Iron-catalyzed nitrogen-directed coupling of arene and aryl bromides mediated by metallic magnesium
2-Arylpyridines, 2-alkenylpyridine, and aromatic imines can be coupled with aryl bromides in the presence of an iron catalyst, metallic magnesium, a diamine ligand and an organic dihalide oxidant at 0 °C. The use of a 1:1 mixture of tetrahydrofuran and 1,4-dioxane is essential for this CH bond activ...

| Summary: | 2-Arylpyridines, 2-alkenylpyridine, and aromatic imines can be coupled with aryl bromides in the presence of an iron catalyst, metallic magnesium, a diamine ligand and an organic dihalide oxidant at 0 °C. The use of a 1:1 mixture of tetrahydrofuran and 1,4-dioxane is essential for this CH bond activation reaction. The reaction has wider scope of the substrate compared with the reaction using a separately prepared Grignard reagent, and proceeds with lower catalyst loading (2.5 mol%). |
