Abstract
A photoinduced vitamin-B12-catalyzed meta-C–H bromination/chlorination of phenol derivatives was established using a nitrile directing template and N-bromosuccinimide (NBS)/N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) as halogenated reagents, and a series of meta-bromination/chlorination products were obtained in yields of 51 to 80%. This strategy overcame the selectivity problem of phenols, which have difficulty obtaining meta-products through conventional electrophilic reactions. Furthermore, natural product resveratrol and an intermediate of the γ-secretase inhibitor were successfully synthesized, which demonstrates the practicability of this method.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
