Abstract
Although alkyl alcohols and aryl chlorides are the two most abundant substrate pools for cross-electrophile coupling, methods to couple them remain limited. Herein we demonstrate a simple procedure for the in situ deoxychlorination of alcohols followed by XEC with aryl chlorides. A broad substrate scope can be achieved by tuning the rate of the reaction via halide exchange. Key to success is the identification of 1-chloro-N,N,2-trimethyl-1-propenylamine as a mild, noninterfering halogenation reagent.
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.
