Abstract
We have developed a Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction for synthesizing key scaffold of important fungicides in water. The Pd-loading was as low as 30 ppm after optimization of experiment conditions with high TON. Additionally, the green, cheap and convenient ethanolamine was found to be as a highly efficient ligand for this transformation. Different heteroarylboronic halides and arylboronic acids were all suitable for construction of biphenyl scaffolds up to 98 % yield. We successfully carried out gram-scale experiments in two-step synthesis of Bixafen, making it a promising and environmental-friendly approach for industrialization.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
