Abstract
Alkylating bismuthanes containing C(sp3)–Bi bonds were first disclosed as early as 1850, but their development remains severely limited, especially the synthetic method. Herein, we developed the first Fe/Mn-synergistic promoted C(sp3)–Bi cross-coupling of alkyl halides with chlorobismuthanes, which can access alkylbismuthanes in satisfactory yields with various functional group compatibility (cyano, ester, aldehyde, and amide). Inactivated alkyl chlorides/bromides, as well as cyclic and acyclic alkyl electrophiles, smoothly yielded the corresponding products. Gram-scale synthesis and late-stage modification of drug molecules were also conducted. The synthesized alkylbismuthanes also could be alkylation reagents toward C(sp3)–C(sp2), C(sp3)–Se, C(sp3)–S, and C(sp3)–N bonds.
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.
