Abstract
Aryl chlorides are more commercially available and lower cost compared with aryl bromides and iodides. However, the use of (hetero)aryl chlorides as aryl radical precursors for the di(hetero)arylation of alkenes remains an underdeveloped area. Furthermore, existing examples of theses reactions are predominantly confined to activated alkenes. In this study, we introduce a photoirradiation-promoted benzophenone-catalyzed 1,2-di(hetero)arylation process that is applicable to both activated and unactivated alkenes, utilizing (hetero)aryl chlorides and cyanoarenes as aryl sources. Importantly, this method allows for the simultaneous introduction of two heterocycles to alkenes with high regioselectivity.
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.
