Abstract
We report a method for the direct palladium-catalyzed cross coupling reactions of cyclopropenyl esters bearing a variety of substitution patterns with Csp2 iodides. This reaction is largely insensitive to the electronic nature of the coupling partner. Tetramethylammonium acetate, a halide sequestrant, was exceptionally effective as an organic base. An observed KIE of 2.5 revealed C–H bond cleavage to be involved in the turnover-limiting step. This method enables the rapid assembly of cyclopropenes whose preparation previously required the use of toxic tin and arsenic reagents.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Science is a journal that encompasses various disciplines within the chemical sciences. Its scope includes publishing ground-breaking research with significant implications for its respective field, as well as appealing to a wider audience in related areas. To be considered for publication, articles must showcase innovative and original advances in their field of study and be presented in a manner that is understandable to scientists from diverse backgrounds. However, the journal generally does not publish highly specialized research.
