TY - JOUR A1 - Schmidt, Bernd A1 - Geissler, Diana T1 - Ru- and Pd-Catalysed Synthesis of 2-Arylfurans by One-Flask Heck Arylation/Oxidation JF - European journal of organic chemistry N2 - 2,5-Disubstituted furans were synthesized by one-flask Heck arylation/oxidation sequences. The starting materials are 2-substituted 2,3-dihydrofurans, conveniently available by RCM/isomerization sequences, and arenediazonium salts. These react in ligand-free Heck reactions to afford 2,5-disub-stituted 2,5-dihydrofurans, which are oxidized to the corresponding furans without isolation or intermediate workup. The oxidation is conveniently achieved with chloranil or DDQ, depending on the substrate.

These offer various opportunities for multiple Pd-catalyzed arene functionalization reactions, such as Matsuda-Heck-, Suzuki-Miyaura- or Fujiwara-Moritani couplings.

Suitable crystals for the X-ray analysis of the complexes 4 and 6 were obtained. It was shown that 6 has a shorter NHC-palladium bond than the IMes complex 4. The difference of the palladium carbene bond lengths based on the higher pi-acceptor strength of (CN)(2)IMes in comparison to IMes. Thus, (CN)(2)IMes should stabilize the catalytically active central palladium atom better than IMes. As a measure for the pi-acceptor strength of (CN)(2)IMes compared to IMes, the selone (CN)(2)IMes center dot Se (7) was prepared and characterized by Se-77-NMR spectroscopy. The pi-acceptor strength of 7 was illuminated by the shift of its Se-77-NMR signal. The Se-77-NMR signal of 7 was shifted to much higher frequencies than the Se-77-NMR signal of IMes center dot Se. Catalytic experiments using the Mizoroki-Heck reaction of aryl chlorides with n-butyl acrylate showed that 6 is the superior performer in comparison to 4. Using complex 6, an extensive substrate screening of 26 different aryl bromides with n-butyl acrylate was performed. Complex 6 is a suitable precatalyst for para-substituted aryl bromides. The catalytically active species was identified by mercury poisoning experiments to be palladium nanoparticles.
