meta-Olefination of Electron-Deficient Arenes

Zhang, Y. H.; Shi, B. F.; Yu, J. Q. JACS, 2009, 131, 5027

• The use of a rationally designed mutually repulsive ligand was crucial for C-H activation of electron-deficient arenes

• 1 atm O2 can be used as the sole oxidant • A combination of C-H acidity and steric hindrance seem to govern the reactivity of the

different sites, suggesting a concerted mechanism.

Carboxylic Acids as The Directing Group

Yu, J. Q. et al. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2009,48, 5094-5115

• Pd(II) is forced to coordinate with the unhindered lone pair of electrons on the oxygen atom B triggering C-H insertion

A working model for cationic counter ions promoted Pd(II)-insertion

• Counter cations coordinate with the carboxylate group in a ҡ2 fashion A

gave better yield Wasa, M.; Engle, K. M.; Yu, J. Q. JACS, 2010, 132, 3680-3681

Pyridine-Directed Arylation of sp3 C―H bonds

• Palladation forming a five-membered ring is prefered. • When the directing group is Pyridyl, primary C―H

bonds react faster than the secondary C―H bonds, allowing for the selective monoarylation of methyl groups.

Intramolecular Alkane Arylation

• Selective at primary position • Concerted inner-sphere palladation-deprotonation pathway involed a three-center agostic interaction:

Conclusion

• However, development in this field is still at an early stage compared to the state of the art of traditional cross-coupling reactions. Major challenges must still be overcome before having broad applicability:

-Air as the oxidant -Reduced catalyst loading -Directing group issues -Regioselectivity -Enantioselectivity

• Various catalytic cycles have been developed to accomplish the olefination, arylation, and alkylation of unactivated C-H bonds. Significant advances in developing novel reactions and mechanistic understanding have broadened applicability of this catalyst.
