Abstract
Hydroarylation of styrenes with arenes/heteroarenes using KHSO4 (10 mol%) as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst is described. High conversion and selectivity (>99%) were observed for hydroarylation of styrenes with 2-naphthol at reflux temperature of 1,2-dichloroethane. Yields were quantitative with all styrenes. Moderate to good conversions and selectivities were achieved with other aromatics and heteroaromatics under the same conditions. Regeneration and reusability of KHSO4 were demonstrated. Addition of a trace amount of water could help to reactivate the KHSO4 through dispersion and to facilitate the hydroarylation reaction.
