Abstract
The palladium-catalyzed chemoselective carbonylation of bromoaryl triflates is reported. The selective C-Br bond versus C-OTf (OTf=triflate) bond functionalization can be remarkably tuned by the combination of the ligand [4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9-dimethylxanthene (Xantphos) vs. 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (DPPF)] and the solvent (toluene vs. DMSO). The respective ligand and solvent effects are rationalized by DFT calculations. In contrast, the monodentate ligands BuPAd2 and tBu3 P prefer the selective C-Br bond activation and are solvent insensitive.
