Abstract
A series of palladium N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes of type trans-{(NHC)PdCl2L} (L = C5H5N, 3-ClC5H4N, and PPh3) (3-5) have been developed as efficient precatalysts for direct C-H bond arylation of various heteroarenes. In particular, an in situ generated new NHC ligand derived from {1,3-di-(2,6-diethylphenyl)acenaphtho[1,2-d] imidazolium} chloride (2) is used for the stabilization of the palladium metal center. Among the screened palladium precatalysts (3-5), the most active PEPPSI themed complex (3) was successfully employed toward direct C-H bond arylation of various heteroarenes and aryl bromides. A range of functional groups on aryl bromides as well as on heteroarenes sustained throughout the standard reaction conditions for easy access of various arylated heterocyclic compounds. Significantly, the utility of the protocol was demonstrated by the effective synthesis of a precursor of raloxifene, a selective estrogen receptor modulator.
