Article: Iron-Catalyzed Aromatic Amination for Nonsymmetrical Triarylamine Synthesis.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Novel iron-catalyzed amination reactions of various aryl bromides have been developed for the synthesis of diaryl- and triarylamines. The key to the success of this protocol is the use of in situ generated magnesium amides in the presence of a lithium halide, which dramatically increases the product yield. The present method is simple and free of precious and expensive metals and ligands, thus providing a facile route to triarylamines, a recurrent core unit in organic electronic materials as well as pharmaceuticals.Journal of the American Chemical Society 11/2012; · 9.91 Impact Factor -
Article: Cross-coupling of non-activated chloroalkanes with aryl Grignard reagents in the presence of iron/N-heterocyclic carbene catalysts.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An efficient and high-yielding cross-coupling reaction of various primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl chlorides with aryl Grignard reagents was achieved by using catalytic amounts of N-heterocyclic carbene ligands and iron salts. This reaction is a simple and efficient arylation method having applicability to a wide range of industrially abundant chloroalkanes, including polychloroalkanes, which are challenging substrates under conventional cross-coupling conditions.Organic Letters 02/2012; 14(4):1066-9. · 5.86 Impact Factor
