Abstract

Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-couplings of 2-(2-azaaryl)acetates with aryl halides and triflates have been discovered. This reaction is potentially useful for the synthesis of some functionalized pyridines, quinolines, pyrazines, benzoxazoles, and benzothiazoles. Theoretical analysis shows that the nitrogen atom at the 2-position of the heteroaromatics directly coordinates to Pd(II) in the decarboxylation transition state.

  17. We isolated the CP2 complex with 4-CN-phenyl substitution according to a previous paper (Yin, J., & Buchwald, S. L. (2002). Journal of the American Chemical Society, 124, 6043–6048). We found that CP2 is catalytically active. By addition of CP2 to the reaction between bromobenzene and potassium 2-(2-pyridyl)acetate, we could obtain the desired product (2-benzylpyridine) in 99% GC yield. We also observed a small amount of crossover byproduct, namely, 4-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)benzonitrile.
