Resumen:
The synthesis of biaryl has been
known for more of a century using different transition metal catalyses. These
reactions typically involve either the coupling of an aryl halide or
pseudohalide with an organometallic reagent, or the homocoupling of two aryl
halides or two organometallic reagents.[1]
These methodologies often require a ligand, base and high temperature. New
cheap, efficient and non-contaminant methodologies to prepare these motifs are
great interest.
Recently, an attractive
alternative to the CH arylation of arenes using base-promoted Homolytic
Aromatic Substitution (HAS) reactions has been reported, which avoids the use
of stoichiometric amounts of tin or silicon reagents, initiators, or transition
metals. This proposed mechanism is a chain process with radicals and radical
anions as intermediates (Scheme 1, A),[2]
similar to Substitution Radical Nucleophilic Unimolecular (SRN1),
Scheme 1, B.[3]
As t-BuOK can form [ArX]-. by ET in photostimulated (SRN1)
reactions, we speculated that the C-H arylation of benzene could only be
achieved with t-BuOK and light.
In this work we present a
conceptually different approach toward biaryl syntheses by photoinduced direct
C-H arylation at room temperature without the addition of transition metals or
ligands (Eq. 1). This environmentally friendly methodology promotes effectively
the arylation of unactivated arenes, such as benzene and thiophene, with a
broad range of aryl and heteroaryl halides, including aryl iodides, aryl bromides
and even aryl chloride.
Moreover, double C-H bond arylation were successfully achieved to
construct extended pelectron systems (Eq.
2). On the basis of our results a plausible chain mechanism with radical and
radical anion as intermediates for this photoinduced reaction is proposed
