Abstract

The Ullmann-type coupling reactions of aryl iodides and aliphatic alcohols occur at 110 °C with N,N-dimethylglycine as the ligand, giving aryl alkyl ethers in good to excellent yields.

Key words

cross-coupling - aliphatic alcohols - catalysis - ligands - aryl iodides

N , N -Dimethylglycine-Promoted Coupling Reactions of Aryl Halides with Alcohols; General Procedure: A re-sealable tube or test tube with a removable cap was charged with CuI (10 mol%), N,N-dimethylglycine·HCl (20 mol%), Cs₂CO₃ (2 equiv), and aryl halide (if solid, 2 mmol). The tube was evacuated and backfilled with N₂ (3 cycles). Alcohol (2 mL) and aryl halide (if liquid, 2 mmol) were added by syringe at r.t. under nitrogen. The sealed or capped tube was put into the oil bath that was preheated to 110 °C and the reaction mixture was stirred for the time specified. The cooled mixture was partitioned between H₂O (10 mL) and EtOAc or Et₂O (20 mL). The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc or Et₂O (10 mL) each time until TLC showed no trace of product left in the aqueous layer. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na₂SO₄ and concentrated. Purification of the residue by flash chromatography on silica gel [2 × 20 cm, PE (30-60 °C)-EtOAc or Et₂O] gave the desired product.
