Abstract

A domino oxidation-acyloxylation reaction of 2-arylpyridines with aldehydes or methylarenes under the catalysis of Cu(OAc)₂ has been developed. The strategy via C-H bond functionalization has the advantages of good functional-group tolerance, high ortho regioselectivity and no need of any ligand or additive.

Key words

C-H activation - copper catalysis - domino reaction - acyloxylation - oxidation

General Procedure for the Oxidation-Acyloxylation Reaction of 2-Arylpyridine 1 with Aldehydes 2
To a mixture of 2-arylpyridine (0.25 mmol), aldehyde (0.5 mmol), Cu(OAc)₂ (10 mol%, 4.5 mg), and chlorobenzene (2 mL) was added tert-butyl hydroperoxide (2 equiv, 5.5 M in decane) dropwise at r.t. The reaction mixture was stirred at 135 ˚C for 24 h. After the reaction, EtOAc (10 mL) was added, and the mixture was washed with aq NaOH (1 M, 5 mL), H₂O (10 mL), and brine (10 mL), respectively. The filtrate was dried over Na₂SO₄ and then concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, PE-EtOAc as eluent) to afford the desired products 3a-n.

Unexpectedly, when toluene was employed under the optimal conditions, only a trace amount of benzoxylated product was obtained.
