Electrophilic substitutions arylation reactions

From a eonsideration of the further substitution of C-substituted car-bazoles, a straightforward picture emerges, in so far as results are available (see Section II,D for examples and references). An alkyl or aryl group on carbazole nitrogen does not alter the strong tendency for 3-electrophilic substitution, but reactions are slower.

Resonance effects are the primary influence on orientation and reactivity in electrophilic substitution. The common activating groups in electrophilic aromatic substitution, in approximate order of decreasing effectiveness, are —NR2, —NHR, —NH2, —OH, —OR, —NO, —NHCOR, —OCOR, alkyls, —F, —Cl, —Br, —1, aryls, —CH2COOH, and —CH=CH—COOH. Activating groups are ortho- and para-directing. Mixtures of ortho- and para-isomers are frequently produced the exact proportions are usually a function of steric effects and reaction conditions. 

Electrophilic substitution occurs readily in Af-phenyl groups, e.g. 1-phenyI-pyrazoIes, -imidazoles and -pyrazolinones are all nitrated and halogenated at the para position. The aryl group is attacked preferentially when the reactions are carried out in strongly acidic media, where the azole ring is protonated.

The reaction involves an electrophilic attack into the 5-position of the pyrimidine ring and thus only those pyrimidines that are activated toward electrophilic substitution by the presence of electron-donating substituents at the 2- and 4-positions undergo cyclization. 2,4,6-Triaminopyrimidine, 6-aminouracil, 6-amino-2-thiouracil, 4-amino-2,4 dimercaptopyrimidine, 2,4-diaminopyrimidin-6(l/I)-one, and various 4-amino-vV-alkyl and aryl pyriinidones have all been converted into pyrido[2,3-[Pg.160]

The presently known electrophilic substitution reactions all occur at the 4-position of the isoxazole nucleus, corresponding to the j3-position in pyridine. Thus the influence of the nitrogen atom is predominant. The introduction of alkyl and, particularly, aryl substituents into the isoxazole nucleus markedly increases its reactivity (on the other hand, during nitration and sulfonation the isoxazole nucleus also activates the phenyl nucleus). 

As we ve seen, aromatic substitution reactions usually occur by an electrophilic mechanism. Aryl halides that have electron-withdrawing substituents, however, can also undergo nucleophilic aromatic substitution. For example. 2,4,6-trinitrochlorobenzene reacts with aqueous NaOH at room temperature to give 2,4,6-trinitrophenol. The nucleophile OH- has substituted for Cl-. 

This homoenolate methodology has been extended to the use of nitrones 170 as electrophiles [72]. Scheldt and co-workers have shown that enantiomerically enriched y-amino esters 172 can be prepared with excellent levels of stereocontrol from an enal 27 and a nitrone 170 using the NHC derived from triazolium salt 164 (Scheme 12.37). The oxazinone product 171, formally a result of a [3-1-3] cycloaddition, is cleaved to afford the y-amino ester product 172. The reaction shows broad substrate scope, as a range of substituted aryl nitrones containing electron donating and withdrawing substituents are tolerated, while the enal component is tolerant of both alkyl and aryl substituents. 

Other electrophilic substitution reactions on aromatic and heteroaromatic systems are summarized in Scheme 6.143. Friedel-Crafts alkylation of N,N-dimethyl-aniline with squaric acid dichloride was accomplished by heating the two components in dichloromethane at 120 °C in the absence of a Lewis acid catalyst to provide a 23% yield of the 2-aryl-l-chlorocydobut-l-ene-3,4-dione product (Scheme 6.143 a) [281]. Hydrolysis of the monochloride provided a 2-aryl-l-hydroxycyclobut-l-ene-3,4-dione, an inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatases [281], Formylation of 4-chloro-3-nitrophenol with hexamethylenetetramine and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) at 115 °C for 5 h furnished the corresponding benzaldehyde in 43% yield, which was further manipulated into a benzofuran derivative (Scheme 6.143b) [282]. 4-Chloro-5-bromo-pyrazolopyrimidine is an important intermediate in the synthesis of pyrazolopyrimi-dine derivatives showing activity against multiple kinase subfamilies (see also Scheme 6.20) and can be rapidly prepared from 4-chloropyrazolopyrimidine and N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) by microwave irradiation in acetonitrile (Scheme... 

Electrophilic substitution of the ring hydrogen atom in 1,3,4-oxadiazoles is uncommon. In contrast, several reactions of electrophiles with C-linked substituents of 1,3,4-oxadiazole have been reported. 2,5-Diaryl-l,3,4-oxadiazoles are bromi-nated and nitrated on aryl substituents. Oxidation of 2,5-ditolyl-l,3,4-oxadiazole afforded the corresponding dialdehydes or dicarboxylic acids. 2-Methyl-5-phenyl-l,3,4-oxadiazole treated with butyllithium and then with isoamyl nitrite yielded the oxime of 5-phenyl-l,3,4-oxadiazol-2-carbaldehyde. 2-Chloromethyl-5-phenyl-l,3,4-oxadiazole under the action of sulfur and methyl iodide followed by amines affords the respective thioamides. 2-Chloromethyl-5-methyl-l,3,4-oxadia-zole and triethyl phosphite gave a product, which underwent a Wittig reation with aromatic aldehydes to form alkenes. Alkyl l,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxylates undergo typical reactions with ammonia, amines, and hydrazines to afford amides or hydrazides. It has been shown that 5-amino-l,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxylic acids and their esters decarboxylate. 

A comparison of the yields of para-substituted [18F]fluoroarenes indicate that (i) acetyl hypofluorite is an inferior fluorination agent for the fluorodegermylation reaction and (ii) the aromatic substituents have considerable influence over the reactivity of the fluorination. A decrease in the fluorodegermylation yield was observed with electron-withdrawing aromatic substituents. The electrophilic aromatic degermylation reaction is thought to proceed via a cr-complex intermediate (Scheme 3). It has been hypothesized that the yield of aryl fluoride is influenced to some extent by the aromatic substituents ability to stabilize the cr-complex intermediate. 

The intramolecular arylation of sp3 C-H bonds is observed in the reaction of l-/ r/-butyl-2-iodobenzene under palladium catalysis (Equation (71)) 94 94a 94b The oxidative addition of Arl to Pd(0) gives an ArPdl species, which undergoes the electrophilic substitution at the tert-butyl group to afford the palladacycle. To this palladacycle, another molecule of Arl oxidatively adds, giving the Pd(iv) complex.
