  • Over the past few decades, the field of C—H bond functionalization has gained considerable attention, mainly because it is an efficient and powerful synthetic method for C—C or C—X bond formation.[1] The biaryl scaffolds play an indispensable role in numerous medicinal chemistry, natural products and organic materials.[2] Therefore, searching simple and efficient methods for construction of these structures is becoming more attractive. The oxidative coupling reaction with fewer reaction step has emerged as the most elegant method to construct biaryl scaffolds.[3] However, poor regioselectivity hinders its development.[4] Increasingly, directing group (DG) assisted C—H arylation has been extensively investigated with highly-site- selectivity in atom- and step-economic mode.[5] In these reactions, diverse DGs have exhibited a superior ability to assist C(sp2)—H arylation, such as pyridine, [6] 8-amino- quinoline, [7] oxime-ester, [8] cyano, [9] amide[10] and PIP-amine.[11]

    Recently, late-stage functionalization has become a valuable strategy, which can directly transform complicated structures into new bioactive compounds.[12] Pyrazoles are widely distributed in drug molecules.[13] In previous works, transition metal-catalyzed diverse C—H bond functionalizations have been realized using pyrazole as DG through reactions such as arylation, [14a-14b, 14h-14i, 14k, 14m-14n] alkenylation, [14c-14d] amidation, [14e] aroylation[14g, 14j, 14l] and others.[14f]

    We recently reported Pd-catalyzed C(sp2)—H late-stage mono-acetoxylation, [15a] iodination[15a] and aroylation[15b] of pyrazoles (Scheme 1, A). Despite so many advances, efforts are still in high demand to develop late-stage functionalization containing a pharmacophore. Herein, we disclose the first C(sp2)—H bond late-stage mono-arylation using fully substituted pyrazole as auxiliary. This protocol shows a broad substrate scope and wide functional group tolerance, which provides a potential tool for the screening of potential natural products and medicines.

    Scheme 1

    Scheme 1.  Previous related works and our present work

    As an initial experiment, the reaction of the model substrate 1a and 2a (2.0 equiv.) was performed in the presence of Pd(OAc)2 (10 mol%), AgTFA (2.0 equiv.) in AcOH at 120 ℃ (Table 1), and 3a was isolated in the yield of 45%. Firstly, different solvents including 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3-hexafluoro- 2-propanol (HFIP), toluene, N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and the mixture solvents of HFIP/AcOH were screened, HFIP/AcOH (V:V=3:1) was suitable for the reaction (Entries 1~7). Subsequently, it was found that Pd(OAc)2 was the best catalyst compared with other Pd salts (Entry 6 vs. 8~12). Furthermore, AgTFA was considered as the ideal additive (Entry 6 vs. 13~15). On the other hand, the yield was obviously improved when increased the loading of 2a from 2.0 equiv. to 3.0 equiv. (Entry 16). However, when the amount of AgTFA or the reaction temperatures were changed, the results were unsatisfactory (Entries 16~17). Therefore, the standard conditions were as followed: 1a (0.3 mmol), 2a (0.9 mmol), AgTFA (2.0 equiv.), HFIP/AcOH (V:V=3:1, 3.0 mL), 120 ℃, 20 h.

    With the established conditions in hand, the scope of functionalized pyrazoles was explored and the representative products are shown in Table 2. Different functional groups including Me, OMe, F, Cl, Br, I, NO2 and 2-naphthyl groups were tolerated and can be transformed into the desired products (3a~3q). Electron-donating groups such as methyl and methoxy are substituted at the para of 1-phenyl could favorably deliver the desired products in good yields (3a, 3b). In comparison, the substrates containing electron-withdrawing groups were less reactive (3d~3h). Especially, the strongly electron-withdrawing group NO2 was also provided the arylation product in 48% yield (3h). It was found that the meta-substituted of 1-phenyl pyrazoles reacted in the less hindered positions with 2a giving the corresponding products (3i~3m). To our disappointment, the ortho-position substituted substrates were not suitable for this reaction, which possibly due to the fact that steric constraints toward the formation of the complex intermediate (3n~3p).[15b] In addition, 1-(2-naphthyl) substrates could also be applied in the transformation to deliver the desired product in good yield (3q). Furthermore, the yield was decreased when alkyl group instead of the aryl at the 5-site (3r), which means the aryl group was important for the reaction. Moreover, 5-aryl bearing electron- donating group (R2p-Me) and electron-withdrawing group (R2p-Cl) were well tolerated (3s, 3t). Meanwhile, the alkyl substituted substrates could also be applied to the transformation to deliver the desired products in the moderate yield (3u, 3v).

    In the next stage, various of aryl iodides were examined. A range of electronically biased aryl iodides such as OMe, Me, COOEt, F, Cl, Br, CF3, COCH3 and COOCH3 were tolerated in this protocol (Table 3). In general, the electron-rich partners gave higher yield than those bearing electron- withdrawing groups in the para-positions and meta- positions (4b~4l), but the ethyl 4-iodobenzoate could furnish the corresponding product in 81% yield (4g). Importantly, the reactive groups like F, Cl, Br, COOEt and COCH3 can be easily transformed into another functional molecular. Steric effect plays a critical role in the transformation, no products were obtained for the ortho- substituted aryl iodides (4m, 4n), maybe due to the fact that the larger steric could block the formation of the complex palladacyclic intermediate. Then, the electron-rich 6-iodo-1, 4-benzodioxane also showed the excellent reactivity and gave the good yield (4o). To our surprise, the 3, 5-substituted aryl iodides also afforded the moderate yield (4p). Unfortunately, 2-substituted 6-iodopyridine and 2-iodothiophene as the coupling partners independently reacted with 1c, no desired products were obtained (4q, 4r).

    To gain insight into the reaction mechanism, a few control experiments were conducted. The intermolecular competition experiments revealed the donating-group was more active than those withdrawing-group (Scheme 2). Meanwhile, the kinetic isotopic effect experiment was performed between 1c and 1c' with 2a under the standard conditions, the result (kH/kD=3.5) implicated the C—H bond cleavage as the rate-limiting step (Scheme 3). Besides, gram scale reaction was also performed (Scheme 4). According to the literature, the key palladacycle intermediate I was successfully obtained [15b, 16] (Scheme 5). When the intermediate II was exposed to the standard conditions in the absence of substrate 1c and Pd(OAc)2, the target product 3c was obtained in the yield of 67%.

    Scheme 5.  Preparation and functionlization of the dual-core dimeric cyclopalladated intermediate II

    Based on the experiments and the relevant documented reports, [6-8, 15b, 16] a plausible reaction pathway is proposed in Scheme 6. First, Pd(OAc)2 coordinates with the substrate I to form the key dual-core dimeric cyclopalladated intermediate II through the C—H bond activation, the oxidative addition with aryl iodide and the key intermediate II will generate the Pd(Ⅳ) intermediate III. Finally, the product is obtained by reductive elimination and regenerating the Pd(Ⅱ) catalyst. The role of the Ag salt may facilitate oxidative addition of aryl iodides to Pd(Ⅱ) centers and be used as the iodide scavengers.[5f]

    Scheme 6.  Plausible mechanism

    In summary, an easily method for late-stage arylation of fully substituted pyrazoles via palladium-catalyzed have been developed. A variety of pyrazoles and aryl iodides were tolerated in this protocol. Importantly, the arylation reaction of the highly functionalized substrates can be transformed into the complex bioactive molecules in a mono-site- selectivity and simple operation way. This protocol will facilitate the potential development of the medicine and material chemistry.

    All reactions were carried out in oven-dried glassware and monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC, pre-coated silica gel plates containing HF254). NMR spectra were determined on Bruker AV400 in CDCl3 with TMS as internal standard for 1H NMR (400 MHz) and 13C NMR (100 MHz), respectively. HRMS were measured on a QSTAR Pulsar I LC/TOF MS mass spectrometer or Micromass GCTTM gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer.

    A mixture of substrate 1 (0.3 mmol), 4-iodoanisole 2 (0.9 mmol), Pd(OAc)2 (10 mol%, 6.7 mg), AgTFA (2.0 equiv., 132.6 mg) in HFIP/AcOH (V:V=3:1, 3.0 mL) was charged in a glass sealed-tube and stirred under air atmosphere at 120 ℃ for 20 h. Upon completion of the reaction, the solution was concentrated in vacuo for 30 min, then saturated sodium bicarbonate (30 mL) and dichloromethane (15 mL) were added into the mixture, then the aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (15 mL×2). The combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous MgSO4. Finally, the solution was concentrated in vacuo to provide a crude product, which was further purified via a column chromatography on silica gel [eluents: V(petroleum ether):V(ethyl acetate)=5:1] to supply the desired product.
