Baran Group Meeting Haloselectivity of Heterocycles Will Gutekunst Background SN(ANRORC) Addition of Nuclophile, Ring Opening, Ring Closure Polysubstituted heterocycles represent some of the most important compounds in the realm of pharmaceutical and material sciences. New and more efficient ways to selectively produce these Br Br molecules are of great importance and one approach is though the use of polyhalo heterocycles.

CO Me N 2 Ar1 H N CO2Me Cross Coupling H Virtually all types of cross coupling have been utilized in regioselective cross coupling reactions: Nucleophilic Substitution Kumada, Negishi, Sonogashira, Stille, Suzuki, Hiyama, etc. SNAr or SN(AE) In all of these examples, the oxidative addition of the metal to the heterocycle is the selectivity determining steps and is frequently considered to be irreversible. This addition highly resembles a nucleophilic substitution and it frequently follows similar regioselectivities in traditional S Ar reactions. Nu N The regioselectivity of cross coupling reaction in polyhalo heterocycles do not always follow the BDE's Nu of the corresponding C-X bonds.

The Handy Method Handy and coworkers disclosed an experimental method in 2006 for predicting the regiochemical + - 1 Ph2I BF4 outcome of multiply halogenated heterocycles using H-NMR of the dehalogenated substrate. The 5% IMesPd(OAc)2 proton that displays the largest chemical shift implies it is attached to the most electron deficient Ph N N carbon atom and, therefore, the preferred site of cross coupling. While this method is not foolproof Me rt, AcOH, 67% Me (it does not take into account sterics, directing groups, or interactions noted by Merlic), it is a good start for predicting regioselectivities of cross coupling reactions.
