Synthesis of Functionalized 3,4-Diarylbenzophenones and 2,4-Diarylbenzophenones by Site-Selective Suzuki and Sonogashira Cross-Coupling Reactions of Bis(triflates) of 3,4- and 2,4-Dihydroxybenzophenone

Abstract

Palladium(0)-catalyzed Suzuki and Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions of the bis(triflates) of 2,4- and 3,4-dihydroxybenzophenone afforded 2,4- and 3,4-diarylbenzophenones, respectively. The reactions proceeded with very good site-selectivity in favor of position 4.

Key words

benzophenone - cross-coupling - palladium - site-selectivity - Suzuki reaction - Sonogashira reaction
