Significance

Magnetite-supported copper oxide (CuO/Fe3O4) or palladium nanoparticles (Pd/Fe3O4) catalyzed the regioselective direct arylation of anilides with diaryliodonium triflates in 1,2-dichloroethane. CuO/Fe3O4 exclusively afforded the meta arylation products in up to 99% yield, whereas Pd/Fe3O4 gave ortho arylation products in up to 89% yield.

Comment

In the direct arylation of N-(o-tolyl)pivalamide with diphenyliodonium triflate, CuO/Fe3O4 was magnetically recovered and reused four times without loss of its catalytic performance. On the other hand, the catalytic activity of Pd/Fe3O4decreased after one recycling. Hot filtration tests and TXRF analysis indicated that catalytically active soluble species were generated in situ from CuO/Fe3O4 and Pd/Fe3O4 during the reaction.
