Reusable and Magnetic Palladium and Copper Oxide Catalysts in Direct ortho and meta Arylation of Anilide Derivatives

Dedicated to Prof. Victor Snieckus on the occasion of his 80^th birthday

Abstract

We report a general, direct C–H arylation of anilide derivatives using reusable palladium or copper oxide on magnetite as heterogeneous precatalysts. Highly selective ortho and meta arylations are achieved using electronically and sterically diverse diaryliodonium salts. Catalytically active soluble species from the heterogeneous precursors were detected by experimental techniques. Preliminary mechanistic investigation suggests different reaction pathways for each of the catalysts.

Key words

regioselective direct C–H arylation - reusable palladium catalyst - reusable copper oxide catalyst - leaching–redeposition - anilide derivatives
