Abstract

A rhodium-catalyzed annulative coupling of (2-arylphenyl)boronic acids with alkynes has been developed for the facile construction of phenanthrene frameworks. The reaction proceeded without external bases, and dioxygen worked as a terminal oxidant. Deuterium-labeling experiments indicated the involvement of five-membered rhodacycle intermediates.

Key words

alkynes - arylboronic acids - phenanthrenes - rhodium - oxidative coupling - C–H functionalization

  • 12 General Procedure for Equation 1 and Scheme 2To a 20 mL two-necked flask were added arylboronic acid 1 (0.25 mmol), alkyne 2 (0.25 mmol), [(Cp*RhCl2)2] (0.005 mmol, 3 mg), Cu(OAc)2·H2O (0.025 mmol, 5 mg), 1-methylnaphthalene (ca. 50 mg) as internal standard, and DMF (3 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred under air at 100 °C for 2 h. Then, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered through an alumina pad with CH2Cl2. After evaporating the solvents, product 3 was isolated by column chromatography on silica gel.9,10-Dipropylphenanthrene (3aa) [CAS Reg.
