Copper-Mediated Direct Alkoxylation of Arenes Using an N,O-Bidentate Directing System.
2015
Highly effective CuCl-mediated C—H alkoxylation of arenes and heteroarenes has been developed by using a 2-aminopyridine 1-oxide moiety as an N,O-bidentate directing group. The reaction proceeds smoothly using a broad range of substrates to afford o-alkoxylated benzoic and heteroaromatic amide products. Moreover, the reaction system shows remarkable compatibility when hexafluoroisopropanol is used as a coupling parter; halogen, nitro, ether, alkoxy, ester, and sulfonyl functional groups are all tolerated. The directing group can be easily removed by base hydrolysis, affording o-alkoxylated benzoic acids.
