Palladium-catalyzed distal selective C-H chalcogenation of biphenyl amines

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Jun 29;59(53):8262-8265. doi: 10.1039/d3cc02209a.

Abstract

A palladium-catalyzed distal C(sp2)-H chalcogenation of biphenyl amines is described. This protocol demonstrates scalability, excellent chemo- and regio-selectivity, and broad functional group tolerance, providing efficient access to valuable aryl chalcogenides. Notably, the chalcogenated biphenyl amines could be further transformed to 8-membered N, Se(S)-heterocycles through copper-catalyzed intramolecular C-N cyclization.
