Abstract:
Suzuki-type cross-coupling is one of the most common strategies for the construction of C–C bonds. Despite great progress on the preparation of C(sp 2)–C(sp 2) bonds, C(sp 2)–C(sp 3) cross-coupling with aliphatic halides remains rare, especially with tertiary aliphatic halides and under transition-metal-free conditions. Here we report an efficient C(sp 2)–C(sp 3) cross-coupling between α-(pseudo)halo aliphatic ketones and arylboronic acids via a 1,4-metallate shift. The α-arylated ketones obtained from this protocol under transition-metal-free and additive-free conditions in the presence of base are formed when the key intermediate enolate traps the arylboronic acid, leading to a tetracoordinate boron intermediate. A subsequent 1,4-metallate shift affords the Suzuki-type coupling products. This strategy provides a practical, scalable and operationally straightforward method for the synthesis of C(sp 2)–C(sp 3) bonds, and is compatible with challenging tertiary aliphatic halides, allowing for the preparation of 1,3-disubstituted target products.
