A novel palladium-catalyzed direct o-C-H iodination of benzaldehydes was successfully developed using a commercially available 2,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)aniline as the optimal Monodentate Transient Directing Group (MonoTDG), achieving moderate to excellent yields and good selectivity. Importantly, a concise two-step total synthesis of the natural product hernandial was demonstrated by merging this new MonoTDG-assisted C-H iodination with subsequent copper-catalyzed cross-coupling.
The first palladium-catalyzed direct o-C-H iodination of benzaldehydes was successfully developed with the assistance of commercially available 2,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)aniline as the optimal monodentate transient directing group (MonoTDG). Moderate to excellent yields and good selectivity were achieved for a broad substrate scope under mild conditions. More importantly, the synthetic application was demonstrated by a concise two-step total synthesis of the natural product hernandial, which was accomplished by merging this new MonoTDG-assisted C-H iodination and subsequent copper-catalyzed cross-coupling.
