An efficient one-pot desulfinative cross-coupling reaction catalyzed by Pd is reported for the synthesis of medicinally relevant di(hetero)arylmethanes.
An efficient Pd-catalyzed one-pot desulfinative cross-coupling to access medicinally relevant di(hetero)arylmethanes is reported. The method is reductant-free, and involves a sulfinate transfer reagent and a Pd-catalyst mediating the union of two electrophilic coupling partners; a (hetero)aryl halide and a benzyl halide. We establish for the first time that benzyl sulfinates, generated in situ, undergo efficient Pd-catalyzed desulfinative cross-coupling with (hetero)aryl halides to generate di(hetero)arylmethanes. The reaction can be extended to benzylic pseudohalides derived from benzyl alcohols. The reactions are straightforward to perform and scalable, and all reaction components are commercially available.
