The Pd-catalyzed etherification of nitroarenes with arenols has been achieved using a new rationally designed ligand. Mechanistic insights were used to design the ligand so that both the oxidative addition and reductive elimination steps of a plausible catalytic cycle were facilitated. The catalytic system established here provides direct access to a range of unsymmetrical diaryl ethers from nitroarenes.

Forging a bond: An efficient, general palladium catalyst for C-O bond-forming reactions of secondary and primary alcohols with a range of aryl halides has been developed using the ligand 1. Heteroaryl halides, and for the first time, electron-rich aryl halides can be coupled with secondary alcohols. A diverse set of substrate combinations are possible with just a single ligand, thus obviating the need to survey multiple ligands. Copyright

The NF fluorinating agent F-TEDA-BF4 dication salt (Selectfluor) 1 dissolves in imidazolium-based ionic liquids [emim][OTf] 7, [emim][BF4] 8, [bmim][PF6] 9 and [bmim][BF4] 10 (assisted by sonication), providing a convenient medium for fluorination of arenes under essentially acid-free conditions in a simple set-up (no volatile solvent; simple extraction of the aromatics without aqueous work-up), from which the ionic liquid can be easily recycled and reused. Comparative studies in [emim][OTf] 7 with anisole as substrate show that 1 is superior to NFTh-BF4 (Accufluor) 2 and that the N-fluoropyridinium salt NFPy-B2F7 4 is least effective. The scope of the reaction has been surveyed. Substrate selectivity (k mesitylene: k durene = 10) measured in competitive experiments in 7 is clearly indicative of a conventional polar mechanism. Substrate selectivity measured without the ionic liquid in MeCN solvent is also indicative of a polar mechanism but exhibits lower magnitude (k mesitylene: kdurene = 6). Addition of dicyclohexano-24-crown-8 to the fluorination reaction mixture (1 and anisole) in 7 reduced the conversion but did not change the isomer distribution. AM1 minimization was used to model the complexation of 1 with this crown. With reactive aromatics optimal fluorination yields in ionic liquids (using 1 equivalent of the NF reagent) are around 50% (higher for naphthalene). A key control experiment suggests that the free base (produced upon transfer-fluorination) could complex to unreacted 1 (generating a bulky dimer complex which may be ineffective for fluorine transfer) in competition to N-protonation.
