A simple synthetic procedure for the Pd-catalyzed hydroarylation of diazoacetic ester has been previously developed in our laboratory. Now we have applied this methodology for hydroarylation of α-diazocarboxylates/α-diazophosphonates. Diazo compounds reacted with aryl iodides and formic acid to afford diarylated esters or phosphonates in yields up to 71%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
