Highly Efficient, General Procedure for the Preparation of Alkylzinc Reagents from Unactivated Alkyl Bromides and Chlorides

Abstract: Alkylzinc bromides have been efficiently prepared by the direct insertion of zinc metal (dust, powder, granule, shot), activated with 1−5 mol % I 2 , into alkyl bromides in a polar aprotic solvent. The zinc reagents thus formed undergo Ni-and Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling with aryl halides to produce functionalized alkylarenes in excellent yields.

“…tained using the Huo procedure [14] from ethyl 5-bromopentanoate, was carried out in the presence of Pd@D296 (d < 100 nm, 0.01 mmol/ g) at 35 8C in a mixture of THF and toluene for 12 h, As expected, this improved Fukuyama-type cross-coupling reaction proceeded well to provide the desired hydroxy ester 8 in 85% yield.…”

“…The 2-phenyl carbonate 2 g, however, behaved differently from the 2-alkyl-substituted analogues, providing moderate and excellent yields for 1 a and 1 b, respectively ( Table 2, entries 11 and 12). The coupling reactions of 1 a and 1 b with 1-alkyl-substituted allyl substrates 2 h-2 k were generally highly efficient ( Table 2, entries [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Poor results were delivered for 1-phenyl allylic carbonate 2 l due to extensive homocoupling (Table 2, entries [21][22].…”

“…The nBuZnBr for these studies was prepared as a solution in DMI by oxidative addition of activated Zn dust into nBuBr following a procedure reported by Huo; [17] this method of organozinc preparation is preferred as it requires relatively little synthetic effort, is efficient and produces no inorganic byproducts. [18] The optimal solvent ratio in the cross-coupling reaction involving 1-bromo-4-chlorobutane and nBuZnBr was found to be 1:2 DMI:THF, where a 12.2:1 apparent selectivity [19] (C alkyl À Br:C alkyl À Cl) was obtained ( Table 1, entry 1); increasing the proportion of DMI relative to THF was detrimental to the apparent selectivity (entries 2-5).…”

“…Following this study, a general one-pot double alkyl-alkyl Negishi orthogonal reaction sequence (Scheme 3) was devised whereby a bifunctional bromochloroalkane was [a] nBuZnBr (1.0 m in DMI) was prepared according to Huo's method. [17] [b] Percent conversion was assessed by GCMS analysis using undecane as a calibrated internal standard. [20] Reactions were performed in duplicate and the average conversions are reported.…”
