Heteroaromatic esters were found to be applicable as an arylating agent for the Pd-catalyzed α-arylation of ketones in a decarbonylative fashion. The use of our in-house ligand, dcypt, enabled this unique bond formation. Considering the ubiquity and low cost of ­aromatic esters, the present work will allow for rapid access to valuable α-aryl carbonyl compounds.

酮与杂芳族酯的催化 α-芳基化

发现杂芳族酯可用作芳基化剂，用于 Pd 催化的酮以脱羰方式进行 α-芳基化。使用我们的内部配体 dcypt 实现了这种独特的键形成。考虑到芳香酯的普遍性和低成本，目前的工作将允许快速获得有价值的 α-芳基羰基化合物。
