Abstract
AbstractA facile and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of fluorenes by Pd-catalyzed C–H alkylation of biphenyl-2-yl trifluoromethanesulfonates. The trifluoromethanesulfonates are more readily available and more environmentally benign than biphenyl iodides, and are advantageous substrates for traceless directing-group-assisted C–H activation. The reaction generates C,C-palladacycles as the key intermediates that form two C(sp2)–C(sp3) bonds through reaction with CH2Br2. The reaction tolerates various functional groups, permitting easy access to a range of fluorene derivatives.
