Inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder reactions of 4-aryl-2-pyrones with electron-rich dienophiles

The Diels-Alder reaction of 4-aryl-pyrones with electron-rich dienophiles afforded substituted biaryl derivatives in most cases. At the minimal temperatures necessary for a measurable conversion of the starting pyrones, the bicyclic lactones, the primary products of the condensation, underwent cycloreversion by extruding carbon dioxide and then aromatised through further eliminations. In the case of the more active 4-aryl-6-chloro-pyrone, a formal substitution was observed instead of the expected cycloaddition with an active dienophile, while in its reaction with a Schiff-base the primary product of the cycloaddition was trapped through the formation of a new tetrahydropyridine derivative.

The direct cross-couplings of aryl sulfonium salts with aryl halides could be achieved by using nickel as a reaction catalyst. The reactions proceeded efficiently via C-S bond activation in the presence of magnesium turnings and lithium chloride in THF at ambient temperature to afford the corresponding biaryls in moderate to good yields, potentially serving as an attractive alternative to conventional cross-coupling reactions employing preprepared organometallic reagents.

The cobalt-catalyzed Suzuki biaryl cross-coupling of aryl chloride substrates with aryl boron reagents, activated with more commonly used bases, remained a significant unmet challenge in the race to replace platinum group metal catalysts with Earth-abundant metal alternatives. We now show that this highly desirable process can be realized using alkoxide bases, provided the right counterion is employed, strict stoichiometric control of the base is maintained with respect to the aryl boron reagent, and the correct boron ester is selected. Potassium tert-butoxide works well, but any excess of the base first inhibits and then poisons the catalyst. Lithium tert-butoxide performs very poorly, while even catalytic amounts of lithium additives also poison the catalyst. Meanwhile, a neopentane diol-based boron ester is required for best performance. As well as delivering this sought-after transformation, we have undertaken detailed mechanistic and computational investigations to probe the possible mechanism of the reaction and help explain the unexpected experimental observations.
