Abstract

Abstract Image

Chemoselective cross-coupling of aliphatic and aromatic acyl chlorides with aryl-, heteroaryl-, and alkynylstannanes proceeds in up to 98% yield using 2.5 mol % of bis(di-tert-butylchlorophosphine)palladium(II) dichloride as the precatalyst. Various functional groups including aryl chlorides and bromides that usually undergo oxidative addition to palladium complexes bearing phosphinous acid or dialkylchlorophosphine ligands are tolerated. This procedure allows convenient ketone formation and eliminates inherent limitations of Friedel−Crafts acylations such as substituent-directing effects and typical reactivity requirements of Lewis acid-catalyzed electrophilic aromatic substitutions.
