ABSTRACT. o-Aminophenol (OAP) has been discovered as practical precursor of directing group (DG) in the palladium-catalyzed aromatic C-H arylation of benzamides. This newly identified, simple and low cost DG has exhibited broad substrate tolerance in the rapid synthesis of various o-arylated benzamides via direct assemblies of benzoyl chlorides, aryl iodides and different o-aminophenols in the form of step economical multicomponent reaction.

synthesis,1 drug discovery2 and material synthesis.3 Among the currently known tactics enabling the C-H bond activation and functionalization, the directed C-H activation wherein a DG is employed to assist the transformation of latent C-H bond is regarded as the most widely applicable and reliable protocol, since

the presence of a proper DG is capable of inducing the

reaction selectivity and facilitating the bond transformation by stabilizing the reaction intermediate.4 The past decade has witnessed spectacular progress in the research of directed C-H activation reactions, and unprecedented sophistication in the types, functions as well as innovative concepts around the DG-based synthesis have been disclosed. Currently, a massive number of different DGs, including the monodentate DG,5 bidentate DG,6 and many other effective DGs7 are available for assisting the activation of C-H bonds of different types. In despite the notable advances in the DG-assisted C-H activation, challenges also exist and remain yet to address. One of the major problems is the rare availability of practical DG precursors with satisfactory stability and low cost. The even more serious challenge is that most of the known directed C-H activation reactions suffers from the cumbersome operations in installing the DG to substrates and/or removing the DG from products. Therefore, tremendous efforts have been made in recent years to overcome the problems of the low atom economy resulting from the lengthy operation. Gratifyingly, a variety of effective strategies and concepts, including traceless DG,4c,8

deciduous DG,9 transient/catalytic DG10 and in situ DG generation11 etc have been conceived and accomplished to guide more efficient directed C-H activation reactions. However, considering the high cost, hard substructure variation or limited application scope in the type of C-H bond transformation, developing new bidentate DG which address one or more of these restrictions is still highly desirable to complement the chemistry of directed C-H activation. During our efforts in developing step-efficient C-H activation reactions, we have reported in 2015 the 8-aminoquinoline (AQ) directed benzamide Ar-H arylation reactions by the in situ DG installation, which represents the first example free-of prior DG installation in AQ directed C-H activation reactions.12 Under the inspiration of this work, the γ-C-H arylation of phenylacetamides,13 the β-C(sp3)-H arylation of alkyl amides14 and the o-sulfenylation of the Ar-H bond(s) in bemzamides15 have been consequently realized. While the general applicability of such tandem reaction-based C-H arylation has been gradually validated, the high cost and limited variability of the AQ remain as issues requiring further improvement.16 Based on our sustaining efforts in devising facile and practical C-H activation reactions, we report herein the first example of the OAP directed ortho-arylation of the Ar-H bond(s) in the in situ generated benzamides via three-component reactions of o-aminophenols, benzoyl chlorides and aryl iodides. The o-aminophenols act as the DG precursors in the reactions which display advantages not only in the quite easy availability and low cost, but also in the direct utility without any prior elaboration as well as

the easy variation in substructure for the synthesis of products containing diverse OAP fragments. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION To begin the work, the reaction of OAP (1a), benzoyl chloride (2a) and p-methoxy iodobenzene (3a) was tentatively run in the presence of Pd(OAc)2 and K2CO3 in heating toluene, from which fair yield of the C-H arylated product 4a was successfully observed with different catalyst loading (entries 1-3, Table 1). Subsequent efforts in employing different palladium reagents did not lead to the improvement in the yield of 4a (entries 4-7, Table 1). Altering the base additive of different properties gave no better result, either (entries 8-12, Table 1). Notably, increasing the amount of K2CO3 from 2 equiv. to 4 equiv. enabled the production of 4a with evidently higher yield (entries 13-15, Table 1), which could be ascribed to the extra base consumption in promoting the in situ amidation between 1a and 2a. Interestingly, further investigation in screening the reaction medium using solvents such as p-xylene, dioxane, DCM, DMSO and MeCN proved that MeCN was a good medium for the C-H activation reaction by affording 4a with even enhanced yield (entries 16-20, Table 1).

different aryl iodides were examined. As showing in Table 2, this double C-H arylation reaction displayed broad tolerance to both the benzoyl chloride and aryl idodide components. While conventional functional groups with both electron withdrawing and donating property in the substrates smoothly took part in the synthesis, the entry employing strong electron withdrawing group such nitro functionalized aryl iodide was found to give corresponding product (4k, Table 2) with slightly lower yield, all other entries provided the double arylated benzamides 4 with excellent yield, demonstrating the high efficiency of OAP as DG in this double C-H arylation reaction. Notably, the X-ray single crystal diffraction on 4b was conducted to confirm the products structure on the basis of other spectral analysis (see Fig. S1 in the SI for the ORTEP structure).17 Further efforts in individual experiment examining other

In subsequent investigation on the substrate scope, the reactions employing benzoyl chlorides containing ortho- and meta-substitutent which resulted in the presence of two different ortho-C-H bonds were then performed. As expected, the steric effect produced by the substituent induced the reaction to selectively give single C-H arylated products 5. As outlined in Table 3, benzoyl chlorides with ortho- or meta-methyl group reacted with iodobenzenes containing alkyl, alkoxyl, halogen and nitro substitution to provide products 5 all with excellent yield via the direct three-component operation.

The synthesis of all products 4 and 5 clearly defined the general applicability of the OAP in assisting the benzamide ortho-C-H arylation reaction as DG. However, besides revealing the utility of this useful new DG, another notable advantage of the present work was the simple operation by directly subjecting three reactants. To verify the other important feature of the three-component reaction in generating product diversity, the synthesis to products of type 4 by using different o-aminophenols were then run under the standard reaction conditions. Delightfully, the brief examination on the reactions afforded the expected products 4w-4z with also excellent yields (Scheme 1). Whilst providing the rapid synthetic route to diverse products, the successfully execution of these three-component reactions also demonstrated their potential application in rapidly screening the efficient DG via simple variation in the substructure of the DG precursors.

Scheme 1 Brief scope of o-aminophenols in the C-H arylation

To demonstrate the function of the hydroxyl group in OAP, a control experiment employing aniline as alternative amine substrate to reaction with benozyl chloride and iodobenzene was conducted under the standard condition. No expect C-H arylated product was observed in this experiment (Eq 1), implying that the hydroxyl group in OAP was indispensable for the Pd-catalyzed reaction by acting as chelating site. In

addition, the KIE experiment employing equal amount of 2a and 2a-d5 to react with 1a and 3a provided the product 4a and corresponding deuterium labelled product 4a-d3, with the ratio of 4.3 :1 (Eq 2), suggesting that C-H arylation might be a rate determining step. H

In term of the reaction mechanism, the bidentate feature of OAP indicates that the C-H activation process takes place through similar states as those ones in the directed arylation using analogous bidentate DG.6d As depicted in Scheme 2, the first step of the three-component reaction is the base promoted formation of benzamide 6 from benzoyl chloride and o-aminophenol. The Pd(OAc)2 then incorporates 6 to give Pd complex A with the assistance of K2CO3 wherein the ligand may be OAc-, the reaction medium or the heteroatom in substrate, and A can be further converted to complex B via the intramolecular C-H palladation. The oxidative addition of aryl iodide to B leads to the formation of another Pd complex C which undergoes subsequent reductive elimination to form o-arylated Pd species D. The decomposition of D to the Pd(II) catalyst allows the next round C-H arylation process and give simultaneously the single arylated product 5. When another reactive C-H bond

presents, the double arylated product 4 can be afforded via the repeated catalytic cycle.

Scheme 2 The plausible reaction mechanism

CONCLUSION In conclusion, we have identified o-aminophenol as a highly efficient DG precursor enabling the directed ortho-C-H arylation of in situ generated benzamides in straightforward three-component reactions of benzoyl chlorides, o-aminophenols and aryl iodides. The present work discloses not only the low cost and simple OAP as a practical new bidentate DG, but also the step efficient three-component one-pot C-H activation protocol in the synthesis of highly diversified products.

General information All chemicals and solvents used in the experiments were obtained from commercial sources and used directly without further treatment. The 1H and

13

C NMR were

recorded in 400 MHz apparatus using CDCl3 or DMSO-d6 as solvent. The frequencies for 1H NMR and

13

C NMR test are 400 MHz and 100 MHz, respectively. The

chemical shifts were reported in ppm using TMS as internal standard. HRMS results were tested under ESI model in an MS spectrometer equipped with TOF analyzer. The melting points were tested in a X-4A instrument without correcting temperature. General procedure for the synthesis of benzamides 4 and 5 In a 25 mL round bottom flask equipped with a condenser were located o-aminophenol 1 (0.3 mmol), acyl chloride 2 (0.3 mmol), iodobenzene 3 (0.9 mmol in the synthesis of 4)/(0.45 mmol in the synthesis of 5), Pd(OAc)2 (0.015 mmol), K2CO3 (1.2 mmol) and CH3CN (2 mL). The mixture was refluxed at 82 oC (external heating at 90 oC) for 12 h. Upon completion (TCL), the vessel was allowed to cool down to room temperature, and 10 mL water was added. The heterogeneous mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3 ×10 mL). The combined organic phase was dried over Na2SO4. After filtration, the acquired solution was collected and the solvent was removed at reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give pure products by using mixed petroleum ether and ethyl acetate (VPET: VEA = 10:1).
