Article Synopsis
- Cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reactions are highlighted as efficient methods for creating C-C bonds, with a recent focus on the selective reaction between naphthalene and fluorobenzene at the β-position.
- The unique selectivity is driven by the reductive elimination process, influenced by the steric effects of the naphthyl group and the electron-withdrawing nature of fluorobenzene.
- The findings indicate that regioselectivity in C-H functionalization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) relies on the reductive elimination rather than the initial C-H cleavage, with variations in selectivity depending on the specific PAH structure.
A Pd-catalysed cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction introduced two polyfluoroarenes into simple polyaromatic hydrocarbons at sterically favourable positions. An investigation of the reaction mechanism revealed that the unique regioselectivity was determined by the reductive elimination step rather than the C-H bond cleavage step.
