Zhang, Bo-Sheng published the artcileReductive Coupling of Aryl Halides via C-H Activation of Indene, Recommanded Product: 4,4′-Dimethyldiphenyl, the publication is Chinese Journal of Chemistry (2021), 39(6), 1573-1579, database is CAplus.
A reductive coupling reaction with indene, a non-heteroatom olefin used as a reducing agent. The scope of the substrate was wide. The homo-coupling, cross-coupling, and synthesis of 12 and 14-membered rings were realized. The control experiment, indene-product curve and d. functional theory calculations showed that the ¦Ç3-palladium indene intermediate was formed by C-H activation in the presence of cesium carbonate. The final product was obtained through a Pd (IV) intermediate or aryl ligand exchange. In addition, it was excluded the formation of palladium anion (Pd(0)–) intermediates.
