A Pd-catalyzed high regioselective diarylation of 9-allyl-9H-
purine via chelation-assisted Heck reaction is developed. There
were two different types of b-H in the allyl substrate, while the
two aryl groups are exclusively introduced to the terminal of the
olefins.
The Pd-catalyzed Heck reaction of aryl or alkenyl halides or triflates
with alkenes has been developed into a powerful tool for the forma-
tion of C–C bonds.1 Recently, different versions of directing groups
such as organic phosphine,2 tertiary amine,3 pyridine,4 sulfoxide5 and
sulfone6 have been exploited for directing metal-catalyzed Heck
reactions with varying degrees of success (eqn. (1), Scheme 1).7 Those
vinyl ethers8 bearing a directing group are relatively simple since their
structures bear only one type of b-H except for a few cases.4b As a
consequence, challenges with elaborated olefins bearing two types of
b-H lie ahead with respect to regioselectivity and catalytic efficiency.
Furthermore, all those chelation-assisted Pd-catalyzed Heck reac-
tions are based on the classical Pd(0)/Pd(II) catalyst cycle2–7 in the
presence of organic ligand. As such, chelation-assisted Pd-catalyzed
Heck reaction via Pd(II)/Pd(IV) catalyst cycle under an additional
ligand-free condition has not been previously realized.
In the last decade, directed C–H bond activation has emerged as a
versatile strategy for constructing C–heteroatom bonds with a proper
choice of directing group and catalytic system.9 Purine derivatives are
of great importance in medicinal chemistry since they display a broad
spectrum antiviral activity, antimycobacterial activity and biological
activity.10 Purine contains four nitrogen atoms and belongs to a
special class of aromatic heterocycles. We envisioned that purine
could serve as an efficient directing group for the Pd-catalyzed Heck
reaction. Daugulis’ group has reported a series of directed Pd-
catalyzed arylation reactions with a AgOAc/AcOH system.11 Despite
the reported long reaction time, we considered that this catalytic
system might serve as a good partner of the purine-assisted
Pd-catalyzed Heck reaction. As part of our ongoing course of study
on the modification of purine analogues,12herein, a chelation-assisted
Pd-catalyzed high regioselective diarylation reaction of olefins via a
possible Pd(II)/Pd(IV) catalyst cycle is described (eqn (2), Scheme 1).
In comparison to related chelation-assisted Pd-catalyzed Heck
reactions,2–6 the purine directing group is more challenging for its
fused ring structure and possessing multiple nitrogen atoms, and this
diarylation method presumably occurs by a distinct Pd(II)/Pd(IV)
mechanism, which is quite different from a classical Pd(0)/Pd(II)
catalyst cycle in the presence of an organic ligand. Notably, the high
regioselective diarylation and high catalytic efficiency have been
achieved with the choice of purine as a directing group.
We initially conducted our experiment by treating 9-allyl-6-
methoxyl purine (1) with 5 mol % Pd(OAc)2 in the presence of
3.0 equiv. of PhI and 2.0 equiv. of AgOAc in acetic acid at 120 uC for
4.5 h. To our delight, the desired diarylated product 1aa was isolated
in 93% yield (entry 1, Table 1). Remarkably, lowering the catalyst
loading to 3 mol % could also efficiently catalyze the phenylation of
1 to afford 1aa in 88% isolated yield (entry 2) and lowering the
reaction temperature did not bring about a significant reduction of
1aa (entry 3). Further studies showed that catalytic amount of other
Pd(II) sources such as PdCl2, PdCl2(Ph3P)2 could also efficiently
catalyze the phenylation reaction (entries 4–5). Unfortunately, PhBr
was unsuitable for this transformation (entries 6 and 7), which might
be due to the strong dissociation energy of the Ph–Br bond.
With the optimized conditions in hand, a variety of aryl iodides
were further explored. As shown in Table 2, the non-stepwise one-
pot Heck double arylation reactions proceeded smoothly despite two

different aryl iodides being simultaneously present in the reaction
mixture (entries 2, 3, 6 and 9). Moreover, aryl iodides bearing
either an electron-withdrawing group (i.e. p-COOEt, o-COOMe)
(entries 8 and 12) or an electron-donating group (i.e. p-Me, p-MeO)
(entries 2–4, 7, and 9–11) could serve as good partners of the purine-
assisted Heck arylation reaction. Although the E/Z selectivity was
very poor in the one-pot competitive reaction, the Heck diarylation
reaction proved to be mild and highly efficient. Notably, the reaction
regiospecifically occurred on the terminal of the olefins even though
there were two different types of b-H in the substrates.
Finally, purine as a directing group for Pd-catalyzed Heck reaction
was further tested under the classical catalytic system (Scheme 2).
We were pleased to find that the corresponding product 1aa was
obtained in acceptable to good yields depending on different ligands.
However, the use of dppp or dppf was not as good as Ph3P, which
might be due to their poor steric flexibility during binding of the
Pd atom.
In summary, a Pd-catalyzed high regioselective diarylation of
9-allyl-9H-purine via chelation-assisted Heck reaction is described.
This method bears four important features: 1) purine as a novel
chelate compound to direct arylation, 2) the additional ligand-free
Pd(II)/Pd(IV) catalyst cycle differing from classical Heck reaction,
3) diarylation reaction does not require an inert atmosphere, and
4) high regioselective diarylation though two different types of b-H
which exist in the allyl substrate. Further efforts directed to the
detailed mechanism are under way in our laboratory.
