Suzuki-miyaura cross-coupling of potassium dioxolanylethyltrifluoroborate and aryl/heteroaryl chlorides

A robust and efficient protocol for the introduction of the dioxolanylethyl moiety onto various aryl and heteroaryl halides has been developed, providing cross-coupling yields up to 93%. Copper-catalyzed borylation of 2-(2-bromoethyl)-1,3-dioxolane with bis(pinacolato)diboron followed by treatment with potassium bifluoride provides the key organotrifluoroborate reagent.

Integrated chemical process: One-pot aromatization of cyclic enones by the double elimination methodology

A variety of aromatic hydrocarbons bearing multiple alkyl substituents are accessible with perfect regiocontrol in a one-pot reaction starting from cyclo-hexenones and their aromatic analogues [Eq. (1)]. The present methodology can be further extended to the synthesis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The drawbacks encountered in the Friedel-Crafts reaction are resolved since the reaction proceeds under basic conditions.
