The arylation of C-H bonds to generate heteroaryl-aryl (Het-Ar) and arylated quinone (Quin-Ar) compounds has received great attention to achieve sustainable goals in synthetic chem. Despite significant advances, arylation of a broad range of Het-Ar and Quin-Ar derivatives remains a challenging task. Herein, a variety of heterocycles are arylated by using arylboronic acids in the presence of catalytic amounts of inexpensive Fe(NO3)3. The C-arylated quinone compounds can be prepared by reacting arylboronic acids with either quinone or hydroquinone. The present method is operationally simple, scalable, does not require prefunctionalization of the heterocycle or quinone, and can tolerate a wide variety of functional groups in the coupling partners. These qualities are expected to render this method attractive for academic and industrial use. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2,3-Dimethoxy-5-methylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (cas: 605-94-7COA of Formula: C9H10O4).
2,3-Dimethoxy-5-methylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (cas: 605-94-7) belongs to ethers. Relative to alcohols, ethers are generally less dense, are less soluble in water, and have lower boiling points. They are relatively unreactive. Electron-deficient reagents are also stabilized by ethers. For example, borane (BH3) is a useful reagent for making alcohols. Pure borane exists as its dimer, diborane (B2H6), a toxic gas that is inconvenient and hazardous to use. Borane forms stable complexes with ethers, however, and it is often supplied and used as its liquid complex with tetrahydrofuran (THF).COA of Formula: C9H10O4
