Regioselectivity in C-H activation: reagent control in cyclometallation of 2-(1-naphthyl)-pyridine.

Kondrashov, Mikhail LU ; Provost, David and Wendt, Ola LU (2016) In Dalton Transactions 45(2). p.525-531
Abstract
2-(1-Naphthyl)-pyridine () possesses sp(2) C-H bonds in both the γ- and δ-positions and is therefore a suitable substrate for studying the cyclometallation selectivity with different reagents and conditions. Such selectivity studies are reported. Based on deuterium-exchange experiments it is concluded that cycloruthenation with RuCl2(p-cymene) dimer is reversible with kinetic and thermodynamic preference for γ-substitution. Electrophilic cycloborylation, on the other hand, shows unusual δ-substitution. The previously published cyclopalladation and cycloauration of the substrate was studied in detail and was shown to be irreversible; they proceed under kinetic control and give γ- and δ-substitution for palladium and gold, respectively.
