Table 6. Oxidative Coupling of Arenes and Aryl Silanes Catalyzed by [AuI2(Me2dazdt)]I3 (1a) and [AuBr2(Me2dazdt)]IBr2 (2a)a.
Reactions were carried out using conditions optimized using DoE: [Au] = 1 mol %; [arene] = 0.345 M, and [aryl silane] = 0.23 M; r.t.
Reported yields are of the purified isolated product after flash column chromatography and are the average of three experiments.
Yields for reactions catalyzed by (Ph3P)AuOTs (longer reaction time of 30 h) are taken from the literature.33
Product is isolated as a single regioisomer.
6.6:1.0 ratio of meta/ortho isomers.
4.1:1 ratio of para/ortho isomers.
