The synthesis of triarylmethanes via Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reactions between diarylmethyl 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzoates and aryl boronic acids is described. The system operates under mild conditions and has a broad substrate scope, including the coupling of diphenylmethanol derivatives that do not contain extended aromatic substituents. This is significant as these substrates, which result in the types of triarylmethane products that are prevalent in pharmaceuticals, have not previously been compatible with systems for diarylmethyl ester coupling. Also, the reaction can be performed stereospecifically to generate stereoinverted products. From DFT calculations, probably the oxidative addition of the diarylmethyl 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzoate substrate occurs via an SN2 pathway, which results in the inverted products. Mechanistic studies indicate that oxidative addition of the diarylmethyl 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzoate substrates to (IPr)Pd(0) results in the selective cleavage of the O-C(benzyl) bond in part because of a stabilizing η3-interaction between the benzyl ligand and Pd. This is in contrast to previously described Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reactions involving Ph esters, which involve selective cleavage of the C(acyl)-O bond, because there is no stabilizing η3-interaction. It is anticipated that this fundamental knowledge will aid the development of new catalytic systems, which use esters as electrophiles in cross-coupling reactions.
