Résumé

The Catellani reaction has received substantial attention because it enables rapid multiple derivatization on aromatics. While using alkyl electrophiles to achieve ortho-alkylation was one of the earliest applications of the Catellani reaction, ipso-alkylation-terminated reactions with β-H-containing reactants has not been realized to date. Herein, we report alkylation-terminated Catellani reaction using alkyl carbagermatranes (abbreviated as alkyl-Ge) as nucleophiles. The reactivity of alkyl-Ge and alkyl-B(OH)

Combination of iPrGe, various aryl iodides and alkyl halides were tried, they failed to realize transmetalation and iPrGe was fully recovered, which also proves the sensitivity of steric hindrance in termination step.
Recently, there have been some new developments using ortho-substituted arylboronic acid as a terminating reagent, but they all have heteroatom-containing directing groups on the aryl substrates or electrophiles:

Using tetraethylgermanium instead of ethyl carbagermatrane, no target product was detected, which further highlights the importance of the nucleophilic nature of the nucleophiles.
