General description

4,5-Dibromo-2,7-di-tert-butyl-9,9-dimethylxanthene is a heterocyclic building block.

Application

4,5-Dibromo-2,7-di-tert-butyl-9,9-dimethylxanthene may be used as starting reagent for the synthesis of 4,5-(N,N′-bis-cyclohexylamino)-2,7-di-tert-butyl-9,9-dimethyl-xanthene and oligothiophene tweezer molecule bearing two quaterthiophene moieties.
4,5-Dibromo-2,7-di-tert-butyl-9,9-dimethylxanthene may be used in the synthesis of:
  • 2,7-di-tert-butyl-4,5-diiodo-9,9-dimethylxanthene
  • new NON-donor ligand, 4,5-bis(2,6-diisopropylanilino)-2,7-di-tert-butyl-9,9-dimethylxanthene
  • bis(diethylamino)xantphos, via one-pot metalation reaction and and quenching with bis(diethylamino)chlorophosphine

We report a rhodium catalyst that exhibits high reactivity for the hydroamination of primary aminoalkenes that are unbiased toward cyclization and that possess functional groups incompatible with more electrophilic hydroamination catalysts. The rhodium catalyst contains an unusual diaminophosphine ligand (L1)
