摘要
The deuterium labeling has garnered significant interest in drug discovery due to its critical role on improving pharmacokinetic and metabolic properties.However,despite its pharmaceutical value,the general and rapid syntheses of aromatic scaffolds that contains deuterium remain an important yet elusive task.State-of-the-art approaches mainly relied on the transition metal-catalyzed C-H deuteration via the assistance of directing groups(DGs),which often suffered from over-deuteration and lengthy step counts required for installation and/or removal of DG.Herein,we report a generalizable synthetic linchpin strategy for the facile preparation of the ortho-deuterated aromatic core.Through capture of aryne-derived 1,3-zwitterion with heavy water,we synthesized an array of ortho-deuterated aryl sulfonium salts.These novel linchpins not only participated the transition metal catalyzed cross-coupling reaction as nucleophiles,but also served as aryl radical reservoirs under photochemical or electrochemical conditions,enabling facile and precise access to structurally diverse deuterated aromatics.Moreover,we have disclosed a novel EDA complex enabled direct arylation of phosphines under visible-light irradiation,further expanding the utility of our platform approach.
