3-CHLORO-4-IODOBENZOTRIFLUORIDE

General procedure: An oven-dried Schlenk tube (A) equipped with a magnetic stir bar was charged with AgF (132.2 mg, 1.05 mmol, 3.5 equiv), sealed with a septum, and degassed by alternating vacuum evacuation and nitrogen backfill (three times) before freshly distilled EtCN (3 mL)was added. To the resulting suspension, which was precooled to –78 °C (dry ice–acetone bath), was added TMSCFGeneral procedure: In a 4 mL screw-cap vial, 0.5 mmol of corresponding iodoarenecompound, 1.5 equiv of phenylacetylene or propargyl alcohol, 0.005 equiv PdCl2(PPh3)2, and 0.8 mL of ionic liquid weremixed and stirred at 55 C for 3 h. After cooling, the mixturewas partitioned between 5 mL of water and 5 mL of pentane.After separation, the aqueous phase was extracted subsequentlywith 2 × 5 mL of pentane. The combined organic phase waswashed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and the solventwas evaporated under reduced pressure (ca. 10 mmHg). Theoily residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel(Merck Silicagel 60 (0.063-0.200 mm) for column chromatography(70-230 mesh ASTM)) eluted with n-pentane/EtOAc.The purity of the isolated products was >98%. The detailed experimentalprocedure as well as the characterization of isolatedcompounds are provided in Supporting Information File 1.Step A: Diboron pinacol ester (329.61mg, 1.30mmol, 1.10eq) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(73.53mg, 59.09umol, 0.05eq) were added to a solution of compound 10 (200.00mg, 1.18mmol, 1.00eq) in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran(5.00mL), the reaction solution was purged three times with nitrogen and stirred at 70C under nitrogenatmosphere for 5 hours. After the reaction solution was cooled to 0C, compound 5 (285.58mg, 945.27umol, 0.80eq), cesium carbonate (769.97mg, 2.36mmol, 2.00eq), 0.4mL water, 5mL 2-methyltetrahydrofuran and dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (41.47mg, 59.08umol, 0.05eq) were added, then the reaction solution was purged three timeswith nitrogen and stirred at 20C under nitrogen atmosphere for 12 hours. Then General procedure: A mixture of 2-(3, 5-dichloro-pyridin-4-yl)-7-ethynyl-4, 4-dimethyl-1, 4-dihydro-chromeno[3, 4-d] imidazole 19a (0.1 g, 0.270 mmol), tetrabutylammonium fluoride (0.255 g, 0.810 mmol), dichlorobis- (triphenylphosphine)palladium (II) (15 mg, 0.021 mmol), 1-chloro-2-iodo-4-trifluoromethyl-benzene (0.125 g, 0.405 mmol) was heated in dry-DMSO (4.0 mL) at 80 C for 4-6 h. The reaction mass was quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by flash chromatography to afford compound 20a (0.06 g, 42%) as brown solid.General procedure: For a typical reaction, a Vapourtec 2R+ Series was used as the platform with a Vapourtec Gas/Liquid Membrane Reactor to load the carbon monoxide. The HPLC pump were both set at 0.125 mL/min, temperature of the reactor at 110 C, pressure of CO at 15 bar with a back pressure regulator of 250 psi (17.24 bar). The system was left running for 2 h to reach steady state after which time the flow streams were switched to pass from the loops where the substrates and catalysts were loaded. The first loop (5 mL) was filled with a solution of palladium acetate (20 mg, 0.08 mmol), triphenylphosphine (48 mg, 0.168 mmol) in 6 mL of 1, 4-dioxane while the second loop (5 mL) was filled with a solution made from the ortho-substituted iodoarene substrate (1.68 mmol), triethylamine (0.272 g, 0.374 mL, 2.69 mmol) and water (0.505 g, 28 mmol) in 5.8 mL of 1, 4-dioxane. An Omnifit column filled with 1.71 cm3 (r = 0.33 cm, h = 5.00 cm) of cotton was positioned just before the back pressure regulator to trap any particulate matter formed to avoid blocking of the back pressure regulator. After the substrates were passed through the system, the outlet of the flow stream was directed into a receptacle where the excess carbon monoxide gas was vented off in the fume cupboard. The reaction mixture was then evaporated to dryness, ethyl acetate (25 mL) and sodium carbonate solution (2 M, 10 mL) were added and transferred to a separating funnel. After collecting the aqueous layer, the organic layer was extracted with sodium carbonate solution (2 M, 2 × 10 mL). The combined aqueous layers were acidified by the addition of 2 M HCl solution which was then extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x 25 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, and the solvent evaporated under vacuum to give the crude product as a solid. The crude product was then recrystallised from the appropriate solvent.
