Abstract

Reaction conditions for the Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling of unprotected halopurine nucleosides with arylboronic acids in aqueous media were investigated. A series of arylated purine nucleosides was prepared in water without an organic cosolvent, using either Pd(PPh₃)₄ or Pd(OAc)₂/TPPTS as the catalyst.     

Synthesis of 8‐Oxoberbines and Related Benzolactams by Pd(OAc)2‐Catalyzed Direct Aromatic Carbonylation

A variety of alkoxy‐substituted benzolactams with a berbine or yohimbane skeleton were prepared from 1‐benzyl‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroisoquinolines or 1‐benzyl‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydro‐β‐carbolines by a phosphine‐free Pd(II)‐catalyzed direct aromatic carbonylation in a Pd(OAc)₂‐Cu(OAc)₂ catalytic system. The site selectivity was compared with that of the carbonylation with Pd(OAc)₂ or Pd(OAc)₂·2 PPh₃, respectively.

A highly selective Pd/Cu‐cocatalyzed aerobic oxidative carbonylative homocoupling of arylboronic acids has been developed. This method employs a simple catalytic system, readily available boronic acids as the substrates, molecular oxygen as the oxidant, and 1 atm of CO/O₂, which makes this method practical for further applications.

在催化体系可回收和无配体条件下溴化四丁基铵中钯催化卤代芳烃与芳基硼酸的Suzuki-Miyaura交叉偶联反应

我们发展一种在催化体系可回收和无配体条件下溴化四丁基铵（TBAB）中钯催化卤代芳烃与芳基硼酸的Suzuki-Miyaura交叉偶联反应方法。我们发现水的量对反应有很大的影响。当水的用量为1 %（质量比）时,反应的结果最好。在3 mol%的醋酸钯和1.5 g的TBAB（含1%的水）,一系列卤代芳烃与芳基硼酸的顺利地发生Suzuki-Miyaura交叉偶联反应,得到中等及良好的产率。而且在溴代芳烃和活泼的氯代芳烃的交叉反应中,Pd(OAc)2/TBAB催化体系可以回收重复使用多次,并且催化活性基本不变。     

Synthesis of α‐(Fluorophenyl)pyridine by Palladium‐Catalyzed Cross‐Coupling Reaction

A series of α‐(fluoro‐substituted phenyl)pyridines have been synthesized by means of a palladium‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reaction between fluoro‐substituted phenylboronic acid and 2‐bromopyridine or its derivatives. The reactivities of the phenylboronic acids containing di‐ and tri‐fluoro substituents with α‐pyridyl bromide were investigated in different catalyst systems. Unsuccessful results were observed in the Pd/C and PPh₃ catalyst system due to phenylboronic acid containing electron‐withdrawing F atom(s). For the catalyst system of Pd(OAc)₂/PPh₃, the reactions gave moderate yields of 55% –80%, meanwhile, affording 10% –20% of dimerisation (self‐coupling) by‐products, but trace products were obtained in coupling with 2,4‐difluorophenylboronic acids because of steric hinderance. Pd(PPh₃)₄ was more reactive for boronic acids with sterically hindering F atom(s), and the coupling reactions gave good yields of 90% and 91% without any self‐coupling by‐product.

A one‐step synthesis of symmetric biaryls is reported under very mild conditions via the homocoupling reaction of substituted arylboronic acids using an air‐ and moisture‐stable 4‐aminoantipyrine–Pd(II) complex as catalyst. The reaction is conducted at a low catalyst loading of 0.1 mol% at room temperature in methanol in the presence of K₂CO₃ as the base and KMnO₄ as the oxidant. The catalytic methodology is shown to be compatible with diverse functional groups and affords the desired biphenyls in good to excellent yields. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A stable and highly efficient NiCl2(PPh₃)₂/CuI/PEG‐400/H₂O catalytic system for the Sonogashira reaction has been developed. In the presence of NiCl₂(PPh₃)₂ and CuI, the coupling reaction of aryl iodides with terminal alkynes was carried out smoothly in a mixture of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG‐400) and water at 100°C with K₂CO₃ as base to afford a variety of arylacetylenes in good to excellent yields. The isolation of the products was readily performed by extraction with petroleum ether, and the NiCl₂(PPh₃)₂/CuI/PEG‐400/H₂O system could be easily recycled and reused six times without significant loss of catalytic activity. Our system not only avoids the use of easily volatile organic solvents but also solves the basic problem of catalyst reuse. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Indolylbenzimidazole‐based ligands catalyze the coupling of arylboronic acids with aryl halides

A novel class of compounds bearing indole and benzimidazole rings was designed and easily synthesized from 2‐indolecarboxylic acid and o‐phenylenediamine. The catalytic system derived from a 2‐indolylbenzimidazole‐based ligand and Pd(OAc)₂ in situ could lead to complete conversion of aryl bromides at 0.5 mol% Pd loading under mild reaction conditions. In the presence of a catalyst, sterically hindered biaryls were selectively generated in excellent yields by adjusting reaction parameters through the coupling of arylboronic acids with aryl halides. The efficiency of this reaction was demonstrated by its compatibility with various functional groups.     

A carrier-free and recyclable protocol for the cross-coupling of terminal alkynes with arylboronic acids in H2O/TBAB

A new and recyclable protocol was developed for Pd(OAc)₂-catalyzed the cross-coupling reaction of terminal alkynes with arylboronic acids using environmentally friendly H₂O/TBAB as reaction medium. A series of cross-coupling products containing internal acetylenic bond can be obtained with good selectivity and yield. The Pd(OAc)₂/H₂O/TBAB system was stable in the Sonogashira-type cross-coupling reaction and could be used at least three cycles without considerable decrease in catalytic performance. The results suggest that the unsupported and recyclable systems can be extended to the other realm of CC bond formation in synthetic organic chemistry.     

Solvent‐Free,Palladium‐Catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura Cross‐Couplings of Aryl Chlorides with Arylboronic Acids

Pd(MeCN)₂Cl₂/PCy₃ was found to be an efficient catalytic system for the Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐couplings of aryl chlorides with arylboronic acids under solvent‐free conditions. Furthermore, the presence of the conventional solvents had deleterious effect on the reaction. In the presence of Pd(MeCN)₂Cl₂, PCy₃, and TBAF (tetra‐n‐butylammonium fluoride), a number of aryl chlorides including heteroaryl chlorides were coupled with arylboronic acids or heteroarylboronic acids smoothly to afford the corresponding products in moderate to excellent yields.

In the presence of Pd(OAc)2 and DABCO, coupling of aryl halides with arylboronic acids was carried out smoothly to afford good to excellent yields and high turnover numbers (TONs) (the maximal TONs were up to 960,000 for the reaction of 1-iodo-4-nitrobenzene with phenylboronic acid) using PEG-400 as the solvent. Moreover, the Pd(OAc)2/DABCO/PEG-400 system could be recycled and reused five times without any loss of catalytic activity for aryl iodides and bromides.

The activity of [Pd(C₆H₄CH₂NH₂‐κ²‐C‐N)PPh₃MOBPPY]OTf complex, A (MOBPPY = 4‐methoxybenzoylmethylenetriphenylphosphoraneylide) was investigated in the homocoupling reaction of a vast range of aryl halides under both conventional and microwave irradiation conditions and their results were compared. The complex was active and showed high efficiency in the formation of new C‐C bonds. The yields were excellent using a catalytic amount of [Pd(C₆H₄CH₂NH₂‐κ²‐C‐N)PPh₃MOBPPY]OTf complex in N, N‐dimethylformamide at 120 °C. In comparison to conventional heating conditions, the reactions under microwave irradiation gave higher yields in shorter reaction times. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
