Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of aryl and heteroaryl pinacol boronates for the synthesis of 2-substituted pyrimidines

Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction with 2-heteroarylboronic acids is generally challenging due to these acids easy decomposition. To overcome this problem, we developed a coupling method that uses 2-heteroaryl pinacol boronates in the presence of 1.0 mol % Pd(OAc)₂ and 2.0 mol % S-Phos with 4 equiv amount of LiOH in dioxane and H₂O at 80 °C for 30 min. This developed method allowed for the synthesis of a wide variety of 2-heteroaryl pyrimidines from 2-chloropyrimidyl derivatives in high yields, and is also useful in the preparation of various biaryl derivatives from heteroaryl chlorides.     

Efficient synthesis of neurotrophic honokiol using Suzuki–Miyaura reactions

Efficient synthesis of honokiol (1) was accomplished using two kinds of Suzuki–Miyaura reactions. The first Suzuki–Miyaura reaction was employed to couple 2-bromophenol (6) with 4-hydroxyphenylboronic acid (5), giving rise to biphenol 4, and the second coupling was used to introduce allyl groups at 5- and 3′-positions of honokiol. The total synthesis of 1 was completed in 74% yield over five steps from 6, or in 83% yield over four steps from biphenol 4.     

Catalysis of the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction in water by heteroannular cyclopalladated ferrocenylimine complexes

Catalytic studies on the air- and moisture-stable triphenylphosphine (PPh₃) adducts of heteroannular cyclopalladated ferrocenylimines [PdCl{C₅H₄FeC₅H₄CHRN=CHC₄H₃X}(Ph₃P)] (R = H, CH₃; X = S, O) indicate that they are all effective catalysts for the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction of activated aryl bromides with phenylboronic acid in water under air atmosphere. Typically, using 1 mol‰ of catalyst in the presence of 1.2 equivalents of K₃PO₄ as base in water at 100 °C provided the corresponding biaryls in good to excellent yields. Meanwhile, the structure of [PdCl{C₅H₄FeC₅H₄CH(CH₃)N=CHC₄H₃S}(PPh₃)] has been established by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique.

Few unexpected results from a Suzuki–Miyaura reaction

In the course of the synthesis of original anti-infectious compounds we focused on the palladium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura aryl–aryl coupling reaction between 2-(3-ethoxy-5-iodo-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine and phenylboronic acid. A study of the reaction products obtained under different conditions (various ligands and solvents), not only provided us with insights to optimize this reaction but also with few side compounds, resulting from CH activation, along with the unexpected bis(3-ethoxy-1-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)palladium. Stochiometric experiments with this remarkably stable biscyclopalladated reagent and phenylhalides pointed out the occurrence of aryl–aryl coupling, possibly via palladium IV intermediates.

Flow synthesis of annulated 5-aryl-substituted pyridines by tandem intramolecular inverse-electron-demand hetero-/retro-Diels–Alder reaction

5-Aryl-substituted annulated pyridines can be accessed directly from the corresponding acetylene substituted pyrimidines through an intramolecular inverse-electron-demand hetero-/retro-Diels–Alder (ihDA/rDA) reaction cascade carried out in continuous flow. Exploiting this new process, a series of cycloalka[c]pyridines that represent useful building blocks for medicinal chemistry were prepared in good to excellent yields with short processing times (<45 min). Importantly, utilizing the ability to superheat solvents in flow permits the replacement of typically employed high boiling solvents (e.g., nitrobenzene or chlorobenzene) with toluene.

The first general method for the Suzuki-type cross-coupling of phenols with aryl boronic acids using dichloroimidazolidinedione (DCID) as a new reagent is presented. In the presence of DCID and Pd/metal–organic framework (MOF), coupling of aryl boronic acids with a wide range of phenols, was carried out smoothly in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at reflux conditions to afford the cross-coupling products in good to excellent yields. The structures of all compounds were corroborated by ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR. A plausible mechanism for this type of reaction is proposed.

The reaction is tolerant of both electron-donating (EDG) and electron-withdrawing (EWG) groups on the aromatic ring and affords the corresponding C-arylglycals in good to excellent yields (68–97%). Additionally, the ketene acetal phosphate derived from 6-deoxy-3,4-di-O-benzyl-l-rhamnal also couples efficiently to yield C-arylglycals in excellent yields.

A general and highly efficient trifluoromethylated-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-based catalyst for the palladium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura reaction was reported. In the presence of the catalyst, reactions of non-activated aryl chlorides and triflates with aryl boronic acids occurred at room temperature with good to excellent yields (63–98%). In addition, catalysts generated from a combination of Pd(OAc)₂/imidazolium salt 6a is not only effective for the coupling of heteroaryl boronic acid with aryl halides and heteroaryl halides, but also efficient for coupling of other heteroaryl halides and heteroaryl boronic acids. Finally, the catalyst is highly effective for Suzuki–Miyaura reaction of aryl bromides and chlorides with 0.01–0.1 mol % loading if the temperature was raised at refluxed THF/H₂O.

Design,Synthesis and Characterization of Nickel-Functionalized Covalent Organic Framework NiCl@RIO-12 for Heterogeneous Suzuki–Miyaura Catalysis

A series of nickel-decorated covalent organic frameworks, NiCl@RIO-12, were prepared using the post-synthetic modification strategy, that is, by reacting NiCl₂ with pristine RIO-12 under alkaline conditions. Interestingly, they retained their crystallinity and the amount of nickel incorporated could be tuned from 3.6 to 25 wt % according to the reaction conditions. The incorporation of a higher amount of nickel in NiCl@RIO-12 consistently led to a lower Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area. Additionally, no agglomeration of nickel particles was found and a relatively homogeneous dispersion of nickel could be ascertained by SEM and TEM-EDS. The paramagnetic material exhibited promising catalytic activity in Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling under microwave heating. Thus, NiCl@RIO-12 notably demonstrated good thermal stability and its recyclability showed no substantial loss of activity after 3 cycles.     

A highly efficient memantine-modified palladium catalyst for Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction

A new simple Pd(memantine)₂Cl₂ complex was synthesized and characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and X-ray single crystal structure determination. The Suzuki–Miyaura reaction of aryl bromides catalyzed by Pd(memantine)₂Cl₂ complex was investigated in air with different temperature. The high turnover numbers of 650,000 have been obtained in the reaction of 4-bromonitrobenzene with phenylboronic acid at 80 °C. At room temperature, the complex also showed high activity for Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of aryl bromides with a wide range of functional groups under air, and the turnover number of up to 99,000 was achieved. The catalytic system also gives good yields toward the reaction of several heteroaryl bromides with thiophenylboronic acid.     

Carbohydrate-based phosphines as supporting ligand for palladium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction

Carbohydrate-based mono-phosphines (1 and 2) derived from glucose have been explored as supporting ligand for palladium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura reaction. The combination of phosphine to palladium in a ratio of 2:1 resulted in a longer-living system than that in a ratio of 1:1. Using K₂CO₃ as base, aryl bromides as well as active aryl chlorides can be coupled nearly quantitatively by 0.1–0.2 mol % of 1/Pd(OAc)₂ with 95–99% of isolated yields. The amount of the catalyst could be lowered to 0.01 mol % under the optimized condition with 80% yield at room temperature. The carbohydrate hydroxyl group in 1 was found to contribute to catalytic activity.
