Palladium-catalyzed hydroarylation of alkynes with arylboronic acids

Reaction of symmetrical and unsymmetrical alkynes with arylboronic acids, using PdCl₂ as catalyst source and i-Pr₂NPPh₂ as ligand, afforded trisubstituted alkenes with regioselectivity in good to excellent yields without a common additional acetic acid. Its efficiency has been demonstrated by its good functional groups, high yield and crowded substrates.     

Palladium-catalyzed hydroarylation of alkynes with arenediazonium salts

The palladium-catalyzed hydroarylation of arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates with alkynes in the presence of triphenylsilane affords stereoselectively hydroarylation products in moderate to high yields. The reaction tolerates a variety of substituents including keto, ester, cyano, and nitro groups and can be performed as a one-pot procedure generating the arenediazonium salt in situ. With ethyl phenylpropynoate as the starting alkyne, the hydroarylation affords ethyl (Z)-2-arylcinnamates stereo- and regioselectively.     

Palladium-catalyzed phosphinylthiolation of terminal alkynes

Phosphinylthiolation of terminal alkynes with Ph₂P(O)SBu or a related compound proceeds in the presence of a palladium–PEt₃ catalyst system. Activity and stereoselectivity are highly dependent on the nature of solvent, ethylbenzene, and n-hexanol (or t-amyl alcohol) being E- and Z-selective, respectively.     

Palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling of organic tellurides with alkynes

Alkyl aryl tellurides and a tellurol ester were used as coupling partners in Pd(0)-catalyzed Sonogashira reactions. Microwave-assisted reactions of alkyl aryl tellurides with alkynes in the presence of CuI and catalytic amounts of Pd(PPh₃)₄ produced alkynyl arenes. Similarly, a tellurol ester on reaction with alkynes afforded alkynyl phenyl ketones in the presence of CuI and a catalytic amount of Pd(PPh₃)₄ at room temperature.     

Palladium-catalyzed hydrophosphinylation of alkenes and alkynes

Various palladium catalysts promote the addition of hypophosphorous derivatives ROP(O)H(2) to alkenes and alkynes in good yields and under mild conditions. Particularly, Cl(2)Pd(PPh(3))(2)/2 MeLi, and Pd(2)dba(3)/xantphos allow for phosphorus-carbon bond formation instead of transfer hydrogenation. Commercial aqueous solutions of hypophosphorous acid can be employed successfully at ambient temperature. With styrene and terminal alkynes, the regioselectivity (linear versus branched products) can be controlled to some extent with the catalytic system employed. The methodology considerably extends upon previous routes for the preparation of H-phosphinic acids and other organophosphorus compounds.     

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of aryl trimethoxysilanes with terminal alkynes

[reaction: see text] A diastereoselective coupling of propargylic oxiranes with terminal alkynes has been developed with use of a palladium catalyst. The stereochemistries of the resulting 4-alkynyl-substituted 2,3-allenols have been altered depending on the palladium catalyst. An optically active anti-substituted allene was synthesized from the reaction of an enantiomerically enriched propargylic oxirane without loss of chirality.

In an aqueous solution of acetic acid, PdCl2(PPh3)2 showed high catalytic activity for the hydrophenylation of both terminal and internal alkynes with sodium tetraphenylborate (NaBPh4) under mild conditions, affording phenyl alkenes in moderate to excellent yields.     

Palladium-catalyzed benzannulation from alkynes and allylic compounds

Various alkynes reacted with allyl tosylates in the presence of palladium catalysts, giving polysubstituted benzenes with good to high regioselectivity. Pentasubstituted and trisubstituted benzenes were readily prepared by reaction of internal alkynes and terminal alkynes, respectively. The combination of allyl alcohols and p-toluenesulfonic anhydride could be utilized in place of isolated allyl tosylates. The cyclization of diynes with allyl tosylate afforded bicyclic compounds containing an aromatic ring.     

Palladium-catalyzed regio- and stereoselective hydrosilylation of electron-deficient alkynes

Highly regio- and stereoselective hydrosilylation applicable to a broad range of electron-deficient alkynes has been established using palladium catalysis. The synthetic utility of the method has been demonstrated by further transformations of α-silylalkenes, particularly Hiyama coupling and stereoinverting iododesilylation followed by Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, which enables stereodivergent syntheses of α-arylenoates.     

Palladium-catalyzed oxidative alkynylation of heterocycles with terminal alkynes under air conditions

Pd-Catalyzed oxidative alkynylation of azoles with terminal alkynes was developed via simultaneous activation of both heterocyclic sp(2) C-H and alkynyl sp C-H bonds. The choice of palladium catalyst source and external base resulted in being important factors for performing the reaction with high efficiency and selectivity, and air was successfully utilized as an environmental oxidant in the present alkynylation procedure.     

Palladium-catalyzed C-CN activation for intramolecular cyanoesterification of alkynes

Conditions for the C-CN activation and intramolecular cyanoesterification of alkynes to provide butenolides in good to excellent yields are presented. Pd catalysts, high temperatures/short reaction times (microwave irradiation), and Lewis basic solvents minimized competitive decarbonylation. Less sterically encumbered, electron-rich alkynes underwent cyanoesterification with greater ease compared to sterically encumbered, electron-deficient alkynes. The results led to the hypothesis that migratory insertion of the alkyne, rather than C-CN activation, might be the product-determining step.     

Palladium-catalyzed conjugate addition of terminal alkynes to enones
