Cross-coupling reactions of (1-fluorovinyl)methydiphenylsilane(1) with aryl halides and aryl triflates

The cesium fluoride (CsF)-assisted cross-coupling reaction of (1-fluorovinyl)methyldiphenylsilane (1) with aryl halides and aryl triflates was examined. The reaction with aryl iodides smoothly proceeded to afford the corresponding (1-fluorovinyl)arenes in the presence of a catalytic amount of CuI and Pd(PPh(3))(4) in aprotic polar solvents such as DMF, DMI, DMA, and NMP in good yields. A variety of functional groups (nitro, ester, ketone, and ether) on the aromatic rings can be tolerated under these mild conditions. Aryl iodides are superior to aryl bromides as the coupling reaction partner. The cross-coupling reaction of 1 with aryl triflates instead of aryl halides was also accomplished in the presence of tetrabutylammonium iodide (n-Bu(4)NI) as the additive under similar conditions.

Transition-metal-free Suzuki-type coupling reactions: scope and limitations of the methodology

The scope and limitations of the transition-metal-free Suzuki-type coupling of aryl halides and arylboronic acids to form biaryls are presented. Confirmation that the reaction is indeed metal-free is presented. The effects of changing base, solvent, reaction temperature, phase-transfer catalyst, and substrate are shown and the implications of these results discussed in terms of their impact on the synthetic versatility of the methodology. The main findings are that the reaction works well for aryl bromides, water is necessary as a solvent for the reaction, the optimum temperature for the reaction is 150 degrees C, the reaction is best performed by using microwave promotion with the exception of an electron-poor aryl bromide example where conventional heating may be used, only limited boronic acids can be used as coupling partners, sodium carbonate is the best base for the reaction, tetrabutylammonium bromide proves to be the best phase-transfer catalyst for the reaction, the reaction is limited to couplings between aryl halides and aryl boronic acids with sp(2)-sp(3) couplings proving ineffective, and NaBPh(4) can be used in the place of phenylboronic acid as a phenylating agent.     

Preparation and palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl triethylammonium bis(catechol) silicates with aryl triflates

Pentavalent aryl and heteroaryl bis(catechol) silicates undergo palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling with aryl and heteroaryl triflates in the presence of a fluoride source in excellent yields. These solid, air-stable bis(catechol) silicates are prepared from a high-yielding displacement reaction between catechol and an aryl siloxane in the presence of an amine base. The cross-coupling reaction is tolerant of a wide range of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups. Several examples of di-ortho-substituted triflates are successfully coupled with these reagents.     

Synthesis of novel palladacycles and their application in Heck and Suzuki reactions under aerobic conditions

[reaction: see text] Design and synthesis of a novel family of furancarbothioamide-based palladacycles are reported herein. These palladacycles are thermally stable, not sensitive to air or moisture, and are applied effectively in the Heck reaction of aryl halides with terminal olefins and in the Suzuki reaction of aryl halides with arylboronic acids. These reactions were performed under aerobic conditions, leading to turnover numbers (TONs) up to 1 x 10(5).     

Synthesis and characterization of monodisperse oligofluorenes

An efficient synthesis of 9,9-bis(2-ethylhexyl)fluorene oligomers up to the heptamer is reported, with repetitive Suzuki and Yamamoto coupling reactions employed in the synthesis. The key steps for preparation of the essential intermediates include Pd-catalyzed transformation of aryl bromides to aryl boronic esters (Miyaura reaction) and the application of the much higher reactivity of aryl boronic esters over aryl bromides in the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with aryl diazonium salts. Variation of the UV/Vis absorption and photoluminescence characteristics with chain length is reported. Moreover, glass transition and liquid-crystal characteristics of the oligomers are described and compared with those of the polymer.     

Scope and Limitations of the s-Block Metal-Mediated Pudovik Reaction

The hydrophosphorylation of phenylacetylene with di(aryl)phosphane oxides Ar₂P(O)H (Pudovik reaction) yields E/Z-isomer mixtures of phenylethenyl-di(aryl)phosphane oxides ( 1 ). Alkali and alkaline-earth metal di(aryl)phosphinites have been studied as catalysts for this reaction with increasing activity for the heavier s-block metals. The Pudovik reaction can only be mediated for di(aryl)phosphane oxides whereas P-bound alkyl and alcoholate substituents impede the P−H addition across alkynes. The demanding mesityl group favors the single-hydrophosphorylated products 1-Ar whereas smaller aryl substituents lead to the double-hydrophosphorylated products 2-Ar . Polar solvents are beneficial for an effective addition. Increasing concentration of the reactants and the catalyst accelerates the Pudovik reaction. Whereas Mes₂P(O)H does not form the bis-phosphorylated product 2-Mes , activation of an ortho-methyl group and cyclization occurs yielding 2-benzyl-1-mesityl-5,7-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrophosphindole 1-oxide ( 3 ).     

Palladium‐Catalysed Direct Cross‐Coupling of Organolithium Reagents with Aryl and Vinyl Triflates

A palladium‐catalysed cross‐coupling of organolithium reagents with aryl and vinyl triflates is presented. The reaction proceeds at 50 or 70 °C with short reaction times, and the corresponding products are obtained with moderate to high yields, with a variety of alkyl and (hetero)aryl lithium reagents.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Poly(Aryl Ether-Bissulfone)s

A series of poly(aryl ether-bissulfone)s were synthesized from bis-phenols, 4,4′-bis(4-chlorophenylsulfonyl)biphenyl, and 4,4′-bis(4-fluorophenylsulfonyl)biphenyl. The bishalide monomers were synthesized by reaction of 4,4′-bis(chlorosulfonyl)biphenyl with a suitable aryl halide. Potassium carbonate mediated reaction in di-methylacetamide gave high molecular weight polymers in excellent yield. The polymers are soluble in dipolar aprotic solvents. Unlike the corresponding monosulfone analogues, the poly(aryl ether-bissulfone)s exhibited poor solubility in chlorinated hydrocarbons. The glass transition temperatures of the polymers are among the highest known for poly(aryl ether)s (241-271 °C). In addition, the polymers exhibit excellent thermal stability and they produce clear, colorless tough films by solution casting or compression molding.     

Mild and efficient nickel-catalyzed Heck reactions with electron-rich olefins

A new efficient protocol for the nickel-catalyzed Heck reaction of aryl triflates with vinyl ethers is presented. Mild reaction conditions that equal those of the corresponding palladium-catalyzed Heck reaction are applied, representing a practical and more sustainable alternative to the conventional regioselective arylation of vinyl ethers. A catalytic system comprised of Ni(COD)(2) and 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (DPPF) in combination with the tertiary amine Cy(2)NMe proved effective in the olefination of a wide range of aryl triflates. Both electron-deficient and electron-rich arenes proved compatible, and the corresponding aryl methyl ketone could be secured after hydrolysis in yields approaching quantitative. Good functional group tolerance was observed matching the characteristics of the analogous Pd-catalyzed Heck reaction. The high levels of catalytic activity were explained by the intermediacy of a cationic nickel(II) complex potentially responsible for the successive β-hydride elimination and base promoted catalyst regeneration. Although these elementary reactions are normally considered challenging, DFT calculations suggested this pathway to be favorable under the applied reaction conditions.     

Palladium‐catalysed reductive carbonylation of aryl halides with iron pentacarbonyl for synthesis of aromatic aldehydes and deuterated aldehydes

The first use of iron pentacarbonyl is described for the novel and efficient conversion of aryl iodides, bromides and chlorides into their corresponding aryl aldehydes and/or aryl deuterated aldehydes. The reaction is catalysed with Pd(0) in aqueous N,N‐dimethylformamide at atmospheric pressure. In this protocol, neither gaseous hydrogen nor any reducing agent is required for the formation of the carbonylated product. The reaction can be performed without a P(III) ligand for aryl iodides; however, employing a P(III) ligand is necessary to perform the reaction with aryl bromides and chlorides.

Copper-mediated fluorination of aryl iodides

The synthesis of aryl fluorides has been studied intensively because of the importance of aryl fluorides in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials. The stability, reactivity, and biological properties of aryl fluorides can be distinct from those of the corresponding arenes. Methods for the synthesis of aryl fluorides, however, are limited. We report the conversion of a diverse set of aryl iodides to the corresponding aryl fluorides. This reaction occurs with a cationic copper reagent and silver fluoride. Preliminary results suggest this reaction is enabled by a facile reductive elimination from a cationic arylcopper(III) fluoride.

Ni(COD)2/PCy3 catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl and heteroaryl neopentylglycolboronates with aryl and heteroaryl mesylates and sulfamates in THF at room temperature

Reaction conditions for the Ni(COD)(2)/PCy(3) catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl neopentylglycolboronates with aryl mesylates were developed. By using optimized reaction conditions, Ni(COD)(2)/PCy(3) was shown to be a versatile catalyst for the cross-coupling of a diversity of aryl neopentylglycolboronates with aryl and heteroaryl mesylates and sulfamates containing both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents in their para, ortho, and meta positions in THF at room temperature. This Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl neopentylglycolboronates is also effective for the synthesis of heterobiaryls and biaryls containing electrophilic functionalities sensitive to organolithium and organomagnesium derivatives. In combination with the recently developed Ni-catalyzed neopentylglycolborylation, all Ni-catalyzed routes to functional biaryls and heterobiaryls are now easily accessible.     

Nickel‐Catalyzed Cyanation of Aryl Chlorides and Triflates Using Butyronitrile: Merging Retro‐hydrocyanation with Cross‐Coupling

We describe a nickel‐catalyzed cyanation reaction of aryl (pseudo)halides that employs butyronitrile as a cyanating reagent instead of highly toxic cyanide salts. A dual catalytic cycle merging retro‐hydrocyanation and cross‐coupling enables the conversion of a broad array of aryl chlorides and aryl/vinyl triflates into their corresponding nitriles. This new reaction provides a strategically distinct approach to the safe preparation of aryl cyanides, which are essential compounds in agrochemistry and medicinal chemistry.     

Conversion of di(furyl-2)alkyl and di(furyl-2)arylmethanes to the thiophene analogs

On reaction with hydrogen sulfide in strongly acidic media, difurylalkyl-(aryl)methanes are converted to furylthienylalkyl(aryl)- or dithienylalkyl-(aryl)methanes, depending on the conditions.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1046–1048, August, 1989.     

Copper‐Catalyzed Coupling of Triaryl‐ and Trialkylindium Reagents with Aryl Iodides and Bromides through Consecutive Transmetalations

An efficient copper(I)‐catalyzed coupling of triaryl and trialkylindium reagents with aryl iodides and bromides is reported. The reaction proceeds at low catalyst loadings (2 mol %) and generally only requires 0.33 equivalents of the triorganoindium reagent with respect to the aryl halide as all three organic nucleophilic moieties of the reagent are transferred to the products through consecutive transmetalations. The reaction tolerates a variety of functional groups and sterically hindered substrates. Furthermore, preliminary mechanistic studies that entailed the synthesis and characterization of potential reaction intermediates offered a glimpse of the elementary steps that constitute the catalytic cycle.     

1,2,3-Triazol-5-ylidene-palladium complex catalyzed Mizoroki-Heck and Sonogashira coupling reactions

The bis-1,4-dimesityl-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene-palladium complex (1a) successfully catalyzes the Mizoroki-Heck and Sonogashira coupling reactions with aryl bromides to give the corresponding alkenes and alkynes, respectively, in good to excellent yields. In the Mizoroki-Heck reaction, electron-rich, electron-poor, and functionalized aryl bromides and alkenes are tolerated, while the substrates are limited to electron-poor aryl halides in the Sonogashira coupling reaction. The palladium complex also catalyzes cross-coupling reactions with aryl chlorides to give higher yields of products than does the bis-IMes-Pd complex analogue (2), under specific conditions.     

Biaryl synthesis from two different aryl halides with tri(2-furyl)germane

[reaction: see text] The coupling reaction of germanium compounds with aryl halides has been developed. The Pd(0)-catalyzed reaction of aryl halides with tri(2-furyl)germane provides aryltri(2-furyl)germanes in good yield. The cross-coupling reaction of aryltri(2-furyl)germanes with aryl halides is achieved. This allows facile synthesis of unsymmetrical biaryls from two different aryl halides.     

Regioselective Addition of 5-Amino-l,2,4-Triazoles and Its Analogues with Arylsulfonyl Isocyanates

5-Amino-3-benzyl (aryl)thio-1,2,4-triazoles and its analogues (pyrazole) 1 are important intermediates for the syntheses of a lot of biological active compounds^[1,2]. In our previous paper^[3], we reported the regioselective addition of 1 with aryl isocyanates and the experimental results showed that the orientation of the addition of 5-amino-3-benzyl (aryl)thio-1,2,4-triazoles and its analogues with the aryl isocyanates can be directed by controlling the reaction temperature.The 1-position adduct 2 was obtained regiospecifically below 120℃, whereas the 5-position adduct 3 was obtained selectively when the reaction temperature was raised to 170℃ (Scheme 1).
