Palladium/copper-catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides with a variety of terminal alkynes under amine-free conditions in dimethylformamide (DMF) at 80 degrees C gave internal arylated alkynes using PdCl2(MeCN)2 with phosphine-free hydrazone 2a as a ligand and CuI as the cocatalyst in good yields. We also found PdCl2/hydrazone ligand 1d in PhMe at 80 degrees C was a phosphine-free efficient catalyst system for a Hiyama cross-coupling reaction of aryl bromides with aryl(trialkoxy)silanes in good yields.

Palladium-catalyzed, asymmetric Mizoroki-Heck reaction of benzylic electrophiles using phosphoramidites as chiral ligands

We report herein the first examples of asymmetric Mizoroki-Heck reactions using benzyl electrophiles. A new phosphoramidite was identified to be an effective chiral ligand in the palladium-catalyzed reaction. The reaction is compatible with polar functional groups and can be readily scaled up. Several cyclic olefins worked well as olefin components. Thirty-one examples are included.     

Palladium-catalyzed cascade reaction of alpha,beta-unsaturated sulfones with aryl iodides

Unlike traditionally used acyclic 1,2-disubstituted alkenes, the reaction of alpha,beta-unsaturated phenyl sulfones with aryl iodides under Heck reaction conditions (Pd(OAc)(2) as catalyst, Ag(2)CO(3) as base in DMF at 120 (0)C) takes place mainly by a cascade process, involving one unit of the alkene and three units of the aryl iodide, to afford a substituted 9-phenylsulfonyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene. The dominant formation of this 3:1 coupling product, instead of the Heck trisubstituted olefin, shows that aromatic C-H bond activation processes can compete with the usually fast syn beta-hydrogen elimination step in the Heck arylation of an acyclic olefin. The structural scope of this palladium-catalyzed cascade arylation of alpha,beta-unsaturated sulfones has proved to be wide with regard to substitution at the beta-position (alkyl, aryl, or alkenyl substitution), substitution at the sulfone unit (alkyl or phenyl sulfones), and configuration at the CdoublebondC bond (trans or cis). Moreover, although less favored than in the case of the arylation of alpha,beta-unsaturated sulfones, similarly substituted 9,10-dihydrophenanthrenes have also been obtained in the case of alpha,beta-unsaturated phosphine oxides and alpha,beta-unsaturated phosphonate esters. A Pd(0)-Pd(II)-Pd(IV) mechanistic pathway involving the successive formation of highly electrophilic sigma-alkylpalladium intermediates and palladacycles is proposed for this multicomponent arylation.     

Palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl iodides using aqueous ammonia

Aminocarbonylation of aromatic iodides using aqueous ammonia in toluene has been developed. Various primary aromatic amides have been efficiently synthesized in good to excellent yields in the presence of catalytic quantities of Pd(OAc)₂/CYTOP®292. The usage of aqueous ammonia avoids the handling of two gases in the reaction.     

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction: Direct allylation of aryl bromides with allyl acetate

Various aryl bromides underwent a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with allyl acetate in the presence of hexa-n-butylditin to give the allylated products in very high yields.     

Palladium-catalyzed N-arylation of sulfoximines with aryl bromides and aryl iodides

Various N-arylated sulfoximines have been synthesized in high yield by a direct approach which is based on a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling strategy. Aryl bromides of variable substitution pattern were found to be the most effective coupling partners, whereas aryl iodides showed a nonpredictable behavior requiring lithium or silver salts as additives to ensure product formation in acceptable yields. Coupling of (S)-2-(2'-bromophenyl)-4-tert-butyloxazoline with enantiomerically pure (-)-(RS)-S-methyl-S-phenylsulfoximine afforded the corresponding product in good yield as a single diastereomer, showing that the palladium-catalyzed arylation proceeds in a stereospecific manner. The reaction with dibromobenzenes yielded the monosulfonimidoyl arenes in all cases, suggesting that the introduction of the sulfonimidoyl moiety deactivates the arene, thus preventing a second coupling step.     

Palladium-catalyzed intramolecular coupling between aryl iodides and allyl moieties via thermal and microwave-assisted conditions

Palladium-catalyzed intramolecular cross-coupling reactions between aryl iodides and allyl moieties were successfully demonstrated in the presence of palladium catalyst, tri-o-tolylphosphine, a tertiary amine, and water. Several kinds of trans-2,4-disubstituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines were synthesized in 73-88% yields with excellent diastereoselectivities. This method was further applied to a large variety of substrates to form five-, six-, and seven-membered carbo- and heterocycles in good yields, regardless of the ring-containing atom, via microwave-assisted conditions.

Palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative coupling of benzoic acid derivatives with arylboroxins gave biaryls using a catalytic amount of Pd(TFA)₂–hydrazone 1d system with Ag₂CO₃ at 80 °C in good yields. We also found that decarboxylative coupling with aryl(trialkoxy)silanes gave biaryls using a Pd(TFA)₂–hydrazone 1g system with AgF in good yields.     

Palladium-catalyzed reaction of aryl iodides with acetic anhydride. A carbon monoxide-free synthesis of acetophenones

[reaction: see text] The palladium-catalyzed reaction of aryl iodides with acetic anhydride provides a straightforward and experimentally simple carbon monoxide-free route to acetophenones. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functionalized aryl iodides. Acetophenones are isolated in excellent yield with a variety of neutral, slightly electron-rich, and slightly electron-poor aryl iodides, whereas moderate yields are obtained with aryl iodides containing strongly electron-withdrawing substituents.     

Palladium-catalyzed oxidative coupling of trialkylamines with aryl iodides leading to alkyl aryl ketones

A new, simple method for selectively synthesizing alkyl aryl ketones has been developed by palladium-catalyzed oxidative coupling of trialkylamines with aryl iodides. In the presence of PdCl(2)(MeCN)(2), TBAB, and ZnO, a variety of aryl iodides underwent an oxidative coupling reaction with tertiary amines and water to afford the corresponding alkyl aryl ketones in moderate to excellent yields. It is noteworthy that this method is the first example of using trialkylamines as the carbonyl sources for constructing alkyl aryl ketone skeletons.

The optimized reaction conditions were equimolar amounts (5 mol % each) of Pd(acac)₂ and phosphite 1 in p-xylene at 80 °C with TBAF as an additive. This catalyst system exhibited high activities in the reactions with trimethoxysilylbenzene and aryl bromides that have electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups. In the case of aryl chlorides, substrates possessing electron-withdrawing groups gave the coupled products in high yields.
