Stille couplings catalytic in tin: the "Sn-O" approach.

A one-pot tandem Pd-catalyzed hydrostannylation/Stille coupling protocol for the stereoselective generation of vinyltins and their subsequent union, employing only catalytic amounts of tin, is described. By recycling the organotin halide Stille byproduct back to organotin hydride, a hydrostannylation/cross-coupling sequence can be carried out with catalytic amounts of tin. Such a process is most effective with Me(3)SnCl serving as the tin source. This protocol allows a 94% reduction of the tin requirement, while maintaining good yields (up to 90%) for a variety of Stille products. Furthermore, since one cycle requires the tin to undergo at least four transformations, each moiety of trialkyltin is experiencing a minimum of 60 reactions over the course of the hydrostannylation/Stille sequence.

A novel mode of access to polyfunctional organotin compounds and their reactivity in Stille cross-coupling reaction

Mono-, di-, tri- and tetra-functional organotin compounds were easily prepared in a sonicated Barbier reaction using ultrasound technology via coupling reaction of organo halides with tin halides (Bu₃SnCl, Bu₂SnCl₂, BuSnCl₃, SnCl₄) mediated by magnesium metal. The di- and tri-functional organotin compounds were tested in a Stille cross-coupling reaction in order to ascertain how many groups were transferred.     

Pd2(dba)3/P(i-BuNCH2CH2)3N-catalyzed Stille cross-coupling of aryl chlorides

[reaction: see text] The Pd(2)(dba)(3)/P(i-BuNCH(2)CH(2))(3)N (1d) catalyst system is highly effective for the Stille cross-coupling of aryl chlorides with organotin compounds. This method represents only the second general method for the coupling of aryl chlorides. Other proazaphosphatranes possessing benzyl substituents also generate very active catalysts for Stille reactions. Noteworthy features of the method are: (a) commercial availability of ligand 1d, (b) the wide array of aryl chlorides that can be coupled, and (c) applicability to aryl, vinyl, and allyl tin reagents.     

An efficient Stille cross-coupling reaction catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2/DAB-Cy catalytic system

An efficient palladium-catalyzed Stille cross-coupling reaction has been developed. In the presence of 3 mol% of Pd(dba)₂ and 6 mol% of DAB-Cy (1,4-dicyclohexyl-diazabutadiene), various aryl halides (iodides and bromides) were coupled with organotin compounds to afford the corresponding biaryls and alkyne in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, high TONs [turnover numbers, TONs up to 950,000 for the reaction of 1-iodo-4-nitrobenzene and tributyl(phenyl)stannane] for the Stille cross-coupling reaction were observed.     

Efficient Stille cross-coupling reaction catalyzed by the Pd(OAc)2/Dabco catalytic system

[reaction: see text] An efficient Pd(OAc)2/Dabco-catalyzed Stille cross-coupling reaction procedure has been developed. In the presence of Pd(OAc)2 and Dabco (triethylenediamine), various aryl halides including aryl iodides, aryl bromides, and activated aryl chlorides were coupled efficiently with organotin compounds to afford the corresponding biaryls, alkene, and alkynes in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, high TONs [turnover numbers, up to 980,000 TONs for the coupling reaction of 1-bromo-4-nitrobenzene and furan-2-yltributyltin] for the Stille cross-coupling reaction were observed.     

Are Organotin Reagents Derived from Bis(trimethylsilyl)picoline Suitable Precursors for the Preparation of Cyclometallated Complexes?

The organotin reagents [2‐PyC(SiMe₃)₂SnR₃] (R = Me, ⁿBu) were prepared in good yields from the reaction between the lithium salt of 2‐bis(trimethylsilyl)picoline and the corresponding trialkyltin chlorides. Reactions of these organotin reagents were carried out with various Pd and Pt complexes including [MCl₂(cod)] and [MCl₂(PhCN)₂] (M = Pd, Pt). The results show that a Me group is transferred to the metal atom, rather than the 2‐bis(trimethylsilyl)picolyl group. The mechanism for this reaction is discussed and reasons why Me group transfer occurs based on DFT computed structural data are given.     

Replacing conventional carbon nucleophiles with electrophiles: nickel-catalyzed reductive alkylation of aryl bromides and chlorides

A general method is presented for the synthesis of alkylated arenes by the chemoselective combination of two electrophilic carbons. Under the optimized conditions, a variety of aryl and vinyl bromides are reductively coupled with alkyl bromides in high yields. Under similar conditions, activated aryl chlorides can also be coupled with bromoalkanes. The protocols are highly functional-group tolerant (-OH, -NHTs, -OAc, -OTs, -OTf, -COMe, -NHBoc, -NHCbz, -CN, -SO(2)Me), and the reactions are assembled on the benchtop with no special precautions to exclude air or moisture. The reaction displays different chemoselectivity than conventional cross-coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki-Miyaura, Stille, and Hiyama-Denmark reactions. Substrates bearing both an electrophilic and nucleophilic carbon result in selective coupling at the electrophilic carbon (R-X) and no reaction at the nucleophilic carbon (R-[M]) for organoboron (-Bpin), organotin (-SnMe(3)), and organosilicon (-SiMe(2)OH) containing organic halides (X-R-[M]). A Hammett study showed a linear correlation of σ and σ(-) parameters with the relative rate of reaction of substituted aryl bromides with bromoalkanes. The small ρ values for these correlations (1.2-1.7) indicate that oxidative addition of the bromoarene is not the turnover-frequency determining step. The rate of reaction has a positive dependence on the concentration of alkyl bromide and catalyst, no dependence upon the amount of zinc (reducing agent), and an inverse dependence upon aryl halide concentration. These results and studies with an organic reductant (TDAE) argue against the intermediacy of organozinc reagents.     

PEG-400 promoted Pd(OAc)2/DABCO-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions in aqueous media

PEG-400 [poly(ethylene glycol-400)] was found to improve the Pd(OAc)₂/DABCO-catalyzed aqueous Suzuki-Miyaura and Stille cross-coupling reactions. In the presence of Pd(OAc)₂, DABCO, and PEG-400, a variety of aryl halides were coupled with arylboronic acids or organotin compounds efficiently to afford the corresponding cross-coupled products in moderate to excellent yields. The turnover numbers was up to 900,000 for the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction and up to 9800 for the Stille reaction. The catalyst system was also effective for Heck and Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions to some extent.     

Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Tetrathiafulvalene Derivatives via Me(3)Al-Promoted Reactions of Organotin Compounds with Esters

Efficient synthetic methods for the construction of a wide variety of unsymmetrical tetrathiafulvalenes (TTFs) via the Me(3)Al-promoted reactions of organotin thiolates or selenolates with esters are described. Reaction of tin thiolates (3a-c and 10) and selenolates (3d, 5, and 7) with esters (11a,b) in the presence of Me(3)Al as a Lewis acid gave dihydrotetrathiafulvalene derivatives (12, 14, 15, and 17-20) and 1,3-dithiane derivatives (13 and 16). In addition, the synthesis of diselenadithiafulvalene derivatives (25-28) could be accomplished by Me(3)Al-mediated reaction of tin thiolate (2a) or selenolates (3d and 5) with esters (22a, 22d, and 24). Furthermore, the application of the Me(3)Al-promoted reaction of tin thiolate (34) with esters (11a-b, 22a-d, and 35a-b) for the synthesis of unsymmetrical TTFs-fused donors enabled us to obtain various TTFs-fused systems (29-33) in short steps.     

Palladium on charcoal-catalyzed ligand-free Stille coupling

An efficient ligand-free Stille coupling reaction catalyzed by palladium on charcoal was developed. Tetraphenyltin was reacted with a variety of aryl halides including aryl chlorides using LiCl as an additive. The reactions of tributyl organotin compounds with aryl iodides were effectively expedited by the addition of LiF. These reactions efficiently proceeded without a phosphine or arsenic ligand and no leached palladium was detected in the reaction mixture.     

Palladium-catalyzed Stille cross-couplings of sulfonyl chlorides and organostannanes

Arene and phenylmethanesulfonyl chlorides can be cross-coupled with aryl, heteroaryl, and alkenylstannanes with desulfitation in the presence of 10 mol % CuBr.Me2S, 1.5 mol % Pd2dba3, and 5 mol % tri-2-furylphosphine in tetrahydrofuran or toluene under reflux. This extension of the Stille cross-coupling reaction realizes a new and economical method for the generation of C-C bonds. The palladium-catalyzed carbonylative Stille cross-coupling reactions of arenesulfonyl chlorides and organostannanes in the presence of CO (60 bar) at 110 degrees C in toluene generate the corresponding ketones. Arenesulfonyl chlorides are more reactive than aryl chlorides and aryl bromides in their Stille cross-coupling with organostannanes but less reactive than aryl iodides. The new methods disclosed for the generation of C-C bonds open new possibilities for medicinal chemistry and material sciences.

Cine-substitution in the Stille coupling: evidence for the carbenoid reactivity of sp3-gem-organodimetallic iodopalladio-trialkylstannylalkane intermediates

Two complementary routes to sp3-gem-organodimetallic iodopalladio-trialkylstannanylalkanes are presented. Such intermediates have been proposed as Pd-carbenoid precursors in the Busacca-Farina cine-substitution mechanism in the Stille coupling. The decomposition of iodomethyltrialkylstannanes by Pd(0) catalysts was monitored by 1H, 2D, and 119Sn NMR. The formation of ethylene, trace formaldehyde, and iodotrialkylstannanes was detected. When the reaction was carried out in the presence of norbornene, the corresponding cyclopropane was produced in good yield. These observations are consistent with the intermediacy of a Pd-carbenoid species. sp3-gem-Organodimetallic iodopalladio-trialkylstannanylalkane complexes were also prepared under stoichiometric conditions via transmetalation from tin to Pd(II). Me3SnCH2Sn(CH2CH2CH2)3 reacted with [(D-t-BPF)PdI]+I-, yielding the (D-t-BPF)Pd(II)ICH2SnMe3 complex that dimerized to form ethylene and cyclopropanated norbornene. The carbenoid reactivity of iodopalladio-trialkylstannanylalkanes complexes validates the Busacca-Farina mechanism of the cine-substitution in the Stille coupling.     

Palladium‐catalyzed synthesis of 8‐allyl or 8‐prenylcoumarins by using organotin reagents as multicoupling nucleophiles

In this study, 8‐iodocoumarin derivatives underwent a direct Stille cross‐coupling reaction with several organotin compounds in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(PPh₃)₄ in DMF at 80 °C. The cross‐coupling reaction proceeded smoothly under mild conditions and permitted the formation of 8‐allyl or 8‐prenylcoumarin compounds in good yields.

Synthesis, spectral characterization and biological studies of some organotin(IV) complexes of L-proline, trans-hydroxy-L-proline and L-glutamine

New organotin(IV) complexes of the general formula R3Sn(L) (where R=Me, n-Bu and HL=L-proline; R=Me, Ph and HL=trans-hydroxy-L-proline and L-glutamine) and R2Sn(L)2 (where R=n-Bu, Ph and HL=L-proline; R=Ph, HL=trans-hydroxy-L-proline) have been synthesized by the reaction of RnSnCl(4-n) (where n=2 or 3) with sodium salt of the amino acid (HL). n-Bu2Sn(Pro)2 was synthesized by the reaction of n-Bu2SnO with L-proline under azeotropic removal of water. The bonding and coordination behavior in these complexes have been discussed on the basis of IR and 119Sn M?ssbauer spectroscopic studies in the solid-state. Their coordination behavior in solution has been discussed with the help of multinuclear (1H, 13C and 119Sn) NMR spectral studies. The 119Sn M?ssbauer and IR studies indicate that L-proline and trans-hydroxy-L-proline show similar coordination behavior towards organotin(IV) compounds. Pentacoordinate trigonal-bipyramidal and hexacoordinate octahedral structures, respectively, have been proposed for the tri- and diorganotin(IV) complexes of L-proline and trans-hydroxy-L-proline, in which the carboxylate group acts as bidentate group. L-glutamine shows different coordination behavior towards organotin(IV) compounds, it acts as monoanionic bidentate ligand coordinating through carboxylate and amino group. The triorganotin(IV) complexes of L-glutamine have been proposed to have trigonal-bipyramidal environment around tin. The newly synthesized complexes have been tested for their antiinflammatory and cardiovascular activities. Their LD50 values are >1000 mg kg-1.     

Synthesis and characterization of monodisperse oligo(fluorene-co-bithiophene)s

A series of monodisperse oligo(9,9-di-n-octylfluorene-co-bithiophene)s (OFbTs) with molecular lengths of up to 19.5 nm and molecular weights up to 7025 g mol(-1) has been synthesized by a divergent/convergent approach involving Stille coupling reactions. Stille coupling is quite efficient in preparing this class of oligomers, and even the molecule with nine fluorene units and eight bithiophene units (F9Th16) can be synthesized in a yield as high as 70 %. Because of easy functionalization of the thiophene ring at its alpha position, no additional protecting group allowing activation for further reaction is necessary. However, the synthetic routes must be optimized to eliminate contamination of the targeting compounds with the homocoupling product of the organotin reagents. Synthesis of the longest oligomer F13Th24 in a relative large quantity is limited by its low yield due to the pronounced ligand-exchange side reactions of the starting materials and reaction intermediates. All oligomers longer than F4Th6 are nematic mesomorphs and exhibit enhanced glass transition temperature and clearing point with increasing molecular length, as revealed by differential scanning calorimetry and polarizing optical microscopy. Absorption and photoluminescence (PL) measurements reveal that OFbTs are well-conjugated systems with an effective conjugation length longer than the length of F13Th24.     

Pd/P(t-Bu)(3): a mild and general catalyst for Stille reactions of aryl chlorides and aryl bromides

Pd/P(t-Bu)(3) serves as an unusually reactive catalyst for Stille reactions of aryl chlorides and bromides, providing solutions to a number of long-standing challenges. An unprecedented array of aryl chlorides can be cross-coupled with a range of organotin reagents, including SnBu(4). Very hindered biaryls (e.g., tetra-ortho-substituted) can be synthesized, and aryl chlorides can be coupled in the presence of aryl triflates. The method is user-friendly, since a commercially available complex, Pd(P(t-Bu)(3))(2), is effective. Pd/P(t-Bu)(3) also functions as an active catalyst for Stille reactions of aryl bromides, furnishing the first general method for room-temperature cross-couplings.     

Complex Salts Derived from the Reactions of Organotin(IV) with 6-Methylpyridine-2-Carboxaldehyde Phenylhydrazone: X-Ray Crystal Structure of BIS[6-Methylpyridine- 2-Carboxaldehydehydrazodium]- Tetrachlorodimethylstannate(IV)

Reactions of organotin(IV) chloride (Me 2 SnCl 2 , PhSnCl 3 and n -BuSnCl 3 ) with the Schiff base 6-methylpyridine-2-carboxaldehyde phenylhydrazone ( L ) result in the formation of organotin(IV) anionic complexes. Me 2 SnCl 2 reacts with L in dichloromethane to form [ L H + ] 2 [Me 2 SnCl 4 ] 2 m . X-ray structural analysis has been carried out on the complex salt bis[6-methylpyridine-2-carboxaldehydehydrazodium]tetra-chlorodimethylstannate(IV), [ L H + ] 2 [Me 2 SnCl 4 ] 2 m wherein the tin moieties exist as monomers. Reactions of PhSnC1 3 and n -BuSnCl 3 with L form the complexes [ L H + ] 2 [PhSnCl 5 ] 2 m and [ L H + ] 2 [ n- BuSnCl 5 ] 2 m . Compounds were also characterized by FTIR, 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy.
