Simple amine/Pd(OAc)(2)-catalyzed suzuki coupling reactions of aryl bromides under mild aerobic conditions

A new palladium catalyst (DAPCy) made from Pd(OAc)(2) and commercially available, inexpensive dicyclohexylamine has been developed for the Suzuki coupling reaction of aryl bromides with boronic acids to give the coupling products in good to high yields. The air-stable catalyst was characterized and well-defined by X-ray crystallography. A catalytic system involving DAPCy in dioxane demonstrates a temperature-dependent reactivity toward aryl bromides with different electronic substituents, and selectively couples electron-deficient aryl bromides with boronic acids over electron-rich ones at room temperature. Another catalytic system employing DAPCy in EtOH provides a general and convenient method to prepare biaryls from aryl bromides and boronic acids with a broad range of functional groups at room temperature and under aerobic conditions.     

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.     

Guanidine/Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed room temperature Suzuki cross-coupling reaction in aqueous media under aerobic conditions

A highly efficient Pd(OAc)2/guanidine aqueous system for the room temperature Suzuki cross-coupling reaction has been developed. The new water-soluble and air-stable catalyst Pd(OAc)2.(1f)2 from Pd(OAc)2 and 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-2-n-butylguanidine (1f) was synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. In the presence of Pd(OAc)2.(1f)2, coupling of arylboronic acids with a wide range of aryl halides, including aryl iodides, aryl bromides, even activated aryl chlorides, was carried out smoothly in aqueous solvent to afford the cross-coupling products in good to excellent yields and high turnover numbers (TONs) (TONs up to 850,000 for the reaction of 1-iodo-4-nitrobenzene and phenylboronic acid). Furthermore, this mild protocol could tolerate a broad range of functional groups.     

trans-Pd(OAc)2(Cy2NH)2 catalyzed Suzuki coupling reactions and its temperature-dependent activities toward aryl bromides

A new catalytic system based on Pd-simple amines for Suzuki coupling reactions of aryl bromides is described. A well-defined air-stable complex, trans-Pd(OAc)₂(Cy₂NH)₂ effectively promotes Suzuki couplings of aryl bromides with a range of aryl boronic acids to give diaryl products in high yields. It also exhibits temperature-dependent activity toward aryl bromides bearing different electronic substituents under reaction conditions.     

A copper- and amine-free Sonogashira reaction employing chlorophosphine as new and efficient ligand

An efficient palladium-catalyzed copper- and amine-free Sonogashira coupling reaction of aryl bromides and chlorides was studied using a sterically hindered monooxychlorophosphine as new ligand.The use of 2 mol%Pd（OAc）₂ in the presence of K₂CO₃ allows the coupling reaction to proceed at mild condition with good to excellent yields.     

Palladium-catalyzed tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene-promoted reductive coupling of aryl halides

Tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene (TDAE)/cat. PdCl(2)(PhCN)(2)-promoted reductive coupling of aryl bromides having either electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups on their para- and/or meta-position proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding biaryls in good to excellent yields. Notably, TDAE is such a mild reductant that easily reducible groups, such as carbonyl and nitro groups, are tolerate. A similar reductive coupling of ortho-substituted aryl bromides did not occur at all. The proper choice of palladium catalysts is essential for the reductive coupling; thus, PdCl(2)(PhCN)(2), PdCl(2)(MeCN)(2), Pd(hfacac)(2), Pd(2)(dba)(3), PdCl(2), and Pd(OAc)(2) were used successively for this reaction, but phosphine-ligated palladium catalysts such as Pd(PPh(3))(4), PdCl(2)(PPh(3))(2), and Pd(dppp) did not promote the reaction. The reductive coupling did not occur with nickel catalysts such as NiBr(2), NiCl(2)(bpy), and Ni(acac)(2). The TDAE/cat. palladium-promoted reductive coupling of aryl halides having electron-withdrawing groups took place more efficiently than that of aryl halides substituted with electron-donating groups. A plausible mechanism of TDAE/cat. palladium-promoted reaction is discussed.     

Scope and limitations of the Pd/BINAP-catalyzed amination of aryl bromides

Mixtures of Pd(2)(dba)(3) or Pd(OAc)(2) and BINAP catalyze the cross-coupling of amines with a variety of aryl bromides. Primary amines are arylated in high yield, and certain classes of secondary amines are also effectively transformed. The process tolerates the presence of several functional groups including methyl and ethyl esters, enolizable ketones, and nitro groups provided that cesium carbonate is employed as the base. Most reactions proceed to completion with 0.5-1.0 mol % of the palladium catalyst; in some cases, catalyst levels as low as 0.05 mol % Pd may be employed. Reactions are considerably faster if Pd(OAc)(2) is employed as the precatalyst, and the order in which reagents are added to the reaction has a substantial effect on reaction rate. It is likely that the catalytic process proceeds via bis(phosphine)palladium complexes as intermediates. These complexes are less prone to undergo undesirable side reactions which lead to diminished yields or catalyst deactivation than complexes of the corresponding monodentate triarylphosphines.     

Pd(OAc)2/DABCO-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction in DMF

The scope and limitations of the Pd(OAc)₂/DABCO (1,4-diaza-bicyclo[2.2.2]octane)-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions have been demonstrated. The results showed that the effect of solvent had a fundamental influence on the reaction. In the presence of Pd(OAc)₂ and DABCO, both aryl bromides and aryl chlorides all worked well with arylboronic acids to form biaryls, heteroaryl-aryls, and biheteroaryls in moderate to excellent yields using DMF as the solvent. Additionally, the reactions of aryl bromides were conducted under relatively mild conditions.     

Recyclable and reusable Pd(OAc)2/DABCO/PEG-400 system for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction

[reaction: see text] A stable and efficient Pd(OAc)2/DABCO (triethylenediamine) catalytic system for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction has been developed. In the presence of Pd(OAc)2 and DABCO, coupling of aryl halides with arylboronic acids was carried out smoothly to afford good to excellent yields and high turnover numbers (TONs) (the maximal TONs were up to 960,000 for the reaction of 1-iodo-4-nitrobenzene with phenylboronic acid) using PEG-400 as the solvent. Moreover, the Pd(OAc)2/DABCO/PEG-400 system could be recycled and reused five times without any loss of catalytic activity for aryl iodides and bromides.     

Nickel-catalyzed reductive coupling of aryl halides with secondary alkyl bromides and allylic acetate

A room-temperature Ni-catalyzed reductive method for the coupling of aryl bromides with secondary alkyl bromides has been developed, providing C(sp(2))-C(sp(3)) products in good to excellent yields. Slight modification of this protocol allows efficient coupling of activated aryl chlorides with cyclohexyl bromide and aryl bromides with allylic acetate.     

Synthesis and characterization of R2PN=P(iBuNCH2CH2)3N: a new bulky electron-rich phosphine for efficient Pd-assisted Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions

Pro-azaphosphatrane 1a [P(iBuNCH2CH2)3N] reacts with iodine under mild conditions to give [IP(iBuNCH2CH2)3N]I in excellent yield, which on subsequent reaction with ammonia followed by deprotonation with KOtBu provided HN=P(iBuNCH2CH2)3N (3a) in quantitative yield. Reaction of 3a with R'2PCl afforded sterically bulky electron-rich phosphines of the type R'2PN=P(iBuNCH2CH2)3N (4) [R'=Ph (4a), iPr (4b), tBu (4c)]. The Pd(OAc)2/4c catalyst system was particularly efficient for the coupling of arylboronic acids with aryl bromides as well as aryl chlorides to give biaryls in excellent yields.     

Palladium-catalyzed carbonylative cyclization of unsaturated aryl iodides and dienyl triflates,iodides, and bromides to indanones and 2-cyclopentenones

Indanones and 2-cyclopentenones have been successfully prepared in good to excellent yields by the palladium-catalyzed carbonylative cyclization of unsaturated aryl iodides and dienyl triflates, iodides, and bromides, respectively. The best results are obtained by employing 10 mol % of Pd(OAc)(2), 2 equiv of pyridine, 1 equiv of n-Bu(4)NCl, 1 atm of CO, a reaction temperature of 100 degrees C, and DMF as the solvent. This carbonylative cyclization is particularly effective on substrates that contain a terminal olefin. The proposed mechanism for this annulation includes (1) Pd(OAc)(2) reduction to the active palladium(0) catalyst, (2) oxidative addition of the organic halide or triflate to Pd(0), (3) coordination and insertion of carbon monoxide to produce an acylpalladium intermediate, (4) acylpalladation of the neighboring carbon-carbon double bond, (5) reversible palladium beta-hydride elimination and re-addition to form a palladium enolate, and (6) protonation by H(2)O to produce the indanone or 2-cyclopentenone.     

Improvements in cross coupling reactions of hypervalent siloxane derivatives

[formula: see text] The scope of the palladium-catalyzed cross coupling reaction of aryl halides with phenyltrimethoxysilane has been expanded to include aryl bromides, heteroaryl bromides, and aryl chlorides. A more general Pd(0)-catalyst/ligand system has been developed to activate bromides: palladium(II) acetate (Pd(OAc)2) is activated with triphenylphosphine (PPh3) or tri-o-tolylphosphine (P(o-tol)3) (1:2 molar ratio of Pd:phosphine). Coupling of aryl chloride derivatives required addition of 2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)biphenyl (Buchwald's ligand) to Pd2dba3 (tris-(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0)) (1:1.5 molar ratio of Pd:phosphine).     

Palladium-catalyzed borylation of phenyl bromides and application in one-pot Suzuki-Miyaura biphenyl synthesis

The coupling reaction of pinacolborane with various aryl bromides in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)(2) together with DPEphos as ligand and Et(3)N as base provided arylboronates. High yields were obtained in the case of electron-donor substituted aryl bromides. The direct preparation of arylboronates allowed the one-pot, two-step synthesis of unsymmetrical biaryls in high yields. [reaction: see text]

A General Palladium‐Catalyzed Hiyama Cross‐Coupling Reaction of Aryl and Heteroaryl Chlorides

A general palladium‐catalyzed Hiyama cross‐coupling reaction of aryl and heteroaryl chlorides with aryl and heteroaryl trialkoxysilanes by a Pd(OAc)₂/ L2 catalytic system is presented. A newly developed water addition protocol can dramatically improve the product yields. The conjugation of the Pd/ L2 system and the water addition protocol can efficiently catalyze a broad range of electron‐rich, ‐neutral, ‐deficient, and sterically hindered aryl chlorides and heteroaryl chlorides with excellent yields within three hours and the catalyst loading can be down to 0.05 mol % Pd for the first time. Hiyama coupling of heteroaryl chlorides with heteroaryl silanes is also reported for the first time. The reaction can be easily scaled up 200 times (100 mmol) without any degasification and purification of reactants; this facilitates the practical application in routine synthesis.

An inexpensive and highly stable ligand 1,4-bis(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylbenzyl)piperazine for Mizoroki-Heck and room temperature Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions

A bulky, inexpensive and simple bidentate ligand 1,4-bis(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylbenzyl)piperazine (1) has been synthesized and characterized. The palladium catalyst was formed by combination of 1 with [Cl₂Pd(COD)] in a ratio of 1:1, tested in the Suzuki-Miyaura and Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling reactions. Coupling of a variety of aryl bromides with phenylboronic acid using methanol as solvent at room temperature, or at 60 °C, gave generally high yields of coupled products. Coupling of aryl chlorides with organoboron reagent at 110 °C in DMF afforded good yields of biaryls under aerobic conditions. This non-phosphorus, air and moisture stable catalyst also displays good activity for Mizoroki-Heck coupling reaction in methanol at 60 °C with various aryl chlorides and bromides.     

Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed fluoride-free cross-coupling reactions of arylsiloxanes with aryl bromides in aqueous medium

Mild conditions have been developed to achieve the Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed fluoride-free cross-coupling between the aryl bromides and arylsiloxanes in good to high yields in aqueous medium. The success of the reactions requires the presence of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and 3 equiv of sodium hydroxide. The product was easily separated with ethyl ether extraction, and the catalytic system can be reused eight times with high efficiency.     

Highly reactive, general and long-lived catalysts for palladium-catalyzed amination of heteroaryl and aryl chlorides, bromides, and iodides: scope and structure-activity relationships

We describe a systematic study of the scope and relationship between ligand structure and activity for a highly efficient and selective class of catalysts containing sterically hindered chelating alkylphosphines for the amination of heteroaryl and aryl chlorides, bromides, and iodides. In the presence of this catalyst, aryl and heteroaryl chlorides, bromides, and iodides react with many primary amines in high yields with part-per-million quantities of palladium precursor and ligand. Many reactions of primary amines with both heteroaryl and aryl chlorides, bromides, and iodides occur to completion with 0.0005-0.05 mol % catalyst. A comparison of the reactivity of this catalyst for the coupling of primary amines at these loadings is made with catalysts generated from hindered monophosphines and carbenes, and these data illustrate the benefits of chelation. Studies on structural variants of the most active catalyst indicate that a rigid backbone in the bidentate structure, strong electron donation, and severe hindrance all contribute to its high reactivity. Thus, these complexes constitute a fourth-generation catalyst for the amination of aryl halides, whose activity complements catalysts based on monophosphines and carbenes.
