Iodination with Potassium Permanganate/Hydroiodic Acid/Acetonitrile Reagent

Iodination of various aromatic amines proceeds smoothly with a preformed homogeneous mixture of hydroiodic acid potassium permanganate in acetonitrile. para-Substituted products were obtained in high yields (71-78%) within twelve hours at room temperature. With a slight modification of the permanganate, hydroiodic acid and substrate ratio, iodination of alkynes to vic-diiodoalkenes can be carried out at 60 °C in 65-87% yield.

Selective synthesis of (E)-triethyl(2-arylethenyl)silane derivatives by reaction of aryl bromides with triethyl vinylsilane catalysed by a palladium-tetraphosphine complex

Cis, cis, cis-1,2,3,4-tetrakis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)cyclopentane / 0.5 [PdCl(C₃H₅)]₂ system catalyses the Heck reaction of vinylsilane derivatives with a range of aryl bromides with high ratio substrate/catalyst in good yields.

Moreover, turnover numbers up to 10,000 can be obtained for this reaction.

An improved protocol for synthesis of N-arylamides and benzoxazoles by the copper-catalyzed reaction of aryl halides with nitriles

An improved protocol for the synthesis of N-arylamides and benzoxazoles by the copper-catalyzed reaction of aryl halides with nitriles has been developed. Use of acetaldoxime as the hydrolysis reagent instead of H₂O facilitates the operation of the reaction. The significantly decreased amount of nitriles, along with use of weak base K₂CO₃ instead of strong base KOH, makes this transformation atom-efficient and environmentally benign. A variety of N-arylamides and benzoxazole derivatives can be synthesized according to this approach.     

The influence of the nature of phosphine ligand on palladium catalysts for cross-coupling of weakly nucleophilic potassium pentafluorophenyltrifluoroborate with ArHal and PhCH2Hal (Hal=Br,Cl)

The influence of the ligand nature on catalytic activity of palladium catalysts for cross-coupling of weakly nucleophilic potassium pentafluorophenyltrifluoroborate, which imitates the behavior of electron-deficient organoboron reagents, with aryl halides, ArHal (Hal=Br, Cl) was studied. The activity of the catalysts generated in situ from Pd(OAc)₂ and appropriate phosphorous containing ligands and the reaction selectivity was found to depend on the nature of bulky phosphines used as ligands. As a result, conditions for involving the electron-deficient organoboron reagent—potassium pentafluorophenyltrifluoroborate—in the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling with aryl bromides and aryl chlorides were identified. It was demonstrated that the chosen conditions are appropriate for the reaction of K[C₆F₅BF₃] with benzyl chloride and benzyl bromide deriving pentafluorophenylarylmethanes, C₆F₅CH₂Ar.
