Catalytic quantities of copper(I) or copper(II) sources catalyze the N-imination of boronic acids and organostannanes through reaction with oxime O-carboxylates under nonbasic conditions. This method tolerates various functional groups and takes place efficiently using aryl, heteroaryl, and alkenyl boronic acids and stannanes.     

Versatile synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted 2-fluoropyridines and 2-pyridones

5-bromo-2-fluoro-3-pyridylboronic acid (3) was prepared in high yield by ortho-lithiation of 5-bromo-2-fluoropyridine (1), followed by reaction with trimethylborate. Suzuki reaction of 3 with a range of aryl iodides gave 3-monosubstituted 5-bromo-2-fluoropyridines 4 in excellent yields. A second Suzuki reaction utilizing the bromo constituent of 4 with aryl and heteroaryl boronic acids provided 3,5-disubstituted 2-fluoropyridines 5, which in turn could be converted to the corresponding 2-pyridones 6.

General and highly efficient fluorinated-N-heterocyclic carbene–based catalysts for the palladium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura reaction

A general and highly efficient trifluoromethylated-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-based catalyst for the palladium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura reaction was reported. In the presence of the catalyst, reactions of non-activated aryl chlorides and triflates with aryl boronic acids occurred at room temperature with good to excellent yields (63–98%). In addition, catalysts generated from a combination of Pd(OAc)₂/imidazolium salt 6a is not only effective for the coupling of heteroaryl boronic acid with aryl halides and heteroaryl halides, but also efficient for coupling of other heteroaryl halides and heteroaryl boronic acids. Finally, the catalyst is highly effective for Suzuki–Miyaura reaction of aryl bromides and chlorides with 0.01–0.1 mol % loading if the temperature was raised at refluxed THF/H₂O.

First synthesis of beta-keto sulfoxides by a palladium-catalyzed carbonylative Suzuki reaction

[reaction: see text] An unprecedented palladium-catalyzed three-component cross-coupling reaction between alpha-bromo sulfoxide, carbon monoxide, and aromatic boronic acids provides a new and efficient approach to the synthesis of beta-ketosulfoxides. The reaction takes place under mild conditions with a wide range of variously substituted aryl and heteroaryl boronic acids. The carbonylative cross-coupling reaction is strongly favored over competing direct cross-coupling and homocoupling processes, except with boronic acids carrying strong electron-withdrawing substituents.

Modern synthetic methods for copper-mediated C(aryl)[bond]O, C(aryl)[bond]N, and C(aryl)[bond]S bond formation

The copper-mediated C(aryl)[bond]N, C(aryl)[bond]O, and C(aryl)[bond]S bond formation is an important transformation and has been developed to include a wide range of substrates. This Review highlights the recent developments in the copper-mediated (both stoichiometric and catalytic) reactions of aryl boronic acids, aryl halides, iodonium salts, siloxanes, stannanes, plumbanes, bismuthates, and trifluoroborate salts as aryl donors. In particular, the recent introduction of boronic acids as reaction partners in both O- and N-arylation has been a significant discovery and will occupy centre-stage in this review. Clear improvements can be obtained by the correct choice of copper source, base, ligands, and other additives. Mechanistic investigations should provide insight into the catalytically active species, which would aid in the development of milder, more-efficient methods.

Addition of C‐ or N‐based electrophiles then allows conversion into sulfones and sulfonamides, respectively, in a one‐pot, two‐step process.

A C-h borylation approach to suzuki-miyaura coupling of typically unstable 2-heteroaryl and polyfluorophenyl boronates

A method for the synthesis of biaryls and heterobiaryls from arenes and haloarenes without the intermediacy of unstable boronic acids is described. Pinacol boronate esters that are analogous to unstable boronic acids are formed in high yield by iridium-catalyzed C-H borylation of heteroarenes and fluoroarenes. These boronates are stable in the solid state or in solution and can be generated and used in situ. They couple with aryl halides in the presence of simple palladium catalysts, providing a convenient route to biaryl and heteroaryl products that have been challenging to prepare via boronic acids.

Synthesis of internal alkynes via one-pot palladium-catalyzed and dehydrobromination reactions of 1,1-dibromo-1-alkenes

Tandem palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, and heteroaryl 2-substituted 1,1-dibromo-1-alkenes with aryl or heteroaryl boronic acids or borate esters and dehydrobromination of the intermediate coupled products afforded internal alkynes in moderate to good yields (up to 89%). The synthesis has been carried out in a one-pot process and in a two-step sequence according to the nature of the starting 1,1-dibromoalkenes. The reported protocol is compatible with the presence in the 1,1-dibromo-1-alkene molecule of additional reactive halogen–carbon bonds, thus allowing to build up more complex alkyne derivatives.
