Unusual ligand-dependent chemoselective Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of 3-bromo-4-trifloyl-thiophenes

An unusual ligand-dependent chemoselective Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction for 3-bromo-4-trifloyl-thiophenes was discovered. Pd(PPh₃)₄ showed selectivity for triflate over bromide, whereas the selectivity was reversed for Pd(^tBu₃P)₂.     

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of resin-bound chlorotriazines

To introduce the biaryl structure as a triazine functionality, we have developed a new synthetic route via the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of resin-bound chlorotriazines. The Suzuki cross-coupling reaction was achieved using various arylboronic acids, Pd(PPh₃)₄, Cs₂CO₃, and dioxane. With the integration of this chemistry and our previous orthogonal methodology, the triazine library is greatly expanded to a biaryl scaffold.     

Suzuki–Miyaura Cross‐Coupling of Unprotected Halopurine Nucleosides in Water—Influence of Catalyst and Cosolvent

Abstract

Reaction conditions for the Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling of unprotected halopurine nucleosides with arylboronic acids in aqueous media were investigated. A series of arylated purine nucleosides was prepared in water without an organic cosolvent, using either Pd(PPh₃)₄ or Pd(OAc)₂/TPPTS as the catalyst.     

Iminophosphine-palladium(0) complexes as highly active catalysts in the Suzuki reaction. Synthesis of undecaaryl substituted corroles

The iminophosphine-palladium(0) complex [Pd(dmfu)(P-N)] [dmfu=dimethyl fumarate; P-N=2-(PPh₂)C₆H₄-1-CHNC₆H₄-4-OMe] is a very efficient catalyst for the Suzuki coupling. In the reaction of aryl bromides with phenylboronic acid, turnover numbers up to ca. 200,000 are obtained at 110 °C in 2 h. Good rates are obtained also with the sterically hindered and electronically deactivated 2-bromo-1,3,5-trimethylbenzene. The complex is able to catalyze the exhaustive arylation of 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octabromo-5,10,15-triphenylcorroleCu(III) to yield the corresponding undecaaryl substituted derivative.     

Regioselectivity in alkenyl(aryl)-heteroaryl Suzuki cross-coupling reactions of 2,4-dibromopyridine. A synthetic and mechanistic study

2,4-Dibromopyridine undergoes a regioselective Suzuki cross-coupling reaction at position 2 with several alkenyl(aryl) boronic acids to render 4-bromo-2-carbon substituted pyridines, difficult to be prepared otherwise, in good yields under palladium catalysis, either Pd(PPh₃)₄/TlOH or Pd₂dba₃/PCy₃/K₃PO₄ at 25 °C. This behavior is explained on the basis of the electrophilic character of both C-Br bonds, being their relative reactivity in 2,4-dibromopyridine similar to that in the corresponding monobromopyridines. In addition, the dicoupled compound 6 is not formed through a double oxidative addition of 2,4-dibromopyridine to Pd(PPh₃).     

Stereospecific preparation of symmetrical (1Z, 3Z)- and (1E, 3E)-2,3-difluoro-1,4-disubstituted-buta-1,3-dienes from 1-bromo-1-fluoroalkenes

A straightforward method to prepare symmetrical (1Z, 3Z)- and (1E, 3E)-2,3-difluoro-1,4-disubstituted-buta-1,3-dienes is described. High E/Z ratio 1-bromo-1-fluoroalkenes, prepared by isomerization from the E/Z ≈ 1:1 isomeric mixtures, reacted with Bu₃SnSnBu₃ and Pd(PPh₃)₄ to afford (1Z, 3Z)-2,3-difluoro-1,4-disubstituted-buta-1,3-dienes in good yield. (Z)-1-Bromo-1-fluoroalkenes, which were prepared by kinetic reduction from 1-bromo-1-fluoroalkenes (E/Z ≈ 1:1), can undergo similar reaction with Bu₃SnSnBu₃ and Pd(PPh₃)₄/CuI to prepare (1E, 3E)-2,3-difluoro-1,4-disubstituted-buta-1,3-dienes.     

The stereoselective synthesis of (E)-octafluoro-1,3,5-hexatriene and (3E,5E,7E)-dodecafluoro-1,3,5,7,9-decapentaene

(E)-(1,2-Difluoro-1,2-ethenediyl)bis[tributylstannane], 3, readily undergoes a Pd(PPh₃)₄/CuI-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with iodotrifluoroethene to yield (E)-octafluoro-1,3,5-hexatriene, 4, in high isomeric purity. (1Z,3E,5Z)-(1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexafluoro-1,3,5-hexenetriyl)bis[tributylstannane], 7, was sequentially prepared from (1Z,3E,5Z)-(1,2,3,4,5,6-hexafluoro-1,3,5-hexenetriyl)bis[triethylsilane], 5, which was prepared via a Pd(PPh₃)₄/CuI-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of 3 with (E)-1,2-difluoro-1-iodo-2-triethylsilylethene, 6. Pd(PPh₃)₄/CuI cross-coupling of 7 with iodotrifluoroethene gave (3E,5E,7E)-dodecafluoro-1,3,5,7,9-decapentaene, 8.     

Group VIII metal phosphine complexes-catalyzed addition of disilanes to allenic compounds: Formation of new organosilicon compounds containing both vinylsilane and allylsilane units

Addition of chloromethyl- and methoxymethyldisilanes, X₃-_mMe_mSiSiMe_n-X₃-_n (X - Cl and OMe;m, n - 0-2), as well as hexamethyldisilane, to allene and 1, 2-butadiene in the presence of Pd(PPh₃)₄ catalyst gave regioselectively new functionalized organosilicon compounds, 2, 3-bis(organosilyl)prop-1-enes and 2, 3-bis(organosilyl)but-1-enes, respectively. Other group VIII metal-phospine complexes also affected the reaction, but results were found to be less satisfactory. Also, the reaction of any unsymmetrical disilane with an allenic compound gave only a single product; e.g., the addition of chloropentamethyldisilane to 1, 2-butadiene in the presence of Pd(PPh₃)₄ gave CH₂-C(SiMe₃)CH(SiMe₂Cl)Me in 93% yield.     

Suzuki-type cross-coupling reaction of pentavalent triarylantimony diacetates with arylboronic acids without a base

Novel base-free Suzuki-type cross-coupling reaction by the use of triarylantimony diacetates and arylboronic acids in the presence of Pd(PPh₃)₄ catalyst led to the formation of biaryl derivatives in moderate to excellent yields. The reaction is applicable to a variety of arylboronic acids bearing base-sensitive functional groups.     

Synthesis of N-aryl trifluoromethylarylketoimines by palladium-catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction of N-aryltrifluoroacetimidoyl chlorides with aryl boronic acids

A highly efficient Suzuki reaction between N-aryltrifluoroacetimidoyl chlorides and aryl boronic acids using Pd(PPh₃)₄ as a catalyst has been developed. This route allows for selective synthesis of N-aryl trifluoromethylarylketoimines in high yields under mild reaction conditions.     

A stereoselective route to alkenyl sulfides through the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of 9-alkyl-BBN with 1-bromo-1-phenylthioethene or (E)- and (Z)-2-bromo-1-phenylthio-1-alkenes

The reaction of 9-alkyl-9-BBNs with 1-bromo-1-phenylthioethene or (E)- and (Z)-2-bromo-1-phenylthio-1-alkenes takes place readily in the presence of Pd(PPh₃)₄ and sodium hydroxide to afford stereodefined vinylic sulfides in excellent yields.

A novel one-pot synthesis of 2-arylpyrazoloquinolinone derivatives

Two regioisomers of 2-arylpyrazolo[3,4-c]quinolin-4(5H)-ones and 2-arylpyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolin-4(5H)-ones were synthesized by utilizing 3-arylsydnones, ethyl 3-bromopropynoate, and 2-aminophenylboronic acid pinacol ester in presence of catalytic agent Pd(PPh₃)₄. This efficient one-pot synthesis methodology involved 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, Suzuki coupling reaction, and intramolecular cyclization three sequence steps.     

Metal-thiophen derivatives. Organometallic compounds of palladium and platinum

Thienylmercury(II)chloride reacts with [Pd(PPh₃)₂Cl₂], [Pd(PPh₃)₄] and [Pt(PPh₃)₄] to afford new compounds containing a metal-2-thienyl linkage. The compound [Pd(PPh₃)₂(2-C₄H₃S)Cl] probably has trans stereochemistry.2-Bromothiophen undergoes oxidative addition with [Pd(PPh₃)₄] and [Pt(PPh₃)₄], probably via a radical mechanism. With [Pd(CO)(PPh₃)₃], a carbonyl inserted product is obtained. The bromo-metal(II) complexes have trans stereochemistry. The course of the reaction between 3-methyl-2-bromothiophen and Pd(PPh₃)₄ is more complex. Thus, there is evidence of some cis bromopalladium(II) compounds amongst the products, also there is good evidence to support the view that some isomerisation of 3-methyl-2-thienyl to 4-methyl-2-thienyl occurs during the reaction, thus giving greater molar quantities of [Pd(PPh₃)₂(4-CH₃-2-C₄H₂S)Br] than can be accounted for from any initial 4-methyl-2-bromothiophen impurity.The metallation of the thiophen ring, probably in the 4-position, with palladium(II) is described for 3-theylidene-4-methylaniline.     

Stereospecific approach to α,β-disubstituted nitroalkenes via coupling of α-bromonitroalkenes with boronic acids and terminal acetylenes

(Z)-α-Bromo-β-substituted nitroethylenes undergo facile Suzuki coupling with aryl, heteroaryl, and vinylboronic acids in the presence of Pd(PPh₃)₄ as catalyst to afford (E)-α,β-disubstituted nitroethylenes in high yield (up to 95%) and complete specificity. Similar coupling of α-bromonitroethylenes with terminal acetylenes (Sonogashira coupling) provides a novel route to (E)-nitroenynes. These Pd-catalyzed coupling methods offer a convenient and stereospecific entry into a diverse array of synthetically and biologically useful α,β-disubstituted nitroethylenes.     

Synthesis of a new class of bisheterocycles via the Heck reaction of eudesmane type methylene lactones with 8-bromoxanthines

The eudesmane-type methylene lactones (isoalantolactone, alantolactone, 4,15-epoxyisoalantolactone, 2′,2′-dichloro-4H-spiro[cyclopropane-1′,4-eudesma-11(13)-en-8β,12-olide], and alantolactone) react with 8-bromoxanthines (8-bromocaffeine, 8-bromotheobromine, 8-bromo-3-butyltheobromine, 8-bromotheophylline, 8-bromo-9-butyltheophylline) under Heck reaction conditions to produce the target (E)-13-(2,6-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-purin-8-yl)eudesma-4(15),11(13)-dien-8β,12-olides and the subsequent endocyclic isomers - 11-(2,6-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-purin-8-yl)-13-normethyleudecma-4(15)-7(11)-dien-8α,12-olides. It was revealed that the yield and product ratio depends on the reaction conditions and the structure of methylene lactone. The effectiveness of Pd(OAc)₂–caffeine catalytic system has been demonstrated in this reaction. The electric eel acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of the eudecmanolide-xanthine hybrids was evaluated. Among the new type bisheterocycles compound 27 with butyl and 2-oxodecahydronaphtho[2,3-b]furan-3(2H)-ylidene)methyl substituents at C-7 and C-8 of the xanthine core showed moderate activity with IC₅₀ value of 40 μM.     

Synthesis of fused dihydropyrido[e]purines via ring closing metathesis

Ring closing metathesis (RCM) of 8,9-diallylpurines or 9-butenyl-8-vinylpurines with the Grubbs 2nd generation catalyst resulted in fused 6,9- or 8,9-dihydropyrido[e]purines, respectively. The 8,9-dialkenylpurines were prepared from 8-bromopurines after 9-alkenylation and subsequent Stille coupling at C-8 with alkenylstannanes in the presence of Pd(PPh₃)₄ or Pd(PPh₃)₂Cl₂.     

Syntheses of various 5-(bromoaryl)-substituted uracils

The Suzuki Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling between arylboronic acids and aryl bromides or iodides in weakly alkaline medium, previously further developed by us, has been used for regioselective preparation of 5-(2′-bromo-5′-furyl)-, 5-(2′-bromo-4′-furyl)-, 5-(2′-bromo-5′-thienyl)-, 5-(2′-bromo-4′-thienyl)-, 5-(4′-bromo-2′-thiazolyl)-, 5-(3′-bromophenyl)-, 5-(6′-bromo-2′-pyridyl)- and 5-(4′-bromo-2′-pyrimidyl)-substituted 2,4-di-t-butoxypyrimidines. In the coupling between 2,4-di-t-butoxy-5-pyrimidineboronic acid and the nine different aryl dibromides that were tried as coupling partners, only the 2,4- and 2,5-dibromothiazoles did not give satisfactory yields, 15% and 0%, respectively. The other seven aryl dibromides gave the desired 5-(bromoaryl)-2,4-di-t-butoxypyrimidines in 58-89% yield. Attempts to synthesise 2,4-di-t-butoxy-5-(2′-bromo-4′-thienyl)pyrimidine from 2-bromo-4-iodothiophene failed. Dealkylation of the 5-(bromoaryl)-2,4-di-t-butoxypyrimidines in 2.5 M hydrochloric acid gave the corresponding 5-(bromoaryl)uracils in almost quantitative yields.     

Tris[tri(2‐thienyl)phosphine]palladium as the catalyst precursor for thiophene‐based Suzuki‐Miyaura crosscoupling and polycondensation

Zero‐valent palladium complex, Pd(PTh₃)₃, with three tri(2‐thienyl)phosphine ligands was prepared and characterized. Pd(PTh₃)₃ is superior to Pd(PPh₃)₄ in catalyzing Suzuki‐Miyaura coupling and polymerization of thiophene‐based derivatives. The Suzuki polycondensation of 3‐hexyl‐5‐iodothiophene‐2‐boronic pinacol ester with Pd(PTh₃)₃ as the catalyst precursor afforded high‐molecular‐weight P3HT with high regularity and yield. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
