The palladium-catalysed arylation of activated alkenes with aroyl chlorides

Aroyl chlorides react with activated alkenes in presence of a tertiary amine and a catalytic amount of palladium acetate to give arylated alkenes, specifically cinnamic acid derivatives and stilbenes. The reaction involves a highly efficient decarbonylation of the aroyl chloride. High yields can be obtained at low catalyst concentration by choice of an appropriate base. The reaction is not particularly sensitive to substituents in the aroyl chloride, although strongly electron-donating groups are advantageous (yields up to 98%). With mono-substituted alkenes E-isomers are formed with almost complete specificity. A mechanism for the reaction is proposed.     

Palladium-catalyzed furylation and thienylation of activated alkenes with 2-furoyl chloride and 2-thenoyl chloride

2-Furoyl or 2-thenoyl chlorides readily react with activated alkenes in the presence of a tertiary amine and a catalytic amount of palladium(II) acetate to give 2-furylated or 2-thienylated alkenes. Under similar conditions, 2-benzofuroyl chloride undergoes facile alkenylation to produce 2-alkenylated benzofurans. The reaction involves a highly efficient decarbonylation of furoyl or thenoyl-palladium species.     

Homogeneous palladium-catalysed arylation of activated alkenes with aryl chlorides

A study has been made of arylation of activated alkenes with aryl chlorides homogeneously catalysed by palladium acetate in the presence of triphenylphosphine or tri-p-tolylphosphine. Electron-withdrawing substituents in the aryl chloride favour the reaction. Only moderate yields could be obtained, and the maximum turnover number was 51, mainly because of precipitation of palladium metal. The probable mechanism of the reaction is discussed.

Oxidative heck-type reaction involving cleavage of a carbon-phosphorus bond of arylphosphonic acids

Cleavage of a carbon-phosphorus bond is achieved under palladium catalysis in an oxidative Heck-type reaction which exploits arylphosphonic acids. The reaction of arylphosphonic acids with alkenes provides arylation products in good yields in the presence of TBAF with trimethylamine oxide as an oxidant.     

Intermolecular Heck Coupling with Hindered Alkenes Directed by Potassium Carboxylates

Pd⁰‐catalyzed Mizoroki–Heck reactions traditionally exhibit poor reactivity with polysubstituted, unbiased alkenes. Intermolecular reactions with simple, all‐carbon tetrasubstituted alkenes are unprecedented. Herein we report that pendant carboxylic acids, combined with bulky monophospine ligands on palladium, can direct the arylation of tri‐ and tetrasubstituted olefins. Quaternary carbons are established at high Fsp³ attached‐ring junctures and the carboxylate directing group can be removed after coupling. Carboxylate directivity prevents over‐arylation of the new, less substituted alkene, which can be diversified in subsequent reactions.     

Palladium(II)‐N‐Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes: Efficient Catalysts for the Direct C‐H Bond Arylation of Furans with Aryl Halides

This paper contains the synthesis and characterization of the seven new benzimidazolium salts and their corresponding new palladium(II)‐NHC complexes with the general formula [PdX₂(NHC)₂], (NHC = N‐heterocyclic carbene, X = Cl or Br), and also their catalytic activity in direct C‐H bond arylation of 2‐substituted furan derivatives with aryl bromides and aryl chlorides. Under the optimal conditions, these palladium(II)‐NHC complexes showed the good catalytic performance for the direct C‐H bond arylation of 2‐substituted furans with (hetero)aryl bromides, and with readily available and inexpensive aryl chlorides. The C‐H bond arylation regioselectively produced C5‐arylated furans by using 1 mol% of the palladium(II)‐NHC catalysts in moderate to high yields.     

Polymer-supported 2,2′-dipyridylmethane: catalytic activity of transition metal complexes in hydrogenations and oligomerizations

The palladium(II) acetate complex of the chelating ligand 2,2′-dipyridylmethane supported on polystyrene-2% divinylbenzene is an efficient catalyst for hydrogenation of alkenes and alkynes. Cyclopentadiene can be reduced with high selectivity to cyclopentene, but no selectivity is observed for the non-conjugated diene 1,5-cyclooctadiene. In the hydrogenation of 3-methylcyclohex-2-en-1-ol only small amounts of ketone are formed as a by-product, in contrast to the reaction catalysed by palladium on charcoal. Nickel(II) complexes of the same ligand catalyze the trimerization of butadiene to 1,5,9-cyclododecatrienes.     

Organoboranes for synthesis. 10.1 the base-induced reaction of bromine with organoboranes. A convenient procedure for the conversion of alkenes into alkyl bromides via hydroboration

The reaction of trialkylboranes with bromine is greatly accelerated by base. Bromination in the presence of sodium hydroxide provides alkyl bromide along with a large amount of the corresponding alcohol. The use of sodium methoxide as a base eliminates this undesirable sidereaction and provides an improved yield of alkyl bromide. Consequently, hydroboration, followed by bromination in the presence of sodium methoxide, provides a convenient new procedure for the conversion of alkenes into alkyl bromides. The organoboranes, obtained via hydroboration of terminal alkenes, react with the utilization of all three alkyl groups attached to boron, providing nearly quantitative yields of alkyl bromides. This procedure also accommodates common organic functional groups, as demonstrated by the preparation of methyl 11-bromoundecanoate and 11-bromoundecyl acetate from the corresponding functionally substituted alkenes. Under these conditions, secondary and bulky primary alkyl groups react more sluggishly. However, a procedure involving simultaneous addition of bromine and methanolic sodium methoxide provides improved results for such derivatives. Surprisingly, the base-induced bromination of tri-exo-norbomylborane results in an inversion of configuration at the reaction center to give predominantlyendo-2-bromonorbomane. A mechanism is proposed to account for this remarkable inversion.     

Mono- and beta,beta-double-Heck reactions of alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds in aqueous media

Optimized reaction conditions for the mono- and beta,beta-diarylation of electron-deficient alkenes in aqueous media catalyzed either by a p-hydroxyacetophenone oxime-derived palladacycle or by palladium(II) acetate under phosphine-free conditions and in the presence of (dicyclohexyl)methylamine as base are described. Regioselective monoarylation of unsubstituted and substituted alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds takes place with aryl iodides at 120 degrees C in water. Aqueous N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA), tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (TBAB) as additive, and the palladacycle as catalyst are the most efficient conditions for the coupling with aryl bromides, good stereoselectivities being also obtained in the arylation of crotonates and itaconates, whereas cinnamic derivatives afford lower steroselectivity, with the exception of cinnamic acid and nitrile. beta,beta-Diarylation of unsubstituted alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds can be controlled by using higher loading of the palladacycle and can be performed in refluxing water for aryl iodides, whereas DMA must be used for aryl bromides. Microwave irradiation can be used in the monoarylation of tert-butyl acrylate with aryl iodides in water or the coupling between ethyl cinnamate and aryl bromides in aqueous DMA.     

The mechanism of reactions of organopalladium salts with vinylcyclopropanes

Cyclopropylmercuric chloride, lithium chloropalladite and methyl acrylate react at 0–25°C to give an 81% yield of methyl sorbate. A π-allylic palladium intermediate is proposed since vinylcyclopropane, carbomethoxymercuric acetate, and lithium chloropalladate give the same product. The corresponding reactions with styrene and cyclopropylmercuric chloride or vinylcyclopropane and phenylmercuric chloride also give the same, isolable π-allylic palladium complex. Deuterium labeling experiments support the occurrence of a common intermediate in the two reactions. 1,1-Dicarboethoxy-2-vinylcyclopropane reacts similarly with “phenylpalladium chloride” but the π-allylic product has the palladium attached at the benzyl carbon rather than the next carbon away. The reaction with “phenylpalladium acetate” in place of the chloride yields only dienes. Studies with the deuterated vinylcyclopropane diester suggest that the mode of elimination from the initial palladium adduct is strongly influenced by the anion present. The reaction of “cyclopropylpalladium chloride” with alkenes appears to be a general method for preparing, selectively, internal π-allylic palladium complexes.     

The first MCM-41-supported thioether palladium(0) complex: A highly active and stereoselective catalyst for Heck arylation of olefins with aryl halides

The first MCM-41-supported thioether palladium(0) complex has been synthesized from 3-(2-cyanoethylsulfanyl)propyltriethoxysilane via immobilization on MCM-41, followed by reacting with palladium chloride, and then the reduction with hydrazine hydrate. It was found that this complex has not only high activity and stereoselectivity for arylation reaction of conjugated alkenes with aryl iodides or activated aryl bromides, but also can efficiently catalyze the arylation reaction of conjugated alkenes with unactivated bromoarenes. This polymeric palladium catalyst can be easily recovered from the products and reused at least 10 times without loss of activity.     

Phenylation of Organic Derivatives of Mercury,Silicon, Tin,and Bismuth with Pentaphenylantimony and Pentaphenylphosphorus

Pentaphenylantimony and -phosphorus react with arylmercury chlorides in toluene at room temperature to give diaryl derivatives of mercury in yields of up to 95%. The reactions of pentaphenylantimony and -phosphorus with silicon and tin halides involve arylation of the latter in yields of up to 79%. The products of the reaction of pentaphenylphosphorus with triphenylbismuth dihalides are tetraphenylphosphorus halides, triphenylbismuth, and halobenzene.     

Synthesis of diarylmethane derivatives from Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of benzylic halides with arylboronic acids

A simple catalyst precursor prepared in situ from palladium acetate and triphenylphosphine shows high activity for the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of benzylic bromides and chlorides with aryl boronic acids. The reaction can be carried out at low catalyst loading (0.002-1 mol%) and under mild conditions (room temperature to 80 °C) furnishing diarylmethane derivatives in high yields (86-99%).     

Palladium-catalyzed indole, pyrrole, and furan arylation by aryl chlorides

The palladium-catalyzed direct arylation of indoles, pyrroles, and furans by aryl chlorides has been demonstrated. The method employs a palladium acetate catalyst, 2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)-biphenyl ligand, and an inorganic base. Electron-rich and electron-poor aryl chlorides as well as chloropyridine coupling partners can be used, and arylated heterocycles are obtained in moderate to good yields. Optimization of base, ligand, and solvent is required for achieving best results.     

Palladium-catalyzed addition of hydroxylamine derivatives to Baylis-Hillman acetate adducts

The first use of hydroxylamine derivatives as the aminoxy equivalent of nucleophiles in palladium catalyzed addition to Baylis-Hillman acetate adducts is described. The reaction proceeds smoothly to give the substituted allyloxy amines in good yield and selectivity.     

Olefinic substitution reaction catalyzed by sulfur-containing polymeric palladium complexes

Silica-supported sulfur-containing polymeric palladium complexes were synthesized by the coordination of sulfur-containing polymeric ligands with palladium acetate or palladium chloride. The activated alkenes were reacted selectively with iodobenzene in the presence of tertiary amines and polymeric palladium complexes containing sulfur to give phenyl-substituted derivatives. High yields can be obtained under appropriate conditions with a low catalyst concentration. The sulfur-containing polymeric palladium complexes showed higher activities and better selectivities and stabilities than the corresponding phosphine-containing systems.     

Palladium-catalyzed desulfitative Mizoroki-Heck couplings of sulfonyl chlorides with mono- and disubstituted olefins: rhodium-catalyzed desulfitative heck-type reactions under phosphine- and base-free conditions

New conditions have been found for the desulfitative Mizoroki-Heck arylation and trifluoromethylation of mono- and disubustituted olefins with arenesulfonyl and trifluoromethanesulfonyl chlorides. Thus (E)-1,2-disubstituted alkenes with high stereoselectivity and 1,1,2-disubstituted alkenes with 12:1 to 21:1 E/Z steroselectivity can be obtained. Herrmann's palladacycle at 0.1 mol % is sufficient to catalyze these reactions, for which electron-rich or electron-poor sulfonyl chlorides and alkenes are suitable. If phosphine- and base-free conditions are required, 1 mol % [RhCl(C(2)H(4))(2)] catalyzes the desulfitative cross-coupling reactions. Contrary to results reported for [RuCl(2)(PPh(3))(2)]-catalyzed coupling reactions with sulfonyl chlorides, the palladium and rhodium desulfitative Mizoroki-Heck coupling reactions are not inhibited by radical scavenging agents. Possible sulfones arising from the sulfonylation of alkenes at 60 degrees C are not desulfitated at higher temperatures in the presence of the Pd or Rh catalysts.
