Highly efficient and reusable supported pd catalysts for Suzuki-Miyaura reactions of aryl chlorides

Syntheses of air- and moisture-stable heterogeneous (tert-butylarylphosphino)polystyrene-supported Pd catalysts and their use for versatile Suzuki-Miyaura reactions of aryl chlorides and arylboronic acids under non-anhydrous conditions are reported. The catalysts are easily recovered by filtration. They can be used many times (more than seven) without showing any loss of activity, and the amount of Pd leached is extremely low (<0.1%).     

Synthesis of (−)-Conduritol C (1L-Cyclohex-5-ene-1,2,3/4-tetrol)

(1R, 2R, 4R)-2-endo-Cyano-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-yl acetate ((?)-7) has been transformed into the all-cis-configurated 4L -4,5,6/0-trihydroxycyclohex-2-en-1-one derivatives (?)- 12 and (?)- 19 . (?)-Conduritol C ((?)- 3 ) was derived in a stereospecific manner from (?)- 12 .
