N-Heterocyclic carbene-palladium complex on polystyrene resin surface as polymer-supported catalyst and its application in Suzuki cross-coupling reaction

A poly(imidazoliummethyl styrene)-surface grafted-polystyrene resin was prepared by suspension polymerization. This was used as the polymer-supported carbene precursor for the palladium complex, which efficiently catalyzed the Suzuki cross-coupling of aryl halides and phenylboronic acid.     

New activated bisfluoroaromatic compounds

Bis (p-fluorophenylethynyl) derivatives were obtained by the reaction of bisbromoaromatic compounds withp-fluorophenylacetylene in the presence of a Pd catalyst. Subsequent oxidation of these products using an I₂-DMSO system led to new bis(p-fluorophenylglyoxaly)ketones, α-diketones, and heterocyclic compounds. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

An efficient palladium-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling reaction with arylvinyl iodides: facile regioselective synthesis of E-stilbenes and their analogues

A general synthetic route for the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of an arylzinc reagent with arylvinyl iodides (Negishi cross-coupling) has been developed. The system permits efficient and selective preparation of E-stilbenes and their analogues. It also functions effectively at low levels of catalyst loading without the need for an additional ligand and tolerates a wide range of functional groups including heteroaromatic substrates. A systematic study of various parameters was performed and correlated with catalyst-substrate activity.     

Reactions of organic halides with organometallic compounds and terminal acetylenes catalyzed by palladium complexes

The results of the investigation of the cross-coupling of organometallic compounds and terminal acetylenes with organic halides catalyzed by transition metal complexes are generalized and analyzed. The influence of different factors on the rate and selectivity of catalytic cross-coupling is discussed. A detailed mechanism of the cross-coupling of Grignard reagents with organic halides is suggested. The cross-coupling reaction involving organotin compounds proceeds under very mild conditions in the presence of a ligand-free Pd catalyst. Examples of using catalytic cross-coupling of organic halides with organomagnesium, organozinc, and organotin compounds are presented.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

An efficient Stille cross-coupling reaction catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2/DAB-Cy catalytic system

An efficient palladium-catalyzed Stille cross-coupling reaction has been developed. In the presence of 3 mol% of Pd(dba)₂ and 6 mol% of DAB-Cy (1,4-dicyclohexyl-diazabutadiene), various aryl halides (iodides and bromides) were coupled with organotin compounds to afford the corresponding biaryls and alkyne in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, high TONs [turnover numbers, TONs up to 950,000 for the reaction of 1-iodo-4-nitrobenzene and tributyl(phenyl)stannane] for the Stille cross-coupling reaction were observed.     

Multivariate analysis of non-homogeneous peaks in liquid chromatography

Summary The effects of concentration, separation and spectral similarity as factors influencing the accuracy of iterative target testing factor analysis (ITT-FA) are investigated for three component systems by the application of analysis of variance (ANOVAR). ANOVAR is applied over a range of peak separations to map the changing effects of the three factors with increasing overlap. Two error responses were measured and analysed, (a) Relative cluster error (RCE) a measure of the error over all peaks in a cluster and (b) Relative peak error (RPE) the error of an individual peak. Multicomponent analysis (MCA) a method requiringa priori spectral information, is used as a referee method for ITT-FA.     

Synthesis of novel mono- and diaryl-substituted [2.2]paracyclophanes

The cross-coupling reactions of 4-bromo[2.2]paracyclophane withp-tolylmagnesium bromide in the presence of various palladium and nickel complexes have been studied. It was found that [1,1 -bis(diphenylphosphinoferrocene)]palladium dichloride (PdCl₂ · dppf) shows the highest catalitic activity in this reaction. A series of new mono- and diaryl [2.2]paracyclophane derivatives with various substituents in the arene ring have been synthesized using this catalyst. It was shown that it is possible to cross-couple organozinc [2.2]paracyclophane derivatives with aromatic bromides. The composition and structure of the compounds obtained have been established on the basis of elemental analysis and spectral data. Some correlations between the structure and spectral parameters of mono- and diarylsubstituted [2.2]paracyclophanes have been found.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Stereoselective sp-sp bond formation via Negishi cross-coupling of vinylic tellurides and 2-heteroarylzinc chlorides

The Negishi cross-coupling reaction of vinylic- and aryltellurides with heteroarylzinc chlorides catalyzed by PdCl₂/CuI is described. This cross-coupling reaction is general and permits the formation of a new sp²-sp² carbon bond in good yields and high stereoselectivity.     

A telescoped Knochel-Hauser/Kumada-Corriu coupling strategy to functionalized aromatic heterocycles

The direct application of Knochel-Hauser derivative arylmagnesium halides in Kumada-Corriu couplings is described. By utilizing the in situ-generated Grignard reagents, the transmetalation with stoichiometric zinc salts to known Negishi coupling conditions is avoided, thereby streamlining the transformation. Several aromatic hetereocycles participate in the deprotonation and couple with a variety of phenyl iodides and bromides in isolated yields up to 81%. The parent system is demonstrated on 6?g scale with 79% yield, and monitored via ReactIR to show the stability of the Grignard and progression of the deprotonation/CC coupling reaction.     

Synthesis of large generation poly(propyl ether imine) (PETIM) dendrimers

Large generation poly(propyl ether imine) (PETIM) dendrimers are synthesized in iterative synthetic cycles of two reductions and two Michael addition reactions. Dendrimers up to sixth generation, containing up to 128 peripheral functionalities, are synthesized. Growth of the PETIM dendrimers, possessing a tertiary amine as the branch juncture and an ether as the linker component, is assessed systematically by routine spectroscopic methods. The peripheries of these dendrimers possess either alcohols, amines, carboxylic acids, esters, or nitriles, thereby opening up possibilities for varied studies involving PETIM dendrimers.
