Aldehydes aryl halides

Since Wakamatsu serendipitously discovered amidocarbonylation while performing the cobalt-catalyzed hydroformyla-tion of olefins in 1971, this unique carbonylation reaction, affording a-amino acids directly from aldehydes, has been extensively studied.More recently, palladium-catalyzed processes have been developed to expand the scope of this reaction.The Pd-catalyzed amidocarbonylation has been applied to aldehydes,aryl halides, and imines. As a related reaction, lactamization " of aryl halides catalyzed by a rhodium complex has also been developed. 

When allylic alcohols are used as an alkene component in the reaction with aryl halides, elimination of /3-hydrogen takes place from the oxygen-bearing carbon, and aldehydes or ketones are obtained, rather than y-arylated allylic alcohoIs[87,88]. The reaction of allyl alcohol with bromobenzene affords dihydrocinnamaldehyde. The reaction of methallyl alcohol (96) with aryl halides is a good synthetic method for dihydro-2-methylcinnamaldehyde (97). 

The presence of a halogen may indicate a haloid salt of a base, alky-l, alkylcue, or aryl halide, add halide, haloid derivative of an aldehyde or aad. Some substances, like mustard oils, amino- uilphonic atids and thioamides, contain both nitiogen and sulphur. 

The palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of aryl halides in the presence of various nucleophiles is a convenient method for synthesizing various aromatic carbonyl compounds (e.g., acids, esters, amides, thioesters, aldehydes, and ketones). Aromatic acids bearing different aromatic fragments and having various substituents on the benzene ring have been prepared from aryl iodides at room temperature under 1 atm... 

The catalytic process is also achieved in the Pd(0)/Cr(II)-mediated coupling of organic halides with aldehydes (Scheme 33) [74], Oxidative addition of a vinyl or aryl halide to a Pd(0) species, followed by transmetallation with a chromium salt and subsequent addition of the resulting organo chromate to an aldehyde, leads to the alcohol 54. The presence of an oxophile [Li(I) salts or MesSiCl] allows the cleavage of the Cr(III) - 0 bond to liberate Cr(III), which is reduced to active Cr(II) on the electrode surface.

Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi (NHK) reactions215,216 are well known and often employed as a useful method for the synthesis of natural products by coupling of allyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, and aryl halides or triflates with aldehydes. The organochromium reagents are prepared from the corresponding halides or triflates and chromium(ll) chloride, and are employed in polar aprotic solvents (THF, DMF, DMSO, etc.). Subsequently, it was found that nickel salts exhibited a significant catalytic effect on the formation of the C-Cr bond217,218 (Equation (19)). 

Carbon monoxide rapidly inserts into the carbon—zirconium bond of alkyl- and alkenyl-zirconocene chlorides at low temperature with retention of configuration at carbon to give acylzirconocene chlorides 17 (Scheme 3.5). Acylzirconocene chlorides have found utility in synthesis, as described elsewhere in this volume [17]. Lewis acid catalyzed additions to enones, aldehydes, and imines, yielding a-keto allylic alcohols, a-hydroxy ketones, and a-amino ketones, respectively [18], and palladium-catalyzed addition to alkyl/aryl halides and a,[5-ynones [19] are examples. The acyl complex 18 formed by the insertion of carbon monoxide into dialkyl, alkylaryl, or diaryl zirconocenes may rearrange to a r 2-ketone complex 19 either thermally (particularly when R1 = R2 = Ph) or on addition of a Lewis acid [5,20,21]. The rearrangement proceeds through the less stable... 

In addition, arylthiophene 70 was obtained by a one-pot Suzuki coupling of p-methoxyiodobenzene and 3-bromothiophene via an in situ boronate formation using one equivalent of the thermally stable diborane 69 [55], This method avoids the isolation of boronic acids and is advantageous when base-sensitive groups such as aldehyde, nitriles and esters are present. However, the cross-coupling yields are low when both aryl halides are electron-poor because of competitive homocoupling during the reaction.

While C-C bond formation via metallation and alkyl or aryl halides is well known (COMC (1982) 5.4.2.7.5), the C-C bond formation with TBAF and aldehyde, enones, or enals is new (Figure 9).318 Carboranyl groups can actually be used as protecting groups for aldehydes and ketones due to the facile cleavage of the cage C-C(OH) bond with... 

Further, a large number of examples with simple alkyl substituents [168, 171, 176-184], cyclic alkanes [185], aryl substituents [177, 186-192], olefmic substituents [78, 177, 193-196], deuterated compounds [172], thioether groups [171], ester groups [197], orthoesters [198, 199], acetals [168, 182, 200-204], silyl-protected alcohols [198, 205-211], aldehydes [212], different heterocycles [213-217], alkyl halides [218, 219] and aryl halides [192, 220-223] have been reported. A representative example is the reaction of 92, possessing a free hydroxyl group, an acetal and a propargylic ether, to 93 [224] (Scheme 1.40). 

The proposed mechanism involves the usual oxidative addition of the aryl halide to the Pd(0) complex affording a Pd(II) intermediate (Ar-Pd-Hal), subsequent coordination of allene 8 and migratory insertion of the allene into the Pd-C bond to form the jt-allylpalladium(II) species 123. A remarkable C-C bond cleavage of 123 leads by decarbopalladation to 1,3-diene 120 and a-hydroxyalkylpalladium species 124. /8-H elimination of 124 affords aldehyde 121 and the H-Pd-Hal species, which delivers Pd(0) again by reaction with base (Scheme 14.29). The originally expected cyclization of intermediate 123 by employment of the internal nucleophilic hydroxyl group to form a pyran derivative 122 was observed in a single case only (Scheme 14.29). 

Formylation of an alkyl or aryl halide to the homologous aldehyde by transformation to the corresponding organometallic reagent then addition of DMF (M = Li, Mg, Na, and K). 

This method is of quite general applicability and the carbonyl compound may be an aldehyde, a ketone, or an ester. Similarly, the halide may be chloride, bromide, or iodide although yields are generally lower with iodides. Alkyl and aryl halides react with equal facility and the alkyl halide may be primary, secondary, or tertiary. A few examples of the yields obtained with a variety of reagents are given in Table I (the yields quoted are obtained by g.l.c. analysis of the reaction mixture using an internal standard ).
