Alkenyl halides Suzuki cross-coupling

The cross-coupling of boron compounds with aryl or alkenyl halides (Suzuki coupling) was used for the preparation of polycyclic aromatic compounds in a biphasic reaction medium. For example, 2-bromobenzonitrile and 4-methylphenylboronic acid gave 4-methyl-2"-cyanobiphenyl in good jdeld with Pd/TPPTS catalyst at 80°C in a toluene-ethanol-aqueous Na2C03 solvent mixture (Scheme 37). The product, isolated by phase separation, was free of metal or ligand impurities and the catalyst could be recycled in the aqueous phase (208). 

Transition metal-catalyzed transformations are of major importance in synthetic organic chemistry [1], This reflects also the increasing number of domino processes starting with such a reaction. In particular, Pd-catalyzed domino transformations have seen an astounding development over the past years with the Heck reaction [2] - the Pd-catalyzed transformation of aryl halides or triflates as well as of alkenyl halides or triflates with alkenes or alkynes - being used most often. This has been combined with another Heck reaction or a cross-coupling reaction [3] such as Suzuki, Stille, and Sonogashira reactions. Moreover, several examples have been published with a Tsuji-Trost reaction [lb, 4], a carbonylation, a pericyclic or an aldol reaction as the second step. 

The palladium-catalyzed coupling of boronic acids with aryl and alkenyl halides, the Suzuki reaction, is one of the most efficient C-C cross-coupling processes used in reactions on polymeric supports. These coupling reactions requires only gentle heating to 60-80 °C and the boronic acids used are nontoxic and stable towards air and water. The mild reaction conditions have made this reaction a powerful and widely used tool in the organic synthesis. When the Suzuki reaction is transferred to a solid support, the boronic add can be immobilized or used as a liquid reactant Carboni and Carreaux recently reported the preparation of the macroporous support that can be employed to efficiently immobilize and transform functionalized arylboronic adds (Scheme 3.12) [107, 246, 247]. 

The Suzuki Coupling, which is the palladium-catalysed cross coupling between organoboronic acid and halides. Recent catalyst and methods developments have broadened the possible applications enormously, so that the scope of the reaction partners is not restricted to aryls, but includes alkyls, alkenyls and alkynyls. Potassium trifluoroborates and organoboranes or boronate esters may be used in place of boronic acids. Some pseudohalides (for example triflates) may also be used as coupling partners.

Like hydroalumination and hydrozirconation, hydroboration of alkynes also provides a convenient and Stereospecific route to alkenyl metal reagents. However, initial attempts to achieve palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of alkenylboranes with alkenyl halides were unsuccessful, due to the poor carbanionic character of these reagents. Later, Suzuki discovered that the desired transformation could be effected in the presence of an alkoxide or hydroxide base weaker bases, such as sodium acetate or triethylamine, were not generally effective. The reaction is suitable for the preparation of ( , )-, ( ,Z)- and (Z,Z)-dienes. Since reactions of alkenylboronates are higher yielding than those of alkenylboranes, the recent availability of (Z)-l-alkenylboronates " substantially improves the Suzuki method for the preparation of (Z)-alkenes. An extension of the methodology to the synthesis of trisubstituted alkenes has also been reported. " ...

Cross-coupling reactions have also been examined in water using amphiphilic PS-PEG resin-supported palladium complexes. Palladium-catalyzed coupling of aryl halides with aryl(or alkenyl)boronic acids (the so-called Suzuki-Miyaura coupling) took place in aqueous alkaline solution in the presence of polymeric catalyst 59 at 25 °C to give the biaryls in excellent yields [90,...

In spite of these challenges, Suzuki and Miyaura [98] reported the first catalytic system in 1986 to cross-couple an alkylborane with aryl and alkenyl halides. Since...
