A variety of triazole-based monophosphines (ClickPhos) 141 have been prepared via efficient 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of readily available azides and acetylenes and their palladium complexes provided excellent yields in the amination reactions and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions of unactivated aryl chlorides <06JOC3928>. A novel P,N-type ligand family (ClickPhine) is easily accessible using the Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction and was tested in palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation reactions <06OL3227>. Novel chiral ligands, (S)-(+)-l-substituted aryl-4-(l-phenyl) ethylformamido-5-amino-1,2,3-triazoles 142,... 

An efficient synthesis of functionalized carbazoles was developed by the palladium-catalyzed annulation of a variety of internal alkynes. This reaction involves arylpalladation of the alkyne, followed by intramolecular Heck olefination, and double bond isomerization. The iodoindole 588 reacts with the alkyne 589 in the presence of a catalytic amount of palladium(O) to give substituted carbazoles 590. In this reaction two new C-C bonds are formed in a single step. Higher reaction temperatures were necessary due to the low reactivity of the iodoindole (566) (Scheme 5.29). 

These two fragments arc joined with a palladium-catalyzed alkyne coupling reaction. 

The alkyne insertion reaction is terminated by anion capture. As examples of the termination by the anion capture, the alkenylpalladium intermediate 189, formed by the intramolecular insertion of 188, is terminated by hydrogenolysis with formic acid to give the terminal alkene 192. Palladium formate 190 is formed, and decarboxylated to give the hydridopalladium 191, reductive elimination of which gives the alkene 192 [81]. Similarly the intramolecular insertion of 193 is terminated by transmetallation of 194 with the tin acetylide 195 (or alkynyl anion capture) to give the dienyne 196 [82], Various heterocyclic compounds are prepared by heteroannulation using aryl iodides 68 and 69, and internal alkynes. Although the mechanism is not clear, alkenylpalladiums, formed by insertion of alkynes, are trapped by nucleophiles... 

Pyrroles and thiophenes have been found to react with alkynes in the presence of dinuclear palladium complexes with high cis stereoselectivity in almost all cases. Whereas regioselectivity in the reaction with pyrroles depends on the substituents on the nitrogen atom and alkynes, all reactions of thiophenes afforded 2-alkenylthiophenes.85... 

In 2006, Li and Wang reported the palladium-free, silver-catalyzed Sonogashira-type coupling of aryl halides and terminal alkynes. The reaction proceeds in high yield in the presence of catalytic silver iodide, triphenylphosphine, and potassium carbonate. Although the mechanism remains unclear, it is evident that the silver acetylide has a role, as the acetylide is formed on mixing of the reagents (Scheme 1.54).122... 

Similarly, palladium phosphite complexes catalyze the addition of B—Si bonds of silylboranes to alkynes the reaction is a typical cis addition with high regioselectivity.44... 

A variation of this aryl-alkyne coupling reaction reacted methylthioalkynes (R—C=C—SMe) with arylboronic acids and a palladium catalyst to give the aryl alkyne (R—C=C—Ar). 1-TrialkyIsilylalkynes (R3Si—C=C—R ) were coupled... 

Addition of a variety of nucleophiles to rf-alkene and alkyne ligands has been investigated, particularly when these ligands are complexed with iron and palladium. Reactions shown in equation 8.39 demonstrate well the typical stereochemistry resulting from the trans mode of attack by external nucleophiles on t 2—7t systems.56 Careful analysis of the reaction of amines with ( )- and (Z)-2-butenyl iron complexes (the CpFe(CO)2 group is abbreviated Fp, which is pronounced fip ) showed the stereochemistry to be cleanly anti.51... 

A route in which a synthon for such a dialdehyde is central depends on ortho lithiation of an aryl bromide for conversion to ortho bromoaryl aldehyde, then palladium-catalysed replacement of the halide with an alkyne, subsequent reaction with ammonia producing the isoquinoline. The sequence below shows how this type of approach can be used to produce naphthyridine mono-A-oxides by reaction of the alkynyl-aldehyde with hydroxylamine instead of ammonia. 

Palladium-catalyzed reactions have been widely investigated and have become an indispensable synthetic tool for constructing carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds in organic synthesis. Especially, the Tsuji-Trost reaction and palladium(II)-catalyzed cyclization reaction are representative of palladium-catalyzed reactions. These reactions are based on the electrophilic nature of palladium intermediates, such as n-allylpalladium and (Ti-alkyne)palladium complexes. Recently, it has been revealed that certain palladium intermediates, such as bis-7i-allylpalladium, vinylpalladium, and arylpalladium, act as a nucleophile and react with electron-deficient carbon-heteroatom and carbon-carbon multiple bonds [1]. Palladium-catalyzed nucleophilic reactions are classified into three categories as shown in Scheme 1 (a) nucleophilic and amphiphilic reactions of bis-n-allylpalladium, (b) nucleophilic reactions of allylmetals, which are catalytically generated from n-allylpalladium, with carbon-heteroatom double bonds, and (c) nucleophilic reaction of vinyl- and arylpalladium with carbon-heteroatom multiple bonds. According to this classification, recent developments of palladium-catalyzed nucleophilic reactions are described in this chapter. 

Palladium catalysis has been shown to be effective in inducing thermodynamically favorable and selective alkene and alkyne isomerization reactions. Aside from the formation of stereoisomeric mixtures, these reactions can be both selective and high-yielding and hence synthetically useful.
