Aryl derivatives Suzuki reactions

The Suzuki reaction97 allows tire coupling of two aromatic rings by reaction of an arylboronic compound with a iodo or bromo aryl derivative. The tetrakis (U iphenylphosphine) Pd is the catalyst working in the basic medium. This reaction was recently used98 in aqueous media for the preparation of different isomers of diphenyldicarboxylic acids (Fig. 5.21) but also for the synthesis of soluble rodlike polyimides99 by coupling the 3,6-diphenyl- V, V,-bis(4-bromo-... 

Ketcha has prepared l-(phenylsulfonyl)pyrrole-2-boronic acid (65) in low yield and effected Suzuki coupling reactions to afford the corresponding 2-aryl derivatives 66 [58]. 

Diazonium salts are another useful source of free radicals, and the formation of the reactive species can be achieved by reductive electrolysis or direct treatment with diazonium tetrafluoroborate salts [39]. By this route, several aryl derivatives could be introduced onto the nanotube sidewalls [40]. Aryl groups bearing halogen or alkyne functionalities are particularly interesting as they can be further reacted in Pd-catalyzed coupling reactions (Suzuki, Heck) or in click chemistry reactions to create products with great potential in materials science [41]. 

Buchwald has shown that, in combination with palladium(II) acetate or Pd2(dba)3 [tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium], the Merrifield resin-bound electron-rich dialkylphosphinobiphenyl ligand (45) (Scheme 4.29) forms the active polymer-supported catalysts for amination and Suzuki reactions [121]. Inactivated aryl iodides, bromides, or even chlorides can be employed as substrates in these reactions. The catalyst derived from ligand (45) and a palladium source can be recycled for both amination and Suzuki reactions without addition of palladium. 

However, in the absence of the copper cofactor, standard Suzuki or Stille coupling reactions prevailed, with selective replacement of the bromine rather than the methylthio group occurring to give 5-aryl derivatives 267 <2003OL4349>. 

Another example of palladium-mediated coupling is provided by the Suzuki reaction of the pyrimidodiazocine 134, which gave the arylated derivative 135 in nearly quantitative yield (Equation 5) <2005BMC5717>. 

N-Arylation of phenylpyrrolylmethanone 199 to afford A -aryl derivative 200 was performed in Suzuki reaction conditions using phenylboronic acid, Cu(ii) acetate, and pyridine (Scheme 43) <2005JME5140>. The best yields were obtained in the presence of A -methylpyrrolidone (NMP) by microwave-assisted heating (60 W, 120 °C, 3 x 50 s). Reduction of methanone 200 with LiAlH4 gave methanols 201, which were then treated with GDI to afford imidazoles 202, potent anti-Candida agents. 

The palladium-catalyzed coupling of boronic acids (as well as other boron derivatives) with aryl and vinyl halides and psendohalides is known as the Suzuki or Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. Because boron is nontoxic, this reaction has been used in pharmaceutical syntheses. In addition, hydroboration or borate substitution allows for the synthesis of virtually any desired coupling partner. For these reasons, as well as the high yields and functional group compatibility, the Suzuki reaction is the first reaction to consider for carrying out a cross coupling. Representative substrates and catalysts are shown in Scheme 17. The various bases are used to generate four-coordinate boron ate complexes that are more reactive in transmetalation. 

The Murai reaction (Scheme 4), the replacement of an ortho-CH on an aromatic ketone by an alkyl group derived from a substrate olefin, is catalyzed by a variety of Ru complexes. This C bond formation occurs via chelate directed C-H bond activation (cyclometalation) in the first step, followed by alkene insertion into RuH and reductive elimination of the alkylated ketone. In a recent example of the use of a related cyclometalation in complex organic synthesis, Samos reports catalytic arylation (Suzuki reaction) and alkenylation (Heck reaction) of alkyl segments of a synthetic intermediate mediated by Pd(II). 

An important feature of the Suzuki reaction is that it allows cr/Z Z-alkenyl or alkyl-aryl coupling of fi-a//cy/-9-borabicyclo[3.3.3]nonane derivatives with haloalkenes and haloarenes without concomitant p-hydride elimination. The required organoboranes are obtained by hydroboration of the appropriate alkenes or functionally substituted alkenes with 9-BBN. The coupling reaction tolerates the presence of functional groups in both reaction partners, thus circumventing a requirement of their prior pro-tection. ... 

Halofurans, like other aryl halides, participate in B-alkyl Suzuki reactions. Kim s group successfully coupled iodofuran 77 with alkyl 9-BBN derivative 78 to provide disubsti tilted furan 79 in 95% yield [15]. 

The Suzuki reaction of arylboronic acid derivatives with aryl halides is one of the most powerful methods for construction of an unsymmetrically substituted biaryl derivative [11, 23, 85]. Due to the importance of substituted biaryls as building blocks for pharmaceuticals, there is currently a great deal of interest in the coupling of economically attractive aryl halides with arylboronic acids [86-98]. 

Early examples of the total synthesis of naturally occurring indole alkaloids employing the Suzuki reaction include ellipticine (10) as repotted by Miller et al. [34], The aryl bromide, 6-amino-7-bromo-5,8-dimethylisoquinoline (45) was derived from 2,5-dimethylanilinc in nine steps. The Suzuki coupling of 45 with phenylboronic acid was carried out using catalytic tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium in benzene and with Na,CO, serving as the base to furnish... 

Suzuki methodology, with a 3-halotriazolopyridine and an aryl or heteroaryl boronic acid, sodium carbonate and tetrakistriphenylphosphine as catalyst, the synthesis of 3-aryl derivatives 6b-g, i, j, ha ve been described (Figure 2). In these reactions a secondary compound was also formed, the 33 -bitriazolopyridine 37 (Figure 10), as a consequence of a homocoupling Ullman reaction. From 7-bromo-3-methyl-triazolopyridine, the synthesis of some 7-aryl derivatives 7a-g in very good yields (60-90%) was also reported (Figure 2) (06TL8101). 

In addition to alkenes, a variety of aryl derivatives can be used to terminate the reaction sequence by an aryl-aryl coupling. An efficient variant makes use of aryl-boronic acids, which undergo a Suzuki-type coupling as discussed in Sect. III.2.2 (Scheme 12).
