Derivatives aryl halides

The formation of bonds to aromatic rings is the foundation of much of organic synthesis. There has been much excitement over the past several years around Pd- or Cu-mediated displacement of an aromatic halide or aryl sulfonate with an amine. Paul Knochel of the University of Munich reports (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2004,43, 897) a complementary approach, the addition of an aryl halide-derived Grignard such as 2 to the diazonium derivative 3. Aryl triflates such as 4 are efficient partners for further coupling. 

Some aryl halide derivatives of pyrazoline can undergo photocyclization. Thus, 5-(2-halogenphenyl)-l,3-diphenyl-A2-pyrazoline 120 proceeds by a simple bond homolysis from the Si state to give 2-phenylpyrazolo[l,5-/Iphenathridine 121 [171] (Scheme 2.33). 

Aryl halide derivatives of benzene and toluene have many uses in chemical synthesis as pesticides and raw materials for pesticides manufacture, solvents, and a diverse variety of other applications. These widespread uses over many decades have resulted in substantial human exposure and environmental contamination. Three example aryl halides are shown in Figure 1.17. Monochlorobenzene is a flammable liquid boiling at 132°C. It is used as a solvent, heat transfer fluid, and synthetic reagent. Used as a solvent, 1,2-dichlorobenzene is employed for degreasing hides and wool. It also serves as a synthetic reagent for dye manufacture. Bromobenzene is a liquid boiling at 156°C that is used as a solvent, motor oil additive, and intermediate for organic synthesis. 

Or//io-substituted arenes can serve as suitable templates for CH-activation. While in 4.17 the concomitant reaction of aryl palladium species with carbon electrophiles is discussed, in this paragraph we discuss the oxidation of arenes to phenol and aryl halide derivatives. 

An interesting reaetion, which is particularly valuable for the preparation of diphenyl derivatives, consists in heating copper powder or, better, copper bronze with an aryl halide (Ullmann reaction), for example ... 

The diazonium salts 145 are another source of arylpalladium com-plexes[114]. They are the most reactive source of arylpalladium species and the reaction can be carried out at room temperature. In addition, they can be used for alkene insertion in the absence of a phosphine ligand using Pd2(dba)3 as a catalyst. This reaction consists of the indirect substitution reaction of an aromatic nitro group with an alkene. The use of diazonium salts is more convenient and synthetically useful than the use of aryl halides, because many aryl halides are prepared from diazonium salts. Diazotization of the aniline derivative 146 in aqueous solution and subsequent insertion of acrylate catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2 by the addition of MeOH are carried out as a one-pot reaction, affording the cinnamate 147 in good yield[115]. The A-nitroso-jV-arylacetamide 148 is prepared from acetanilides and used as another precursor of arylpalladium intermediate. It is more reactive than aryl iodides and bromides and reacts with alkenes at 40 °C without addition of a phosphine ligandfl 16]. 

When allene derivatives are treated with aryl halides in the presence of Pd(0), the aryl group is introduced to the central carbon by insertion of one of the allenic bonds to form the 7r-allylpalladium intermediate 271, which is attacked further by amine to give the allylic amine 272. A good ligand for the reaction is dppe[182]. Intramolecular reaction of the 7-aminoallene 273 affords the pyrrolidine derivative 274[183].

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. 

They have also developed a route to 2-allenylindole derivatives (98T13929). When prop-2-ynyl carbonates (76) are reacted with 73 in the presence of palladium catalyst, a cross-coupling reaction occurs to give 77a (46%) and 77b (45%). Under a pressurized carbon monoxide atmosphere (10 atm), the palladium-catalyzed reaction of 73 with 78 provides 79a (60%) and 79b (60%) (2000H2201). In a similar reaction, when the substrate is changed to aryl halides (80), 2-aryl-1-methoxyindoles such as 81a (70%) and 81b (60%) are prepared (97H2309). 

For the synthesis of a suitable arylboron compound, usually an aryl halide is converted to an aryllithium or aryl Grignard derivative, and then reacted with a trialkoxyborane to yield an arylboronic ester, e.g. the phenylboronic acid diisopropyl ester 13 from bromobenzene 11 ... 

In a related reaction, aryl halides couple with vinyl tin reagents to form styrene derivatives in the presence of a nickel catalyst, for example, ... 

The addition of Grignard reagents to isocyanates gives, after hydrolysis, N-substituted amides. This is a very good reaction and can be used to prepare derivatives of alkyl and aryl halides. The reaction has also been performed with... 

Nolan and colleagues published in 1999 the first coupling between aryl chlorides, bromides or iodides and aryl Grignards, in which an in situ generated NHC-Pd complex served as catalyst. The reaction proceeded in most cases in excellent yields, however, very sterically hindered products formally derived from aryl halides and aryl Grignards both possessing orf/io-substituents could not be obtained [75] (Scheme 6.16). 

The utility of the stepwise, double-coupling procedure is demonstrated in the parallel synthesis of Tamoxifen derivatives on solid support [127] (Scheme 1-29). 1-Alkenylboronates thus obtained by a diboration-cross coupling sequence are further coupled with p-silyUodobenzene supported on polymer resin. Using this strategy, each position about the ethylene core is modified by the appropriate choice of alkyne, aryl halide, and cleavage conditions for the synthesis of a library of Tamoxifen derivatives.
