Aryl iodides acetate

Mercuration-Thallation. Mercuric acetate and thallium ttifluoroacetate react with benzene to yield phenyHnercuric acetate [62-38-4] or phenylthaHic ttifluoroacetate. The arylthalHum compounds can be converted iato phenols, nitriles, or aryl iodides (31). 

The original conditions used amines as solvents or cosolvents. Several other bases can replace the amine. Tetrabutylammonium hydroxide or fluoride can be used in THF (see Entry 1 in Scheme 8.11).163 Tetrabutylammonium acetate is also effective with aryl iodides and EWG-substituted aryl bromides (Entry 2).164 Use of alkenyl halides in this reaction has proven to be an effective method for the synthesis of enynes165 (see also Entries 5 and 6 in Scheme 8.11). 

A palladium catalyst with a less electron-rich ligand, 2,2-dipyridyl-methylamine-based palladium complexes (4.2), is effective for coupling of aryl iodides or bromides with terminal alkynes in the presence of pyrrolidine and tetrabutylammonium acetate (TBAB) at 100°C in water.37 However, the reactions were shown to be faster in NMP solvent than in water under the reaction conditions. Palladium-phosphinous acid (POPd) was also reported as an effective catalyst for the Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction of aryl alkynes with aryl iodides, bromides, or chlorides in water (Eq. 4.18).38... 

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. 

The electrochemical allylation of carbonyl compounds by electroreductivc regeneration of a diallyltin reagent from allyl bromide and a Sn species leads to formation of homoallylic alcohols in yields of 70-90 % even in methanol or methanol/water (Table 7, No. 12) Bisaryl formation is possible also from aryl iodides or bromides in the presence of electro-generated Pd phosphane complexes (Table 7, No. 13) In the presence of styrenes, 1,3-butadienes, or phenyl acetylene the products of ArH addition are formed in this way (Table 7, No. 14) . The electroreductivc cleavage of allylic acetates is also possible by catalysis of an Pd°-complex (Table K No. 15)... 

Polystyrene-bound secondary aliphatic amines and /V-alkyl amino acids can be ally-lated by treatment with a diene and an aryl iodide or bromide in the presence of palla-dium(II) acetate (Entry 14, Table 10.3). As the diene, 1,3-, 1,4-, and 1,5-dienes can be used, and, besides aryl halides, heteroaryl bromides have also been successfully used [63], This remarkable reaction is likely to proceed via the formation of an aryl palladium complex, with subsequent insertion of an alkene into the C-Pd bond. The resulting organopalladium compound does not undergo ( -elimination (as in the Heck reaction), but isomerizes to an allyl palladium complex, which reacts with the amine to give the observed allyl amines. 

Synthesis of the benzopyran ring has also been performed by microwave-assisted copper-catalysed cross coupling of an aryl iodide with terminal alkynes, in the presence of copper(I) iodide/triphenylphosphine (Scheme 3.35)56. An alternative approach involving microwave heating of mixtures of salicylaldehyde and various derivatives of ethyl acetate in the presence of piperidine has enabled rapid Knoevenagel synthesis of coumarin derivatives (Scheme 3.35)57. 

Access to the 1,3-benzazepinone 39 has been achieved from aryl iodide 38 with a Pd(0) catalyst, followed by cyclization of the intermediate palladium complex upon reaction with thallium acetate, thus providing a convenient approach to the fused seven-membered ring system (Equation 5) <1998ICA(270)123>. 

Ullmann reaction (4, 33-34). Semmelhack et al.1 recorded details of the coupling of aryl and vinyl halides with Ni(0) complexes, (COD)2Ni or Ni[P(C6H5)3]4. This reaction was used for the first synthesis of almusone (3), an antileukemic lignan obtained from the wood of Alnus japonica Steud. In the case of ort/io-substituted aryl iodides such as 1, reduction becomes a competing reaction and the yields are only moderate. In fact o,o-disubstituted aryl halides cannot be coupled under these conditions. Deliberate addition of a proton source increases formation of the reduction product. Acetic or trifluoroacetic acid are useful for this purpose. Added triphenyl-phosphine also promotes reduction. 

Arylcycloalkenes.10 These products can be obtained by Pd-catalyzed coupling of aryl iodides and cycloalkenes (5 equiv.) in DMF containing tetrabutylammo-nium chloride and KOAc (2 equiv.) Other acetate bases are less effective. A large excess of the cycloalkene is required to effect monoarylation. 

Aryl-vinyl coupling fi-aryl-fi-amino acids.2 A novel route to P-amino acids is based on the formal conjugate addition of an aryl iodide to an enantiomerically pure dihydropyrimidinone such as 1, prepared by pivaldehyde acetalization of (R)-aspara-gine (c/., 14, 69-70). Thus 4-iodoanisole couples with 1 under Heck conditions, Pd(OAc)2, Ar3P, triethylamine, and DMF to give 2 in 78% yield. Reduction of 2... 

Over 35 years ago, Richard F. Heck found that olefins can insert into the metal-carbon bond of arylpalladium species generated from organomercury compounds [1], The carbopalladation of olefins, stoichiometric at first, was made catalytic by Tsutomu Mizoroki, who coupled aryl iodides with ethylene under high pressure, in the presence of palladium chloride and sodium carbonate to neutralize the hydroiodic acid formed (Scheme 1) [2], Shortly thereafter, Heck disclosed a more general and practical procedure for this transformation, using palladium acetate as the catalyst and tri-w-butyl amine as the base [3], After investigations on stoichiometric reactions by Fitton et al. [4], it was also Heck who introduced palladium phosphine complexes as catalysts, enabling the decisive extension of the ole-fination reaction to inexpensive aryl bromides [5],... 

These fundamental steps of the catalytic cycle have been confirmed by stoichiometric reactions starting from isolated stable complexes, and by DFT calculations [11], Although many aspects of the Heck olefination can be rationalized by this textbook mechanism , it provides no explanation of the pronounced influence that counter-ions of Pd(II) pre-catalysts or added salts have on catalytic activity [12], This led Amatore and Jutand to propose a slightly different reaction mechanism [13]. They revealed that the preformation of the catalytically active species from Pd(II) salts does not lead to neutral Pd(0)L2 species a instead, three-coordinate anionic Pd(0)-complexes g are formed (Scheme 3, top). They also observed that on the addition of aryl iodides la to such an intermediate g, a new species forms quantitatively within seconds and the solution remains free of iodide and acetate anions. It may then take several minutes before the expected stable, four-... 

Me3SiCN is a convenient, reactive cyanide donor in transition metal-catalyzed processes. The Pd-catalyzed reaction of aryl iodides with Me3SiCN is useful for the synthesis of aryl cyanides.257 Me3SiCN works also as an effective co-catalyst for the Pd-catalyzed cyanation of aryl iodides with KCN.258 Allylic acetates, carbonates, and the related compounds undergo the Pd-catalyzed cyanation with Me3SiCN.259-261 The tandem cyclization-cyanation reaction of 2-bromo-l,6-heptadienes with Me3SiCN proceeds under catalysis by an Ni complex (Equation (68)).262... 

Indium metal in water reduces a-halocarbonyl compounds and benzyl iodides to the corresponding dehalogenated products in excellent yields under sonication, though simple alkyl and aryl iodides remain inert under these conditions (Equation (97)).379 Similar dehalogenation in micellar systems in the presence of a catalytic amount of sodium dodecyl sulfate in water affords the corresponding parent carbonyl compounds in excellent yields (Equation (98)).380 The allylic iodide or acetate is reduced by indium into the corresponding 3-methylcephems and 3-methylenecephams in an aqueous system. The latter are converted into the former quantitatively under basic conditions (Scheme 110).381... 

The cyclization of aryl iodide 322 with a Pd(0) catalyst and thallium acetate provides a convenient approach to the 1,3-benzazepinone system 323 (Scheme 174) <1998ICA123, CHEC-III(13.08.4.1.3)249>. 

Likewise, Lautens and coworkers have demonstrated the strength of the concept of sequential alkylation-alkenylation by application to the synthesis of fused aromatic rings. Hence, in the presence of 10% of Pd acetate, 20% of tri-2-furylphosphane, two equivalents of norbornene, and two equivalents of cesium carbonate, bromoenoates and related derivatives, ortho-substituted aryl iodides react in boiling acetonitrile in the sense of a Pd-catalyzed ortho-alkylation-intramolecular Heck reaction to furnish fused aromatic carbocy-cles 47-53 in moderate to excellent yields (Scheme 17) [74]. 

In the following scheme, the benzo[Z>]furan core of antibiotic erypoegin H was built up by a PtCL-catalyzed cycloisomerization of or// o-alkynylphenyl-0,(9-acetals <07AGE4760>. A similar type of reaction was applied to the syntheses of 2,3-disubstituted bcnzo b furans <07T8670>. A metal-catalyzed cyclization was also used in the syntheses of 5,6-disubstituted furo 2,3-c/]pyrimidines from alkynyl-pyrimidinols and aryl iodides <07T1931>. 

Two methodologies for the direct C-2 arylation of thiazoles have been reported. The first one is mediated by both palladium and copper <07T1970>. Thus, the C-2 arylation of thiazole and benzothiazole with aryl iodides is carried out using copper iodide (2 equiv.) and a catalytic amount of palladium acetate under base-free conditions. The other method involves copper-catalyzed arylation with aryl iodides in the presence of lithium t-butoxide <07JA12404>. In general, reactions with lithium tert-butoxide provide better yields than those with potassium fert-butoxide. In addition, arylation with phenyl bromide, chloride or tosylate fails to provide any desired arylation products.
