Aryl triflates compound

Aryl fluorosulfonates have recently been reported as less expensive alternatives to aryl triflates. Compound 3 has been synthesized in 50% isolated yield using 4-nitrophenyl fluorosulfonate as the electrophilic partner in the cross-coupling reaction. Roth, G. P. Fuller, C. E. J. Org. Cham. 1991,56,3493-3496. 

The most useful pseudo-halides are aryl triflates (trifluoromethylsulfonates) of phenols and enol triflates derived from carbonyl compounds[4,5,6]. 

Haloalkynes (R—C=C—X) react with ArSnBu3 and Cul to give R—C= C—Ar. Acetylene reacts with two equivalents of iodobenzene, in the presence of a palladium catalyst and Cul, to give 1,2-diphenylethyne. 1-Trialkylsilyl alkynes react with 1-haloalkynes, in the presence of a CuCl catalyst, to give diynes and with aryl triflates to give 1-aryl alkynes. Alkynes couple with alkyl halides in the presence of Sml2/Sm. Alkynes react with hypervalent iodine compounds " and with reactive alkanes such as adamantane in the presence of AIBN. ... 

ArSnRs, and with arylmercury compounds. Aryl triflates react with arylbo-ronic acids ArB(OH)2, or with organoboranes, in the presence of a palladium catalyst, to give the arene in what is called Suzuki couplingCyclopropyl groups can be attached to aromatic rings by this reaction. Even hindered boronic acids give good yields of the coupled product. 

Efficient electrosynthesis of biaryls with PdII(PPh3)2Cl2]0 has been performed starting from bromo- and iodoaromatic compounds,239 or even aryl triflates.240,241 The synthesis of biphenyls... 

Palladium-catalyzed arylation of olefins and the analogous alkenylation (Heck reaction) are the useful synthetic methods for carbon-carbon bond formation.60 Although these reactions have been known for over 20 years, it was only in 1989 that the asymmetric Heck reaction was pioneered in independent work by Sato et al.60d and Carpenter et al.61 These scientists demonstrated that intramolecular cyclization of an alkenyl iodide or triflate yielded chiral cyclic compounds with approximately 45% ee. The first example of the intermolecular asymmetric Heck reaction was reported by Ozawa et al.60c Under appropriate conditions, the major product was obtained in over 96% ee for a variety of aryl triflates.62... 

The reaction is carried out with aryl triflates and other details such as solvent and base used are also important. Intramolecular additions of aryl halides or triflates to alkenes in a side-chain leading to cyclic compounds have been reported by Overman [24], Rather complicated ring structures can be made stereospecifically. While initially BINAP seemed the best ligand for this conversion, the number of useful ligands is increasing [25],... 

On the other hand, the use of [Rh(CO)2Cl]2 as a catalyst results in ring opening of the siloxycyclopropanes 13 to the silyl enol ethers 14 with high stereoselectivity [10]. The 2-siloxyrhodacyclobutane 15a is proposed to undergo j8-elimination to give jr-allylrhodium 16a followed by reductive elimination to the silyl enol ether 14a. 1-Trimethylsiloxybicyclo[n.l.0]alkanes serve as / -metallo-carbonyl compounds via desilylation with a variety of transition metals [11]. The palladium-catalyzed reaction of the siloxycyclopropanes 17 under carbon monoxide in chloroform provides a route to the 4-keto pimelates 18. In the presence of aryl triflates, the 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds 19 are... 

Hypervalent organobismuth compounds 1 bearing a 2,6-pyridinedialkoxide ligand [43] were used for the cross-coupling reaction with aryl triflates (Scheme 28) [44], Phenylation using phenylbismuth compounds smoothly proceeded for the reactive... 

The similar cross-coupling reaction of compounds 1 with aryl iodides was less sensitive to the electronic nature of the substrates than that with aryl triflates i.e., electron-deficient 4 -iodoacetophenone and electron-rich 4-iodoanisole afforded the cross-coupling products in 96% and 55% yields, respectively (Scheme 29) [45]. The addition of cesium salts improved the product yields considerably. Aryl bromides were less efficient than aryl iodides, and addition of cesium salts was necessary to improve the product yields. 

The preparations of aryl sulfides typically employ aryl halides as starting materials. The procedure described here makes use of the ubiquitous class of commercially available phenolic compounds in the form of aryl triflates, which expands the range of readily accessible aryl sulfides. Prior to this disclosure, the use of aryl triflates in a palladium-catalyzed process for the formation of aryl alkyl sulfides was unprecedented. This procedure appears to be general with regard to electronically neutral or electron-deficient aryl triflates (Table 1). The yields in Table I correspond to the initially disclosed procedure employing sodium (ert-butoxide as the base. Lower yields were obtained with the 4-nitro-... 

Palladium catalysts have been found which are effective in the Suzuki coupling reaction of arylboronic acids with aryl chlorides carrying electron-withdrawing groups.73 Biaryls may also be synthesized by cross-coupling of arylboronic acids with arenediazonium salts.74,75 There has been a report of the polymer-bound palladium-catalysed Suzuki coupling of aryl triflates with organoboron compounds.76 Arylbor-onates may themselves be synthesized by the palladium-catalysed reactions of... 

The Suzuki coupling reaction is a powerful tool for carbon-carbon bond formation in combinatorial library production.23 Many different reaction conditions and catalyst systems have been reported for the cross-coupling of aryl triflates and aromatic halides with boronic acids in solution. After some experimentation, we found that the Suzuki cleavage of the resin-bound perfluoroalkylsulfonates proceeded smoothly by using [l,l -bis (diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II), triethylamine, and boronic acids in dimethylformamide at 80° within 8 h afforded the desired biaryl compounds in good yields.24 The desired products are easily isolated by a simple two-phase extraction process and purified by preparative TLC to give the biaryl compounds in high purity, as determined by HPLC, GC-MS, and LC-MS analysis. 

Transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling is now recognized to be one of the most powerful carbon-carbon bond-formation reactions [1], The palladium-catalyzed coupling of aryl halides or their synthetic equivalents, for example aryl triflates, with arylmetals is very often employed in the synthesis of biaryl molecules, whose skeletons are found in a wide range of important compounds including natural products and organic functional materials [1-3]. 

The most important substrates for substitutions of this type are alkenyl and aryl triflates, bromides, or iodides (Sections 16.1-16.4). The most important organometallic compounds to be introduced into the substrates contain Cu, Mg, B, Zn or Sn. The metal-bound C atom can be sp2-, sp2-, or. sp-hybridized in these compounds, and each of these species, in principle, is capable of reacting with unsaturated substrates. Organocopper compounds often (Section 16.1, 16.2), but not always substitute without the need for a catalyst (Section 16.4.5). Grignard compounds substitute in the presence of catalytic amounts of Ni complexes (Section 16.3), while organoboron (Section 16.4.2), organozinc (Section 16.4.3) and organotin (Section 16.4.4) compounds are typically reacted in the presence of Pd complexes (usually Pd(PPhj)4).
