Arylboronic acids arylation with

Martin effected the synthesis of several 3,5-diarylated indoles by a tandem Stille-Suzuki sequence [131]. The latter reaction involves exposure of 3-(3-pyridyl)-5-bromo-l-(4-toluenesulfonyl)indole with arylboronic acids (aryl = 3-thienyl, 2-furyl, phenyl) under typical conditions to give the expected products in 86-98% yield [131], Carrera engaged 6- and 7-bromoindole in Pd-catalyzed couplings with 4-fluoro- and 4-methoxyphenylboronic acids to prepare 6- and 7-(4-fluorophenyl)indole (90% and 74% yield) and 6-(4-methoxyphenyl)indole (73% yield) [29]. Banwell and co-workers employed 7-bromoindole in a Suzuki coupling with 3,4-dioxygenated phenylboronic acids en route to the synthesis of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids [132], Yields of 7-arylated indoles are 93-99%. Moody successfully coupled 4-bromoindole... 

Arylboronic acids esterified with support-bound 1,2-diols undergo Suzuki reaction with aryl iodides, whereby biaryls are released into solution (Entry 13, Table 3.46). This technique has also been used to prepare (3-turn mimetics by simultaneous macro-cyclization and cleavage from the support [766]. Alternatively, the C-B bond of a resin-bound boronate may be converted to a C-H bond by treatment with aqueous silver ammonium nitrate (Entry 14, Table 3.46).

Alkenyl, Alkynyl, Aryl and Heteroaryl Acids. Treatment of readily accessible (E)- and (Z)-alkyl and aryl substituted vinyl boronates (196) with triethyl phosphite in the presence of lead diacetate results in their stereospecific transformation into (E)- and (Z)-vinylphosphonates (197) (Scheme 53). ° Palladium acetate catalysed Mizoroki-Heck reaction of arylboronic acids (198) with diethyl vinylphosphonates (199) is an effective synthetic approach to... 

Aryl bromides. Arylboronic acids react with NBS in hot MeCN to afford ArBr in an ip5o-substitution. Using NIS instead of NBS gives aryl iodides. Esters of the bromic acids also react but less efficiently. 

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]. 

In the presence of a Pd catalyst, CIPd[P(Cf,Hvinyl iodide couples with mctalatcd aromatics, particularly arylzinc chloride or arylboronic acids. Aryl Grignard reagents, however, couple in very low yield. The resulting C-aryl glucals can be converted to C-aryl glycosides by functionalization of the enol ether double bond.2... 

Upon investigating the literature, Lauren noted that arylboronic acids substituted with electron-withdrawing groups often experience extensive protodeboronation and poor yields under the standard Suzuki conditions that utilize aqueous NaaCOs as a base. A solution to this problem lies in either the use of a milder base or nonaqueous conditions. Therefore, Lauren chose to employ NaHCOj as a base. The arylboronic acid derivative of 6-bromopiperonal was coupled with the suitably elaborated aryl iodide to provide the desired biaryl ( )-3 in moderate yields (Eq. 15). 

Reports by the groups of Chan, Evans, and Lam in 1998 revealed an alternative method to conduct copper-mediated couplings that form C(aryl)-0 and C(aryl)-N bonds. In this process, arylboronic acids react with compounds containing N-H or 0-H bonds in the presence of a Cu(II) reagent or catalyst. TTiese reactions were initially conducted with stoichiometric amounts of copper reagents. " Amines, anilines, amides, ureas, carbamates, and sulfonamides underwent N-arylation in moderate to excellent yields by this process (Equation 19.124). The commercial availability of boronic acids and the ability to conduct these arylations in air under mild conditions has caused this method to be adopted quickly for synthetic applications on a small scale. 

Aqueous TlOH solution, which produces highly insoluble salts similar to the barium base, completes the coupling reaction of mesitylboronic acid with iodobenzene within 30 min at room temperature (Table 2 and the procedure in the text)." However, this excellent base for mesitylboronic acid, unfortunately, does not work well for other less substituted arylboronic acids. Aryl- and 1-alkenylboronic acids transmetallate to thallium salts. 

Cross-coupling. Copper(II) trifluoroacetate has been demonstrated to mediate the C-H bond arylation of arenes with arylboronic acids. Various arylboronic acids reacted with electron-rich benzene derivatives to give the corresponding biaryls in moderate to good yields (eq 1). In all cases, the cross-coupling product was solely obtained. 

A practical synthesis of several aryl bromides and chlorides has been recently described via halodeboronation of a range of arylboronic acids espedally with electron-withdrawing groups using DBDMH or DCDMH (1,3-dibromo or 1,3-di-chloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin). [84,85]. This methodology could be also extended for the synthesis of 2-bromo-3-fluorobenzonitrile. Addition of a catalytic amount of NaOMe has benefidal effects on the rate and yields of these reactions. 

The Suzuki coupling of arylboronic acids and aryl halides has proven to be a useful method for preparing C-aryl indoles. The indole can be used either as the halide component or as the boronic acid. 6-Bromo and 7-bromoindolc were coupled with arylboronic acids using Pd(PPh3)4[5]. No protection of the indole NH was necessary. 4-Thallated indoles couple with aryl and vinyl boronic acides in the presence of Pd(OAc)j[6]. Stille coupling between an aryl stannane and a haloindole is another option (Entry 5, Table 14.3).

Microwave and fluorous technologies have been combined in the solution phase parallel synthesis of 3-aminoimidazo[l,2-a]pyridines and -pyrazines [63]. The three-component condensation of a perfluorooctane-sulfonyl (Rfs = CgFiy) substituted benzaldehyde by microwave irradiation in a single-mode instrument at 150 °C for 10 min in CH2CI2 - MeOH in the presence of Sc(OTf)3 gave the imidazo-annulated heterocycles that could be purified by fluorous solid phase extraction (Scheme 9). Subsequent Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of the fluorous sulfonates with arylboronic acids or thiols gave biaryls or aryl sulfides, respectively, albeit it in relatively low yields. 

Oxidative Heck arylation of enamides with arylboronic acids, using oxygen gas as a reoxidant for Pd(0) and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline as a chelating regiocontrolling ligand, yielded a (= internally) arylated reaction product as the major compound with a very good a//3 selectivity [92]. Microwave irradiation with prepressurized sealed vials proved useful in reducing the reaction time (Scheme 82). 

The optimal reaction conditions were applied with 59d in the addition of various aryl boronic acids and potassium trifluoroborates to several cyclic and acyclic enones (Fig. 8). Arylboronic acids added to cyclic enones in high yields (89-97%) and with good to excellent selectivities (85-98% ee). Under these conditions, the potassium trifluoroborate reagents reacted at faster rates, but with slightly lower selectivities (83-96% ee). The reactions of acyclic enones with aryl boron reagents gave also excellent yields (83-96%). 

The MH-type reaction of silanols and organotin compounds with olefins via a Pd(II)-mediated pathway has been reported by Hiyama and co-workers. Based on this pathway, a plausible MH-type reaction mechanism with arylboronic acids was presented in Fig. 26. According to this mechanism, the aryl unit migrated to...
