The enhancement of the electrophilic properties of thaHium(III) ttifluoroacetate makes it a very important thaHation reagent. The products of thaHation, eg, arylthaHium bis(ttifluoracetate), undergo a variety of substitution reactions, yielding iodides, fluorides, nitriles, thiophenols, phenols, and biaryls. 

Organocopper compounds have been trapped by coordination with organic bases. In addition, arylcopper compounds (ArCu) have been independently prepared and shown to give biaryls (ArAr ) when treated with aryl iodides (Ar I). A similar reaction has been used for ring closure. 

Another free-radical arylation method consists of the photolysis of aryl iodides in an aromatic solvent. Yields are generally higher than in 14-17 or 14-21. The aryl iodide may contain OH or COOH groups. The mechanism is similar to that of 14-17. The aryl radicals are generated by the photolytic cleavage ArI AR + T. The reaction has been applied to intramolecular arylation (analogous to the Pschorr reaction). A similar reaction is photolysis of an arylthallium bis(trifluoroacetate) (12-21) in an aromatic solvent. Here too, an unsymmetrical biaryl is produced in good yields. ... 

Very recently another highly active and well-defined Pd-NHC based pre-catalyst containing a cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ligand 18 has been successfully applied in this transformation. Cp was chosen as stabilising ligand due to its well-known tendency to reductively be removed from Cp-Pd complexes that may help in the transformation of the pre-catalyst into the desired catalytic active species (NHC)Pd(O) [107]. Di- and tii-ortho substituted biaryls were obtained in good to excellent yields however, when the formation of tetra-orf/to substituted compounds was attempted very poor yields were obtained, even using aryl bromide or iodide substrates (Scheme 6.28). 

In terms of methodologies for the preparation of A-arylindoles 140, Buchwald reported improved conditions for the palladium-catalyzed coupling of aryl chlorides, bromides, iodides and triflates 138 with a variety of 2-, 7- and polysubstituted indoles 139 utilizing novel electron-rich biaryl(dialkyl)phosphine ligands in combination with Pd2(dba)3 <00OL1403>. Alternatively, Watanabe reports similar A-arylations of pyrrole, indole and carbazoles with aryl bromides and chlorides using Pd(OAc)2/P(f-Bu)3 in xylene at 120°C <00TL481>. 

The Pd(0)-catalyzed electroreductive coupling of aryl halides (303) is a currently relevant topic. In the electroreduction of aryl halides (307) the replacement of the halogen atom by hydrogen predominantly takes place giving (306). Difficulties are encountered, however, when aryl-aryl coupling products (305) via (304) are wanted (Scheme 116). An efficient electroreductive coupling of aryl bromides (307) (X = Br) and iodides (307) (X = I) into biaryls (310) has been shown to occur in a DMF/Et4NOTs/(Pb cathode) system in the presence of Pd(0) and/or Pd(II) catalysts (Scheme 117) [440]. 

Arylation of benzene 128 with aryl iodides 129 via direct C—H bond activation was achieved in the presence of [Cp lrHCl]2 and KO Bu to afford corresponding biaryl 130 (Equation 10.33) [56]. The phenyl radical would participate as an intermediate in this reaction. 

Symmetrical biaryls are important intermediates for synthesising agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals and natural products (1). One of the simplest protocols to make them is the Ullmann reaction (2), the thermal homocoupling of aryl chlorides in the presence of copper iodide. This reaction, though over a century old, it still used today. It has two main disadvantages, however First, it uses stoichiometric amounts of copper and generates stoichiometric amounts of CuL waste (Figure 1, left). Second, it only works with aryl iodides. This is a problem because chemicals react by their molarity, but are quantified by their mass. One tonne of iodobenzene, for example, contains 620 kg of iodo and only 380 kg of benzene . 

Unactivated aryl iodides undergo the conversion Arl — ArCHj when treated with tris(diethylamino)sulfonium difluorotrimethylsilicate and a palladium catalyst.131 A number of methods, all catalyzed by palladium complexes, have been used to prepare unsymmetrical biaryls (see also 3-16). In these methods, aryl bromides or iodides are coupled with aryl Grignard reagents,152 with arylboronic acids ArB(OH)2,153 with aryltin compounds Ar-SnR3,154 and with arylmercury compounds.155 Unsymmetrical binaphthyls were synthesized by photochemically stimulated reaction of naphthyl iodides with naphthoxide ions in an SrnI reaction.156 Grignard reagents also couple with aryl halides without a palladium catalyst, by the benzyne mechanism.157 OS VI, 916 65, 108 66, 67. 

The coupling of aryl halides with copper is called the Ullmann reaction.m The reaction is of broad scope and has been used to prepare many symmetrical and unsymmetrical biaryls.187 When a mixture of two different aryl halides is used, there are three possible products, but often only one is obtained. For example, picryl chloride and iodobenzene gave only 2,4,6-trinitrobiphenyl.188 The best leaving group is iodo, and the reaction is most often done on aryl iodides, but bromides, chlorides, and even thiocyanates have been used. 

In addition to the synthetic route shown in Scheme 32, Armstrong approached the synthesis from the other direction, by converting the initial resin-bound iodide to a supported pinacolatoboronate 30 under platinum catalysis (Scheme 33). This was then coupled in the usual way with a solution-phase aryl iodide in high yield, and with much more satisfactory results than were obtained with the vinylboronates 29. This chemistry was later shown to be useful in solution for one-pot biaryl synthesis by genera-... 

Fluorous phase modifications of the Stille reaction were shown by Curran et al. to be accelerated by microwave irradiation.10 Similarly, Hallberg et al. demonstrated that such irradiation gives remarkably fast solid-phase Suzuki reactions, in the generation of biaryl units.9 Their reaction involved the coupling of a tethered (Rink amide TentaGel) aryl iodide or bromide with several boronic acids under 45 W of irradiation at 2450 MHz in sealed... 

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). 

In the Suzuki reaction, an aryl iodide or synthetic equivalent thereof is coupled with an arylboronic acid or a borane, again using palladium(O) as the catalyst. This reaction is usually used to prepare biaryls, and few examples have been reported of the solid-phase synthesis of alkenes by means of a Suzuki coupling (Table 5.8). 

Unsymmetrical biaryls.14 The Pd(0)- or Ni(0)-catalyzed coupling of arylzinc derivatives with aryl halides appears to be the method of choice for synthesis of unsymmetrical biaryls (equation I). Both Pd[P(C6H5)3]4 and Ni[P(C6H5)3]4 are usually equally effective with aryl iodides, but only activated aryl bromides can be coupled with Pd(0).
