Alkenes, cross-coupling

The 121/Cl3SiH combination selectively cross-couples alkenes with alkynes intermolecularly to give acyclic homoallylic silanes 127 and 128 (Eq. 22) [73].

The cross-coupling of two alkenes also takes place. Alkenes such as acrylate react regioselectively with 1,3-dimethyluracil (290) to afford 5-(l-alkenyl)ura-cils such as 291 in a high yield[260]. 

The thioboration of terminal alkynes with 9-(alkylthio)-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]-nonanes (9-RS-9-BBN) proceeds regio- and stereoselectively by catalysis of Pd(Ph,P)4 to produce the 9-[(Z)-2-(alkylthio)-l-alkeny)]-9-BBN derivative 667 in high yields. The protonation of the product 667 with MeOH affords the Markownikov adduct 668 of thiol to 1-alkyne. One-pot synthesis of alkenyl sulfide derivatives 669 via the Pd-catalyzed thioboration-cross-coupling sequence is also possible. Another preparative method for alkenyl sulfides is the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of 9-alkyl-9-BBN with l-bromo-l-phe-nylthioethene or 2-bromo-l-phenylthio-l-alkene[534]. 

Heck reaction, palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions between organohalides or triflates with olefins (72JOC2320), can take place inter- or intra-molecularly. It is a powerful carbon-carbon bond forming reaction for the preparation of alkenyl- and aryl-substituted alkenes in which only a catalytic amount of a palladium(O) complex is required. 

A cross-coupling reactions of terminal alkynes with terminal alkenes 32 supported on Merrifield-resin (Scheme 4.5) in the presence of Grubs ruthenium initiator [Cl2(PCy3)2Ru = CHPh] provided efficient access to supported 1,3-dienes 33 which were transformed into octahydrobenzazepinones 34 via MeAlCl2 catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction [27]. 

Over the last decade, the chemistry of the carbon-carbon triple bond has experienced a vigorous resurgence [1]. Whereas construction of alkyne-con-taining systems had previously been a laborious process, the advent of new synthetic methodology based on organotransition metal complexes has revolutionized the field [2]. Specifically, palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions between alkyne sp-carbon atoms and sp -carbon atoms of arenes and alkenes have allowed for rapid assembly of relatively complex structures [3]. In particular, the preparation of alkyne-rich macrocycles, the subject of this report, has benefited enormously from these recent advances. For the purpose of this review, we Emit the discussion to cychc systems which contain benzene and acetylene moieties only, henceforth referred to as phenylacetylene and phenyldiacetylene macrocycles (PAMs and PDMs, respectively). Not only have a wide... 

Iron-catalyzed C(sp )-C(sp ) bond-forming cross-coupling reactions of alcohols with alkenes has been reported by Tu and coworkers in 2009 [109]. Reactions of primary alcohols with various alkenes in the presence of a catalytic amount of FeCls in 1,2-dichloroethane afford the desired secondary alcohols as the crosscoupling products in moderate to good yields (Scheme 33). Iron sources such as... 

The hydrosi(ly)lations of alkenes and alkynes are very important catalytic processes for the synthesis of alkyl- and alkenyl-silanes, respectively, which can be further transformed into aldehydes, ketones or alcohols by estabhshed stoichiometric organic transformations, or used as nucleophiles in cross-coupling reactions. Hydrosilylation is also used for the derivatisation of Si containing polymers. The drawbacks of the most widespread hydrosilylation catalysts [the Speier s system, H PtCl/PrOH, and Karstedt s complex [Pt2(divinyl-disiloxane)3] include the formation of side-products, in addition to the desired anh-Markovnikov Si-H addition product. In the hydrosilylation of alkynes, formation of di-silanes (by competing further reaction of the product alkenyl-silane) and of geometrical isomers (a-isomer from the Markovnikov addition and Z-p and -P from the anh-Markovnikov addition. Scheme 2.6) are also possible. 

Hydroboration of alkenes or alkynes followed by cross-coupling with organic electrophiles provides a straightforward method for the carbon-carbon bond formation (Scheme 1-19). The hydroboration of thioalkynes with catecholborane in the presence of a nickel or palladium catalyst yields P-(aLkylthio)-l-alkenylboronates (72a)... 

Transition metal-catalyzed transformations are of major importance in synthetic organic chemistry [1], This reflects also the increasing number of domino processes starting with such a reaction. In particular, Pd-catalyzed domino transformations have seen an astounding development over the past years with the Heck reaction [2] - the Pd-catalyzed transformation of aryl halides or triflates as well as of alkenyl halides or triflates with alkenes or alkynes - being used most often. This has been combined with another Heck reaction or a cross-coupling reaction [3] such as Suzuki, Stille, and Sonogashira reactions. Moreover, several examples have been published with a Tsuji-Trost reaction [lb, 4], a carbonylation, a pericyclic or an aldol reaction as the second step. 

Using Pd-mediated cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki, Heck, and Sonoga-shira- Hagihara reaction, researchers efficiently constructed a library of 151 coumarin derivatives from eight 3-bromocoumarins cross-coupled with ten aryl/heteroaryl boronic acids, ten alkenes, and ten alkynes (Fig. 4). 

Nickel-bpy and nickel-pyridine catalytic systems have been applied to numerous electroreductive reactions,202 such as synthesis of ketones by heterocoupling of acyl and benzyl halides,210,213 addition of aryl bromides to activated alkenes,212,214 synthesis of conjugated dienes, unsaturated esters, ketones, and nitriles by homo- and cross-coupling involving alkenyl halides,215 reductive polymerization of aromatic and heteroaromatic dibromides,216-221 or cleavage of the C-0 bond in allyl ethers.222... 

A palladium-catalysed carbometallation-alkyne cross coupling cascade process has been reported for the stereo- and regio-controlled synthesis of dibenzoxepines with substituted exocyclic alkene functionality <06OL1685>. 

C-C bond formation can be favored over /3-hydride elimination by changing the nature of the catalyst. Hence, cyclizations can be mediated by iridium carbene complexes resulting from a formal intramolecular cross-coupling of the alkene with an. s -C-H bond (Equation (40)).
