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... 

The generated palladium chlorides possessing phosphinous acid ligands were found to be remarkably active and efficient catalysts in the presence of bases for a variety of cross-coupling reactions of aryl halides with aiylboronic... 

A rapid MW-assisted palladium-catalyzed coupling of heteroaryl and aryl boronic acids with iodo- and bromo-substituted benzoic acids, anchored on TentaGel has been achieved [174]. An environmentally friendly Suzuki cross-coupling reaction has been developed that uses polyethylene glycol (PEG) as the reaction medium and palladium chloride as a catalyst [175]. A solventless Suzuki coupling has also been reported on palladium-doped alumina in the presence of potassium fluoride as a base [176], This approach has been extended to Sonogashira coupling reaction wherein terminal alkynes couple readily with aryl or alkenyl iodides on palladium-doped alumina in the presence of triphenylphosphine and cuprous iodide (Scheme 6.52) [177]. 

Recent notable improvements by Knochel and co-workers include iron-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of various acid chlorides 148 with dialkylzinc reagents (Equation (24))324 as well as the iron-catalyzed arylation of aroyl cyanides 149 with Grignard reagents (Equation (25)).3 5 In the first case Knochel s reaction conditions tolerate ester groups on the organozinc compounds, while in the latter case ester, aryl alkyl ether, cyano, and chloro functionalities on the aromatic moieties are compatibles with the reaction conditions. 

Palladium/carbon (Pd/C) was also found to be effective in this cross-coupling reaction [38] (Scheme 23). The addition of PPh3 was indispensable, whereas Et3N had a marginal effect in this catalytic system. The amount of Pd (less than 1 mol% of acid chlorides) is much smaller than for the former catalytic systems.
