Cross coupling reactions aryl boronic acids with amines

Cross-coupling reactions leading to the formation of C-X (X = heteroatom) bonds catalyzed by Pd(dba)2 have been reported. Aniline derivatives have been prepared via reaction of amine nucleophiles with aryl halides in the presence of Pd(dba)2 and phosphines, especially P( Bu)3. Likewise, diaryl and aryl alkyl ethers are produced from aryl halides (Cl, Br, I) and sodium aryloxides and alkoxides under similar conditions. Conditions effective for the coupling of aryl chlorides with amines, boronic acids, and ketone enolates using an easily prepared phosphine chloride as a ligand have recently been uncovered (eq 22). The preparation of aryl siloxanes and allyl boronates via Pd(dba)2-catalyzed C-Si and C-B coupling have been reported as well. 

Arylation of a wide range of NH/OH/SH substrates by oxidative cross-coupling with boronic acids in the presence of catalytic cupric acetate and either triethyl-amine or pyridine at room temperature in air. The reaction works for amides, amines, anilines, azides, hydantoins, hydrazines, imides, imines, nitroso, pyrazi-nones, pyridones, purines, pyrimidines, sulfonamides, sulfinates, sulfoximines, ureas, alcohols, phenols, and thiols. It is also the mildest method for NIO-vinylation. The boronic acids can be replaced with siloxanes or starmanes. The mild condition of this reaction is an advantage over Buchwald-Hartwig s Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling. The Chan-Lam C-X bond cross-coupling reaction is complementary to Suzuki-Miyaura s C-C bond cross-coupling reaction.
