Cross coupling reactions aryl halides with amines

The palladium-catalyzed amination of aryl halides has recently emerged as a powerful alternative to other methods for the synthesis of aryl amines.5 This method allows for the cross-coupling of aryl halides arrd triflates with amines in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of a base and catalytic amounts of palladium complexes bearing tertiary phosphine ligands. As shown in Tables I and II, the Pd/BlNAP catalyst is highly effective for reactions of aryl bromides and triflates with primary and cyclic... 

For insoluble development in Heck-type reactions is P-C and N-C bond formation, which results from coupling of aryl halides with phosphorous compounds [38] and amines [39]. The first application in aqueous medium was achieved by coupling of a dialkyl phosphite with an aromatic iodide to give an arylphosphonate in 99% yield. In 1996, Stelzer and co-workers presented a P-C cross-coupling reaction between primary and secondary phosphines and functional aryl iodides to water-soluble phosphines [Eq. (9)], which are potentially applicable as ligands in aqueous-phase catalysis [40]. 

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. 

Discrete copper compounds can also be used as catalysts for the synthesis of arylamines (Scheme 3.52) [58]. Venkataraman used a neocuproine-ligated copper(I) species to promote the coupling of aryl halides with secondary amines. A practical advantage to this chemistry was that only air-stable materials were needed to construct the catalyst needed for the cross-coupling. A base was needed to promote the reaction, and potassium tert-butoxide was found to be more effective in the cross-coupling than other common bases including potassium phosphate, sodium methoxide, or cesium carbonate. Curiously, cesium carbonate was not as active in this chemistry, but it was quite effective in the preparation of diaryl ethers. Several aryl halides were screened for activity, and aryl bromides and iodides afforded moderate to good yields of the arylamines. It should be noted that an electron-neutral aryl chloride was converted into the triarylamine, albeit in lower yield (49%). 

Complexes ligated by alkylphosphines had been used rarely as catalysts in cross-coupling chemistry, but several studies suggested that they could catalyze the amination of aryl halides with higher selectivity and activity than catalysts of arylphosphines. Steric hindrance promotes reductive elimination at the expense of /3-hydrogen elimination.54 Therefore, reactions of primary amines and, in... 

As described above (Section 5.2), the Stephens-Castro reaction of alkynylcopper with aryl and vinyl halides in boiling pyridine is a useful route to aryl and vinyl acetylenes. Direct cross-coupling of organic halides, such as sp halides, with terminal alkynes is a more convenient procedure. Such a reaction is not so easy, but it can be done using a Pd-complex catalyst [41]. Especially facile Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl and alkenyl halides with terminal alkynes proceeds smoothly under mild conditions in the presence of a cocatalyst of cuprous iodide in amine solvents [Eq. (28)] [42]. This methodology is now used widely for the constiuction of conjugated arylalkyne or enyne systems [43], as described below. It is attractive from a synthetic point of view because mild reaction conditions and simplicity of the procedure are associated with recent developments in modem acetylene chemistry [44]. 

Alkyne cross-coupling reactions over the last 25 years have become one of the most valuable assets in the synthetic chemist s toolbox. The now famous Sonogashira coupling (50, 114) of terminal alkynes with aryl or vinyl halides is readily achieved with a palladium catalyst, a copper(l) cocatalyst, and amine base. In the catalytic cycle (Scheme 14a), copper-and palladium-alkyne complexes are the key intermediates that lead to coupling of R and R units via the alkyne. Analogously, the Stille coupling... 

In the area of organometallic chemistry, we begin with a procedure for the palladium-catalyzed amination of aryl halides and aryl triflates, illustrated by syntheses of N-HEXYL-2-METHYL-4-METHOXYANILINE and N-METHYL-N-(4-CHLOROPHENYL)-ANILINE The next procedure describes the synthesis of 1,2,3,4-TETRAHYDROCARBAZOLE by the palladium-catalyzed annulation of ketones with o-iodoaniline. Next, a procedure for the synthesis of 2,7-DIMETHYLNAPHTHALENE via the nickel-catalyzed coupling of aryl O-carbamates with Grignard reagents is presented. The fourth procedure in this section describes the synthesis of S-METHYL-2,2 -BIPYRIDINE by a Negishi cross-coupling reaction...
