Carbon-carbon bond formation reactions and the CH activation of methane are another example where NHC complexes have been used successfully in catalytic applications. Palladium-catalysed reactions include Heck-type reactions, especially the Mizoroki-Heck reaction itself [171-175], and various cross-coupling reactions [176-182]. They have also been found useful for related reactions like the Sonogashira coupling [183-185] or the Buchwald-Hartwig amination [186-189]. The reactions are similar concerning the first step of the catalytic cycle, the oxidative addition of aryl halides to palladium(O) species. This is facilitated by electron-donating substituents and therefore the development of highly active catalysts has focussed on NHC complexes. 

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...

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. 

Domino transition metal-catalyzed processes can also start with a cross-coupling reaction most often, Suzuki, Stille and Sonogashira reactions are used in this context They can be combined with another Pd-catalyzed transformation, and a number of examples have also been reported where a pericydic reaction, usually a Diels-Alder reaction, follows. An interesting combination is also a Pd-catalyzed borina-tion followed by a Suzuki reaction.

There are many other examples in the literature where sealed-vessel microwave conditions have been employed to heat water as a reaction solvent well above its boiling point. Examples include transition metal catalyzed transformations such as Suzuki [43], Heck [44], Sonogashira [45], and Stille [46] cross-coupling reactions, in addition to cyanation reactions [47], phenylations [48], heterocycle formation [49], and even solid-phase organic syntheses [50] (see Chapters 6 and 7 for details). In many of these studies, reaction temperatures lower than those normally considered near-critical (Table 4.2) have been employed (100-150 °C). This is due in part to the fact that with single-mode microwave reactors (see Section 3.5) 200-220 °C is the current limit to which water can be safely heated under pressure since these instruments generally have a 20 bar pressure limit. For generating truly near-critical conditions around 280 °C, special microwave reactors able to withstand pressures of up to 80 bar have to be utilized (see Section 3.4.4). 

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]. 

The bromine atoms in 2,5-dibromo-l,3,4-thiadiazole 54 undergo a palladium-catalyzed Stille reaction with the organostannyl derivative 55 (Equation 7) <1998CEJ2211>. The thiadiazole 54 was co-polymerized with diethynyl benzene 56 (Equation 8) and diethynyl pyrrole in a Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction <2005MM4687>. 

In addition, Rollin et al.26 have also developed a new modified Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction of OZTs, in which copper(i) is used in catalytic amount, allowing the formation of C-C bonds to produce alkynyloxazoles (Scheme 65). 

Other successful examples of catalysts containing NHC ligands are found in palladium- and nickel-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond formations. The catalyst development with these metals has focused in particular on Heck-type reactions, especially the Mizoroki-Heck reaction itself [Eq. (42)] and various cross coupling reactions [Eq. (43)], e.g., the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction ([M] = and the Kumada-Corriu reaction ([M] = MgBr). " Related reactions like the Sonogashira coupling [Eq. (44)]326-329 Buchwald-...

The synthetic potential of palladium-mediated cross-coupling reactions (Heck, Suzuki, Stille, Sonogashira, Buchwald-Hartwig) led to the search for a practical synthesis of p-[ F]fluoroiodo- and p-[ F]fluorobromobenzene. p-[ F]Fluoroio-dobenzene (G, X = iodine) can be obtained in poor yield from p F]fluoride and a trimethylammonium precursor (P7). p-p F]Fluorobromobenzene can be prepared in a more reproducible way from 5-bromo-2-nitrobenzaldehyde (radiochemical yields > 70%). The synthesis involves a two-step procedure radiofluorination (F for NO2 substitution), then a catalysed decarbonylation [190,191]. Also very efficient is the one-step reaction of p F]fluoride with a suitable diaryliodonium salt (P6) giving >70% radiochemical yield [192-194].
