Cross-coupling with organic electrophiles

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)... 

The late Professor J. K. Stille pioneered the development of a very effective and versatile palladium-mediated C-C bond forming method - the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of organic electrophiles with organostannanes.48 This process continues to enjoy much success in organic synthesis because it proceeds in high yields under mild reaction conditions and because it tolerates a... 

The cross-coupling of organic electrophiles with organostannanes, commonly known as the Stille reaction, is one of the most versatile and selective palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions [190]. Today, the Stille reaction is found among the routinely performed transformations in organic chemistry when it comes to...

Transition metal catalysed cross-coupling reactions of organometalUc reagents containing Zn, Si, Mg, Sn or B with organic electrophiles in the presence of group 8-10 metals, notably Ni and Pd, are routinely the method of choice, both in academia and industry, for the preparation of C-0, C-S, C-H, C-N and C-C bonds [1].

Cross-coupling between 1-alkenyl- and arylboron compounds with organic electrophiles have found wide application (see Sect. 1.5.1.1) in organic synthesis [125, 132, 269-271]. The value of this methodology is further realized with the use of alkylboranes, such as B-alkyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes (B-R-9-BBN), which can be conveniently prepared Ijy hydroboration of olefins [272]. The hydroboration proceeds with high stereoselectivity and chemoselectivity. The choice of phosphines in a catalytic system sometimes affects the chemo- and regioselectivity of the hydroboration. Hydroboration of l-(ethylthio)-l-propyne with catecholborane can be satisfactorily carried out with PdClj (dppf) but the regioselectivity is best for the dppe and dppp complexes of Ni [273]. Notably, PPhj complexes perform poorly. 

Whereas the direct cross-coupling reactions of zinc organometallics with organic electrophiles is of limited utility, the scope of these reagents after transmetallation...
