Halides, aryl, arylation reaction

The reaction is of the 8 2 type and works best with primary and secondary alkyl halides Elimination is the only reaction observed with tertiary alkyl halides Aryl and vinyl halides do not react Dimethyl sulfoxide is the preferred solvent for this reaction but alcohols and water-alcohol mixtures have also been used... 

Formation of aryl Grignard reagents (Section 14 4) Aryl halides react with magnesium to form the corresponding arylmagnesium halide Aryl iodides are the most reac tive aryl fluorides the least A similar reaction occurs with lithium to give aryllithium reagents (Section 14 3)... 

A second general reaction that proceeds by an SrnI mechanistic pattern involves aryl halides. Aryl halides undergo substitution by eertain nueleophiles by a ehain mechanism of the SrnI class.Many of the reactions are initiated photochemically, and most have been conducted in liquid ammonia solution. 

Allenols can be converted into terminal vinylepoxides by a Pd(0)-catalyzed insertion of aryl or vinyl halides [81]. The reactions take place with high trans-selectivity and in good yields (Scheme 9.17a). Chiral 2,3-allenols, which can be easily... 

Palladium complexes also catalyze the carbonylation of halides. Aryl (see 13-13), vinylic, benzylic, and allylic halides (especially iodides) can be converted to carboxylic esters with CO, an alcohol or alkoxide, and a palladium complex. Similar reactivity was reported with vinyl triflates. Use of an amine instead of the alcohol or alkoxide leads to an amide. Reaction with an amine, AJBN, CO, and a tetraalkyltin catalyst also leads to an amide. Similar reaction with an alcohol, under Xe irradiation, leads to the ester. Benzylic and allylic halides were converted to carboxylic acids electrocatalytically, with CO and a cobalt imine complex. Vinylic halides were similarly converted with CO and nickel cyanide, under phase-transfer conditions. ... 

There are a number of procedures for coupling of terminal alkynes with halides and sulfonates, a reaction that is known as the Sonogashira reaction.161 A combination of Pd(PPh3)4 and Cu(I) effects coupling of terminal alkynes with vinyl or aryl halides.162 The reaction can be carried out directly with the alkyne, using amines for deprotonation. The alkyne is presumably converted to the copper acetylide, and the halide reacts with Pd(0) by oxidative addition. Transfer of the acetylide group to Pd results in reductive elimination and formation of the observed product. 

The original conditions used amines as solvents or cosolvents. Several other bases can replace the amine. Tetrabutylammonium hydroxide or fluoride can be used in THF (see Entry 1 in Scheme 8.11).163 Tetrabutylammonium acetate is also effective with aryl iodides and EWG-substituted aryl bromides (Entry 2).164 Use of alkenyl halides in this reaction has proven to be an effective method for the synthesis of enynes165 (see also Entries 5 and 6 in Scheme 8.11). 

Aryl Halides from Diazonium Ion Intermediates. Replacement of diazonium groups by halides is a valuable alternative to direct halogenation for the preparation of aryl halides. Aryl bromides and chlorides are usually prepared by a reaction using the appropriate Cu(I) salt, which is known as the Sandmeyer reaction. Under the classic conditions, the diazonium salt is added to a hot acidic solution of the cuprous halide.99 The Sandmeyer reaction occurs by an oxidative addition reaction of the diazonium ion with Cu(I) and halide transfer from a Cu(III) intermediate. 

We have found that palladacycles 2 and 5 also react with aryl halides but the reaction pathway follows a different course in the absence (complex 2) or in... 

Indoles, pyrroles, and carbazoles themselves are suitable substrates for palladium-catalyzed coupling with aryl halides. Initially, these reactions occurred readily with electron-poor aryl halides in the presence of palladium and DPPF, but reactions of unactivated aryl bromides were long, even at 120 °C. Complexes of sterically hindered alkylmonophosphines have been shown to be more active catalysts (Equation (25)). 8 102 103 In the presence of these more active catalysts, reactions of electron-poor or electron-rich aryl bromides and electron-poor or electron-neutral aryl chlorides occurred at 60-120 °C. Reactions catalyzed by complexes of most of the /-butylphosphines generated a mixture of 1- and 3-substituted indoles. In addition, 2- and 7-substituted indoles reacted with unhindered aryl halides at both the N1 and C3 positions. The 2-naphthyl di-t-butylphosphinobenzene ligand in Equation (25), however, generated a catalyst that formed predominantly the product from A-arylation in these cases. 

The oldest method for the synthesis of the organotin halides is the reaction of alkyl or aryl halides with elemental tin. This reaction exhibits numerous variants and uses a wide variety of catalysts however, yields are usually unsatisfactory and the method is no longer common nowadays. 

Simple reaction occurs with aryl halides only when the ring is sufficiently substituted with electron-withdrawing functions to allow attack by the nucleophilic phosphorus.53-56 Generally, reaction with aryl halides requires the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst or some other means of reaction initiation. These reactions will be considered in detail in Chapter 6 of this work. Interestingly, while reactions involving vinylic halides seem to correlate with those of aromatic halides (see Chapter 6), acetylenic halides undergo facile reaction with these phosphorus reagents.57 58... 

In addition to aryl halides and triflates, organometallic reagents can be utilized for the catalytic arylation reaction. The rhodium-catalyzed arylation of arylpyridines proceeds with the use of tetraarylstannanes (Equation (67)).83 The ruthenium-catalyzed reaction of aromatic ketones with arylboronates affords the ortho-arylated aromatic ketones (Equation (68)).84... 

The reactions represented by (191) are all nucleophilic substitutions occurring at a sulfonyl sulfur. Besides cpdisulfones substitutions of this kind are also of frequent occurrence in the chemistry of many other types of sulfonyl derivatives such as sulfonyl halides, aryl esters of sulfonic acids, etc., and many of the general aspects of their behaviour and mechanism have been examined in considerable detail. Most of the remainder of this section will be devoted to consideration of the results of such studies. 

This reaction involves the two reactants carbon monoxide and alcohol and produces esters, or lactones. The starting material, which will be considered here, is an alkene or an alkyne but it is also possible to start from activated halides (aryl- or allyl- iodides and bromides) to produce the same kind of organic products. 

The addition of the nucleophile to the aryl radical is the reverse of the cleavage of substituted aromatic anion radicals that we have discussed in Section 2 in terms of an intramolecular concerted electron-transfer-bondbreaking process and illustrated with the example of aryl halides. The present reaction may thus be viewed conversely as an intramolecular concerted electron-transfer-bond-forming process. The driving force of the reaction can be divided into three terms as in (131). The first of these, the... 

The palladium-catalyzed coupling of boronic acids with aryl and alkenyl halides, the Suzuki reaction, is one of the most efficient C-C cross-coupling processes used in reactions on polymeric supports. These coupling reactions requires only gentle heating to 60-80 °C and the boronic acids used are nontoxic and stable towards air and water. The mild reaction conditions have made this reaction a powerful and widely used tool in the organic synthesis. When the Suzuki reaction is transferred to a solid support, the boronic add can be immobilized or used as a liquid reactant Carboni and Carreaux recently reported the preparation of the macroporous support that can be employed to efficiently immobilize and transform functionalized arylboronic adds (Scheme 3.12) [107, 246, 247]. 

This article presents the principles known so far for the synthesis of metal complexes containing stable carbenes, including the preparation of the relevant carbene precursors. The use of some of these compounds in transition-metal-catalyzed reactions is discussed mainly for ruthenium-catalyzed olefin metathesis and palladium-Znickel-catalyzed coupling reactions of aryl halides, but other reactions will be touched upon as well. Chapters about the properties of metal- carbene complexes, their applications in materials science and medicinal chemistry, and their role in bioinorganic chemistry round the survey off. The focus of this review is on ZV-heterocyclic carbenes, in the following abbreviated as NHC and NHCs, respectively.
