Halides palladium-catalyzed coupling with arylboronic

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]. 

Alkylboronic acids and arylboronic acids, RB(OH)2, and ArB(OH)2, respectively, are increasingly important in organic chemistry. The palladium catalyzed coupling reaction of aryl halides and aryl triflates with arylboronic acids (the Suzuki-Miyaura... 

Sulfinate anions have been used as nucleophiles in palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation [143]. More recently, both Cu- and Pd-catalyzed couplings of sulfinate anions with aryl halides have also been reported as a means to generate unsymmetrical diaryl sulfones, which are common motifs in bioactive molecules [38, 93, 144—148]. Similarly, Cu-catalyzed coupling of arylboronic acids with sulfinate anions has been reported [95,149,150]. Notably, Kantam and co-workers found that the use of ionic liquids permits Cu(OAc)2-catalyzed sulfone synthesis at ambient temperature and with convenient product separation and catalyst recyclability (17) [150]. 

This palladium-catalyzed coupling mediated by norbornene has also been conducted with aryl halides containing an ortho substituent in the presence of a coupling partner, such as cyanide (Equation 19.155). In this case, tihe product does not contain the nor-bomene additive. Various coupling partners include cyanide, olefins, allylic alcohols, diphenyl- and alkylphenylacetylenes, arylboronic acids, hydrogen donors, and amides. The proposed mechanism (Scheme 19.20) begins with the oxidative addition of Pd(0)... 

Unactivated aryl iodides undergo the conversion Arl — ArCHj when treated with tris(diethylamino)sulfonium difluorotrimethylsilicate and a palladium catalyst.131 A number of methods, all catalyzed by palladium complexes, have been used to prepare unsymmetrical biaryls (see also 3-16). In these methods, aryl bromides or iodides are coupled with aryl Grignard reagents,152 with arylboronic acids ArB(OH)2,153 with aryltin compounds Ar-SnR3,154 and with arylmercury compounds.155 Unsymmetrical binaphthyls were synthesized by photochemically stimulated reaction of naphthyl iodides with naphthoxide ions in an SrnI reaction.156 Grignard reagents also couple with aryl halides without a palladium catalyst, by the benzyne mechanism.157 OS VI, 916 65, 108 66, 67.

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of alkyl bromides with arylboron reagents represent another breakthrough for the development of a general method for arylation of alkyl halides. Fu found that the palladiumprimary alkyl bromides with various arylboronic acids (Equation 5.6) [10]. An air-stable commercially available preligand, [HP(t-Bu)2Me]BF4 5, also worked well with a variety of arylboronic acids and gave the same products in comparable yields, as shown in the parentheses in Equation 5.6.
