Heck coupling reactions tandem

Palladium-catalyzed Direct Arylation of Indoles and Thiophenes. Five-membered ring heterocycles possessing only one heteroatom and no Af-oxide function can also be arylated using palladium(II) complexes, a phosphine ligand, and an inorganic base. In one example, a tandem palladium-catalyzed Heck coupling reaction and direct intramolecular C2 arylation reaction on a )V-(2-chlorobenzyl)-5-bromoindole was reported (eq 30). The procedure, which is catalyzed by palladium acetate, uses tn-tert-butylphosphonium tetrafluoroborate as a ligand and ferf-butyl acrylate as the alkene for the Heck reaction (eq 30). ... 

Intramolecular oxo- or aminopaUadation provides an eflFicient tool for the preparation of various heterocyclic derivatives in recent years. In 2010, Alvarez et al. reported an effcient palladium-catalyzed tandem intramolecular oxopalladation/oxidative Heck coupling reaction toward benzofuians 196 [77] (Scheme 6.54). Nucleophilic attack of the oxygen to the activated carbon-carbon triple bond furnishes vinylpal-ladium intermediate 197, followed by alkene insertion into the C-Pd bond to afford alkylpalladium intermediate 198. The final product was generated via P-hydride elimination of intermediate 198. 

Although aryl and vinyl halides have found vast applications in Heck coupling, aromatic diazonium salts, particularly the isolable tetrafluoroborates, proved successful in the work of Kikukawa et al. [23 a, b] and a one-pot reaction with the C-C-coupling step [23 c-e]. Extensions of this tandem diazotation Heck reaction technique were reported by Beller et al. (eq. (5)) [23 f], including heterogeneous Pd/carbon catalysts [23 g]. 

There are a few efficient methods for the stereoselective synthesis of vinyl halides, and this transformation remains a synthetic challenge. Research by S. Roy showed that the Hunsdiecker reaction can be made metal free and catalytic catalytic Hunsdiecker reaction) and can be used to prepare ( )-vinyl halides from aromatic a,p-unsaturated carboxylic acids. The unsaturated aromatic acids were mixed with catalytic amounts of TBATFA and the A/-halo-succinimide was added in portions over time at ambient temperature. The yields are good to excellent even for activated aromatic rings which do not undergo the classical Hunsdiecker reaction. The fastest halodecarboxylation occurs with NBS, but NCS and NIS are considerably slower. The nature of the applied solvents is absolutely critical, and DCE proved to be the best. This strategy was extended and applied in the form of a one-pot tandem Hunsdiecker reaction-Heck coupling to prepare aryl substituted (2 ,4 )-dienoic acids, esters, and amides.

Heck reaction. For this extremely valuable method of coupling unsaturated fragments, there are many variants with respect to substrate structures, additives, and reaction conditions. For instance, a solid-phase synthesis of styrenecarboxylic acids has been reported. The employment of diazonium salts in the Heck reaction is successful the presence of water does not seem to affect the efficiency (and in fact it was reported that water facilitates reactions of some other types of substrates). It is also possible to conduct the coupling in tandem with diazotization," which is carried out with BuONO-HOAc in CH2CI2 at room temperature. 

In a narrower sense, this review covers intramolecular Mizoroki-Heck [1] reactions forming carbocycles [2] that is, the palladium-catalyzed intramolecular coupling of vinyl/aryl (pseudo-)halides with an alkene tethered by a hydrocarbon chain. Ring closures furnishing heterocycles are covered in Chapter 6 also beyond the scope of this chapter are the domino/cascade or tandem (Chapter 8) and asymmetric processes (Chapters 12 and 16) dealing with formation of a carbocycle. 

Heck reactions and coupling reactions may be combined into tandem processes (Scheme 5.53). Often the coupling proceeds first as transmetallation is usually faster than insertion. This is the case in the conversion... 

A tandem palladium-catalysed ort/io-alkylation/intramolecular Heck reaction coupling sequence was used effectively to access in fair yields the tetrahydro 1-benzoxepines 67 from the iodoaryl precursor 66 and the appropriate alkyl bromide.

The first high yielding one-pot tandem Hartwig-Buchwald-Heck cyclization was reported and applied to the synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted indoles [201]. Commercially available enone 123 was coupled with 1,2-dibromobenzene to provide A -arylcncaminonc 124 which subsequently cyclized to indole derivative 125 [201]. This reaction was widely applicable to a variety of electron rich, electron poor and neutral aromatic bromides and chlorides as well as heterocyclic halides. Excellent yields were obtained regardless of the substitution pattern on the aromatic halide.
