Heck palladium-catalyzed

Reaction of 2-bromoacetophenone 45 with dimethylfomiamide dimethylacetal (DMF-DMA) to the intermediate enaminoketones followed by reaction with various arylhydrazines afforded diarylpyrazoles 46, which underwent Mizoroki-Heck palladium-catalyzed intramolecular couplings to give pyrazolo[l,5-/ phenanthridines 47 <030L1095>.

Palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions of organic halides with olefins or dienes (R. F. Heck, 1979) are broad in scope and simple to carry out. Anhydrous conditions or any special technique are not required and most functional groups are tolerated. 

Heck reaction, palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions between organohalides or triflates with olefins (72JOC2320), can take place inter- or intra-molecularly. It is a powerful carbon-carbon bond forming reaction for the preparation of alkenyl- and aryl-substituted alkenes in which only a catalytic amount of a palladium(O) complex is required. 

Due to their successful synthesis of 2-(4 -chlorophenyl)-4-iodoquinoline from the corresponding precursor acetylene, Arcadi et al. (99T13233) developed a one-step synthesis of 2,4-disubstituted quinolines via palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions. An example is the Heck reaction of 4-iodoquinoline (131) with a-acetamidoacrylate (132). This one-pot synthesis yielded adduct 133 in 50% overall yield after purification via flash chromatography. 

The Heck reaction is considered to be the best method for carbon-carbon bond formation by substitution of an olefinic proton. In general, yields are good to very good. Sterically demanding substituents, however, may reduce the reactivity of the alkene. Polar solvents, such as methanol, acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide or hexamethylphosphoric triamide, are often used. Reaction temperatures range from 50 to 160 °C. There are various other important palladium-catalyzed reactions known where organopalladium complexes are employed however, these reactions must not be confused with the Heck reaction. 

Closely related to the Heck reaction is the Sonogashira reaction i.e. the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of a vinyl or aryl halide 20 and a terminal alkyne 21 ... 

Together with reactions named after Heck and Suzuki, the Stille reac-tion belongs to a class of modern, palladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond forming reactions. The palladium-catalyzed reaction of an organotin compound 2 with a carbon electrophile 1 is called Stille coupling. 

Palladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond forming reactions like the Suzuki reac-tion as well as the Heck reaction and the Stille reaction, have in recent years gained increased importance in synthetic organic chemistry. In case of the Suzuki reaction, an organoboron compound—usually a boronic acid—is reacted with an aryl (or alkenyl, or alkynyl) halide in the presence of a palladium catalyst. 

The use of ionic liquids as reaction media for the palladium-catalyzed Heck reaction was first described by Kaufmann et ak, in 1996 [85]. Treatment of bromoben-zene with butyl acrylate to provide butyl trans-cinnamate succeeded in high yield in molten tetraallcylammonium and tetraallcylphosphonium bromide salts, without addition of phosphine ligands (Scheme 5.2-16). 

From a practical point of view, it is worth noting that Heck reactions catalyzed by Pd/P( -Bu)3 do not typically require rigorously purified reagents or solvents. In addition, the palladium and phosphine sources, Pd[P(7-Bu)3]2 and Pd2(dba)3, are commercially available and can be handled in air.

Phenyltrimethoxysilane 75 is activated by fluoride anion to 76, which undergoes palladium-catalyzed couphng with 4-methyliodobenzene 77 to give a nearly quantitative yield of 4-methyldiphenyl 78 [90]. Such Heck-, Stille-, or Suzuki-type C-C coupling of arylsilanes such as 75 were recently reviewed [91] (Scheme 2.12). 

The Heck coupling reaction appeared to be a route of choice to achieve the synthesis of the modified-DIOP ligands. We previously studied the palladium-catalyzed coupling of acrolein and acrolein acetals with several polyaromatic and heteroaromatic bromides either in the presence of homogeneous or heterogeneous catalytic systems (6, 7). After optimization of the reaction conditions, high conversions and selectivities were achieved except with anthracenyl derivatives (8). Based on these results, we developed the synthesis of the desired ligands. The... 

Diazonium salts react with various nucleophiles in water (Eq. 11.62).106 In acidic aqueous solution, p-pheny I e ncbis di azo ni um ion reacts with alcohols more rapidly than it does with water.107 In the presence of nucelophiles such as halides, the substitution products are obtained. Furthermore, diazonium salts of aromatic compounds are excellent substrates for palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions such as the Heck-type reactions in water. 

Phosphine ligands based on the ferrocene backbone are very efficient in many palladium-catalyzed reactions, e.g., cross-coupling reactions,248 Heck reaction,249 amination reaction,250 and enantioselective synthesis.251 A particularly interesting example of an unusual coordination mode of the l,l -bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) ligand has been reported. Dicationic palladium(II) complexes, such as [(dppf)Pd(PPh3)]2+[BF4 ]2, were shown to contain a palladium-iron bond.252,253 Palladium-iron bonds occur also in monocationic methyl and acylpalladium(II) complexes.254 A palladium-iron interaction is favored by bulky alkyl substituents on phosphorus and a lower electron density at palladium. 

Palladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon cross-coupling reactions are among the best studied reactions in recent decades since their discovery [102, 127-130], These processes involve molecular Pd complexes, and also palladium salts and ligand-free approaches, where palladium(O) species act as catalytically active species [131-135]. For example, the Heck reaction with aryl iodides or bromides is promoted by a plethora of Pd(II) and Pd(0) sources [128, 130], At least in the case of ligand-free palladium sources, the involvement of soluble Pd NPs as a reservoir for catalytically active species seems very plausible [136-138], Noteworthy, it is generally accepted that the true catalyst in the reactions catalyzed by Pd(0) NPs is probably molecular zerovalent species detached from the NP surface that enter the main catalytic cycle and subsequently agglomerate as N Ps or even as bulk metal. 

The double-Heck-approach can also be employed for the preparation of novel heterocyclic compounds as 6/1-25 and 6/1-26 (Scheme 6/1.4) [24]. Thus, the palladium-catalyzed reaction of 6/1-21 and the cyclic enamide 6/1-22 gave a Oil-mixture of 6/1-23 and 6/1-24, which in a second Heck reaction using the palladacene 6/1-15 led to 6/1-25 and 6/1-26 in an overall yield of 44—49%. The synthesis can also be performed as a domino process using a mixture of Pd(OAc)2 and the palladacene 6/1-15. 

It is well known that minor changes in conditions can have dramatic effects on the products obtained. For example, Heck s group [31] described the palladium-catalyzed reaction of iodobenzene 6/1-42 and 2 equiv. of diphenylacetylene 6/1-43 in... 

Thus, [HRh(C0)(TPPTS)3]/H20/silica (TPPTS = sodium salt of tri(m-sulfophenyl)phopshine) catalyzes the hydroformylation of heavy and functionalized olefins,118-122 the selective hydrogenation of a,/3-unsaturated aldehydes,84 and the asymmetric hydrogenation of 2-(6 -methoxy-2 -naphthyl)acrylic add (a precursor of naproxen).123,124 More recently, this methodology was tested for the palladium-catalyzed Trost Tsuji (allylic substitution) and Heck (olefin arylation) reactions.125-127... 

Therefore, a good catalyst leads to weak fluorescence in the Heck product (15). A relatively small library of 96 known phosphines was tested in the palladium-catalyzed Heck coupling. Several sterically hindered ligands led to high catalyst activity. Fluorescence tags have also been used in the combinatorial search for metal-free catalysts in other types of reaction.42,43... 

Bisacid 91 was used toward three different targets. For the first, a palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative Heck reaction followed by perylenequinone formation provided bis-styryl derivative 92 (Scheme 7.22) [52]. For the second, the C5,C5 -benzyl ethers were cleaved, and the more acidic carboxylic acids were then selectively benzylated using BnBr and K2CO3 (Scheme 7.22). This re-esterification...
