Heteroaromatic compounds coupling with

The CDC reaction of arenes and alkenes can be applied to heteroaromatic compounds. Coupling with furan, thiophene, pyrrole, benzofuran. 

The cross-coupling of aromatic and heteroaromatic rings has been carried out extensively[555]. Tin compounds of heterocycles such as oxazo-lines[556,557], thiophene[558,559], furans[558], pyridines[558], and seleno-phenes [560] can be coupled with aryl halides. The syntheses of the phenylo.xazoline 691[552], dithiophenopyridine 692[56l] and 3-(2-pyridyl)qui-noline 693[562] are typical examples. 

Diazo coupling involves the N exocyclic atom of the diazonium salt, which acts as an electrophilic center. The diazonium salts of thiazoles couple with a-naphthol (605). 2-nitroresorcinol (606), pyrocatechol (607-609), 2.6-dihydroxy 4-methyl-5-cyanopyridine (610). and other heteroaromatic compounds (404. 611) (Scheme 188). The rates of coupling between 2-diazothicizolium salts and 2-naphthol-3.6-disulfonic acid were measured spectrophotometrically and found to be slower than that of 2-diazopyridinium salts but faster than that of benzene diazonium salts (561 i. The bis-diazonium salt of bis(2-amino-4-methylthiazole) couples with /3-naphthol to give 333 (Scheme 189) (612). The products obtained from the diazo coupling are usuallv highly colored (234. 338. 339. 613-616).

The first group consists of monocyclic heteroaromatic compounds with one heteroatom and without strongly electron-donating substitutents (OH, NH2). Pyrrole, furan, and thiophene are better electron donors than benzene. The order of their reactivities in azo coupling is thiophene > pyrrole > furan > benzene. 

The arylation of heteroaromatic compounds is also achieved by aryl-aryl coupling reaction. The arylation of A-methylimidazole with bromobenzene occurs under palladium catalysis (Equation (62)).72 The arylation of thiazole with aryl iodide occurs at the 2-position under PdCl2(PPh3)2/CuI catalysis.73 In this case, tetrabutylammonium fluoride improves the activity of the catalyst. Alternatively, thiazoles and benzothiazole are efficiently arylated... 

Costanzo et al. <2002MI87> published the synthesis of the furyl-substituted pyrazolo[3,2-f][l,2,4]triazine derivative 146 by Suzuki coupling of the iodo compound 145 with 2-furylboronic acid. The yield was found to be moderate (38%). It may be important to mention that these authors also tried to transform 145 to a heteroaromatic boronic acid and to carry out cross-coupling of this compound with 3-bromofuran. Unfortunately, however, this approach failed and only homo-coupling occurred. 

For more volatile compounds in soils, such as aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, chloroaliphatic hydrocarbons, haloaromatic hydrocarbons, acetonitrile, acrylonitrile and mixtures of organic compounds a combination of gas chromatography with purge and trap analysis is extremely useful. Pyrolysis gas chromatography has also found several applications, heteroaromatic hydrocarbons, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, polymers and haloaromatic compounds and this technique has been coupled with mass spectrometry, (aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and mixtures of organic compounds). 

Single-bond 13C- H coupling constants for six-membered heteroaromatic compounds lie in the approximate range 150-220 Hz, the magnitude varying with substituent electronegativity. Data for... 

The coupling of aryl- and alkenylzinc reagents with various halides has widespread use in the cross-coupling of aromatic rings [101]. The reactions of zinc derivatives of aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds with aryl and heterocyclic halides have wide synthetic applications [103,104],... 

As described in Section III.1.4.1.1, the catalytic direct arylation reactions of aromatic compounds occurs effectively via C-H bond cleavage when the substrates are appropriately functionalized. On the other hand, various five-membered heteroaromatic compounds involving one or two heteroatoms, even without a functional group, are known to undergo arylation, usually at their 2- and/or 5-posi-tion(s), on treatment with aryl halides under the action of palladium catalysis. The coupling has recently been developed significantly [1, 2]. Representative examples with some mechanistic discussion are summarized in this section.

Several acetylenic compounds undergo successful coupling with halogen compounds in which halogen is linked to sp -carbon (vinylic, allenic, aromatic and heteroaromatic halogen compounds). In all cases a stoichiometrical amount of a copper(I) salt appears to be necessary, which makes the syntheses less attractive for performance cm a larger scale [196]. 

Bromoisoquinoline did not react with MeS ions in liquid ammonia, but 80% yield of the substitution product 4-isoquinolyl methyl sulphide was formed in the presence of amide ions. Isoquinoline and many other nitrogen-containing heteroaromatic compounds are known to react with amide ions to give anionic adducts 242289, which have been proposed to initiate the S l reaction by an ET to the substrate, which leads to the hetaryl radical. The radical couples only with MeS" ions 29°. 

This may imply that the intermolecular coupling of various aryl halides with other heteroaromatic compounds may proceed. Indeed, it is now known that not only the special heteroaromatic halides but also usual aryl halides can react with a variety of five-membered aromatic heterocycles, including furans, thiophenes, and azole compounds such as M-substituted imidazoles, oxazoles, and thiazoles [133-137]. The arylation of azoles can be carried out using iodobenzoate immobilized on an insoluble polymer support [138]. Related intermolecular reactions of indole [139] and imidazole [140] derivatives have also been reported.
