9-Decen-l-ol is oxidized by air to 9-decenoic acid in aqueous media in the presence of a supported platinum catalyst with bismuth atoms deposited on the surface of the platinum particles [221]. Metal-supported bismuth catalysts have been studied extensively for selective oxidation of hydrocarbons and alcohols for industrial use [222]. 

Autoxidation of cyclohexene is mediated by 812(804)3 to give 1-cyclopentene-l-carboxylic acid in 90-92% yield [232], The selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides is accomplished by Bi(NO3)3, both stoichiometrically [233] and catalytically with air [234].

The Diels-Alder reaction is the most widely used carbon-carbon, carbon-heteroatom and heteroatom-heteroatom bond-forming reaction for the construction of six-membered rings therefore it is not surprising that many methods have been used to accelerate the reaction and to improve its selectivity. Chapters 2, 3 and 5 illustrate the effects of temperature, Lewis acids and pressure, respectively this chapter provides a survey of other physical and chemical methods by which the Diels-Alder reaction can be profitably carried out.

Recently, interest in copper-catalyzed carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions has shifted to the use of boronic acids as reactive coupling partners [133], One example of carbon-sulfur bond formation is displayed in Scheme 6.65. Lengar and Kappe have reported that, in contrast to the palladium(0)/copper(l)-mediated process described in Scheme 6.55, which leads to carbon-carbon bond formation, reaction of the same starting materials in the presence of 1 equivalent of copper(II) acetate and 2 equivalents of phenanthroline ligand furnishes the corresponding carbon-sulfur cross-coupled product [113]. Whereas the reaction at room temperature needed 4 days to reach completion, microwave irradiation at 85 °C for 45 min in 1,2-dichloroethane provided a 72% isolated yield of the product.

Scheme 3 shows the conceivable reaction sites of alkenylbismuthonium salts, alkynylbismuthonium salts, bismuth ylides, and bismuth imides in carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond forming reactions. In the initial step, nucleophiles (Nu) attack the positively charged bismuth(V) center, a-proton or (3-carbon (Scheme 3a, b) whereas electrophiles (El) attack the negatively charged a-carbon or a-nitrogen (Scheme 3c, d). Usually, the resulting bismuth(V) intermediates...

In spite of their relatively young age palladium and nickel catalyzed carbon-heteroatom bond forming reactions, also known as the Buchwald-Hartwig reaction, have gained significant importance amongst synthetic... 

A significant part of the examples of transition metal catalyzed formation of five membered heterocycles utilizes a carbon-heteroatom bond forming reaction as the concluding step. The palladium or copper promoted addition of amines or alcohols onto unsaturated bonds (acetylene, olefin, allene or allyl moieties) is a prime example. This chapter summarises all those catalytic transformations, where the five membered ring is formed in the intramolecular connection of a carbon atom and a heteroatom, except for annulation reactions, involving the formation of a carbon-heteroatom bond, which are discussed in Chapter 3.4. 

The introduction of nucleophiles onto five membered heterocycles through non-catalyzed aromatic nucleophilic substitution is of little synthetic value, since the comparatively high electron density of the aromatic ring makes the nucleophilic attack unfavourable. The introduction of transition metal catalyzed carbon-heteroatom bond forming reactions overcame this difficulty and led to a rapid increase in the number of such transformations. 

Carbon-heteroatom bond forming reactions are also efficient in introducing amines onto other five membered heterocycles. 2-, and 3-bromothiophene were both coupled with diphenylamine using the highly active palladium-PlBih catalyst system. The reactions furnished the desired products in both cases, although the yield varied significantly with the substitution pattern (6.75.),106... 

The copper catalyzed carbon-heteroatom bond forming reactions are also efficient in the introduction of oxygen and phosphorous based substitutents onto the aromatic ring. 3-Iodopyridine was reacted with -butanol in the presence of 10 mol% copper(I) iodide and 20 mol% 1,10-phenantroline... 

The last example focuses not on the functionalization of heterocycles by a transition metal mediated carbon-heteroatom bond forming reaction, but the palladium catalyzed conversion of primary amines, including amino-heterocycles, into urea derivatives. A representative example, shown in 8.38., includes the reaction of an amino-carbazole derivative with morpholine, carbon monoxide and oxygen in the presence of catalytic amounts of palladium(II) iodide. The formation of the urea moiety proceeds with great selectivity and in high yield.49 The reaction works equally well for primary aliphatic and aromatic amines.
