Iodobenzene, preparation reactions

The ylide was prepared by reaction of ethyl (nonafluorobutyl-sulfonyl)acetate with diacetoxy iodobenzene. Subsequent reaction with alkenes in presence of Cu(OTf)2 afforded the y-lactones. 

Zhou and coworkers [67] prepared Pd nanoparticles in situ in the H O/TX-lOO/ [bmim][PFg] microemulsion and used this microemulsion system to catalyze the Heck reaction of butyl acrylate with iodobenzene. The reaction time was decreased compared with conventional solvent system. Other Heck reactions relating to the coupling of iodobenzene and methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate and styrene were also investigated with high yields. All the results indicated that the HjO/TX-100/[bmim] [PF ] microemulsion containing Pd nanoparticles was a very efficient catalyst system for the ligand-free Heck reaction. 

Many examples of insertions of internal alkynes are known. Internal alkynes react with aryl halides in the presence of formate to afford the trisubstituted alkenes[271,272]. In the reaction of the terminal alkyne 388 with two molecules of iodobenzene. the first step is the formation of the phenylacetylene 389. Then the internal alkyne bond, thus produced, inserts into the phenyl-Pd bond to give 390. Finally, hydrogenolysis with formic acid yields the trisubstituted alkene 391(273,274], This sequence of reactions is a good preparative method for trisubstituted alkenes from terminal alkynes. 

The Li compound 588 formed by the ort/io-lithiation of A. A -dimethylaniline reacts with vinyl bromide to give the styrene derivative 589(433]. The 2-phe-nylindole 591 is formed by the coupling of l-methyl-2-indolylmagnesium formed in situ from the indolyllithium 590 and MgBr2, with iodobenzene using dppb[434]. 2-Furyl- and 2-thienyllithium in the presence of MgBr2 react with alkenyl halides[435]. The arylallenes 592 and 1,2,4-alkatrienes are prepared by the coupling reaction of the allenyllithium with aryl or alkenyl halides[436]. 

Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl substituted boron complexes arc obtamed by the reaction of the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl anion with boron tnfluonde [109] (Table 27) Similarly, the Gngnard reagent prepared from 3,5-bis(tnfluorometh-yl)iodobenzene reacts with sodium tetrafluoroborate to form the phase-transfer eatalyst 2 under anhydrous eonditions [110] (equation 87)... 

One of the best methods for the introduction of iodine into aromatic rings is the reaction of diazonium salts with iodide ions. Analogous reactions with chloride, bromide, and fluoride ions give poorer results, and 14-25 and 13-20 are preferred for the preparation of aryl chlorides, bromides, and fluorides. However, when other diazonium reactions are carried out in the presence of these ions, halides are usually side products. Aniline has also been converted to fluorobenzene by treatment with t-BuONO and Sip4 followed by heating. A related reaction between PhN=N—N C4Hg and iodine gave iodobenzene. ... 

The de Meijere group [63] prepared interesting spiro-compounds containing a cyclopropyl moiety using a combination of a Heck and a Diels-Alder reaction, with bicyclopropylidene 6/1-115 as the starting material. The transformation can be performed as a three-component process. Thus, reaction of 6/1-115, iodobenzene and acrylate gave 6/1-116 in excellent yield. With vinyliodide, the tricyclic compound 6/1-117 was obtained (Scheme 6/1.31). Several other examples were also described. 

Quinoxalines 85 have been prepared by the reaction of diols with benzene-1,2-diamines in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst <06TL5633>. Iodobenzene diacetate has been suggested as a less toxic alternative to lead tetraacetate for the oxidative cyclisation of iminooximes to quinoxaline iV-oxides 86 <06TL4969>. 

The second most popular method of oxadiazole preparation starts from acylhydrazones 110, which undergo cyclization usually under the action of oxidizing agents (Br2, PhN02, HgO, iodobenzene diacetate). Also, the use of acetic anhydride can lead to cyclization of compound 110. The cyclization can be supported by microwave irradiation. In particular cases, heating is sufficient to accomplish the reaction. 

Several approaches to the 1,2,3-triazole core have been published in 2000. Iodobenzene diacetate-mediated oxidation of hydrazones 152 led to fused 1,2,3-triazoloheterocycles 153 <00SC417>. Treatment of oxazolone 154 with iso-pentyl nitrite in the presence of acetic acid gave 1,2,3-triazole 155, a precursor to 3-(W-l,2,3-triazolyl)-substituted a,P-unsaturated a amino acid derivatives <00SC2863>. Aroyl-substituted ketene aminals 156 reacted with aryl azides to provide polysubstituted 1,23-triazoles 157 <00HC387>. 2-Aryl-2T/,4/f-imidazo[43-d][l,2,3]triazoles 159 were prepared from the reaction of triethyl AM-ethyl-2-methyl-4-nitro-l//-imidazol-5-yl phosphoramidate (158) with aryl isocyanates <00TL9889>. 

Finally, Cristau and coworkers have reported on a quite efficient preparation of triphenylphosphine oxide (Figure 2.13) by a similar addition-elimination reaction of red phosphorus with iodobenzene in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst followed by oxidation of an intermediate tetraarylphosphonium salt.42 This approach holds the potential for the preparation of a variety of triarylphosphine oxides without proceeding through the normally used Grignard reagent. Of course, a variety of approaches is available for the efficient reduction of phosphine oxides and quaternary phosphonium salts to the parent phosphine, including the use of lithium aluminum hydride,43 meth-ylpolysiloxane,44 trichlorosilane,45 and hexachlorodisilane.46... 

Additional examples of palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings, in particular with allenylzinc compounds, can be found elsewhere [11, 15, 36]. A systematic study comparing several chiral palladium phosphine catalysts in the reaction of 4,4-di-methyl-1,2-pentadienylzinc chloride and iodobenzene revealed that an enantiomeric excess of only 25% was obtained from the best catalyst combination PdCl2 and (R,R)-DIOP [15]. The synthetic value of these transformations of donor-substituted allenes as precursors is documented by the preparation of a/l-unsaturatcd carbonyl... 

Fused isooxazolidines can be prepared efficiently in a one-pot procedure, which involves a sequence of a Pd-catalyzed reaction of iodobenzene with allene, nucleophilic substitution and nitrone 1,3-dipolar cycioaddition (1,3-DC) (Scheme 16.14) [18]-... 

The a-halo ketone has also been prepared in situ (NBS, benzoyl peroxide, light) [89IJC(B)500]. Similarly, imidazo[2,l-b][l,3,4]thiadiazoles are accessible from 2-amino-l,3,4-thiadiazoles and acetophenones in the presence of hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodobenzene (HTIB). This latter method has been proposed as more convenient and versatile than the reaction of 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadizoles with a-halo ketones [94IJC(B)686, 94JCR(S)38, 94MI5],... 

Yamamoto and coworkers utilized the resultant product from the palladium catalyzed reaction of l-fluoro-2-iodobenzene with the trifluorovinylzinc reagent to prepare a tri-fluorovinylimide, which on thermal dimerization at 140-160 °C gave predominantly the -cyclobutane, whose structure was established by X-ray crystallography (Scheme 4)60. 

The palladium catalysed sequential alkylation-alkenylation of 5-iodoquinoline leads to the formation of the quinolooxepin ring system (5.20.), The process, closely related to the Catellani reaction,19 runs through an ort/zo-alkylation - Heck reaction sequence. The preparation of a series of benzoxepines has also been achieved in this manner, starting from such iodobenzene derivatives, where one of the or/7 o-positions was blocked by substitution.20... 

The coupling of aryl halides with copper is called the Ullmann reaction.m The reaction is of broad scope and has been used to prepare many symmetrical and unsymmetrical biaryls.187 When a mixture of two different aryl halides is used, there are three possible products, but often only one is obtained. For example, picryl chloride and iodobenzene gave only 2,4,6-trinitrobiphenyl.188 The best leaving group is iodo, and the reaction is most often done on aryl iodides, but bromides, chlorides, and even thiocyanates have been used.
