Mizoroki-Heck reaction synthetic application

Attention has been paid to P-C bond cleavage of organophosphorus compounds not only for synthetic application but also for understanding of a deactivation process in Mizoroki-Heck reaction [161], Migita-Kosugi-Stille coupling [162], or hydroformylation [163]. Simultaneous arylation originated from triarylphosphine is sometimes involved (Eq. 3.42). 

While all these approaches point to various possible and often elegant solutions to the waste problem of the Mizoroki-Heck reaction, each still has its drawbacks. Thus, in the short term, customized solutions to minimize the waste effluent will be required for specific synthetic applications, until, in the long run, the ideal, generally applicable method is found. This could on the one hand ensue from the development of shape-selective C—H activation catalysts that by themselves are able to define the position of functionalization, to be used in the oxidative arylation of alkenes with either molecular oxygen or hydrogen peroxide... 

The use of nonclassical reaction conditions in Mizoroki-Heck reactions (e.g. ultrasound, microwaves, alternative solvent systems, or combinations of these methods) is known and has been reviewed excellently by Beletskaya and colleagues [9,12]. Here, we suimnarize the activities in the field of Mizorold-Heckreactionsfromapractical point of view, focusing on preparatively useful laboratory procedures and their possible application to industrial (large-scale) synthetic chenustry. 

The final common class of coupling reactions to form C-C bonds described here is the coupling of an aryl halide with an olefin to cleave the C-H bond of the olefin and replace it with an aryl group. This reaction, which is shown generically in Equation 19.18, was first reported by Mizoroki the synthetic utility of this process and e most useful conditions for this process at the time were reported by Heck. ° This process is often called the "Heck reaction," or more appropriately the "Mizoroki-Heck reaction." " The Heck reaction is most commonly conducted with electron-deficient olefins, such as styrene or acrylate derivatives. The electronic properties of these substrates tend to favor formation of the conjugated products. The reaction can also be conducted effectively with ethylene a Heck reaction between 6-methoxy-2-bromonaphthalene and ethylene is one step of a short, catalytic commercial synthesis of naproxen. In contrast, intermolecular reactions of internal olefins typically form mixtures of regioisomeric products. Intramolecular Mizoroki-Heck reactions with intemal olefins are more common. Mizoroki-Heck reactions of aliphatic electrophiles have been reported, but remain rare. Applications of the Mizoroki-Heck reaction have been reviewed. ... 

Alternatively, tetrahydroanthracene 85 was also obtained directly from symmetrical ditriflate 86 by a Suzuki cross-coupling/asymmetric Mizoroki-Heck cascade reaction. In this case, reaction of ditriflate 86 with alkylborane 82, Pd(OAc)2, (S)-BINAP and K2CO3 in THF at 60 °C directly gave product 85 in high enantiopurity, albeit in 20% yield. Although the yield for this one-pot conversion was poor, this transformation represents a novel application of the asymmetric Mizoroki-Heck cyclization and remains the only reported example of cascade Suzuki cross-coupling/asymmetric Mizoroki-Heck cyclization. A series of additional synthetic transformations was required to convert 85 to pentacyclic intermediate 87, which had earlier been converted by Harada et al. [53] to halenaquinone (88) and halenaquinol (89).
