Organotin compounds, cross-coupling

The cross-coupling of organotin compounds with aryl chlorides can be realized with either PCy3 (Pd(OAc)2/PCy3, K3P04, dioxane, reflux)402 or P Bu3 (Pd2dba3/P/Bu3, Pd L=l 2, CsF,... 

A similarly high performance has been reported for oxime-derived (125) and benzylsulfide-derived (126) palladacycles.438 These precatalysts are effective in the cross-coupling of arylboronic acids,438,439 organotin compounds,440 and terminal acetylenes441 with aryl iodides and bromides, and of activated aryl chlorides. SC-palladacycles can effect the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction even at room temperature. 

The addition of LiCl and Cul, and triphenylarsine as ligand are required to suppress side-reactions in the carbonylative cross-coupling of geminally substituted alkenyl triflate in the synthesis of sarcodictyin. Stereochemical configuration of the double bond of organotin compound was completely lost in this reaction (Equation (5)). " ... 

Organotin compounds can be effectively used as substrates in the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of alkenyliodonium salts [66,67]. For example, the reaction of alkenyliodonium triflate 84 with 5-stannylated uracil 83 proceeds smoothly to provide cross-coupled products 87 in moderate yield. The same products 87 are obtained in almost quantitative yield in the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of uracil iodonium triflate 85 and vinyltin 86 (Scheme 39) [67]. 

Dichloropyridine reacts in the dark (88% of disubstitution), whereas 2,6- and 3,5-dichloropyridines require photostimulation to afford ca. 80% yield of disubstitution products [26]. Aryltrialkylstannanes are valuable intermediates in organic synthesis, and the fact that they can be easily synthesized through the SRN1 mechanism, opens up important synthetic routes to different reaction schemes. For over a decade, the Pd(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling of organotin compounds with electrophiles, known as the Stille reaction, has been a very important tool in product design [104].
