Palladium carbonylative cross-coupling reactions

Recent contributions from Vogel s group have shown that, under CO atmosphere and in the presence of Pd2(dba)3 and Ph3As, 1-stannyl glycals can be carbonylated and coupled to organic halides (Scheme 6a),38 or vinyl triflates (Scheme 6b),39 in carbonylative Stifle cross-coupling processes.40 Also of interest is the palladium catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of... 

Alkenyliodonium salts can be used as highly reactive substrates for Heck-type olefination and similar palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions [63 -65]. In a recent example, a series of dienes 80 were stereo- and regioselectively prepared by a palladium-catalyzed Heck-type reaction of alkenyliodonium salts 79 with a,/3-unsaturated carbonyl compounds (Scheme 37) [64].

For the ketone synthesis via the present protocol, acid chlorides are useful precursors, in deed. Nevertheless, carbonylative cross coupling with organic halides is strategically the most simple and direct way to this purpose. The palladium-catalyzed carbonylative cross-coupling reaction with various organic halides has been extensively investigated, because of its merits from synthetic as well as phenomenal point of view. Acid chlorides are not always readily available, and their preparation is not always compatible with many sensitive functionalities. Therefore the development of this type of reaction widens the scope of the ketone synthesis in the present protocol because of the ready availability and storability of organic halides and pseudohalides.

An indium-mediated radical cyclization sequence has been used to synthesize stereoselectively 3-alkylideneoxindoles [65, 66]. The generation of predominantly the i -isomer, such as seen with 96 below, is attributed to the strong coordination of the indium to the carbonyl of the oxindole intermediate, and the transformation of various iodo-ynamides to the cyclized oxindoles occurred in good yield. Selective approaches to the E- and disubstituted 3-alkylideneoxindoles involving a tandem palladium-catalyzed cross coupling reaction were also highlighted in this report. 

Aryl ketones were formed from the Cr(CO)3 complex of (trialkylstannyl)ben-zene or chlorobenzene by a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction in the absence of external CO. The Cr(CO)3 moiety provides the required CO predominantly by an intramolecular mechanism. However, non-carbonylation products were also observed. 

In the total synthesis of (+)-lycopladine A by Toste et al. [30], a gold-catalyzed 5-endo cyclization of an iodoalkyne with a silyl enol ether has been used (Scheme 16.25). This transformation efficiently produces a -unsaturated bicyclic ketone that possesses the required quaternary asymmetric center at the position a to the carbonyl group. The vinyl iodide functionaiity generated during the cyclization was subsequently used in a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction in order to construct the pyridine ring of (-F)-lycopladine A. 

The ready availability of arylboronates by an aromatic C-H borylation provides a synthetic link to the well-established palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, rhodium-catalyzed 1,4-addition to a,p-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, and other bond forming reactions using arylboronic esters (Scheme 2.12). Borylation of 1,3-dichlorobenzene with pinacolborane is followed directly by a cross-coupling reaction with methyl p-bromobenzoate for the synthesis of a biaryl product in 91% yield [60]. Pinacol esters of arylboronic acids react much slower than the free acids [62], but both derivatives achieve high isolated yields and comparable enantioselectivities (91% ee) in asymmetric 1,4-addition to N-benzyl crotonamides [63]. Borylation of arenes followed by oxidation of the C-B bond is synthetically equivalent to an aromatic C-H oxidation to phenols [64]. Oxidation of the resulting arylboronates with Oxone in a 1 1 acetone-water solution is completed within 10 min at room temperature.

Palladium(0)-catalyzed coupling reactions - i. e. the Heck and Sonogashira reactions, the carbonylative coupling reactions, the Suzuki and Stille cross-coupling reactions, and allylic substitutions (Fig. 11.1) - have enabled the formation of many kinds of carbon-carbon attachments that were previously very difficult to make. These reactions are usually robust and occur in the presence of a wide variety of functional groups. The reactions are, furthermore, autocatalytic (i.e. the substrate regenerates the required oxidation state of the palladium) and a vast number of different ligands can be used to fine-tune the reactivity and selectivity of the reactions. 

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... 

A prototypical study for this section has been obtained as early as in 1983 for carbonylative cross-coupling of the mixture of aryl iodide and alkyl iodide in the presence of Zn metal and palladium catalyst. This system apparently works due to differences of reactivity of aryl versus alkyl iodide toward metallation by Zn. Further studies were rather scarce to involve only preformed functionalized alkylzincs. Carbonylative cross-coupling of functionalized organozinc reagents with allylic esters and GO (1 atm) can be carried out in THF in the presence of HMPA, which suppresses side-reactions (Scheme 4). ... 

An acyl-palladium complex might undergo a series of follow up reactions. Subsequent transmetalation and reductive elimination lead to the formation of a carbonyl compound. This process is also coined carbonylative coupling, referring to the cross-coupling reaction, which would take place in the absence of carbon monoxide under similar conditions (for more details see Chapter 2.4.).

However, for other palladium catalysed reactions of organozinc iodides with electrophiles, THF is a good choice of solvent. The incompatibility of THF and acid chlorides at ambient temperature can also be overcome, in some cases, by the use of a carbonylative cross-coupling in which an iodobenzene derivative is used as the precursor.17...
