Palladium-catalysed reactions metallation

From these results it can be seen that in the hydrogenation of 1,2-dialkylcyclohexenes the expected cis-1,2-dialkylcyclohexane is not the sole product. Similarly, in the hydrogenation of the 1,4-dialky lcyclohexenes where both the cis- and trans-cyclohexanes are expected, the trans-isomer being the thermodynamically more stable, the stereoselectivity varies from metal to metal. Thus with palladium, the cis/trans ratio approaches the equilibrium composition, whereas with platinum and rhodium, the equilibrium composition is never approached. It is also instructive to note that in the palladium-catalysed reactions, hydrogenation is accompanied by extensive alkene isomerisation [220—223], whereas with rhodium and platinum, little or no isomerisation is observed [220,... 

Palladium-catalysed reactions of dimetallic compounds 358 such as X2B—BX2, R3Sn—SnR3, R3S11—SiR3 or R3Si—SiR3 with halides via oxidative addition and transmetallation are useful for the preparation of carbon main group metal bonds 359. 

In addition to the very important palladium-catalysed reactions, boronic acids undergo a number of useful reactions that do not require transition-metal catalysis, particularly those involving electrophilic ipso-substitutions by carbon electrophiles. The Petasis reaction involves ip,y(9-replacement of boron under Mannich-like conditions and is successful with electron-rich heterocyclic boronic acids. A variety of quinolines and isoquinolines, activated by ethyl pyrocarbonate, have been used as the Mannich reagent . A Petasis reaction on indole 3-boronic acids under standard conditions was an efficient route to very high de a-indolylglycines. " ... 

This chapter describes in general terms the types of reactivity found in the typical six-and five-membered aromatic heterocycles. In addition to discussions of classical substitution chemistry, considerable space is devoted to radical substitution, metallation and palladium-catalysed reactions, since these areas have become very important in heterocyclic manipulations. In order to gain a proper appreciation of their importance in the heterocyclic context we provide an introduction to these topics, since they are only poorly covered in general organic text-books. Emphasis on the typical chemistry of individual heterocyclic systems is to be found in the summary/revision chapters (4, 7, 10, 12, 16, and 20) and a more detailed examination, of typical heterocyclic reactivity, and many more examples for particular heterocyclic systems are to be found in the chapters - Pyridines reactions and synthesis etc. For the advanced student, it is recommended that this present chapter should be read in its entirety before moving on to the later chapters, and that the introductory summary/revision chapters, like Typical reactivity of pyridines, quinolines and isoquinolines should be read before the more detailed discussions. 

The most important developments in heterocyclic chemistry in the last twenty or so years are probably in the area of organometallic chemistry, particularly transition-metal-catalysed reactions and the reactions of lithio-derivatives, reflecting development in these areas in organic chemistry as a whole. Even since the 3rd Edition of this book, significant further advances have been made, with improved preparations of boron, magnesium, and zinc compounds and with new ligands for palladium-catalysed reactions which considerably broaden their scope.

Chapter 2 is an advanced essay on heterocyclic chemistry. Sections can be sampled as required - Electrophilic substitution could be read at the point at which the student was studying electrophilic substitutions of, say, thiophene -or it can be read as a whole. We have devoted considerable space in chapter 2 to discussions of radical substitution, metallation, and palladium-catalysed reactions. These topics have grown enormously in importance since the last edition of the book, are of great relevance to heterocyclic chemistry, and are relatively poorly explained in general textbooks. 

The palladium catalysed reaction -follows a rate law which is independent on the substrate concentration, but dependent on the CO pressure. In a later work, a AS =-233 J mol " "K, instead o-f -414, has been reported -for this react i on [1843, tor which it has been confirmed a zero order in substrate and first order in each metallic component and in CO pressure. The carbonyl ation of an intermediate complex forming the isocyanate is considered the rate determinin step in the palladium-catalysed reaction. In this work[183j, the oxidative addition of the nitro compound to the catalyst was considered a more likely rate determining step in the case of the rhodium-catalysed reaction. 

The involvement of very small particles of palladium metal ranging in size from a few to hundreds of nanometres in Mizoroki-Heck reactions, as well as in other palladium-catalysed reactions, is well-known. 

The use of transition-metal catalysts in the substitution of aryl halides by amines has been reviewed. There has also been a summary of the use of palladium catalysts in the reaction of aryl and heteroaryl halides with primary and secondary amines. It has been shown that the amination of aryl sulfamates by aliphatic amines may be achieved using a nickel catalyst with an A-heterocyclic carbene ligand. Suitable ligands for nickel and palladium in the catalysed amination reactions of aryl sulfamates and imidazolylsulfonates have been identified. " The palladium-catalysed reaction of aryl nonafluorobutanesulfonates with primary sulfonamides may yield substituted products such as (22). Kinetic data suggest that reductive elimination from the palladium intermediate is likely to be rate limiting. A-Arylmethanesulfonamides may also be formed from aryl bromides and chlorides using a palladium catalyst... 

The palladium-catalysed reaction of the pyrazolo-pyrimidine derivative (141) with 3-bromotoluene may result in arylation at the 3-position in the pyrazole ring or at an sp hybridized site in the 7-methyl side-chain depending on the base and ligands used. After initial insertion of the palladium catalyst into the aryl halide bond, palladation of (141) occurs by a concerted metalation-deprotonation pathway and is followed by reductive elimination. Concerted metalation-deprotonation is also likely in the palladium-acetate-catalysed reaction of imidazo[l,2-a]pyridines with aryl bromides to give 3-substituted derivatives such as (142). A careful mechanistic study of the arylation of pyridine A-oxide by bromotoluene, catalysed by palladium acetate and t-butylphosphine, has shown that direct reactions of an aryl palladium complex with...
