Palladium catalysis cross coupling

The synthesis of phosphino sulfoximine 97 relied significantly on the successful development of methods pursued in parallel in our group. Whereas palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings between 53 and 98 proceeded in low yield, the copper catalysis with a combination of copper(l) iodide and cesium acetate worked well, affording 99 in up to 83% yield [78]. The resulting phosphine oxides 99 were then reduced to the corresponding phosphines 97 using a mixture of trichlorosilane and triethylamine (Scheme 2.1.1.33). 

This approach has now been applied to a broad range of catalytic reactions, such as hydrogenation, hydroformyla-tion, hydroboration, and many palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, and excellent catalyst recovery and reuse have been reported. Although there are many comprehensive reviews of fluorous biphase catalysis,the...

In 2003, when the second edition appeared, it was clear that the Stille chemistr/ had really come of age, as shown by the increasing number of applications of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of vinyl- and arylstannanes in natural product synthesis and in advanced organic synthesis. In the past decade, these types of applications, of course, remained very important and, in addition, the use of allylstannanes in palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions received much attention. Cross-coupling of allylstannanes with imines also forwarded the area of asymmetric catalysis.

In an era of growing concern about the human energy demands and its consequences for the environment, the importance of catalysis is evident. One of the most ubiquitous families of catalytic cycles is that of cross-coupling reactions [1,2]. These catalytic cycles can be applied to form carbon-carbon bonds, which are of paramount importance for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, as well as materials. The active catalytic species in these cross couplings is a transition metal complex, often based on palladium (Scheme 1). The ongoing importance of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions has been emphasized by the fact that it was the topic of the 2010 Nobel Prize in chemistry [3-5].
