The development of methods for aromatic substitution based on catalysis by transition metals, especially palladium, has led to several new methods for indole synthesis. One is based on an intramolecular Heck reaction in which an...

A few additional Pd-catalyzed schemes have been employed for Ilac type cyclization chemistry. Palladium-phenanthroline complexes were used by the Ragaini group to prepare indoles via the intermolecular cyclization of nitroarenes and alkynes in the presence of carbon monoxide <06JOC3748>. Jia and Zhu employed Pd-catalysis for the annulation of o-haloanilines with aldehydes <06JOC7826>. A one-pot Ugi/Heck reaction was employed in the preparation of polysubstituted indoles from a four-component reaction system of acrylic aldehydes, bromoanilines, acids, and isocyanides <06TL4683>. 

Stewart and Whiting have reported a useful application of sequential Heck and Suzuki coupling reactions of a vinylborane pinacol ester with palladium catalysis to generate a tetraene (equation 147)260.

Domino Heck-Diels-Alder type reaction has been demonstrated by the reaction of l,3-dicydopropyl-l,2-propadiene with iodobenzene in the presence of dimethyl maleate under palladium catalysis (Scheme 16.28) [33]. 

Application of the complexes 63 in the Mizoroki-Heck reaction did not reveal higher activity than the previously examined palladium(II) complexes. However, in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, a drastically increased activity was observed with complex 63. Catalysis starts without a measurable induction period at mild temperatures accompanied by an extraordinarily high turnover frequency (TOF) of 552 [mol product x mol Pd x h ] at the start of the reaction for the coupling of p-chlorotoluene and phenyl boronic acid [Eq. (48)]. ... 

The Mizoroki-Heck reaction in liquid imidazolium salts as the solvent is a special case of an in situ system Under the reaction conditions NHC complexes of palladium are formed as the active catalyst from the solvent and the ligand-free palladium precursor. In general, ionic liquids are novel reaction media for homogeneous catalysis. They allow easy separation of product and catalyst after the reaction. ... 

Another significant development in oxazoline chemistry is the application of oxazoline-containing ligands for asymmetric catalysis, such as palladium-catalyzed allylic substimtions, Heck reactions, hydrogenations, dialkylzinc additions to aldehydes, and Michael reactions. The discovery of diastereoselective metalation of chiral ferrocenyloxazolines has further expanded the availability of chiral ligands for metal-catalytic reactions. 

In none of the above cases has a reaction been performed whilst taking the EXAFS data. Hamill et al. [50] have investigated catalysis of the Heck reaction by palladium salts and complexes in room-temperature ionic liquids. On dissolution of palladium ethanoate in [BMIMj and N-butylpyridinium ([BP] ) hexafluorophos-phate and tetrafluoroborate ionic Hquids, and triethyl-hexyl ammonium bis(trifluo-romethanesulfonyl)imide, a gradual change from ethanoate coordination to the formation of palladium metal was observed in the Pd K-edge EXAFS, as shown in Figure 4.1-13. 

It is reported that the palladium-catalysed intramolecular aromatization of 1,1 -dichloro-9/T-fluoren-9-yIidene (15) may lead to the formation of fullerene fragments.89 The amiulation reaction, under palladium catalysis, between iodoanflines and ketones may yield indole derivatives.90 There have also been studies of the palladium-catalysed carbonylation of o-iodophenols with allenes which may lead to l-benzopyran-4-one derivatives,91 of the intramolecular coupling of phenols with aryl halides,92 and of the intramolecular Heck aiylation of cyclic enamides.93...

A new type of triaryl phosphine-functionalized imidazolium salt containing cations such as (6) has been prepared. Palladium complexes of (6) generated in situ have been used successfully in Heck-type reactions of aryl halides with acrylates and of 4-bromotoluene with styrene derivatives.34 The first Heck-type reaction of aryl halides with allenes has been reported. 1,3-Double arylations were observed with 3-substituted-l,2-allenyl sulfones, while 1-monoarylation was favoured with 3,3-disubstituted-l,2-allenyl sulfones.35 It has been shown that the a-arylation of methane-sulfonamides (7) may be achieved using palladium catalysis reaction proceeds through the sulfonamide enolates.36 It is also reported that palladium cross-coupling of alkynes with /V - (3 - i odophe n y I an i I i ncs) may lead to the formation of substituted carbazoles.37... 

Cleavage with an ensuing Heck reaction was developed by using the T1 triazene linker [51] (Scheme 6.1.20). On cleavage with trifluoroacetic acid a diazonium ion is first formed this can couple to an added alkene under the action of palladium catalysis. The coupling proceeds well with simple terminal alkenes, styrenes, and di- and even trisubstituted alkenes. The advantage of this process is clearly the possibility of using volatile alkenes (and alkynes) without contamination by any salt or other less volatile by-product, particularly with the use of palladium on charcoal as the catalyst.
