Palladium mediated

In the synthesis of Win 57,273 the attachment of the group, a 2,6-dimethylpytidinyl group, involves formation of a carbon-carbon bond rather than a carbon-nitrogen bond. The method for the attachment of this group is a palladium mediated coupling reaction (77,78) of 4-tributylstarmyl-2,6-dimethylpyridine [122033-61 -8] with a 7-halo quinolone (26). 

The palladium-promoted conversion of 1,3-dienes to pyrroles proceeds via 4-acetoxy-2-alkenylpalladium complexes (Scheme 50g) (81CC59), and a similar pathway may be involved in the palladium mediated reaction of but-2-ene-l,4-diol with primary amines to give A-substituted pyrroles (74CC931). 

In summary, palladium-mediated reactions, especially cross-coupling reactions have found many applications in quinoline synthesis. It is noteworthy that due to the a and S activation for the C(2) and C(4) positions, even 2-chloro- and 4-chloro-quinolines are viable substrates for palladium-catalyzed reactions under standard conditions. With the advent of the palladium chemistry and more commercially available organometallic substrates, more palladium-mediated quinoline syntheses are to be added to the repertoire of quinoline chemistry. 

Palladium-mediated catalysis has only been exploited relatively recently in the synthesis of substituted PPV derivatives. The use of aryl dibromides as monomers is particularly useful as it allows the synthesis of PPVs substituted with alkyl rather than alkoxy sidechains. The Suzuki [53, 54], Heck [55], and Stille [56] reactions have been used in the synthesis of new PPV derivatives, but attaining high molecular weight PPV derivatives by these methodologies has proved problematic. A phenyl-subslilutcd PPV material PPPV 31 was synthesized by a Suzuki coupling (Scheme 1-10) of dibromoethene and fo/.v-boronic acid 30. Its absorption (2ni ix=385 nm) and emission (2max=475 nm) maxima were strongly... 

A distinguishing feature of the Nicolaou synthesis of rapamycin is the use of a palladium-mediated tandem inter-/intramolecular Stille coupling to construct rapamycin s 31-membered macrolide ring and conjugated triene moiety. This maneuver was unprecedented in the macrolide field,9 and it can be applied to a fully deprotected seco substrate (vide infra). 

The intramolecular Heck reaction presented in Scheme 8 is also interesting and worthy of comment. Rawal s potentially general strategy for the stereocontrolled synthesis of the Strychnos alkaloids is predicated on the palladium-mediated intramolecular Heck reaction. In a concise synthesis of ( )-dehydrotubifoline [( )-40],22 Rawal et al. accomplished the conversion of compound 36 to the natural product under the conditions of Jeffery.23 In this ring-forming reaction, the a-alkenylpalladium(n) complex formed in the initial oxidative addition step engages the proximate cyclohexene double bond in a Heck cyclization, affording enamine 39 after syn /2-hydride elimination. The latter substance is a participant in a tautomeric equilibrium with imine ( )-40, which happens to be shifted substantially in favor of ( )-40. 

Although the conversion of 63—>67 adequately expresses the utility of palladium-catalyzed cycloisomerizations for the construction of complex polycycles, the single-step, palladium-mediated conversion of compound 68 to the novel polyspirocycle 6930,31 (Scheme 15) can perhaps be regarded as the paragon of this chemistry. In this striking transformation, chemo- and regioselective...

The late Professor J. K. Stille pioneered the development of a very effective and versatile palladium-mediated C-C bond forming method - the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of organic electrophiles with organostannanes.48 This process continues to enjoy much success in organic synthesis because it proceeds in high yields under mild reaction conditions and because it tolerates a... 

Stille cross coupling reactions usually proceed under mild neutral conditions. 2-Substituted thiazoUnes can be obtained by the cross coupling reaction of 2-bromothiazolines with various tributylstannyl compounds. Previous attempts at a palladium mediated coupling of 2-trimethylstannylthiazoUne led to only decomposition of the substrate <96TL4857>.

In our second approach, we considered reversal of these functional group transformations, wherein reduction of the nitro group followed by palladium-mediated intramolecular amidation would provide the desired tricylcic lactam (Scheme 6.6). One concern with this approach, however, was to identify reaction conditions that would selectively reduce the nitro functionality and not lead to... 

In summary, we have described a novel and efficient synthesis of thienobenzazepine derivatives in which the key transformation includes a telescoped process involving a selective intro reduction followed by palladium-mediated intramolecular amidation. The process developed is quite amenable for preparative scale (multi-gram) and presents significant advantage to those reported previously with respect to overall yield (e.g., 50% vs. 17% overall yield), total number of synthetic transformations (4 vs. 9), and reagents and/or conditions that are suitable for large-scale synthesis. 

Unfortunately, it quickly became apparent that a shortfall in this proposal was an inability to prepare the desired vinyl halide 25 in a straightforward and selective manner [19]. In contrast, we reasoned that the selective formation of an enol sulfonate, such as the enol triflate 26a, could be controlled by judicious tuning of enolization conditions starting from the corresponding ketone, and that such an enol sulfonate would possibly be a substrate for a palladium-mediated coupling (Scheme 9.17). In this way a common intermediate from the previously defined synthesis, that is, the racemic ketone rac-13 or its cyano equivalent rac-5 could be used to generate the required enamide. 

At the time of this work the palladium-mediated amidation of enol triflates had not been described, and, hence, the scope of the reaction was evaluated with a range of other enol triflates and amides (Scheme 9.20) [22, 23], A number of key observations were made, some of which were to prove important during further development. 

Scheme 3) [30]. The pY + 3 diversity alcohols (Ri)-OI I (Fig. 15) were attached to the template through a Mitsunobu coupling to provide ether derivatives of 16. Palladium-mediated Alloc deprotection followed by amide formation using the phosphate-ester-containing diversity acids (R2)-C02H provided the fully coupled resin-bound products of 17. Cleavage from the resin with 95% TFA/H20, which also afforded benzyl phosphate deprotection, followed by reversed-phase (RP) semipreparative...

Another compound 9 with three heterocyclic rings linearly fused (5 5 5) with two heteroatoms has been prepared from 1,1 -carbonyl diindole 297 <2001T5199>. Palladium-mediated coupling of the 2- and 2 -positions of 297 afforded the 1,1 -carbonyl-2,2 -biindolyl 9. 1,1 -Carbonyl diindole 297 was in turn obtained in 41% yield from 1,1 -carbonyldiimidazole 296 by reaction with indole in DMSO at 125 °C. The palladium-catalyzed coupling step afforded the desired product 9 in low yield and required a stoichiometric amount of palladium acetate. Therefore, it was felt prohibitively expensive. Addition of various co-oxidants (Ac20, Mn02, and Cu(OAc)2, etc) to make the reaction catalytic in palladium did not result in any improvement of the yield of 18 (Scheme 53).
