Scheme 30. Catalytic cycle for the Stille reaction direct coupling.

AT-acetyltryptamines could be obtained via microwave-assisted transition-metal-catalyzed reactions on resin bound 3-[2-(acetylamino)ethyl]-2-iodo-lH-indole-5-carboxamide. While acceptable reaction conditions for the application of microwave irradiation have been identified for Stille heteroaryla-tion reactions, the related Suzuki protocol on the same substrate gave poor results, since at a constant power of 60 W, no full conversion (50-60%) of resin-bound 3-[2-(acetylamino)ethyl]-2-iodo-lH-indole-5-carboxamide could be obtained even when two consecutive cross-coupling reaction cycles (involving complete removal of reagents and by-products by washing off the resin) were used (Scheme 36). Also under conventional heating at 110 °C, and otherwise identical conditions, the Suzuki reactions proved to be difficult since two cross-coupling reaction cycles of 24 h had to be used to achieve full conversion. 

Such biosyntheses were models for the Merrifield-synthesis [8] (Fig. 3), which culminated in the development of fully automated peptide synthesizers [9]. In a repeated reaction cycle a N-terminal protected amino acid, which is attached with its C-terminal end to an insoluble solid support, is deprotected, activated and lengthened by a second protected amino acid unit. The deprotect -ing and coupling steps can be repeated until the entire peptide is assembled. 

A tandem palladium-catalysed ort/io-alkylation/intramolecular Heck reaction coupling sequence was used effectively to access in fair yields the tetrahydro 1-benzoxepines 67 from the iodoaryl precursor 66 and the appropriate alkyl bromide. The norbornene plays a relay role in the proposed reaction cycle <06JOC4937>... 

More recently, a series of sol-gel hydrophobized nanostructured silica matrices doped with the organocatalyst TEMPO (SiliaCat TEMPO) entered the market as suitable oxidation catalysts for the rapid and selective production of carbonyls and carboxylic acids. In the former case, SiliaCat TEMPO selectively mediates the oxidation of delicate primary and secondary alcohol substrates into valued carbonyl derivatives (Scheme 5.2), retaining its potent activity throughout several reaction cycles (Table 5.2).33 Using this catalyst, for example, enables the synthesis of extremely valuable a-hydroxy acids with relevant selectivity enhancement by coupling of SiliaCat TEMPO with rapid Ru04-mediated olefin dihydroxylation (Scheme 5.3).34... 

These reactions are coupled to one another by the cofactors A and B, which are cycled continuously between them. In addition, the two consumable... 

The rhodium catalyst was recycled batch-wise four times. It was found that a short induction period occurred during the first reaction cycle. The following cycles showed a constant rate and no loss of activity was detected. A ligand-to-rhodium ratio of 5 1 led to a constant yield of 95% per cycle after 1 h. Within the four cycles a total turnover number of 1000 with a maximum turnover frequency of 234 h was achieved. The leaching of rhodium and phosphorus into the aqueous layer was determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Rhodium leaching amounted to 14.2 ppm in the first run, then dropped to 3.6 ppm (second run) and reached values of 0.95 and 0.63 ppm in the third and fourth runs, respectively. 

In both schemes, the specificities of the pump for catalysis change in the two enzyme states. Jencks points out that coupling is determined (a) by the chemical specificity achieved in catalyzing phosphoryl transfer to and from the enzyme (wherein E-Ca2 reversibly binds ATP, and E reacts reversibly with orthophosphate), and (b) by the vectorial specificity for ion binding and dissociation (wherein E reversibly binds/dissociates cytoplasmic calcium ion, and E—P reversibly binds/dissociates luminal calcium). There must be a single conformation change during the reaction cycle between Ei and E2 in the free enzyme and from Ei P-Ca2 to E2-P-Ca2 after enzyme phosphorylation. 

A similar reaction was reported by Kabalka et al. where ligandless and solvent-free Suzuki couplings were performed with potassium fluoride on alumina. This reaction is very interesting as the catalyst used was palladium powder, the least expensive form of palladium available32. The authors demonstrated the simplicity of the procedure by efficient isolation of the biaryl products via a simple filtration. This could be done as the palladium catalyst remains adsorbed on the alumina surface. A small amount of water in the matrix was beneficial for the outcome of the reactions. Recycling of the catalyst was possible by adding fresh potassium fluoride to the palladium/alumina surface and the catalytic system remained effective at least through six reaction cycles (Scheme 2.6). 

The palladium(II)-mediated oxidative coupling of olefins with oxygen-nucleophiles (ROH water, alcohols, carboxylic acids) is a stoichiometric reaction with respect to Pd(II), resulting in an oxygenated product and Pd(0). To convert Pd(0) back to Pd(II) and start a new reaction cycle, a reoxidation reaction (which can itself be stoichiometric or catalytic) using a terminal oxidant is required. In this way, the overall process becomes catalytic with respect to the expensive Pd salt. 

FIGURE 2.1 The combinatorial tree. Each square in the figure represents a reaction vessel, and their black, gray and white colors symbolize the monomers that are coupled in the vessels. The numbers on the left side indicate the number of the reaction step and the order of branches. The numbers on the right side show three things number of reaction vessels used in the reaction step, the number of executed reaction cycles and the number of products.
