Sonogashira coupling copper

We synthesized uniform CU2O coated Cu nanoparticles from the thermal decomposition of copper acetylacetonate, followed by air oxidation. We successfully used these nanoparticles for the catalysts for Ullmann type amination coupling reactions of aryl chlorides. We synthesized core/shell-like Ni/Pd bimetallic nanoparticles from the consecutive thermal decomposition of metal-surfactant complexes. The nanoparticle catalyst was atom-economically applied for various Sonogashira coupling reactions.

More recently, a study with di- and mono-carbene Pd(II) complexes has demonstrated that the Sonogashira coupling of activated and non-activated aryl iodides can be carried out in an aqueous, aerobic medium and in the absence of amines. These results suggest that the moisture-sensitive copper-acetylide may not be present in this particular transformation, and that a Pd-acetyhde could be formed by deprotonation of the coordinated alkyne instead of transmetallation [130]. 

The coupling of terminal alkynes with organic halides, known as the Castro-Stephens-Sonogashira reaction, has wide applications in synthesis. The most widely used method is the Sonogashira coupling, using a combination of palladium and copper as the catalyst.13 Recently,... 

There are many other transition-metal catalyzed coupling reactions that are based on organic halides in aqueous media. One example is the coupling of terminal alkyne with aryl halides, the Sonogashira coupling, which has been discussed in detail in the chapter on alkynes (Chapter 4). An example is the condensation of 2-propynyl or allyl halides with simple acetylenes in the presence of copper salts. 

Scheme 14 illustrates Linstrumelle s synthesis of (9Z,11 )-9,11,13-tetradeca-trienyl acetate (8), the pheromone of the pyralid moth, Stenoma cecropia [25]. The key steps were palladium and copper-catalyzed Sonogashira couplings (A+B and C+D). Another noteworthy feature in this synthesis was the use of activated zinc dust in aqueous methanol for the reduction of the triple bonds of E to give two double bonds of 8. 

McLaughlin and co-workers have described a one-pot copper-free Sonogashira alkynylation and base-mediated indolization reaction to access 1,2-disubstituted indoles 125 and azaindoles from o-chloroanilines 123 <060L3307>. A ligand-, copper, and amine-free variant of the Sonogashira coupling was used by Srinivasan and co-workers to access 2-substituded indoles <06T5109>. 

Aryl-acetylene synthesis, Cf. Cadiot-Chodkiewicz coupling and Sonogashira coupling. The Castro-Stephens coupling uses stoichiometric copper, whereas the Sonogashira variant uses catalytic palladium and copper. 

Heuze et al. (34) synthesized three generations of bis(tert-butylphosphine)- and bis(cyclohexylphosphine)-functionalized Pd(II) DAB dendritic complexes that serve as copper-free recoverable catalysts for the Sonogashira coupling between aryl halides and alkynes (Scheme 9). 

Scope of this synthetic strategy is not limited to benzofiirans. The reaction of 2-iodo-3-hydroxypyridine and 1,1 -diethoxy-2-propync under Sonogashira coupling conditions (palladium-copper catalyst system) leads to the formation of the substituted furo[3,2-6]pyridine shown in 3.56.72... 

The Sonogashira coupling of haloazoles and terminal acetylenes in the presence of a palladium(0)-copper(l) catalyst system usually proceeds readily. Its application has, in the beginning, been limited to iodoazoles, while recent examples frequently utilise bromo-heterocycles too. 

Sonogashira coupling [18] (copper (I) acetylenes with iodoalkenes)... were described. 

Few methods have been devised as alternatives to the palladium-catalysed Sonogashira couplings. In response to this, Wang and co-workers have developed a microwave heated and purely copper-catalysed version of this reaction using 10% Cul58. As shown in Scheme 2.21, high yields were achieved after just 10 min of heating in a commercial multi-mode microwave oven. 

Scheme 2.21 Copper-catalysed Sonogashira coupling reactions.

Generally, the Sonogashira coupling reaction is achieved by a palladium-copper catalyzed reaction of aryl or vinyl halide and terminal alkyne [70-72], The presence of the copper co-catalyst is an obstacle, however, towards the metallodendritic approach of the system. In this context, only a few examples of copper-free procedures have been reported [73-77], involving for instance, in situ Pd(0) complex formation with bulky phosphines [78].
