There are a number of procedures for coupling of terminal alkynes with halides and sulfonates, a reaction that is known as the Sonogashira reaction.161 A combination of Pd(PPh3)4 and Cu(I) effects coupling of terminal alkynes with vinyl or aryl halides.162 The reaction can be carried out directly with the alkyne, using amines for deprotonation. The alkyne is presumably converted to the copper acetylide, and the halide reacts with Pd(0) by oxidative addition. Transfer of the acetylide group to Pd results in reductive elimination and formation of the observed product. 

From the recent advances the heteroatom-carbon bond formation should be mentioned. As for the other reactions in Chapter 13 the amount of literature produced in less than a decade is overwhelming. Widespread attention has been paid to the formation of carbon-to-nitrogen bonds, carbon-to-oxygen bonds, and carbon-to-sulfur bonds [29], The thermodynamic driving force is smaller in this instance, but excellent conversions have been achieved. Classically, the introduction of amines in aromatics involves nitration, reduction, and alkylation. Nitration can be dangerous and is not environmentally friendly. Phenols are produced via sulfonation and reaction of the sulfonates with alkali hydroxide, or via oxidation of cumene, with acetone as the byproduct. 

In addition to oxidation and reduction reactions, naphthalene readily undergoes substitution reactions such as nitration, halogenation, sulfonation, and acylation to produce a variety of other substances, which are used in the manufacture of dyes, insecticides, organic solvents, and synthetic resins. The principal use of naphthalene is for the production of phthalic anhydride, CgbLO,. 

The oxidation of pesticide compounds usually generates products with aqueous mobilities that are either similar to or greater than that of the parent compound. The oxidation of aldicarb, for example, produces aldicarb sulfoxide and aldicarb sulfone, both of which have lower A/qc values than aldicarb (Moye and Miles, 1988). Similarly, because most phototransformations involve either the hydrolysis or oxidation of the parent compound, they yield products that are generally more polar (Mill and Mabey, 1985), and thus more water soluble than the parent compound. Reduction reactions, by contrast, may result in products that are less water soluble than their parent compound. Examples include the reduction of aldicarb sulfoxide to aldicarb (Miles and Delfino, 1985 Lightfoot et al, 1987) and the reduction of phorate sulfoxide to phorate (Coats, 1991). The reactivity of transformation products may be either higher or lower than that of their parent compounds. However, those in the former category (i.e., reactive intermediates) are, of course, much less likely to be detected in the hydrologic system than more stable products. 

Alkyl phenyl sulfones (piCj,27) are nearly as acidic as esters hence they are readily deprotonated by n-BuLi, LDA in THF, or EtMgBr in THF to give a-metalated sulfones. Their reaction with aldehydes gives a mixture of diastereomeric P-phenylsul-fone alkoxide adducts. Reductive elimination of the benzenesulfinate moiety from the adduct to produce the alkene is usually slow. To minimize side reactions, the hydroxyl group is first converted to an acetate, benzoate, mesylate, or /7-toluenesul-fonate and then treated with an excess of sodium amalgam [Na(Hg), prepared by adding small pieces of sodium to mercury] in methanol to furnish the trans-dlk n P... 

MW protocols for oxidation-reduction reactions using immobilized reagents on solid supports have been extensively explored. The oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides and sulfones was also developed under MW irradiation with good... 

Oxidation-reduction reactions that take place on nitrogen or sulfur show similar structural changes. The number of N—H or S—H bonds increases in reduction reactions, and the number of N—O or S—O bonds increases in oxidation reactions. In the following reactions, nitrobenzene and the disulfide are being reduced (Sections 16.2 and 23.7), and the thiol is being oxidized to a sulfonic acid ...
