Suzuki biaryls synthesis

In a more recent study, Wang and coworkers have discussed microwave-assisted Suzuki couplings employing a reusable polymer-supported palladium complex [141]. The supported catalyst was prepared from commercial Merrifield polystyrene resin under ultrasound Bonification. In a typical procedure for biaryl synthesis, 1 mmol of the requisite aryl bromide together with 1.1 equivalents of the phenyl-boronic acid, 2.5 equivalents of potassium carbonate, and 10 mg of the polystyrene-...

As for the biaryl ether containing macrocycles, an array of bioactive macrocycles with an endo aryl-aryl bond exist in nature. A new palladium catalyzed reaction has been recently developed in which bis(pinacolato)diborane(4) mediated the process to reach such a structural motif. The reaction consists of a domino process involving a Miyaura s arylboronic ester synthesis and an intramolecular Suzuki-coupling. Synthesis of a bicyclic A-B-O-C ring system of RP-66453 273, a neurotensine receptor antagonist, with an endo aryl-aryl and an endo aryl-aryl ether bond was described (Scheme 53).141... 

In 1996, workers at GlaxoWellcome disclosed the solution-phase preparation of 2-aminothiazole combinatorial libraries [99], Utilizing 20 glass vials and a DPC liquid dispensing robot, they prepared a library of 2500 compounds by this procedure. Also in 1996, Argonaut reported the use of their computer-controlled fluid delivery system for biaryl synthesis via a Suzuki coupling reaction [61],... 

Suzuki and Stille couplings. For coupling of aryl chlorides with arylboronic acids the catalytic system contains (CyjPjjPdClj, CsF in NMP. co-Arylalkanoic acids are prepared by coupling of aryl halides with carboxylic esters bearing a 9-BBN substituent at the other terminus, and saponification. A biaryl synthesis from two different aryl halides is accomplished with in situ boronate formation which depends on the (dppfjPdClj catalyst. For access to aryl boronates either the coupling of aryl triflates with bis(pinacolato)diboron" or that of aryl iodides with pinacolborane may be employed.

Similarly, the scope of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid 6-methyl-pyridazine-3-yl ester as a coupling partner for biaryl synthesis via palladium catalyzed Suzuki and Stille coupling conditions has been reported (Equations 21 and 22) [25]. 

The Stille reaction has developed as a popular protocol for the formation of C-C bonds due to the air- and moisture-stability as well as functional group compatibility of organotin compounds. Together with the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling it is one of the most powerful methods for the synthesis of molecules containing unsymmetrical biaryl moieties. However, despite its efficiency, this versatile reaction has slowly been displaced by other procedures that avoid the use of highly toxic organostannanes. 

The Leznoff acetal linker 69 was used to anchor an aldehyde to the solid support and following a series of reactions, the aldehyde was released by acidic cleavage [78]. An application of this resin was demonstrated for a biaryl aldehyde library synthesis which incorporated a Suzuki-Miyaura reaction (Scheme 37) [79]. Cleavage was effected by a solution of 3 M HC1... 

Combs and coworkers have presented a study on the solid-phase synthesis of oxa-zolidinone antimicrobials by microwave-mediated Suzuki coupling [38], A valuable oxazolidinone scaffold was coupled to Bal resin (PS-PEG resin with a 4-formyl-3,5-dimethoxyphenoxy linker) to afford the corresponding resin-bound secondary amine (Scheme 7.18). After subsequent acylation, the resulting intermediate was transformed to the corresponding biaryl compound by microwave-assisted Suzuki coupling. Cleavage with trifluoroacetic acid/dichloromethane yielded the desired target structures. 

Several microwave-assisted protocols for soluble polymer-supported syntheses have been described. Among the first examples of so-called liquid-phase synthesis were aqueous Suzuki couplings. Schotten and coworkers presented the use of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-bound aryl halides and sulfonates in these palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings [70]. The authors demonstrated that no additional phase-transfer catalyst (PTC) is needed when the PEG-bound electrophiles are coupled with appropriate aryl boronic acids. The polymer-bound substrates were coupled with 1.2 equivalents of the boronic acids in water under short-term microwave irradiation in sealed vessels in a domestic microwave oven (Scheme 7.62). Work-up involved precipitation of the polymer-bound biaryl from a suitable organic solvent with diethyl ether. Water and insoluble impurities need to be removed prior to precipitation in order to achieve high recoveries of the products. 

The described fluorous-tag strategy has also been applied to the synthesis of biaryl-substituted hydantoins (Scheme 7.81) [94]. 4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde was converted into the corresponding perfluorinated species, which was then subjected to a reductive amination. The resulting amine was treated with an isocyanate to produce the fluorous-tagged urea, which spontaneously cyclized to form the corresponding hydantoin. Finally, the fluorous tag was detached by a Suzuki-type carbon-carbon bond formation to furnish the desired target structure in good yield. 

Qudguiner s group enlisted a combination of directed metalation and a Pd-catalyzed crosscoupling reaction for the construction of heteroaryl natural products [49]. One example was the total synthesis of bauerine B (64), a -carboline natural product [50], Or/fio-lithiation of 2,3-dichloro-A-pivaloylaminobenzene (61) was followed by reaction with trimethylborate to provide boronic acid 62 after hydrolysis. The Suzuki reaction between 62 and 3-fluoro-4-iodopyridine led to the desired biaryl product 63 contaminated with the primary amine (ca. 30%), both of which were utilized in the total synthesis of bauerine B (64). Another p-carboline natural product, the antibiotic eudistomin T (65), and a few other hydroxy p-carbolines have also been synthesized in the same fashion [3,51]. 

The Suzuki coupling of soluble polyethylene glycol (PEG)-bound bromothiophene 71 and p-formylphenylboronic acid provided biaryl 72 [56]. Due to the high solubilizing power of PEG, the reaction was conducted as a liquid-phase synthesis. Treatment of 72 with o-pyridinediaminc resulted in a two-step-one-pot heterocyclization through an imine intermediate. Nitrobenzene served as an oxidant in the ring closure step. Finally, transesterification with NaOMe in MeOH resulted in l//-imidazole[4,5-e]pyridine 73. 

Fuostifoline (47), a furo[3,2-a]carbazole, was isolated from Murraya euchrestifolia. Timdri s total synthesis of 47 commenced with alkylation of bromocresol 43 with bromoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal and P4Oio-promoted cyclization to furnish 5-bromo-7-methylbenzofuran (44) [47]. The Suzuki coupling of boronic acid 45, derived from 44, with o-bromonitrobenzene yielded biaryl 46. Nitrene generation, achieved via deoxygenation of nitro compound 46 using triethyl phosphite, was followed by cyclization to fuostifoline (47).
