The first reaction is a Sonogashira coupling between an aryl bromide and an alkyne. There is nc need to have anything but hydrogen on the alkyne for this reaction in contrast to the Stille reaction (RsSn) or Suzuki reaction (boronic acid). 

Vinylation can also be done by Pd-catalysed cross-coupling in which one component is used as a halide or triflate and the other as a stannane (Stille reaction) or boronic acid (Suzuki reaction). Entry 9, Table 11.3, is an example of the use of a vinylstannane with a haloindole. lndole-3-boronic acids, which can be prepared by mcrcuration/boration, undergo coupling with vinyl triflates (Entry 10). 

The Suzuki coupling of arylboronic acids and aryl halides has proven to be a useful method for preparing C-aryl indoles. The indole can be used either as the halide component or as the boronic acid. 6-Bromo and 7-bromoindolc were coupled with arylboronic acids using Pd(PPh3)4[5]. No protection of the indole NH was necessary. 4-Thallated indoles couple with aryl and vinyl boronic acides in the presence of Pd(OAc)j[6]. Stille coupling between an aryl stannane and a haloindole is another option (Entry 5, Table 14.3). 

The first total synthesis of 87 was published in 1990 (90TL1523). 5-Hydroxyindole (88) was mesylated and then reduced with sodium cyanoborohydride to give an indoline which was brominated to afford the bromoindoline 89 in good yield (Scheme 33). Cross-coupling with ortho-formyl boronic acid under Suzuki conditions, followed by air oxidation of the resulting cyclized product, followed by reduction of the lactam formed with excess Red-Al gave the target compound 87. 

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... 

The authors used a synthesis of 9,9-spirobitluorenes 32 which was developed by Clarksen and Gomberg [60] and which includes the addition of biphenyl-2-yl-magnesium iodide to fluorenone and subsequent cyclization with protic acids. To obtain 2,2,, 7,7 -arylated 9,9-spirobifluorenes 33, 9,9-spirobifluorene (32) was tetrabrominated [58] to yield 34 followed by a Suzuki-type aryl-aryl cross-coupling with various oligoaryl and oligoheteroaryl boronic acids to obtain the 2,2, 7,7 -tetraarylated derivatives 33. 

At about die same time, die application of the Suzuki coupling, the crosscoupling of boronic acids widi aryl-alkenyl halides in die presence of a base and a catalytic amount of palladium catalyst (Scheme 9.12),16 for step-growth polymerization also appeared. Schliiter et al. reported die synthesis of soluble poly(para-phenylene)s by using the Suzuki coupling condition in 1989 (Scheme 9.13).17 Because aryl-alkenyl boronic acids are readily available and moisture stable, the Suzuki coupling became one of die most commonly used mediods for die synthesis of a variety of polymers.18... 

The transition metal catalyzed cross coupling of an organohalide with a boronic acid derivative, the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, has become one of the most popular ways of preparing biaryls.3 The reaction is very robust and can easily be scaled to provide multigrams of material.4... 

ArSnRs, and with arylmercury compounds. Aryl triflates react with arylbo-ronic acids ArB(OH)2, or with organoboranes, in the presence of a palladium catalyst, to give the arene in what is called Suzuki couplingCyclopropyl groups can be attached to aromatic rings by this reaction. Even hindered boronic acids give good yields of the coupled product.

A drawback of the Heck-type reaction is that it is not strictly regioselective [119]. Depending on the substituents >1% of 1,1-diarylation is observed. Soluble 2,5-dialkoxy-PPVs 63 or 2-phenyl-PPV PPPV 93, without 1,1-diarylated moieties, were synthesized by Heitz et al. in a Suzuki-type cross coupling of substituted 1,4-phenylenediboronic acids and fran5-l,2-dibromoethylene, catalyzed by Pd(0) compounds [120]. However, about 3% of biaryl defect structures are observed in the coupling products (M up to 12,000), resulting from homocoupling of boronic acid functions.

Nickel can also be used in place of Pd in Suzuki-type couplings of boronic acids. The main advantage of nickel in this application is that it reacts more readily with aryl chlorides275 and methanesulfonates276 than do the Pd systems. These reactants may be more economical than iodides or triflates in large-scale syntheses. 

The medicinal chemists subsequently discovered an improved route to racemic acid 9 that started with 2-bromo-2-cyclopente-l-one 11 (Scheme 7.2) [5]. Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of 11 with 4-fluorophenyl boronic acid 12 provided 13 in 67% yield. Conjugate addition of cyanide furnished ketone 14 in 71% yield. Reduction of 14 with NaB H4 gave a 2.8 1 mixture of desired 15 and undesired 16 which were separated by silica gel chromatography. The observed diastereoselec-tivity with the cyano group was similar to ester 6. Hydrolysis of 15 with 5 M NaOH in MeOH gave racemic acid 9 in 91% yield, which was resolved as outlined in Scheme 7.1.
