Suzuki coupling, palladium catalysis

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 Suzuki-Miyaura synthesis is one of the most commonly used methods for the formation of carbon-to-carbon bonds [7]. As a palladium catalyst typically tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) has been used, giving yields of44—78%. Recently, Suzuki coupling between aryl halides and phenylboronic acid with efficient catalysis by palladacycles was reported to give yields of 83%. 

Under all the conditions studied, addition of bare Si02-SH to Heck or Suzuki coupling reactions using a variety of bases, aryl halides and solvents resulted in complete cessation of the catalytic activity (35). These results suggest that catalysis with this precatalyst is also associated with labile palladium species that... 

Stewart and Whiting have reported a useful application of sequential Heck and Suzuki coupling reactions of a vinylborane pinacol ester with palladium catalysis to generate a tetraene (equation 147)260. 

The triflate 125 is formed from the hydroxy precursor (Equation 131) and undergoes a variety of nucleophilic substitution processes <2006TL4437>, including Suzuki and Stille couplings (Equations 132 and 133, respectively). Amination of 125 with aliphatic amines occurs under thermal conditions, using either conventional or microwave heating (Equation 134), but the reactions of 125 with less reactive amines require palladium catalysis (Equation 135). 

Ellman used silyl chemistry for the direct linkage of aromatics onto the solid support by converting an aryl bromide to aryl lithium and reacting this with a silyl resin.90 It is the production of the silyl resin that is of interest in the context of this review, since an in situ Suzuki coupling was used to link the allyl silane to bromomethyl polystyrene resin (Scheme 40). 9-BBN is used to carry out the regioselective hydroboration, and this is linked to the resin with palladium catalysis in the usual way. After brief exposure of this... 

The coupling of terminal alkynes with aryl or vinyl halides under palladium catalysis is known as the Sonogashira reaction. This catalytic process requires the use of a palladium(0) complex, is performed in the presence of base, and generally uses copper iodide as a co-catalyst. One partner, the aryl or vinyl halide, is the same as in the Stille and Suzuki couplings but the other has hydrogen instead of tin or boron as the metal to be exchanged for palladium.
