Suzuki performing

The Suzuki reaction has been successfully used to introduce new C - C bonds into 2-pyridones [75,83,84]. The use of microwave irradiation in transition-metal-catalyzed transformations is reported to decrease reaction times [52]. Still, there is, to our knowledge, only one example where a microwave-assisted Suzuki reaction has been performed on a quinolin-2(lH)-one or any other 2-pyridone containing heterocycle. Glasnov et al. described a Suzuki reaction of 4-chloro-quinolin-2(lff)-one with phenylboronic acid in presence of a palladium-catalyst under microwave irradiation (Scheme 13) [53]. After screening different conditions to improve the conversion and isolated yield of the desired aryl substituted quinolin-2( lff)-one 47, they found that a combination of palladium acetate and triphenylphosphine as catalyst (0.5 mol %), a 3 1 mixture of 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) and water as solvent, triethyl-amine as base, and irradiation for 30 min at 150 °C gave the best result. Crucial for the reaction was the temperature and the amount of water in the... 

The first example of microwave-promoted solid-phase methodology in heterocyclic chemistry was the arylation of thiophene and indole via Suzuki couplings on TentaGel S RAM resin, as demonstrated by Hallberg and coworkers in 1996, before temperature- and pressure-controlled microwave instruments were even available [189]. Three years later Schotten and coworkers presented analogous but aqueous Suzuki couplings of 5-bromo-thiophene anchored to PEG soluble support via a carboxylic function at its C-2 position [116]. Unfortunately, this work was performed in a do-... 

The first microwave-assisted Suzuki reactions involving heteroaromatic skeletons were reported in 1996 [35]. Hallberg et al. Hnked the substrates 4-iodo and 4-bromobenzoic acid to a TentaGel-Rink resin (Scheme 16). Suzuki reactions on these soUd-phase-Unked substrates were easily performed in less than 4 min using a constant microwave irradiation power (45 W) (no temperature control Standard acidic cleavage with TEA yielded the corresponding biaryls with an excellent yield. 

Inhibitors for proteases plasmepsin I and II of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, with a good plasmepsin/human protease cathepsin D selectivity, have been identified via library construction involving rapid microwave-accelerated Suzuki reactions [57]. The phenyl ring of the biphenyl unit in the lead compound M-((lS)-l- [((lS,2S)-3- [(lS)-2-amino-l-(4-phenyl-benzyl)-2-oxoethyl]amino -2-hydroxy-l-phenoxypropyl)amino]carbonyl -2-methylpropyl)pyridine-2-carboxamide has been altered by performing Suzuki reactions on N-((lS)-l- [((lS,2S)-3- [(lS)-2-amino-l-(4-bromobenzyl)-2-oxoethyl]amino -2-hydroxy-l-phenoxypropyl)amino]carbonyl -2-methyl-propyl)pyridine-2-carboxamide (Scheme 37). In particular, a 2-benzofuryl moiety proved to be interesting since a Ki value of 13 nM for plasmepsin I and...

C) [9, 10]. It is said to be the first example of a heated organic reaction performed in a glass chip reactor imder electroosmohc flow (EOF) control [10] (for EOF see [14]). The performance of this reactor for room-temperatare reactions such as the Wittig reaction and Suzuki coupling was demonstrated before. 

Cazin and co-workers recently reported on the use of the well-defined dimer complexes [Pd( a-C1)(C1)(NHC)]2 that are commercially available, and perform exceedingly well in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction involving aryl chlorides [108]. The Cazin group has also recently disclosed well-defined mixed NHC/phosphite palladium systems of the type [PdCl2(NHC) P(OR)3j], enabling the Suzuki-Miyaura of aryl chlorides at 0.1 mol% Pd loading [109].

A potentially interesting development is the microwave-assisted transition-metal-free Sonogashira-type coupling reaction (Eq. 4.10). The reactions were performed in water without the use of copper(I) or a transition metal-phosphine complex. A variety of different aryl and hetero-aryl halides were reactive in water.25a The amount of palladium or copper present in the reaction system was determined to be less than 1 ppm by AAS-MS technique. However, in view of the recent reassessment of a similarly claimed transition-metal-free Suzuki-type coupling reaction, the possibility of a sub-ppm level of palladium contaminants found in commercially available sodium carbonate needs to be ruled out by a more sensitive analytical method.25 ... 

The biaiyl phenol (X) was the penultimate intermediate in the synthesis of this final drag substance. Thus after the Suzuki coupling reaction is performed to give the phenol, the levels of Pd have to be lowered to < 10 ppm. In the pharma industry this can be a significant problem. Additionally there is always batch to batch variability observed when catalysts like Pd2(dba)3 have been used in Suzuki couphng reactions. 

Using a conventional dorm-room quality microwave oven, we have successfully performed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions catalyzed by Pd/C. Shorter reaction times are obtained (13 min of irradiation) using microwave irradiation compared to conventional methods of heating (> 1 h). Yields with relatively non-volatile aryl bromides range from 65 to 83%. Lower yields (15 - 27%) are obtained with relatively volatile aryl bromides substrates which may be evaporating during the course of the reaction. Ease of reaction set-up, rate enhancement from the microwave irradiation and facile work-up provided by the use of Pd/C makes this a very efficient procedure to mn. 

In this study we show that the Pd/C catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction can be performed in a microwave oven. Overall the microwave synthesis is faster than comparable thermal methods and the combination of the ease of use of the microwave oven and the facile work-up with Pd/C makes this a very efficient method for performing coupling reactions.

A similarly high performance has been reported for oxime-derived (125) and benzylsulfide-derived (126) palladacycles.438 These precatalysts are effective in the cross-coupling of arylboronic acids,438,439 organotin compounds,440 and terminal acetylenes441 with aryl iodides and bromides, and of activated aryl chlorides. SC-palladacycles can effect the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction even at room temperature. 

The same Suzuki couplings could also be performed under microwave-heated open-vessel reflux conditions (110 °C, 10 min) on a ten-fold larger scale, giving nearly identical yields to the closed-vessel runs [33, 35], Importantly, nearly the same yields were obtained when the Suzuki reactions were carried out in a pre-heated oil bath (150 °C) instead of using microwave heating, clearly indicating the absence of any specific or non-thermal microwave effects [34],... 

An even simpler protocol for performing nucleophilic substitutions (aminations) and Suzuki reactions in one pot was reported by the Organ group for the generation of a 42-member library of styrene-based nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) antagonists (Scheme 6.21) [49]. After considerable experimentation, the authors found that simultaneous nucleophilic displacement and Suzuki coupling could be carried out very effectively by charging the microwave process vessel with the palladium catalyst (0.5 mol% palladium-on-charcoal), the boronic acid [R1B(OH)2], the...
