Suzuki reaction palladium chemistry

Palladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond forming reactions like the Suzuki reac-tion as well as the Heck reaction and the Stille reaction, have in recent years gained increased importance in synthetic organic chemistry. In case of the Suzuki reaction, an organoboron compound—usually a boronic acid—is reacted with an aryl (or alkenyl, or alkynyl) halide in the presence of a palladium catalyst. 

In conclusion, the already rich chemistry of pyrroles is greatly expanded by the palladium reactions presented in this chapter. The abundance of both 2- and 3-pyrrolyl halides and triflates has led to many examples of high-yielding Negishi, Suzuki, Stille, Sonogashira, and Heck reactions. Noteworthy are the excellent approaches to alkynyl pyrroles and porphyrins using Sonogashira, Stille, and Suzuki reactions. 

The formation of NHC complexes is clearly going to be important to the palladium chemistry seen in ionic liquids. The formation of such complexes has been seen to be advantageous (as in the Suzuki reaction) or disadvantageous (as in the telomerization of butadiene with methanol), depending on the particular system being investigated. What is yet to be seen is if the ionic liquid can be manipulated to generate NHC s with particular useful properties. 

Palladium chemistry has featured large in the manipulation of diazines for example, for pyridazines Suzuki, Stille, and Sonogashira reactions have been well explored <2006COR377, 2006SL3185>. 

Ellman utilized the Suzuki coupling twice between a support-bound vinyl bromide and an alkyl 9-BBN derivative in a solid-phase synthesis of E- and F-series prostaglandins. The Suzuki reaction was performed in situ, with the hydroboration of a terminal olefin being followed by the palladium-mediated step. This sequence is attractive in library synthesis because of the wide range of suitable commercially available alkenes. The inspiration behind this chemistry was the solution-phase work of Johnson and Braun, where the couplings of 35 with 2-iodo-4-(silyloxy)cyclopent-2-enone 36 went well at room temperature with PdCljCdppO-AsPhj as catalyst (Scheme 41). The modular chemistry demonstrated in this paper was clearly amenable to adaptation to a solid-phase strategy. 

During the last 30 years, numerous books, monographs, and reviews have been published on organo-palladium chemistry and palladium-catalyzed reactions such as the Heck, Suzuki, Stille, and Sonogashira reactions [1-52], These represent well-established methods for carbon—carbon bond formation in organic synthesis. 

Another topic often encountered in the literature on microwave-promoted reactions is the lower consumption of energy associated with the use of MW technology in small-scale chemistry. For the palladium-catalyzed Suzuki reaction there have been attempts to investigate this matter in more detail. Clark et al. have performed a comparative study of the energy efficiency of the different reaction techniques. The Suzuki reaction was analyzed and under the reaction conditions used the MW-assisted reaction was 85 times more energy-efficient than the corresponding oil-bath-heated reaction. As there are a multitude of reaction conditions for the Suzuki coupling, this value should be seen as an example, rather than a definite value [20]. 

Transition-metal catalysts play an ever-increasing and important role in modem chemistry [3]. Numerous transition-metal-catalyzed coupling reactions have been developed and applied in the total synthesis of natural products, such as the Suzuki reaction, the Negishi reaction, the Heck reaction, and many others [4]. Interestingly, the power of transition-metal catalysts is even more visible in the area of domino reactions, where terms such as palladium walking show the value of transition metals in bond formations. 

As a final comment, although restricted in its essence to palladium chemistry - but which is nonetheless at the heart of modern cross-coupling arylation reactions - we quote from Astruc [12i], in conclusion, the field of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions for their work in which Heck, Negishi, and Suzuki were awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in chemistry is extremely rich and productive and will continue to grow with major synthetic applications and green implications in the future. ...
