Vinylation palladium-catalyzed

In related work, 3-chloromethylcephems were coupled with tributyl(tnfluoro-vinyl)stannane catalyzed by tri(2-furyl)phosphine palladium(O) [7S, 19] (equation 13). 

The above procedure was used for the preparation of all compounds except 104p, which was obtained from 104r by palladium-catalyzed coupling with tributylvinyl-stannane followed by palladium-catalyzed cyclopropanation of the resulting vinyl intermediate with diazomethane (Scheme 32) (99BMC3187). 

Closely related to the Heck reaction is the Sonogashira reaction i.e. the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of a vinyl or aryl halide 20 and a terminal alkyne 21 ... 

The key step in a short and efficient synthesis of pleraplysillin-1 (127) is the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of vinylstannane 125 with vinyl triflate 126 (see Scheme 33). This synthesis is noteworthy in two respects. First, vinyl triflate 126 is generated regio-specifically from the kinetic enolate arising from a conjugate reduction of enone 124 the conjugate reduction of an enone is, in fact, a... 

In another reductive coupling, substituted alkenes (CH2=CH Y Y = R, COOMe, OAc, CN, etc.) can be dimerized to substituted alkanes (CH3CHYCHYCH3) by photolysis in an H2 atmosphere, using Hg as a photosensitizer. Still another procedure involves palladium-catalyzed addition of vinylic halides to triple bonds to give 1,3-dienes. ... 

Palladium-catalyzed reaction of alkyne 47 with a variety of aryl and vinyl halides afforded alkenes 48 in good yield. Cyclization to quinolines 49 was performed by treating 4 8 with TsOH in EtOH <96T(52)10225>. 

Alkyl substituents on boron in 9-BBN derivatives can be coupled with either vinyl or aryl halides through Pd catalysts.22413 This is an especially interesting reaction because of its ability to effect coupling of saturated alkyl groups. Palladium-catalyzed couplings of alkyl groups by most other methods often fail because of the tendency for (3-elimination... 

On the other hand, Li et al. reported the first palladium-catalyzed 1,4-addition of terminal alkynes to vinyl ketones in water with high yields (Eq. 4.36).60 At nearly the same time, Chisholm et al. reported such a reaction catalyzed by Rh(acac)(CO)2 (acac = acetylacetonoate) in the presence of /m(o-mcthoxyphcnyl)phosphine in aqueous dioxane... 

Vinyltin compounds are very important in organic synthesis, since the vinyl moiety can be readily transferred to carbon in the (palladium-catalyzed) Stille reaction. The transfer is stereospecific, and the geometry of the vinyltin moiety can be easily checked using proton and carbon-13 NMR via the coupling satellites. 

The palladium-catalyzed annulation of alkynes by functionally-substituted aryl and vinylic halides or triflates provides a veiy convenient and efficient approach to a wide variety of heterocycles and carbocycles. This chemistry has lead to the discovery of a number of novel palladium-catalyzed processes in which the palladium migrates from one carbon to another within the molecule providing a unique way to form carbon-carbon bonds in remote locations within the same molecule. 

The first palladium-catalyzed formation of aryl alkyl ethers in an intermolecular fashion occurred between activated aryl halides and alkoxides (Equation (28)), and the first formation of vinyl ethers occurred between activated vinyl halides and tin alkoxides (Equation (29)). Reactions of activated chloro- and bromoarenes with NaO-Z-Bu to form /-butyl aryl ethers occurred in the presence of palladium and DPPF as catalyst,107 while reactions of activated aryl halides with alcohols that could undergo /3-hydrogen elimination occurred in the presence of palladium and BINAP as catalyst.110 Reactions of NaO-/-Bu with unactivated aryl halides gave only modest yields of ether when catalyzed by aromatic bisphosphines.110 Similar chemistry occurred in the presence of nickel catalysts. In fact, nickel catalysts produced higher yields of silyl aryl ethers than palladium catalysts.108 The formation of diaryl ethers from activated aryl halides in the presence of palladium catalysts bearing DPPF or a CF3-subsituted DPPF was also reported 109... 

In 1979, the reaction of styrenyl and hexenyl halides with an alkali metal thiophenolate and ethanethiolate was reported (Equation (40))130 Reaction yields exceeded 90%, and the products retained the geometry of the starting olefin. In contrast to the stereospecificity of palladium-catalyzed couplings involving vinyl halides, nickel-catalyzed couplings of vinyl halides with thiolates gave mixtures of stereoisomeric products 131... 

Ene-nitrile oxidoisoquinolinium betaine 131 was readily prepared from vinyl triflate aldehyde 79 (Scheme 1.14). Palladium-catalyzed cyanation of vinyl triflate 79 with Zn(CN)2 in DMF at 60 °C produced ene-nitrile aldehyde 129 in 85 % yield [54]. Using the previously developed Staudinger-aza-Wittig reduction sequence, aldehyde 129 was coupled with cyclic ketal azide 121 to afford a 79 % yield of amine 130. The cyclic ketal amine 130 was then treated with 9 1 mixture of CH2CI2/TFA to provide ene-nitrile oxidoisoquinolinium betaine 131 in 93 % yield. 

A useful palladium-promoted reaction on an intact pyrrolidone is illustrated in Scheme 27 in which a 1-vinyl derivative is arylated to give both 1-and 2-isomers.55 Compounds of type 24 may prove to be useful precursors for the synthesis of pharmacologically valuable 2-arylethylamines. A related palladium-catalyzed process is described in the section on furans. (see Eq. 14 in Section IV,B,1). 

Reaction of organic halides with alkenes catalyzed by palladium compounds (Heck-type reaction) is known to be a useful method for carbon-carbon bond formation at unsubstituted vinyl positions. The first report on the application of microwave methodology to this type of reaction was published by Hallberg et al. in 1996 [86], Recently, the palladium catalyzed Heck coupling reaction induced by microwave irradiation was reported under solventless liquid-liquid phase-transfer catalytic conditions in the presence of potassium carbonate and a small amount of [Pd(PPh3)2Cl2]-TBAB as a catalyst [87]. The arylation of alkenes with aryl iodides proceeded smoothly to afford exclusively trans product in high yields (86-93%) (Eq. 61). 

Aryl and vinyl nitriles have been prepared very efficiently from the corresponding bromides by palladium-catalyzed reactions under microwaves. This energy source has been employed for the conversion of these nitriles into aryl and vinyl tetrazoles by cycloaddition reactions with sodium azide (Scheme 9.66). The direct transformation of aryl halides to the aryl tetrazoles in a one pot procedure could be accomplished both in solution and on a solid support [115], The reactions were complete in a few minutes, a reaction time considerably shorter than those previously reported for the thermal reactions. The cydoadditions were performed with sodium azide and ammonium chloride in DMF and, although no explosion occurred in the development of this work, the authors point out the necessity of taking adequate precautions against this eventuality. 

The Heck reaction, a palladium-catalyzed vinylic substitution, is conducted with olefins and organohalides or pseudohalides are frequently used as reactants [15, 16], One of the strengths of the method is that it enables the direct monofunctionalization of a vinylic carbon, which is difficult to achieve by other means. Numerous elegant transformations based on Heck chemistry have been developed in natural and non-natural product synthesis. Intermolecular reactions with cyclic and acyclic al-kenes, and intramolecular cyclization procedures, have led to the assembly of a variety of complex and sterically congested molecules. 

Microwave promoted, palladium-catalyzed, DPPP-controlled arylation of butyl vinyl ether with 4-tert-butylphenyl triflate afforded the branched arylation product and the corresponding methyl ketone, indicating the occurrence of selective internal a-arylation. Addition of water to the reaction mixture and microwave-heating for 2.8 min at 55 W smoothly produced the hydrolyzed product, 4-tert-butylacetophe-none, with an isolated yield of 77% (Eq. 11.2) [17].
