Ligand-free Palladium-Catalyzed Mizoroki-Heck-type Reaction of Arylboronic Acids and Alkenes Using Silver Cation

Palladium(II)-catalyzed Heck reaction of aryl halides and arylboronic acids with olefins under mild conditions

A series of general and selective Pd(II)-catalyzed Heck reactions were investigated under mild reaction conditions. The first protocol has been developed employing an imidazole-based secondary phosphine oxide (SPO) ligated palladium complex (6) as a precatalyst. The catalytic coupling of aryl halides and olefins led to the formation of the corresponding coupled products in excellent yields. A v...

Palladium-catalyzed Heck-type reaction of secondary trifluoromethylated alkyl bromides

An efficient palladium-catalyzed Heck-type reaction of secondary trifluoromethylated alkyl bromides has been developed. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions with high efficiency and excellent functional group tolerance, even towards formyl and hydroxy groups. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that a secondary trifluoromethylated alkyl radical is involved in the reaction.

Ligand-free palladium-catalyzed intramolecular Heck reaction of secondary benzylic bromides.

A facile ligand-free palladium-catalyzed intramolecular Heck reaction of β-hydrogen-containing secondary benzylic bromides was developed, which affords pyrroline derivatives with good regioselectivities.

A Reusable Palladium/Cationic 2,2′-Bipyridyl System-Catalyzed Double Mizoroki-Heck Reaction in Water

Abstract: A reusable PdCl2(NH3)2/cationic 2,2′-bipyridyl system was used to catalyze the double Mizoroki-Heck reaction of aryl iodides with electron-deficient alkenes in water in the absence of inert gas, giving β,β-diarylated carbonyl derivatives in good to excellent yields. The formation of unsymmetrical β,β-diarylated alkenes were also studied by coupling aryl iodides with the corresponding ...
