An inexpensive and highly efficient Pd(OAc)(2)/Dabco catalytic system has been developed for the cross-coupling of aryl halides with arylboronic acids. A combination of Pd(OAc)(2) and Dabco (triethylenediamine) was observed to form an excellent catalyst, which affords high TONs (turnover numbers; TONs up to 950 000 for the reaction of PhI and p-chlorophenylboronic acid) for Suzuki-Miyaura cross...

Ruthenium ligated to tricyclohexylphosphine or di-tert-butylbipyridine catalyzes the arylation of carboxylic acids with diverse aryl halides (iodide, bromide, and triflate; aryl and heteroaryl). In addition, arylations with 2-iodophenol formed benzochromenones, carboxylate was shown to be a stronger donor than an amide, and the arylation of a pyridine carboxylate was demonstrated. Stoichiometri...

A series of new 1-aryl-4-(biarylmethylene)piperazines has been synthesized. These ligands are structurally related to SLV-313, a potential atypical antipsychotic having potent D2 receptor antagonist and 5-HT1A receptor agonist properties. Buchwald-Hartwig coupling reactions of 1-boc-piperazine with appropriate aryl halides and subsequent removal of the boc group rendered arylpiperazines. The re...

Arylboration of vinylarenes and methyl crotonate with aryl halides and bis(pinacolato)diboron by cooperative Pd/Cu catalysis has been developed, giving 2-boryl-1,1-diarylethanes and an α-aryl-β-boryl ester in a regioselective manner. The reaction is compatible with a variety of functionalities and amenable to be scaled-up to a gram scale with no detriment to the yield. A short synthesis of the ...

A new dimeric orthopalladated complex was synthesized via reaction of 2,3-dimethoxy benzaldehyde oxime with palladium chloride and lithium chloride in methanol as solvent and sodium acetate as base at room temperature. The catalytic activity of this dimeric [Pd{C6H2(-CH=NOH)-(OMe)2-2,3}(µ-Cl)]2 complex as an efficient, air, and moisture tolerant catalyst was investigated in Mizoroki–Heck cross ...

Substituted 3,4-dihydro-1,8-naphthyridin-2(1H)-ones have been synthesized with the inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction from 1,2,4-triazines bearing an acylamino group with a terminal alkyne side chain. Alkynes were first subjected to the Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction with aryl halides, the product of which then underwent an intramolecular inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder react...

The Suzuki cross-coupling reaction is about 30 years old and represents a smooth method for creating carbon-carbon bonds. Typically, in the Suzuki reaction aryl halides are combined with an aryl boronic acid or boronic ester in the presence of a Pd(0) catalyst and base to afford a variety of biaryl compounds (Scheme 1). These biphenyl templates are very common in non-steroidal anti-inflammatory...

Glycine, as a kind of commercially available and inexpensive ligand, is used to prepare an air-stable and water-soluble catalyst for the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction in our study. In the presence of 0.1% [PdCl2(NH2CH2COOH)2] as the catalyst, extremely excellent catalytic activity towards the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of aryl halides containing the carboxyl group with various aryl boronic acids is obse...

Novel and highly efficient cross couplings of aryl bromides and chlorides with AlAr3(THF) (Ar = Ph, 2,4,6-Me3C6H2, 2-naphthyl or 4-Me3SiC6H4) catalyzed by the economic palladium catalyst of PCy3 are reported without the use of a base and under mild reaction conditions at room temperature or temperatures < or = 60 degrees C even for couplings of bulky aryl halides and the Al(2,4,6-Me3C6H2)3(THF)...
