A 2,4,6-trialkylanilide-containing chiral diene has been identified as a superior ligand for the enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed arylation of alkenylazaarenes with arylboronic acids.

A palladium-catalyzed aerobic and ligand-free Suzuki reaction in aqueous ethanol has been developed for the synthesis of N-heteroaryl substituted 9-arylcarbazolyl derivatives. A number of N-heteroaryl halides, namely 2-halogenated pyridines, 2-bromoquinoline, 5-bromopyrimidine and 2-chloropyrazine, were coupled with 4-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)phenylboronic acid (CPBA) or 9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-ylboron...

Allenynes having malonate-based tethers reacted with arylboronic acids in the presence of a rhodium(I) catalyst to sequentially form three carbon-carbon bonds, and arylated bicyclic skeletons were constructed in a stereoselective manner.

A palladium catalysed oxidative β-arylation of an electron-rich olefin is described. The reaction was under mild conditions; meanwhile, additives and directing groups are not needed. Various arylboronic acids worked well under the standard conditions.

A new synthetic approach to arylboronic esters from arylzinc reagents with boryl electrophiles MeOB(OR)2 has been developed. Furthermore, this protocol could be applied to the cyclization/borylation of alkynylaryl iodides to afford cyclized vinylboronic esters.

Phosphoramidites are effective chiral ligands in the rhodium catalyzed addition of arylboronic acids to aldehydes providing up to 75% enantioselectivity and up to 96% isolated yield.

The Pd-catalyzed reaction of N-tosylhydrazones and arylboronic acids provides olefin derivatives. This oxidative cross-coupling is suggested to proceed through a migratory insertion process of a Pd carbene intermediate.

Suzuki-Miyaura reaction of aryl and vinyl halides or triflates with organoboron reagents has developed into one of the most important C-C bond-forming reactions.1,2 The mild and simple reaction conditions, the availability of various boronic acids that are normally nontoxic and stable, and easy workup and separation of the products are some of the factors that are responsible for the increasing...

A new and efficient method for the preparation of highly enantiomerically enriched α-aryl 2- or 3-indolyl-methanamines by rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric arylation of N-sulfonyl indolylimines with arylboronic acids using chiral bicyclo[3.3.0] diene was developed.
