- Selective arylation and vinylation at the α position of vinylarenes
-
In intermolecular Heck reactions of styrene and vinylarenes, the aryl and vinyl groups routinely insert at the β position. However, selective insertion at the α position has been very rare. Herein, we provide a missing piece in the palette of Heck reaction, which gave >20:1 α selectivity. The key to our success is a new ferrocene 1,1′-bisphosphane (dnpf) that carries 1-naphthyl groups. Our mechanistic studies revealed that the high α selectivity is partly attributable to the steric effect of dnpf. The rigid and bulky 1-naphthyl groups of dnpf sterically disfavor β insertion. What the Heck! In intermolecular Heck reactions, insertion at the β position of aromatic olefins is very common, but reversal of the selectivity for selective α insertion has been a longstanding problem. A general method to couple aryl and vinyl triflates with aromatic olefins in >20:1 α selectivity is presented. The key to this successful approach is a new ferrocene bisphosphane with naphthyl groups on the phosphorus atom (see scheme; OTf=triflate). Copyright

- Achieving vinylic selectivity in Mizoroki-heck reaction of cyclic olefins
-
In Heck reactions of cyclic olefins, the products usually have aryl groups that end up at the allylic and/or homoallylic position. We herein report new selectivity that adds aryl groups to the vinylic position. Cyclic olefins of various ring size worked well. The desired isomers were produced by palladium-hydride-catalyzed isomerization of the initial products. Thus, a specific catalyst must be used so that it can perform two jobs under one set of reaction conditions. Copyright

- Low-Temperature Ag/Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling of aryl trflates with aromatic carboxylate salts
-
Chemical Equation Presented At 50°C lower than the best known copper catalysts, a catalytic silver(I)/ palladium(II) system allows the decarboxylative cross-coupling of arenecarboxylates with aryl triflates at temper-atures as low as 120°C. Remarkably, polychlorinated and many heterocyclic arenecarboxylates are converted for the first time in high yields. FG = functional group.

- Biaryl and aryl ketone synthesis via Pd-catalyzed decarboxylase coupling of carboxylate salts with aryl triflates
-
A bimetallic catalyst system has been developed that for the first time allows the decarboxylative crosscoupling of aryl and acyl carboxylates with aryl triflates. In contrast to aryl halides, these electrophiles give rise to non-coordinating anions as byproducts, which do not interfere with the decarboxylation step that leads to the generation of the carbon nucleophilic crosscoupling partner. As a result, the scope of carboxylate substrates usable in this transformation was extended from ortho-substituted or otherwise activated derivatives to a broad range of ortho-, meta-, and para-substituted aromatic carboxylates. Two alternative protocols have been optimized, one involving heating the substrates in the presence of CuI/1,10- phenanthroline (10-15 mol %) and PdI2/phosphine (23 mol%) in NMP for 1-24 h, the other involving CuI/l,10-phenanthroline (615mol%) and PdBr2/Tol-BINAP (2 mol % ) in NMP using microwave heating for 5-10 min. While most products are accessible using standard heating, the use of microwave irradiation was found to be beneficial especially for the conversion of non-activated carboxylates with functionalized aryl triflates. The synthetic utility of the transformation is demonstrated with 48 examples showing the scope and limitations of both protocols. In mechanistic studies, the special role of microwave irradiation is elucidated, and further perspectives of decarboxylase crosscouplings are discussed.

- Decarboxylative biaryl synthesis from aromatic carboxylates and aryl triflates
-
A new catalyst system, generated in situ from Cu2O, 1,10-phenanthroline, PdI2, and Tol-BINAP, for the first time allows the decarboxylative coupling of carboxylic acids with aryl triflates. In contrast to previous decarboxylative couplings that remained limited to certain activated carboxylates, e.g., ortho-substituted benzoates, this halide-free protocol is generally applicable to aromatic carboxylic acid salts regardless of their substitution pattern.

- Palladium-catalyzed borylation of aryl halides or triflates with dialkoxyborane: A novel and facile synthetic route to arylboronates
-
A direct borylation of aryl halides or triflates with dialkoxyborane was investigated. The coupling reaction of pinacolborane with aryl halides or triflates in the presence of a catalytic amount of PdCl2(dppf) together with a base provided arylboronates in high yields. The product distributions were strongly dependent on the base employed, and the tertiary amine, especially Et3N, was effective for the selective formation of the boron-carbon bond. The reaction conditions were so mild that arylboronates having a variety of functional groups such as carbonyl, cyano, and nitro groups were readily prepared.
