A protocol for photoinduced cross-coupling of aryl iodides having polar π-functional groups or elongated π-conjugation with alkenes has been developed. The radical cascade mechanism involving generation of aryl radicals via C-I bond homolysis of photoexcited aryl iodides and their subsequent addition to alkenes is proposed. The method enables iodide-selective cross-coupling over other halogen leaving groups with functional group compatibility on both arene and alkene motifs.

Let's coordinate: Copper(I)-catalyzed cross-coupling of alkenyl- and arylsilanes with primary alkyl iodides as well as allylic and benzylic halides as C(sp3)-X electrophilic coupling partners has been realized by intramolecular activation through alkoxide coordination. This alkylation tolerates a range of functional groups including a free hydroxy group. IPr=1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene. Copyright

Inter- and intramolecular palladium-catalyzed ally! cross-coupling reactions using allylindium generated in situ by treatment of allyl acetates with indium and indium trichloride in the presence of Pd0 catalyst and nBuNMe2 in DMF were successfully demonstrated. Allylindium species generated in situ by reductive transmetalation of π- allylpalladium(II) complexes, obtained from a variety of allyl acetales in the presence of Pd0 catalyst together with indium and indium trichloride, were found to be capable of acting as effective nucleophilic coupling partners in Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. A variety of allyl acetates such as but-l-en-3-yl acetate, crotyl acetate, and 2-methylallyl acetate afforded the corresponding allylic compounds in good yields in cross-coupling reactions. Various electrophilic cross-coupling partners such as aryl iodides and vinyl bromides and triflates participate in these reactions. Not only intermolecular but also intramolecular Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions work equally well to produce the desired allylic coupling products in good yields.

The palladium-catalyzed allylation of aryl halides with homoallyl alcohols via retro-allylation proceeds at 200-250 °C in a toluene-DMF mixed solvent using microwave heating. Even at such high temperatures, the regio- and stereospecificity of the allyl tr

Allylations of aryl halides take place upon treatment of tertiary homoallyl alcohols with aryl halides in the presence of cesium carbonate and a palladium catalyst. The allylation reaction would consist of the following steps: (1) oxidative addition of ar

Treatment of tertiary homoallyl alcohol with aryl halide under palladium catalysis resulted in the transfer of the allyl moiety of the homoallyl alcohol to aryl halide and yielded the corresponding cross-coupling product stereo- and regiospecifically. The

Allylindiums in situ generated by reductive transmetalation of π-allylpalladium(II) complexes, obtained from allyl acetates and palladium(0) catalyst, with indium and indium(III) chloride are effective nucleophilic cross-coupling partners in Pd-catalyzed allyl cross-coupling reactions with a variety of electrophilic cross-coupling partners.

Arylzinc compounds, ArZnX, were conveniently prepared in high yields by the reaction of zinc powder with aryl iodides, which contain electron-withdrawing groups such as CO2CH3, CN, Br, or CF3 at the ortho-, meta- or para-position, or electron-donating groups such as CH3, OCH3, or H, at 70 °C in THF, at 100 °C, or at 130 °C in diglyme, respectively. Pd(dba)2 exhibited an outstanding efficient catalytic effect for the cross-coupling of these ethereal solutions of ArZnX with allylic halides to afford a variety of functionalized allylbenzenes in high yields; the reactions were mostly carried out at 0 °C for 5-30 min in the presence of 5 mol % of catalyst. The conversion of the aryl iodides to allylbenzenes via two reactions could be accomplished in one pot.
