N-Heterocyclic carbene-Pd(II)-1-methylimidazole complex catalyzed C[sbnd]H bond arylation of (benzo)thiophenes with aryl chlorides

NHC-Pd(II)-Im complex showed efficient catalytic activity toward the direct C[sbnd]H bond arylation of (benzo)thiophenes with the challenging aryl chlorides. Under the suitable conditions, all reactions proceeded smoothly to give the desired C[sbnd]H bond

A Convoluted Polyvinylpyridine-Palladium Catalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura Coupling and C?H Arylation

The development of highly active and reusable supported catalysts for Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and catalytic C?H arylation is important for fundamental and applied chemistry, with these reactions being used to produce medical compounds and functional materials. Herein, we found that a mesoporous composite made of a linear poly(4-vinylpyridine) and tetrachloropalladate acted as a dual-mode catalyst for a variety of cross-coupling reactions, with both Pd nanoparticles and a Pd complex catalyst being observed under different conditions. The polyvinylpyridine-palladium composite 1 was readily prepared via the molecular convolution of poly(4-vinylpyridine) and sodium tetrachloropalladate to provide a hardly soluble polymer-metal composite. The Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and the C?H arylation of aryl chlorides and bromides with arylboronic acids, thiophenes, furans, benzene, and anisole proceeded in the presence of 0.004 mol% (40 mol ppm) to 1 mol% Pd of 1 to afford the corresponding coupling products in high yields. Furthermore, the catalyst was reused without an appreciable loss of activity. Pharmaceutical compounds and functional materials were synthesized via the coupling reactions. N2 gas adsorption/desorption analysis indicated that the catalyst had a mesoporous nature, which played a crucial role in the catalysis. In the Suzuki-Miyaura couplings, in situ generated palladium nanoparticles in the polymer matrix were catalytically active, while a polymeric Pd(II) complex was crucial in the C?H arylations. These catalytic species were investigated via XAFS, XPS, far-infrared absorption, and Raman spectroscopies, as well as DFT calculations. (Figure presented.).

Microwave-assisted, ligand-free, direct C-H arylation of thiophenes in biomass-derived γ-valerolactone

The Pd-catalyzed C-H arylation of heterocycles with aryl halides is a straightforward and more environmentally-friendly route to the synthesis of well-defined, pi-conjugated polymers for challenging applications in electronic devices. Although this type of transformation is more atom efficient than cross-couplings, it still poses environmental issues in the form of reaction media and the use of phosphine ligands. A procedure for the C-H arylation of thiophenes, with a substantially improved environmental impact, and a promising application of this protocol to the synthesis of regioregular polythiophenes are reported in this work. γ-Valerolactone (GVL), a non-toxic biomass-derived solvent, has been used in this phosphine-free microwave-assisted process and replaces commonly used dipolar aprotic media. Activated aryl bromides gave arylthiophenes in good yields, while iodides were used and pivalic acid was added when electron-withdrawing groups were present. The reaction was also extended to C-H (hetero)arylation polycondensation and a high molecular weight poly(3-hexyl)thiophene was obtained, using low Pd loading, in high yields and good regioregularity in short reaction times. Computational studies have shed light on GVL's role as a ligand in the catalytic system.

Aerobic and Efficient Direct Arylation of Five-Membered Heteroarenes and Their Benzocondensed Derivatives with Aryl Bromides by Bulky α-Hydroxyimine Palladium Complexes

In the present work, a series of α-hydroxyimine palladium complexes with bulky substituents (i.e., {[Ar-N=C(R)-C(R)2-OH]PdCl2} (C1, R = Me, Ar = 2-diphenylmethyl-4,6-dimethylphenyl; C2, R = Me, Ar = 2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-4-methylphenyl; C3, R = Me, Ar = 2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-4-methyoxylphenyl; C4, R = Me, Ar = 2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-4-chlorophenyl; C5, R = Ph, Ar = 2,6-dimethylphenyl; C6, R = Ph, Ar = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl)) were synthesized and characterized. The structures of palladium complexes C1 and C2 were determined by X-ray diffraction. These bidentate N,O-palladium complexes were applied for direct arylation under aerobic conditions. The effects of the reaction conditions and ligand substitution on the catalytic activity were evaluated. Upon a low palladium loading of 0.5 mol %, the bulky palladium complex C6 was successfully used to catalyze the cross-coupling of a variety of five-membered heteroarenes and their benzo-condensed derivatives with (hetero)aryl bromides. The mechanistic investigation on the direct arylation supported the involvement of a Pd(0)/Pd(II) CMD process.

Direct C-H arylation of thiophenes at low catalyst loading of a phosphine-free bis(alkoxo)palladium complex

An efficient phosphine-free direct C-H arylation of thiophenes at the α-position has been developed at low catalyst loading of bis(alkoxo)palladium complex (Cat.I, 0.1-0.2 mol %). The developed synthetic method can be applied to the synthesis of α-aryl/heteroaryl thiophenes from aryl or heteroaryl bromides in good to excellent yields and is compatible with the substrates bearing electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups. The reactivities of the 2- and 5-positions of thiophenes are equivalent and not dependent on steric hindrance under optimal conditions. This condition can also be applied to other heterocyclic moieties such as benzothiophene, benzofuran, and pyrrole with high conversion yields.

A C-H borylation approach to suzuki-miyaura coupling of typically unstable 2-heteroaryl and polyfluorophenyl boronates

A method for the synthesis of biaryls and heterobiaryls from arenes and haloarenes without the intermediacy of unstable boronic acids is described. Pinacol boronate esters that are analogous to unstable boronic acids are formed in high yield by iridium-catalyzed C-H borylation of heteroarenes and fluoroarenes. These boronates are stable in the solid state or in solution and can be generated and used in situ. They couple with aryl halides in the presence of simple palladium catalysts, providing a convenient route to biaryl and heteroaryl products that have been challenging to prepare via boronic acids.

Evaluation of electron-deficient phosphine ligands for direct arylation of heterocycles

New electron-deficient biarylphosphine ligands were studied and proved to be efficient for the direct arylation of heteroarenes with aryl iodides. The ability of a more electron-deficient palladium centre to accelerate the arylation of heterocycles that remained unreactive with aryl iodides in the past has been validated and these heteroarenes can now be smoothly reacted in the presence of a new electrophilic catalyst. Experimental evidence suggests a viable concerted metalation-deprotonation pathway for the C-H bond cleavage step with an electron-deficient palladium centre.

Modulating reactivity and diverting selectivity in palladium-catalyzed heteroaromatic direct arylation through the use of a chloride activating/blocking group

(Chemical Equation Presented) Through the introduction of an aryl chloride substituent, the selectivity of palladium-catalyzed direct arylation may be diverted to provide alternative regioisomeric products in high yields. In cases where low reactivity is typically observed, the presence of the carbon-chlorine bond can serve to enhance reactivity and provide superior outcomes. From a strategic perspective, the C-Cl bond is easily introduced and can be employed in a variety of subsequent transformations to provide a wealth of highly functionalized heterocycles with minimal substrate preactivation. The impact of the C-Cl functional group on direct arylation reactivity has also been evaluated mechanistically, and the observed reactivity profiles correlate very well with that predicted by a concerted metalation-deprotonation pathway.
