Palladium catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling of benzyltrimethylammonium salts via C-N bond cleavage

A palladium catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling for construction of Csp3-Csp2 bond via Csp3-N bond activation of benzyltrimethyl-ammonium salt is described. This reaction not only offered a highly efficient approach to diarylmethanes but also paved the way for the application of benzyltrimethylammonium salts in the palladium catalyzed cross coupling reactions.

Synthesis of heteroaryl compounds through cross-coupling reaction of aryl bromides or benzyl halides with thienyl and pyridyl aluminum reagents

An efficient method for synthesis of useful biaryl building blocks containing 2-thienyl, 3-thienyl, 2-pyridyl, and 3-pyridyl moieties was provided through cross-coupling reactions of aryl bromides or benzyl halides with heteroaryl aluminum reagents in the presence of Pd(OAc)2 and (o-tolyl)3P. The coupling reaction also worked efficiently with heteroaryl bromides affording series of heterobiaryl compounds. The reaction of phenylbromide with in situ prepared 3-pyridyl aluminum was demonstrated to afford the product 8a in high yield. Additionally, the catalytic system was also suited well for the coupling reaction of benzyl halides with pyridyl aluminum reagents to afford series of pyridyl-arylmethane.
