Heterocyclic sulfinates are effective reagents in palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions with aryl and heteroaryl halides, often providing high yields of the targeted biaryl. However, the preparation and purification of complex heterocylic sulfinates can be problematic. In addition, sulfinate functionality is not tolerant of the majority of synthetic transformations, making these reagents unsuitable for multistep elaboration. Herein, we show that heterocyclic allylsulfones can function as latent sulfinate reagents and, when treated with a Pd(0) catalyst and an aryl halide, undergo deallylation, followed by efficient desulfinylative cross-coupling. A broad range of allyl heteroarylsulfones are conveniently prepared, using several complementary routes, and are shown to be effective coupling partners with a variety of aryl and heteroaryl halides. We demonstrate that the allylsulfone functional group can tolerate a range of standard synthetic transformations, including orthogonal C- and N-coupling reactions, allowing multistep elaboration. The allylsulfones are successfully coupled with a variety of medicinally relevant substrates, demonstrating their applicability in demanding cross-coupling transformations. In addition, pharmaceutical agents crizotinib and etoricoxib were prepared using allyl heteroaryl sulfone coupling partners, further demonstrating the utility of these new reagents.

Direct triarylation and sequential triarylation reactions of simple azoles catalyzed by [Pd(phen)2]PF6 are described. Simple azoles, such as N-methylimidazole, thiazole, and oxazole, were observed to undergo triaryaltion reactions even at their C4 positions when treated with aryl iodides in the presence of [Pd(phen)2]PF6 as a catalyst and a stoichiometric amount of Cs2CO3 in DMA at 150 °C. Using excess amounts of azoles, selective C5 monoarylation was achieved by using the same catalytic system. Subsequent efforts demonstrated that C5 arylated azoles undergo exclusive C2 arylation using [Pd(phen)2]PF6 as the catalyst with galvinoxyl as an additive. Finally, unprecedented C4 arylation reactions of 2,5-diaryl-azoles occur by using the new catalytic system to give the corresponding triarylated products in good to excellent yields. The results of mechanistic studies suggest that the C2 arylation process takes place by way of an electrophilic aromatic substitution (SEAr) palladation pathway, while arylation reactions at the C4 position occur via a SEAr palladation and/or radical mechanism. Finally, a concise, three-step synthesis of the Tie-2 Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor has been executed starting with commercially available N-methylimidazole by a route that employs the new sequential arylation process.
