Reaction orders for the key components in the palladium(II)-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling between phenylboronic acid and ethyl thiophen-3-yl acetate were obtained by the method of initial rates. It turned out that the reaction rate not only depended on the concentration of palladium trifluoroacetate (reaction order: 0.97) and phenylboronic acid (reaction order: 1.26), but also on the concentration of the thiophene (reaction order: 0.55) and silver oxide (reaction order: -1.27). NMR spectroscopy titration studies established the existence of 1:1 complexes between the silver salt and both phenylboronic acid and ethyl thiophen-3-yl acetate. A low inverse kinetic isotope effect (kH/kD=0.93) was determined upon employing the 4-deuterated isotopomer of ethyl thiophen-3-yl acetate and monitoring its reaction to the 4-phenyl-substituted product. A Hammett analysis performed with para-substituted 2-phenylthiophenes gave a negative ρ value for oxidative cross-coupling with phenylboronic acid. Based on the kinetic data and additional evidence, a mechanism is suggested that invokes transfer of the phenyl group from phenylboronic acid to a 1:1 complex of palladium trifluoroacetate and thiophene as the rate-determining step. Proposals for the structure of relevant intermediates are made and discussed.

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.
