Nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of diarylborinic acids with aryl chlorides

A highly efficient nickel/triarylphosphine catalyst system, Ni[P(4-MeOPh)3]2Cl2/2P(4-MeOPh)3, has been developed for cross-coupling of diarylborinic acids with a wide range of aryl chlorides. A variety of unsymmetrical biaryl and heterobiaryl compounds with various functional groups and steric hindrance could be obtained in good to excellent yields using 0.5-2 mol % catalyst loadings in the presence of K 3PO4·3H2O in toluene. The high atom economy of diarylborinic acids and cost-effectiveness of the nickel/phosphine catalyst system make the cross-coupling truly practical in the production of biaryl fine chemicals. Usefulness of the nickel/phosphine catalyzed cross-coupling of diarylborinic acids with aryl chlorides has been demonstrated in the development of a scalable and economical process for synthesis of 4′-methyl-2-cyanobiphenyl, Sartan biphenyl.

Ni(cod)2/PCy3-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of dihaloarenes with arylboronic acids

The Ni(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of dihaloarenes with one equivalent of arylboronic acids is described. The Ni(cod)2/PCy 3 was identified as the best catalyst system to achieve a double cross-coupling reaction, likely via an efficient preferential oxidative addition.

Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed domino reactions of 1,2-dihaloarenes and 2-haloaryl arenesulfonates with Grignard reagents: efficient synthesis of substituted fluorenes

Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed domino reactions of 1,2-dihalobenzenes and 2-haloaryl arenesulfonates with hindered Grignard reagents to form substituted fluorenes, which are believed to occur through palladium associated aryne intermediates, are described. Such palladium associated aryne reaction pathway was found to be favored by omitting the use of phosphine and N-heterocyclic carbene ligands for palladium catalysts and with better leaving groups. Our study suggested that Pd(leaving group)X associated arynes should be formed first and the sp3 C-H activation preferentially occurred at benzylic C-(1°)H bonds. The work described here provides a high yield, one-step access to substituted fluorenes from readily available 1,2-dihalobenzenes and 2-haloaryl arenesulfonates and hindered Grignard reagents, and this substituted fluorene-making method may find applications in the preparation of substituted fluorene-containing molecules including polymers.

Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed Domino reactions of 1-chloro-2-haloarenes and 2-haloaryl tosylates with hindered Grignard reagents via palladium-associated arynes

(Chemical Equation Presented) The palladium-associated aryne generation strategy and Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed annulative Domino reactions of 1-chloro-2-halobenzenes and 2-haloaryl tosylates with hindered Grignard reagents via palladium-associated arynes are described. The palladium-associated aryne generation strategy described here not only allows the high yield, one-step access to potentially useful substituted fluorenes from readily available 1-chloro-2-halobenzenes and 2-haloaryl tosylates, but may also lead to the development of other tandem reactions based on these readily available ortho leaving group bearing haloarenes.

Preferential oxidative addition in palladium(0)-catalyzed suzuki cross-coupling reactions of dihaloarenes with arylboronic acids

The study of Pd(0)-/t-Bu3P system as a powerful catalyst for the cross-coupling of n,m-dihaloarenes with 1 equiv of arylboronic acids is described. Our work demonstrated that the fate of the regenerated Pd(0) catalyst can be controlled when the appropriate ligand is employed. The results described here may lead to the development of new, efficient processes to conjugate polymers with controlled length which are potentially useful in molecular electronics. Copyright
