Z-Selective phosphine promoted 1,4-reduction of ynoates and propynoic amides in the presence of water

Phosphine-mediated reductions of substituted propynoic esters and amides in the presence of water yield the partially reduced α,β-unsaturated esters and amides with highZ-selectivity. The competitivein situ ZtoE-isomerization of the product in some cases lowers theZtoEratios of the isolated α,β-unsaturated carbonyl products. Reaction time and the amounts of phosphine and water in the reaction mixture are the key experimental factors which control the selectivity by preventing or reducing the rates ofZ- toE-product isomerization. Close reaction monitoring enables isolation of theZ-alkenes with high selectivities. The computational results suggest that the reactions could be highlyZ-selective owing to the stereoselective formation of theE-P-hydroxyphosphorane intermediate.

Palladium chloride catalyzed photochemical Heck reaction

PdCl2 catalyzed carbon-carbon bond formation (Heck reaction) between substituted aryl halides and olefins was carried out without a ligand, under irradiation with UV-visible light. The results demonstrated that UV-visible light accelerated the rate of the reaction, leading to an excellent yield of corresponding products. The recovered palladium nanoparticles could be thermally recycled several times. PdCl2 gave excellent conversion up to the fifth addition of substrate.

Heterogeneous photocatalysed Heck reaction over PdCl2/TiO 2

The heterogeneous PdCl2/TiO2 efficiently catalyzes the C-C bond formation (Heck reaction) between aryliodides and olefins under photochemical and mild reaction conditions. This process gives good to excellent conversion under optimized reaction conditions. After completion of the reaction, Pd2+ is reduced to Pd0. Further, Pd0 can be easily converted into Pd2+ by heating with ammonium chloride at 400°C for 30 min and the regenerated catalyst could be reused up to the third recycle with good catalytic activity. The catalysts (before and after reaction, as well as regenerated) were systematically characterized using Transmission Electron Microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, temperature programmed reduction and DRUV-visible spectroscopy techniques.

Sunlight promoted palladium catalysed Mizoroki-Heck, Suzuki-Miyaura and Sonogashira reactions

The palladium catalysed Mizoroki-Heck, Suzuki-Miyaura and Sonogashira reactions were successfully carried out under irradiation with sunlight. The Heck reaction gives considerable amount of Z product due to photochemical isomerization of initially formed E alkenes. Reaction of methyl 2-iodobenzoate with acrylamide under solar condition furnished 2H-2-benzazepine-1,3-dione rather than the expected derivative of cinnamate while the same reaction with ethyl 2-iodobenzoate gave the desired cinnamide.

Oxidative alkenylation of aromatic esters by ruthenium-catalyzed twofold C-H bond cleavages

Cationic ruthenium(II) complexes enabled catalytic twofold C-H bond functionalizations with weakly coordinating aromatic esters in a highly chemo-, site- and diastereo-selective as well as site selective fashion. The oxidative Fujiwara-Moritani-type alkenylation provided step-economical access to diversely substituted styrenes and proved viable in an aerobic manner. Mechanistic studies were indicative of a reversible acetate-assisted cycloruthenation step.

Ruthenium-catalyzed regioselective oxidative coupling of aromatic and heteroaromatic esters with alkenes under an open atmosphere

A ruthenium-catalyzed oxidative coupling of substituted aromatic and heteroaromatic esters with alkenes in the presence of catalytic amounts of AgSbF6 and Cu(OAc)2 to provide highly substituted alkene derivatives in good to excellent yields under an open atmosphere is described.

Palladium-catalyzed double arylations of terminal olefins in acetic acid

A palladium-catalyzed Heck diarylation of terminal olefins under ligand-free conditions in acetic acid is described. This procedure allows double arylation of terminal olefins affording trisubstituted olefins in good to excellent yields. The methodology is applicable to the coupling of both electron-deficient and electron-rich aryl iodides leading to symmetrical and unsymmetrical β,β-diarylated alkenes.

Microwave-assisted ligand-free, base-free Heck reactions in a task-specific imidazolium ionic liquid

1-(2-cyanoethyl)-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium tetrafluoroborate (IL-2) in presence of PdCl2 was found to be an efficient and reusable, ligand-free, base-free catalytic system for Heckcoupling of activated and deactivated iodo-and bromoarenes with different olefins. Under microwave irradiation, it exhibited good efficiency in terms of activity, selectivity and recyclability for six consecutive runs without significant loss of activity. ARKAT-USA, Inc.

Diazo reagents in copper(I)-catalyzed olefination of aldehydes

The olefination of aldehydes to synthesize unsaturated ketones, esters, amides and phosphonates using diazo reagents and triphenylphosphine in the presence of copper(I) iodide as catalyst, is described. Good to excellent E:Z selectivities as well as yields were obtained for a large variety of aliphatic, aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes. The reaction showed also an excellent functional group compatibility and aldehydes were selectively reacted in the presence of ketone, nitro, amine, ether, acetal, thioether and halide groups. The use of a cost-effective copper salt as a catalyst is advantageous compared to previously reported expensive transition metal complexes. The method was used in the total synthesis of the scutifoliamide A, a biologically active compound that exhibits antifungal activity.

Tandem annulation strategy for the convergent synthesis of benzonaphthopyranones: total synthesis of chartarin and O-methylhayumicinone

A Hauser-initiated tandem annulation has been developed for the rapid regiospecific synthesis of benzonaphthopyranones via formation of two rings in one-pot operation. This strategy has been generalized with benzonaphthopyranones 26, 29, 32, and 35. It has also been employed in a short synthesis of chartarin (3) and O-methylhayumicinone (67).
