T-BuXPhos: A highly efficient ligand for Buchwald-Hartwig coupling in water

An efficient and versatile 'green' catalytic system for the Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling reaction in water is reported. In an aqueous micellar medium, the combination of t-BuXPhos with [(cinnamyl)PdCl]2 showed excellent performance for coupling arylbromides or chlorides with a large set of amines, amides, ureas and carbamates. The method is functional-group tolerant, proceeds smoothly (30 to 50 °C) and provides rapid access to the target compounds in good to excellent isolated yields. When applied to the synthesis of a known NaV1.8 modulator, this method led to a significant improvement of the E-factor in comparison with classical organic synthesis. the Partner Organisations 2014.

In Situ Formation of Cationic π-Allylpalladium Precatalysts in Alcoholic Solvents: Application to C-N Bond Formation

We report an efficient Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling reaction in alcoholic solvent, in which a low catalyst loading showed excellent performance for coupling aryl halides (I, Br, and Cl) with a broad set of amines, amides, ureas, and carbamates under mild conditions. Mechanistically speaking, in a protic and polar medium, extremely bulky biarylphosphine ligands interact with the dimeric precatalyst [Pd(π-(R)-allyl)Cl]2 to form the corresponding cationic complexes [Pd(π-(R)-allyl)(L)]Cl in situ and spontaneously. The resulting precatalyst further evolves under basic conditions into the corresponding L-Pd(0) catalyst, which is commonly employed for cross-coupling reactions. This mechanistic study highlights the prominent role of alcoholic solvents for the formation of the active catalyst.

Copper anchored on phosphorus g-C3N4as a highly efficient photocatalyst for the synthesis ofN-arylpyridin-2-amines

A heterogeneous photocatalyst based on copper modified phosphorus doped g-C3N4(Cu/P-CN) has been prepared and characterized. This recyclable catalyst exhibited high photocatalytic activity for the synthesis ofN-arylpyridin-2-amine derivatives by the reaction of 2-aminopyridine and aryl boronic acid at room temperature under the irradiation of blue light. Importantly, the range of substrates for this coupling reaction has been expanded to include aryl boronic acids with strong electron-withdrawing groups as viable raw materials. In addition, this heterogeneous catalyst can be used at least 6 times while maintaining its catalytic activity.

Iridium(III)-Catalyzed Tandem Annulation of Pyridine-Substituted Anilines and α-Cl Ketones for Obtaining 2-Arylindoles

A facile and expeditious protocol for the synthesis of 2-arylindole compounds from readily available N-(2-pyridyl)anilines and commercially available α-Cl ketones through iridium-catalyzed C-H activation and cyclization is reported here. As a complementary approach to the conventional strategies for indole synthesis, the transformation exhibits powerful reactivity, tolerates a large number of functional groups, and proceeds with good to excellent yields under mild conditions, providing a straightforward method to obtain structurally diverse and valuable indole scaffolds. Furthermore, the reaction could be easily scaled up to gram scale.

Ruthenium-catalyzed synthesis of indole derivatives from: N -aryl-2-aminopyridines and alpha-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides

Indole is a ubiquitous structural motif with important applications in many areas of chemistry. Given this, a simple and efficient Ru(ii)-catalyzed synthesis of indole via intermolecular annulation of N-aryl-2-aminopyridines and sulfoxonium ylides was proposed and accomplished. Excellent selectivity and good functional group tolerance of this transformation were observed. This protocol provides easy access to a wide variety of useful indoles in the presence of a commercially available [Ru(p-cymene)Cl2]2 catalyst. A possible mechanism for the reaction pathway was also proposed. More importantly, this reaction will offer a useful method for the construction of enantioenriched indole frameworks.

Palladium-Catalyzed Amination of Aryl Sulfides and Sulfoxides with Azaarylamines of Poor Nucleophilicity

The amination of aryl sulfides and sulfoxides with azaarylamines is investigated using a palladium-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex. Because azaarylamines are less nucleophilic than anilines, more reactive diaryl sulfides and sulfoxides are found to be suitable coupling partners that liberate better leaving arenethiolate or arenesulfenate anions, instead of aryl methyl sulfides as reported previously.

Synthesis of 2-substituted indoles by iridium (III)-catalyzed C–]H functionalization of N-phenylpyridin-2-amines

A highly regioselective synthesis of 2-substituted indoles was realized through Ir(III)-catalyzed C–]H functionalization of N-phenylpyridin-2-amines followed by the reaction with sulfoxonium ylides and intramolecular cyclization under mild conditions. The reaction completed with broad range of substrate scopes and gave various 2-substituted indoles in up to 98% yields.

Iridium-Catalysed Cascade Synthesis of Oxindoles Using Diazo Compounds: A Quick Entry to C-7-Functionalized Oxindoles

A cascade iridium-catalysed oxindole synthesis was achieved using pyridyl-protected anilines and bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) 2-diazomalonate. The developed protocol is simple and scalable, and has a broad scope and excellent regioselectivity. The pyridyl directing group can easily be removed. The method was further extended to give C-7-functionalized oxindole derivatives in a straightforward manner. The role of bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) 2-diazomalonate for oxindole preparation has been explored.

Application of a 2-aryl indenylphosphine ligand in the Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling reactions of aryl and heteroaryl chlorides under the solvent-free and aqueous conditions

An efficient solvent-free protocol for the Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling reaction of aryl and heteroaryl chlorides with primary and secondary amines using the Pd(dba)2/ligand 1 catalytic system has been developed. Notably, the catalytic system also efficiently catalyzed the reaction under aqueous conditions.
