Silver sequestration of halides for the activation of Pd(OAc)2 catalyzed Mizoroki-Heck reaction of 1,1 and 1,2 - Disubstituted alkenes

A ligand free catalytic system consisting of Pd(OAc)2 (cat) and stoichiometric quantities of silver salts, AgOAc or AgBF4, exhibit high efficiency in the Mizoroki-Heck arylation, transforming aryl iodides and 1,1 as well as 1,2 disubstituted alkenes into 1,1,2 – trisubstituted aryl alkenes in excellent yields in very short reaction times.

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.

Pd-catalyzed heck reactions of aryl bromides with 1,2-diarylethenes

A catalytic system composed of Pd(OAc)2 and P(o-tol)3 was found to be effective for the Heck reaction of aryl bromides with diarylethylenes. Using K2CO3 as a base and DMF as a solvent, trisubstituted olefins were obtained in good to excellent yields. Aryl bromides containing an electron-withdrawing group in para position were less reactive for the Heck coupling reaction and gave substantial amount of homocoupling by-product suggesting that oxidative addition is not the rate-determining step. Electron withdrawing group substituent in the para position of stilbene affects the regioselectivity of the reaction. In this case, the phenyl group from the Ph-Pd complex migrates preferentially to the same carbon of the double bond to which the phenyl is bonded. Finally, a one pot sequential double Heck arylation of styrene was performed, giving trisubstituted olefin with an overall yield of 73percent.

A simple, multidimensional approach to high-throughput discovery of catalytic reactions

Transition metal complexes catalyze many important reactions that are employed in medicine, materials science, and energy production. Although high-throughput methods for the discovery of catalysts that would mirror related approaches for the discovery of medicinally active compounds have been the focus of much attention, these methods have not been sufficiently general or accessible to typical synthetic laboratories to be adopted widely. We report a method to evaluate a broad range of catalysts for potential coupling reactions with the use of simple laboratory equipment. Specifically, we screen an array of catalysts and ligands with a diverse mixture of substrates and then use mass spectrometry to identify reaction products that, by design, exceed the mass of any single substrate. With this method, we discovered a copper-catalyzed alkyne hydroamination and two nickel-catalyzed hydroarylation reactions, each of which displays excellent functional-group tolerance.

THE PALLADIUM-CATALYZED REACTION OF ARYL IODIDES WITH MONO AND DISUBSTITUTED ACETYLENES: A NEW SYNTHESIS OF TRISUBSTITUTED ALKENES.

Mono and disubstituted acetylenes react with aryl iodides containing a variety of functional groups in the presence of palladium catalyst, formic acid and a tertiary amine to give trisubstituted alkenes.
