Tetraphosphine/palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of heteroaryl halides with 3-pyridine- and 3-thiopheneboronic acid: an efficient catalyst for the formation of biheteroaryls

Suzuki–Miyaura Reactions of (4-bromophenyl)-4,6-dichloropyrimidine through Commercially Available Palladium Catalyst: Synthesis, Optimization and Their Structural Aspects Identification through Computational Studies

5-(4-bromophenyl)-4,6-dichloropyrimidine was arylated with several aryl/heteroaryl boronic acids via the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction by using Pd(0) catalyst to yield novel pyrimidine analogs (3a-h). It was optimized so that good yields were obtained when 5 mol % Pd(PPh3)4 was used along with K3PO4 and 1,4-Dioxane. Electron-rich boronic acids were succeeded to produce good yields of products. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were also applied on these new compounds to analyze their reactivity descriptors and electronic and structural relationship. According to DFT studies, compound 3f is the most reactive one, while 3g is the most stable one. As per DFT studies, the hyperpolarizability (β) values of these compounds do not show them as very good non-linear optical (NLO) materials. Compound 3f has the highest β value among all the compounds under study but still it is not high enough to render it a potent NLO material.

Synthesis of 4-substituted pyrazole-3,5-diamines via Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and iron-catalyzed reduction

A general and efficient synthesis of 4-substituted-1H-pyrazole-3,5-diamines was developed to access derivatives with an aryl, heteroaryl, or styryl group, which are otherwise relatively difficult to prepare. The first step is based on the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction utilizing the XPhos Pd G2 precatalyst. The coupling reactions of 4-bromo-3,5-dinitro-1H-pyrazole with the electron-rich/deficient or sterically demanding boronic acids enabled the production of the corresponding dinitropyrazoles. The subsequent iron-catalyzed reduction of both nitro groups with hydrazine hydrate accomplished the synthesis. The additional demethylation of the 4-methoxystyryl derivative allowed the production of the carboanalog of CAN508 reported as a selective CDK9 inhibitor.

Pd-Catalyzed Suzuki coupling reactions of aryl halides containing basic nitrogen centers with arylboronic acids in water in the absence of added base

Successful Suzuki reactions of basic nitrogen containing aryl chlorides/bromides with arylboronic acids in water without added base, partially or entirely under acidic conditions.

Aqueous Suzuki Coupling Reactions of Basic Nitrogen-Containing Substrates in the Absence of Added Base and Ligand: Observation of High Yields under Acidic Conditions

A series of aqueous heterogeneous Suzuki coupling reactions of substrates containing basic nitrogen centers with phenylboronic acid in the absence of added base and ligand is presented. High yields of products were obtained by employing aryl bromides containing aliphatic 1°, 2°, and 3° amine substituents, and good to high yields were obtained by employing a variety of substituted bromopyridines. In the former series, the pH of the aqueous phase changed from basic to acidic during the course of the reaction, while in the latter series the aqueous phase was on the acidic side of the pH scale throughout the entire course of reaction. A mechanistic interpretation for these observations, which generally preserves the oxo palladium catalytic cycle widely accepted in the literature, is presented.

The effects of CO2 pressure and pH on the Suzuki coupling of basic nitrogen containing substrates

The Suzuki coupling reaction of basic nitrogen containing substrates (2-bromo- and 2-chloro-4-aminopyridine, and 2-bromo and 2-chloropyridine) with phenylboronic acid using Pd(TPP)₂Cl₂/K₃PO₄ in acetonitrile–water biphasic solvent systems under a CO₂ or a N₂ atmosphere is discussed.
