The selective synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrasubstituted carbazoles can be performed effectively through the palladium-catalyzed oxidative coupling reactions of N-substituted indoles or their carboxylic acid derivatives with alkynes. Unsymmetrically octasubstituted carbazoles can also be obtained by the stepwise couplings of 1-methylpyrrole-2-carboxylic acid with two different alkynes. In addition, the present coupling procedure is applicable to the synthesis of other various heteroarenes possessing di-, tri-, and tetracyclic cores. Some of the products exhibit intense fluorescence in the solid state.
Abstract:The intermolecular oxidative coupling of arylboronic acids with internal alkynes efficiently proceeds in a 2:2 manner in the presence of palladium acetate, a triaryl phosphite or phosphate, and silver carbonate as catalyst, ligand, and oxidant, respectively, to produce the corresponding 1,4-diaryl-1,3-butadiene derivatives.
1,4-Addition of arylboronic acids to acrylic acid derivatives proceeds efficiently in the presence of a palladium catalyst system of Pd(OAc)2/(PhO)3P to produce the corresponding 3-arylpropionic acid derivatives. The use of the phosphite ligand is the key to conducting the addition smoothly with suppressing the competing Mizoroki-Heck-type oxidative coupling.
Abstract:The intermolecular three-component coupling of aryl iodides, diarylacetylenes, and alkenes effectively proceeds in the presence of palladium acetylacetonate and silver acetate as catalyst and base, respectively, to give the corresponding 1:2:1 coupling products, 1,3,5-hexatriene derivatives. A further homologation of the oligoene chain of the three-component coupling products by a simple procedure is also presented.
Polyphenylalkene derivatives Q 0740Palladium-Catalyzed Three-Component 1:2:1 Coupling of Aryl Iodides, Alkynes, and Alkenes to Produce 1,3,5-Hexatriene Derivatives. -The coupling products are predominantly formed as (E,E)-isomers. A further homologation of triene (IVa) is presented. The attempt to prepare a higher oligoene from bromostyrene affords pentaphenylfulvene (XIII) without participation of butyl acrylate instead of the desired 1:2:1 coupling product. -(HORIGUCHI, H.; HIRANO, K.; SATOH*, T.; MIURA, M.; Adv.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
