Palladium‐Catalysed Multicomponent Aminocarbonylation of Aryl or Heteroaryl Halides with [Mo(CO)6] and Aryl‐ or Heteroarylamines Using Conventional Heating
Abstract:Di(hetero)arylamides have been synthesized in short reaction times by palladium-catalysed multicomponent aminocarbonylation of either electron-deficient or electron-rich heteroaryl halides and p-iodoanisole with several arylamines bearing either electron-donating or -withdrawing groups and aminopyridines using [Mo(CO) 6 ] as a solid CO source and conventional heating. Starting from heteroaryl bromides, a palladacycle with tBu 3 PHBF 4 as ligand is required together with DBU as a base in dioxane and a temperatu… Show more
“…The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the crude product was subjected to column chromatography (silica gel, 0-10 % EtOAc/CH 2 Cl 2 ). The yield was 72 mg (71 % 9, 149.2, 146.1, 138.1, 136.6, 127.2, 122.1, 121.6, 113.1, 49.7, 33.2, 24.3 [70] 1-d 2 : Lithium aluminum deuteride (LiAlD 4 ) (36 mg, 0.86 mmol) was suspended in dry THF (10 mL) in a round-bottom flask (50 mL) under argon and cooled in an ice bath. N-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2-picolinamide (100 mg, 0.44 mmol) in dry THF (2.0 mL) was added slowly, and the mixture was heated at reflux for 12 h. The mixture was then cooled in an ice bath, and the reaction was quenched by the addition of water (1.0 mL), which was followed by the addition of an NaOH solution (5 % v/v, 20 mL).…”
Copper(II) acetate is a frequent empirical choice of the copper source in copper(II)‐mediated redox reactions. The effect of the acetate counterion appears crucial but has not been adequately investigated. Herein, we report that copper(II) acetate catalyzes the aerobic dehydrogenation of chelating aromatic secondary amines. The chemoselectivity of acetate and chelating amines in this reaction provides a unique opportunity for a mechanistic study. The progression of this homogeneous reaction is monitored by using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy, and manometry. The kinetic dependence on the amine substrate, copper(II), and acetate counterion, together with the results of kinetic isotope and substituent effect experiments, suggests that acetate acts both as a bridging ligand of a dinuclear catalytic center for mediating two‐electron transfer steps and as a base in the turnover‐limiting C–H bond‐cleavage step. Upon including 1,8‐diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec‐7‐ene (DBU) as a surrogate base, DBU and acetate act in a complementary manner to enable a rapid, catalytic dehydrogenation reaction of a chelating secondary amine substrate. Finally, the contrasting reactivities between copper(II) acetate (promoting two‐electron transfer) and copper(II) perchlorate (promoting single‐electron transfer) underscores how a counterion could completely alter the mechanistic pathway of a copper‐mediated oxidation reaction.

“…n-Butylamine, piperidine, and water were successfully employed as the nucleophiles and a range of benzamide and benzoic acid products were produced in 65-83% yields after microwave heating at 150 • C for 15 min (Scheme 15.124). Following this first study, numerous investigations of the microwave-promoted aminocarbonylation reaction tuned with respect to the starting material, such as aryl chlorides [239], heteroaryl halides [240,241], triflates [242], and alkenyl phosphates [243], were reported.…”
“…In this regard, several groups have reported on various CO-gas free methods including microwave-assisted palladium-catalyzed Mo(CO) 6 -mediated carbonylative coupling reactions. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] Recently we also reported a facile route to diaryl ketones through palladium-catalyzed three-component cross-coupling of aryl and heteroaryl halides, Mo(CO) 6 and boronic acids and offered a mild base/solvent combination for efficient microwave-free extrusion of carbon monoxide in the course of the reaction. 33 Continuing our interest in carbonylation reactions, we further attempted to synthesize (dihydro)quinolones via carbonylative annulation reactions of readily available 2-iodoanilines and unsaturated compounds.…”
A ligand-and CO gas-free condition is developed in palladium-catalyzed three-component reaction of iodoanilines, unsaturated compounds and Mo(CO) 6 as a solid carbon monoxide source. The approach allows for smooth construction of biologically interesting 3,4-disubstituted (dihydro)quinolin-2(1H)-ones in presence of catalytic amounts of palladium and avoids the problematic use of gaseous carbon monoxide.
