The Role of Reversible Oxidative Addition in Selective Palladium(0)-Catalyzed Intramolecular Cross-Couplings of Polyhalogenated Substrates: Synthesis of Brominated Indoles
摘要:
A Pd(0)-catalyzed C-N bond-forming reaction leading to the synthesis of brominated indoles is described. The use of the phosphine ligand PtBu3 is necessary for reactivity. It is proposed that the bulky ligand serves to prevent inhibition of the catalyst by facilitating reversible oxidative addition into the product C-Br bond. Intramolecular coupling of a vinyl bromide in the presence of an aryl iodide can take place, demonstrating unprecedented levels of selectivity.
CuI-Catalyzed Tandem Intramolecular Amidation Using gem-Dibromovinyl Systems
摘要:
Imidazoindolones are present as the key structural motif in the family of antifungals, fumiquinazolines, and the antagonist asperlicin. The first example of a Cul-catalyzed tandem intramolecular amidation forming substituted imidazoindolones from readily accessible ortho gem-dibromovinylanilines is described.

A novel one-step synthesis of valuable 2-vinylic indoles and their tricycle derivatives is described. This reaction, which utilizes a gem-dibromovinyl unit as a readily available starting material, occurs via an efficient Pd-catalyzed tandem Buchwald-Hartwig/Heck reaction.

A highly efficient water-accelerated palladium-catalyzed reaction of gem-dibromoolefins with a boronicacid via a tandem Suzuki−Miyaura coupling and direct arylation is reported. A wide range of aryl, alkenyl, and alkyl boronicacids, as well as a variety of substitution patterns on the phenyl ring, are tolerated. Additionally, mechanistic studies were conducted to ascertain the order of the couplings
An efficient Pd(0)-catalyzed synthesis of 2-cyanoindoles from 2-gem-dihalovinylanilines is reported. Few methods have aimed to synthesize these scaffolds, which are found in many natural products and have high bioactivity. This protocol features a robust catalyst system utilizing Zn(TFA)(2) to prolong the catalytic activity. Additionally, the amount of cyanide in the reaction phase is minimized by taking advantage of the solubility of Zn(CN)(2) in a two-solvent mixture.

A novel synthesis of 2-halo-3-carboxyindoles from 2-(2,2-dihalovinyl)anilines was discovered. Reaction conditions and substrate applicability were studied. Optimally, the reaction takes only minutes when these substrates are heated in DMSO at 120 degrees C in the presence of cesium carbonate. However, the reaction is robust and takes place at a wide range of temperatures, is tolerant of aqueous reaction conditions, and can be performed in a variety of polar solvent/carbonate base combinations where the limiting factor is base solubility. A wide range of substituents is tolerated on the 2-(2,2-dihalovinyl)anilines, and yields are generally high, requiring only acidic aqueous work-up to obtain pure products. No catalyst is required for the transformation. The mechanism is believed to involve initial formation of an alkynyl bromide intermediate followed by ring closure and carbon dioxide trapping, leading to product formation. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
