heteroaryl, alkyl, or benzylic polyfunctional zinc reagents obtained by the addition of zinc and LiCl to the corresponding organic iodides undergo smooth Pd(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with aryl bromides, chlorides, and triflates in the presence of PEPPSI as a catalyst. This procedure avoids the manipulation of water and air-sensitive organozincreagents and produces cross-coupling products in high
The direct insertion of indium powder into alkyl iodides was found to be efficiently catalyzed by a catalytic amount of cobalt(II) bromide (10 mol%). Upon subjection of the thus-formed alkylindium compounds to palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with a wide range of arylhalides, a series of cross-coupled products could be obtained in moderate to good yields with the tolerance to many important
means of an iodine-catalyzed direct indium insertion into alkyl iodide in THF is reported. The thus-generated alkyl indium reagents effectively underwent Pd-catalyzed cross-couplingreactions with various aryl halides, exhibiting good compatibility to a variety of sensitive functional groups. By replacing THF with DMA and using 0.75 equiv of iodine, less reactive alkyl bromide could be used as substrate
Synthesis of Alkyl Indium Reagents by Using Unactivated Alkyl Chlorides and Their Applications in Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions with Aryl Halides
An efficient method for the preparation of alkyl indium reagents by using unactivated and cheap alkyl chlorides as substrates in the presence of indium and LiI was developed. The thus-formed alkyl indium species effectively underwent palladium-catalyzed cross-couplingreactions with aryl halides with wide functional group tolerance.
effectively underwent palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with a myriad of aryl halides in aqueous media, leading to the cross-coupled products in modest to high yields. The mildness of the formed alkylorganometallics allowed the tolerance to various important functional groups incorporated in both substrates of alkyl iodides and aryl halides.
