Metal Mediated Cross-Coupling Reactions for Carbon-Carbon and Carbon-Nitrogen Bonds Formation under Neutral pH Conditions By Zhihui Zhang
The transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling of thioorganics with boronic acids or organostannanes under neutral conditions for the construction of C-C bond has found various applications in modern organic synthesis. As an extension of this strategy, a novel cyanide-free cyanation reaction through the palladium(0)-catalyzed, copper(I)-mediated coupling of boronic acids with thiocyanates was developed. This non-basic desulfitative process provides a useful complement to the traditional synthesis of nitriles through metal-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl halides with cyanide sources.
Based on the extensive study on previous thioorganic-boronic acid cross-couplings, a mechanistically unprecedented desulfitative protocol was developed which was completely catalytic in copper or palladium. A general ketone synthesis through the copper(I)-catalyzed cross-coupling of thiol esters with organoborons or organostannanes was reported. The application of this mechanism to the palladium-catalyzed desulfitative reaction of more thioorganic substrates was proven promising. Present results demonstrated the efficient coupling of heteroaromatic thioethers with boronic acids.
In addition to the selective functionalization of C-S bonds, a novel N-O bond cleavage to give C-N bond products was investigated. Under non-basic and non-oxidative conditions, O-acetyl hydroxamic acids couple efficiently with a variety of organostannanes or boronic acids in the presence of copper(I) sources to generate N-substituted amides and enamides in good yields.
