Many mechanisms exist reflecting the myriad types of cross-couplings, including those that do not require metal catalysts. [7] Often, however, cross-coupling refers to a metal-catalyzed reaction of a nucleophilic partner with an electrophilic partner. Mechanism proposed for Kumada coupling (L = Ligand, Ar = Aryl).
The most common type of coupling reaction is the cross coupling reaction. [1] [2] [3] Richard F. Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi, and Akira Suzuki were awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing palladium-catalyzed cross coupling reactions. [4] [5] Broadly speaking, two types of coupling reactions are recognized:
The coupling of 2-chlorobenzoic acid and aniline is illustrative: [4] C 6 H 5 NH 2 + ClC 6 H 4 CO 2 H + KOH → C 6 H 5 N(H)−C 6 H 4 CO 2 H + KCl + H 2 O. A typical catalyst is formed from copper(I) iodide and phenanthroline. The reaction is an alternative to the Buchwald–Hartwig amination reaction.
Pd-BrettPhos complexes catalyze the coupling of weak nucleophiles with aryl halides. Such catalysts are selective for the monoarylation of primary amines. Other applications of BrettPhos in catalysis include trifluoromethylation of aryl chlorides, [45] the formation of aryl trifluoromethyl sulfides, [46] and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings. [47]
The Negishi coupling is a widely employed transition metal catalyzed cross-coupling reaction. The reaction couples organic halides or triflates with organozinc compounds, forming carbon-carbon bonds (C-C) in the process. A palladium (0) species is generally utilized as the catalyst, though nickel is sometimes used.
The Hiyama coupling is a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of organosilanes with organic halides used in organic chemistry to form carbon–carbon bonds (C-C bonds). This reaction was discovered in 1988 by Tamejiro Hiyama and Yasuo Hatanaka as a method to form carbon-carbon bonds synthetically with chemo - and regioselectivity . [ 1 ]
A typical example of classic Ullmann biaryl coupling is the conversion of ortho-chloronitrobenzene into 2,2'-dinitrobiphenyl with a copper - bronze alloy. [9] [10] 2 C 6 H 4 (NO 2)Cl + 2 Cu → (C 6 H 4 (NO 2)) 2 + 2 CuCl. The reaction has been applied to fairly elaborate substrates. Ullmann reaction
Heterogeneous metal catalyzed cross-coupling is a subset of metal catalyzed cross-coupling in which a heterogeneous metal catalyst is employed. Generally heterogeneous cross-coupling catalysts consist of a metal dispersed on an inorganic surface or bound to a polymeric support with ligands .
