In organic chemistry, a cross-coupling reaction is a reaction where two different fragments are joined. Cross-couplings are a subset of the more general coupling reactions. Often cross-coupling reactions require metal catalysts. One important reaction type is this:
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 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.
In Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings, the traditional coupling partners are organobromides and organoboron compounds. While Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings typically employ organobromides as coupling partners, organochlorides are more desirable electrophiles for cross-coupling due to their lower cost. The sluggish reactivity of the C-Cl bond is ...
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.
Cl(CH 2) n Cl + 2 NaPPh 2 → Ph 2 P(CH 2) n PPh 2 + 2 NaCl. Diphosphine ligands can also be prepared from dilithiated reagents and chlorophosphines: [4] XLi 2 + 2 ClPAr 2 → X(PAr 2) 2 + 2 LiCl (X = hydrocarbon backbone) This approach is suitable for installing two dialkylphosphino groups, using reagents such as chlorodiisopropylphosphine.
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
