Abstract:
Herein, is the reported synthesis and utilization of redox-active arylazoformamide (AAF) ligands in palladium(II) precatalysts for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. Complexes were formed from 2 equiv of an AAF ligand with Pd(II)Cl2 in an appropriate solvent to create the square planar (AAF)2PdCl2 precatalyst. A thorough investigation of aryl bromides and arylboronic acids found that 1.0 mol % precatalyst with cesium carbonate (Cs2CO3) as base, 1,4-dioxane as solvent at 90 °C for 24 h allowed for excellent conversions to the biphenyl products (over 20 examples). To highlight the AAF ligand class, a set of comparison reactions were performed with redox-active arylazothioformamide ligands, i.e., an (ATF)2PdCl2 complex, other commercial palladium(II) complexes, and a Ni(II)Cl2 arylazoformamide coordination complex2. The (AAF)2PdCl2 complexes outperformed all of others tested. Mechanistically, it is proposed that the AAF ligand singly reduces to antiferromagnetically couple to the palladium(I) complex as a transmetalation intermediate. Ni-based precatalysts were found to be inactive for the studied Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. Overall, these ligand systems offer a unique look into redox-active palladium cross-coupling reactions as well as being phosphine-free and high yielding.

Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
