Suzuki Coupling Reactions of Heteroarylboronic Acids with Aryl Halides and Arylboronic Acids with Heteroaryl Bromides Using a Tetraphosphine/Palladium Catalyst

Abstract

cis,cis,cis-1,2,3,4-Tetrakis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)cyclopentane/[PdCl(C₃H₅)]₂ efficiently catalyses the Suzuki reaction of heteroarylboronic acids with aryl bromides and also the coupling of arylboronic acids with heteroaryl bromides. The coupling of thiopheneboronic acids, 3-furanboronic acid and 3-pyridineboronic acid with a variety of aryl bromides gave the corresponding adducts in good yields. However, in most cases, ­better results in terms of substrate/catalyst ratio were obtained for the reaction of heteroaryl bromides with arylboronic acids.
