Recent Literature

Highly stable and active Pd-phosphine catalysts have been found for the
Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of pyridine, pyrrole, and indole boronic acids.
These complexes are not inhibited by the presence of highly basic
aminopyridines or aminopyrimidines.

A new catalyst system for the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of organozinc
reagents with aryl halides permits efficient preparation of hindered
biaryls, functions effectively at low levels of catalyst, and tolerates a
wide range of functional groups and heterocyclic substrates.

New air-stable PdCl2{PR2(Ph-R')}2 complexes,
readily prepared from commercial reagents, exhibit unique efficiency as
catalysts for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions of a variety of
heteroatom-substituted heteroaryl chlorides with a diverse range of aryl/heteroaryl
boronic acids.

New air-stable palladium phosphine complexes represent simple, general, and
efficient catalysts for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of aryl halides
including five-membered heteroaryl halides and heteroatom-substituted
six-membered heteroaryl chlorides with a various arylboronic acids.

Air-stable and easily accessible PinP(O)H enables highly efficient
palladium-catalyzed Kumada cross-coupling reactions of aryl tosylates. The
in situ generated catalyst proved applicable not only to electron-rich and
electron-poor carbocyclic tosylates but also to heterocyclic tosylates, such
as pyridine and quinoline derivatives.

A range of biaryl compounds can be efficiently prepared in high yields by a
palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between ortho-substituted
triarylindium reagents and aryl halides. The triarylindium reagents are prepared
by directed ortho-lithiation and transmetallation to indium from the
corresponding benzene derivatives.

via a direct Pd-catalyzed C-5 arylation has been developed.

An efficient and mild Negishi cross-coupling strategy for substituted 2,2′-bipyridines
uses tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) as a simple, commercially
available, and relatively inexpensive catalyst for both 2-bromo- and
2-chloropyridines.

Various 5-substituted 2,2-bipyridines have been synthesized from substituted
2-chloropyridines through a modified Negishi cross-coupling reaction.

Thiophene was regioselectively deprotonated by treatment with Bu3MgLi
in THF at room temperature. The lithium arylmagnesate formed was either trapped
with electrophiles or cross-coupled in a ‘one-pot’ procedure with aryl halides
under palladium catalysis.
