The reliability and flexibility of this methodology have attracted great interest in the pharmaceutical industry, becoming one of the most used approaches from Lead Generation to Lead Optimization.

Introduction Cross-coupling reactions have made an impressive impact in medicinal chemistry, and drug discovery and development for more than two decades. The success and popularity of this type of methodology comes from the fact that during the drug discovery phase, chemists are attracted to reactions that are reliable and reproducible. In drug discovery, medicinal chemists are designing and synthesizing novel compounds that could meet the criteria envisioned for the specific target product profile (TPP) to advance the eventual selected compound (referred to as Development Candidate) into clinical trials. During this period, medicinal chemists look for approaches to modify the structure in multiple ways to impart the corresponding pharmacological activity, pharmacokinetic and physicochemical attributes, in addition to a suitable safety profile, in general known as structure–activity relationships (SAR) and structure–property relationships (SPR). The cross-coupling methodology is a reliable and versatile approach that allows for the bond-formation of a sp2-hybridized aromatic halide (acting as an electrophile or 1) with an organometallic (nucleophile or 2) using a metal catalyst (Figure1). In particular, palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have been demonstrated as an extraordinary resource and robust class of reactions [1] for the creation of carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds in the pharmaceutical industry. In this review, we want to highlight the impactful applications of cross-coupling reactions in medicinal chemistry with a few recent examples from the field, with an emphasis on the Suzuki–Miyaura and Buchwald–Hartwig methodologies due to their versatility to generate carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds and their prevalence as Molecules 2020, 25, 3493; doi:10.3390/molecules25153493 www.mdpi.com/journal/molecules Molecules 2020, 25, x FOR PEER REVIEW 2 of 22 Molecules 2020, 25, 3493 2 of 22 a few recent examples from the field, with an emphasis on the Suzuki–Miyaura and Buchwald– Hartwig methodologies due to their versatility to generate carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom the twobonds most commonand their couplingprevalence reactions as the two that most contribute common to medicinalcoupling reactions chemistry that [2 ]contribute (For a broader to medicinal scope ofchemistry other cross-coupling [2] (For a broader reactions scope beyond of other the goals cross-co of thisupling review, reactions like Negishi beyond [3 the,4], goals Kumada of this [5], review, Stille [6]like and Negishi Chan-Lam [3,4], [7 ],Kumada the reader [5], is Stille referred [6] and to additional Chan-Lam reading.)

Received: 28 September 2020; Accepted: 30 September 2020; Published: 1 October 2020 Cross-coupling reactions stand among the most important reactions in chemistry [1,2]. Nowadays, they are a highly valuable synthetic tool used for the preparation of a wide variety of organic compounds, from natural and synthetic bioactive compounds to new organic materials, in all fields of chemistry [3]. Almost 50 years from its discovery, the research in this topic remains active, and important progresses are accomplished every year. For this reason, we believe that a Special Issue on this topic is of general interest for the chemistry community. Advances in cross-coupling reactions have been developed with the aim to expand the synthetic utility of the methodology, through the involvement of new components, reaction conditions, and therefore, novel synthetic applications [4]. Although initially the term “cross-coupling” referred to the reaction of an organometallic reagent with an unsaturated organic halide or pseudohalide under transition metal catalysis, currently the definition is much more general and applies to reactions involving other components, conditions, and more complex synthetic transformations. In addition to the well-known and recognized cross-coupling reactions using organoboron (Suzuki-Miyaura), organotin (Stille), organozinc (Negishi), or organosilicon (Hiyama) nucleophiles, reactions involving other organometallic reagents such as organoindium [5,6], organolithium [7], and Grignard reagents [8] are now useful synthetic alternatives.

Box 36, Muscat 123, Oman; [email protected]; Tel.: +968-2414-1473 Abstract: Cross-coupling reactions furnishing carbon–carbon (C–C) and carbon–heteroatom (C–X) bond is one of the most challenging tasks in organic syntheses. The early developed reaction protocols by Ullmann, Ullman–Goldberg, Cadiot–Chodkiewicz, Castro–Stephens, and Corey–House, utilizing elemental copper or its salts as catalyst have, for decades, attracted and inspired scientists. However, these reactions were suffering from the range of functional groups tolerated as well as severely restricted by the harsh reaction conditions often required high temperatures (150–200 ◦C) for extended reaction time. Enormous efforts have been paid to develop and achieve more sustainable reaction conditions by applying the microwave irradiation. The use of controlled microwave heating dramatically reduces the time required and therefore resulting in increase in the yield as well as the efficiency of the reaction. This review is mainly focuses on the recent advances and applications of copper catalyzed cross-coupling generation of carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bond under microwave technology.

  • Palladium-Catalyzed Biaryl Coupling Using PEPPSI Under Aqueous Microwave Conditions
    Palladium-Catalyzed Biaryl Coupling Using PEPPSI Under Aqueous Microwave Conditions Introduction The 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Richard Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi, and Akira Suzuki for their contributions to the use of palladium-catalyzed cross coupling in organic synthesis.1 Each recipient of the prize developed a variant on the theme of forming a carbon- carbon bond between an aromatic compound (usually an aryl halide) and another aryl, vinyl, or alkynyl compound (Equation 1). (1) The reaction we will be focusing on in this lab is palladium-catalyzed biaryl coupling between an aryl halide and phenylboronic acid, commonly known as Suzuki Coupling. Since its discovery in the late 1970s,2 literally hundreds of ways have been developed to conduct this reaction under various conditions and with controllable selectivity.3 Regardless of which flavor of palladium catalyzed cross-coupling you choose to carry out, first step in the general cross-coupling mechanism is the same (Scheme 1). Starting with a palladium(0) species supported by some (usually strong field) ligand, the first Pd-R bond is formed through the oxidative addition of R-X to the metal atom, generating a Pd(II) compound. In Suzuki coupling, a Scheme 1. Suzuki Coupling Mechanism second Pd-C bond is then formed through transmetalation of an ’ activated R -BY2 species, resulting in a Pd(II) diaryl compound. Reductive elimination of a R-R’ species regenerates the Pd(0) compound and the cycle can begin again. There are many bases that can be used to activate the boronic acid or boronic ester, including potassium tert-butoxide, cesium carbonate, and cesium fluoride.

  • Parameterization of Phosphine Ligands Demonstrates Enhancement of Nickel Catalysis Via Remote Steric Effects Kevin Wu and Abigail G
    ARTICLES PUBLISHED ONLINE: 6 MARCH 2017 | DOI: 10.1038/NCHEM.2741 Parameterization of phosphine ligands demonstrates enhancement of nickel catalysis via remote steric effects Kevin Wu and Abigail G. Doyle* The field of Ni-catalysed cross-coupling has seen rapid recent growth because of the low cost of Ni, its earth abundance, and its ability to promote unique cross-coupling reactions. Whereas advances in the related field of Pd-catalysed cross-coupling have been driven by ligand design, the development of ligands specifically for Ni has received minimal attention. Here, we disclose a class of phosphines that enable the Ni-catalysed Csp3 Suzuki coupling of acetals with boronic acids to generate benzylic ethers, a reaction that failed with known ligands for Ni and designer phosphines for Pd. Using parameters to quantify phosphine steric and electronic properties together with regression statistical analysis, we identify a model for ligand success. The study suggests that effective phosphines feature remote steric hindrance, a concept that could guide future ligand design tailored to Ni. Our analysis also reveals that two classic descriptors for ligand steric environment—cone angle and % buried volume—are not equivalent, despite their treatment in the literature. ver the past 50 years, Pd-catalysed cross-coupling has partners17. In this context, our group reported Ni-catalysed Suzuki evolved to become one of the most useful strategies for couplings of N,O-acetals and O,O-acetals that deliver 2-arylated – – – 1 18,19 Ocarbon carbon (C C) and C heteroatom bond formation . heterocycles using triphenylphosphine (PPh3) as a ligand .A The development of new ligands for Pd has been arguably the mechanistic study suggested a pathway involving boroxine-assisted most important contributor to the advancement of these ionization of the acetals followed by Ni-catalysed coupling of the methods, enabling reactions with a broad range of substrates resulting iminium or oxocarbenium ions20.

Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Pharmacy 221. 100 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-554-9717-0. Palladium complexes have the ability to catalyse cross-coupling of two organic moieties through the formation of transient metal-carbon bonds, thus bringing them closer to each other to facilitate the formation of a new bond. Palladium-catalysed coupling reactions are one of the most important carbon-carbon forming reactions available to organic chemists and many of these reactions rely on the reactivity of aryl-palladium complexes. The investigation of new aryl-palladium precursors is thus of great interest, especially as more sustainable and economic methods can be developed. This thesis describes the use of carboxylic acids and sodium arylsulfinates as such new arylating agents. Protocols for microwave-assisted palladium(II)-catalysed decarboxylative synthesis of electron-rich styrenes and 1,1-diarylethenes were developed.

  • Organometallic Chemistry
    ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY 1 Organometallic Chemistry (Prelude) What is Organometallic Chemistry? Organometallic chemistry refers to reactions that use the classes of compounds (R-M) that contain a covalent bond between carbon and a metal. They are prepared either by direct reaction of the metal with an organic compound (metallation) or by replacement of a metal in an organometallic compound with another metal (transmetallation). 12:44 PM 2 Organometallic Chemistry Why Go Organometallic Chemistry What is so special about the Organometallic approach to organic synthesis? Classical organic syntheses that proceed by the SN2 pathway require a strong nucleophile attacking an electrophilic site to be effective. Such reactions are of limited scope. For instance, the formation of biaryl systems via the classical substitution reaction is difficult to achieve. 12:44 PM 3 Organometallic Chemistry Applications Organometallic chemistry offers a way out of this dilemma. Through special organometallic reactions, a variety of carbon-carbon bonds can be formed and even biaryl systems can be readily synthesized. This possibility has expanded the scope of their use in organic synthesis since bonds that were hitherto difficult to form through the classical syntheses can almost now be routinely formed. Organometallic chemistry can make possible the synthesis of 12:44 PM pharmacologically relevant natural products containing biaryl units. 4 Organomagnesium or Grignard Reagents R-Mg-X The use of organometallic reagents in organic synthesis began around 1899 when Victor Grignard discovered that alkyl halides reacted with magnesium metal in diethylether to give homogenous solutions. The Grignard reagents proved to be very reactive carbanion nucelophiles and strong bases capable of abstracting highly acidic protons attached to heteroatoms such as O, N and S, and have remained very useful synthetic reagents ever since.
