  • EI-ICHI NEGISHI Herbert C
    MAGICAL POWER OF TRANSITION METALS: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE Nobel Lecture, December 8, 2010 by EI-ICHI NEGISHI Herbert C. Brown Laboratories of Chemistry, Purdue University, 560 Oval Drive, West Lafayette, IN 47907-2084, U.S.A. Not long ago, the primary goal of the synthesis of complex natural products and related compounds of biological and medicinal interest was to be able to synthesize them, preferably before anyone else. While this still remains a very important goal, a number of today’s top-notch synthetic chemists must feel and even think that, given ample resources and time, they are capable of synthesizing virtually all natural products and many analogues thereof. Accepting this notion, what would then be the major goals of organic synthesis in the twenty-first century? One thing appears to be unmistakably certain. Namely, we will always need, perhaps increasingly so with time, the uniquely creative field of synthetic organic and organometallic chemistry to prepare both new and existing organic compounds for the benefit and well-being of mankind. It then seems reasonably clear that, in addition to the question of what compounds to synthesize, that of how best to synthesize them will become increasingly important. As some may have said, the primary goal would then shift from aiming to be the first to synthesize a given compound to seeking its ultimately satisfactory or “last synthesis”. If one carefully goes over various aspects of organic synthetic methodology, one would soon note how primitive and limited it had been until rather recently, or perhaps even today. For the sake of argument, we may propose here that the ultimate goal of organic synthesis is “to be able to synthesize any desired and fundamentally synthesizable organic compounds (a) in high yields, (b) efficiently (in as few steps as possible, for example), (c) selectively, preferably all in t98–99% selectivity, (d) economically, and (e) safely, abbreviated hereafter as the y(es)2 manner.” with or without catalyst R1M + R2X R1R2 + MX R1, R2: carbon groups.

  • Palladium-Catalysed Coupling Chemistry Palladium-Catalysed Coupling Chemistry
    Palladium-Catalysed Coupling Chemistry Palladium-Catalysed Coupling Chemistry Palladium catalysis has gained widespread use in industrial and academic synthetic chemistry laboratories as a powerful methodology for the formation of C-C and C-Heteroatom bonds. Several coupling reactions have been developed with different substrates: 1. SUZUKI-MIYAURA 2. STILLE 3. NEGISHI 4. KUMADA 5. HIYAMA 6. SONOGASHIRA 7. HECK 8. BUCHWALD-HARTWIG 9. CYANATION 10. CARBONYLATION 2 Understanding the catalytic cycle Most palladium catalysed reactions are believed to follow a similar catalytic cycle. The catalytic species can be formed in situ using a palladium source, such as Pd2(dba)3 or Pd(OAc)2 and the necessary ligand, or introduced as a preformed catalyst such as t Pd(PPh3)4 or Pd(P Bu3)2. Careful choice of ligand can facilitate two steps of the catalytic cycle. The use of strong σ-donating ligands, such as trialkylphosphines, increases electron density around the metal, accelerating the oxidative addition of the catalyst to the substrate. This is most commonly believed to be the rate determining step. Choice of ligand also determines the mechanism by which oxidative addition occurs.1 The elimination step is accelerated by the use of bulky ligands, in particular phosphine ligands exhibiting a large cone angle (also known as Tolman angle).2 Ligand Cone Angle (deg) Cat.
