Palladium Catalyzed Suzuki Cross-Coupling Reactions and Their Uses in Organic Synthesis
Palladium catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are a useful way to create a new carbon-carbon bond in near quantitative yields and relatively moderate conditions.1,2 This makes them very useful tools in both organic and inorganic synthesis as well as materials research. The reaction itself was first discovered and researched almost simultaneously in the 1970’s by Dr. Akira Suzuki of Hokkaido University, Japan, Dr. Ei-ichi Negishi of Purdue University, and Dr. Richard F. Heck of the University of Delaware.1 They received the Nobel prize in the field of chemistry for their contributions to the development of this method.
In order for the general cross-coupling reaction to take place certain conditions and reagents are needed. A boronic acid such as vinylic, aryl, or alkyl boronic acid that is used to transfer one of the carbon structures to the palladium complex in the transmetalation step of the reaction. An organic electrophile such as a vinylic halide, aryl halide, or alkyl halide, that is used to transfer the other carbon structure to the palladium complex in the oxidative addition step of the reaction. A Pd0 catalyst complex that is protected by a ligand group in order to protect it from decomposition or oxidation before the reaction begins. These are often made in situ before the reaction begins due to some of them being air sensitive.1 Examples of the Pd0 catalysts that are used in cross-coupling reactions include palladium dibenzylacetone (Pd2(dba)3), palladium triphenylphosphorus (Pd(PPh3)4), and palladium chloride (Pd(Cl)2).1,2 Other transition metal catalysts have also been proven to work in cross-coupling reactions as well with ma...

The percent yield of products that was calculated for this reaction was about 81.2%, fairly less pure than the previous product but still decently pure. A carbon NMR and H NMR were produced and used to identify the inequivalent carbons and hydrogens of the product. There were 9 constitutionally inequivalent carbons and potentially 4,5, or 6 constitutionally inequivalent hydrogens. On the H NMR there are 5 peaks, but at a closer inspection of the product, it seems there is only 4 constitutionally inequivalent hydrogens because of the symmetry held by the product and of this H’s. However, expansion of the peaks around the aromatic region on the NMR show 3 peaks, which was suppose to be only 2 peaks. In between the peaks is a peak from the solvent, xylene, that was used, which may account to for this discrepancy in the NMR. Furthermore, the product may have not been fully dissolved or was contaminated, leading to distortion (a splitting) of the peaks. The 2 peaks further down the spectrum were distinguished from two H’s, HF and HE, based off of shielding affects. The HF was closer to the O, so it experienced more of an up field shift than HE. On the C NMR, there are 9 constitutionally inequivalent carbons. A CNMR Peak Position for Typical Functional Group table was consulted to assign the carbons to their corresponding peaks. The carbonyl carbon, C1, is the farthest up field, while the carbons on the benzene ring are in the 120-140 ppm region. The sp3 hybridized carbon, C2 and C3, are the lowest on the spectrum. This reaction verifies the statement, ”Measurements have shown that while naphthalene and benzene both are considered especially stable due to their aromaticity, benzene is significantly more stable than naphthalene.” As seen in the reaction, the benzene ring is left untouched and only the naphthalene is involved in the reaction with maleic
The goal of this lab is to exemplify a standard method for making alkyne groups in two main steps: adding bromine to alkene groups, and followed by heating the product with a strong base to eliminate H and Br from C. Then, in order to purify the product obtained, recrystallization method is used with ethanol and water. Lastly, the melting point and IR spectrum are used to determine the purity of diphenylacetylene.
and Gram-negative bacteria.[139] Mannich reaction also plays a significant role in bioactive skeleton target synthesis. Chernov et al. reported the synthesis of alkaloid-like molecules 22 and 23 from lambertianic acid via Mannich-type intramolecular ring closure reaction (Figure 6).[140]
The well-known “penicillin of cancer drugs” is probably an appropriate nickname of cisplatin due to its world widely use as the first and one of the most effective treatment for numerous cancer diagnoses. One important thing that must be point out is that cisplatin is a very simple inorganic molecule comparing to other cancer drugs which generally are complex organic molecules. In order to design and develop new related cancer drugs, cisplatin has been used as a gold model by many scientists.

Molecules are pull together in a concise way and not in a linear approach using MCRs. Therefore, structure–activity relationships (SARs) can be rapidly generated using MCRs, since all property determining moieties are introduced in one step instead of seriatim [13]. MCRs provide a huge chemical diversity and currently more than hundreds of different scaffolds have been described in the chemical literature. For example, more than 40 different ways to access differentially substituted piperazine scaffolds using MCRs have been recently reviewed [14]. Multi-component reactions (MCRs) have emerged as an attractive and powerful strategy for organic synthesis compared to multistep reactions due to the creation of several new bonds in a one-pot reaction, low number of reaction and purification steps, selectivity, synthetic convergence, high atom economy, simplicity, and synthetic efficiency [15]. Therefore, academic and industrial research groups have increasingly focused on the use of MCRs to synthesize a broad range of products [16]. In fact, development of MCRs can lead to new efficient synthetic methodologies to afford many small organic compounds in the field of modern organic, bioorganic, and medicinal chemistry

...e of a modern multidisciplinary discipline that could serve to arouse the interesting medicinal sciences. Increased interest in the study of natural products in drug development, as well as rapidly altering investigation strategies are the driving forces, modernizing the pharmacognosy. Pharmacognosy, now a day focuses on finding novel and unique molecules and revealing unknown targets by studying such molecules in nature. It is now well understood that pharmacognosy is one of several scientific disciplines that have an inimitable strategic position in connecting biology with chemistry and even medicine. New and improved strategies regarding the selection of organism selection, bioassays techniques, isolation procedures, and structure elucidation are constantly devoloped based on the latest advancements in pharmacognosy (Bruhn & Bohlin, 1997; Claeson & Bohlin, 1997).
