Product Details of 866926-59-2On October 14, 2005 ,《Room-Temperature Negishi Cross-Coupling of Unactivated Alkyl Bromides with Alkyl Organozinc Reagents Utilizing a Pd/N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyst》 was published in Journal of Organic Chemistry. The article was written by Hadei, Niloufar; Kantchev, Eric Assen B.; O’Brien, Christopher J.; Organ, Michael G.. The article contains the following contents:
A high-yielding cross-coupling reaction of unactivated alkyl bromides possessing β-hydrogens with alkylzinc halides utilizing a Pd/N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyst at room temperature is described. A variety of Pd sources, Pd2(dba)3, Pd(OAc)2, or PdBr2, with the com. available ligand precursor 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolium chloride successfully coupled 1-bromo-3-phenylpropane with n-butylzinc bromide in THF/NMP. An investigation of different NHC precursors showed that the bulky 2,6-diisopropylphenyl moiety was necessary to achieve high coupling yields (75-85%). The corresponding Et analog was moderately active (11%). A range of unsym. NHC precursors were prepared and evaluated. The ligand precursor containing one 2,6-diisopropylphenyl and one 2,6-diethylphenyl afforded the coupling product in 47% yield, clearly suggesting a direct relationship between the steric topog. created by the flanking N-substituents and catalyst activity. Under optimal conditions, a number of alkyl bromides and alkylzinc halides possessing common functional groups (amide, nitrile, ester, acetal, and alkyne) were effectively coupled (61-92%). It is noteworthy that β-substituted alkyl bromides and alkylzinc halides successfully underwent cross-coupling. Also, under these conditions alkyl chlorides were unaffected. In the part of experimental materials, we found many familiar compounds, such as 1-(2,6-Diisopropylphenyl)-3-mesityl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride(cas: 866926-59-2Product Details of 866926-59-2)
1-(2,6-Diisopropylphenyl)-3-mesityl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride(cas: 866926-59-2) belongs to imidazoles.Although other azole heterocycles are ubiquitous in a wide range of biologically active natural products, imidazole rings occur predominantly in the natural amino acid histidine. In addition, imidazole rings are part of unnatural cyclic peptides and are used as ester isosteres in peptidomimetic studies. Product Details of 866926-59-2
