Abstract

Substrate-general stereocomplementary Suzuki–Miyaura (SM) cross-coupling and relevant Kumada–Tamao–Corriu (KTC) cross-coupling reactions for preparing (E)- and (Z)-stereodefined, fully substituted α,β-unsaturated esters are described. The SM cross-coupling reactions were performed under Pd(OAc)2/SPhos/iPr2NEt catalysis (24 examples, 66–99% yield). The KTC cross-coupling reactions were also performed under similar Pd(OAc)2/SPhos conditions (11 examples, 50–98% yield). Application to a useful pharmacophore containing a cyclopropane structure was investigated, wherein distinctive (E)- and (Z)-stereochemical difference between XPhos and SPhos was observed. A plausible mechanism for the stereoretention and stereoinversion cross-coupling reactions is proposed.

  • 10 A 50 g-scale preparation was performed by Ti-Claisen self-condensation using methyl hexanoate with TiCl4 and Et3N at 0–5 °C for 1 h (93% yield); see ref. 3.
  • 11 Tendency of (E/Z)-selectivities under the conditions [K2CO3/iPrOH–H2O (7:1), 60 °C, 2 h] was as follows: Pd(OAc)2/SPhos, 80:20; Pd(OAc)2/DavePhos, 70:30; Pd(dppe)Cl2, 62:38; Pd(PPh3)4, 60:40; Pd(PPh3)2Cl2, 53:47; Pd(OAc)2/XPhos, 47:53; Pd(dppf)Cl2, 46:54; Pd(dppb)Cl2, 39:61; Pd(OAc)2/PCy3, 24:76. The solvent effect on (E/Z)-selectivities using (E)-2a under the identical conditions was as follows: THF, 14:86; toluene, 18:82.
  • 12 Negishi cross-coupling reactions are generally more reactive with regard to catalyst loading than SM cross-coupling reactions (ref. 6). Against this outcome in the previous report, the present SM cross-coupling protocol using Pd(OAc)2/SPhos/iPr2NEt catalysis displayed sufficient reactivity.
