Direct (hetero)arylation (DHA) is playing a key role in improving the efficiency and atom economy of C–C cross coupling reactions, so has impacts in pharmaceutical and materials chemistry. Current research focuses on further improving the generality, efficiency and selectivity of the method through careful tuning of the reaction conditions and the catalytic system. Comparatively fewer studies are dedicated to the replacement of the high-boiling-point organic solvents dominating the field and affecting the overall sustainability of the method. We show herein that the use of a 9:1 v/v emulsion of an aqueous Kolliphor 2 wt% solution while having toluene as the reaction medium enables the preparation of relevant examples of thiophene-containing π-conjugated building blocks in high yield and purity.

4,7-Dichloroquinoline (1a) and 7-chloro-4-iodoquinoline (1b) undergo Suzuki cross-coupling reactions with arylboronic acids catalyzed by phosphine-free palladium acetate in boiling water. Using phenylboronic acid (2), the reaction of 1a provides 7-chloro-4-phenylquinoline (3) (78%) together with diphenylquinoline (4) (12%), while 1b reacts in a much more regioselective fashion and provides 3 in 98% isolated yield. Although 1b undergoes a more regioselective Suzuki reaction than 1a, additional important observations are that the overall reaction of 1b with 2 is three times slower than 1a and that the reaction occurs in the absence of tetrabutylammonium bromide. Using optimized reaction conditions, a variety of aryl and vinylboronic acids undergo regioselective Suzuki cross-coupling with 1b to provide the products 7, 10, and 11 in good to excellent yield.Key words: palladium, cross-coupling, regioselectivity, quinolines, boronic acids.

: This account provides a broad overview of the application of solid metal catalysts in synthetic chemistry with a focus on the synthesis of medicinally important scaffolds or building blocks. Heterogeneous catalysis is a fundamental contributor to green or sustainable synthesis. Despite this, many synthetic chemists overwhelmingly focus on homogeneous methods, and due to their unfamiliarity with solid catalysts, many would not consider using them. The primary purpose of this work is to bring solid catalysts and their application possibilities to the attention of synthetic chemists in a format that focuses on reactions, thus building a bridge between the two sides for the benefit of sustainable applications and, eventually, the whole society. The two major parts of this account describe the common types of solid metal catalysts and the applications of these catalysts in sustainable synthesis. The first part gives an overview of the major types of solid metal catalysts, including common hydrogenation catalysts to metal nanoparticles. The second and more extensive part illustrates the use of these catalysts in a thematic order based on reaction types, including hydrogenation, hydrogenolysis, oxidation, metathesis, cross-coupling reactions, and hydroformylation.

9-Arylbenzo[b]quinolizinium derivatives were prepared with base-free Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions between benzo[b]quinolizinium-9-trifluoroborate and selected benzenediazonium salts. In addition, the Sonogashira coupling reaction between 9-iodobenzo[b]quinolizinium and the arylalkyne derivatives yielded four novel 9-(arylethynyl)benzo[b]quinolizinium derivatives under relatively mild reaction conditions. The 9-(N,N-dimethylaminophenylethynyl)benzo[b]quinolizinium is only very weakly emitting, but the emission intensity increases by a factor >200 upon protonation, so that this derivative may operate as pH-sensitive light-up probe. Photometric and fluorimetric titrations of duplex and quadruplex DNA to 9-(arylethynyl)benzo[b]quinolizinium derivatives revealed a significant binding affinity of these compounds towards both DNA forms with binding constants ofKb= 0.2–2.2 × 105M−1.

A regiospecific palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction using the operational equivalent of the dianion 1,3-dilithiopropyne, with aromatic iodides is reported. This reaction gives high yields of 1-propyn-1-yl-benzenes and 2-(propyn-1-yl)thiophenes in the presence of catalytic amounts of palladium(0) or (II) and stoichiometric amounts of copper iodide. No terminal alkyne or allene isomers were detected. Reaction conditions were very mild and several functional groups were tolerated.

During the past two decades, shape-persistent conjugated macrocycles with a broad spectrum of attributes and topologies have been synthesized. This includes macrocycles with remarkable electronic, optical, and supramolecular properties, as well as intriguing frameworks. Expanded radialenes are a class of conjugated shape-persistent macrocycles that arise from the formal insertion of acetylene units into a radialene framework. A related class of macrocycles, the expanded radiaannulenes, contains both endo- and exocyclic vinylene and vinylidene segments, respectively, and accordingly exhibits properties intermediate between radialenes and annulenes. Enyne building blocks have been developed that are suitable for forming a macrocyclic framework through a step-wise sequence of Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. This "building-block" approach allows us to explore a range of molecular architectures that will ultimately provide for an understanding of π-delocalization in these compounds. The synthesis and structural characterization of the first members of this new class of expanded radialenes and radiaannulenes are described.
