Synthesis of 5-aryl-N-(pyrazin-2-yl)thiophene-2-carboxamides (4a–4n) by a Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of 5-bromo-N-(pyrazin-2-yl)thiophene-2-carboxamide (3) with various aryl/heteroaryl boronic acids/pinacol esters was observed in this article. The intermediate compound 3 was prepared by condensation of pyrazin-2-amine (1) with 5-bromothiophene-2-carboxylic acid (2) mediated by TiCl4. The target pyrazine analogs (4a–4n) were confirmed by NMR and mass spectrometry. In DFT calculation of target molecules, several reactivity parameters like FMOs (EHOMO, ELUMO), HOMO–LUMO energy gap, electron affinity (A), ionization energy (I), electrophilicity index (ω), chemical softness (σ) and chemical hardness (η) were considered and discussed. Effect of various substituents was observed on values of the HOMO–LUMO energy gap and hyperpolarizability. The p-electronic delocalization extended over pyrazine, benzene and thiophene was examined in studying the NLO behavior. The chemical shifts of 1H NMR of all the synthesized compounds 4a–4n were calculated and compared with the experimental values.

A series of (E)-4-bromo-N-((3-bromothiophen-2-yl)methylene)-2-methylaniline analogs synthesized in considerable yields through Suzuki cross-coupling reactions. Various electron donating and withdrawing functional moieties were successfully incorporated under the employed reaction conditions. Reaction of 4-bromo-2-methylaniline (1) with 3-bromothiophene-2-carbaldehyde (2b) in the existence of glacial acetic acid, provided (E)-4-bromo-N-((3-bromothiophen-2-yl)methylene)-2-methylaniline (3b) in excellent yield (94%). Suzuki coupling of 3b with different boronic acids in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4/K3PO4 at 90 °C led to the synthesis of the monosubstituted and bisubstituted products 5a–5d and 6a–6d in moderate yields (33–40% and 31–46%, respectively). Density functional theory (DFT) investigations were performed on different synthesized analogues 5a–5d, 6a–6d to determine their structural characteristics. The calculations provide insight into the frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) of the imine-based analogues and their molecular electrostatic potential (MESP). Reactivity descriptors like ionization energy (I), electron affinity (A), chemical hardness (ƞ) and index of nucleophilicity have been calculated for the first time for the synthesized molecules.

By using an iron-based catalyst, access to enantioenriched 1,1-diarylakanes was enabled through an enantioselective Suzuki-Miyaura crosscoupling reaction. The combination of a chiral cyanobis(oxazoline) ligand framework and 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene additive were essential to afford high yields and enantioselectivities in cross-coupling reactions between unactivated aryl boronic esters and a variety of benzylic chlorides, including challenging ortho-substituted benzylic chloride substrates. Mechanistic investigations implicate a stereoconvergent pathway involving carbon-centered radical intermediates.

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.

Pharmaceuticals and drugs have become an indispensable part of human life. Presently, a myriad of different drugs are available for a variety of mental and physical health concersn. The synthesis of these drugs, however, remains an elusive and often difficult aspect of the industry. The importance of chirality, or "handedness", in the synthesis of natural products is paramount, as any given pair of enantiomers can have widely differing physiological effects. As such, the ability to control the enantioselectivity of a reaction is of the utmost importance. One example of a facile method used to form carbon-carbon bonds is the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. Not only is this reaction effective at coupling primary organoboronic esters with organohalides, but recent work in the Crudden group in the Department of Chemistry has revealed an effective method of also cross-couplingchiral secondary organoboronic esters with good retention of stereochemistry. This work, the first of its kind, is crucial in developing single-handed natural products for a wide array of applications, including applications in the pharmaceutical industry. The end result is safer and more effective drugs for distribution to the general public. To expand the scope of this project, new substrates are currently being synthesized for cross-coupling applications. The overall goal is to improve upon current methodologies, while helping to meet the industrial and academic needs of the future.

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.

AbstractWe discuss our laboratory’s research in the activation of alcohol derivatives in cross-coupling and cross-electrophile coupling reactions. Our developed methods enable the use of secondary alcohols to afford tertiary stereogenic centers, which we applied to the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant compounds and substructures. We first ­discuss the synthesis of bioactive compounds through stereospecific Kumada cross-coupling reactions and follow this with a discussion on the development of our stereoselective cross-electrophile coupling ­reaction to synthesize cyclopropanes.1 Introduction2 Cross-Coupling Reactions3 Cross-Electrophile Coupling Reactions4 Conclusion
