Application

Bulky biarylphosphine ligand utilized in the palladium catalyzed Stille cross-coupling reaction.
JohnPhos, a bulky phosphine ligand, was employed as catalyst in the following studies:
  • Hydrophenoxylation of unactivated internal alkynes.
  • Microwave-mediated Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of benzylic bromides.
  • Pharmaceutical synthesis of novel imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines, having potent activity against the herpes virus.
  • Barluenga′s coupling of vinyl bromides with hydrazines.
  • Pd-catalyzed 2,3-diarylation of α,α-disubstituted-3-thiophenemethanols, via cleavage of C-H and C-C bonds.
Ligand utilized in amination of aryl halides and aryl triflates.

Catalyst for:
  • Decarboxylative cross-coupling of dialkoxybenzoic acids with diaryl disulfides or diaryl diselenides
  • Stereoselective preparation of imidazolidinones via intramolecular hydroamination of N-allylic-N-arylureas
  • Regioselective arylation of olefins with aryl chlorides
  • Cross-coupling reaction for the synthesis of polyunsaturated macrolactones
  • Regioselective O-alkylation reactions
  • Sonogashira-type cross coupling

Alpha,alpha-disubstituted 3-thiophenemethanols undergo selective diarylation accompanied by cleavage of the C-H and C-C bonds of the 2- and 3-positions, respectively, upon treatment with aryl bromides in the presence of a palladium catalyst to give the corresponding 2,3-diarylthiophenes in good yields.
