REVIEW <strong>Palladium</strong>- <strong>and</strong> <strong>Copper</strong>-<strong>Catalyzed</strong> Heterocycle Synthesis 13<br />

illustrates the combination of the parent aldehyde (83)<br />

with phenylacetamide using a XantPhos-derived catalyst<br />

in combination with cesium carbonate as base. A variety<br />

of substituted amides could be employed, as could ketonebased<br />

substrates, allowing the synthesis of 4-substituted<br />

products such as quinolone 84. Pyridine derivatives could<br />

also be employed, thus providing a route to naphthyridinones.<br />

Ester- <strong>and</strong> nitrile-substituted aryl bromides were<br />

also examined <strong>and</strong> allowed access to hydroxy- <strong>and</strong> aminosubstituted<br />

products, respectively. For a small number of<br />

amide coupling partners, the researchers were able to employ<br />

a copper(I) iodide/diamine catalyst system.<br />

Huang et al. utilized the related o-acetylbromoarenes as<br />

substrates in a palladium-catalyzed synthesis of 4-quinolones.<br />

The simplest version of the process employed formamide<br />

as the nitrogen nucleophile <strong>and</strong>, when coupled<br />

with bromide 85, delivered quinolone product 86 in 77%<br />

yield (Scheme 40). 92 The reactions proceeded via initial<br />

palladium-catalyzed amidation followed by a base-promoted<br />

intramolecular condensation step. A XantPhosderived<br />

catalyst in combination with cesium carbonate as<br />

base was optimal for the amidation step, <strong>and</strong> the addition<br />

of sodium tert-butoxide as a second base was found to be<br />

necessary to achieve high yields for the combined process.<br />

As can be seen from the examples presented in<br />

Scheme 40, a range of substituted amides could be employed,<br />

including lactams, which allowed the synthesis of<br />

N-fused products such as quinolone 87. The Buchwald research<br />

group reported a related process based on coppercatalyzed<br />

amidation, although in their case it was neces-<br />

A t<strong>and</strong>em Heck/intramolecular amidation strategy was reported<br />

by Cacchi <strong>and</strong> co-workers as a route to 4-aryl-2quinolones.<br />

94 Using molten tetrabutylammonium acetate/<br />

tetrabutylammonium bromide as the reaction medium <strong>and</strong><br />

a simple palladium(II) acetate catalyst, the combination of<br />

o-bromophenylacrylamides (88) <strong>and</strong> aryl iodides provided<br />

the quinolone products in moderate to good yields<br />

(Scheme 41). Although only a single acrylamide substrate<br />

was employed, a good range of aryl iodide coupling partners<br />

could be incorporated. A brief mechanistic investigation<br />

supported the Heck followed by intramolecular<br />

amidation pathway.<br />

Willis <strong>and</strong> co-workers exploited 2-(2-haloalkenyl)aryl halide<br />

substrates, previously employed in indole syntheses<br />

(see Scheme 8), in the preparation of 2-quinolones. 95 A<br />

cascade palladium-catalyzed carbonylation/intramolecular<br />

amidation sequence was employed to access a range of<br />

quinolone products. For example, combination of the simple<br />

dibromide 89 <strong>and</strong> p-methoxybenzylamine under a balloon<br />

pressure of carbon monoxide delivered quinolone 90<br />

in 80% yield (Scheme 42). Although all of the products<br />

shown in Scheme 42 were obtained using a dppp-derived<br />

catalyst, the researchers found that lig<strong>and</strong> variation was<br />

needed for particular substrate/amine combinations. In<br />

addition, purging the reaction of carbon monoxide was<br />

shown to benefit the efficiency of certain amidation reactions.<br />

By delaying the introduction of the carbon monoxide<br />

<strong>and</strong> running the reaction in a two-stage process, it was<br />

also possible access the regioisomeric isoquinolone products,<br />

although in these cases competing indole formation<br />

was problematic.<br />
