lene, and butyne in the presence of PPh3 and CuI in an<br />

anhydrous mixture of triethylamine and acetonitrile (Table<br />

47). Remarkably, the yields of products are higher than those<br />

reported under some homogeneous Pd(0) catalysis. Thus Pd/<br />

C-PPh3-CuI has been developed as an efficient catalytic<br />

system for Sonogashira coupling reactions. This system can<br />

also be applied in the synthesis of some ethynylpyridines<br />

(Table 47, entries 8, 9). Interestingly, 2-bromopyridine172 could be coupled with 2-(3-hydroxy-3-methyl-but-1-ynyl)substituted<br />

pyridines 117 and 118 to form dipyridylethynes<br />

119 and 120. The 2-hydroxy-2-propyl groups are split off<br />

<strong>by</strong> Grob fragmentation under the basic conditions (reflux in<br />

NaOH/Et3N/MeCN) (Scheme 34).<br />

Pd/C catalysis is useful for the Sonogashira coupling of<br />

s-triazines 121 173 and in the pyran-2-one series 174 where<br />

chloride or bromide, respectively, served as leaving groups<br />

(Tables 48 and 49).<br />

tertiary amine as base was particularly useful for the facile<br />

isolation of polar nucleoside coupling products obtained from<br />

iodonucleosides with protected propargyl amines (Table<br />

50). 175<br />

A selective coupling with various alkynes was achieved<br />

in the 4-position of 5-bromo-4-chloropyrimidines 125 (Scheme<br />

35). 176 The remaining bromo substituent could be exchanged<br />

<strong>by</strong> a second alkyne within a subsequent Sonogashira<br />

coupling. Position 5 was attacked first <strong>by</strong> Sonogashira<br />

reaction of corresponding 4-chloro-5-iodopyrimidines. 176<br />

4.1.2. In Organic Solvent/Water Mixtures<br />

Organic solvent/water mixtures provide a generally useful,<br />

robust, and efficient medium for Pd/C-catalyzed Sonogashira<br />

couplings. K2CO3 is usually used in these cases. Thus DMEwater<br />

was used to couple aryl iodides and bromides bearing<br />

either electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents<br />

(Table 51). 177,178<br />

This methodology could also be applied to heteroaromatic<br />

halides and triflates178,179 providing excellent yields of<br />

coupling products 127 (Table 52).<br />

It was further used as the key step to synthesize the<br />

enantiomerically pure (S)-5-ethynyl-3-(1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)-pyridine<br />

130 (SIB-1508Y) as a novel enantiopure<br />

nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist (Scheme 36). 178-179,180<br />

The coupling of N-propargyl amino acids 131 with aryl<br />

or heteroaryl bromides provides an easy access to unnatural<br />

R-amino acids 132, which could be further hydrogenated to<br />

133 (Scheme 37). 181 It should be mentioned that none of the<br />

typical conditions of homogeneous sources of Pd(0) [Pd-<br />

(PPh3)2Cl2, Pd(PPh3)4, Pd2(dba)3] were successful to synthesize<br />

the pyridine cross-coupling product 132 (Ar ) 3-pyridyl).
