Abstract

A process for preparing polycyclic aromatic compounds by cross-coupling terminal alkynes with aromatic halogen compounds or aromatic perfluoroalkylsulfonates under palladium catalysis in the presence of at least one water-soluble complexing ligand, wherein the reaction medium forms an aqueous phase and an organic phase and the palladium is added in the form of a palladium compound soluble in the organic phase or in solid form as palladium metal, in particular applied to a support.

The reaction of the invention proceeds chemoselectively, so that even electrophilic groups such as esters or nitriles do not impair the course of the reaction.

The process of the invention enables organic compounds to be prepared economically in very good yields and at the same time in very high purity, in particular without contamination by the complexing ligands.

Description

216~01 HOECHST ARTIENGESELLSCHAFT HOE 94/F 323 R Dr. RI/pe Description Process for cross-coupling aromatic halogen compounds or perfluoroalkylsulfonates with terminal alkynes The invention relates to a process for coupling aromatic halogen compound~ or perfluoroalkylsulfonates with terminal alkynes under palladium catalysi~ in the presence of water-soluble complexing ligands.

The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of aromatic halogen compounds or aromatic perfluoroalkyl-sulfonates with terminal alkynes (see, for example, R.F. Heck, Palladium Reagents in Organic Synthe~es, Academic Press, p. 260 ff.; J.P. Genet, E. Blart, M.
Savignac, Synlett 1992, 715 or G.T. Crisp, T.A.
Robertson, Tetrahedron 1992, 48, 3239) has for some years been utilized to an increasing extent in many areas of organic synthesis.

The processes cited are homogeneously catalyzed processes using Pd(II) complexes, in particular bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride. The presence of phosphorus-contA;n;ng complexing ligands generally considerably increases yields and selectivity of the reaction.

However, a disadvantage of these proce~es is the high catalyst costs which make an economical transfer of the process to a larger production scale (kg, t) difficult.
In addition, contAm;nAtion of the product and the waste with phosphorus compounds is observed, which can be a disadvantage, particularly in the case of active compounds.

Also known is the use of water-soluble palladium complexes for the abovementioned coupling reactions, 216160~

working in pure aqueous systems or in two-phase systems comprising an organic and an aqueous phase (see, for example, US 5,043,510 or J.P. Genet et al., Synlett 1992, 715). Here, water-soluble phosphine ligands such as triphenylphosphino-3,3',3''-trisulfonate trisodium salt (tppts) are used to obtain the water-soluble palladium complex. However, it has been stated (A.L. Casalnuovo and J.C. Calabrese, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1990, 112, 4324) that the yields in the two-phase system are significantly lower than in the single-phase system.

In addition, N.A. Bumagin, V.V. Bykor and I.P. Belets-Raya, Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser. Khim 1990, 2665 report low yields when using palladium(II) acetate as a catalyst.

Furthermore, the processes suffer from the above-described disadvantages such as catalyst costs and cont~m;n~tion of the product with the complexing ligands.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an economically favorable process for coupling terminal alkynes with aromatic perfluoroalkylsulfonates or aromatic halogen compounds which gives the coupling products in very high purity and good yield.

It has now surprisingly been found that in the reaction of terminal alkynes with aromatic halogen compounds or aromatic perfluoroalkylsulfonates in a two-phase reaction medium in the presence of a base, catalytic amounts of a palladium compound soluble in organic solvents and at least one water-~oluble complexing ligand, arylalkynes are obtained in excellent yields and very high purities.

The invention accordingly provides a process for preparing 1-arylalkynes by cross-coupling terminal alkynes with aromatic halogen compounds or aromatic perfluoroalkylsulfonates under palladium catalysis in the presence of at least one water-soluble complexing ligand, wherein the reaction medium forms an agueous phase and an organic phase and the palladium is added in the $orm of a palladium compound soluble in the organic phase or in solid form as palladium metal, in particular applied to a support.

The reaction of the invention proceed~ chemoselectively, 80 that even electrophilic groups such as esters or nitriles do not impair the course of the reaction.

The process of the invention enables 1-arylalkynes to be prepared economically in very good yields and at the ~ame time in very high purity, in particular without cont~; n~ tion by the complexing ligands.

The solubility of the palladium compound in the organic pha~e is preferably at least 0.5 mmol/l, particularly preferably at least 5 mmol/l, very particularly preferably at least 20 mmol/l.

The process of the invention is carried out in a multiphase system which compri~es at least one aqueous phase and one organic phase. The agueous phase can here comprise not only water but also one or more water-soluble organic solvent~. Solid phases can also be present.

To carry out the process of the invention, the aromatic halogen compound or the perfluoroalkylsulfonate, the terminal alkyne, the base, the catalytic amount of the palladium or the palladium compound soluble in organic solvents and a water-soluble complexing ligand are added to a mixture of water and one or more organic solvents which do not participate in the reaction and the mixture is stirred at a temperature of from -10C to 200C, preferably at from 0C to 170C, particularly preferably at from 5C to 150C, very particularly preferably at from 10 to 120C, for a period of from 1 hour to 100 hours, preferably from 5 hours to 70 hours, particularly 2~ 6i601 preferably from 5 hours to 50 hours.

The work-up is then carried out by known methods with which those skilled in the art are familiar.

To avoid contamination of the product with palladium or its compounds, it is possible, for example, to add sufficient complexing ligand to the reaction mixture at the end of the reaction for all the palladium to remain in solution.

Naturally, the palladium can also, if desired, be removed by chromatographic methods or by precipitation, for example as sulfide.

The water-soluble, typically phosphorus-containing complexing ligand is completely removed from the product simply by separation of aqueous and organic phases.

For the further work-up after the phase separation, the crude product is usually freed of solvent and subsequently purified further by methods matched to the respective product, e.g. by recrystallization, distillation, sublimation, zone melting, melt crystallization or chromatography.

The aqueous phase can be used for new coupling reactions without 1088 of catalytic activity occurring.

The aromatic halogen compounds and perfluoroalkyl-sulfonates used are either known or can be prepared by known methods as described, for example, in Houben Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie, Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart, Volume 5/3 and 5/4. For example, aromatic halides can be obtained by replacing the diazonium group in a corresponding diazonium 6alt by chlorine, bromine or iodine.
Furthermore, hydroxy-substituted nitrogen heterocycles can be converted into the correspo~; ng halides by means of phosphorus trihalides and phosphorus oxytrihalides.

The products of the process of the invention are l-aryl-alkynes, i.e. compounds containing the structural element -Ar-C--C- (where Ar is an aryl or heteroaryl group).

Such compounds are suitable, inter alia, as liquid-crystalline materials or can serve as intermediates for the preparation of li~uid-crystalline compounds. Further-more, they are used as precursors for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, dyes, detergents and polymers, including additives for these.

The present invention is illustrated by the examples below, without being restricted thereby. The abbreviations used have the following meAn;ngs:

The mixture is ~tirred for 15 minutes. The reaction mixture i~ cooled to 0C. 5.1 g (0.06 mol) of piperidine and 11.4 mg (0.6 mmol) of copper(I) iodide are subseguently added.

The reaction mixture is stirred for 1 hour at 0C and for 15 hours at room temperature. It is subsequently admixed with 100 ml of saturated aqueou~ A-~o~;um chloride solution and 100 ml of ethyl acetate. The organic phase is separated off and dried over sodium sulfate. After evaporation of the organic phase, the crude product is recrystallized from 200 ml of methylcycloheYAne at -20C.
Yield: 6.1 g (0.0367 mol; 92 % of theory); melting point:
