Suzuki reaction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Suzuki reaction is the organic reaction of an aryl- or vinyl-boronic acid with an aryl- or vinyl-halide catalyzed by a palladium(0) complex. It is widely used to synthesize poly-olefins, styrenes, and substituted biphenyls. Several reviews have been published.
The reaction also works with pseudohalides, such as triflates (OTf), instead of halides, and also with boron-esters instead of boronic acids.
- Relative reactivity: R2-I > R2-OTf > R2-Br >> R2-Cl
First published in 1979 by Akira Suzuki, the Suzuki reaction couples boronic acids (containing an organic part) to halides. The reaction relies on a palladium catalyst such as tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) to effect part of the transformation. The palladium catalyst (more strictly a pre-catalyst) is 4-coordinate, and usually involves phosphine supporting groups.
In many publications this reaction also goes by the name Miyaura-Suzuki reaction.

[edit] Reaction mechanism
The mechanism of the Suzuki reaction is best viewed from the perspective of the palladium catalyst. The first step is the oxidative addition of palladium to the halide 2 to form the organo-palladium species 3. Reaction with base gives intermediate 4, which via transmetallation with the boron-ate complex 6 forms the organopalladium species 8. Reductive elimination of the desired product 9 restores the original palladium catalyst 1.
[edit] Oxidative addition
Oxidative addition proceeds with retention of stereochemistry with vinyl halides, while giving inversion of stereochemistry with allylic and benzylic halides. The oxidative addition initially forms the cis-palladium complex, which rapidly isomerizes to the trans-complex.
[edit] Reductive elimination
Using deuterium-labelling, Ridgeway et al. have shown the reductive elimination proceeds with retention of stereochemistry.
