Synthesis of 3-aryl-1-phosphinoimidazo[1,5-a]pyridine ligands for use in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions.

ABSTRACT: 3-Aryl-1-phosphinoimidazo[1,5-a]pyridine ligands were synthesized from 2-aminomethylpyridine as the initial substrate via two complementary routes. The first synthetic pathway underwent the coupling of 2-aminomethylpyridine with substituted benzoyl chlorides, followed by cyclization, iodination and palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling phosphination reactions sequence to give our phosphorus ligands. In the second route, 2-aminomethylpyridine was cyclized with aryl aldehydes, followed by the iodination and palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling phosphination reactions to yield our phosphorus ligands. The 3-aryl-1-phosphinoimidazo[1,5-a]pyridine ligands were evaluated in palladium-catalyzed sterically-hindered biaryl and heterobiaryl Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions.
