Palladium-catalyzed couplings of organometallic reagents with aryl and vinyl electrophiles (eq 1) have become classic methods for generating carbon-carbon bonds. 1 Not only sp2-hybridized but also sp3-hybridized organometallics can be employed. On the other hand, palladium-catalyzed couplings in which the halide/triflate is sp3-hybridized are rather uncommon. 1-3Slow oxidative addition of alkyl halides/triflates to palladium and facile β-hydride elimination (eq 2) are two likely causes for this comparative lack of success. Indeed, to date most palladiumcatalyzed couplings of alkyl electrophiles have involved substrates that are activated toward oxidative addition and that lack β hydrogens (eg, benzyl halides). For the Suzuki reaction in particular, among alkyl halides/triflates, only iodides have been shown to couple with any generality (Pd (PPh3) 4, 60 C; 45-71% yield). 4, 5 On the other hand, to the best of our knowledge, there are no examples of Suzuki reactions of alkyl bromides that possess β hydrogens. In this communication, we describe a method for achieving Suzuki cross-couplings of a variety of alkyl bromides under surprisingly mild conditions (room temperature; eq 3).
