M. Larhed et al., RAPID FLUOROUS STILLE COUPLING REACTIONS CONDUCTED UNDER MICROWAVE IRRADIATION, Journal of organic chemistry, 62(16), 1997, pp. 5583-5587
Palladium-catalyzed fluorous Stille cross-coupling reactions with orga
nic halides or triflates require only 90-120 s for completion when con
ducted under microwave irradiation. Comparable thermal reactions requi
re about 1 day. Fourteen different coupling products were synthesized
and isolated in good yields after three-phase extraction (FC-84, dichl
oromethane, water) and chromatography. The examples extend the scope o
f the fluorous Stille coupling with respect to both the tin and halide
/triflate components. Applications in parallel synthesis are suggested
.
