US Patent:

20090221820, Sep 3, 2009
Filed:

Dec 12, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/334083
Inventors:

Stephen L. Buchwald - Newton MA, US
Brett P. Fors - Cambridge MA, US
David S. Surry - Boston MA, US
Assignee:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge MA
International Classification:

C07D 239/24
C07F 9/28
C07C 233/64
C07C 233/01
C07D 401/02

Abstract:

Ligands for transition metals are disclosed herein, which may be used in various transition-metal-catalyzed carbon-heteroatom and carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. The disclosed methods provide improvements in many features of the transition-metal-catalyzed reactions, including the range of suitable substrates, number of catalyst turnovers, reaction conditions, and efficiency. For example, improvements have been realized in transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.
