The synthesis of 2,3,5-trisubstituted 7-azaindoles as well as 2,5-disubstituted 7-azaindoles from 3,5-dihalogenated 2-aminopyridines is outlined. Using a double Sonogashira coupling reaction on 2-amino-3,5-diiodopyridine followed by the Cacchi reaction the synthesis of 2,3,5-trisubstituted 7-azaindoles was accomplished. In addition, using two sequential Sonogashira coupling reactions on 2-amino-5-bromo-3-iodopyridine and a potassium t-butoxide mediated ring closure reaction resulted in the assembly of 2,5-disubstituted 7-azaindoles. The 5-alkynyl substituent of the azaindole was easily converted into both quinoxaline and triazole substituents, the latter utilizing an alkyne-azide cycloaddition reaction. Some of these azaindole derivatives showed very promising biological activity against the gastrointestinal protozoal parasite Giardia duodenalis.

Two dibenzoannulated dimeric steroid spiroketals were obtained from cholesterol and 1,4-phenylenedimethanol. The key step in synthetic protocol is a Pd-catalyzed double spiroketalization in an adduct obtained from the double Sonogashira coupling of the 5α and 5β diastereomers of 4,5-secocholestan-5-ol. A detailed NMR characterization supported by Single Crystal X-ray Diffraction studies corroborated the obtained structures.

An approach to the synthesis of a series of novel, enantiomerically pure analogs of β-hydroxy-α-amino acids is reported. The method involves the introduction of the acetylene group into their side chain, followed by further elaboration of the terminal alkyne moiety. The asymmetric synthesis of alkyl- and aryl-substituted derivatives of ()--propargylserine and ()--propargylthreonine (de >90%) was achieved through the nucleophilic Michael addition of the deprotonated congeners of propargyl alcohols to the C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bond of the square-planar Ni(ii) Schiff base complexes of dehydroamino acids (dehydroalanine and dehydroaminobutyric acid) with the chiral auxiliary ()-BPB.

The Sonogashira cross-coupling of 2-bromo-3,3-difluoroallyl benzyl sulfide with various terminal acetylenes afforded the corresponding 2-(difluoromethylene)but-3-yn-1-yl benzyl sulfides in acceptable to good yields. Subsequent double iodation of the enyne sulfides in a mixed solvent (CHCl/EtOH = 50/1) provided promising 4-(difluoroiodomethyl)-3-iodo-2-substituted thiophenes in good to excellent yields.

In this report, we describe Pd-catalyzed cascade reactions in which two internal alkynes undergo two -carbocarbonation reactions, leading to new carbon-carbon bonds across the emerging double bonds. The resulting vinyl Pd intermediate being obtained after two carbopalladations is involved in either terminating Suzuki or Sonogashira reactions leading to either highly substituted butadienes or hexadienynes. A variety of different precursors as well as boronic acids and alkynes, respectively, were employed, yielding a broad spectrum of the corresponding products in yields of up to 82%.

Catalytic cross-coupling between aryl halides and alkynes is considered an extremely important organic transformation (popularly known as the Sonogashira coupling) and it requires a transition metal-based catalyst. Accomplishing such transformation without any transition metal-based catalyst in the absence of any external stimuli such as heat, photoexcitation or cathodic current is highly challenging. This work reports transition-metal-free cross-coupling between aryl halides and alkynes synthesizing a rich library of internal alkynes without any external stimuli.
