The naphthalene sulfonamide scaffold is known to possess CCR8 antagonistic properties. In order to expand the structure-activity relationship study of this compound class, a variety of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions was performed on a bromo-naphthalene precursor yielding a diverse library. These compounds displayed CCR8 antagonistic properties in binding and calcium mobilization assays, with IC values in the 0.2 - 10 µM range. The decreased activity, when compared to the original lead compound, was rationalized by homology molecular modeling.

This article describes a detailed investigation of the palladium-catalyzed coupling of aryl (pseudo)halides (ArX) with MSCF to form aryl trifluoromethylthioethers (ArSCF). Mechanistic organometallic studies are used to interrogate two key elementary steps of the catalytic cycle: (1) transmetalation of Pd(Ar)(X) complexes with MSCF and (2) Ar-SCF bond-forming reductive elimination. These studies reveal that tetramethylammonium trifluoromethylthiolate, NMeSCF, exhibits a combination of fast kinetics and high chemoselectivity for transmetalation.

Several approaches to the synthesis of risdiplam, a pharmacologically relevant pyridopyrimidinone derivative, have been recently reported. However, most of these routes rely exclusively on palladium-catalyzed, cross-coupling reactions and involve low-yielding intermediates, which limit their scalability and complicate impurity control. In this work, we present a five-step, straightforward route to risdiplam, utilizing ethyl 2,8-dimethylimidazo[1,2-]pyridazine-3-carboxylate-an accessible and cost-effective building block previously developed by our research group-as a starting material.

A range of (,)-1,4-diarylbutadienes has been efficiently achieved through a Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling of various 2,4-dienoic acids with diverse (hetero)aryl halides, such as bromides, chlorides, and iodides. This protocol successfully produces the corresponding 1,4-diarylbutadiene cross-coupled products in high yields across a large range of substrates (68 examples), demonstrating compatibility with various sensitive functional groups, including heterocycles. A catalytic amount of silver salt was used as a cocatalyst in this approach, replacing the stoichiometric amounts utilized in earlier reports.

A palladium-catalyzed domino Heck/cross-coupling reaction of alkene-tethered aryl iodides with β-chloroenones is reported. This reaction enables the formation of one C-O bond and two C-C bonds to construct bisheterocycles in a single operation an intramolecular carbopalladation, followed by a carbene-based cross-coupling with β-chloroenones as a non-diazo carbene precursor, providing an efficient method for synthesizing furan-linked dihydrobenzofurans/oxindoles in yields up to 98%.

Using 4-bromoindole-3-carboxylic acid derivatives (amides or esters) as substrates, this paper successfully developed a trace water-promoted, palladium-catalyzed "one-pot" reaction strategy for synthesizing 4-amino/alkoxyindole-3-carboxylic acid products. With PdCl (5 mol %) as the precatalyst, Xantphos as the ligand, and cesium pivalate as the additive, this synthetic method innovatively integrates nucleophilic substitution of amides/esters with Pd-catalyzed C-N or C-O cross-coupling into a single reaction system, achieving efficient synergy of multistep transformations. This approach facilitates a modular and rapid assembly of multisubstituted indole-3-carboxylic acids, exhibiting broad functional group compatibility while maintaining good reaction yields.
