Abstract
The Suzuki-Miyaura coupling (SMC) reaction is one of the most commonly used cross-coupling reactions. Bulky biaryldialkyl monophosphine ligands, i.e., Buchwald ligands, are beneficial for the SMC reaction. We recently developed a synthetic procedure for arsa-Buchwald ligands, arsenic analogs of Buchwald ligands, and found that these ligands are effective for sterically hindered substrates because of facilitating the transmetalation step owing to the longer arsenic-palladium bond. However, the relationship between the structure and steric/electronic properties of the arsa-Buchwald ligands has not yet been studied in detail. In this study, a series of arsa-Buchwald ligands with various alkyl substituents were synthesized. The cyclopentyl group afforded the highest catalytic activity for the SMC reaction, particularly with sterically hindered substrates. Furthermore, the steric/electronic properties of the arsa-Buchwald ligands were computationally analyzed.
