• ) (Figure 1). Complexes 1 and 2 are commercially available and have proven to be highly efficient in Suzuki–Miyaura coupling and Buchwald–Hartwig amination reactions [17][18][19][20]. We have also evaluated the recently reported [Pd(IPr*)(cin)Cl] (3), which has shown potency in Suzuki–Miyaura couplings [21

• -diazacarbazole by using a palladium-catalyzed double N-arylation of 4,4’-dichloro-3,3’-bipyridine, itself obtained after a long reaction sequence [25][26][27]. In another patent, an intramolecular Buchwald–Hartwig amination [28][29] was used to generate a 2,7-diazacarbazole derivative in low yield [30]. Recently

• preparation of various 2,3-disubstituted indole derivatives 62 (Scheme 27). Amines as coupling partners through Buchwald–Hartwig amination Other strategies used for the palladium-mediated three-component preparation of substituted indole derivatives involve an efficient Buchwald–Hartwig amination as the key

• coupling leading to a mono-alkynylated product, followed by an intermolecular Buchwald–Hartwig amination and a subsequent intramolecular amination. This Pd-catalyzed tandem coupling reaction allows the preparation of a variety of 2-alkynylindoles 64 (Scheme 28). An elegant three-component process based on

• -aryl bond formation, and many examples illustrate their wide application in organic synthesis. The chelating phosphines BINAP, DPPF [17] and DtBPF [18], commonly used for the Buchwald–Hartwig amination, were recently displaced by the biaryl-(dialkyl)phosphine or arylphosphinepyrrole ligands [18][19][20

• ]. Industrial scale-up of these methods has already been applied on the 100 kg scale for arylpiperazines and different diarylamines [21]. In addition, Nolan et al. and Organ et al. have reported Pd-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalysed Buchwald–Hartwig amination protocols that provide access to a range of
