Suzuki cross-coupling has been used to access a wide range of 3- and 5-substituted 2-pyrones, which show remarkable inhibitory activity against bacteria, yeasts and fungi. 3-Octenyl and 5-octenyl 2-pyrones inhibit human ovarium carcinoma (A2780) and human chronic myelogenous leukaemia (K562) cell lines at the micromolar level.

Acenaphthylene-fused heteroarenes with a variety of five- and six-membered heterocycles such as thiophene, furan, benzofuran, pyrazole, pyridine and pyrimidine were synthesized via an efficient Pd-catalyzed reaction cascade in good to high yields (45-90%). This cascade involves an initial Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction between 1,8-dihalonaphthalenes and heteroarylboronic acids or esters, followed by an intramolecular C-H arylation under the same conditions to yield the final heterocyclic fluoranthene analogues. The method was further employed to access polyoxygenated benzo[]fluoranthenes, which are all structurally relevant to benzo[]fluoranthene-based fungal natural products.

A regiodivergent palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reaction has been successfully implemented to synthesize (-)-lyngbyatoxin, (-)-teleocidin A2, and (-)-7-geranylindolactam V. This ligand-controlled cross-coupling strategy allowed for the direct preparation of these natural products from a single advanced synthetic intermediate, providing the shortest reported route to each compound. Subsequent studies in cancer cell lines were conducted to explore the chemotherapeutic applications of these natural products.

This work explores the use of a cross-shaped organic framework that is used as a template for the investigation of multi-functionalized chromophores. We report the design and synthesis of a universal cross-shaped building block bearing two bromines and two iodines on its peripheral positions. The template can be synthesized on a gram scale in a five-step reaction comprising an oxidative homo-coupling macro-cyclization.

We present a tandem aza-Heck/Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of -phenyl hydroxamic ethers with readily available arylboronic and alkenyl boronic acids. This protocol is enabled by a palladium catalyst paired with chiral phosphoramidite ligands, particularly under mild reaction conditions, yielding efficient and succinct synthetic routes to chiral isoindolinones with high enantioselectivity. Furthermore, this reaction exhibits excellent functional group compatibility and a rich diversity of subsequent transformations.
