Suzuki-Miyaura and Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions
were efficiently employed for the syntheses of aryl, biaryl, and aryl
alkynyl substituted polycyclic tetrahydropyrimidinium, diazepanium,
and diazocanium derivatives with moderate-to-high yields. Appropriately
functionalized pyridinium templates for these syntheses were obtained
under microwave irradiation, using basic alumina as the solid support.
