N-Heterocyclic Carbene–Palladium Complex onto Graphene Oxide and Poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) Applied as Superior Catalyst for the Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling Reaction in Water

Using polymeric nanocomposites incorporated Pd to promote C-C coupling reactions has been found as one of the most successful strategies. In this paper we apply graphene oxide (GO) as an efficient surface immobilized by water-soluble poly (ethylene glycol)-imidazole followed by introduction of PdCl₂ salt to obtain the desired catalyst. Catalytic performance of this composite was investigated in the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction under mild reaction conditions and superior results were obtained. The hydrophilic nature of the catalyst and well distribution of Pd lead to superior catalytic activity in water media. Moreover, the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction proceed successfully with excellent yield and short reaction time without any loss of activity even after seven consecutive reaction cycles.

共价有机框架材料的离子化改性及其催化合成环碳酸酯的性能研究（英文）

共价有机框架(COFs)材料是继金属-有机框架材料之后,在拓扑学基础上发展起来的又一类多孔材料.这类材料是由轻质元素(C,H,O,N,B,Si等)通过可逆共价键连接而成的结晶性有机多孔聚合物,具有比表面积大、骨架密度低、孔道结构规整、可人为设计以及表面易修饰改性等特点,自2005年首次报道以来就引起了人们的广泛关注.经过十多年的发展,COFs材料已经被广泛用于气体吸附/分离、光电、能量存储、非均相催化等研究领域.由于材料的多孔性以及相对稳定的特点,近年来COFs材料作为催化剂或催化剂载体用于多相催化反应已经成为该领域的一个研究热点.但是到目前为止,COFs材料的离子化改性用于异相催化相关研究还相对较少.本文选择二维骨架中含有羟基基团的H2P-DHPhCOF作为载体,通过两步接枝反应成功地将咪唑型离子液体引入到COF材料的孔道中;采用红外光谱、核磁共振、粉末X射线衍射、热失重分析等方法详细地表征了COF材料在后修饰过程中的变化.研究发现,1,4-二溴丁烷与N-甲基咪唑基团的引入占据了部分孔道,导致框架材料的孔径和孔容减小.同时,我们还将该改性后的离子型COF材料在DMSO/盐酸溶液中消解,利用核磁共振波谱计算了离子化程度.实验结果表明,N-甲基咪唑的接枝率约为4.9wt%.在既定的反应条件下,将该离子化的COF材料作为多相催化剂用于CO2和环氧化合物之间的环加成反应.以环氧氯丙烷作为测试底物,发现该离子型催化剂的催化性能与H2P-DHPhCOF相比有大副度提高,转化率达到了91%(120°C,24 h,CO2压力位1.0 MPa).在相同的条件下,该催化剂还对其他的环氧化合物具有一定的催化效果,其中环氧丙烷的转化率高达95%,且目标产物碳酸丙烯酯的选择性为100%.然而,对于大分子的环氧化合物,转化率和产率均较低,表明催化剂具有明显的尺寸选择性.此外,我们还以环氧氯丙烷的环加成反应为例考察了催化剂的循环稳定性,经过连续的5次循环,催化剂的催化活性得到了有效保持.我们的研究表明COF材料作为异相催化剂用于多相催化具有潜在的应用前景.而且,由于离子型多孔材料具有可交换的性质,我们可以通过将不同功能的反离子交换到孔道中,从而得到具有不同功能特性的多孔材料.因此,离子化共价有机框架材料是一类集多孔、高比表面积、可人为设计等性质于一体的新型多孔材料,有望应用于更加广泛的研究领域.     

Heteropolyacid anchored on SBA-15 functionalized with 2-aminoethyl dihydrogen phosphate: a novel and highly efficient catalyst for one-pot,three-component synthesis of trisubstituted 1,3-thiazoles

Heteropolyacid anchored on SBA-15 functionalized with 2-aminoethyl dihydrogen phosphate (SBA-15@AEPH₂-HPA) was synthesized as a novel and highly efficient heterogeneous mesoporous catalyst. Characterization of the as-synthesized catalyst was successfully performed using various techniques such as FT-IR, BET, small-angle XRD, SEM, EDX, TEM, TGA, ICP-OES and elemental analysis. The new catalyst revealed a superb catalytic activity towards the one-pot synthesis of a wide verity of trisubstituted 1,3-thiazole derivatives. This protocol involved the three-component reactions of arylglyoxals, cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyls and thioamides under mild reaction conditions. Surprisingly, the current methodology is far superior to the only literature precedent used in this regard. The most promising features which highlight the presented approach are: furnishing a very important class of pharmaceutically and biologically active 1,3-thiazoles in excellent yields within short reaction times, mildness of the reaction conditions, using water as the reaction media and facile catalyst reusability for at least nine successive runs without any appreciable loss of its activity. Importantly, the small-angle XRD analysis and TEM images of the 9th recovered catalyst clearly proved the privileged durability and stability of the introduced catalytic system, under the applied reaction condition.
