Palladium(II)-N-heterocyclic carbene complex derived from proline towards Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction in water at room temperature

Palladium(II)-N-heterocyclic carbene complex 1 derived from proline has been proved to be a highly effective catalyst in the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction of aryl iodides and bromides with arylboronic acids in water at room temperature. The reactions are tolerant towards various functional groups in the substrates. Moreover, the complex 1-catalyzed medium-scale (10.0 mmol) Suzuki-Miyaura reactions were also carried out and it was found that the complex was also effective enough in these cases.     

Bis-diimidazolylidine complexes of nickel: investigations into nickel catalyzed coupling reactions

Air and moisture stable homoleptic bis(diimidazolylidine)nickel(II) complexes, ([(diNHC)(2)Ni](2+)) 3a,b and their corresponding silver(I) 4a,b and palladium(II) 5a,b complexes were synthesized and characterized by NMR and single crystal X-ray analysis. The catalytic potential of complex 3a was assessed in Mizoroki-Heck and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions. In the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction, nickel precatalyst 3a was active for the coupling of aryl chlorides as well as aryl fluorides. The analogously synthesized Pd(II) complexes resulted in formation of (diNHC)PdCl(2) species which were not active for the coupling of aryl fluorides. For the Mizoroki-Heck reaction, it was found that aryl iodides could be activated in the absence of nickel or palladium precatalysts when using Na(2)CO(3) or NEt(3) as base while aryl iodides and aryl bromides could be activated in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction sans precatalyst when K(3)PO(4) was used as base.     

Modified (NHC)Pd(allyl)Cl (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) complexes for room-temperature Suzuki-Miyaura and Buchwald-Hartwig reactions

A series of (NHC)Pd(R-allyl)Cl complexes [NHC: IPr = N,N'-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene, SIPr = N,N'-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene; R = H, Me, gem-Me2, Ph] have been synthesized and fully characterized. When compared to (NHC)Pd(allyl)Cl, substitution at the terminal position of the allyl scaffold favors a more facile activation step. This translates into higher catalytic activity in the Suzuki-Miyaura and Buchwald-Hartwig reactions, allowing for the coupling of unactivated aryl chlorides at room temperature in minutes. In the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, aryl triflates, bromides, and chlorides react with boronic acids using very low catalyst loading. In the N-aryl amination reaction, a wide range of substrates has been coupled efficiently; primary-, secondary-, alkyl-, or aryl-amines react in high yields with unactivated, neutral, and activated aryl chlorides and bromides. In both reactions, extremely hindered substrates such as tri-ortho-substituted biaryls and tetra-ortho-substituted diarylamines can be produced without loss of activity. Finally, the present catalytic system has proven to be efficient with as low as 10 parts-per-million (ppm) of precatalyst in the Buchwald-Hartwig reaction and 50 ppm in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction.     

钯纳米颗粒负载在聚苯胺材料上制得催化Suzuki-Miyaura偶联反应的高效催化剂

在最近的几十年里,金属钯催化的Suzuki-Miyaura偶联反应已经得到了越来越多的关注,被广泛应用于药物、天然产物以及新材料的合成.与此同时均相催化剂发展迅速,高效的配体和大量的设计被用于Suzuki-Miyaura偶联反应中,但是钯催化剂的配体通常很昂贵和难以合成,因此钯催化剂系统的回收是非常有价值的,不仅是经济上的原因,同时也避免了产品的污染,所以发展非均相催化剂是必要的.近年来,研究学者们致力于设计非均相的钯催化剂,如将钯纳米颗粒负载到金属有机骨架、介孔分子筛以及活性炭等多种材料上得到的非均相钯催化剂并应用于Suzuki-Miyaura偶联反应中.我们主要介绍了钯纳米颗粒被负载在含磷配体的交联的聚苯胺材料上制得负载的钯催化剂,首先通过钯催化的三(4-碘苯基)胺与金刚烷基膦的C–P偶联,再由钯催化三(4-碘苯基)胺与对苯二胺的C–N偶联,进而得到钯纳米颗粒负载在含金刚烷基膦的聚苯胺材料上的催化剂Pd@PAN-Ad-0.5(钯含量为0.58 wt%),同时我们对催化剂进行了一些表征,如TEM,SEM,XRD,EDX,XPS,FT-IR,ICP等.通过TEM分析,我们发现钯纳米颗粒在聚合物表面分布均匀,并且金属钯的平均粒径为2–3 nm;EDX检测显示催化剂含有C,N,P,Pd,I元素,说明钯负载到含金刚烷基膦的聚苯胺材料上的催化剂Pd@PAN-Ad-0.5已经形成,并被用于Suzuki-Miyaura偶联反应.我们对反应体系中的各种影响因素进行了优化,包括溶剂、碱、反应时间、催化剂加入量以及不同的催化剂的优化,最终确定了最佳反应条件;对于带有不同取代基(如腈基、甲氧基、醛基、酮基以及硝基)的氯代芳烃和溴代芳烃与苯硼酸的Suzuki-Miyaura反应,以较少的催化剂使用量(0.075 mol%Pd)就能获得较高的相应的联苯产物收率.此外,催化剂Pd@PAN-Ad-0.5在偶联反应中具有较高的反应活性的同时,还具有较好的回收使用能力(至少能够回收使用5次),循环使用4次以后还具有较高的催化活性.为了探索催化剂Pd@PAN-Ad-0.5在工业上的应用,由于4'-氯-2-硝基-1,1'-联苯是合成啶酰菌胺药物的重要中间体,因此我们使用催化剂Pd@PAN-Ad-0.5催化2-硝基氯苯与4-氯苯硼酸的偶联反应,目标产物4'-氯-2-硝基-1,1'-联苯的收率高达96%.我们相信这类催化剂应用于实验室或工业上合成联苯化学品具有较大的潜力.     

Highly active oxime-derived palladacycle complexes for Suzuki-Miyaura and Ullmann-type coupling reactions

Oxime-derived chloro-bridged palladacycles 12 and 13 are efficient complexes for the Suzuki-Miyaura reactions of aryl-, allyl-, and benzyl halides with arylboronic acids. The isolated catalysts are thermally stable, not sensitive to air or moisture, and easily accessible from inexpensive starting materials. The reaction can be performed under aerobic conditions with aryl bromides and chlorides, displaying turnover numbers (TON) of up to 5 x 10(5) and turnover frequencies (TOF) of up to 198 000 h(-1) for aryl bromides. Aryl chlorides undergo the Suzuki reaction with arylboronic acids with TON of up to 4700 and TOF up to 4700 h(-1). Even inexpensive and readily available benzyl and allyl chlorides undergo the coupling reaction with good turnover numbers. Complexes of 12 catalyze the syntheses of symmetrical biaryls in good yields via reductive coupling of iodoarenes in the presence of Hünig's base.     

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of B-benzyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane to furnish methylene-linked biaryls

[reaction: see text] Benzylboranes are noticeably uncommon partners within Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions. B-Benzyl-9-BBN was successfully coupled to a range of aryl/heteroaryl bromides, chlorides, and triflates to give pharmacologically important methylene-linked biaryl structures. Activated, deactivated, and sterically hindered substrates were successfully coupled in high yield using Pd(PPh(3))(4) or Pd(OAc)(2) with SPhos as the catalyst system.     

Palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of potassium aryl- and heteroaryltrifluoroborates

An extended study of the reactivity of potassium aryl- and heteroaryltrifluoroborates in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions is presented. The coupling of aryl- and electron-rich heteroaryltrifluoroborates with aryl and activated heteroaryl bromides proceeds readily under ligandless conditions. When deactivated aryl- and heteroaryltrifluoroborates are coupled with aryl and heteroaryl bromides and chlorides, a low loading (0.5-2%) of PdCl(2)(dppf).CH(2)Cl(2) efficiently catalyzes the reactions. Under either condition, reactions can generally be carried out in an open atmosphere.     

Palladium(0)-catalyzed suzuki-miyaura cross-coupling reactions of potassium aryl- and heteroaryltrifluoroborates with alkenyl bromides

Efficient palladium(0)-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings are described. The reactions involving potassium aryl- and heteroaryltrifluoroborates with alkenyl bromides can generally be carried out using < or =2 mol % of palladium catalyst and 3 equiv of base in toluene/H2O. When stereodefined alkenyl bromides are employed, the resulting styrene derivatives are accessed stereospecifically. A variety of functional groups are tolerated in both coupling partners.

Primary and secondary alkyl bromides undergo the reaction to give the coupling products in good yields. Application to the synthesis of long-chain fatty acid derivatives is also described.     

Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of potassium trifluoroboratohomoenolates

Ketone-, ester-, and amide-containing potassium trifluoroboratohomoenolates were prepared in good to excellent yields from the corresponding unsaturated carbonyl compounds. They were shown to be effective coupling partners in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction with a variety of electrophiles including electron-rich and electron-poor aryl bromides and -chlorides.     

Heterogeneous Pd/C-catalyzed ligand-free, room-temperature Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions in aqueous media

A mild and efficient ligand-free Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction catalyzed by heterogeneous Pd/C was developed. Aryl bromides and triflates undergo the cross-coupling with aryl boronic acids in excellent yields without the presence of any additives in aqueous media at room temperature. Aryl vinyl boronic acids are also applicable to this coupling reaction and provide the trans-stilbene derivatives in high yields. The application of wet-type Pd/C to the coupling reaction was achieved without any loss of activity under aerobic conditions, and the reuse of Pd/C is feasible for a fifth run without significant loss of activity. Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) mass-spectrometric analysis of the filtrate from the reaction mixture of 4-bromonitrobenzene with phenylboronic acid demonstrated that the palladium metal hardly leached into the solution within the limits of the detector (<1 ppm), thus suggesting that the present Suzuki-Miyaura reaction proceeded by heterogeneous catalysis.     

Highly efficient copper(0)-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions in reusable PEG-400

Readily available copper powder with K₂CO₃ as the base was extremely effective catalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction performed in PEG-400, which afforded almost quantitative coupling products of aryl iodides. Using iodine as additive, coupling products of aryl bromides or chlorides could be obtained with moderate to good yields.     

Expanding the scope of the Cu assisted Suzuki-Miyaura reaction

Recent advances in the development of the copper facilitated Suzuki-Miyaura reaction are described. Improvements include expansion of substrate scope to include aryl chlorides and polyhalo aryl boronates. It was found that use of S-Phos and X-Phos could accomplish the coupling of 2-pyridyl boronates to aryl chlorides and bromides in shorter reaction times and in higher yield than previously described with DPPF.     

Palladium on carbon-catalyzed solvent-free and solid-phase hydrogenation and Suzuki-Miyaura reaction

The solvent-free and solid-phase hydrogenation of various reducible functionalities was efficiently catalyzed by heterogeneous palladium on carbon (Pd/C) under ambient hydrogen pressure and temperature. The Pd/C-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction between solid aryl bromides and solid arylboronic acids to generate the corresponding solid biaryls was also achieved under the totally solid-phase conditions.     

Carboranyl phosphites: the electronic effect in the Suzuki- Miyaura reaction

Isomeric carborane-containing phosphite ligands possessing different electronic properties have been synthesized. Their use in the Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reaction involving activated aryl bromides showed that phosphite with 9-o-carborane substituent has proved more efficient, with carboranyl phosphite having 1-m- carborane fragment being more efficient in the reactions with nonactivated aryl bromides.     

Suzuki-Miyaura reaction in water,catalyzed by palladium nanoparticles stabilized by Pluronic F68 triblock copolymer

Palladium nanoparticles stabilized by Pluronic F68 triblock copolymer effectively catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reaction in water. The reactions with water-soluble aryl iodides and aryl bromides containing electron-withdrawing or electron-donating substituent occurred at room temperature. The catalytic efficiency was found to depend on the size of palladium nanoparticles and their morphology.     

Replacing conventional carbon nucleophiles with electrophiles: nickel-catalyzed reductive alkylation of aryl bromides and chlorides

A general method is presented for the synthesis of alkylated arenes by the chemoselective combination of two electrophilic carbons. Under the optimized conditions, a variety of aryl and vinyl bromides are reductively coupled with alkyl bromides in high yields. Under similar conditions, activated aryl chlorides can also be coupled with bromoalkanes. The protocols are highly functional-group tolerant (-OH, -NHTs, -OAc, -OTs, -OTf, -COMe, -NHBoc, -NHCbz, -CN, -SO(2)Me), and the reactions are assembled on the benchtop with no special precautions to exclude air or moisture. The reaction displays different chemoselectivity than conventional cross-coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki-Miyaura, Stille, and Hiyama-Denmark reactions. Substrates bearing both an electrophilic and nucleophilic carbon result in selective coupling at the electrophilic carbon (R-X) and no reaction at the nucleophilic carbon (R-[M]) for organoboron (-Bpin), organotin (-SnMe(3)), and organosilicon (-SiMe(2)OH) containing organic halides (X-R-[M]). A Hammett study showed a linear correlation of σ and σ(-) parameters with the relative rate of reaction of substituted aryl bromides with bromoalkanes. The small ρ values for these correlations (1.2-1.7) indicate that oxidative addition of the bromoarene is not the turnover-frequency determining step. The rate of reaction has a positive dependence on the concentration of alkyl bromide and catalyst, no dependence upon the amount of zinc (reducing agent), and an inverse dependence upon aryl halide concentration. These results and studies with an organic reductant (TDAE) argue against the intermediacy of organozinc reagents.     

d-Glucosamine based-phosphine for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions in the supported aqueous phase catalysis system

A d-glucosamine-based phosphine/Pd(OAc)₂ complex has been applied to the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction of aryl bromides with arylboronic acids using the supported aqueous phase catalysis, SAPC, concept. The recyclability of the catalyst was investigated and revealed a very high activity during the 4 runs.     

Cross-coupling and dehalogenation reactions catalyzed by (N-heterocyclic carbene)Pd(allyl)Cl complexes

A series of well-defined, air- and moisture-stable (NHC)Pd(allyl)Cl (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) complexes has been used in several catalytic reactions: Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling, catalytic dehalogenation of aryl halides, and aryl amination. The scope of the three processes using various substrates was examined. A general system involving the use of (IPr)Pd(allyl)Cl as catalyst and NaO(t)Bu as base has proven to be highly active for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of activated and unactivated aryl chlorides and bromides, for the catalytic dehalogenation of aryl chlorides, and for the catalytic aryl amination of aryl triflates. All reactions proceed in short reaction times and at mild temperatures. The system has also proven to be compatible with the microwave-assisted Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling and catalytic dehalogenation processes, affording yields similar to those of the conventionally heated analogous reactions.
