A highly efficient memantine-modified palladium catalyst for Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction

A new simple Pd(memantine)₂Cl₂ complex was synthesized and characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and X-ray single crystal structure determination. The Suzuki–Miyaura reaction of aryl bromides catalyzed by Pd(memantine)₂Cl₂ complex was investigated in air with different temperature. The high turnover numbers of 650,000 have been obtained in the reaction of 4-bromonitrobenzene with phenylboronic acid at 80 °C. At room temperature, the complex also showed high activity for Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of aryl bromides with a wide range of functional groups under air, and the turnover number of up to 99,000 was achieved. The catalytic system also gives good yields toward the reaction of several heteroaryl bromides with thiophenylboronic acid.     

Carbohydrate-based phosphines as supporting ligand for palladium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction

Carbohydrate-based mono-phosphines (1 and 2) derived from glucose have been explored as supporting ligand for palladium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura reaction. The combination of phosphine to palladium in a ratio of 2:1 resulted in a longer-living system than that in a ratio of 1:1. Using K₂CO₃ as base, aryl bromides as well as active aryl chlorides can be coupled nearly quantitatively by 0.1–0.2 mol % of 1/Pd(OAc)₂ with 95–99% of isolated yields. The amount of the catalyst could be lowered to 0.01 mol % under the optimized condition with 80% yield at room temperature. The carbohydrate hydroxyl group in 1 was found to contribute to catalytic activity.     

Advanced heterogeneous Pd catalysts for the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction with aryl bromides

The set of heterogeneous Pd catalysts containing different forms of Pd (PdCl₄^2– or Pd⁰) was prepared by chemical modification and laser electrodispersion using two types of ₊ supports, namely, SiO₂ modified by ionic liquid and γ-Al₂O₃. Testing of the synthesized catalysts in the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction with aryl bromides pointed out the possibility to achieve the prominent TOF and TON values. The dependencies of TOF on the catalyst loading indicate that only a fraction of loaded Pd was involved in the catalysis.     

Pd-PEPPSI complexes based on 1,2,4-triazol-3-ylidene ligands as efficient catalysts in the Suzuki—Miyaura reaction

The palladium complexes of the Pd-PEPPSI type with N-heterocyclic carbenes of the 1,2,4-triazole series were synthesized in 76—99% yields by the reactions of PdCl₂ with 1,4-di- alkyl-1,2,4-triazolium salts in pyridine in the presence of KBr or KI as sources of halide ions and tetrabutylammonium salts as phase-transfer catalysts. The obtained complexes can be used as efficient catalysts for the Suzuki—Miyaura cross-coupling and are not inferior to the commercially available Pd-PEPPSI catalysts in activity.

O-Aryloxime ether analogues L1–L3 were studied as ligands in palladium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of aryl bromides and aryl boronic acids in water at room temperature. Reaction conditions for the cross-coupling were optimized using PdCl₂ and Pd(OAc)₂ under aerobic condition. From the three electronically diverse O-aryloxime ether ligands studied herein, the use of 1-phenyl-ethanone O-(4-chloro-phenyl)-oximeL2 exhibits the best catalytic system in the presence of K₂CO₃ as the base and TBAB as the promoter.

A mono-substituted calix[4]arene was prepared through conventional procedures, following with the attachment of imidazolyl derivative groups to compose the precursors of novel NHCs ligands. Undergoing the alkylation with n-butylbromide and corresponding metallation with palladium and pyridine, original complexes were obtained. After a full characterization in solution and solid state, the evaluation of catalytic activity was taken out in Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, which revealed good performances.

Optimal reaction conditions providing maximum conversion (100%) of the initial compounds are established.     

Preparing Pd catalysts based on urea ligand via electrospinning for Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions

Pd-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling (SMC) reactions are important in chemistry. In this work, using electrospinning technology, we prepared a novel type of composite catalyst with ligand structures such as urea-Pd/PAN (polyacrylonitrile) and used them to catalyze SMC reactions in nontoxic systems and “green” conditions (air atmosphere, low temperature, and short reaction time). This method of preparing hybrid materials is simple and easy to operate. The higher catalytic activity of the catalysts is attributed to active centers with rich electrons transferred from ligands with unique structures, which can decrease the activation energy of the rate-determining step (oxidative addition). In addition, urea-Pd/PAN composite catalysts exhibit higher catalytic performance than those reduced by H₂ because of the smaller size of active species and the more-efficient oxidative addition to Pd⁰–ligand complexes compared to Pd⁰.

Under appropriate conditions, all reactions gave the desired products in moderate to excellent yields. The ligand is inexpensive, air-stable and easy to available.     

Biogenous iron oxide-immobilized palladium catalyst for the solvent-free Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction

Iron oxide produced by iron-oxidizing bacteria, Leptothrix ochracea, (biogenous iron oxide: BIO) was used as a support for immobilized palladium catalysts with organic cross-linkers. Palladium immobilized on BIO bearing imidazolium chloride delivered the desired biaryl products in sufficient yields in the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions under solvent-free conditions and could be reused several times without significant loss of catalytic activity. It is shown that BIO can be exploited as a useful support for immobilization of palladium and the BIO-immobilized palladium catalyst effectively promotes the solvent-free Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions.     

Thiophene-based macrocycles via the Suzuki–Miyaura cross coupling reaction

Suzuki–Miyaura cross coupling reaction was used for access to new macrocycles exhibiting oligoethyleneoxide bridges and embedding bithiophene, terthiophene or 3,7-bis(thiophen-2-yl)-N-ethyl-10H-phenothiazine units. The synthesis was performed under various reaction conditions and different coupling types in order to establish the correlation between yields and employed solvents and bases.

Novel and efficient bridged bis(N-heterocyclic carbene)palladium(II) catalysts for selective carbonylative Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions to biaryl ketones and biaryl diketones

Bridged N,N′-substituted bisbenzimidazolium bromide salts (L1, L2, and L3) were synthesized and fully characterized. Reactions of palladium acetate with L1, L2, and L3 afforded corresponding new bridged bis(N-heterocyclic carbene)palladium(II) complexes (C1, C2, and C3) in high yields. The X-ray structure of complex C1 showed that the Pd(II) ion is bonded to the two carbon atoms of the bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) and two bromido ligands are in the cis position, resulting in a distorted square planar geometry. The three Pd(NHC)₂Br₂ complexes C1, C2, and C3 were evaluated in carbonylative Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions of aryl boronic acids with aryl halides and displayed high catalytic activity with low catalyst loading. The coupling reactions of aryl bromides were selective towards the carbonylation product at higher carbon monoxide pressure.

Xylan-type hemicelluloses supported terpyridine–palladium(II) as a novel biomass-supported catalyst was synthesized and characterized in terms of morphology, composition, and thermal stability. The nano-Pd catalyst was further explored for Suzuki–Miyaura reaction between arylboronic acid and aryl halide under aerobic condition, with a yield up to 98 %. In particular, the catalyst exhibited both high catalytic activity and stability for Suzuki–Miyaura reaction. Furthermore, the catalyst could be easily recovered by simple filtration and reused at least six times without significant loss of its catalytic activity. This work provides a novel and effective supported catalyst, and broadens the applications of polysaccharides in green catalysis.     

Nickel and palladium nanocomposite carbon aerogels as recyclable catalysts for Suzuki–Miyaura reaction under aerobic and phosphine-free conditions in water

Recyclable and readily prepared Ni and Pd nanocomposite carbon aerogels have been successfully used in the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction in water medium and aerobic conditions. In these ligand-free and environmentally-friendly conditions the Ni–carbon aerogel shows better recyclability than the corresponding palladium material. No appreciable leaching of Nickel could be detected after six reaction cycles. Interestingly enough, we have demonstrated for the first time that metal embedded carbon aerogels can be also used in water medium.

Abstract  

We have used the sterically hindered N,O-donor ligand 1,4-bis(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butyl-benzyl)-imidazolidine with various Pd salts as a catalyst for the Suzuki reaction. This system exhibited excellent catalytic activity in Suzuki reactions of arylboronic acids with aryl halides, including aryl iodides, aryl bromides and activated aryl chlorides, using aqueous methanol as solvent under mild conditions. The catalytic system can be reused once without significant loss of activity.
