Direct coupling of benzene with olefin catalyzed by Pd(OAc)(2) combined with heteropolyoxometalate under dioxygen

The oxidative coupling reaction of benzenes with alkenes was successfully achieved by the Pd(OAc)(2)/molybdovanadophosphoric acid (HPMoV)/O(2) system. For example, the reaction of benzene with ethyl acrylate by the above catalytic system in acetic acid afforded ethyl cinnamate as a major product in satisfactory yield.     

Mechanistic studies of Wacker-type intramolecular aerobic oxidative amination of alkenes catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2/pyridine

Wacker-type oxidative cyclization reactions have been the subject of extensive research for several decades, but few systematic mechanistic studies of these reactions have been reported. The present study features experimental and DFT computational studies of Pd(OAc)(2)/pyridine-catalyzed intramolecular aerobic oxidative amination of alkenes. The data support a stepwise catalytic mechanism that consists of (1) steady-state formation of a Pd(II)-amidate-alkene chelate with release of 1 equiv of pyridine and AcOH from the catalyst center, (2) alkene insertion into a Pd-N bond, (3) reversible β-hydride elimination, (4) irreversible reductive elimination of AcOH, and (5) aerobic oxidation of palladium(0) to regenerate the active trans-Pd(OAc)(2)(py)(2) catalyst. Evidence is obtained for two energetically viable pathways for the key C-N bond-forming step, featuring a pyridine-ligated and a pyridine-dissociated Pd(II) species. Analysis of natural charges and bond lengths of the alkene-insertion transition state suggest that this reaction is best described as an intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the amidate ligand on the coordinated alkene.     

Oxidative carbomethoxylation of alkenes using a Pd(II)/molybdovanadophosphate (NPMoV) system under carbon monoxide and air

Oxidative carbomethoxylation of cyclopentene (1) under carbon monoxide and air by the use of a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)(2) and molybdovanadophosphate (NPMoV) led to dimethyl cis-1,2-cyclopentanedicarboxylate (2) and dimethyl cis-1,3-cyclopentanedicarboxylate (3) in good yields. Total yields of 2 and 3 were found to be improved by adding a small amount of NH(4)Cl. Several alkenes were similarly converted into the corresponding dimethyl dicarboxylates. The role of Cl(-) in the present catalytic system is suggested.

The tetrakis(4‐N‐methylpyridinium)porphyrinatopalladium(II) iodide, [Pd(TMPyP)]I₄, supported on Dowex 50WX8 and Amberlite IR‐120 ion‐exchange resins, was used as heterogeneous, recyclable and active catalyst for the Suzuki–Miyaura and Heck cross‐coupling reactions. These catalysts were applied to coupling of various aryl halides with phenylboronic acid and styrene in Suzuki and Heck reactions, respectively, and the corresponding products were obtained in excellent yields and short reaction times. The catalysts could be recovered easily by simple filtration and reused several times without significant loss of their catalytic activity. The catalysts were characterized by diffuse‐reflectance UV–visible spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, and their stability was confirmed by TGA.
