Carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen coupling reactions catalyzed by palladium nanoparticles derived from a palladium substituted Keggin-type polyoxometalate

Palladium 15-20 nm particles stabilized by a Keggin-type polyoxometalate were prepared by reduction of K(5)PPdW(11)O(39) with H(2). The nanoparticles were shown to be effective catalysts for Suzuki-, Heck-, and Stille-type carbon-carbon coupling and carbon-nitrogen coupling reactions of bromoarenes in aqueous media. Chloroarenes were also reactive in reaction media without solvent. [reaction: see text]

Asymmetric catalysis of ene reactions with trifluoropyruvate catalyzed by dicationic palladium(II) complexes

Chiral dicationic SEGPHOS-Pd(II) complex achieves a high chemical yield, (E)-olefin selectivity, anti-diastereoselectivity, along with high enantioselectivity even with less reactive mono- and 1,2-disubstituted olefins in this much less reactive ketone-ene reactions. The high levels of enantioselectivity stem from the effective shielding with diphenyl groups on phosphines caused by the narrow dihedral angle of metal complexes with SEGPHOS.     

纳米钯催化苄基氯代物与烯丙基硼酸频哪醇酯的羧化Suzuki偶联反应

CO2是廉价的C1源,同时具有无毒、储量丰富的优点, 符合绿色化学发展要求. 利用 CO2构筑新的 C–C 键是化学固定CO2的重要方法. Β,γ-不饱和酯类结构单元是许多生物活性分子的重要组成部分, 经由双π-烯丙基钯中间体与 CO2反应, 合成新的β,γ-不饱和酯类化合物, 具有重要意义. CO2与有机硼化合物的羧化反应已有报道, 有机硼化合物具有低毒、对水不敏感等优点. 但是已报道的羧化 Suzuki 偶联反应存在诸多缺点: (1) 需要使用含膦或者氮杂环卡宾配体的催化剂, 而这些催化剂的制备过程使前期实验步骤变得冗长, 同时反应液的酸化后处理过程也会造成环境污染; (2) 有机硼试剂的官能团兼容范围窄, 限制了底物范围的拓展. 本课题组以原位生成的纳米钯粒子为催化剂, 在 CO2存在的温和条件下, 高效实现了苄氯与烯丙基硼酸频哪醇酯的羧化 Suzuki 偶联反应. 反应过程中无其它配体加入, 反应结束后不需要酸化或酯化的后处理过程. 该反应将具有广泛的官能团兼容性.本文以 TBAB 稳定的纳米钯粒子为催化剂, 在温和条件下, 实现了氯甲基芳香化合物、烯丙基硼酸频哪醇酯和 CO2的三组分羧化 Suzuki 偶联反应. 最佳反应条件为: Pd(acac)2(5 mol%)、TBAB (0.7 mmol, 1.4 equiv.)、KF (1 mmol, 2.0 equiv.)、苄基卤代物 (0.5 mmol)、烯丙基硼酸频哪醇酯 (0.6 mmol, 1.2 equiv.)、CO2(2.0 Mpa)、溶剂 THF (5 mL), 50 oC 反应 24 h. 在最佳反应条件下, 苯环、萘环以及杂芳环的氯甲基化合物均可发生该羧化反应. 苯环上取代基的位置对产物的收率有影响. 当使用 1-溴甲基萘作为底物时反应也能够发生, 收率与 1-氯甲基萘作为底物时的收率相当. 与已报道有机硼试剂的羧化反应相比, 该反应体系无需加入配体, 原位生成了纳米钯粒子, 避免了催化剂或者配体的复杂制备过程. 该反应中, 氟离子的存在是必要的, 对烯丙基硼酸频哪醇酯具有活化作用.     

Synthesis of pyrazine-bridged diimidazolium salts and their application in palladium catalyzed Heck-type coupling reactions

Reaction of imidazole derivatives with 2,3-di(bromomethyl)pyrazine results in the formation of the new pyrazine-bridged diimidazolium salts 1-8. These salts proved to be valuable precursors for dinuclear complexes with mixed NHC/pyrazine ligands. Two of the pyrazine-bridged diimidazolium salts 3·H₂O and 8·2H₂O have been characterized by X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, the first catalytic studies with mixtures of palladium acetate and the imidazolium salts have been carried out. The in situ prepared palladium complexes derived from the diimidazolium salts 1-8 exhibit a modest catalytic activity in Heck-type coupling reactions between 4-bromo benzaldehyde and styrene or n-butyl acrylate.     

Porous polymer supported palladium catalyst for cross coupling reactions with high activity and recyclability

Porous polymer supported palladium catalyst for cross coupling reactions with high activity has been successfully prepared by coordination of Pd 2+ species with Schiff bases functionalized porous polymer. The catalyst has been systemically investi-gated by a series of characterizations such as TEM, N 2 adsorption, NMR, IR, XPS, etc. TEM and N 2 isotherms show that the sample maintains the nanoporous structure after the modification and coordination. XPS results show that chemical state of palladium species in the catalyst is mainly +2. More importantly, the catalyst shows very high activities and excellent recycla-bility in a series of coupling reactions including Suzuki, Sonogashira, and Heck reactions. Hot filtration and poison of catalysts experiments have also been performed and the results indicate that soluble active species (mainly Pd(0) species) in-situ gener-ated from the catalyst under the reaction conditions are the active intermediates, which would redeposit to the supporter after the reactions.

Nano ceria catalyzed Ullmann type coupling reactions

Ullmann type intermolecular coupling of aryl halide with hetero-aromatic compounds, such as phenols, amines, and thiophenols are key reactions for the formation of carbon-heteroatom bond in organic synthesis. We report a robust and novel method that provides an efficient and economic route for the synthesis of O, N, and S-arylation via Ullman coupling by using nano cerium oxide (ceria, CeO₂). CeO₂ is a cheaper catalyst compared to related copper based catalysts. This method provides a wide range of substrate applicability in the case of phenols and amines. Less reactive chlorobenzene substituted with strong electron withdrawing groups such as 4-nitrochlorobenzene and 4-cyanochlorobenzene favor the reaction. This protocol avoids the use of ligand and gives arylated product in satisfactory yields.

Aryl palladium carbene complexes and carbene-aryl coupling reactions

Transmetalation of an aminocarbene moiety from [W(CO)5{C(NEt2)R}] to palladium leads to isolable monoaminocarbene palladium aryl complexes [{Pd(mu-Br)Pf[C(NEt2)R]}2] (R = Me, Ph; Pf = C6F5). When [W(CO)5{C(OMe)R}] is used, the corresponding palladium carbenes cannot be isolated since these putative, more electrophilic carbenes undergo a fast migratory insertion process to give alkyl palladium complexes. These complexes could be stabilized in the eta3-allylic form for R = 2-phenylethenyl or in the less stable eta3-benzylic fashion for R = Ph. Hydrolysis products and a pentafluorophenylvinylic methyl ether (when R = Me) were also observed. The monoaminocarbenes slowly decompose through carbene-aryl coupling to produce the corresponding iminium salts and, depending on the reaction conditions, the corresponding hydrolysis products. The electrophilicity of the carbene carbon, which is mainly determined by the nature of the heteroatom group, controls the ease of evolution by carbene-aryl coupling. Accordingly, no carbene-aryl coupling was observed for a diaminocarbene palladium aryl complex.
