Tandem Chemoselective Suzuki–Miyaura Cross‐Coupling Enabled by Nucleophile Speciation Control

Control of boronic acid speciation is presented as a strategy to achieve nucleophile chemoselectivity in the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction. Combined with simultaneous control of oxidative addition and transmetalation, this enables chemoselective formation of two C? C bonds in a single operation, providing a method for the rapid preparation of highly functionalized carbogenic frameworks.     

Speciation Control During Suzuki–Miyaura Cross‐Coupling of Haloaryl and Haloalkenyl MIDA Boronic Esters

Boronic acid solution speciation can be controlled during the Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling of haloaryl N‐methyliminodiacetic acid (MIDA) boronic esters to enable the formal homologation of boronic acid derivatives. The reaction is contingent upon control of the basic biphase and is thermodynamically driven: temperature control provides highly chemoselective access to either BMIDA adducts at room temperature or boronic acid pinacol ester (BPin) products at elevated temperature. Control experiments and solubility analyses have provided some insight into the mechanistic operation of the formal homologation process.     

Click Ionic Liquids: A Family of Promising Tunable Solvents and Application in Suzuki–Miyaura Cross‐Coupling

A series of click ionic salts 4 a – 4 n was prepared through click reaction of organic azides with alkyne‐functionalized imidazolium or 2‐methylimidazolium salts, followed by metathesis with lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide or potassium hexafluorophosphate. All salts were characterized by IR, NMR, TGA, and DSC, and most of them can be classified as ionic liquids. Their steric and electronic properties can be easily tuned and modified through variation of the aromatic or aliphatic substituents at the imidazolium and/or triazolyl rings. The effect of anions and substituents at the two rings on the physicochemical properties was investigated. The charge and orbital distributions based on the optimized structures of cations in the salts were calculated. Reaction of 4 a with PdCl₂ produced mononuclear click complex 4 a‐Pd , the structure of which was confirmed by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling shows good catalytic stability and high recyclability in the presence of PdCl₂ in 4 a . TEM and XPS analyses show formation of palladium nanoparticles after the reaction. The palladium NPs in 4 a are immobilized by the synergetic effect of coordination and electrostatic interactions with 1,2,3‐triazolyl and imidazolium, respectively.     

Asymmetric Suzuki–Miyaura Cross‐Coupling for the Synthesis of Chiral Biaryl Compounds as Potential Monophosphine Ligands

Efficient asymmetric Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions have been employed for the first time to synthesize chiral biaryl compounds with phosphinate groups as chiral auxiliaries. A series of functionalized chiral biaryls are thereby synthesized in excellent yields and good diastereoselectivities (up to >95:5 d.r.) and axially chiral monophosphorus ligands are obtained through further functionalizations.     

Cavity‐Shaped Ligands: Calix[4]arene‐Based Monophosphanes for Fast Suzuki–Miyaura Cross‐Coupling

Five conical calix[4]arenes that have a PPh₂ group as the sole functional group anchored at their upper rim were assessed in palladium‐catalysed cross‐coupling reactions of phenylboronic acid with aryl halides (dioxane, 100 °C, NaH). With arylbromides, remarkably high activities were obtained with the catalytic systems remaining stable for several days. The performance of the ligands is comparable to a Buchwald‐type triarylphosphane, namely, (2′‐methyl[1,1′‐biphenyl]‐2‐yl)diphenylphosphane, which in contrast to the calixarenyl phosphanes tested may display chelating behaviour in solution. With the fastest ligand, 5‐diphenylphosphanyl‐25,26,27,28‐tetra(p‐methoxy)benzyloxy‐calix[4]arene ( 8 ), the reaction turnover frequency for the arylation of 4‐bromotoluene was 321 000 versus 214 000 mol(ArBr).mol(Pd)^?1. h^?1 for the reference ligand. The calixarene ligands were also efficient in Suzuki cross‐coupling reactions with aryl chlorides. Thus, by using 1 mol % of [Pd(OAc)₂] associated with one of the phosphanes, full conversion of the deactivated arenes 4‐chloroanisole and 4‐chlorotoluene was observed after 16 h. The high performance of the calixarenyl–phosphanes in Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of aryl bromides possibly relies on their ability to stabilise a monoligand [Pd⁰L(ArBr)] species through supramolecular binding of the Pd‐bound arene inside the calixarene cavity.     

Palladium supported on silica–chitosan hybrid material (Pd‐CS@SiO2) for Suzuki–Miyaura and Mizoroki–Heck cross‐coupling reactions

Palladium supported on silica–chitosan hybrid material was prepared and characterized using thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric analyses, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared, energy‐dispersive X‐ray and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopies. The prepared Pd‐CS@SiO₂ catalyst (1 mol%) was used for the Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction of various aryl halides and arylboronic acids in 95% ethanol at 80 °C and the Mizoroki–Heck reaction in dimethylformamide at 110 °C using K₂CO₃ as a base. The developed catalyst is well suitable for the 3R approach (recoverable, robust, recyclable) for cross‐coupling reactions without appreciable loss of its activity.

Reaction Optimization,Scalability, and Mechanistic Insight on the Catalytic Enantioselective Desymmetrization of 1,1‐Diborylalkanes via Suzuki–Miyaura Cross‐Coupling

A method for enantioselective desymmetrization of 1,1‐diborylalkanes through a stereoselective Pd‐catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling has been thoroughly optimized. The most effective ligand was found to be a α,α,α,α‐tetra‐aryl‐1,3‐dioxolane‐4,5‐dimethanol (TADDOL)‐derived phosphoramidite. Results show that in order to achieve high selectivity, a suitable balance between the sterics of the aryl groups and the amino group on the ligand must be achieved. While the base has been known to facilitate transmetallation in cross‐coupling reactions, mechanistic studies on this desymmetrization process reveal that the base, in the presence of KHF₂, likely plays an additional role in the hydrolysis of the pinacol boronates to the corresponding boronic acids. Through an in depth optimization of the chiral ligand and mechanistic studies, it was possible to obtain ee values over 90 % for several aryl bromides and to develop a reliably scalable process (up to one gram of 1,1‐diborylalkane substrate).     

Palladium Membrane‐Installed Microchannel Devices for Instantaneous Suzuki–Miyaura Cross‐Coupling

Instantaneous catalytic carbon–carbon bond‐forming reactions were achieved in catalytic membrane‐installed microchannel devices that have a polymeric palladium‐complex membrane. The catalytic membrane‐installed microchannel devices were provided inside the microchannels by means of coordinative and ionic molecular convolution at the interface between the organic and aqueous phases flowing laminarly, in which both non‐crosslinked linear polymer ligands and palladium species dissolved. The palladium‐catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura reaction of aryl, heteroaryl, and alkenyl halides with arylboronic acids and sodium tetraarylborates was performed with the catalytic membrane‐installed microchannel devices to give quantitative yields of biaryls, heterobiaryls, and aryl alkenes within 5 s of residence time in the defined channel region. These microchannel devices were applied to the instantaneous allylic arylation reaction of allylic esters with arylboron reagents under microflow conditions to afford the corresponding coupling products within 1 s of residence time.     

Palladium‐Catalyzed Suzuki‐Miyaura Type Coupling Reaction of Aryl Halides with Triphenylborane‐Pyridine

The Suzuki‐Miyaura type coupling reaction of aryl halides with triphenylborane‐pyridine was described. The reaction can be catalyzed by Pd(OAc)₂ (5 mol%) in presence of Cs₂CO₃ at 50°C or 80°C, and functionalized biaryls were obtained in good to excellent yields. This protocol is general and can tolerate a wide range of functional groups.     

Sustainable Catalysis: Rational Pd Loading on MIL‐101Cr‐NH2 for More Efficient and Recyclable Suzuki–Miyaura Reactions

Palladium nanoparticles have been immobilized into an amino‐functionalized metal–organic framework (MOF), MIL‐101Cr‐NH₂, to form Pd@MIL‐101Cr‐NH₂. Four materials with different loadings of palladium have been prepared (denoted as 4‐, 8‐, 12‐, and 16 wt %Pd@MIL‐101Cr‐NH₂). The effects of catalyst loading and the size and distribution of the Pd nanoparticles on the catalytic performance have been studied. The catalysts were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier‐transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, powder X‐ray diffraction (PXRD), N₂‐sorption isotherms, elemental analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). To better characterize the palladium nanoparticles and their distribution in MIL‐101Cr‐NH₂, electron tomography was employed to reconstruct the 3D volume of 8 wt %Pd@MIL‐101Cr‐NH₂ particles. The pair distribution functions (PDFs) of the samples were extracted from total scattering experiments using high‐energy X‐rays (60 keV). The catalytic activity of the four MOF materials with different loadings of palladium nanoparticles was studied in the Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction. The best catalytic performance was obtained with the MOF that contained 8 wt % palladium nanoparticles. The metallic palladium nanoparticles were homogeneously distributed, with an average size of 2.6 nm. Excellent yields were obtained for a wide scope of substrates under remarkably mild conditions (water, aerobic conditions, room temperature, catalyst loading as low as 0.15 mol %). The material can be recycled at least 10 times without alteration of its catalytic properties.

Synthesize,Characterization and Application of Phosphine‐free Polymer Supported Palladium Nanoparticles as Effective Catalyst in Suzuki‐Miyaura Cross‐coupling Reactions

Heterogeneous catalysts were developed by supporting palladium nanoparticles on modified cross‐linked polyacrylamide and successfully applied in Suzuki‐Miyaura cross‐coupling reactions. These catalysts are stable to air and moisture, and no sign of metal leaching was detected during the reactions as judged by elemental analysis of palladium by ICP‐OES technique and hot filtration test, which demonstrates the heterogeneous character of the catalysts. High yields of desired products were resulted by using these phosphine‐free catalysts at temperatures below 80 °C without aid of any additional ligands. The heat stability of the catalysts at the operating temperature was confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). These catalysts are easy to use and cost effective. They can be recovered from reaction mixture by a simple filtration and reused in more successive reactions without significant loss in activity. The catalyst activity was restored by an ultrasonication program after deactivation in 10 cycles.
