Catalytic activity of palladium supported on single wall carbon nanotubes compared to palladium supported on activated carbon Study of the Heck and Suzuki couplings, aerobic alcohol oxidation and selective hydrogenation

Nanoparticles (2–10 nm) of palladium have been deposited on single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) by spontaneous reduction from Pd(OAc)₂ or from oxime carbapalladacycle. These catalysts exhibit higher catalytic activity than palladium over activated carbon (Pd/C) for the Heck reaction of styrene and iodobenzene and for the Suzuki coupling of phenylboronic and iodobenzene. This fact has been attributed as reflecting the dramatic influence of the size particle on the activity of the palladium catalyst for CC bond forming reactions as compared to other reaction types less demanding from the point of view of the particle size. Thus, in contrast to the Heck and Suzuki reactions, Pd/C is more active than palladium nanoparticles deposited on SWNT for the catalytic oxidation by molecular oxygen of cinnamyl alcohol to cinnamaldehyde and for the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde to 3-phenylpropionaldehyde.     

N,N′-Mono substituted acyclic thioureas: efficient ligands for the palladium catalyzed Heck reaction of deactivated aryl bromides

A series of N,N′-mono substituted acyclic thiourea ligands are found to be highly active phosphine-free catalysts for palladium catalyzed Heck reaction of aryl iodides and bromides with olefins. We have achieved high turnover numbers for aryl iodides with olefins (TONs up to 970,000 for the reaction of iodobenzene with styrene).     

Integrating chemists preferences for shape-similarity clustering of series

This study shows how chemistry knowledge and reasoning are taken into account for building a new methodology that aims at automatically grouping data having a chronological structure. We consider combinatorial catalytic experiments where the evolution of a reaction (e.g., conversion) over time is expected to be analyzed. The mathematical tool has been developed to compare and group curves taking into account their shape. The strategy, which consists on combining a hierarchical clustering with the k-means algorithm, is described and compared with both algorithms used separately. The hybridization is shown to be of great interest. Then, a second application mode of the proposed methodology is presented. Once meaningful clusters according to chemist's preferences and goals are successfully achieved, the induced model may be used in order to automatically classify new experimental results. The grouping of the new catalysts tested for the Heck coupling reaction between styrene and iodobenzene verified the set of criteria "defined" during the initial clustering step, and facilitated a quick identification of the catalytic behaviors following user's preferences.

Efficient Noble‐Metal‐Free Catalysts Supported by Three‐Dimensional Ordered Hierarchical Porous Carbon

Development of heterogeneous catalysts has attracted increasing attention, owing to their remarkable catalytic performance and recyclability. Herein, we report well‐developed heterogeneous catalysts with a three‐dimensional ordered hierarchical structure, constructed from nickel or cobalt nanoparticles embedded in porous carbon. The obtained catalysts were fully characterized by several techniques. On account of the uniform distribution of metal nanoparticles in the porous carbon matrix and large diffusion channels that allow for effective mass transport, the catalysts exhibited superior catalytic performance for styrene epoxidation reaction. In particular, the catalysts showed good catalytic activity, high selectivity and excellent recyclability toward the styrene epoxidation. Thus, this facile approach developed allows for fabricating advanced heterogeneous catalysts with high catalytic activities for useful practical applications.

The leaching and re-deposition of metal species from and onto conventional supported palladium catalysts in the Heck reaction of iodobenzene and methyl acrylate in N-methylpyrrolidone

When supported palladium catalysts are used for Heck vinylation of iodobenzene with methyl acrylate in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) in the presence of triethylamine and sodium carbonate bases, the reaction proceeds homogeneously with dissolved active palladium species that are formed through coordination of NMP and triethylamine with palladium. These active species easily react with iodobenzene (oxidative addition), beginning the catalytic cycle of Heck coupling. The last step of catalyst regeneration takes place with the action of sodium carbonate. The active palladium species are not stable and deposit the metal to support when they cannot find iodobenzene to react in the reaction mixture after this substrate is completely consumed. The re-deposition of palladium occurs on the surfaces of bare support and/or palladium particles remaining on it, depending on the nature of support surface and the number and size of residual metal particles. The growth of palladium particles has been observed after the reuse of catalyst in some case. However, the supported catalysts are recyclable without loss of activity.     

Suzuki cross-coupling reactions catalyzed by palladium nanoparticles in aqueous solution

Palladium nanoparticles stabilized by poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) are efficient catalysts for the Suzuki reactions in aqueous medium. The time dependence of the fluorescence intensity of the biphenyl product in the reaction between iodobenzene and phenylboronic acid is used to determine the initial rate of the catalytic reaction. The initial rate depends linearly on the concentration of Pd catalyst, suggesting that the catalytic reaction occurs on the surface of the Pd nanoparticles.

Oxidative Addition Step in Reactions Involving Palladium Activation of Carbon-Halogen and Carbon-Oxygen Bonds

Different modifications of the Heck reaction involving the activation of carbon-halogen and carbon-oxygen bonds by palladium (styrene phenylation with iodobenzene or benzoic anhydride and iodobenzene carbonylation, reductive coupling, and reduction) are studied by in situ ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. The catalytic cycles of the reactions include oxidative addition to Pd(0) formed in situ. The product composition in this step depends strongly on the composition of the reaction mixture, which is related to PhX conversion in the main catalytic process and with the nature of the catalyst precursor. A new hypothesis as to the mechanism of the catalytic cycle in alkene arylation in the presence of phosphine ligands is suggested. This hypothesis is consistent with NMR monitoring data and with the value of the kinetic isotope effect.__________Translated from Kinetika i Kataliz, Vol. 46, No. 4, 2005, pp. 529–535.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Shmidt, Smirnov.     

Iodobenzene-catalyzed alpha-acetoxylation of ketones. in situ generation of hypervalent (diacyloxyiodo)benzenes using m-chloroperbenzoic acid

Reported here for the first time is the iodobenzene-catalyzed alpha-oxidation of ketones, in which diacyloxy(phenyl)-lambda3-iodanes generated in situ act as real oxidants of ketones and m-chloroperbenzoic acid serves as a terminal oxidant. Oxidation of a ketone with m-chloroperbenzoic acid in acetic acid in the presence of a catalytic amount of iodobenzene, BF3.Et2O, and water at room temperature under argon affords an alpha-acetoxy ketone in good yield. p-Methyl- and p-chloroiodobenzene also serve as efficient catalysts in this direct oxidation. We found that when the reaction was carried out in the absence of a catalytic amount of iodobenzene, Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of a ketone took place. It is noted that use of water and BF3.Et2O is crucial to the success of this alpha-acetoxylation.     

Studies on fluoroalkylation and fluoroalkoxylation. Part 3. Perfluoroalkylation of olefins with perfluoroalkyl-iodides and copper in various solvenets

Perfluoroalkyl iodides react readily with simple olefins in the presence of catalytic amounts of copper in diglyme or acetic anhydride to give adducts in high yields. The reaction can be moderately accelerated by irradiation, partly suppressed with $\text{p}$-DNB and inhibited completely by hydroquinone. Fluorine-containing non-volatile amorphous solids were obtained when easily polymerized olefins, such as styrene and acrylates, were used as substrates. The reaction of perfluoroalkyl iodides and diallylic ether gave five-membered ring products under the same conditions. All the results seem to indicate that the reaction is a radical chain process induced by electron transfer. In DMSO, the main reaction may involve perfluoroalkylcopper intermediates which can be trapped by iodobenzene and hydroquinone and $\text{p}$-DNB show little inhibition effects.     

Synthesis of lanthanum-doped MCM-48 molecular sieves and its catalytic performance for the oxidation of styrene

Lanthanum-doped MCM-48 molecular sieves with different La contents were synthesized hydrothermally and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen sorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-visible spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The results show that the majority of La cations have been incorporated into the framework of MCM-48 molecular sieves. When the molar ratio of La/Si is >0.039 in the sample, some of lanthanum species exist in the extraframework. Compared with pure silicate MCM-48, lanthanum-doped MCM-48 samples show the medium strong acidity that is due to the incorporation of La in the framework of silica. In the oxidation of styrene with H(2)O(2) as the oxidant over the lanthanum-doped MCM-48 catalysts, benzaldehyde is the main product with a small amount of styrene oxide. The La content in the catalysts, reaction temperature, reaction time, and solvent affect greatly the catalytic oxidation of styrene. The conversion of styrene and the selectivity to styrene oxide increase noticeably when a small amount of NaOH aqueous solution is added into the reaction mixture. Ln-doped MCM-48 catalysts with 14 kinds of rare earth elements were synthesized hydrothermally and evaluated for the oxidation of styrene. The results show that their catalytic performance is tremendously different and depends on the nature of rare earth elements doped in the MCM-48 mesoporous materials.     

Kinetics of the Heck reactions of styrene with bromobenzene and iodobenzene in the presence of ligandless catalytic systems: A comparative study

The comparative kinetic study of the Heck reactions of styrene with iodobenzene and bromobenzene has revealed specific features of these reactions that should necessarily be taken into account for the observed data to be interpretable in the framework of a unified mechanistic conception. It has been proved for the styrene-bromobenzene reaction that benzene forms as a by-product via a heterogeneous route and catalytically active Pd(0) undergoes aggregation via an autocatalytic mechanism. The kinetics of the styrene-iodobenzene reaction indicates that benzene in this reaction forms via a homogeneous route, biphenyl forms as another by-product by a bimolecular mechanism, and excessive aryl halide concentration reduces the catalyst formation rate. A nonlinear-law mechanism is suggested for the conjugation of palladium reduction, aggregation, and oxidation in the Heck reaction. This mechanism allows the existence of a “critical” Pd(0) concentration and a “critical” formation rate of this catalytic species above which the catalytic activity begins to decrease.     

Synthesis of chitosan derivatives supported palladium complexes and their catalytic behavior in the Heck reaction

Two kinds of chitosan derivatives, crosslinked chitosan and crosslinked chitosan condense with salilylaldehyde, supported palladium complexes (CL‐CTS‐Pd and CL‐S‐CTS‐Pd) were synthesized and characterized by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), etc. These complexes are efficient catalysts for the Heck reaction under atmospheric conditions and can be easily recovered and reused. The detailed studies show that the catalyst CL‐S‐CTS‐Pd is much more efficient than CL‐CTS‐Pd under the same conditions. CL‐S‐CTS‐Pd keeps its catalytic activity in the Heck reaction of acrylic acid with iodobenzene even at a low temperature (60°C) or with tiny amounts of the catalyst (0.05 mol%Pd). Yields of making cinnamic acid were even as high as 75.3% in the Heck reaction of acrylic acid with iodobenzene using CL‐S‐CTS‐Pd that was recovered 10 times.

Cu(I) metal organic framework catalyzed C–C and C–N coupling reactions

DABCO (1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) based Cu(I) metal organic framework (here after represented as Cu(I)-MOF) catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction of iodobenzene and phenylacetylene was conducted smoothly to afford diphenylacetylene in excellent yield under N₂ atmosphere. For comparative study, piperidine based Cu(I) clusters were also investigated. Among these catalysts, Cu(I)-MOF exhibited higher activity with good selectivity for the C–C cross-coupled product. Cu(I) catalysts investigated in this study exhibited similar activity in the C–C homo-coupling reaction of phenylacetylene in O₂ atmosphere. Application of these catalysts was extended in the C–N coupling reactions between phenylboronic acid and aromatic/aliphatic/heterocyclic amines. Cu(I)-MOF can be readily recovered from the reaction mixture and reused for several cycles without loss in the catalytic activity.
