Palladium nanoparticles immobilized on cyclodextrin‐decorated halloysite nanotubes: Efficient heterogeneous catalyst for promoting copper‐ and ligand‐free Sonogashira reaction in water–ethanol mixture

Combining the excellent features of halloysite nanoclay and cyclodextrin, a novel hybrid system was designed and synthesized based on covalent attachment of tosylated cyclodextrin to thiosemicarbazide‐functionalized halloysite nanoclay and used for the immobilization of Pd nanoparticles. The resulting hybrid, Pd@HNTs‐T‐CD, was then characterized using various techniques, and successfully used for promoting copper‐ and ligand‐free Sonogashira coupling reactions of halobenzenes and acetylenes in a mixture of water and ethanol. Notably, under Pd@HNTs‐T‐CD catalysis, the reaction could proceed in relatively short reaction time to furnish the corresponding products in high yields. Additionally, the catalyst was recyclable and could be simply recovered and reused for several reaction runs. Results also established negligible leaching of Pd, indicating the efficiency of HNTs‐T‐CD for embedding Pd nanoparticles.

MOF-253·Pd(OAc)₂ and MOF-253·CuI were prepared, characterized, and evaluated firstly as heterogeneous co-catalysts, which showed high catalytic activity in Sonogashira coupling reaction of various substituted (hetero)aryl halides with terminal alkynes at 70–120 °C, and afforded the corresponding products in 45–99% yields with high TON (～2722 for Pd). The best result was achieved with an extremely low Pd (0.036 mol%) and Cu (0.397 mol%) loading. Moreover, the catalysts can be reused at least five times without significantly reducing the activity. Besides, Hg(0) and PVP-poisoning experiments confirmed that the present catalysts were efficient and heterogeneous catalysts in this coupling reaction.     

Immobilizing Pd nanoparticles on the ternary hybrid system of graphene oxide,Fe3O4 nanoparticles,and PAMAM dendrimer as an efficient support for catalyzing sonogashira coupling reaction

An alternative approach to develop a Pd catalyst based on dendrimer‐functionalized graphene oxide for C‐C cross‐coupling reactions is reported. Pd@MGO‐D‐NH₂ has been synthesized by incipient wet impregnation method. The structure of the catalyst was thoroughly characterized by a set of analytical techniques such as TEM, BET, SEM/EDS, FTIR, and elemental mapping analysis. Then, the catalytic activity of the catalyst was scrutinized for promoting sonogashira C‐C coupling reaction. The results manifested that Pd@MGO‐D‐NH₂ was able to catalyze the coupling reaction to obtain high coupling yields in short reaction time. The results of present work are hoped to aid the development of new class of heterogeneous catalysts as the high performance candidate for industrial applications.     

Pd@GO/Fe3O4/PAA/DCA: a novel magnetic heterogeneous catalyst for promoting the Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction

Abstract

A hybrid system involving graphene oxide (GO), magnetic oxide (Fe₃O₄), acrylamide and dicyandiamide was prepared via amine functionalization of GO/Fe₃O₄ by means of covalent bonding with acrylamide and subsequent reaction with dicyandiamide to provide a multinitrogen containing polymer on the surface of GO. This hybrid system was utilized as a heterogeneous catalyst support for immobilizing Pd nanoparticles to provide the hybrid, Pd@GO/Fe₃O₄/PAA/DCA. This nano-Pd composite was characterized using Fourier transform infrared, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, and ICP techniques and used for promoting Sonogashira cross-coupling under mild reaction conditions. This heterogeneous and magnetic catalyst was easily separated by external magnet and was reused in a model reaction, efficiently up to six times with slight loss of catalytic activity and Pd leaching, showing the suitability of GO/Fe₃O₄/PAA/DCA for embedding Pd nanoparticles. To check the effect of the number of surface nitrogens of the polymeric chain on the catalytic performance, the activity of the catalyst was compared with Pd@GO/Fe₃O₄/PAA; increased number of the surface nitrogens on the chain polymer leads to higher loading of Pd and lower the Pd leaching.

Step-by-step synthesis of copper(I) complex supported on platinum nanoparticle-decorated mesoporous silica hollow spheres and its remarkable catalytic performance in Sonogashira coupling reaction

In this study, a step-by-step method for the synthesis of platinum nanoparticles and copper(I) complex supported on mesoporous silica hollow spheres (Pt-MSHSs-Cu) is introduced. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption–desorption, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and elemental and thermogravimetric analyses were applied for characterization of the surface, structure, size, phase composition, and morphology of the synthesized materials. The characterized material, Pt-MSHSs-Cu, was used as an efficient and heterogeneous catalyst in the Sonogashira coupling reaction under different reaction conditions. In comparison with MSHSs, Cu(I)-functionalized MSHSs (MSHSs-Cu), and Pt-MSHSs samples, the Pt-MSHSs-Cu catalyst exhibited significantly increased catalytic performance with 91.50% yield. Therefore, the results obtained suggested a synergistic effect derived from platinum nanoparticles, MSHSs substrate, and copper(I) complex, which enhanced the rate of the Sonogashira coupling reaction.     

Palladium immobilized on amidoxime‐functionalized magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles: a highly stable and efficient magnetically recoverable nanocatalyst for sonogashira coupling reaction

We describe the synthesis of a novel Fe₃O₄/amidoxime (AO)/Pd nanocatalyst by grafting of AO groups on Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles and subsequent deposition of Pd nanoparticles. Prior to grafting of AO, the 2‐cyanoethyl‐functionalized Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles prepared through combining 2‐cyanoethyltriethoxysilane and Fe₃O₄ were treated with hydroxylamine. The AO‐grafted Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles were then used as a platform for the deposition of Pd nanoparticles. The catalyst was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopies, vibrating sample magnetometry, wavelength‐ and energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopies and inductively coupled plasma analysis. Fe₃O₄/AO/Pd is novel phosphine‐free recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for Sonogashira reactions. Interestingly, the novel catalyst could be recovered in a facile manner from the reaction mixture by applying an external magnet device and recycled seven times without any significant loss in activity.

Nano tetraimine Pd(0) complex as an efficient catalyst for phosphine‐free Suzuki reaction in water and copper‐free Sonogashira reaction under aerobic conditions

A nano tetraimine Pd(0) complex catalyst was successfully used as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the phosphine‐free palladium‐catalysed Suzuki coupling reaction in water at 80 °C.

The catalyst was easily recovered from the reaction mixture by centrifugation and reused for at least six cycles without any significant loss in its catalytic activity. Analysis of the reaction mixture using inductively coupled plasma analysis showed that leaching of palladium from the catalyst was negligible. The reactions can be performed efficiently for aryl iodides, bromides and also chlorides. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Effect of addition of iron on morphology and catalytic activity of PdCu nanoalloy thin film as catalyst in Sonogashira coupling reaction

Palladium‐supported catalysts are complex assemblies with a challenging preparation. Minor changes in their preparation conditions can affect the activity, selectivity and lifetime of these catalysts. PdCuFe nanoparticle (NP) thin films were supported on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) by the reduction of the organometallic complex [PdCl_2‌(cod)] (cod = cis ,cis ‐1,5‐cyclooctadiene), and [Cu(acac)₂] and [Fe(acac)₃] (acac = acetylacetonate) complexes at a toluene–water interface. We have investigated the application of the liquid–liquid interface method for preparing ultrathin films of catalysts and have evaluated the catalytic activity of the prepared NPs for the Sonogashira coupling reaction in micelle media. Also, we have investigated the effect of the addition of iron on the morphology, size and catalytic activity of PdCu/RGO NPs. Our study shows that both of the prepared catalysts (PdCu/RGO and PdCuFe/RGO) are efficient and recoverable catalysts for the Sonogashira carbon–carbon coupling reaction. This method has advantages compared to other routes, such as short reaction times, high to excellent yields, facile and low‐cost method for the preparation of the catalysts, and easy separation and reusability of the catalysts.     

Shape-dependent catalytic activity of copper oxide-supported Pd(0) nanoparticles for Suzuki and cyanation reactions

Palladium nanoparticles supported on different shapes of nanocrystalline CuO are prepared by the treatment of Cu(NO₃)₂ and Pd(OAc)₂ in polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000). The shapes of the CuO/Pd composite are dependent on the amount of PEG used. Suzuki coupling was catalyzed efficiently by the oval-shaped material, whereas the rod shape facilitates the cyanation reaction. The CuO/Pd catalyst is recovered and reused for subsequent Suzuki reactions; however, cyanation poisons the catalyst for further use. Both these reactions are very clean and high yielding.     

Synthesis of achiral NCN pincer Pt(II) and Pd(II) complexes and catalytic application in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction

A series of platinum and palladium pincer complexes supported by achiral 1,3-bis(2′-imidazolinyl)benzene-based NCN ligands have been prepared via direct C2 metalation. Meanwhile, ligand precursor 3b and Pt(II) complex 4b were characterized by crystallographic studies, which reveals that the platinum atom in 4b adopts a distorted-square-planar geometry. The Pd(II) pincer complexes 5b was found to be an efficient catalyst for Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of aryl bromides and phenylboronic acid under air. In the presence of 0.5?mol% of Pd(II) 5b in DMF/K₃PO₄·3H₂O for 8?h, the corresponding biaryl products could be obtained in 24–99% yields.

These Pd catalysts exhibited excellent reactivities for Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions at 50–70 °C in water. In particular, Pd anchored PNIPAM/HNT (95:5 w/w ratio) nanocomposites showed excellent recyclability up to 10 times in 96% average yield by simple filtration.

Buchwald‐Hartwig amination reaction of aryl halides using heterogeneous catalyst based on Pd nanoparticles decorated on chitosan functionalized graphene oxide

In this work, graphene oxide was functionalized with chitosan (GO‐Chit) followed by a simple approach for immobilization of palladium nanoparticles onto a chitosan grafted graphene oxide surface. The Pd‐nanocomposite (GO‐Chit‐Pd) was characterized using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. The catalytic activity of the prepared heterogeneous graphene oxide functionalized chitosan‐palladium (GO‐Chit‐Pd) was investigated in term of C‐N coupling reaction (Buchwald‐Hartwig amination reaction of aryl halides) yielding products of N‐arylamines. The easy purification, convenient operation, and environmental friendliness, combined with a high yield, render this method viable for use in both laboratory research and larger industrial scales. Studying the reusability of the catalyst in this work showed that it could be reused for five times without obvious loss in catalytic activity.     

Pd(0) complex of fuberidazole modified magnetic nanoparticles: A novel magnetically retrievable high-performance catalyst for Suzuki and Stille C-C coupling reactions

Fuberidazole has been successfully immobilized onto nano-Fe₃O₄ supported (3-chloropropyl)trimethoxysilane (3-CPTS) leading to a novel functionalized magnetic nanoparticle (FB/MNP). The Pd(0) complex, Pd-FB/MNP, was prepared by grafting Pd (OAc)₂ on FB/MNP and subsequent reduction of a synthesized Pd (II) complex using NaBH₄. Pd-FB/MNP has been characterized by FT-IR, SEM, TGA, XRD, ICP, EDS, BET and VSM. The Pd(0) complex proved to be an efficient phosphine- and halide-free recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for Suzuki as well as for Stille C-C coupling reactions showing high catalytic activity (up to 98%). Its catalytic activity in both reactions has been studied in PEG-400 as a green solvent. Besides, the selectivity of aryl iodide and aryl bromide over aryl chloride is observed during the C-C coupling reaction. The catalyst could be recovered easily from the reaction mixture using an external magnet device and recycled several times without considerable loss in activity. Additionally, the results of a palladium leaching test of the nano-catalyst demonstrate that no leaching of Pd took place during the C-C coupling process making the procedure environmentally friendly.
