Palladium complexes of 8-(di-tert-butylphosphinooxy) quinoline

The preparation of the new ligand 8-(di-tert-butylphosphinooxy)quinoline (1) and the palladium derivatives [PdCl₂(1)] (2), [Pd(η³-all)(1)]⁺ [all = C₃H₅ (3a), 1-PhC₃H₄ (3b) and 1,3-Ph₂C₃H₃ (3c)] and [Pd(η²-ol)(1)] [ol = dimethyl fumarate (4a) and fumaronitrile (4b)] is reported. The cationic species 3a-3c have been isolated as salts. The complex 3a(BF₄) is obtained either from the reaction of 1 with [Pd(μ-Cl)(η³-C₃H₅)]₂ or from the reaction of ClP(CMe₃)₂ with [Pd(η³-C₃H₅)(8-oxyquinoline)], followed in both cases by chloride abstraction with NaBF₄. In the complexes, the ligand 1 is P,N chelated to the central metal, as shown by the X-ray structural analysis of 3a(BF₄). At 25 °C in solution, 3a(BF₄) and 3b(BF₄) undergo a fast η³−η¹−η³ dynamic process which brings about a syn-anti exchange only for the allylic protons cis to phosphorus, while for 4a and 4b a slow rotation of the olefin around its bond axis to palladium takes place. The complexes 2 and 3a(BF₄) are efficient catalyst precursors in the coupling of the phenylboronic acid with aryl bromides and chlorides.

In the presence of Pd(OAc)₂ and DABCO, both aryl bromides and aryl chlorides all worked well with arylboronic acids to form biaryls, heteroaryl-aryls, and biheteroaryls in moderate to excellent yields using DMF as the solvent. Additionally, the reactions of aryl bromides were conducted under relatively mild conditions.

Imidazol(in)ium carboxylates as N-heterocyclic carbene ligand precursors for Suzuki-Miyaura reactions

Simple catalysts formed in situ from palladium acetate and a variety of imidazolium and imidazolinium carboxylates and dithiocarboxylates have been screened in the coupling of aryl halides with trans-2-phenylvinylboronic acid. Imidazol(in)ium carboxylates show an excellent activity, which compares to that displayed by the parent imidazol(in)ium chlorides, whereas imidazol(in)ium dithiocarboxylates are poorly efficient. Interestingly, the base employed exerts a profound influence on the trans/cis stereochemistry of the coupling product.

The catalyst is very easy to remove from the reaction medium, only by using a simple magnet, and it could be re-used up to three times with only a slightly decrease of the chemical yield.

Good yields of the corresponding 1,2-dihydronaphth-1-ols (6) were provided when as low as 0.05 mol% of palladacycle 3 was used. ³¹P NMR study showed that the skeleton of 3 remained intact in the reaction, which implied that palladacycle 3 did not serve as a catalyst precursor but a catalyst in the reaction.     

cis-Fashioned palladium (II) complexes of 2-phenylbenzimidazole ligands: Synthesis, characterization, and catalytic behavior towards Suzuki-Miyaura reaction

Reaction of 2-arylbenzimidazole with PdCl₂(CH₃CN)₂ in CH₂Cl₂ affords benzimidazole palladium (II) complexes in high yields. The structure of complexes C1, C2, and C3 has been confirmed by X-ray structure analysis. The configuration of complexes depends on the substituent on the 2-position of benzimidazole. Phenyl affords the complexes in cis-fashion due to π-π stacking of phenyl and benzimidazole. Tolyl affords the complex in trans-fashion. The catalytic studies show that cis-configured 2-phenylbenzimidazole palladium (II) complexes are highly efficient catalysts in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction.

Hierarchical TiO2 microspheres supported ultrasmall palladium Nanocrystals: A highly efficient catalyst for Suzuki reaction

A hierarchical titanium dioxide microspheres-supported palladium catalyst (Pd/TiO₂-350) was prepared and characterized using BET, XRD, XPS, SEM, EDX, and TEM analyses. An ICP-OES analysis of Pd/TiO₂-350 further confirmed the successful Pd immobilization on TiO₂ with a palladium loading of 0.1 mmol g^?1. Pd/TiO₂-350 efficiently catalyzed the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction of aryl iodides with arylboronic acids to give the corresponding biaryl derivatives in good to excellent yields. After the reaction, the catalyst was recovered by centrifugation and reused three times without significant loss of its catalytic activity. Moreover, the loading of palladium species further decreased to 0.001 mol%, and the total turnover number and turnover frequency of the catalyst reached as high as 99 000 and 0.57 s^?1, respectively.

An efficient new Pd(II)-(2-aminonicotinaldehyde)-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of the aryl halides (Br, Cl and I) and organoboronic acids at moderate temperature in water is described. Low catalyst loading, easy accessibility, being an air-stable catalyst, functional group compatibility, and water as the reaction medium are some of the key features of this synthetic method. This protocol is also applicable for gram scale.     

Catalytic activity of η-(olefin)palladium(0) complexes with iminophosphine ligands in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. Role of the olefin in the catalyst stabilization

The catalytic activity of η²-(olefin)palladium(0)(iminophosphine) complexes in the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling is strongly dependent on the reaction conditions and on the nature of the ligands. The reaction is at the best carried out in aromatic solvents in the presence of K₂CO₃ at 90-110 °C. Higher reaction rates are obtained when the R substituent on the N-imino group is an aromatic group of low steric hindrance and the olefin is a moderate π-accepting ligand such as dimethyl fumarate. At temperatures lower than 90 °C, a self-catalyzed process leading to catalyst deactivation becomes predominant. Preliminary mechanistic investigations indicate that the oxidative addition of the aryl bromide to a Pd(0) species is the rate determining step in the catalytic cycle and that the olefin plays a key role in catalyst stabilization. Systems in situ prepared by mixing Pd(OAc)₂ or Pd(dba)₂ with 1 equiv of iminophosphine appear substantially less active than the preformed catalysts.
