Highly Efficient Pd/C-Catalyzed Suzuki Coupling Reaction of p-（un）Substituted Phenyl Halide with （p-Substituted phenyl） Boronic Acid

A highly efficient Pd/C-catalyzed ligandless, heterogeneous Suzuki reaction of p-（un）substituted phenyl halide with （p-substituted phenyl）boronic acid in DMF/H2O solvent in a short reaction time （0.5 h） at 75 ℃ was developed. The key for such a catalytic system was the addition of 1 equivalent of tetrabutylammonium bromide. A wide variety of substituents can be tolerated and high yields of cross coupling products were achieved. The palladium catalyst can be easily recovered and reused without significantly decreasing its efficiency.     

Synthesis of polyethers with unsymmetrical structures by the polyaddition of 3‐ethyl‐3‐(glycidyloxymethyl)oxetane with diacyl chlorides

Polyethers with unsymmetrical structures in the main chains and pendant chloromethyl groups were synthesized by the polyaddition of 3‐ethyl‐3‐(glycidyloxymethyl)oxetane (EGMO) with certain diacyl chlorides with quaternary onium salts or pyridine as catalysts. The unsymmetrical polyaddition of EGMO containing two different cyclic ether moieties such as oxirane and oxetane groups with terephthaloyl chloride proceeded smoothly in toluene at 90 °C for 6 h to give polymer 1 with a number‐average molecular weight (M_n) of 51,700 in a 93% yield when tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) was used as a catalyst. The polyaddition also proceeded smoothly under the same conditions when other quaternary onium salts, such as tetrabutylammonium chloride, tetrabutylammonium iodide, tetrabutylphosphonium chloride, and tetrabutylphosphonium bromide, and pyridine were used as catalysts. However, without a catalyst no reaction occurred under the same reaction conditions. Polyadditions of EGMO with isophthaloyl chloride and adipoyl chloride gave polymer 2 (M_n = 28,700) and polymer 3 (M_n = 25,400) in 99 and 65% yields, respectively, under the same conditions. The chemical modification of the resulting polymer, polymer 1 , which contained reactive pendant chloromethyl groups, was also attempted with potassium 3‐phenyl‐2,5‐norbornadiene‐2‐carboxylate with TBAB as a phase‐transfer catalyst, and a polymer with 65 mol % pendant norbornadiene moieties was obtained. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis of poly(cyanurate)s by a novel polyaddition of bis(epoxide)s with triazine dichloride

Poly(cyanurate)s (P‐1–P‐4) containing triazine groups in the main chain and pendant chloromethyl groups in the side chain were synthesized by the polyaddition of bis(epoxide)s with 2,4‐dichloro‐6‐(diphenylamino)‐s‐triazine (DPAT) using quaternary onium salts as catalysts. The polyaddition of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol‐A (DGEBA) with DPAT proceeded smoothly in chlorobenzene at 100 °C for 12 h to give P‐1 with M_n = 19,000 in a 92% yield, when tetrabutylammonium chloride (TBAC) was used as a catalyst. However, no reaction occurred without a catalyst or with triethylamine alone under the same reaction conditions. Polyadditions of other bis(epoxide)s with DPTA also proceeded smoothly using 5 mol % of TBAC as a catalyst in chlorobenzene to produce corresponding polymers (P‐2≈P‐4) in high yields under similar reaction conditions. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Alkylation of aromatic compounds with multi-component Lewis acid catalysts of ZnCl2 and ionic liquids with different organic cations

Alkylation of aromatic compounds with various alkylating agents such as benzyl chloride, benzyl alcohol and isopropyl chloride were investigated using ZnCl₂ based ionic liquid (ILs) Lewis acid catalysts. Multi-component Lewis acid catalysts of ZnCl₂ and ionic liquids such as 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, 1-butylpyridinium bromide, cholin chloride and tetrabutylammonium bromide were prepared, supported on silica gel, and compared for alkylation reactions with various alkylating agents. Among the IL-based catalysts, 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium-bromide-ZnCl₂ and 1-butylpyridinium bromide-ZnCl₂ are highly active.     

Controlled polymerization of an AB2 monomer using a chloromethylarene as comonomer: branched polymers from activated methylene compounds

Hyperbranched and branched polymers were synthesized by one-pot reaction of the AB₂ monomer 4-(4′-chloromethylbenzyloxy)phenylacetonitrile (1 ). The polymerization of 1 was controlled by adding a chloromethylarene (A₁ comonomer) such as methoxybenzyl chloride and by adding TBAC (tetrabutylammonium chloride). Copolymerization of 1 with A₂ comonomers, bis(chloromethyl)arenes, gives the corresponding copolymers.

Summary Five supported heterogeneous Pd catalysts have been prepared, characterized and found to be active and selective in the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of boronic acids, and aromatic iodo and bromo compounds to form the corresponding biaryls in high selectivities. Reaction conditions, namely, the solvent, base (triethylamine, Na₂CO₃, Cs₂CO₃) and tetrabutylammonium chloride as an additive are shown to have profound effects on catalyst performance.</o:p>     

Pd based on 2-Aminopyrimidine and 1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-amine functionalizedFe3O4 nanoparticles as novel recyclable magnetic nanocatalysts for Ullmann coupling reaction

In this study, Pd based on 2-Aminopyrimidine and 1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-amine functionalized Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles [(Pd-APM-PSi-Fe₃O₄) and (Pd-BIA-PSi-Fe₃O₄)] was designed and used for the synthesis of di aryl ether by Ulmann cross-coupling reactions. Ulmann reaction performed with mixing of the arylhalides and phenol derivatives in DMF solvent. The prepared catalysts were characterized with various analytical techniques such as FT-IR, XRD, TGA, SEM, TEM, EDX, ICP and VSM. Pd-APM-PSi-Fe₃O₄ and Pd-BIA-PSi-Fe₃O₄ catalysts demonstrated good to excellent yields catalytic efficiency for Ulmann reactions in comparison with to commercial palladium catalysts. The catalyst is easily recycled and reused without loss of the catalytic activity. The combined merits of reusable catalyst conditions make the condensation with safe operation, no leaching of pd into environment, low pollution, rapid access to products and simple workup. Also, these novel magnetic nanocatalysts are superior to the industry standard Pd in every relevant aspect. They feature a way higher initial activity, a much more convenient separation, better recycling, and less contamination of the products. Last but not least, they can be very easily prepared from commercially available Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles using standard laboratory equipment.     

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.     

Pd(0)/iodide salt-mediated Heck reaction of aryl nonaflates: Application to the synthesis of 2-(1-alkenyl)phenylphosphonates

Iodide salt, such as NaI, KI or n-Bu₄NI (TBAI), rather than bromide or chloride salt, was found to play a key role in the Pd(0)-catalyzed Heck reaction of aryl nonaflates and terminal alkenes. In the presence of PdCl₂(PPh₃)₂, NaI or TBAI in DMF, a class of 2-(1-alkenyl)phenylphosphonates was first synthesized via the reaction of o-phosphonylphenyl nonaflates with alkenes, the yields, regioselectivities and stereoselectivities were much dependent on the nature of the substituents. In case of the aryl nonaflates without bearing the sterically hindered phosphonyl group with the alkenes, the reactions proceeded more smoothly under the same conditions, leading to the linear products regioselectively in good to excellent yields. A rationale for this reaction is discussed.     

Highly efficient orthopalladated complexes of second and third benzyl amine for catalyzing the Suzuki cross‐coupling reaction

In this work, ortho‐palladated complexes [Pd(µ‐Cl)(C₆H₄CH₂ NRR′‐κ²‐C,N)]₂ and [Pd(C₆H₄CH₂NH₂‐2‐C,N)Cl(Y)] were tested in the Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction. Cyclopalladated Pd(II) complexes as thermally stable catalysts can activate aryl bromides and chlorides. These complexes were active and efficient catalysts for the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction of aryl bromides and even less reactive aryl chlorides. The cross‐coupled products of a variety of aryl bromides and aryl chloride with phenylboronic acid in methanol as solvent at 60 °C were produced in excellent yields.

Conversion of d-glucose into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) using zeolite in [Bmim]Cl or tetrabutylammonium chloride (TBAC)/CrCl2

The formation of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from glucose was studied. It was found that the CrCl₂-catalyzed conversion in the ionic liquid, butylmethylimidazolium chloride ([Bmim]Cl) leads to negligible quantities of 3-deoxyglucosone confirming that fructose is the main intermediate. It was found that the environmentally unfriendly chromium salt could be replaced with zeolite (H-ZSM-5) leading to a 45% yield of HMF. It was also found that the solvent [Bmim]Cl could be replaced with non-toxic tetrabutylammonium chloride (TBAC) giving a 56% yield of HMF.     

Accelerated Heck reaction using ortho‐palladated complex in a nonaqueous ionic liquid with controlled microwave heating

The activity of {Pd[C₆H₂(CH₂CH₂NH₂)‐(OMe)₂,3,4] (µ‐Br)}₂ complex was investigated in the Heck–Mizoroki C C cross‐coupling reaction under conventional heating and microwave irradiation conditions in molten salt tetrabutylammonium bromide as the solvent and promoter at 130 °C. This complex in these conditions is an active and efficient catalyst for the Heck reaction of aryl iodides, bromides and even chlorides, and also arenesulfonyl chlorides.

Phase-Transfer catalyzed free-radical polymerization of acrylonitrile

The kinetics of phase-transfer catalyzed free-radical polymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) was carried out with water-soluble initiator peroxomonosulphate (PMS) with phase-transfer catalysts (tetrabutylammonium chloride and benzyltributylammonium chloride (TBAC and BTBAC) in tolune/water two-phase systems in the temperature range of 45–55°C at fixed pH (4) and ionic strength. The rates of polymerization (R_p) were evaluated at various values of [PMS], [PTC], and [AN]. It has been observed that the rates of polymerization increase with an increase of [AN], [PMS], and [PTC]. A kinetic scheme has been proposed to account for the experimental observations. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Stereospecific synthesis of a family of novel (E)‐2‐aryl‐1‐silylalka‐1,4‐dienes or (E)‐4‐aryl‐5‐silylpenta‐1,2,4‐trienes via a cross‐coupling of (Z)‐silyl(stannyl)ethenes with allyl halides or propargyl bromide

Stereospecific synthesis of a family of novel (E)‐2‐aryl‐1‐silylalka‐1,4‐dienes or (E)‐4‐aryl‐5‐silylpenta‐1,2,4‐trienes via a cross‐coupling of (Z)‐silyl(stannyl)ethenes with allyl halides or propargyl bromide is described. In the reaction with allyl bromide, either a Pd(dba)₂? CuI combination (dba, dibenzylideneacetone) in DMF or copper(I) iodide in DMSO–THF readily catalyzes or mediates the coupling reaction of (Z)‐silyl(stannyl)ethenes at room temperature, producing novel vinylsilanes bearing an allyl group β to silicon with cis ‐disposition in good yields. Allyl chlorides as halides can be used in the CuI‐mediated reaction. CuI alone much more effectively mediates the cross‐coupling reaction with propargyl bromide in DMSO–THF at room temperature compared with a Pd(dba)₂? CuI combination catalysis in DMF, providing novel stereodefined vinylsilanes bearing an allenyl group β to silicon with cis ‐disposition in good yields. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Oxidative carbonylation of phenol to diphenyl carbonate catalyzed by palladium complexes bridged with N,N‐ligands over functionalized silica

Heterogeneous palladium catalysts anchored on functionalized silica were prepared by sol–gel methods and their catalytic properties for the oxidative carbonylation of phenol to diphenyl carbonate (DPC) were investigated. The catalysts were characterized by means of IR, XPS, EA and BET. The Pd loading in the heterogeneous catalysts and leaching in solution were detected by atomic absorption. The effects of different reaction parameters such as temperature, solvent and inorganic cocatalyst on the yield of DPC and Pd leaching were also studied. It was found that Cu₂O and tetrahydrofuran (THF) were the best partners with these heterogeneous catalysts. In the presence of 3 Å molecular sieves as dehydrating agent, the heterogeneous palladium catalyst prepared from 2‐acylpyridine revealed excellent catalytic performance and stability at 110 °C for 5 h, giving 13.7% yield of DPC based on phenol and 4.0% Pd loss in solution. The heterogeneous catalyst was more active and stable compared with traditional supported Pd? C catalyst under the same reaction conditions. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Enthalpies of Transfer of Tetraalkylammonium Bromides and CsBr from water to Aqueous DMF at 298.15 K

Enthalpies of transfer of tetraalkylammonium bromides and CsBr from water to aqueous DMF mixtures are reported and analyzed in terms of a new solvation theory. It was found that a previous equation could not reproduce these data over the whole range of solvent compositions. Using a new solvation theory to model the enthalpies of transfer shows excellent agreement between experimental and calculated values over the entire range of solvent compositions. The analyses show that tetrapropylammonium bromide, Pr₄NBr, and tetrapentylammonium bromide, Pen₄NBr, are preferentially solvated by water; in contrast tetrabutylammonium bromide, Bu₄NBr, is preferentially solvated by DMF. The solvation of tetramethylammonium bromide, Me₄NBr, and cesium bromide, CsBr, is random. The extent to which the tetraalkylammonium bromides disrupt solvent–solvent bonds increases systematically in going from Me₄NBr to Pen₄NBr.     

Recyclable Palladium Catalysts for the Heck/Sonogashira Reaction under Microwave‐assisted Thermomorphic Conditions

The reaction of allyl palladium(II) chloride dimer and 4,4′‐bis(R_fCH₂OCH₂)‐2,2′‐bpy, 1a–b , in the presence of AgOT_f resulted in the synthesis of cationic palladium complex, [Pd(η³‐allyl)(4,4′‐bis‐(R_fCH₂OCH₂)‐2,2′‐bpy)](OT_f), 2a–b where R_f = C₉F₁₉ ( a ), C₁₀F₂₁ ( b ), respectively. The reaction of [PdCl₂(CH₃CN)] or K₂PdCl₄ with 1b , gave rise to the synthesis of [PdCl₂(4,4′‐bis‐(C₁₀F₂₁CH₂OCH₂)‐2,2′‐bpy)], 3b . The quantitatively determined solubility curves of 2a–b and 3b in DMF indicated dramatic increase of solubility for 2a – b and 3b from ?40 to 90 °C. The catalyst‐recoverable Pd‐catalyzed Heck/Sonogashira reactions were successfully achieved in DMF with microwave‐assistance. The cationic Pd‐catalyzed Heck arylation of methyl acrylate was selected to demonstrate the feasibility of recycling 2a–b using DMF as a solvent under microwave‐assisted thermomorphic conditions. At the end of each cycle, the product mixtures were cooled, and then the catalysts were recovered by decantation. The Heck arylation catalyzed by 2b under microwave‐assisted mode exhibited good recycling results favoring the trans product. To our knowledge, this is the first example of cationic Pd‐catalyzed Heck arylation under microwave‐assisted thermomorphic conditions. Additionally, recoverable 3b ‐catalyzed Sonogashira reactions were also achieved successfully in DMF. The reactions under microwave‐assistance gave much better results in yield and in efficiency than that under conventional thermal heating.     

Plant coumarins: XI. Cross coupling reactions with 2-(tosyl)oreoselone

The reaction of a linearly fused furocoumarin, oreoselone, with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride gave 2-tosyloreoselone which showed a high reactivity in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with formation of a new carbon-carbon bond. 2-Tosyloreoselone reacted with terminal alkynes in the presence of Pd(PPh₃)₂Cl₂ to give the corresponding 2-alkynylfuro[3,2-g]chromen-3-ones. 2-Aryl(hetaryl)alkynyloreoselones were obtained in high yield directly by palladium-catalyzed reaction of oreoselone with tosyl chloride and aryl(hetaryl)acetylenes. The reaction of 2-tosyloreoselone with aryl(hetaryl)boronic acids in the presence of palladium complexes with uni- and bidentate ligands, tetrabutylammonium bromide, and a base afforded 2-aryl(hetaryl)-substituted oreoselones. 2-Vinyloreoselone was synthesized from 2-tosyloreoselone and potassium trifluoro(vinyl)borate.
