Mizoroki–Heck and Suzuki–Miyaura reactions mediated by poly(2‐acrylamido‐2‐methyl‐1‐propanesulfonic acid)‐stabilized magnetically separable palladium catalyst

The purpose of this work was to synthesize and characterize a new magnetic polymer nanosphere‐supported palladium(II) acetate catalyst for reactions requiring harsh conditions. In this regard, an air‐stable, moisture‐stable and highly efficient heterogenized palladium was synthesized by the coordination of palladium(II) acetate with poly(2‐acrylamido‐2‐methyl‐1‐propanesulfonic acid)‐grafted modified magnetic nanoparticles with a core–shell structure. The structure of the newly developed catalyst was characterized using various techniques. The catalytic activity of the resultant nano‐organometallic catalyst was evaluated in Mizoroki–Heck and Suzuki–Miyaura reactions to afford the corresponding coupling products in good to excellent yields. High selectivity as well as outstanding turnover number (14 143, 4900) and turnover frequency (28 296, 7424) values were recorded for the catalyst in Suzuki–Miyaura and Mizoroki–Heck reactions, respectively. Magnetic separation and recycling of the catalyst for at least six runs became possible without any significant loss of efficiency or any detectable palladium leaching.     

The development of phosphinoamine–Pd(II)–imidazole complexes: implications in room‐temperature Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction

The reaction of N‐methylimidazole (N‐MeIm) and N‐butylimidazole (N‐BuIm) with the complexes [PdCl₂(PPh₂py–P,N)] and [PdCl₂(PPh₂Etpy–P,N)] in the presence of NH₄PF₆ under N₂ at room temperature afforded four new cationic Pd(II) complexes [PdCl(PPh₂py–P,N)(N‐MeIm)](PF₆) ( 1 ), [PdCl(PPh₂py–P,N)(N‐BuIm)](PF₆) ( 2 ), [PdCl(PPh₂Etpy–P,N)(N‐MeIm)](PF₆) ( 4 ) and [PdCl(PPh₂Etpy‐P,N)(N‐BuIm)](PF₆) ( 5 ) in good yields, where PPh₂py is 2‐(diphenylphosphino)pyridine and PPh₂Etpy is 2‐{2‐(diphenylphosphino)ethyl}pyridine).

Cyclodextrin‐supported palladium complex: A highly active and recoverable catalyst for Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction in aqueous medium

A water‐soluble, cyclodextrin‐supported palladium complex (DACH‐Pd‐β‐CD) catalytic system was designed and synthesized, which can efficiently catalyze Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reactions between aryl halides and arylboronic acid in water under mild conditions. The catalyst was successfully characterized using the methods of transmission electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectrometry, X‐ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and Fourier transform infrared and NMR spectroscopies. Furthermore, the catalyst can be easily separated from the reaction mixture and still maintain high catalytic activity after ten cycles. No leaching of palladium into the reaction solution occurred. The advantages of green solvent (water), short reaction times (2–6 h), low catalyst loading (0.001 mol%), excellent yields (up to 99%) and reusability of the catalyst mean it will have potential applications in green chemical synthesis.

Tetraphosphine/palladium‐catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of heteroaryl halides with 3‐pyridine‐ and 3‐thiopheneboronic acid: an efficient catalyst for the formation of biheteroaryls

An easily prepared tetraphosphine N,N,N′,N′‐tetra(diphenylphosphinomethyl)‐1,2‐ethylenediamine (L1) associated with [Pd(η³‐C₃H₅)Cl]₂ affords an efficient catalyst for Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of 3‐pyridineboronic acid with heteroaryl bromides. Reaction could be performed with as little as 0.02 mol% catalyst and a high turnover number of 2500 is obtained. A wide range of substrates is investigated with satisfactory yields, and good compatibility with aminogroup‐substituted pyridines and unprotected indole is exhibited. This protocol can also be applied successfully to the reaction of heteroaryl bromides with 3‐thiopheneboronic acid. This Pd‐tetraphosphine catalyst efficiently restrains the poisoning effect from heteroaryls, and shows good stability and longevity. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Novel palladium nanoparticles supported on β‐cyclodextrin@graphene oxide as magnetically recyclable catalyst for Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction with two different approaches in bio‐based solvents

A novel nanocatalyst was designed and prepared. Initially, the surface of magnetic graphene oxide (M‐GO) was modified using thionyl chloride, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane and acryloyl chloride as linkers which provide reactive C═C bonds for the polymerization of vinylic monomers. Separately, β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) was treated with acryloyl chloride to provide a modified β‐CD. Then, in the presence methylenebisacrylamide as a cross‐linker, monomers of modified β‐CD and acrylamide were polymerized on the surface of the pre‐prepared M‐GO. Finally, palladium acetate and sodium borohydride were added to this composite to afford supported palladium nanoparticles. This fabricated nanocomposite was fully characterized using various techniques. The efficiency of this easily separable and reusable heterogeneous catalyst was successfully examined in Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reactions of aryl halides and boronic acid as well as in modified Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reactions of N‐acylsuccinimides and boronic acid in green media. The results showed that the nanocatalyst was efficient in coupling reactions for direct formation of the corresponding biphenyl as well as benzophenone derivatives in green media based on bio‐based solvents. In addition, the nanocatalyst was easily separable, using an external magnet, and could be reused several times without significant loss of activity under the optimum reaction conditions.

The TiCl₄‐mediated [3+3] cyclocondensation of various 1,3‐bis(trimethylsilyloxy)buta‐1,3‐dienes with 1‐chloro‐1,1‐difluoro‐4‐(trimethylsilyloxy)pent‐3‐en‐2‐one provides a regioselective access to novel 6‐(chlorodifluoromethyl)salicylates (=6‐(chlorodifluoromethyl)‐2‐hydroxybenzoates) with very good regioselectivity. For selected products, it was demonstrated that the CF₂Cl group can be transformed to CF₂H and CF₂(Allyl) by free‐radical reactions.     

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.     

An acetatopalladium(II) complex with 1‐benzyl‐N‐(3,5‐di‐tert‐butylsalicylidene)piperidin‐4‐amine: Synthesis,structure and catalytic applications in Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of arylboronic acids with hydroxyaryl halides

The Schiff base 1‐benzyl‐N ‐(3,5‐di‐tert ‐butylsalicylidene)piperidin‐4‐amine (HL) and its acetatopalladium(II) complex having the formula [Pd(L)(OAc)] were synthesized. Both HL and [Pd(L)(OAc)] were characterized using elemental analysis and various spectroscopic (infrared, UV–visible, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR) and mass spectrometric measurements. The molecular structure of the complex was determined using X‐ray crystallographic analysis. In the complex, the pincer‐like NNO‐donor L⁻ and the monodenate OAc⁻ provide a distorted square‐planar N₂O₂ coordination environment around the metal centre. The physicochemical properties and the spectroscopic features of [Pd(L)(OAc)] are consistent with its molecular structure. The complex was found to be an effective catalyst for the Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reactions of hydroxyaryl halides with arylboronic acids in predominantly aqueous media. The reactions afforded hydroxybiaryl products in good to excellent yields with a wide substrate scope.     

Room‐temperature Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction with α‐diimine Pd(II) catalysts

An α‐diimine Pd(II) complex containing chiral sec‐phenethyl groups, {bis[N,N′‐(4‐methyl‐2‐sec‐phenethylphenyl)imino]‐2,3‐butadiene}dichloropalladium (rac‐ C1 ), was synthesized and characterized. rac‐ C1 was applied as an efficient catalyst for the Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction between various aniline halides and arylboronic acid in PEG‐400–H₂O at room temperature. Among a series of aniline halides, rac‐ C1 did not catalyze the cross‐coupling of aniline chlorides and fluorides but efficiently catalyzed the cross‐coupling of aniline bromides and iodides with phenylboronic acid. The catalytic activity reduced slightly with increasing steric hindrance of the aniline bromides. The complexes {bis[N,N′‐(4‐fluoro‐2,6‐diphenylphenyl)imino]‐2,3‐butadiene}dichloropalladium and {bis[N,N′‐(4‐fluoro‐2,6‐diphenylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene}dichloropalladium were also found to be efficient catalysts for the reaction.

A series of ordered mesoporous organic–inorganic hybrid material was designed by using the amine‐functionalized SBA‐15 (PdX₂@SBA‐15/N_Y, Y = 1, 2) as solid support for palladium complexes. Among them, the Pd(OAc)₂/ethylenediamine complex encapsulated into SBA‐15 (Pd(OAc)₂@SBA‐15/PrEn or Pd(OAc)₂@SBA‐15/PrNHEtNH₂) exhibits higher activity and selectivity toward Suzuki cross‐coupling reaction under aerobic conditions and water solvent mixture. The SBA‐15/PrEn supported palladium pre‐catalyst could be separated easily from reaction products and used repetitively several times, showing its superiority over homogeneous catalysts for industrial and chemical applications.

Oxygen‐Promoted Suzuki–Miyaura Reaction for Efficient Construction of Biaryls

As one of the most powerful and versatile methods for the construction of carbon–carbon bonds, the Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction has attracted great attention over the past three decades. In recent years, a huge amount of interest has been focused on the development of ligand‐free Suzuki–Miyaura reaction systems, which have the advantages of low cost, mild reaction conditions, and easy operation. So far, a number of ligand‐free Suzuki–Miyaura reaction systems have been developed by using simple palladium salts, nanopalladium, or supported palladium catalysts. In this account, we will review our recent research on the oxygen‐promoted ligand‐free Suzuki–Miyaura reaction. Interestingly, the oxygen‐promoting effect has been observed in different reaction media, including polyethylene glycol, organic/water mixed solvents and pure water. The oxygen‐promoted reaction systems demonstrate high efficiency for the construction of biaryls.
