1‐(α‐Aminobenzyl)‐2‐naphthol as phosphine‐free ligand for Pd‐catalyzed Suzuki and one‐pot Wittig‐Suzuki reaction

Air stable and easily accessible, 1‐(α‐aminobenzyl)‐2‐naphthols are used as efficient phosphine‐free ligands in palladium‐catalyzed Suzuki reaction for a variety of substrates under conventional heating as well as ultrasonic conditions. Multi‐brominated aromatic substrates were successfully converted to corresponding arylated moieties with good conversion and selectivity. A novel one‐pot two‐step cascade reaction strategy involving Wittig and Suzuki reactions is developed for efficient synthesis of 4‐styryl biphenyls (C₆‐C₂‐C₆‐C₆ unit).

Synthesis of α‐(Fluorophenyl)pyridine by Palladium‐Catalyzed Cross‐Coupling Reaction

A series of α‐(fluoro‐substituted phenyl)pyridines have been synthesized by means of a palladium‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reaction between fluoro‐substituted phenylboronic acid and 2‐bromopyridine or its derivatives. The reactivities of the phenylboronic acids containing di‐ and tri‐fluoro substituents with α‐pyridyl bromide were investigated in different catalyst systems. Unsuccessful results were observed in the Pd/C and PPh₃ catalyst system due to phenylboronic acid containing electron‐withdrawing F atom(s). For the catalyst system of Pd(OAc)₂/PPh₃, the reactions gave moderate yields of 55% –80%, meanwhile, affording 10% –20% of dimerisation (self‐coupling) by‐products, but trace products were obtained in coupling with 2,4‐difluorophenylboronic acids because of steric hinderance. Pd(PPh₃)₄ was more reactive for boronic acids with sterically hindering F atom(s), and the coupling reactions gave good yields of 90% and 91% without any self‐coupling by‐product.

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.

Moreover, we demonstrated that p‐toluenesulfonic acid (TsOH) could serve as a surrogate to catalyze this transformation.     

4‐(4,6‐Dimethoxy‐1,3,5‐triazin‐2‐yl)‐4‐methylmorpholinium Toluene‐4‐sulfonate (DMT/NMM/TsO−) Universal Coupling Reagent for Synthesis in Solution

4‐(4,6‐Dimethoxy‐1,3,5‐triazin‐2‐yl)‐4‐methylmorpholinium toluene‐4‐sulfonate (DMT/NMM/TsO⁻), a representative member of the inexpensive and environmentally‐friendly N‐triazinylammonium family of sulfonates, has been found to be a very effective coupling reagent for the synthesis of amides, esters and peptides in solution. This study confirms the usefulness of DMT/NMM/TsO⁻ for peptide synthesis in solution, starting from Z‐, Fmoc‐, and Boc‐protected substrates as well as unnatural building blocks. Peptide synthesis with DMT/NMM/TsO⁻ produced high yields, with high crude product purity and low risk of racemization. In all cases, stoichiometric amounts of reagents were used and the standard synthetic procedure, without the need for time‐consuming optimization stages or expensive chromatographic purification. DMT/NMM/TsO⁻ was also found to be very useful for the synthesis of oligopeptides using a fragment coupling strategy.

The reaction of 2‐(aminomethyl)aniline with 2 equivalents of PPh₂Cl in the presence of Et₃N, proceeds in CH₂Cl₂ to give N,N′‐bis(diphenylphosphino)‐2‐(aminomethyl)aniline 1 in good yield. Oxidation of 1 with aqueous H₂O₂, elemental sulfur or gray selenium gave the corresponding oxide, sulfide and selenide dichalcogenides [Ph₂P(E)NHC₆H₄CH₂NHP(E)Ph₂] (E: O, 2a; S, 2b; Se, 2c), respectively. The reaction of [Ph₂PNHC₆H₄CH₂NHPPh₂] with PdCl₂(cod), PtCl₂(cod) and [Cu(MeCN)₄]PF₆ gave the corresponding chelate complexes, PdCl₂1, PtCl₂1 and [Cu(1)₂]PF₆. The new compounds were fully characterized by NMR, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The catalytic activity of the Pd(II) complex was tested in the Suzuki coupling and Heck reactions. The Pd(II) complex catalyzes the Suzuki coupling and Heck reaction, affording biphenyls and stilbenes respectively, in good yields. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

New route to synthesis of PVP‐stabilized palladium(0) nanoclusters and their enhanced catalytic activity in Heck and Suzuki cross‐coupling reactions

Herein we report a new method for the synthesis and characterization of PVP‐stabilized palladium(0) nanoclusters and their enhanced catalytic activity in Suzuki coupling and Heck reactions of aryl bromides with phenylboronic acid and styrene, respectively, under mild conditions. The PVP‐stabilized palladium(0) nanoclusters with a particle size of 4.5 ± 1.1 nm were prepared using a new method: refluxing a mixture of potassium tetrachloropalladate(II) and PVP in methanol at 80 °C for 1 h followed by reduction with sodium borohydride. Palladium(0) nanoclusters prepared in this way were stable in solution for weeks, could be isolated as solid materials and were characterized by TEM, XPS, UV–vis, and XRD techniques. The PVP‐stabilized palladium(0) nanoclusters were active catalysts in Heck and Suzuki coupling reactions of arylbromides with styrene and phenylboronic acid affording stilbenes and biphenyls, respectively, in high yield. Recycling experiments showed that PVP‐stabilized palladium(0) nanoclusters could be used five times with essentially no loss in activity in the Heck and Suzuki coupling reactions.

Palladium–S‐propyl‐2‐aminobenzothioate immobilized on Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles as catalyst for Suzuki and Heck reactions in water or poly(ethylene glycol)

A moisture‐ and air‐stable heterogenized palladium catalyst was synthesized by coordination of palladium with S‐propyl‐2‐aminothiobenzamide supported on Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles. The prepared nanocatalyst was characterized using Fourier transform infrared, energy‐dispersive X‐ray and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopies, X‐ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometry, transmission and scanning electron microscopies, dynamic laser scattering and thermogravimetric analysis. This catalyst could be dispersed homogeneously in water or poly(ethylene glycol) and further applied as an excellent nano‐organometal catalyst for Suzuki and Heck reactions. The catalyst was easily separated with the assistance of an external magnet from the reaction mixture and reused for several consecutive runs without significant loss of its catalytic efficiency or palladium leaching. The leaching of catalyst was examined using hot filtration and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. Also, the effects of various reaction parameters on the Suzuki and Heck reactions are discussed. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
