Furthermore, an interesting effect of acetic acid as an additive is uncovered that facilitates catalyst activation.     

Zirconium oxide complex anchored on boehmite nanoparticles as highly reusable organometallic catalyst for C–S and C–O coupling reactions

Boehmite nanoparticles were prepared by a simple and inexpensive procedure in water using commercially available materials without inert atmosphere. Then, the surface of the boehmite nanoparticles was modified using 3‐mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane and subsequently zirconium oxide was supported on the modified surface. Zirconium oxide supported on boehmite nanoparticles (Pr.S‐ZrO@boehmite) was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and inductively coupled plasma technique. The catalytic application of Pr.S‐ZrO@boehmite was studied in C–O and C–S coupling reactions for synthesis of valuable compounds such as ether and sulfide derivatives. All products were obtained in good to excellent yields and the catalyst could be recovered and reused several times without significant loss of catalytic efficiency. Furthermore, zirconium oxide is rarely used as catalyst for cross‐coupling reactions.     

Dual activation in a homolytic coupling reaction promoted by an enantioselective dinuclear vanadium(IV) catalyst

A new concept of dual activation catalysis in homolytic coupling reaction of 2-naphthol derivatives is described. The dinuclear vanadium(IV) catalyst (R,S,S)-1a promotes the oxidative coupling reaction of 2-naphthol derivatives with high reactivity and enantioselectivity. This dual activation mechanism is supported by the fact that the reaction rate of oxidative coupling of 2-naphthol promoted by the (R,S,S)-1a is 48 times faster than that of the mononuclear complex (S)-3 and a lower catalyst loading of (R,S,S)-1a shows higher catalyst efficiency both in enantioselectivity and chemical yield.     

Immobilized Pd on a NHC functionalized metal–organic framework MIL-101(Cr): an efficient heterogeneous catalyst in Suzuki−Miyaura coupling reaction in water

A novel Pd−NHC functionalized metal–organic framework (MOF) based on MIL-101(Cr) was synthesized and used as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst in the C-C bond formation reactions. Using this heterogeneous Pd catalyst system, the Suzuki−Miyaura coupling reaction was accomplished well in water, and coupling products were obtained in good to excellent yields in short reaction time. The Pd−NHC−MIL-101(Cr) was characterized using some different techniques, including Fourier transform-infrared, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma and elemental analysis. The microscopic techniques showed the discrete octahedron structure of MIL-101(Cr), which is also stable after chemical modification process to prepare the catalyst system. The TEM images of the catalyst showed the existence of palladium nanoparticles immobilized in the structure of the catalyst, while no reducing agent was used. It seems that the NHC groups and imidazolium moieties in the structure of the MOF can reduce Pd (II) to Pd (0) species. This modified MOF substrate can also prevent aggregation of Pd nanoparticles, resulting in high stability of them in organic transformation. The Pd−NHC−MIL-101(Cr) catalyst system could be simply extracted from the reaction mixture, providing an efficient synthetic method for the synthesis of biaryls derivatives using the aforementioned coupling reaction. The Pd−NHC−MIL-101(Cr) catalyst could be recycled in this organic reaction with almost consistent catalytic efficiency.

Choline chloride-urea deep eutectic solvent as an efficient media for the synthesis of propargylamines via organocuprate intermediate

A facile method for the synthesis of various propargylamines derivatives with different structural parts has been reported. The reaction has consisted of one-pot coupling between aldehydes, secondary amines and terminal alkynes using CuCl as a catalyst and choline chloride/urea DES as a cheap and biocompatible reaction media.

General and Mild Ni0‐Catalyzed α‐Arylation of Ketones Using Aryl Chlorides

A general methodology for the α‐arylation of ketones using a nickel catalyst has been developed. The new well‐defined [Ni(IPr*)(cin)Cl] ( 1 c ) pre‐catalyst showed great efficiency for this transformation, allowing the coupling of a wide range of ketones, including acetophenone derivatives, with various functionalised aryl chlorides. This cinnamyl‐based Ni–N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex has demonstrated a different behaviour to previously reported NHC‐Ni catalysts. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest a Ni⁰/Ni^II catalytic cycle to be at play.     

Nanoporous phenanthroline polymer locked Pd as highly efficient catalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura Coupling reaction at room temperature

Because of the intrinsic advantages, Suzuki coupling reactions have been one of the most popular coupling reactions in organic synthesis, however developing a high-performance heterogeneous catalyst for Suzuki coupling reactions in aqueous media at low temperature (e.g. room temperature) is still a challenge. Herein, a heterogeneous catalyst with coordinated Pd as active site and a designed conjugated phenanthroline based porous polymer (CPP) as support was fabricated. Systematically investigation on CPP support by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N₂ adsorption–desorption isotherm and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) show that the derived CPP catalyst support owns a porous structure, moderately good surface area (141 m²/g) and an excellent thermal stability. As a heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of biphenyl derivatives via Suzuki coupling, Pd/CPP achieves an excellent catalytic performance and recycling ability towards Suzuki reaction of various reactants at room temperature in ethanol-water medium.

[structure: see text]. The direct oxidative coupling of benzoic acids with internal alkynes proceeds efficiently in the presence of a rhodium/copper catalyst system under air to afford the corresponding isocoumarin derivatives. The reaction forms no wastes except for water. Under similar conditions, the aerobic coupling with acrylates also takes place smoothly to produce 7-vinylphthalide derivatives via divinylation and subsequent cyclization.

Suzuki Coupling of 2‐Chloroacrylonitrile,Methyl 2‐Chloroacrylate,or 2‐Chloroprop‐1‐en‐3‐ol with Arylboronic Acids Catalyzed by a Palladium‐Tetraphosphine Complex

The tetraphosphine all‐cis‐1,2,3,4‐tetrakis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)cyclopentane (Tedicyp) in combination with [Pd(C₃H₅)Cl]₂ affords an efficient catalyst of the coupling of 2‐chloroacrylonitrile with arylboronic acids. In the presence of 1% catalyst, the 2‐arylacrylonitrile derivatives were obtained in medium to good yields. A variety of substituents such as alkyl, methoxy, fluoro, trifluoromethyl, formyl, or nitro on the arylboronic acid are tolerated. The cross‐coupling reactions of methyl 2‐chloroacrylate with arylboronic acids give simple access to 2‐phenylacrylate derivatives, which are useful precursors for the synthesis of biologically active compounds such as ibuprofen, ketoprofen, and naproxen.     

Head-to-tail regioregular oligothiophene-functionalized 9,9'-spirobifluorene derivatives. 1. Synthesis

Two series of novel fully conjugated oligomers, oligothiophene-functionalized 9,9'-spirobifluorene derivatives, have been developed in this contribution. First, four 9,9'-spirobifluorene bromide derivatives (compounds 1a-d) are prepared through various synthetic routes. Oligothiophene derivatives with or without substituents are synthesized through the Grignard and Suzuki coupling reactions. The Negishi coupling reactions between oligothienylzinc chloride and various 9,9'-spirobifluorene bromides with Pd(PPh(3))(4) as catalyst successfully produce the desired compounds, unsubstituted oligothiophene-functionalized 9,9'-spirobifluorene derivatives, compounds 2 to 4a-d. Since the Negishi coupling reactions afford regioregularly head-to-tail (H-T) oligo(4-n-hexylthiophene)-functionalized 9,9'-spirobifluorene derivatives in poor yields, the Suzuki coupling reactions between sodium 4-n-hexylthienyl-2-boronate 8, and various 9,9'-spirobifluorene-based bromides 1a-d and 9-16 are employed to produce highly regioregular head-to-tail oligothiophene-functionalized 9,9'-spirobifluorene derivatives (compounds 5 to 7a-d) in very high yields. We also investigate the effect of solvents on the Suzuki coupling reactions. The structure and purity of all compounds are verified by FT-IR, (1)H and (13)C NMR, MS, and elemental analysis.     

Oxidatively induced glycosylation starting from hydroquinone glycosides

As a new class of glycosyl donors, hydroquinone glycosides can be used for glycosylation reactions. Their activation can be performed either electrochemically or under homogeneous chemical conditions. Conventionally, several glucosides were produced with yields greater than 77% using DDQ in CH₂Cl₂ as oxidizing agent. For electrolyses, glycosides of trimethylhydroquinone are preferably used because their low oxidation potentials allow the utilization of an undivided cell. The synthesis of the glycosyl donors was achieved with high efficiency by direct coupling of the phenols with peracetylated monosaccharides employing boron trifluoride etherate as the catalyst. The oxidation of hydroquinone derivatives can also be applied to the generation of other stabilized cations.     

Regiospecific synthesis of 6-halouridine derivatives: An effective method for coupling sterically hindered pyrimidine bases to ribose

6-Halouridine derivatives were synthesized regiospecifically through the coupling of N3-protected 6-halouracil to a ribose derivative. The combination of the silylating reagent N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide and Lewis acid catalyst trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate is unique in their ability to facilitate the coupling of sterically hindered pyrimidine bases to ribose to form nucleoside derivatives.

Copper-catalyzed synthesis of benzimidazoles via cascade reactions of o-haloacetanilide derivatives with amidine hydrochlorides

We have developed an efficient method for the synthesis of benzimidazoles via cascade reactions of o-haloacetoanilide derivatives with amidine hydrochlorides. The protocol uses 10 mol % CuBr as the catalyst, Cs2CO3 as the base, and DMSO as the solvent, and no ligand is required. The procedure proceeds via the sequential coupling of o-haloacetoanilide derivatives with amidines, hydrolysis of the intermediates (amides), and intramolecular cyclization with the loss of NH3 to give 2-substituted 1H-benzimidazoles.
