Carbonylative Suzuki coupling and alkoxycarbonylation of aryl halides using palladium supported on phosphorus‐doped porous organic polymer as an active and robust catalyst

Developing highly active catalysts with the combined advantages of molecular and solid catalysis is considered as the “Holy Grail” in the area of catalysis research. Herein, a phosphorus‐doped porous polymer‐immobilized palladium was successfully developed as an efficient, robust, and recyclable catalyst for the carbonylative Suzuki coupling and alkoxycarbonylation reactions of aryl halides. Rather than just as an immobilizing molecular catalyst, palladium supported on phosphorus‐doped porous organic polymer exhibits even better catalytic performances than that of its analogue homogeneous catalysts in both carbonylation reactions. Moreover, the catalyst can be easily separated and reused for at least 5 times without significant loss in reactivity. Importantly, the catalyst was highly stable under carbonylation reaction conditions, and no palladium nanoparticle was observed even after the 5th reuse.

An efficient heterogeneous Pd catalytic system has been developed, based on immobilization of Pd nanoparticles (PNPs) on a silica‐bonded propylamine–cyanuric–cysteine (SiO₂–pA–Cyan–Cys) substrate. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, FT‐IR, N₂ adsorption analysis (BET), TGA and inductively coupled plasma/atomic emission spectroscopy, and catalytic activity of this catalyst was investigated in the Suzuki and Sonogashira cross‐coupling reactions. The catalysts showed excellent performance in these two reactions, including various aryl halide derivatives (except aryl chloride derivatives) with phenylboronic acid and phenylacetylene under green conditions. Moreover, the catalyst was recycled for several runs without any significant loss of catalytic activity. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Tetraphosphine/palladium catalysed Suzuki cross-coupling reactions of aryl halides with alkylboronic acids

Through the use of [PdCl(C₃H₅)]₂/cis,cis,cis-1,2,3,4-tetrakis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)cyclopentane as a catalyst, a range of aryl bromides and chlorides undergoes Suzuki cross-coupling with alkylboronic acids in good yields. Several alkyl substituents such as ethyl, n-butyl, n-octyl, isobutyl or 2,2-dimethylpropyl on the alkylboronic acids have been successfully used. The functional group tolerance on the aryl halide is remarkable; substituents such as fluoro, methyl, methoxy, acetyl, formyl, benzoyl, nitro or nitrile are tolerated. Furthermore, this catalyst can be used at low loading, even for reactions of sterically hindered aryl bromides.     

The controllable preparation of electrospun carbon fibers supported Pd nanoparticles catalyst and its application in Suzuki and Heck reactions

The palladium nanoparticles/carbon nanofibers(Pd NPs/CNFs) catalyst was prepared by the electrospinning method, the hydrazine hydrate solution reduction in an ice bath environment, the high temperature carbonization. The catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), fieldemission scanning electron microscope(FE-SEM), and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The nanofibers are not cross-linked and arranged in order. The surface of Pd NPs/CNFs is smooth, and it can be observed that a large number of particles were loaded and well-dispersed in carbon fiber matrix, and the particle distribution is uniform. The activity center of catalyst is Pd(0). The Pd NPs/CNFs exhibited a high efficiency, good reusability and stability in the Suzuki and Heck reactions. It can be used for at least five consecutive runs without significant loss of its catalytic activity. The good recyclability of Pd NPs/CNFs provides a way to greatly reduce the cost of the catalyst.
