Highly efficient cyclopalladated ferrocenylimine catalyst for Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of 3-pyridylboronic pinacol ester with aryl halides

The Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of 3-pyridylboronic pinacol ester with aryl iodides, bromides and chlorides was carried out in DMF/H₂O (3/1, v/v) at 110 °C in the presence of cyclopalladated ferrocenylimine I and K₂CO₃ or CsCO₃ (1.0 equiv.) without the protection of inert gas. By using this method the synthesis of 3-pyridyl biaryl compounds could be readily achieved.     

An efficient catalyst for the synthesis of ortho-substituted biaryls by the Suzuki cross-coupling: Triphenylphosphine adduct of cyclopalladated ferrocenylimine

The air and moisture stable triphenylphosphine adduct of cyclopalladated ferrocenylimine 2 has been successfully used in palladium-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling for the synthesis of ortho-substituted biaryls in air. In the presence of 0.05 mol% of 2 as catalyst and 3 equivalent of CsF as base in dioxane at 100 °C, ortho-substituted biaryls were synthesized with moderate to high yields in the reactions of 2-methoxy-1-naphthylboronic acid with aryl halides, and 14 new ortho-substituted biaryls were obtained and characterized.     

Efficient Suzuki coupling of aryl chlorides catalyzed by tricyclohexylphosphine adducts of cyclopalladated ferrocenylimines

The air and moisture stable tricyclohexylphosphine (PCy₃) adducts of dimeric cyclopalladated ferrocenylimines 5 and 6 have been easily synthesized and successfully used in palladium-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling of aryl chlorides. Using 0.1 mol% of 6 in the presence of 2 equivalent of Cs₂CO₃ as base in dioxane at 100 °C provided coupled products in excellent yields in the reaction of non-activated and deactivated aryl chlorides with phenylboronic acid. For activated chlorides such as 4-chloronitrobenzene and 4-chloroacetophenone, the catalyst loadings could be lowered to 0.01 mol% without loss of activity.     

Synthesis, characterization and reactivity of palladium(II) compounds containing terdentate [Csp, N, S] or [Csp, N, S] ligands

The study of the reactivity of R---CH=N---(C₆H₄-2-SMe) with R=C₆H₅ or 2,4,6-Me₃-C₆H₂ with palladium(II) salts is reported. These studies have allowed us to prepare and characterize the coordination complexes: cis-[Pd{R---CH=N---(C₆H₄-2-SMe)}Cl₂] {R=C₆H₅ or 2,4,6-Me₃-C₆H₂} and the cyclopalladated compounds [Pd{C₆H₄---CH=N---(C₆H₄-2-SMe)}Cl] and [Pd{(2-CH₂-4,6-Me₂-C₆H₂)---CH=N---(C₆H₄-2-SMe)}Cl]. The X-ray crystal structures of the latter complexes reveal that the thioimines act as a [Csp², phenyl,N,S]⁻ and as a [Csp³, N,S]⁻ terdentate group, respectively. The study of the reactions of the cyclopalladated compounds with PPh₃ is also reported.

Synthesis, characterization, and applications in Heck and Suzuki coupling reactions of amphiphilic cyclopalladated ferrocenylimines

A series of novel amphiphilic ferrocenylimines and their cyclopalladated complexes of general formula [Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅)(η⁵-C₅H₄CR₁NR₂)] (R₁=H, R₂=C₁₂H₂₅-n4a, R₁=H, R₂=C₁₆H₃₃-n4b, R₁=CH₃, R₂=C₁₂H₂₅-n4c, R₁=CH₃, R₂=C₁₆H₃₃-n4d), [PdCl{[(η⁵-C₅H₅)]Fe[(η⁵-C₅H₃)CR₁NR₂]}]₂ (5a-d), [PdCl{[(η⁵-C₅H₅)]Fe[(η⁵-C₅H₃)-CR₁NR₂]}(PPh₃)] (6a-d), were prepared and characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ³¹P NMR, IR, HRMS, and elemental analysis. The crystal structures of 5c,d were determined by X-ray crystallography. These amphiphilic cyclopalladated complexes are thermally stable and insensitive to oxygen and moisture. The redox properties of 4a-d, 5a-d, 6a-d were also investigated using cyclic voltammetric technique. Compounds 5a-d, 6a-d displayed good activity in the Heck reaction of a variety of aryl halides with ethyl acrylate or styrene and the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of aryl bromides with phenylboronic acid in bulk solution. They are also suitable for formation of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films.

Solvent-free cyclopalladation on silica gel

Tertiary, secondary and primary benzylamines, as well as structurally different oxazolines readily reacted with Pd(OAc)₂ on silica gel to form cyclopalladated complexes containing a five or six-membered palladacycle with a (sp²)C-Pd or (sp³)C-Pd bond. The complexes were obtained in 45-98% yield, which is comparable with or exceeds the yields reported for preparation of the same compounds in solution. Aliphatic (sp³)C-H bond activation took place in the cyclopalladation of (S)-2-tert-butyl-4-phenyl-2-oxazoline on SiO₂ leading to the exclusive formation of the corresponding endo palladacycle, whereas two products were reported for the same reaction performed in AcOH.     

Organometallic emitting dyes: Palladium(II) nile red complexes

The Nile Red dye, H(NR), forms cyclometalated R₂-disubstituted-acetylacetonato square planar Pd(II) complexes (1-3; R = CH₃, CF₃, C₆H₅ respectively) whose photophysical properties were tested in cyclohexane, dichloromethane or methanol solutions. In cyclohexane 1-3 emit in the range 580-650 nm with a quantum yield ranging from 0.12 (R = CH₃) to 0.50 (R = CF₃) and lifetimes between 0.88 and 4.46 ns. These complexes form a new family of notably efficient red emitting organometallic dyes which could be of interest for practical applications.
