Palladium-Catalyzed Synthesis of Symmetrical Biaryls Under Microwave Irradiation and Conventional Heating

The activity of the [Pd{C₆H₄(CH₂N(CH₂Ph)₂)}(µ-Br)]₂ complex was investigated in the synthesis of symmetrical biaryls under both conventional and microwave irradiation conditions, and their results were compared. This complex is efficient, stable, and not sensitive to air or moisture and is a catalyst for the homo-coupling reaction of aryl iodides, bromides, and even chlorides. The products were produced in excellent yields in short reaction times using a catalytic amount of [Pd{C₆H₄(CH₂N(CH₂Ph)₂)(µ-Br)]₂ complex in N-methylpyrolidine (NMP) at 130 °C. In comparison to conventional heating conditions, the reactions under microwave irradiation gave better yields in shorter reaction times.     

Homo-Coupling of Terminal Alkynes Using a Simple,Cheap Ni(dppe)Cl2/Ag2O Catalyst System

A simple Ni(dppe)Cl₂/Ag₂O combination has been established as an efficient catalyst system for the homo-coupling of aromatic terminal alkynes. This reaction proceeds under mild conditions and can be applied to alkynone substrates. Various aromatic 1,3-diynes were obtained in good to excellent yields.     

Reduced graphene oxide supported copper oxide nanocomposites: An efficient heterogeneous and reusable catalyst for the synthesis of ynones, 1,3-diynes and 1,5-benzodiazepines in one-pot under sustainable reaction conditions

A greener and efficient method for the synthesis of ynones and 1,3-diynes using copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) doped reduced graphene oxide (CuO@rGO) catalyst under palladium, ligand and solvent free conditions have been developed. The catalyst was subsequently utilized for the synthesis of biologically active 1,5-benzodiazepines in one pot via sequential addition of acyl chlorides, terminal alkynes and o-phenylenediamines. The methodology initially involves in situ formation of ynones which react with o-phenylenediamines in presence of ethanol to afford a wide variety of benzodiazepines. Mild reaction conditions, good to an excellent yield of the products, cheap and recyclable catalyst make this methodology environmentally benign and sustainable.

A Reductive homo-coupling polymerization of aromatic diisocyanates promoted by samarium iodide

The selective reductive homo-coupling polymerization of aromatic diisocyanates via one-electron transfer promoted by samarium iodide in the presence of hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) produced the corresponding poly(oxamide)s ( 1 ) nearly quantitatively. The ob-tained polymers were insoluble in common organic solvents. The alkylation of 1 with methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide provided the highly soluble alkylated polymer in good yields. In either case, the alkylation was almost complete, and both N-and O-alkylation proceeded. The ratio of N-and O-methylation was found to be 64 : 36 by ¹H-NMR spectrum, and that of N- and O-allylation was 3 : 1 from ¹³C-NMR analysis. The present polymerization system could be applied to a variety of diisocyanates, including diphenylmethanediisocyanate (MDI), tolylene 2,6-diisocyanate (TDI), 2,6-naphthyl diisocyanate (NDI) and o-tolidine diisocyanate (TODI). The molecular weights of the polymers were estimated by GPC and found to be 2000–9000. The TGA measurement of the corresponding polymers showed T_d10 at 248–320°C. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Homo-coupling of Aryl Iodide and Bromide Catalyzed by Immobilized Palladium with a Bidentate Nitrogen Ligand

The immobilized palladium onto organic‐inorganic hybrid material, which contains bidentate nitrogen ligands, was a very effective catalyst for homo‐coupling of aryl iodide and bromide. The protocol involved the use of N,N‐dimethylacetamide as a solvent, and n‐tributylamine as a base. The reaction generated the corresponding homo‐coupling products in good to excellent yields at low catalyst loading (0.20 mol%). Furthermore, the silica‐supported palladium catalyst could be recovered and recycled by a simple filtration of the reaction solution and used for five consecutive trials without loss of its activity.
