- Palladium catalyst systems for cross-coupling reactions of aryl chlorides and olefins
-
A detailed investigation into the influence of phosphines, additives, bases and solvents on the Heck coupling reaction of 4-trifluoromethyl-1-chlorobenzene (2) is presented. It is shown that a number of catalyst systems exist for efficient cross coupling of electron-deficient aryl chlorides with various olefins. Basicity and steric demand of the ligand are two factors which determine the success of the reaction. In addition the phosphine/palladium ratio, the correct type and amount of additive, and finally the use of an appropriate base and solvent are also important. The optimised reaction conditions are applied for the arylation of styrene, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate and N,N-dimethyl acrylic amide with various aryl chlorides.

- Preparation of palladium colloids in block copoloymer micelles and their use for the catalysis of the heck reaction
-
Colloidal dispersions of nanometer sized palladium colloids with very high stability were prepared in block copolymer micelles of polystyrene-b-poly-4-vinylpyridine and analyzed by electron microscopy and X-ray analysis. The resulting polymer/metal hybrids can easily be dissolved and handled in standard organic solvents such as toluene, tetrahydrofuran, and cyclohexane. They were successfully used for the Pd-catalyzed carbon-carbon coupling of aryl halides with alkenes (Heck reaction). Such block copolymer stabilized palladium colloids exhibit about the same activity as low molecular weight Pd complexes classically used for the Heck reaction, but show a much higher stability: in most reactions, the hybrids remain catalytically active even after 50000 turn-over cycles. Reaction rates were significantly controlled by the reactivity of the educts, but also respond to micelle architecture and dispersity of the palladium. Other advantages of the block copolymer stabilizer are that they are more simple and readily accessible than the phosphor-containing chelate, and that they dissolve even in 'simple' solvents such as toluene (instead of amidic solvents).

- Palladium nanoparticles generated from allylpalladium chloride in situ: A simple and highly efficient catalytic system for Mizoroki-Heck reactions
-
The Mizoroki-Heck reactions of aryl halides catalyzed by palladium nanoparticles generated in situ from a simple allyl palladium precursor were investigated in argon. The high turnover numbers of 9,300,000 have been obtained with 4-bromobenzonitrile as substrate and 3500 with 4-nitrochlorobenzene. When the reaction was performed in air, a low yield was given, but it could be improved obviously by addition of PEG-400. The main reason was that inactive Pd(II) species could be rapidly reduced to the active Pd(0) by PEG. In other word, the existence of air and PEG led to a synergistic effect which the oxidation by air prevents the aggregation of Pd NPs and the reduction by PEG maintains the high activity of Pd(0) species.

- Pd- and Ni-Pyridyl Complexes Deposited as Films for Suzuki-Miyaura and Mizoroki-Heck Cross Coupling Reactions
-
A pyridyl fluorene ligand, 2,7-bis(4-pyridyl)-9,9-diethylfluorene (1), has been synthesized by a simple route. The ability of the two linearly terminal pyridyl nitrogen atoms of 1 to coordinate with the Pd(II) or Ni(II) ions has enabled the use of 1 as a linking ligand in the preparation of (PdCl2/1) n, (Ni(NO3)2/1) n films, PdCl2/1 and Ni(NO3)2/1 complex. The resulting films and complexes were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer. The application of films and complexes as catalysts for Suzuki-Miyaura and Mizoroki-Heck reactions was carried out. (PdCl2/1) n films show high catalytic activity in the reactions with the Pd loading of ppm. (Ni(NO3)2/1) n multilayers as the active catalytic moieties for these reactions were investigated with very low Ni(II)-loading. Graphical Abstract: The (Pd or Ni/1) n multilayer films were used as high active catalysts for the C-C formation with extremely low M(II)-loading in ppm level.[Figure not available: see fulltext.]

(Equation Presented) Three selenium-ligated Pd(II) complexes were readily synthesized and shown to be extremely active catalysts for the Heck reaction of various aryl bromides, including deactivated and heterocyclic ones. The catalytic activity of the selenide-based Pd(II) complexes not only rivals but vastly outperforms that of the corresponding phosphorus and sulfur analogues. Practical advantages of the selenium-based catalysts include their straightforward synthesis and high activity in the absence of any additives as well as the enhanced stability of the selenide ligands toward air oxidation.

A highly efficient system composed of Pd-TPPTS [TPPTS: trisodium salt of tri(m-sulphonylphenyl)phosphine] and halogen-free ionic liquid ([Rmim][p-CH 3C6H4SO3], R = methyl, ethyl, n-butyl, n-hexyl, n-octyl, n-dodecyl) has been established for Heck coupling of aryl halides with styrene. Most of the investigated substrates could give the complete conversions (> 95%) with the catalyst of 1 mol% at 110 °C. The resulting products can be easily separated from the ionic liquids by simple liquid-liquid extraction, and the catalyst immobilized by ionic liquids can be consecutively run five times without significant loss in catalytic activity.

- An efficient Pd-NHC catalyst system in situ generated from Na2PdCl4 and PEG-functionalized imidazolium salts for Mizoroki-Heck reactions in water
-
Three PEG-functionalized imidazolium salts L1-L3 were designed and prepared from commercially available materials via a simple method. Their corresponding water soluble Pd-NHC catalysts, in situ generated from the imidazolium salts L1-L3 and Na2PdCl4 in water, showed impressive catalytic activity for aqueous Mizoroki-Heck reactions. The kinetic study revealed that the Pd catalyst derived from the imidazolium salt L1, bearing a pyridine-2-methyl substituent at the N3 atom of the imidazole ring, showed the best catalytic activity. Under the optimal conditions, a wide range of substituted alkenes were achieved in good to excellent yields from various aryl bromides and alkenes with the catalyst TON of up to 10,000.

- Synthesis, crystal structure, and catalytic activity of bridged-bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) palladium(II) complexes in selective Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling reactions
-
A series of three 1,3-propanediyl bridged bis(N-heterocyclic carbene)palladium(II) complexes (Pd-BNH1, Pd-BNH2, and Pd-BNH3), with + I effect order of the N-substituents of the ligand (isopropyl > benzyl > methoxyphenyl), was the subject of a spectroscopic, structural, computational and catalytic investigation. The bis(NHC)PdBr2 complexes were evaluated in Mizoroki-Heck coupling reactions of aryl bromides with styrene or acrylate derivatives and showed high catalytic efficiency to produce diarylethenes and cinnamic acid derivatives. The X-ray structure of the most active palladium complex Pd-BNH3 shows that the Pd(II) center is bonded to the two carbon atoms of the bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) and two bromide ligands in cis position, resulting in a distorted square planar geometry. The NMR data of Pd-BNH3 are consistent with a single chair-boat rigid conformer in solution with no dynamic behavior of the 8-membered ring palladacycle in the temperature range 25–120 °C. The catalytic activities of three Pd-bridged bis(NHC) complexes in the Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling reactions were not found to have a direct correlation with +I effect order of the N-substituents of the ligand. However, a direct correlation was found between the DFT calculated absolute softness of the three complexes with their respective catalytic activity. The highest calculated softness, in the case of Pd-BNH3, is expected to favor the coordination steps of both the soft aryl bromides and alkenes in the Heck catalytic cycle.

- Structural Effect of Pincer Pd(II)–ONO Complexes Modified with Acylthiourea on Sizes of the In Situ Generated Pd Nanoparticles During Heck Coupling Reaction
-
Abstract: The Pd nanoparticles generated in situ from Pd–pincer complexes catalyzed Heck coupling reaction. For this purpose, new Pd(II)–ONO pincer complexes (1–4) containing acylthiourea ancillary ligand were obtained by treating [Pd(ONO)(CH3CN)] with the respective N-substituted carbamothioyl benzamide ligand (L1–L4). Formation of these complexes was confirmed by UV–Visible, FT-IR, NMR and mass spectroscopic techniques. The sizes of in situ formed Pd nanoparticles were greatly affected by the substituent in ancillary ligand, which in turn influenced their catalytic activity towards Heck coupling reaction. The in situ formed Pd nanoparticles during Heck reaction were removed from the reaction medium and analyzed using HR-TEM to estimate the sizes of the Pd nanoparticles. Complex [Pd(ONO)((N-benzylcarbamothioyl)benzamide)] (1) which does not possess any substituent on the benzyl moiety of acylthiourea produced the smallest Pd nanoparticles with the average particle size of 3.7?nm. Hence, complex 1 showed the utmost catalytic activity. With complex 1, 51–99% of conversion was observed during Heck coupling reaction of styrene with various aryl halides. XPS results confirmed that the recovered black particles were Pd(0). A reasonable recyclability results were achieved by these in situ generated Pd nanoparticles.

- A highly active multi-usable palladium pyridylfluorene film-based catalyst for C-C cross-coupling reactions
-
The two terminal pyridyl nitrogen atoms of 2,7-bis(4-pyridyl)fluorene (1) were coordinated to Pd(II) ions to give self-assembled, multilayer films using the layer-by-layer (LbL) method. The films were prepared by alternately dipping the substrate, pre-coated with a polyethyleneimine layer, in aqueous solutions of PdCl2 and ethanol solutions of 1. The resulting films were characterized using UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). UV-visible spectra and SEM images show almost uniform growth of the film in a near ideal LbL manner. AFM images show that nanostructured aggregates of Pd(II) complexes form on the surface. With an increase in the number of Pd(II)/1 bilayers, more particulate aggregates are distributed on the surface. When released from the substrate, the Pd(II) complex nanostructure shows high catalytic activity for Suzuki-Miyaura and Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling reactions. The catalyst loading is as low as 9.1 × 10-3 mol% Pd, as measured using ICP-AES, and high turnover numbers of up to 1.08 × 104 are obtained.

- Electrochemical Proton Reduction over Nickel Foam for Z-Stereoselective Semihydrogenation/deuteration of Functionalized Alkynes
-
Selective reduction strategies based on abundant-metal catalysts are very important in the production of chemicals. In this paper, a method for the electrochemical semihydrogenation and semideuteration of alkynes to form Z-alkenes was developed, using a simple nickel foam as catalyst and H3O+ or D3O+ as sources of hydrogen or deuterium. Good yields and excellent stereoselectivities (Z/E up to 20 : 1) were obtained under very mild reaction conditions. The reaction proceeded with terminal and nonterminal alkynes, and also with alkynes containing easily reducible functional groups, such as carbonyl groups, as well as aryl chlorides, bromides, and even iodides. The nickel-foam electrocatalyst could be recycled up to 14 times without any change in its catalytic properties.

- Room temperature Z-selective hydrogenation of alkynes by hemilabile and non-innocent (NNN)Co(ii) catalysts
-
Hemilabile and phosphine-free quinolinyl-based NNN-type pincer and non-pincer cobalt complexes were developed for the room temperature catalytic transfer semi-hydrogenation of alkynes to Z-alkenes. Treatment of the quinolinyl-amine ligand, [C9H6N(NH)CH2CH2NEt2] (QNNNCH2NEt2)-H with CoX2 afforded the pincer complexes κ3-(QNNNCH2NEt2)CoX2 (X = Cl, Br), whereas, the quinolinyl-amide ligand, [C9H6N(NH)C(O)CH2NEt2] (QNNNC(O)NEt2)-H gave chelate anionic complexes κ2-(QNN)CoX2(NC(O)HNEt2) (X = Cl, Br). The well-defined anionic non-pincer cobalt complexes efficiently catalyzed the semi-hydrogenation of diverse alkynes to deliver highly chemoselective and stereodivergent Z-alkenes at room temperature. This hydrogenation exhibited broad substrate scope with the tolerance of sensitive functional groups, such as -Cl, -Br, -I, -OH, -NH2, -COOMe, and pyridinyl, employing a stable and user-friendly ammonia borane hydrogen source.

- Palladium Complexes with Phenoxy- And Amidate-Functionalized N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands Based on 3-Phenylimidazo[1,5- a]pyridine: Synthesis and Catalytic Application in Mizoroki-Heck Coupling Reactions with Ortho-Substituted Aryl Chlorides
-
Mononuclear and tetranuclear palladium complexes with functionalized "abnormal"N-heterocyclic carbene (aNHC) ligands based on 3-phenylimidazo[1,5-a]pyridine were synthesized. All of the new complexes were structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The new complexes were applied in the Mizoroki-Heck coupling reaction of aryl chlorides with alkenes in neat n-tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB). The mononuclear palladium complex with a tridentate phenoxy- and amidate-functionalized aNHC ligand displayed activity superior to that of the palladium complex with a bidentate amidate-functionalized aNHC ligand. The new tetranuclear complex with the tridentate ligand displayed the best activities, capable of the activation of deactivated aryl chlorides as substrates with a low Pd atom loading. Even challenging sterically demanding ortho-substituted aryl chlorides were successfully utilized as substrates. The studies revealed that the robustness of the catalyst precursor is crucial in delivering high catalytic activities. Also, the promising use of tetranuclear palladium complexes with functionalized aNHC ligands as the catalyst precursors in the Mizoroki-Heck coupling reaction in neat TBAB was demonstrated.

- Mizoroki-Heck Reaction of Unstrained Aryl Ketones via Ligand-Promoted C-C Bond Olefination

Mizoroki-Heck reaction of unstrained aryl ketone with acrylate/styrene is accomplished via palladium-catalyzed ligand-promoted C-C bond cleavage. Various (hetero)aryl ketones are compatible in the reaction, affording the alkene product in good to excellent yields. Further applications in the late-stage olefination of some drugs, natural products, and fragrance-derived aryl ketones demonstrate the synthetic utility of this protocol. By employing ketone as both the directing group and the leaving group, 1,2-bifunctionalization is achieved via sequential ortho-C-H alkylation/ipso-Heck olefination.

PVC-NHC-Pd(0) catalyst was prepared and exerted to highly cis-selective semihydrogenation of diarylacetylene using formic acid as hydrogen source under mild condition. The as-prepared catalyst was well characterized by various techniques such as FT-IR, 1H NMR, XRD, SEM, EDX, TEM, XPS, and TGA. The catalyst can be easily recovered and recycled without loss of its activity and selectivity owing to the metal-ligand interaction between Pd(0) with polymeric NHC ligands. This protocol is an attractive alternative of the classical Lindlar's hydrogenation.

- Mesoporous silica nanospheres supported atomically precise palladium nanocluster: Highly efficient and recyclable catalysts in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol and Heck reactions
-
Atomically precise palladium nanoclusters show great potential applications in the field of catalysis owing to its ultrasmall size and precise structure. This work, we report the mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) supported [Pd3Cl(PPh3)3(PPh2)2]Cl catalysts (denoted as Pd3Cl/MSNs) for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol and Heck coupling reactions of iodobenzene and styrenes. High uniform MSNs, with average diameter ≈110 nm, were prepared by sol–gel method, followed by Pd nanoclusters immobilization into the pore of MSNs. The MSNs supported Pd nanoclusters were well characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and diffuse reflectance optical spectrum. The results indicated that Pd3Cl nanoclusters after immobilized into the pores of MSNs are intact and possess good dispersibility. The catalytic performance of as-prepared nanocomposites was evaluated by the reduction of 4-nitrophenol and Heck reactions. The 4-nitrophenol could be completely conversion to 4-aminophenol within 6?min. Meanwhile, the as-prepared Pd3Cl/MSNs exhibit excellent catalytic performance in the Heck reactions between iodobenzenes and styrenes. The high catalytic activity of Pd3Cl/MSNs could be attributed to the large surface area and unique geometric structure of as-prepared Pd nanoclusters. More importantly, the catalysts could be easily recycled by centrifugation and shows excellent reusability.

- Non-Chelate-Assisted Palladium-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative Heck Reaction of Fluorobenzenes and Other Arenes: When Does the C?H Activation Need Help?
-
The pyridone fragment in the ligand [2, 2’-bipyridin]-6(1H)-one (bipy-6-OH) enables the oxidative Heck reaction of simple arenes with oxygen as the sole oxidant and no redox mediator. Arenes with either electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups can be functionalized in this way. Experimental data on the reaction with toluene as the model arene shows that the C?H activation step is turnover limiting and that the ligand structure is crucial to facilitate the reaction, which supports the involvement of the pyridone fragment in the C?H activation step. In the case of fluoroarenes, the alkenylation of mono and 1,2-difluoro benzenes requires the presence of bipy-6-OH. In contrast, this ligand is detrimental for the alkenylation of 1,3-difluoro, tri, tetra and pentafluoro benzenes which can be carried out using just [Pd(OAc)2]. This correlates with the acidity of the fluoroarenes, the most acidic undergoing easier C?H activation so other steps of the reaction such as the coordination-insertion of the olefin become kinetically important for polyfluorinated arenes. The use of just a catalytic amount of sodium molybdate as a base proved to be optimal in all these reactions. (Figure presented.).

- Electro-mediated PhotoRedox Catalysis for Selective C(sp3)–O Cleavages of Phosphinated Alcohols to Carbanions
-
We report a novel example of electro-mediated photoredox catalysis (e-PRC) in the reductive cleavage of C(sp3)?O bonds of phosphinated alcohols to alkyl carbanions. As well as deoxygenations, olefinations are reported which are E-selective and can be made Z-selective in a tandem reduction/photosensitization process where both steps are photoelectrochemically promoted. Spectroscopy, computation, and catalyst structural variations reveal that our new naphthalene monoimide-type catalyst allows for an intimate dispersive precomplexation of its radical anion form with the phosphinate substrate, facilitating a reactivity-determining C(sp3)?O cleavage. Surprisingly and in contrast to previously reported photoexcited radical anion chemistries, our conditions tolerate aryl chlorides/bromides and do not give rise to Birch-type reductions.

Selective direct ruthenium-catalyzed semihydrogenation of diaryl alkynes to the corresponding E-alkenes has been achieved using alcohols as the hydrogen source. The method employs a simple ruthenium catalyst, does not require external ligands, and affords the desired products in > 99% NMR yield in most cases (up to 93% isolated yield). Best results were obtained using benzyl alcohol as the hydrogen donor, although biorenewable alcohols such as furfuryl alcohol could also be applied. In addition, tandem semihydrogenation-alkylation reactions were demonstrated, with potential applications in the synthesis of resveratrol derivatives.

- cis-Selective Transfer Semihydrogenation of Alkynes by Merging Visible-Light Catalysis with Cobalt Catalysis
-
Herein, the first example of visible-light-driven, cobalt-catalyzed transfer semihydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes is reported. It is carried out by using Ir[dF(CF3)ppy]2(dtbbpy)]PF6 as photosensitizer, CoBr2/n-Bu3P as proton-reducing catalyst, and i-Pr2NEt/AcOH as the hydrogen source. Under the established catalytic system, the semihydrogenation proceeds with Z as the major selectivity and with inhibition of over-reduction. Under mild reaction conditions, both internal and terminal alkynes, as well as reducible functional groups such as halogen, cyano, and ester, are tolerated. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed the dual role of the photosensitizer in initiating the reaction via a single-electron transfer process and controlling the stereoselectivity via an energy transfer process.

- A Simple Nickel Catalyst Enabling an E-Selective Alkyne Semihydrogenation

Stereoselective alkyne semihydrogenations are attractive approaches to alkenes, which are key building blocks for synthesis. With regards to the most atom-economic reducing agent dihydrogen (H2), only few catalysts for the challenging E-selective alkyne semihydrogenation have been disclosed, each with a unique substrate scope profile. Here, we show that a commercially available nickel catalyst facilitates the E-selective alkyne semihydrogenation of a wide variety of substituted internal alkynes. This results in a simple and broadly applicable overall protocol to stereoselectively access E-alkenes employing H2, which could serve as a general method for synthesis.

-
The invention relates to a half-sandwich ruthenium complex containing ortho-carborane alkyl benzothiazole as well as preparation and application thereof. The preparation method specifically comprisesthe following steps: i) adding an organic mixed solution of n-butyl lithium into an organic mixed solution of ortho-carborane at the temperature of -70 DEG C to-80 DEG C, then heating to the room temperature, and continuously reacting for 30-60 minutes; ii) adding bromo-benzothiazole, and carrying out a reaction for 6-8 hours at a room temperature; and iii) adding a binuclear ruthenium compound, reacting at the room temperature for 3-5 hours, and separating to obtain the half-sandwich ruthenium complex.

- Synthesis of Stilbenes by Rhodium-Catalyzed Aerobic Alkenylation of Arenes via C-H Activation
-
Arene alkenylation is commonly achieved by late transition metal-mediated C(sp2)-C(sp2) cross-coupling, but this strategy typically requires prefunctionalized substrates (e.g., with halides or pseudohalides) and/or the presence of a directing group on the arene. Transition metal-mediated arene C-H activation and alkenylation offers an alternative method to functionalize arene substrates. Herein, we report a rhodium-catalyzed oxidative arene alkenylation from arenes and styrenes to prepare stilbene and stilbene derivatives. The reaction is successful with several functional groups on both the arene and the olefin including fluoride, chloride, trifluoromethyl, ester, nitro, acetate, cyanide, and ether groups. Reactions of monosubstituted arenes are selective for alkenylation at the meta and para positions, generally with approximately 2:1 selectivity, respectively. Resveratrol and (E)-1,2,3-trimethoxy-5-(4-methoxystyryl)benzene (DMU-212) are synthesized by this single-step approach in high yield. Comparison with palladium catalysis showed that rhodium catalysis is more selective for meta-functionalization for monosubstituted arenes and that the Rh catalysis has better tolerance of halogen groups.

- Potassium trimethylsilanolate enables rapid, homogeneous suzuki-miyaura cross-coupling of boronic esters
-
Herein, a mild and operationally simple method for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of boronic esters is described. Central to this advance is the use of the organic-soluble base, potassium trimethylsilanolate, which allows for a homogeneous, anhydrous cross-coupling. The coupling proceeds at a rapid rate, often furnishing products in quantitative yield in less than 5 min. By applying this method, a >10-fold decrease in reaction time was observed for three published reactions which required >48 h to reach satisfactory conversion.

- Multidentate N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes of Nickel and Palladium: Structural Analysis and Catalytic Application in Mizoroki–Heck Coupling Reaction
-
Two series of electron-rich metal (Ni and Pd) complexes, namely a pyridine-coordinated tridentate NHC/amidate/phenoxy metal complex and a tetradentate complex bearing an extra pyridyl group, were synthesized. Two carbene moieties, imidazole-based and benzimidazole-based NHCs, were also incorporated into the ligand backbones. Seven of the new complexes were structurally characterized and comparative structural analysis revealed that the tetradentate complex with a flanking pyridyl side-arm was less distorted, leading to chelation-assisted stronger NHC coordination and hence a shorter metal–carbene bond. The catalytic activities of the two sets of palladium complexes for the Mizoroki–Heck coupling reaction were investigated. The comparative data showed that despite the higher thermal stability and the presence of the flanking hemilabile pyridyl side-arm which provided unsaturation to the metal center, the catalytic performance was slightly inferior to that of the tridentate palladium complex with a “throw-away” pyridine ligand. The tridentate palladium complex with the benzimidazole-based NHC moiety was the most effective catalyst, allowing the utilization of a range of aryl chlorides including deactivated substrates with a low 0.2 mol-% Pd loading in molten n-tetrabutylammonium bromide.

- Electro-Olefination—A Catalyst Free Stereoconvergent Strategy for the Functionalization of Alkenes
-
Conventional methods carrying out C(sp2)?C(sp2) bond formations are typically mediated by transition-metal-based catalysts. Herein, we conceptualize a complementary avenue to access such bonds by exploiting the potential of electrochemistry in combination with organoboron chemistry. We demonstrate a transition metal catalyst-free electrocoupling between (hetero)aryls and alkenes through readily available alkenyl-tri(hetero)aryl borate salts (ATBs) in a stereoconvergent fashion. This unprecedented transformation was investigated theoretically and experimentally and led to a library of functionalized alkenes. The concept was then carried further and applied to the synthesis of the natural product pinosylvin and the derivatization of the steroidal dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) scaffold.

- Palladium-Catalyzed Mizoroki-Heck Reaction of Nitroarenes and Styrene Derivatives
-
We have developed a Mizoroki-Heck reaction of nitroarenes with alkenes under palladium catalysis. The use of a Pd/BrettPhos catalyst promoted the alkenylation, whereas other catalysts led to a decrease in the product yield. In addition to nitroarenes, nitroheteroarenes were also applicable to the present reaction. The combination of a nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) with the denitrative alkenylation produced a multifunctionalized arene in a one-pot operation.

- Mizoroki-Heck Cross-Coupling of Bromobenzenes with Styrenes: Another Example of Pd-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling with Potential Safety Hazards
-
The potential safety hazards associated with the Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling of bromobenzenes with styrenes were evaluated. The heat output from the reaction in various solvents was comparable in a variety of solvents; however, the rate of reaction was significantly faster in the presence of water. Thermal stability evaluation of the postreaction mixtures in DMSO and 3:1 DMSO/water by differential scanning calorimetry indicated that the onset temperatures of thermal decomposition were significantly lower than that of neat DMSO. Evaluation of the substrate scope revealed that the substitution pattern on the bromobenzene did not affect the heat output. The reaction rate of electron-deficient bromobenzenes was slower than that of the electron-rich bromobenzenes. In general, substituted styrenes afforded similar magnitudes of exotherms; however, the reaction rate of bromobenzene with 2-methylstyrene was significantly slower than the other studied styrenes. The predicted heat of reaction using the density functional theory method, B3LYP, was in good agreement with the experimental data. Such excellent agreement suggests that this calculation method can be used as a preliminary tool to predict heat of reaction and avoid exothermic reaction conditions. In many of the studied cases, the maximum temperature of a synthesis reaction was considerably higher than the solvent boiling point and thermal decomposition onset temperatures when the reaction was performed in DMSO or 3:1 DMSO/water. It is crucial to understand the thermal stability of the reaction mixture to design the process accordingly and ensure the reaction temperature is maintained below the onset temperature of decomposition to avoid potential runaway reactions.

- Tetranuclear Palladium Complexes of Abnormal N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands and their Catalytic Activities in Mizoroki-Heck Coupling Reaction of Electron-Rich Aryl Chlorides
-
Based on the ligand scaffold of an imidazolyl/benziimidazolyl moiety and a N-CH2C(=O)NHPh substituent, two series of ligand precursors with ortho hydroxy groups incorporated on the N-phenyl rings were prepared. The structural fine tuning of the ligand scaffold allowed the synthesis of tetranuclear palladium complexes with abnormal N-heterocyclic carbene (aNHC) ligands. For precursors with C2-methyl blocking groups, pyridine-assisted C?H bond activation led to the formation of mononuclear tridentate palladium aNHC complexes or tetranuclear complexes with tridentate CNO donors. Representative mononuclear and tetranuclearpalladium aNHC complexes were structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction studies, revealing very short Pd?C bond distances. The tetranuclear palladium aNHC complexes were very effective in catalyzing Mizoroki-Heck coupling reaction, and were capable of employing a range of aryl chlorides including deactivated substrates with low palladium loading of 0.2 mol%. (Figure presented.).

- Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer: Transition-Metal-Free Selective Reduction of Chalcones and Alkynes Using Xanthate/Formic Acid
-
Highly chemoselective reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones to saturated ketones and stereoselective reduction of alkynes to (E)-alkenes has been developed under a transition-metal-free condition using a xanthate/formic acid mixture through proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET). Mechanistic experiments and DFT calculations support the possibility of a concerted proton electron-transfer (CPET) pathway. This Birch-type reduction demonstrates that a small nucleophilic organic molecule can be used as a single electron-transfer (SET) reducing agent with a proper proton source.

- Cobalt catalyzed stereodivergent semi-hydrogenation of alkynes using H2O as the hydrogen source

Cobalt-catalyzed stereodivergent semi-hydrogenation of internal alkynes to alkenes is developed. The reaction proceeded through transfer hydrogenation under mild conditions using a base metal CoI2 as the catalyst, and H2O/MeOH as the hydrogen source with Zn as the reductant. The E/Z-selectivity of the product could be switched by changing the solvent and by inclusion/exclusion of a bidentate phosphine ligand (dppe). This method provides a simple and cost effective pathway for the synthesis of 1,2-dideuterioalkenes.

- Ligand-controlled iridium-catalyzed semihydrogenation of alkynes with ethanol: highly stereoselective synthesis of E- and Z-alkenes
-
A ligand-controlled iridium-catalyzed semihydrogenation of alkynes to E- and Z-alkenes with ethanol was developed. Effective selectivity control was achieved by ligand regulation. The use of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (DPPE) and 1,5-cyclooctadiene (COD) was critical for the stereoselective semihydrogenation of alkynes. The general applicability of this procedure was highlighted by the synthesis of more than 40 alkenes, with good stereoselectivities. The value of our approach in practical applications was investigated by studying the effects of pinosylvin and 4,4′-dihydroxystilbene (DHS) on zebrafish as a vertebrate model.

We developed an operationally simple method for the direct use of biomass-derived chemical entities in a fundamentally important process, such as hydrogenation. Various carbohydrates, starch, and lignin were used for stereoselective hydrogenation. Employing a transition metal catalyst and a novel catalytic system, the reduction of alkynes, alkenes, and carbonyl groups with high yields was demonstrated. The regioselective hydrogenation to access different stereoisomers was established by simple variations in the reaction conditions. This work is based on an unprecedented catalytic system and represents a straightforward application of biomass as a reducing reagent in chemical reactions.

- Xanthate-mediated synthesis of (E)-alkenes by semi-hydrogenation of alkynes using water as the hydrogen donor
-
Semi-hydrogenation of alkynes is one of the most widely used methods for obtaining alkenes in laboratory preparation and in industry. Transition metal catalysts have been extensively studied for this transformation, but the tolerance of functional groups, such as pyridine,-OH,-NH2,-Bpin, and halides, and the toxicity of the trace amount of transition metal catalysts are still highly challenging. In this study, we report a general and robust strategy to achieve the semi-hydrogenation of alkynes using inexpensive and commercially available xanthate as the mediator. Mechanism studies support a non-radical process and H2O acts as the hydrogen donor.

- Bis(pyrazolyl)palladium(II) complexes as catalysts for Mizoroki–Heck cross-coupling reactions
-
Recent progress in carbon–carbon cross-coupling reactions has resulted in the discovery of highly active catalysts for carrying out such transformations. However, due to the wide array of applications of the products from cross-coupling reactions, there is the need to design suitable catalysts that permit the practical and economical synthesis of the cross-coupled products. Palladium complexes with bulky and electron-donating ligands have served as excellent (pre)catalysts for the Mizoroki–Heck cross-coupling reaction. By using bulky pyrazole-based ligands, we have prepared palladium(II) complexes with controlled steric and electronic properties of the metal center. We have used these bulky bis(pyrazolyl)palladium(II) complexes as (pre)catalysts for the Mizoroki–Heck cross-coupling reaction. The (pre)catalysts displayed high activity and selectivity, giving high catalytic conversions at a low (pre)catalyst loading and short reaction times. A mercury poisoning test confirmed that the (pre)catalysts promoted the Mizoroki–Heck cross-coupling homogenously and do not decompose into palladium black during the reactions. The catalytic systems were also tolerant to the presence of functional groups, such as 4-CF3, 4-CH3, 4-CO2Me and 4-CO2Et, on the alkene substrates.

- Synthesis and Characterization of C, C -Type Palladacycles and Their Catalytic Application in Mizoroki-Heck Coupling Reaction
-
Two series of ligand precursors, based on imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine and C2-phenyl substituted imidazole moieties, were developed and synthesized in high yields, featuring an N-CH2(C=O)Ar substituent on the imidazole ring. Upon reacting with palladium acetate, both series of ligands underwent double C-H bond activations at the methylene and o-aryl carbon sites on the N-CH2(C=O)Ar substituent, yielding C,C-type palladacycles bearing five-membered chelate rings. A dimeric palladium complex with bridging bromides was obtained from the ligand precursor with the bromide anion, whereas an ionic palladium complex with two "throw away" pyridine ligands was formed with the precursor of the tetrafluoroborate anion. All complexes are air-stable and were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures of three of the new complexes were further established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. These complexes have been screened for catalyzing Mizoroki-Heck coupling reaction using ionic salt as solvent. The complex based on imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, which has an electron-donating 4-methoxyphenyl ring on the ligand scaffold, was the most efficient catalyst, capable of using activated aryl chloride and sterically hindered aryl bromide as substrates. It was also successfully applied in the green process of one-pot Mizoroki-Heck coupling/trans-esterification reaction in molten ionic salt.

The use of the sterically bulky t-Bu3PHBF4 ligand was crucial to the successful coupling of electron-rich and electron-poor aryl bromides. Complete stereochemical retention of the (E)-2-phenylethenylboronic acid pinacol ester alkene geometry was observed in all of the (E)-stilbene derivatives synthesized.

- Dehydrative Cross-Coupling of 1-Phenylethanol Catalysed by Palladium Nanoparticles Formed in situ under Acidic Conditions
-
A dehydrative cross-coupling of 1-phenylethanol catalysed by sugar derived, in situ formed palladium(0) nanoparticles under acidic conditions is realised. The acidic conditions allow for use of alcohols as a feedstock in metal-mediated coupling reactions via their in situ dehydration and subsequent cross-coupling. Extensive analysis of the size and morphology of the palladium nanoparticles formed in situ showed that the zero-valent metal was surrounded by hydrophilic hydroxyl groups. EDX-TEM imaging studies using a prototype silicon drift detector provided insight into the problematic role of molecular oxygen in the system. This increased understanding of the catalyst deactivation allowed for the development of the cross-coupling methodology. A 250-12,000 fold increase in molar efficiency was observed when compared to related two-step protocols that use alternative feedstocks for the palladium-mediated synthesis of stilbenes. This work opens up a new research area in which the active catalyst is formed, stabilised and regenerated by a renewable sugar.

We have developed unprecedented methods for the direct transformation of primary alcohols to alkenes in the presence of hydrazine, and for the synthesis of mixed alkenes by the reaction of alcohols with hydrazones. The reactions are catalyzed by a manganese pincer complex and proceed in absence of added base or hydrogen acceptors, liberating dihydrogen, dinitrogen, and water as the only byproducts. The proposed mechanism, based on preparation of proposed intermediates and control experiments, suggests that the transformation occurs through metal–ligand cooperative N?H activation of a hydrazone intermediate.

- Synthesis of 1,2-diarylethylenes by Pd-catalyzed one-pot reaction of benzyl halides, tosylhydrazide, and aryl aldehydes

Background: Substituted olefins are versatile functional groups and intermediates in chemistry, medicine, electronics, and optics and materials science fields because of their unique properties. One important class of substituted olefins 1,2-diarylethylenes have attracted considerable attention due to their presence in both natural products and pharmacologically active substances. Methods: In this paper, we developed a one-pot two-step coupling reaction of aryl aldehydes, tosylhydrazide with benzyl halides by using inexpensive Pd(PPh3)4 as catalyst, leading to a variety of 1,2- diphenylethenes derivatives with moderate to good yields. Results: The desired 1,2-diarylethylenes were obtained in 46-96% yields via Pd(0)-catalyzed one-pot reaction of benzyl halides, tosylhydrazide, and aryl aldehydes. Conclusion: The catalytic system presented here enables the use of easily accessible starting materials and good functional group tolerance.

- Olefination with Sulfonyl Halides and Esters: E-Selective Synthesis of Alkenes from Semistabilized Carbanion Precursors
-
Carbanions of sulfonyl halides and activated sulfonates add to carbonyl compounds, and so-formed aldol-type adducts spontaneously fragment into olefins. This transformation mimics the one-pot Julia olefination with (hetero)aryl sulfones, but the mechanism of fragmentation involves a four-membered intermediate, typical for reactivity of phosphorus reagents. Moreover, in contrast to the reactions of sulfones, sulfonates of fluorinated alcohols (TFE and HFI) produce byproducts that are easily removed during workup. In our report, we focus on reactions of unstabilized and semistabilized carbanion precursors: alkylsulfonates, and allyl- and benzylsulfonates, respectively. In particular for semistabilized systems, olefins were synthesized as predominant E isomers in good yields. The presented studies reveal that optimal reaction conditions, including the type of base and alcohol groups of the sulfonates, are different depending on stabilization of the carbanion precursors and structure of the carbonyl substrates. The practical synthetic guide is supplemented with a discussion of the mechanism, based on reactivity studies of intermediates and identification of side-products.
