- New Bidentate N-Sulfonyl-Substituted Aromatic Amines as Chelate Ligand Backbones: Pd Catalyst Generation in C-C Coupling via in Situ and Precatalyst Modes
-
A series of six new, bidentate ligands based on N-(2-(R-sulfonamido)benzyl)R-sulfonamide have been isolated as dianionic or monoanionic chelators via condensation of 2-(aminomethyl)aniline with sulfonyl chloride reagents; R = methyl (1 and 1′), tolyl (2 and 2′), 2,4,6-Trimethylphenyl (3), or 2,4,6-Triisopropylphenyl (4). Complexes of ligands 2-4 reacted at room temperature with palladium(ii) acetate in the presence of various monodentate N-donor co-ligands to form complexes Pd2(2dmap), Pd2′(OAc.py), Pd3(2acn), Pd3(2py), Pd4(2acn), and Pd4(2py), which were structurally confirmed by three X-ray crystal analyses. Results of catalysis studies in water showed high turnover frequencies and yields of up to 98 % within 10 min and at 0.2 mol-% palladium catalyst loading. Relative to ligand-free catalysis in the presence of only Pd(OAc)2, the ligand-supported palladium species clearly possess positive catalytic advantage. Furthermore, Suzuki coupling efficiencies by 1: 1 'Pd(OAc)2 + ligand' yielded notably better outcomes than for the 1: 2 'Pd(OAc)2 + ligand' in situ catalyst generation, which reveals that coordinative saturation is undesirable. The size of the complementing monodentate co-ligand was observed to influence the catalytic efficiency such that bulkier co-ligands consistently yielded improved turnover frequency values, which leads to the conclusion that steric repulsion between the synthesised ligands and the bulkier co-ligands aided the generation of vacant coordination sites for the more active complexes. Moderate Heck coupling activity was recorded for the complexes and better activities appear to correlate with moderate bulkiness of ligand 3.

- N-donor-stabilized Pd(II) species supported by sulphonamide-azo ligands: Ligand architecture, solvent co-ligands, C–C coupling
-
In this report, a series of synthetically affordable phosphine-free ligands (L1 – L4) of the form RSO2–NH–Ph–N[dbnd]N–Ph–NH–SO2R were prepared and examined as organic ligands for stabilizing palladium active centers; R = methyl, tolyl or triiso-propylphenyl. Palladium complexes, which were obtained in varying coordination environments as well as with varying complementary co-ligands (water, acetonitrile or pyridine), have been subjected to Suzuki and Heck coupling experiments in order to study molecular level ligand effects on preferred catalyst settings. The appreciable coupling activities for Suzuki and Heck coupling with functional group tolerance were recorded for palladium species generated from the chelate ligands. Results show that, despite the tridentate chelation characteristics of these azo-benzene ligands, the introduction of bulky units at the sulfonyl groups enabled generation of active palladium species with high turnover frequencies; e.g. 5040 h?1 (84% yield) within 5 min at 0.2 mol % loading of Pd.L2.py in only water as solvent. A correlation between catalytic efficiencies and the bulkiness of the coordinated co-ligand was obtained. However, while Suzuki coupling activity increased with increase in co-ligand sizes of the preformed complexes (i.e. water acetonitrile pyridine), the pyridyl co-ligand turned out to be very unfavourable for Heck coupling where the acetonitrile-complemented complexes possessed the higher activities. Therefore, it could be concluded that the best catalyst setting for Suzuki coupling may not be the best for Heck reaction.

- Importance of monodentate mono-ligand designs in developing N-stabilized Pd catalysts for efficient ambient temperature C[sbnd]C coupling: Donor strengths and steric features
-
Unfriendly temperature profiles and costs of carbon coupling catalysis, which pose challenge to both synthetic organic chemists as well as industrial applicability, motivated our design of new monodentate N-donors as support ligands for the purpose of constructing ambient temperature precatalysts that are molecularly close to the hypothetical active forms. Therefore, a series of sterically varied monodentate N-donor imidazoles (1–7) and oxazoles (8–9) have been synthesized and their N-donor strengths, which were estimated as pKas, are systematically varied from 0.9 to 8.5 by substituent variations. Eleven target mono-ligand complexes (1-PdCl2MeCN – 9-PdCl2MeCN, 6-PdCl2PhCN and 7-PdCl2PhCN) and six trans-bis-ligand complexes (12-PdCl2, 22-PdCl2, 32-PdCl2, 62-PdCl2, 12-Pd(OAc)2 and 22-Pd(OAc)2) were isolated and catalytically studied along with PdI2(PPh3)2. Results of coupling reactions, which were conducted both via in situ ‘Pd(II) salt + ligand’ approach and by use of the precatalysts, show that the mono-ligand precatalyst designs (1-PdCl2MeCN – 9-PdCl2MeCN, 6-PdCl2PhCN and 7-PdCl2PhCN) represent a true catalyst improvement initiative among the phosphine-free catalyst community; i.e. yields approaching 100% (TOF ≈ 2000) at 0.2 mol % catalyst loading, 45 °C and within 15 min. On the other hand, the complexes with trans-bis-ligand coordination were inactive at ambient temperatures. Therefore, it was concluded that coordinative saturation, which results from implementing two or more ligand equivalents or use of polydentate ligands on palladium, should be strongly discouraged. Such saturation necessitates the undesirable and avoidable high temperature necessities, long reflux durations and needlessly high catalyst loadings. Correlation between catalyst activity and donor strengths or steric properties were analysed leading to important conclusions. The catalyst design also supported coupling of activated aryl chlorides from 60 °C while Heck coupling activities were observed only at the early minutes of reactions.

- Palladium(II) complexes bearing 2-(1H-imidazol/oxazol-2-yl)-pyridines: Synthesis, structures and ligand effects in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling
-
A series of dichloropalladium(II) complexes (Pd1-Pd4ox) based on derivatives of the hemilabile 2-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyridine and 2-(oxazol-2-yl)pyridine ligands were synthesized and characterized. The ligands were designed to introduce a variety of electronic and structural features and crystal structures of Pd1, Pd1Me, Pd3, and Pd3Me were determined. Pd1 and Pd1Me both crystallize in the monoclinic space group C2/c. Pd3 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c while Pd3Me crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121. All complexes were utilized as pre-catalysts in a comparative study to probe relevant features of the palladium active species during high temperature Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling catalysis. Relatively higher catalytic activities were obtained for complexes bearing the bidentate ligands that possess weaker azole donor arms. Results obtained suggest that ligand dissociation steps may be important for generating active species with high efficiency. In particular, the observed ligand effects in the investigated series indicate that higher catalyst efficiencies were observed with complexes for which the coordination of the ligand at the palladium center could readily be converted into a monodentate mode.
