Dichloro[bis{1-(dicyclohexylphosphanyl)piperidine}]palladium [(P{(NC 5H10)(C6H11)2}) 2PdCl2] (1) is a highly active and generally applicable C-C cross-coupling catalyst. Apart from its high catalytic activity in Suzuki, Heck, and Negishi reactions, compound 1 also efficiently converted various electronically activated, nonactivated, and deactivated aryl bromides, which may contain fluoride atoms, trifluoromethane groups, nitriles, acetals, ketones, aldehydes, ethers, esters, amides, as well as heterocyclic aryl bromides, such as pyridines and their derivatives, or thiophenes into their respective aromatic nitriles with K4[Fe(CN)6] as a cyanating agent within 24 h in NMP at 140 °C in the presence of only 0.05 mol % catalyst. Catalyst-deactivation processes showed that excess cyanide efficiently affected the molecular mechanisms as well as inhibited the catalysis when nanoparticles were involved, owing to the formation of inactive cyanide complexes, such as [Pd(CN)4]2-, [(CN)3Pd(H)]2-, and [(CN)3Pd(Ar)]2-. Thus, the choice of cyanating agent is crucial for the success of the reaction because there is a sharp balance between the rate of cyanide production, efficient product formation, and catalyst poisoning. For example, whereas no product formation was obtained when cyanation reactions were examined with Zn(CN)2 as the cyanating agent, aromatic nitriles were smoothly formed when hexacyanoferrate(II) was used instead. The reason for this striking difference in reactivity was due to the higher stability of hexacyanoferrate(II), which led to a lower rate of cyanide production, and hence, prevented catalyst-deactivation processes. This pathway was confirmed by the colorimetric detection of cyanides: whereas the conversion of β-solvato-α-cyanocobyrinic acid heptamethyl ester into dicyanocobyrinic acid heptamethyl ester indicated that the cyanide production of Zn(CN)2 proceeded at 25 °C in NMP, reaction temperatures of >100 °C were required for cyanide production with K4[Fe(CN) 6]. Mechanistic investigations demonstrate that palladium nanoparticles were the catalytically active form of compound 1. A balancing act: Compound 1 (see scheme) is a highly active cyanation catalyst. Furthermore, a sharp balance between the rates of cyanide generation, efficient product formation, and catalyst deactivation owing to excess cyanide was observed in deactivation processes. Copyright
