Highly Z-selective semi-reduction of alkynes has been achieved by adding TMSCl to a mixture of Zn(Cu/Ag), water, and methanol. The conjugated Z-alkenes have been prepared in high yields at ambient temperature. The formation of isomeric E-alkenes and over-reduction to alkanes were suppressed in our modified Boland reduction protocol. The methodology was extended to the preparation of Z-substituted stilbenes.

A series of heterobimetallic PdII/MII complexes (MII = Mn, Co) were synthesised and tested as precatalysts for sequential Sonogashira coupling–alkyne semi-hydrogenation reactions to form Z-aryl alkenes. The carbometalated heterobimetallic PdII/CoII complex CoPdL3′ demonstrated an apparent cooperative effect compared to the corresponding monometallic counterparts. This compound was identified as a potent single-molecule catalyst for the one-pot Cu-free Sonogashira coupling of aryl bromides with terminal alkynes followed by chemo- and stereoselective semi-hydrogenation of the alkyne intermediate using NH3·BH3 as a hydrogen source. Furthermore, different aromatic substrates have been tested to show the generality of the reaction for the synthesis of Z-alkenes, including biologically active combretastatin A-4. In addition, the homogeneous nature of the catalytically active species was demonstrated.

A novel magnetic and heterogeneous palladium-based catalyst stabilized by glucosamine-functionalized magnetic Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticle was synthesized. The strategy relies on the covalently bonding of glucosamine to cyanuric chloride-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles followed by complexation with palladium. The structure of magnetic nanocatalyst was fully determined by FT-IR, XRD, DLS, FE-SEM, TEM, ICP, UV-Vis, TGA, VSM, and EDX. The obtained results confirmed that the palladium nanoparticles stabilized by glucosamine immobilized onto the magnetic support exhibited high activity in cross-coupling reactions of Suzuki-Miyaura and Mizoroki-Heck. Various aryl halides were coupled with arylboronic acid (Suzuki cross-coupling reaction) and olefins (Heck reactions) under the green conditions to provide corresponding products in high to excellent yields. Interestingly, the catalyst can be easily isolated from the reaction media by magnetic decantation and can subsequently be applied for consecutive reaction cycles (at least seven times) with no notable reduction in the catalytic activity.

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.
