Simple kinetic method for distinguishing between homogeneous and heterogeneous mechanisms of catalysis, illustrated by the example of "ligand-free" suzuki and heck reactions of aryl iodides and aryl bromides

Using a simple method based on an analysis of the phase trajectories of competing reactions of several substrates, it has been established that the selectivity of catalytically active species in the Suzuki reaction of aryl bromides depends on the nature of the catalyst precursor. This indicates that there is a considerable contribution from heterogeneous catalysis. At the same time, in the reaction involving aryl iodides, when the catalyst concentration in the solution is much higher, the selectivity of the catalyst is precursor-independent, suggesting that homogeneous catalysis is dominant. In the Heck reaction of both aryl bromides and aryl iodides, pure homogeneous catalysis takes place. Pleiades Publishing, Ltd., 2012.

Charge-tagged acetate ligands as mass spectrometry probes for metal complexes investigations: Applications in suzuki and heck phosphine-free reactions

An acetate anion bearing an imidazolium cation as its charge tag was reacted with M(OAc)2 complexes (where M = Ni, Cu, and Pd; in situ reaction) to form members of a new class of charge-tagged metal complexes. The formation of these unprecedented precatalysts with potential for cross-coupling reactions was confirmed by electrospray ionization (and tandem) mass spectrometry. The catalytic performance of the palladium complex was tested in Heck and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions, often with superior activity and yields as compared with Pd(OAc)2.

Phosphine-Functionalized Chitosan Microparticles as Support Materials for Palladium Nanoparticles in Heck Reactions

Herein, we investigated the activation and stabilization of Pd nanoparticles using microparticles of chitosan-functionalized with phosphine moieties. The catalytic activity of the prepared material was assessed in a series of Heck reactions, which demonst

Pd-Catalyzed desulfitative arylation of olefins by: N -methoxysulfonamide

A novel Pd-catalyzed protocol for the desulfitative Heck-type reaction of N-methoxy aryl sulfonamides with alkenes was reported. The cross-coupling reaction was performed successfully with a variety of olefins to obtain aryl alkenes. Different substituents on the aromatic ring of N-methoxysulfonamides were also found to be compatible with the reaction conditions. Expectedly, the reaction proceeds through CuCl2-promoted generation of the nitrogen radical and subsequent desulfonylation under thermal conditions to afford the aryl radical for the Pd-catalyzed coupling reaction. N-Methoxysulfonamide was further exploited for the synthesis of symmetrical biaryls in the presence of CuCl2. This journal is

Heterobimetallic Pd/Mn and Pd/Co complexes as efficient and stereoselective catalysts for sequential Cu-free Sonogashira coupling–alkyne semi-hydrogenation reactions

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.

Aza-peterson olefinations: Rapid synthesis of (E)-alkenes

An aza-Peterson olefination methodology to access 1,3-dienes and stilbene derivatives from the corresponding allyl- or benzyltrimethylsilane is described. Silanes can be deprotonated using Schlosser's base and added to N -phenyl imines or ketones to directly give the desired products in high yields.

Dinuclear cobalt complex-catalyzed stereodivergent semireduction of alkynes: Switchable selectivities controlled by H2O

Catalytic semireduction of internal alkynes to alkenes is very important for organic synthesis. Although great success has been achieved in this area, switchable Z/E stereoselectivity based on a single catalyst for the semireduction of internal alkynes is a longstanding challenge due to the multichemo- and stereoselectivity, especially based on less-expensive earth-abundant metals. Herein, we describe a switchable semireduction of alkynes to (Z)- or (E)-alkenes catalyzed by a dinuclear cobalt complex supported by a macrocyclic bis pyridyl diimine (PDI) ligand. It was found that cis-reduction of the alkyne occurs first and the Z-E alkene stereoisomerization process is formally controlled by the amount of H2O, since the concentration of H2O may influence the catalytic activity of the catalyst for isomerization. Therefore, this protocol provides a facile way to switch to either the (Z)- or (E)-olefin isomer in a single transformation by adjusting the amount of water.

Lipids as versatile solvents for chemical synthesis

Development of safe, renewable, cheap and versatile solvents is a longstanding challenge in chemistry. We show here that vegetable oils and related systems can become prominent solvents for organic synthesis. Suzuki-Miyaura, Hiyama, Stille, Sonogashira and Heck cross-couplings proceed with quantitative yields in a range of vegetable oils, fish oil, butter and waxes used as solvents. Appropriate methodologies for high-throughput screening and sustainable isolation techniques applicable for vegetable oils and related lipids are presented.

This simple, gentle and user-friendly method can offer a variety of stilbene products in excellent yields under solvent-free condition. And its scale-up reaction has excellent yield and this system can be applied to industrial fields. The utility of this method is highlighted by its universality and modular synthesis of a series of bioactive molecules or important medical intermediates.
