Carrying out organic reactions in water-based nanoreactors represents a 'green' method for the preparation of organic compounds. This process eliminates the need for solvents, thus reducing the effect of high volumes of solvent on the environment. In this work, we demonstrate a successful Heck cross-coupling reaction, one of the most used approaches to form CC bonds using a palladium catalyst, in a miniemulsion. The miniemulsion droplet sizes were small (25 to 42nm), and the reactions resulted in high conversions of three different products with high trans stereoisomers.

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.).

Herein, we report the manganese catalyzed coupling of alcohols with phosphorus ylides. The selectivity in the coupling of primary alcohols with phosphorus ylides to form carbon-carbon single (C?C) and carbon-carbon double (C=C) bonds can be controlled by the ligands. In the conversion of more challenging secondary alcohols with phosphorus ylides the selectivity towards the formation of C?C vs. C=C bonds can be controlled by the reaction conditions, namely the amount of base. The scope and limitations of the coupling reactions were thoroughly evaluated by the conversion of 21 alcohols and 15 ylides. Notably, compared to existing methods, which are based on precious metal complexes as catalysts, the present catalytic system is based on earth abundant manganese catalysts. The reaction can also be performed in a sequential one-pot reaction generating the phosphorus ylide in situ followed manganese catalyzed C?C and C=C bond formation. Mechanistic studies suggest that the C?C bond was generated via a borrowing hydrogen pathway and the C=C bond formation followed an acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling pathway. (Figure presented.).
