Polymer-supported palladium: A hybrid system for multifunctional catalytic application

Polymer-supported palladium was synthesized by applying a single-step wet chemical synthesis route and the resultant composite material was characterized by means of various techniques. Infrared and UV–visible spectra provided information on the chemical structure of the polymer. Microscopy techniques showed the general morphology of the polymer. The oxidation state of palladium was determined using the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy method. The synthesized material was applied as a heterogeneous catalyst for the Heck coupling reaction and also as an electrocatalyst for the oxidation of cysteine.

8-Hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one analogues as potential β2-agonists: Design, synthesis and activity study

β2-Agonists that bind to plasmalemmal β2-adrenoceptors causing cAMP accumulation are widely used as bronchodilators in chronic respiratory diseases. Here, we designed and synthesized a group of 8-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one analogues and studied their β2-agonistic activities with a cellular cAMP assay. Compounds B05 and C08 were identified as potent (EC50 2-agonists among the compounds tested. They behaved as partial β2-agonists in non-overexpressed HEK293 cells, and possessed rapid smooth muscle relaxant actions and long duration of action in isolated guinea pig tracheal strip preparations. In summary, B05 and C08 are β2-agonists with potential applicability in chronic respiratory diseases.

Magnetic MCM-41 nanoparticles as a support for the immobilization of a palladium organometallic catalyst and its application in C-C coupling reactions

In this study, the surface of magnetic MCM-41 nanoparticles (MCM-41/Fe3O4) was modified by 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and further, 1-methyl imidazole was anchored on their surface using cyanuric chloride as a linker. Then, Pd2+ ions were immobilized on the surface of the modified MCM-41/Fe3O4 (Pd-imi-CC@MCM-41/Fe3O4), and its application was studied as a magnetically recyclable nanocatalyst in carbon-carbon coupling reactions between a wide range of aryl halides and butyl acrylate, methyl acrylate, acrylonitrile, phenylboronic acid, or 3,4-difluorophenylboronic acid under the conditions of a phosphine-free ligand and an air atmosphere. This catalyst has the advantages of both the Fe3O4 nanoparticles and mesoporous MCM-41. The structure of the catalyst was characterized via TEM, SEM, EDS, WDX, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm, XRD, TGA, FT-IR, and AAS. Also, the recovered catalyst was characterized via SEM, AAS and FT-IR. All the products from the carbon-carbon coupling reaction were obtained with excellent yields and high TON and TOF values, which indicate the high efficiency and activity of this catalyst. The selectivity of this catalyst was studied with various aryl halides bearing different functional groups. Furthermore, the heterogeneity and stability of Pd-imi-CC@MCM-41/Fe3O4 was studied via AAS, and leaching and poisoning tests. According to the results, this heterogeneous catalyst can be reused several times.

The invention provides a method for synthesizing substituted acrylonitrile with a one-pot process. Beta-aryl substituted acrylonitrile is prepared from 0.01-1.0 mol of aryl substituted methanol or heterocycle substituted methanol as a raw material and a solvent adopting acetonitrile with the concentration of 0.2-2.0 mol/L under the alkaline action. In the oxygen atmosphere, a semiconductor photocatalyst is added, the mixture reacts under assistance of light illumination, and the reaction speed and the yield can be greatly increased. Raw materials for a reaction are easy to obtain, the method is simple and convenient, and the product has important application value.

A new palladium complex supported on magnetic nanoparticles and applied as an catalyst in amination of aryl halides, Heck and Suzuki reactions

A simple, efficient and less expensive protocol for the phosphine-free C–C coupling reactions and synthesis of anilines in the presence of 2-aminobenzamide complex of palladium supported on Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (Pd(0)-ABA-Fe3O4) has been reported. The Suzuki reaction was carried out in water or PEG using phenylboronic acid (PhB(OH)2) or sodium tetraphenyl borate (NaBPh4). Pd(0)-ABA-Fe3O4 has been found promising for Heck reaction of butyl acrylate, styrene or acrylonitrile with aryl halides (including Cl, Br and I). Also, Pd(0)-ABA-Fe3O4 has been found as efficient catalyst for the amination of aryl halides using aqueous ammonia. The products have been obtained in short reaction times and high yields. The catalyst was easily separated using an external magnet from the reaction mixture and reused for several runs without significant loss of its catalytic efficiency or palladium leaching. The leaching of catalyst has been examined by hot filtration and ICP-OES technique. The nanomagnetical catalyst was characterized by FTIR, TGA, XRD, VSM, TEM, SEM, EDS, DLS and ICP-OES techniques.

Immobilized NNN Pd-complex on magnetic nanoparticles: Efficient and reusable catalyst for Heck and Sonogashira coupling reactions

A highly efficient and easily recyclable magnetic nanoparticle supported palladium catalyst was developed and applied in the Heck and Sonogashira reactions in order to show its catalytic applicability in Pd-catalyzed C-C coupling protocols. The catalyst was prepared using a simple chemical process. First, the prepared Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles were reacted with (3-chloropropyl)-trimethoxysilane (3-CPTMS) in order to synthesis chloro-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (CPS-MNPs). The substitution reaction of synthetic NNN ligand with CPS-MNPs yields the production of CPS-MNPs-NNN ligand. Finally, immobilization of palladium species on CPS-MNPs-NNN ligand surface afforded CPS-MNPs-NNN-Pd catalyst. The structure and morphology of the prepared nanocatalyst was characterized using various methods such as SEM, TEM, XPS, EDX, CHN, ICP, XRD, FT-IR and VSM techniques. The TEM images show that the sizes of the palladium catalyst are in the range of 8-15 nm. The Heck and Sonogashira coupling reactions were performed in the presence of a catalytic amount of this catalyst system (0.5 mol%) and good yields of products were obtained. Due to the magnetic nature of the catalyst it can be separated from the reaction mixture easily by applying an external magnetic field. Heterogeneity tests affirmed that the catalytic activity stayed indefectible during multiple reaction cycles.
