SYNTHESES OF METAL HETEROCYCLIC CARBENE ENOLATES AS COUPLING REACTIONS CATALYSTS

The invention relates to the synthesis methods of N-heterocyclic carbene NHCE metal complexes and their catalytic activities in carbon-carbon coupling reactions.

An efficient Pd-NHC catalyst system in situ generated from Na2PdCl4 and PEG-functionalized imidazolium salts for Mizoroki-Heck reactions in water

Three PEG-functionalized imidazolium salts L1-L3 were designed and prepared from commercially available materials via a simple method. Their corresponding water soluble Pd-NHC catalysts, in situ generated from the imidazolium salts L1-L3 and Na2PdCl4 in water, showed impressive catalytic activity for aqueous Mizoroki-Heck reactions. The kinetic study revealed that the Pd catalyst derived from the imidazolium salt L1, bearing a pyridine-2-methyl substituent at the N3 atom of the imidazole ring, showed the best catalytic activity. Under the optimal conditions, a wide range of substituted alkenes were achieved in good to excellent yields from various aryl bromides and alkenes with the catalyst TON of up to 10,000.

Efficient PEPPSI-themed palladium N-heterocyclic carbene precatalysts for the mizoroki-heck reaction

Two sets of six PEPPSI (pyridine enhanced precatalyst preparation, stabilization, and initiation) themed palladium complexes of amide-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbenes [PdBr2(NHC)(Py)], where NHC = 1-acetamido-3-R-imidazolin-2-ylidene, 1-acetamido-3-R-benzimidazolin-2- ylidene and Py = pyridine, were prepared. Solid-state structures of all these complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. All complexes under scrutiny were found to adopt a trans arrangement with square-planar geometry. These complexes showed excellent catalytic activity toward the Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling reaction of aryl chlorides and styrene. Benzimidazole-derived complexes exhibited better catalytic activity than imidazole-based complexes. Formation of palladium nanoparticles in the reaction mixture was evidenced by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy studies and a mercury poisoning experiment, suggesting the possible involvement of palladium nanoparticles in the catalytic reactions.

Mizoroki-Heck reactions catalyzed by palladium dichloro-bis(aminophosphine) complexes under mild reaction conditions. the importance of ligand composition on the catalytic activity

Dichloro-bis(aminophosphine) complexes of palladium with the general formula [(P{(NC5H10)3-n(C6H 11)n})2Pd(Cl)2] (where n = 0-2) are easily accessible, cheap and air stable, highly active and universally applicable C-C cross-coupling catalysts, which exhibit an excellent functional group tolerance. The ligand composition of amine-substituted phosphines (controlled by the number of P-N bonds) was found to effectively determine their catalytic activity in the Heck reaction, for which nanoparticles were demonstrated to be their catalytically active form. While dichloro{bis[1, 1′,1′′-(phosphinetriyl)tripiperidine]}palladium (1), the least stable complex (towards protons) within the series of [(P{(NC5H 10)3-n(C6H11)n}) 2Pd(Cl)2] (where n = 0-3), is a highly active Heck catalyst at 100 °C and, hence, a rare example of an effective and versatile Heck catalyst that efficiently operates under mild reaction conditions (100 °C or below), a significant successive drop in activity was noticed for dichloro-bis(1,1′-(cyclohexylphosphinediyl)dipiperidine)palladium (2, with n = 1), dichloro-bis(1-(dicyclohexylphosphinyl)piperidine)palladium (3, with n = 2) and dichloro-bis(tricyclohexylphosphine)palladium (4, with n = 3), of which the latter is essentially inactive (at least under the reaction conditions applied). This trend was explained by the successively increasing complex stability and its ensuing retarding effect on the (water-induced) generation of palladium nanoparticles thereof. This interpretation was experimentally confirmed (initial reductions of 1-4 into palladium(0) complexes of the type [Pd(P{(NC5H10)3-n(C6H 11)n})2] (where n = 0-3) were excluded to be the reason for the activity difference observed as well as molecular (Pd 0/PdII) mechanisms were excluded to be operative) and thus demonstrates that the catalytic activity of dichloro-bis(aminophosphine) complexes of palladium can-in reactions where nanoparticles are involved-effectively be controlled by the number of P-N bonds in the ligand system.

Palladium nanoparticles generated from allylpalladium chloride in situ: A simple and highly efficient catalytic system for Mizoroki-Heck reactions

The Mizoroki-Heck reactions of aryl halides catalyzed by palladium nanoparticles generated in situ from a simple allyl palladium precursor were investigated in argon. The high turnover numbers of 9,300,000 have been obtained with 4-bromobenzonitrile as substrate and 3500 with 4-nitrochlorobenzene. When the reaction was performed in air, a low yield was given, but it could be improved obviously by addition of PEG-400. The main reason was that inactive Pd(II) species could be rapidly reduced to the active Pd(0) by PEG. In other word, the existence of air and PEG led to a synergistic effect which the oxidation by air prevents the aggregation of Pd NPs and the reduction by PEG maintains the high activity of Pd(0) species.
