Synthesis of new adamantyl-imine palladium(II) complexes and their application in Mizoroki-Heck and Suzuki-Miyaura C[sbnd]C cross-coupling reactions

Improving carbon–carbon cross-coupling reactions is an ongoing process and finding the most versatile and stable catalyst precursors has been of great interest. Ligand design has been proven to be important since it is responsible for providing electron density and steric saturation around the metal centre, thus contributing towards the stereo-electronic properties. The adamantyl moiety has been used to generate highly bulky and electron-rich ligands for application in palladium-catalysed cross-coupling reactions. Accordingly, we have prepared some Schiff-base adamantyl ligands (L1-L3) and complexed them with [PdCl2(MeCN)2] to afford the (pre)catalysts C1-C3, which were successfully applied in Mizoroki-Heck and Suzuki-Miyaura carbon–carbon cross-coupling reactions. The cross-coupling reaction products were obtained in good yields using 0.5 mol % Pd catalyst loading. C2 and C3 showed remarkable activity in the Mizoroki-Heck coupling reactions involving substrates with substituents on the olefin and aryl halide (including 4-Cl, 4-CH3, -CO2Me and -CO2Et). We also, observed that the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling system was active towards challenging activated and deactivated aryl chlorides, with to up 70% conversions recorded. The mercury poisoning tests conducted revealed that the catalysts act as homogenous molecular active species in the Mizoroki-Heck reactions and act as both homogenous and heterogeneous catalysts in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions.

Ligand-controlled iridium-catalyzed semihydrogenation of alkynes with ethanol: highly stereoselective synthesis of E- and Z-alkenes

A ligand-controlled iridium-catalyzed semihydrogenation of alkynes to E- and Z-alkenes with ethanol was developed. Effective selectivity control was achieved by ligand regulation. The use of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (DPPE) and 1,5-cyclooctadiene (COD) was critical for the stereoselective semihydrogenation of alkynes. The general applicability of this procedure was highlighted by the synthesis of more than 40 alkenes, with good stereoselectivities. The value of our approach in practical applications was investigated by studying the effects of pinosylvin and 4,4′-dihydroxystilbene (DHS) on zebrafish as a vertebrate model.

Pd(II) complexes with amide-based macrocycles: Syntheses, properties and applications in cross-coupling reactions

This work shows Pd(ii) complexes in a set of 13-membered amide-based macrocyclic ligands varied by the placement of e--donating and e--withdrawing substituents on the ligand framework. Ligands constitute a N4 square-planar cavity and optimally house the Pd(ii) ion. The solution-state structure via NMR and absorption spectra substantiates the solid-state structure obtained by crystallography. The electrochemical studies display the impact of electronic substituents on ligands that significantly influence the redox properties and also shift the locus of oxidation. These complexes were used in the Suzuki and Heck cross-coupling reactions. The moderate cross-coupling reaction results are due to limited redox accessibility that can be improved either by using substrates with a better leaving group or by placing electron-withdrawing substituents on the macrocyclic ligands.

Wittig reaction with ion-supported Ph3P

Ion-supported Ph3P, 4-(diphenylphosphino)benzyltrimethylammonium bromide A and N-methyl-N-[4-(diphenylphosphino)benzyl]pyrrolidinium bromide B, were used for the Wittig reaction. Ion-supported phosphonium salts A1 and B1, which were prepared from the reactions of ion-supported Ph3P A and B with ethyl bromoacetate, respectively, reacted with aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes in the presence of K2CO3 to give the corresponding α,β-unsaturated ethyl esters in good yields with high purity by simple filtration of the reaction mixture and subsequent removal of the solvent from the filtrate. Similarly, ion-supported phosphonium salts A2 and B2, which were prepared from the reactions of ion-supported Ph3P A and B with p-methylbenzyl bromide, respectively, reacted with aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes in the presence of NaH to provide the corresponding p-methylstyrene derivatives in good yields with high purity by simple filtration of the reaction mixture and the subsequent removal of the solvent from the filtrate. In both reactions, the co-product, ion-supported Ph3PO, could be obtained quantitatively by simple filtration, and was converted into the corresponding ion-supported Ph3P A and B again in high yields using dimethyl sulfate, followed by the reduction with LiAlH4. Recovered and regenerated ion-supported Ph3P A and B could be reused for the same Wittig reaction while maintaining good yields of ethyl (E)-3-(4′-chlorophenyl)-2-propenoate and 1-(4′-chlorophenyl)-2- (4″-methylphenyl)ethene with high purity by simple filtration and removal of the solvent from the filtrate.

Three phase microemulsion/sol-gel system for aqueous C-C coupling of hydrophobic substrates

Heck, Stille, Suzuki and three-component coupling reactions with hydrophobic substrates have been carried out in water. The substrates are initially transformed by a general procedure into a microemulsion, which consists of nearly 90% water with the aid of sodium dodecyl sulfate and either PrOH or BuOH. The surfactant carries the molecules of the substrates to Pd(OAc)2 entrapped within a hydrophobicitized silica sol-gel matrix where the coupling between the substrates is assumed to take place. The products are then returned by the surfactant into the microemulsion from which it can be released. The immobilized palladium catalyst is leach proof and recyclable. It can be used in various coupling processes at least six times without loss of activity. Experiments with D2O have revealed that the water does not take part in the coupling process, but it has an effect on the pore size of the sol-gel matrix, which hosts the palladium catalyst.

Synthesis of (E)-alkenes via hydroindation of C{triple bond, long}C in InCl3-NaBH4 system

In InCl3-NaBH4-MeCN system, terminal aryl alkynes could couple with aryl iodides and bromides to give disubstituted alkenes via hydroindation of C{triple bond, long}C. In the similar way, (E)-alkenylsilanes were synthesized via reduction of alkynylsilanes in tetrahydrofuran (THF) in high yields. The processes showed high regio- and stereoselectivity.

Carbon-Hydrogen vs. Carbon-Carbon Bond Cleavage of 1,2-Diarylethane Radical Cations in Acetonitrile-Water

Radical cations of 1,2-diarylethanes and 1-phenyl-2-arylethanes (Ar = phenyl, p-tolyl, p-anisyl) were generated in acidic 70percent acetonitrile-water by Cu2+-catalyzed peroxydisulfate oxidation.The radical cations fragment mainly by loss of benzylic protons (C-H cleavage) rather than by alkyl C-C bond cleavage.The radical cation of 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-diphenylbutane fragments efficiently by C-C cleavage, forming cumyl radical and cumyl cation.Oxidations of bibenzyl-bicumyl mixtures show selective oxidation of bicumyl dependent on total substrate concentration, providing evidence of equilibrating radical cations and showing that bicumyl fragments faster than bibenzyl loses protons.The effects of reaction conditions and substrate structure on reactivity are discussed.
