Introduction of a Recyclable Basic Ionic Solvent with Bis-(NHC) Ligand Property and The Possibility of Immobilization on Magnetite for Ligand- and Base-Free Pd-Catalyzed Heck, Suzuki and Sonogashira Cross-Coupling Reactions in Water

A new versatile and recyclable NHC ligand precursor has been developed with ligand, base, and solvent functionalities for the efficient Pd-catalyzed Heck, Suzuki and Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions under mild conditions. Furthermore, NHC ligand precursor was immobilized on magnetite and its catalytic activity was also evaluated towards the coupling reactions as a heterogeneous catalyst. The NHC ligand precursor was prepared with imidazolium functionalization of TCT followed by a simple ion exchange by hydroxide ions. However, the results revealed an excellent catalytic activity for the both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic systems. 1.52?g.cm?3 and 1194 cP was obtained for the density and viscosity of the NHC ligand precursor respectively. On the other hand, the heterogeneous type could be readily recovered from the reaction mixture and reused for several times while preserving its properties. Heterogeneous nature of the magnetic catalyst was studied by hot filtration, mercury poisoning, and three-phase tests. High to excellent yields were obtained for all entries for the both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, which reflects the high consistency of the catalyst.

Palladium nanoparticles encapsulated in polyimide nanofibers: An efficient and recyclable catalyst for coupling reaction

In this study, palladium-encapsulated poly(amic acid) (Pd@PAA) nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning, followed by thermal imidization to synthesize palladium-encapsulated polyimide (Pd@PI) nanofibers. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images confirmed the preparation of uniform and smooth Pd@PAA and Pd@PI nanofibers. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results reveal that the Pd@PI nanofibers possessed excellent thermal stability. The dispersion of palladium nanoparticles in the polyimide nanofibers was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The catalysis results show that this Pd@PI fibrous catalyst was very efficient to catalyze the cross-coupling reactions of aromatic iodides with n-butyl acrylate (Heck reaction) or phenylboronic acid derivatives (Suzuki reaction) to afford the desired products in good to excellent yields. Moreover, the Pd@PI catalyst could be easily separated and recovered from the reaction mixture by simple filtration due to the regular fibrous structure and reused for 10 times for both Heck and Suzuki reactions without obvious loss of its initial catalytic activity. Thus, the Pd@PI nanofiber catalyst holds great potential in chemical industry in terms of its excellent catalytic activity and stability.

A new approach to large scale production of dimethyl sulfone: A promising and strong recyclable solvent for ligand-free Cu-catalyzed C-C cross-coupling reactions

Dimethyl sulfone (DMSN) was easily prepared through efficient oxidation of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and used as a strong and green solvent for organic reactions. A mixture of HNO3/NaOCl was used as an oxidizing agent for efficient oxidation of DMSO to DMSN. The effect of DMSN was evaluated for copper-catalyzed coupling reactions. It is worth noting that DMSN could play the role of a ligand for copper ions. A general survey was accomplished for various types of C-C cross-coupling reactions catalyzed by CuI in DMSN in the absence of any ligand. Moderate to good yields were achieved for Sonogashira, Heck, and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions. Finally, DMSN was recovered and reused for several consecutive runs without any loss of its activity.

Bis-salophen palladium complex immobilized on Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles as a highly active and durable phosphine-free catalyst for Heck and copper-free Sonogashira coupling reactions

New Fe3O4@SiO2 core-shell superparamagnetic nanoparticles functionalized by a bis-salophen Schiff base Pd complex were synthesized and employed as an efficient magnetic nanocatalyst in the Heck and Sonogashira cross coupling reactions. The synthesized nanostructures were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), dynamic light scattering (DLS), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), elemental analysis (CHN), cyclic voltammetry (CV), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis (BET), and UV-vis spectroscopy. The morphology and size of the nanoparticles were investigated by FE-SEM and TEM analyses. Furthermore, the magnetic properties of the catalyst were investigated by VSM analysis. The loading content and leaching amounts of palladium on the catalyst were measured by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis. Also, the thermal behavior of this magnetic heterogeneous catalyst was studied using a TGA instrument. This heterogeneous catalytic system showed a good performance in the coupling of aryl halides with alkynes (Sonogashira reaction) as well as aryl halides with alkene derivatives (Heck reaction). High to excellent yields were achieved for these C-C coupling reactions. The catalyst can be simply separated from the reaction media by an external magnet and reused for eight consecutive runs without any significant loss of activity. Finally, the kinetics of the reactions were studied in this work.

Palladium nanoparticles immobilized on EDTA-modified Fe3O4@SiO2: a highly stable and efficient magnetically recoverable catalyst for the Heck–Mizoroki coupling reactions

Palladium nanoparticles supported on EDTA-modified Fe3O4@SiO2 NPs as an efficient and magnetically reusable nanocatalyst was applied for the Heck cross-coupling reactions. The catalyst was very effective for the Heck reaction of aryl halides (iodides, bromides, and chlorides) with alkenes and conversion was excellent in most cases with higher TOF (turn over frequency). Moreover, the catalyst could be recycled for eight runs without any significant loss of catalytic activity, showing its superiority over homogeneous catalysts for industrial and chemical applications. Also, the leaching of the catalyst has been examined by a hot filtration test and ICP analysis.

Green, cost-effective and efficient procedure for Heck and Sonogashira coupling reactions using palladium nanoparticles supported on functionalized Fe3O4@SiO2 by polyvinyl alcohol as a highly active, durable and reusable catalyst

A novel heterogenized organometallic catalyst was synthesized by coordinating palladium with polyvinyl alcohol-functionalized Fe3O4@SiO2 nanospheres. This novel catalyst was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope, field emission scanning electron microscope, dynamic light scattering, UV–vis spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and inductively coupled plasma analysis. The prepared palladium nanoparticles supported on polyvinyl alcohol functionalized Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles were successfully applied as a magnetically recyclable catalyst in Heck and Sonogashira coupling reactions in water. They showed remarkable activity toward aryl halides (I, Br, Cl) using very low palladium loading in excellent yields and demonstrated high TONs (mmol of product per mmol of catalyst). Also, the catalyst could be magnetically separated and reused seven times without any appreciable loss of catalytic activity.

Imidazolium chloride-Co(iii) complex immobilized on Fe3O4@SiO2 as a highly active bifunctional nanocatalyst for the copper-, phosphine-, and base-free Heck and Sonogashira reactions

A heterogeneous, magnetically recoverable Fe3O4@SiO2@Im[Cl]Co(iii)-melamine nanocomposite was prepared by immobilization of a novel Co(iii) Schiff base complex on Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles followed by treatment with melamine, and was found to be an efficient catalyst for the Heck and Sonogashira reactions. The reactions were performed in the presence of the catalyst (0.5 mol% Co) along with Mn additive in the absence of any base, phosphine ligand, or Cu/co-catalyst in ethanol under reflux conditions. The nanocatalyst was well studied by FTIR, CHN, XRD, XPS, TGA, EDX, VSM, ICP, NMR, FE-SEM, TEM, BET, CV, and DLS analyses. The catalyst was compatible with a variety of substrates, with which all the Heck and Sonogashira coupling products were obtained in high to excellent yields. Also, protocols such as hot filtration, three-phase testing, and mercury poisoning provided a complete insight into the nature of the heterogeneous catalyst. The recycling and reuse of the catalyst were studied for both coupling reactions several times. Moreover, the mechanism of the coupling reactions was entirely investigated.

Base-Controlled Heck, Suzuki, and Sonogashira Reactions Catalyzed by Ligand-Free Platinum or Palladium Single Atom and Sub-Nanometer Clusters

The assumption that oxidative addition is the key step during the cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides has led to the development of a plethora of increasingly complex metal catalysts, thereby obviating in many cases the exact influence of the base, which is a simple, inexpensive, and necessary reagent for this paramount transformation. Here, a combined experimental and computational study shows that the oxidative addition is not the single kinetically relevant step in different cross-coupling reactions catalyzed by sub-nanometer Pt or Pd species, since the reactivity control is shifted toward subtle changes in the base. The exposed metal atoms in the cluster cooperate to enable an extremely easy oxidative addition of the aryl halide, even chlorides, and allow the base to bifurcate the coupling. With sub-nanometer Pd species, amines drive to the Heck reaction, carbonate drives to the Sonogahira reaction, and phosphate drives to the Suzuki reaction, while for Pt clusters and single atoms, good conversion is only achieved using acetate as a base. This base-controlled orthogonal reactivity with ligand-free catalysts opens new avenues in the design of cross-coupling reactions in organic synthesis.

Palladium-catalyzed Mizoroki-Heck reactions in water using thermoresponsive polymer micelles

Palladium-catalyzed Mizoroki-Heck reactions were carried out in water using thermoresponsive polymer micelles. The micelles were generated from thermoresponsive block copolymers consisting of a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) segment and a hydrophilic segment such as nonionic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) (2) and anionic poly(sodium p-styrenesulfonate) (PSSNa) (9). These copolymers exhibited lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior at ca. 40–50 °C and showed thermal stimuli-induced formation and dissociation of micelles. The copolymers formed micelles in aqueous solution at higher temperature, where catalytic reactions proceeded. At lower temperature, the micelles dissociated to form a clear solution, enabling efficient extraction of the products from aqueous reaction mixture. In the presence of these copolymers, palladium complexes catalyzed the coupling reactions between aryl iodides and alkene compounds inside the hydrophobic micelle cores in water under relatively milder conditions. Extraction of the products from the aqueous solution of 2 or 9 was found to be efficient enough in comparison with conventional surfactants.

Thermo-responsive poly(N -isopropylacrylamide)- block -poly(ionic liquid) of pyridinium sulfonate immobilized Pd nanoparticles in C-C coupling reactions

A thermo-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-block-poly(ionic liquid) (PNIPAM-b-PIL) of pyridinium-type was prepared. Initially, controlled synthesis of PNIPAM was performed via RAFT method. Subsequently, PNIPAM as macromolecular chain transfer agent (macro-CTA) was used for fabrication of PNIPAM-b-PIL through reaction with a synthesized IL monomer i.e. 4-vinyl pyridinium propane sulfonate. The Pd catalyst was produced throughout palladium nanoparticles' anchoring into this block copolymer. The catalyst was characterized using ICP, FT-IR, NMR, UV-Vis, TGA, XRD, SEM and EDX techniques. The catalyst's TEM image proved nearly fine dispersion of PdNPs with negligible agglomeration. The catalyst was used in the production of a variety of substituted alkenes and biaryl compounds (Heck and Suzuki coupling) in organic and aqueous media and under solvent free conditions. Additionally, the results signified extreme reusability of the catalyst with a simple recycling procedure.
