TL;DR: A new variant of the Heck reaction in which no halogen salts are formed can be achieved by the use of aromatic carboxylic anhydrides 1 as arylating agents for arylated olefins in good yields.
Abstract: Environmentally benign and economical production of arylated olefins can be achieved by a new variant of the Heck reaction in which no halogen salts are formed. The trick is the use of aromatic carboxylic anhydrides 1 as arylating agents. With halide-activated palladium chloride as catalyst, which requires no phosphane ligands, the olefins 2 can be prepared according to Equation (a) in good yields.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, X-Ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with selected area electron diffraction (SAED) techniques were carried out to ascertain the nature, size and morphology of the Pd clusters.
Abstract: Nanoscale particles of palladium metallic clusters have been prepared at room temperature by sonochemical reduction of a 1:2 molar mixture of palladium acetate, Pd(O2CCH3)2 , and myristyltrimethylammonium bromide, CH3(CH2)12N(CH3)3Br (NR4X), in tetrahydrofuran (THF) or methanol. Apart from its stabilizing effect, NR4X acts as a reducing agent, probably due to the decomposition that occurs at the liquid-phase region immediately surrounding the collapsing cavity, and provides reducing radicals. Addition of 0.2 m ethanol–methanol in the THF process enhances the sonochemical reduction of PdII because of its highly volatile nature producing various reducing radicals inside the collapsing bubble. Analyses by UV–VIS spectroscopy indicated the initial formation of a PdII–NR4X complex, which, in turn, reduced to Pd0 . Elemental analysis of the resulting solid (sonication residue) shows that the THF process yields NR4X stabilized-palladium clusters, whereas the methanol process shows the formation of pure Pd agglomerates. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with selected area electron diffraction (SAED) techniques were carried out to ascertain the nature, size and morphology of the Pd clusters. TEM of NR4X stabilized-Pd shows the presence of spherical particles of 10–20 nm in size. Selected area electron diffraction (SAED), along with TEM, reveals that the pure Pd consists of dense agglomerates, whereas NR4X stabilized-Pd exists as thin crystallites. These Pd nanoclusters are catalytically active towards carbon–carbon coupling, or Heck reaction, in the absence of phosphine ligands, to a moderate extent of 30% conversion. Hydrogenation of cyclohexene to cyclohexane has also been studied using sonochemically generated Pd materials. The catalytic ability of these Pd materials was compared with the commercial Pd on carbon material.

TL;DR: The triazene linker is distinguished by its accessibility, thermal robustness, and capability to undergo regeneration.
Abstract: Triazenes as "traceless" linkers for solid-phase synthesis have been utilized for the attachment of arenes to a solid support and yield the corresponding products after various organometallic reactions (Heck reaction and asymmetric dihydroxylation, see the reaction scheme) and cycloadditions (Diels-Alder reaction). The triazene linker is distinguished by its accessibility, thermal robustness, and capability to undergo regeneration.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the role of base in Heck reactions of 1,1-disubstituted olefins was investigated and the results showed that the nature of the base dramatically influences the product distribution.
Abstract: The coupling reaction of 1,1-disubstituted olefins (α-methylstyrene, n-butyl methacrylate) with various aryl bromides (Heck reaction) has been studied as a new concept to synthesize trisubstituted olefins. Surprisingly, the nature of the base dramatically influences the product distribution. Thus, a systematic investigation on the role of base in Heck reactions of 1,1-disubstituted olefins was performed. Less coordinating bases like NaOAc, NaOBz or Na2CO3 yield a statistical distribution of regioisomers with the terminal olefin 10 as the major product. However, by using amines like Bu3N or diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) as base internal olefins can be synthesized with high selectivities. With phosphapalladacycle 3 as catalyst precursor, we were able to obtain catalyst turnover numbers up to 1000, while Pd(OAc)2/2PPh3 was one order of magnitude less active. Analysis of the reaction profile by kinetic investigations led to the postulation of a reduction and subsequent oxidative addition of the catalyst precursor 3 to form 12 as catalytically active intermediate.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The Heck reaction has been extended to the synthesis of bridged rings, spirocycles, and tetrasubstituted carbon centre as discussed by the authors, and the ongoing high level of activity has been further fostered by the advent of a range of additives which variously enhance the rate of Heck reactions, control the rkgioselectivity of the P-hydride elimination step, and suppress double bond isomerisation in the product.
Abstract: Pd(0) catalysts facilitate the assembly of complex heterocycles and carbocycles containing 3 - 7 membered rings from a range of simple building blocks (allenes, carbon monoxide, alkenes, organometallic complexes of B, Zn, Sn etc.). These cascade processes display remarkable chemo-, regio- and stereo-selectivity and considerably extend the scope and utility of our previously developed cyclisation-anion capture cascades. The success of these processes is critically dependant on the relative rates of a range of potentially competing processes and the various substrates can be regarded as queuing for access to the catalytic metal centre. Certain compounds are identified as relay switches because they extend the relay phase of the cyclisation-anion capture cascade whilst allowing the Pd catalysed cascades to switch between inter- and intra-molecular processes. Palladium salts and complexes are exceptionally versatile catalysts for the construction of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds.' Much recent attention has focused on the Heck reaction2 (Scheme 1) due to developments which have considerably enhanced the scope of this palladium-catalysed vinylation of aryl, heteroaryl, vinyl and benzyl halides. Thus the Heck reaction has been extended to the synthesis of bridged rings, spirocycles, and tetrasubstituted carbon centre^.^-^ These latter developments and the ongoing high level of activity have been further fostered by the advent of a range of additives which variously enhance the rate of Heck reactions, control the rkgioselectivity of the P-hydride elimination step, and suppress double bond isomerisation in the product. Thus addition of tetraalkylammonium salts often allow Heck reactions to be carried out at, or near, room temperature in good yield,6 whilst addition of Ag(1) salts' or Tl(I)* salts can control the direction of P-hydride elimination, suppress double bond isomerisation and influence the reaction rate. Tl(1) additives have also proved useful in natural product synthesis.' However, the Heck reaction fails to take advantage of the inherent ability of palladium (0) catalysts to process a wide range of chemically distinctive substrates and suffers from the drawback that, as usually practised, only one C-C bond is made.
