High-efficiency PdNi single-atom alloy catalyst toward cross-coupling reaction

The preparation of Pd-based catalysts with rich electrons and a high atom dispersion rate is of great significance for improving the reactivity of cross-coupling reactions,which is a powerful tool for pharmaceutical and fine chemical synthesis.Here,we report a PdNi single-atom alloy(SAA)catalyst in which isolated Pd single atoms are anchored onto the surface of Ni nanoparticles(NPs)applied for Suzuki coupling reactions and Heck coupling reactions.The 0.1%PdNi SAA exhibits extraordinary catalytic activity(reaction rate:17,032.25 mmol h^(-1)gPd^(-1))toward the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction between 4-bromoanisole and phenylboronic acid at 80℃for 1 h.The excellent activity is supposed to attribute to the 100 percent utilization rate of Pd atoms and the highly stable surface zero-valance Pd atoms,which provides abundant sites and electrons for the adsorption and fracture of the C-X(X=Cl,Br,I)bond.Moreover,our work demonstrates the excellent application prospect of SAAs for cross-coupling reactions.

In situ monitoring of Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction by using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy on a bifunctional Au-Pd nanocoronal film

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy(SERS), a powerful surface vibrational spectroscopic technique, is ideally suited for in situ monitoring the chemical transformations occurred at surfaces and/or interfaces.For in situ SERS monitoring, a platform integrated both plasmonic and catalytic activity is a prerequisite. Here, we fabricate a bifunctional Au-Pd nanocoronal film for in situ SERS monitoring Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. This excellent bifunctional substrate leads to the coupling of high catalytic activity with a strong SERS effect at the center of two adjacent Au cores and shows fine reproducibility and stability of SERS signals. During investigating the Suzuki reaction with in situ SERS, we found two distinct catalytic kinetic processes resulted from two disparate catalytic sites on a Au-Pd nanocoronal. Comparing with conventional analytical techniques, this work provides a novel approach for studying Suzuki reactions at surfaces and/or interfaces with in situ SERS.

Transition metal-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling reactions

Transition metal-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling reactions have recently emerged as a new and important category of organic transformations that find versatile applications in the construction of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. The use of relatively cheap and stable carboxylic acids to replace organometallic reagents enables the decarboxylative cross-coupling reactions to proceed with good selectivities and functional group tolerance. In the present review we summarize the various types of decarboxylative cross-coupling reactions catalyzed by different transition metal complexes. The scope and applications of these reactions are described. The challenges and opportunities in the field are discussed.

Palladium-phosphinous acid complexes catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of heteroaryl bromides with phenylboronic acid in water/alcoholic solvents

Highly active, air-stable and water-soluble palladium-phosphinous acid complexes have been applied to Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of heteroaryl bromides under mild conditions in water/alcoholic solvents. Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of heteroaryl bromides with phenylboronic acid occurred efficiently using palladium phosphinous acid complexes （POPd） and phase transfer catalyst （tetrabutylammonium bromide and polyethylene glycol） in water/ethanol mixture, water/propanol mixture and neat water respectively, the corresponding yields of cross-coupling heteroaryl-aryls were satisfied. The tert-butyl substituted ligand di-tert-butylphosphino in combination with POPd was found to be more active than the same family derived catalysts dipalladium complexes POPdl and POPd2, and other two kinds of Pd-catalysts Pd（PPh3）4 and Pd2（dba）3. The mechanism of Suzuki cross-coupling reaction between heteroaryl bromides and phenylboronic acid in water was proposed with respect to the key role of phase transfer catalyst on the transmetallation step. Compared with other solid phase transfer catalysts, TBAB was tested as the ideal one. The alkalinity of base and the molar proportion between POPd and TBAB were investigated in water and alcoholic solvents. Notably, in the presence of TBAB adding alcoholic solvents into water enhanced the yields of target products. However in terms of the liquid phase transfer catalyst of PEGs, mixing water into PEGs could slightly decrease the yields with respect to the water free PEGs bulk phase, which was probably due to the homogenous liquid conditions in pure PEGs and weak interactions between PEGs and heteroaryl bromide molecules in water depending on their molecular chain lengths.
