Ligand assisted copper-catalyzed Ullmann cross coupling reaction of bromaminic acid with amines

Three types of ligands have been developed for copper-catalyzed Ullmann cross coupling reaction of bromaminic acid with amines in aqueous solution. Ligands with large steric hindrance and strong electron-donating capacity were beneficial to the reaction. UV–Vis and CV analyses demonstrated that these ligands had strong coordination with copper(I), implying the effect of ligand coordination ability on the stability and catalytic activity of catalytic system.

Polybinaphthyls of (R)-3,3′-Diiodo-2,2′-binaphtho-20-crown-6 with p-Divinylbenzene via Heck Cross-coupling Reaction

The present paper deals with the polymerization of ( R ) 3,3′ diiodo 2,2′ binaphtho 20 crown 6 with \{ p divinylbenzene\} under Heck coupling reaction condition. Both the monomers and the polymer were analyzed by NMR, FTIR, UV, CD, fluorescent spectroscopy, polarimetry, GPC and elemental analysis. The polymer can emit a strong blue fluorescence and is expected to have the potential application in the polarized blue light emitting sensors. The chiral conjugated polymer exhibits a strong Cotton effect in its Circular Dichroism(CD ) spectrum, indicating the high rigidity of the polymer backbone.

Theoretical Study on the Mechanism of Sonogashira Coupling Reaction

The mechanism of palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction has been studied theoretically by DFT （density functional theory） calculations. The model system studied consists of Pd（PH3）2 as the starting catalyst complex, phenyl bromide as the substrate and acetylene as the terminal alkyne, without regarding to the co-catalyst and base. Mechanistically and energetically plausible catalytic cycles for the cross-coupling have been identified. The DFT analysis shows that the catalytic cycle occurs in three stages： oxidative addition of phenyl bromide to the palladium center, alkynylation of palladium（Ⅱ） intermediate, and reductive elimination to phenylacetylene. In the oxidative addition, the neutral and anionic pathways have been investigated, which could both give rise to cis-configured palladium（Ⅱ） diphosphine intermediate. Starting from the palladium（Ⅱ） diphosphine intermediate, the only identifiable pathway in alkynylation involves the dissociation of Br group and the formation of square-planar palladium（Ⅱ） intermediate, in which the phenyl and alkynyl groups are oriented cis to each other. Due to the close proximity of phenyl and alkynyl groups, the reductive elimination of phenylacetylene proceeds smoothly.

Microwave Irradiated Palladium-Catalyzed Cascade Type Cross Coupling of Phenols and Halides for the Synthesis of Polyphenolic Ethers

A mild, cascade type methodology was developed for the synthesis of polyphenolic ethers by the palladium-catalyzed cross coupling of phenols and halo compounds under microwave heating. In most cases, reactions run in neat conditions and in some cases, IPA/water mixture, and 1,4-dioxane were employed as solvents to furnish the products. By applying this new method, we were able to synthesize and purify a good number of polyether compounds with complete spectral data.

Elastic scattering and total reaction cross sections of^(6)Li examined via a microscopic continuum discretized coupled-channels model

We present a systematic study of 6Li elastic scattering and total reaction cross sections at incident energies around the Coulomb barrier within the continuum discretized coupled-channels(CDCC)framework,where 6Li is treated in anα+d two-body model.Collisions with 27Al,64Zn,138Ba,and 208Pa are analyzed.The microscopic optical potentials(MOP)based on Skyrme nucleon-nucleon interaction forαand d are adopted in CDCC calculations and satisfactory agreement with the experimental data is obtained without any adjustment on MOPs.For comparison,αand d global phenomenological optical potentials(GOP)are also used in CDCC analysis and a reduction of no less than 50%on the surface imaginary part of deuteron GOP is required for describing the data.In all cases,the 6Li breakup effect is significant and provides repulsive correction to the folding model potential.The reduction on the surface imaginary part of GOP of deuteron reveals a strong suppression of the reaction probability of deuteron as a component of 6Li when compared with that of a free deuteron.Further investigation is performed by considering the d breakup process equivalently within the dynamic polarization potential approach,and the results show that d behaves in a manner similar to a tightly bound nucleus in 6Li induced reactions.

Single-atom Pd catalyst anchored on Zr-based metal-organic polyhedra for Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling reactions in aqueous media

The challenge for single-atom catalysts in various C-C cross coupling reaction exists in the development of solid supporting materials.It has been desired tofind a supporting material designed in molecular level to anchor a single-atom catalyst and provide high degree of dispersion and substrate access in aqueous media.Here,we prepared discrete cages of metal-organic polyhedra anchoring single Pd atom(MOP-BPY(Pd))and successfully performed a Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling reaction with various substrates in aqueous media.It was revealed that each tetrahedral cage of MOP-BPY(Pd)has 4.5 Pd atoms on average and retained its high degree of dispersion up to 3 months in water.The coupling efficiencies of the Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling reaction exhibited more than 90.0%for various substrates we have tested in the aqueous media,which is superior to those of the molecular Pd complex and metal-organic framework(MOF)anchoring Pd atoms.Moreover,MOP-BPY(Pd)was successfully recovered and recycled without performance degradation.

Engineering single–atom active sites anchored covalent organic frameworks for efficient metallaphotoredox C-N cross–coupling reactions

Photoredox catalysis has become an indispensable solution for the synthesis of small organic molecules.However,the precise construction of single-atomic active sites not only determines the catalytic performance,but also avails the understanding of structure–activity relationship.Herein,we develop a facile approach to immobilize single-atom Ni sites anchored porous covalent organic framework(COF)by use of 4,4',4''-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl)trianiline and 2,6-diformylpyridine(Ni SAS/TD-COF).Ni SAS/TDCOF catalyst achieves excellent catalytic performance in visible-light-driven catalytic carbon–nitrogen cross-coupling reaction between aryl bromides and amines under mild conditions.The reaction provides amine products in excellent yields(71%–97%)with a wide range of substrates,including aryl and heteroaryl bromides with electron-deficient,electron-rich and neutral groups.Notably,Ni SAS/TD-COF could be recovered from the reaction mixture,corresponding to the negligible loss of photoredox performance after several cycles.This work provides a promising opportunity upon rational design of single-atomic active sites on COFs and the fundamental insight of photoredox mechanism for sustainable organic transformation.

Cross-coupling reaction of cy-clopropylboronic acids with a-ryl ω-halo-oxo-perfluoroalkyl-sulfonates

The cross-coupling reaction of cyclopropylbo-ronic acids with aryl ω-halo-oxo-perfluoroalkylsulfonates is investigated. It was found that the stereodefined cyclopro-pylboronic acids can readily react with aryl ω-halo-oxo-perfluoroalkylsulfonates to give the corresponding cross-coupling products in high yields under the appropriate conditions and in the presence of transition metal catalysts. For the reaction of various aryl perfluoroalkyJsulfonates bearing the substituents, the use of corresponding bases was essential. During these reactions, the cyclopropyl configurations of cyclopropylboronic acids are retained. Thus, the procedure provides a new convenient route to stereodefined cyclopropane derivatives from phenols and commerce-available ω-chloro-oxo-perfluoroalkylsulfonyl fluoride.

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.
