Abstract

A magnetic Pd-NPs-catalyzed one-pot diazotization–cross-coupling reaction of anilines and arylboronic acids was developed. Biaryl derivatives were therefore synthesized in good to excellent yields. Through magnetic separation, the catalyst could be recovered and reused for five times. There were several obvious advantages such as broad applicability, high selectivity, simply experimental operation as well as the convenient preparation, high efficiency and reusability of catalyst.

  • 9 Typical Procedure for the One-Pot Diazotization–Cross-Coupling Reaction To a Schlenk tube (15 mL) initially fitted with arylamine (0.5 mmol) and MeOH (3 mL) at 0 °C were added t-BuONO (0.075 mL, 0.6 mmol) and BF3·OEt2 (0.013 mL, 0.1 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred for 30 min at 0 °C. To the reaction mixture, kept at 0 °C, were sequentially added arylboronic acid (1 mmol), Pd/Fe3O4/s-graphene (3.2 mg, 0.5 mol%). The reaction mixture was allowed to reach 60 °C and stirred for 5 h. After completion of the reaction, the catalyst was recovered by magnetic separation. The solution was diluted with H2O (10 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3 × 10 mL). The organic layers were combined, dried over anhyd Na2SO4, and purified by column chromatography on silica gel with hexane–EtOAc (10:1) as eluent to yield the pure product. The precipitate was further washed sufficiently with MeOH and Et2O, and the Pd nanoparticles were recovered for the further use.
