Mechanistic Insights into Palladium Leaching in Novel Pd/C-Catalyzed Boron-Heck Reaction of Arylboronic Acid

Abstract

For the first time, Pd/C has been used for the Boron-Heck reaction, and the detailed mechanistic aspects of the reaction have been proven experimentally by a leaching test as well as by cyclic voltammetry studies. The results indicate that palladium leaching as a Pd(II) species, by oxidative addition of the arylboronic acid, is responsible for the reaction.

Key words

heterogeneous catalysis - Pd/C - arylboronic acids - ­palladium leaching - Boron-Heck reaction

• 17 General Procedure for the Pd/C-Catalyzed Boron-Heck Reaction In a typical example, arylboronic acid (1.0 mmol), olefin (2.0 mmol), pyrrolidine (1.5 mmol), TBAB (0.5 mmol), and 5% Pd/C (Pd 0.6 mol%) were charged in NMP (10 mL), and the reaction was heated to 80 °C under an oxygen atmosphere for the desired time. After the completion of the reaction, it was allowed to cool to r.t., and the palladium was filtered off for catalyst recovery. The filtrate was poured into H₂O (50 mL), and the crude product was extracted with hexane or Et₂O (3 × 5 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over Na₂SO₄, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude product which was further purified by column chromatography.
