Pd Immobilized in Mesoporous Silica Particles as Recyclable Catalysts for Suzuki–Miyaura Coupling: Cooperative Effects Exerted by Co-Immobilized Amine Functionalities

Abstract

A bifunctional heterogeneous palladium catalyst bearing additional basic sites was successfully prepared by sequential Cu-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar alkyne–azide cycloaddition and thermal nitroxide-exchange reaction of surface-bound alkoxyamines. This catalyst shows high activity in the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling. The additional basic functionality acts cooperatively since an analogous heterogeneous Pd catalyst lacking the amine functionality is less active. Such catalysts can be recycled up to ten times without loss of activity.

Key words

mesoporous silica nanoparticles - cooperative Pd catalysis - Suzuki coupling - catalyst immobilization

• 10 General Procedure for Conducting the Suzuki–Miyaura Coupling Reaction: In a heatgun-dried Schlenk tube the corresponding halide (0.75 mmol or 1.50 mmol, 1 equiv), boronic acid (1.50 mmol or 3.00 mmol, 2 equiv), K₂CO₃ (414 mg, 3.00 mmol or 829 mg, 6.00 mmol, 3 equiv) and functionalized nanoparticles (25 mg or 50 mg) were suspended in EtOH (3 mL or 6 mL). The suspension was then stirred at 90 °C for 4–6 h and success of the reaction was monitored by GC. Purification was conducted via flash chromatography (MTBE–pentane, 1:20).
