Abstract

An efficient catalytic system for the Mizoroki–Heck cross-coupling reaction was developed based on the air- and heat-stable palladium(II) chloride–cryptand 22 complex. The complex is a highly active catalyst for coupling of aryl iodides, bromides, or chlorides with various olefins.

Key words

Heck reaction - cross-coupling - halides - olefins - cryptands - catalysis

  • 15 Aralkenes 3; General Procedure A 5 mL round-bottomed flask was charged with aryl halide 1 (1 mmol), alkene 2 (1.1 mmol), PdCl2–cryptand 22 (0.009 mmol, 0.9 mol%), Et3N (1.1 mmol), and DMF (1 mL). [For aryl bromides or chlorides, TBAB (1 mmol) was also added]. The mixture was stirred at 130 °C for the appropriate time (Table 2) while the progress of the reaction was monitored (TLC). Upon completion of the reaction, the mixture was cooled to r.t., poured into H2O (10 mL), and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 8 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (2 × 8 mL), dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. Purification by preparative TLC [silica gel, hexane or hexane–EtOAc (9:1)] gave the pure product. 1-Methyl-4-[(E)-2-phenylvinyl]benzene (3e) White solid; yield: 175 mg (90%); mp 119–122 °C (Lit.2a 120–122 °C). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 2.41 (s, 3 H), 7.13 (s, 2 H), 7.22 (d, J = 7.9 Hz, 2 H), 7.29 (t, J = 7.3 Hz, 1 H), 7.40 (t, J = 7.3 Hz, 2 H), 7.47 (d, J = 7.9 Hz, 2 H), 7.55 (d, J = 7.4 Hz, 2 H). 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 21.3, 126.45, 126.49, 127.5, 127.7, 128.65, 128.7, 129.5, 134.6, 137.55, 137.57. 1-Methyl-2-[(E)-2-phenylvinyl]benzene (3f) Pale-yellow oil; yield: 138 mg (72%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 2.51 (s, 3 H), 7.08 (d, J = 16.1 Hz, 1 H), 7.26–7.47 (m, 7 H), 7.61 (d, J = 7.6 Hz, 2 H), 7.68 (d, J = 6.5 Hz, 1 H). 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 20.0, 125.4, 126.3, 126.6, 126.7, 127.65, 127.69, 128.8, 130.1, 130.5, 135.9, 136.5, 137.8. 1-Methoxy-4-[(E)-2-phenylvinyl]benzene (3g) White solid; yield: 168 mg (80%); mp 136–137 °C (Lit.18 135–137 °C). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 3.85 (s, 3 H), 6.89–6.94 (m, 2 H), 6.99 (d, J = 16.3 Hz, 1 H), 7.09 (d, J = 16.3 Hz, 1 H), 7.23–7.28 (m, 1 H), 7.36 (t, J = 7.7 Hz, 2 H), 7.45–7.52 (m, 4 H). 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 55.3, 114.1, 126.3, 126.6, 127.2, 127.7, 128.2, 128.7, 130.1, 137.7, 159.3.
