Abstract

A catalytic system utilizing a chelate carbene ligand containing bulk tert-butyl groups is described for palladium-catalyzed Heck and Suzuki coupling reactions. The Heck reaction focused on the coupling of different aryl bromides with mono- and 1,1-disubstituted olefins while the Suzuki reaction involved the coupling of aryl bromides and phenylboronic acid to afford the corresponding biphenyls. The catalyst system performs well with low Pd(OAc)2 levels (0.025 mol% Pd). In all cases with monosubstituted olefins, the trans-configured products were obtained, while the results of Heck reaction of 1,1-disubstituted olefins exhibited a high selectivity favoring the terminal product.

  • 21 Typical Experimental Procedure for the Heck Arylation A reaction tube was charged with aryl bromide (4 mmol), olefin (4 mmol), and K2CO3(4 mmol) under air. A solution of Pd(OAc)2 (0.025 mol% in 1 mL of DMF) followed by a solution of NHC ligand 1 (0.05 mol% in 2 mL of DMF) was added through a rubber septum, and the resulting mixture was heated at 135 °C for the appropriate time. Upon completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was cooled to r.t. and quenched with H2O. After extraction with CH2Cl2 (3 × 20 mL), the combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered, the solvent was evaporated, and the crude residue was purified by silica gel chromatography, using n-hexane–EtOAc as eluent to provide the desired product. The products were characterized by NMR spectroscopy.

  • 30 General Procedure for the Suzuki Coupling A reaction tube was charged with PhB(OH)2 (4 mmol), aryl bromide (4 mmol), and K2CO3(4 mmol) under an air atmosphere. A solution of Pd(OAc)2 (0.025 mol% in 1 mL of DMF) along with a solution of NHC ligand 1 (0.05 mol% in 2 mL of DMF) was added through a rubber septum. After addition of H2O (1 mL), the resulting mixture was heated at 135 °C for the appropriate time. After extraction with Et2O, the organic phase was dried over MgSO4, filtered, the solvent evaporated, and the crude product was characterized by NMR spectroscopy.
