5 Slides about Palladium Catalyzed Coupling Reactions Useful

5 Slides about Palladium. Catalyzed Coupling Reactions Useful properties of Palladium: • Relatively inert • Usually has high yield and selectivity • Less expensive than Platinum, which has similar properties Palladium can be used in a wide variety of reactions: • Stille- between organohalides & organotin compounds • Buchwald-Hartwig- between aryl halide & amine or aryl alcohol • Tsuji-Trost- between alkene & a nucleophile • Heck- between alkenes & alkyl halides This presentation was created as part of the requirements for Chemistry 165 "Organometallics" at Harvey Mudd College during the fall semester 2009.

Metal-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions • Metal undergoes oxidative addition o One alkyl substituent and a nucleophile bind to the metal catalyst • Second substituent also binds/ coordinates to the metal complex o Occurs through transmetallation or nucleophilic attack • Metal complex undergoes reductive elimination o Forms a new compound that combines the two substituents • Reforms the catalyst Created by Athena Anderson, Brette Chapin, Michelle Hansen and Kanny Wan and posted on VIPEr June 2010.

Stille Reaction • Rate-determining step: oxidative addition of alkyl halide to palladium • Accelerated by electronwithdrawing groups on the alkyl ligands The Stille Reaction is a cross-coupling reaction that is an effective way to form a carbon-carbon bond. 1 R groups are any type of alkyl halides. For example: Ph. CH 2 Br + Me 4 Sn → Ph. CH 2 CH 3 + Me 3 Sn. Br • Can be extended to crosscoupling of alkynylmetals and benzylic electrophiles; known as Sonagashira alkynylation 2 Ph. C≡CZn. Br + Br. CH 2 Ph → Ph. C≡CCH 2 Ph + Ph. CH 2 Ph • Heating and increased solvent polarity increase the yield of the reaction Created by Athena Anderson, Brette Chapin, Michelle Hansen and Kanny Wan and posted on VIPEr June 2010.

Buchwald-Hartwig Cross Coupling Reaction Mechanism: • Reacts aryl halides and • amines to form aryl amines • primary aryl alcohols to form diaryl ethers • A significant improvement to diaryl ether synthesis • Can be done at room temp • Catalyst is air-stable • High yields • Broader scope (highly functionalized aryl groups) • Oxidative addition of aryl halide • Substitution of halide with base • Substitution of base with amine • Reductive elimination to yield aryl amine and reform catalyst • Changing ligand tunes reactivity • (t-Bu)2 PN=P(i-Bu. NCH 2)3 N allows to for highly functionalized aryl amines • Mild reaction conditions • Lower catalyst loading Created by Athena Anderson, Brette Chapin, Michelle Hansen and Kanny Wan and posted on VIPEr June 2010.

Tsuji-Trost Reaction Mechanism: • Example • Allylation can be enantioselective • with chiral bisphosphine ligands • Oxidative addition of allyl acetate, bromate or carbonate • Reaction could lead to cyclization • intramolecular nucleophilic attack instead • Nucleophilic addition of enolates, amine, active methylenes or phenols via η 3 π-allyl complex • Reductive elimination to yield alkylated alkene and reform catalyst Created by Athena Anderson, Brette Chapin, Michelle Hansen and Kanny Wan and posted on VIPEr June 2010.

The Heck Reaction Palladium-catalyzed C-C coupling between aryl or vinyl halides and activated alkenes in the presence of a base. 1 Description of Mechanism • Oxidative Addition of the alkyl halide to the palladium catalyst. • Coordination of the alkene to the palladium catalyst. • Migratory insertion of alkene • Internal rotation, palladium partially attaches to Hydrogen • Beta hydride elimination • Newly formed alkene released • Reductive Elimination to reform the palladium catalyst. Optimizing the Heck Reaction • Utilize homogeneous biphasic catalysis to yield high activity and selectivity and recycle the catalyst. • Use polar solvent to prevent metal precipitation. • Use Supercritical carbon dioxide solvent to reduce toxicity. • Use glass bead technology to further eliminate the palladium leaching.
