Recyclable Pd(0)-Pd(II) composites formed from Pd(II) dimers with NHC ligands under Suzuki–Miyaura conditions
摘要:
Dimeric complexes of the type [Pd(mu-X)X(NHC)](2) were employed in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling leading to 2-methylbiphenyl. The excellent activity of the studied dimers is perfectly illustrated by a TOF of up to 10(6) h(-1). Mechanistic investigations with the application of TEM, XPS, and mercury poisoning tests provided an insight into the nature of the catalytic process. Accordingly, the reduction of the dimeric palladium complex [Pd(mu-X)X(NHC)](2) resulted in the formation of a composite containing Pd(0) nanoparticles protected by a layer of a Pd(II) species such as anions [PdBr4](2-) or [PdBr3(NHC)](-). The in situ formation of Pd(0)-Pd(II) composites resulted in the high stability of the catalytic system, which was active in ten subsequent recycles without any additional protection.

The Heck reaction was found to proceed markedly more efficiently in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([bmim][Br]) than in the analogous tetrafluoroborate salt ([bmim][BF4]). In relation to this observation, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazol-2-ylidene (bmiy) complexes of palladium [PdBr(mu-Br)(bmiy)](2) (1) and [PdBr2(bmiy)(2)] (2) have been isolated in [bmim][Br] but not in [bmim][BF4] under conditions similar to those employed for the Heck reaction. In both the ionic liquid [bmim][Br] and molecular solvents, complex 2 was formed via the intermediate 1. 2 has been shown to be active in the Heck reaction in [bmim][Br] but much less so in [bmim][BF4] due to transformation by the latter into less active species.
