Heck reaction polymeric support

Polyethylene glycol) (PEG) was used as a soluble polymeric support in the efficient preparation of the 2-benzazepine 58 via a phosphine-free palladium-catalysed Heck reaction from 57 <06T10456>. 

Benzofurans and dihydrobenzofurans have been prepared on polymeric supports by the palladium-mediated reaction of 2-iodophenols with dienes or alkynes (Entries 1 and 2, Table 15.9). This reaction is closely related to the synthesis of indoles from 2-iodoanilines, and probably proceeds via an intermediate palladacycle (Figure 15.3). Benzofuran and isobenzofuran derivatives have also been prepared on cross-linked polystyrene by intramolecular addition of aryl radicals to C=C double bonds and by intramolecular Heck reaction. 

Schwarz et al. [326] synthesised a functionalised bis-imidazolium salt with hydroxy end groups on the wingtips [327,328] and used it in the formation of chelating cw-bis-carbene complexes of palladium(ll) applied as catalysts in the Heck reaction. The functional groups were needed to immobilise the catalyst by attachment to a polymeric support [329] (see Figure 3.104). 

B.xiv.c. Intermolecular Heck Reactions on Polymeric Support. Combinatorial chemistry has initiated a reappraisal and consequent renaissance in synthesis of compounds attached to polymeric supports. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that Pd-catalyzed reactions are among the most widely explored reactions for the generation of combinatorial libraries on solid phase. The first example of the intermolecular Heck reaction on solid phase was reported in 1994. In this article, 4-vinylbenzoic acid was attached to Wang resin and coupled with aryl halides/triflates under catalysis with Pd(OAc)2 (Scheme 45). Similar... 

In 2010, Buchmeiser [56] developed a similar system that capitalized on the thermally reversible carboxylation [11] of NHCs (Scheme 31.13, inset). By employing the NHC-CO2 adduct (which essentially is a protected NHC), the reaction conditions did not have to be stringently air- and moisture-free to prevent NHC decomposition. Synthesis of the norbornene-functionalized monomer 37 allowed the molybdenum-catalyzed ROMP with l,4,4a,5,8,8a-hexahydro-l,4,5,8-exo-ewdo-dimethanonaphthalene (a ditopic norbornene) to produce crossHnked polymer 38 with pendant CO2-masked NHCs (Scheme 31.13). Upon heating in the presence of Rh, Ir, or Pd species, the NHC-metal-functionalized polymers 39 were formed and found to contain >20mol% metal, as determined with inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The C02-masked NHC material was found to catalyze the carboxylation of carbonyl compounds and the trimerization of isocyanates upon thermal deprotection (i.e., decarboxylation). Moreover, the NHC-metal-crosslinked materials were found to catalyze Heck reactions, transfer hydrogenations, and also the polymerization of phenylacetylene (M = 8.4 kDa, PDI = 2.45, as determined with GPC in DMF against PS standards). This modular system provides an array of options for catalysis from simple modifications of polymer-supported, C02-masked NHCs. 

Dendritic catalysis have been used in various chemical reactions, including the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, Mizoroki-Heck reaction, hydrogenation reaction, carbonylation and hydroformylation reactions, oxidation reaction, polymerization and oligomerization reactions, arylation reaction, alkylation reaction, and asymmetric synthesis [6]. Recently, dendritic catalysts have been reviewed by Astmc et al. [6], In another review article. Reek et al. reviewed the applications of dendrimers as support for recoverable catalysts and reagents [58]. The authors believed that catalytic performance in these systems depends on used dendritic architecture. 

The aqueous protocol has been applied to combinatorial Heck reactions with resin-bonded iodoarenes, though in such cases water can have a detrimental elfect, which is likely due to folding of hydrophobic polymeric support. 

Imidazolium-styrene copolymers were prepared by copolymerization of 1-vi-nyl-3-butylimidazolinm-based ionic liquids ([VBImJX, X=C1 , BF ", and PFg) with styrene, which were used as polymeric supports to immobilize Pd(OAc)2 using a method of alcohol reduction [22]. It was demonstrated that Pd existed in the form of Pd nanoparticles (NPs) on these imidazolium-styrene copolymers. Using the [VBIm]Cl-styiene copolymer as a support, Pd NPs of less than 6 nm were formed, which was particularly interesting, as usually only a Pd carbene complex was formed when Pd(OAc)2 was treated with 1,3-dialkyimidazolium ionic liquids containing a halide anion. The copolymer-supported Pd catalysts were found to be efficient and reusable catalysts for the Heck reaction in water in the absence of a phosphine ligand and phase-transfer catalyst. 

Other polymeric catalysts have also been investigated. Examples are seen in the supported oxime-based Hgands 54 [151d] and 55 [151e]. Both are active for the Heck reaction in water. The latter was shown to be efficient for the coupling of heterocychc aryl bromides with tert-butyl acrylate or styrene under thermal or MW heating [15 le]. 

Most commercial palladium scavengers are designed for use after a reaction - thus at low temperatures. Is the solid poison being considered stable at the temperatures of the reaction Many Heck couplings are used at well over 100°C and some polymeric poisons may bre down under these conditions. This could lead to ineffective poisoning of solution species as well as unwanted interaction of small molecule degradation products with supported palladium species.
