Oxidation reactions palladium synthesis

We showed that the application of PEG/CO2 biphasic catalysis is also possible in aerobic oxidations of alcohols [15]. With regard to environmental aspects it is important to develop sustainable catalytic technologies for oxidations with molecular oxygen in fine chemicals synthesis, as conventional reactions often generate large amoimts of heavy metal and solvent waste. In the biphasic system, palladium nanoparticles can be used as catalysts for oxidation reactions because the PEG phase both stabilises the catalyst particles and enables product extraction with SCCO2.

The arylamine 780b required for the total synthesis of carbazomycin B (261) was obtained by catalytic hydrogenation, using 10% palladium on activated carbon, of the nitroaryl derivative 784 which was obtained in six steps and 33% overall yield starting from 2,3-dimethylphenol 781 (see Scheme 5.85). Electrophilic substitution of the arylamine 780b with the iron-complex salt 602 provided the iron complex 787 in quantitative yield. The direct, one-pot transformation of the iron complex 787 to carbazomycin B 261 by an iron-mediated arylamine cyclization was unsuccessful, probably because the unprotected hydroxyarylamine moiety is too sensitive towards the oxidizing reaction conditions. However, the corresponding 0-acetyl derivative... 

A copper(ii) oxide-catalyzed regioselective synthesis of 1-alkyl- and l-aryl-l//-indazoles from ortho-hzXogcnztcA alkanoylphenones, benzophenones, and arylcarboxylic acids with hydrazines in the presence of potassium carbonate has been developed <20070L525>. A palladium-catalyzed C-H activation/intramolecular amination reaction sequence provided a new route to 3-aryl/alkylindazoles <20070L2931>. 

SAPC can perform a broad spectrum of reactions such as hydroformylation, hydrogenation and oxidation, for the synthesis of bulk and fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals and their intermediates. Rhodium complexes are the most extensively used, but complexes of ruthenium, platinum, palladium, cobalt, molybdenum and copper have also been employed [63-65]. Owing to interfacial reactions, one of the main advantages of SAPC upon biphasic catalysis is that the solubility of the reactant in the catalytic aqueous-phase does not limit the performance of the supported aqueous phase catalysts. 

Transition metal complexes, zeolites, biomimetic catelysts have been widely used for various oxidation reactions of industrial and environmental importance [1-3]. However, few heterogenized polymeric catalysts have also been applied for such purpose. Mild condition oxidation catalyzed by polymer anchored complexes is attractive because of reusability and selectivity of such catalysts. Earlier we have reported synthesis of cobalt and ruthenium-glycine complex catalysts and their application in olefin hydrogenation [4-5]. In present study, we report synthesis of the palladium-glycine complex on the surface of the styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer by sequential attachment of glycine and metal ions and investigation of oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde which has been widely used as fine chemicals as well as an intermidiate in dyes and drugs.

Since palladium is an expensive noble metal, palladium species have mainly been employed as catalysts in organic synthesis and examples of stoichiometric applications are relatively few. In many synthetically useful Pd-catalyzed reactions, palladium species interconvert their oxidation states between Pd(0) and Pd(II) in the catalytic cycles. For these catalytic reactions, both appropriate Pd(0) and Pd(II) species work similarly well as catalyst precursors. Among the examples of these reactions are the Heck reaction, TT-allylpalladium-mediated reactions, and cross-coupling. This concept is illustrated in Scheme 1. Most of these Pd-catalyzed reactions have been extended to their asymmehic counterparts by employing chirally modified palladium complexes. In general, these chiral palladium catalysts are generated in the reaction solution from appropriate palladium...
