A highly active palladium catalyst for Suzuki coupling reactions can be generated from palladium diacetate and 2-(di-tert-butylphosphino)biphenyl. Potassium fluoride is the preferred base for this system. The coupling of both bromides and chlorides proceeds at room temperature in excellent yields as exemplified by the preparation of 3-phenylthio-phene 46. Cross-coupling between 2-bromothiophene and diethyl(3-pyridmyl)borane gives a pyridinyl 2-substituted thiopene 47. ...

The group of Ley has reported on the use of palladium-doped perovskites as recyclable and reusable catalysts for Suzuki couplings [151]. Microwave-mediated cross-couplings of phenylboronic acid with aryl halides were achieved within 1 h by utilizing the supported catalyst (0.25 mol% palladium) in aqueous 2-propanol (Scheme 7.127). The addition of water was crucial as attempted transformations in non-aqueous mixtures did not proceed.

To date, reports have involved palladium catalysts for Suzuki and Sono-gashira coupling reactions [63-66], rhodium catalysts for silylations of alcohols by trialkylsilanes [67,68], and tin-, hafnium-, and scandium-based Lewis acid catalysts for Baeyer-Villiger and Diels-Alder reactions [69]. Regardless of exact mechanism, this recovery strategy represents an important direction for future research and applications development. Finally, a particularly elegant protocol where CO2 pressure is used instead of temperature to desorb a fluorous rhodium hydrogenation catalyst from fluorous silica gel deserves emphasis [28].

Bicyclic complexes containing an azetidine ring and a palladium atom 525 have been shown to be effective catalysts in Suzuki coupling reactions with bromobenzenes and with the generally less reactive chlorobenzenes. The catalyst was stable in air for several months without loss of activity and the catalyst loading in the reaction could be lowered to 0.1% without a decrease of yield in the reactions studied <2005JOM2306>. 

Leadbeater and Griffiths developed palladium catalysts for the Suzuki cross-coupling of aryl halides bearing two ortho substituents with phenylboronic acid, and used them in the synthesis of sterically hindered biaryls [83]. 

Zhang and Allen [97] have recently reported an easily prepared, air- and moisture-stable resin-bound palladium catalyst for the Suzuki coupling reaction. Commercially available resin-bound thiourea, Deloxan THP II [98], was used as the starting material. The resin-bound catalyst was prepared simply by treating the wet Deloxan resin with a solution of Pd(OAc)2 in methanol. Suzuki coupling reactions were then carried out using the resin at a...

The first studies that intentionally used colloidal nanocatalysts were reported independently by Beller et al. [50] and Reetz et al. [51] using chemical reduction and electrochemical techniques, respectively, to synthesize colloidal palladium nanoparticles for the Heck reaction. Both Beller and Reetz concluded that the solution-phase catalysis occurred on the surface of the nanoparticle, without confirming that a homogeneous catalytic pathway was nonexistent. Le Bars et al. [52] demonstrated an inverse relationship between the size of Pd nanoparticles and the TOF (normalized to the total number of surface atoms) for the Heck reaction (Fig. 18.4a). After normalizing the rate to the density of defect sites (for each nanoparticle size) (Fig. 18.4b), the TOF for all particle sizes was identical. Colloidal PVP-capped palladium nanoparticles synthesized by ethanol reduction are effective catalysts for Suzuki cross-coupling reactions in aqueous solution [53]. The El-Sayed group reported that the initial rate of reaction increased linearly with the concentration of Pd nanoparticles [53] and the catalytic activity was inversely proportional to the... 

The cationic palladium(II) complex [Pd(24a)3Cl]+ of the para-isomer of 24a (M = Na) catalyzes the carbonylation of benzyl chloride in basic medium to give phenyl-acetic acid in high yields. The Pd(0) complex [Pd(24a)3], formed by reduction of [Pd(24a)3Cl]+ with CO, is asumed to be the catalytic species [93] (see Scheme 1). Palladium complexes of ligands related to 24a (M = Na) have also been employed in aqueous ethylene glycol phases as catalysts for Suzuki-type C—C cross-coupling reactions for the syntheses of substituted biphenyls (cf. Section 6.6) [97]. 

Palladium species immobilized on various supports have also been applied as catalysts for Suzuki cross-coupling reactions of aryl bromides and chlorides with phenylboronic acids. Polymers, dendrimers, micro- and meso-porous materials, carbon and metal oxides have been used as carriers for Pd particles or complexes for these reactions. Polymers as supports were applied by Lee and Valiyaveettil et al. (using a particular capillary microreactor) [173] and by Bedford et al. (very efficient activation of aryl chlorides by polymer bound palladacycles) [174]. Buch-meiser et al. reported on the use of bispyrimidine-based Pd catalysts which were anchored onto a polymer support for Suzuki couplings of several aryl bromides [171]. Investigations of Corma et al. [130] and Plenio and coworkers [175] focused on the separation and reusability of Pd catalysts supported on soluble polymers. Astruc and Heuze et al. efficiently converted aryl chlorides using diphosphino Pd(II)-complexes on dendrimers [176].
