Heck coupling reaction using monomeric ortho‐palladated complex of 4‐methoxy‐ benzoylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane under microwave irradiation

Abstract

The activity of [Pd(C6H4CH2 NH2‐κ2‐C‐N)PPh3MOBPPY]OTf complex, A (MOBPPY = 4‐methoxybenzoylmethylenetriphenyl‐ phosphoraneylide), was investigated in the Heck–Mizoroki CC cross‐coupling reaction under conventional heating and microwave irradiation conditions. The complex is an active and efficient catalyst for the Heck reaction of aryl halides. The yields were excellent using a catalytic amount of [Pd(C6H4CH2 NH2‐κ2‐C‐N)PPh3MOBPPY]OTf complex in N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidinone (NMP) at 130 °C and 600 W. In comparison to conventional heating conditions, the reactions under microwave irradiation gave higher yields in shorter reaction times.

Silica–acetylacetone‐supported palladium nanoparticles as an efficient and reusable catalyst in the Heck–Mizoroki C–C cross‐coupling reaction

“…The extracts were filtered and evaporated to dryness to give methyl trans ‐cinnamate (Table , entry 1) as a pale yellow solid. All products are known compounds and were characterized by comparing their melting points and IR, 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectra with those found in the literature (supporting information) …”
