In this work, the catalytic performance of a polymer-supported Pd(II)-salen complex (PS-Pd-salen) as an effective and environmentally friendly catalyst for the Mizoroki-Heck C[sbnd]C cross-coupling reaction is presented. The PS-Pd-salen complex was employed as a catalyst for Mizoroki-Heck reactions of an aryl halide with various terminal alkenes (Styrene, Methyl acrylate, Ethyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, tert-Butyl acrylate) under phosphine free conditions. Moreover, a range of Mizoroki-Heck reactions using different polar solvents, co-solvents, and bases has been investigated. Aryl iodides and bromides with terminal alkene are well activated in C[sbnd]C coupling reactions. All products were isolated by column chromatography as liquids/white to off-white crystalline solids and confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The catalyst could be easily separated by filtrations and reusability of catalyst was also assessed under optimized conditions. The hot filtration test revealed that the catalyst was truly heterogeneous, very active and stable under the reaction conditions and could be reused up to fifth cycles with analogous activities to that of the fresh catalyst. High catalytic activity at a low concentration (30 mg) and flexibility under mild reaction conditions, simple product work-up towards Mizoroki-Heck reactions indicated that PS-Pd-salen was an efficient catalyst for C[sbnd]C coupling reactions. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.

A polymer supported Pd-salen complex (PS-Pd-salen) was synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Fourier-transform NMR spectroscopy (FT-NMR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), surface area and pore size distribution by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The heterogeneous catalytic performance of the PS-Pd-salen for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of variety of phenyl boronic acid with different aryl halides was successfully conducted in water with K2CO3 and 20 mg catalyst loading at room temperature. The coupling reactions with aryl iodides and bromides were achieved at room temperature with good to excellent yield; whereas the reactions with aryl chlorides were performed in aqueous-ethanol (1:1) at 90 °C. The product yields related with the substrates were optimized, and main reaction factors influencing the yields were also recognized. The results clearly indicated that the reaction constraints needed to achieve high yields are substrate-reliant. The hot filtration test verified heterogeneous nature of PS-Pd-salen complex. Moreover, the catalyst showed excellent reusability for five successive runs in slight compromising with its activity. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.

A highly recoverable polymer-supported ionic salen-palladium complex as a catalyst for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling in neat water

The synthesis of polymer supported zinc–salen complex (PS-Zn–salen) is described. The mononuclear zinc(II)–salen complex was characterized by Fourier-transform NMR spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, surface area and pore size distribution by Brunauer–Emmett–Teller. The synthesized PS-Zn–salen complex used as a recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for the efficient synthesis of hydantoins, thiohydantoins and Schiff bases in an aqueous medium. The isolated yields of hydantoins, thiohydantoins and Schiff bases achieved up to 89, 95 and 94%, respectively. In spite of conventional heterogeneous catalysts, current PS-Zn–salen complex shows thermal stability up to 280 °C. Moreover, the catalyst could be recovered easily by simple filtration and reused for next run with slightly declining its activity up to six successive runs. The FT-IR spectrum of recycle catalyst after 6th run confirmed that the catalyst was stable during the course of a reaction. The leaching of metal from the PS-Zn–salen is negligible, which was confirmed by AAS and hot filtration test. © 2017, Springer Science+Business Media B.V., part of Springer Nature.

Facile access to polymer supported zinc–salen complex: highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst for synthesizing hydantoins, thiohydantoins and Schiff bases in aqueous medium

This article presents a review of the most significant developments with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)–palladium catalytic systems used for the Heck reaction. For more than the past two decades, a large number of new NHC–Pd complexes have been synthesized and characterized. These studies focused on NHCs as a phosphine analogue, but the current review highlights the differences with particular ligands so as to attain a suitable balance between the electronic and bulky environments around the metal. NHCs have gained wide recognition as these ligands act as excellent σ-donors that form stable metal–NHCs with strong metal–carbon bonds. For this reason, metal–NHCs are commonly used as they are highly reactive and can selectively serve as catalysts for various chemical transformations. The objective of our article is to highlight significant recent progress in NHC–Pd(II) complexes and provide an overview of their extensive interaction in the Mizoroki–Heck reaction. © 2017 Académie des sciences

Palladium–N-heterocyclic carbene complexes for the Mizoroki–Heck reaction: An appraisal

Polymer-supported Zn-salen (PS-Zn-salen) complexes were synthesized, characterized and used as a catalyst for one-pot oxidative esterification of aldehydes with alcohols. The PS-Zn-salen heterogeneous catalyst exhibited a high-performance for the oxidative esterification of aldehydes to the corresponding methyl/ethyl esters using hydrogen peroxide as a green oxidant. Due to the synergistic effect of polymer support, the heterogeneous catalyst presented superior catalytic activity and afford 100% conversion of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde and 4-chlorobenzaldehyde to corresponding esters under optimized conditions. The different alcohol substrates study (viz. methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, allyl alcohol and benzyl alcohol) showed reasonable selectivity for esters, indicating the scope of the catalysts. Significantly, the synthesized complexes possess good hydrophobic/heterogeneous properties, which permit facile reclamation of the catalyst by using mere filtration. Moreover, the effect of counter anions of complex also studied which indicated that there is no appreciable influence on the conversion of product. The catalyst was reused up to 5th successive run with the average conversion of ester 87.4%. Mechanistic studies have recognized that this “one pot” direct oxidative esterification proceeds through acid formation, proven by a GC–MS. The catalyst is also found to be very stable, up to 280 °C, confirmed by the thermo gravimetric study. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.
