Ligand-free palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative coupling reactions of aryl iodides and alkynyl carboxylic acids

An Efficient and Sustainable Approach to Decarboxylative Cross-Coupling Using Silica Coated Magnetic Copper Nanocatalyst for the Synthesis of Internal Alkynes

A highly efficient magnetically separable copper nanocatalyst has been developed for decarboxylative cross-coupling reaction for the alkynylation of haloarenes using alkynoic acid as a reaction partner. The chemical nature, morphology, size, and magnetic properties of the prepared nanocatalyst were studied by SEM, TEM, EDS, FT-IR, VSM, and ICP techniques. Remarkably, this catalyst represents the first successful copper based heterogeneous system for this type of coupling that provides a low-cost, stable, and environmentally friendly magnetically recoverable entity that can be re-used for seven consecutive runs without appreciable loss in its catalytic performance.

Facile one-pot synthesis of diarylacetylenes from arylaldehydes via an addition-double elimination process

A practical one-pot protocol has been developed to synthesize diarylacetylenes from arylaldehydes by treatment with 1-(arylmethyl)benzotriazoles and LiN(SiMe3)2. The reaction proceeded through imine formation, Mannich-type addition and double elimination to deliver products in up to 99% yields with broad substrate scope. In addition, gram-scale synthesis of 1-bromo-4-(phenylethynyl)benzene has been demonstrated.

Pd-Catalyzed decarboxylative alkynylation of alkynyl carboxylic acids with arylsulfonyl hydrazides via a desulfinative process

The decarboxylative alkynylation of alkynyl carboxylic acids and arylsulfonyl hydrazides by desulfinative coupling could provide aryl alkynes in satisfactory yields by either judiciously selecting palladium catalysts or modulating phosphine ligands under mild conditions.

Cross-coupling reactivity of 1,1-dichloroalkenes under palladium catalysis: domino synthesis of diarylalkynes

An efficient synthesis of diarylalkynes was achieved from the domino cross-coupling reaction of 1,1-dichloroalkenes with triarylbismuth reagents under palladium-catalyzed conditions.

Pd(NHC)PEPPSI-diazonium salts: an efficient blend for the decarboxylative Sonogashira cross coupling reaction

Pd(NHC) complexes catalyzed the synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical internal alkynes with a broad spectrum of substrates that includes aromatic and heteroaromatic diazonium salts.

Supported palladium nanoparticles-catalyzed decarboxylative coupling approaches to aryl alkynes, indoles and pyrrolines synthesis

The polystyrene supported palladium (Pd@PS) nanoparticles catalyzed decarboxylative coupling of arylhalides and alkynyl carboxylic acids was developed for the synthesis of diaryl alkynes, indoles and pyrrolines.
