Abstract:
A novel palladium polyaniline complex (Pd@PANI) was synthesized via a one-pot method using a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide (3 wt%) as a mild oxidant. Pd@PANI was employed to catalyze Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings with 0.11 ppm levels of palladium and high turnover numbers (up to 6.1 × 104). Various aromatic halides and aromatic boric acids were used as reaction partners to prepare the biaryl compounds in high yields. Application of the method in the synthesis of D-fructose derivatives was also performed. Furthermore, the catalyst was evaluated under a flow process to provide the corresponding products in good yields with shorter residence times and lower temperatures in more convenient operations compared with the batch conditions.

The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
