General description

Palladium-tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) (Pd(PPh3)4) iscoordination complex of palladium and is widely used palladium cross-coupling catalyst. These applications include Negishi coupling, Suzuki coupling, Stille coupling, Sonogashira coupling, and Buchwald-Hartwig amination reactions.




Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (Pd(PPh3)4) is a commonly used palladium(0) complex in chemical synthesis. It plays a vital role as a catalyst in various organic reactions, especially C-C, C-N, C-O, and C-heteroatom cross-coupling reactions. Pd(PPh3)4 finds extensive application in carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions such as the famous Heck, Suzuki-Miyaura, and Stille reactions. These reactions involve the coupling of aryl, alkyl, or vinyl halides with other organic compounds to yield valuable products. The catalytic cycle involves the oxidative addition of the organic halide to palladium(0), transmetalation with a suitable organometallic reagent or boronic acid, and reductive elimination to form the desired product. Pd(PPh3)4 has also been utilized in various other transformations including allylic substitutions, nucleophilic additions to alkenes and alkynes, and cycloadditions.

Application

Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) can be used as a catalyst in:



  • Negishi coupling (eq. 1), Suzuki coupling (eq. 2), Stille coupling (eq. 3), Sonogashira coupling reaction (eq. 4), and Buchwald-Hartwig amination reaction (eq. 5)
  • The carbonylation of vinyl iodides (eq. 6)
  • The reduction reaction of aryl bromides (eq. 7)
  • Carbon-tin bond formation (eq. 8)

A novel fluorescent conjugated polymer (poly(2-amino-N-(2-((4-ethynylphenyl) ethynyl) phenyl)-5-guanidinopentanamide)-1,4-phenylethynylene-1,4-phenyleneethynylene, PPE-Arg) was synthesized in this paper. We found that PPE-Arg could be quenched by picric acid (PA). Photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mechanism can be used to describe the fluorescence quenching of PPE-Arg.

Sandwich-type clusters with the planar fragment containing a heterometallic sheet have remained elusive. In this work, we introduce the [K(2,2,2-crypt)]4{(Ge9)2[η6-Ge(PdPPh3)3]} complex that contains a heterometallic sandwich fragment. The title compound is structurally characterized by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction, which
