Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organometallic catalysis technology, and particularly relates to a novel water-soluble palladium complex, its synthesis method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] The Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction is a reliable method for constructing carbon-carbon bonds and is one of the most widely used carbon-carbon bond construction reactions in materials and medicinal chemistry. It offers advantages such as high efficiency, air stability, and the use of non-toxic organoboron reagents, making it widely applicable in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and organic materials. However, traditional Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions generally require an exogenous base to promote the transmetallation process. Due to undesirable incompatibility between deboronic acid groups and functional groups, incompatibility of deboronic acid groups or functional groups can sometimes occur. The necessity of the base limits its suitability for highly complex substrates and diverse biomolecules. Furthermore, traditional Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions require organic solvents (such as DMF and t-BuOH), posing environmental pollution problems. With increasing environmental protection requirements, developing solvent-free and exogenous base-free reaction conditions has become a research hotspot.

[0003] Currently, phosphine-based ligands, such as TPPTS, are being used, but catalysts derived from them sometimes exhibit performance limitations; Pd(P-Phos)Cl2 complexes, which are widely used in traditional Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, suffer from side reaction problems.

[0004] In summary, the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction currently faces challenges related to substrate suitability, side reactions, and environmental pollution. Therefore, developing a water-soluble complex catalyst with suitable water solvents and high activity is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

This process was repeated several times to obtain a purified product of a grayish-white solid, yielding bis(1-methyl-3-(3-sulfonylpropyl sodium salt)imidazolium-2-ylidene)palladium diiodide (yield 61%) (compound II-1).

[0099] Step 4) Preparation of the novel water-soluble palladium complex I-1: Under inert conditions, 153.45 mg (0.1571 mmol) of bis(1-methyl-3-(3-sulfonylpropyl sodium salt)imidazolium-2-yl)palladium diiodide and 187.578 mg (0.2954 mmol) of TPPTS (90% purity) were mixed in a 50 mL round-bottom flask and stirred at 30 °C in 3 mL of THF / water (10:1) for 3 hours. The solvent was then removed by rotary evaporation, and the mixture was dried in a vacuum oven at 60 °C for 12 hours to obtain a novel water-soluble palladium complex I-1 (yield 80%).

[0100] The 1H and 1C NMR spectra of the novel water-soluble palladium complex I-1 are shown below. Figure 1 , Figure 2 The detailed analysis is as follows: 1 H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO- D 6) δ 7.61 – 7.57(m, 3H), 7.46 (dd, J = 19.1, 2.5Hz, 1H), 7.37 – 7.32 (m, 2H), 7.09 (tt, J = 7.4, 1.4 Hz, 2H), 6.76 (s, 1H), 3.61 – 3.52 (m, 2H), 2.46 (t, J = 1.9 Hz, 2H), 2.37 (d, J = 3.9 Hz, 2H), 2.28 (d, J = 2.3 Hz, 1H), 2.12 (d, J= 22.6 Hz, 1H), 1.83 (s, 3H), 1.74 – 1.69 (m, 3H). 13 C NMR (101 MHz, DMSO- D 6) δ 148.88, 148.80, 137.40, 136.45, 136.32,135.39, 133.73, 133.58, 131.14, 130.89, 129.27, 128.94, 128.88, 126.93,122.42, 67.55, 50.86, 48.78, 26.34, 25.66, 21.74, 21.30, 21.18. Example 2-12.

[0101] Referring to the preparation method in Example 1, the reaction substrates in steps 1-4 were expanded and replaced, while other aspects remained unchanged, to obtain a series of novel water-soluble palladium complexes. The yields of the final products in Examples 2-12 were 78%, 79%, 77%, 82%, 80%, 78%, 82%, 81%, 78%, 82%, and 80%, respectively. The reaction substrates and final products of each example are shown in Tables 1-2.

[0106] Application: Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction In a dry, nitrogen-purged 25 mL double-necked round-bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar and a reflux condenser, 3-bromo-1,1'-biphenyl (125 mg, 0.536 mmol) and a catalyst (0.536 μmol) were charged. The system was evacuated and backfilled with N2 for three cycles. 5 mL of degassed water was injected via syringe. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes, followed by the sequential addition of phenylboronic acid (98.1 mg, 0.804 mmol) and a base (1.07 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to 100 °C and stirred under reflux for 20 hours. After cooling, the mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (20 mL), washed with water, and the organic layer was dried, filtered, and concentrated. Quantitative analysis was performed using 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene (TMB) as an internal standard. 1 Yield was determined by 1H NMR (qNMR), and the results are shown in Table 4.

[0107] Table 4 shows the application effects of each embodiment in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction.

[0108] As shown in Tables 1-13 above, under the same reaction conditions and with the addition of the same amount of K2CO3, the novel water-soluble palladium complex exhibits good yield and TON, both of which are higher than those of the standard ligand Pd(P-Phos)Cl2.

[0109] The results from Table 2#, 14#, and 15# show that under the same reaction conditions, for the same novel water-soluble palladium complex I-1, the reaction yield and TON were higher when K2CO3 was added than when NaOH or KOH were used.
