Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nanocatalyst technology, and more specifically, relates to the application of a temperature-controlled phase-transfer Pd nanocatalyst in the Heck reaction. Background Technology
[0002] The Heck reaction is a coupling reaction in which unsaturated haloalkanes react with alkenes under strong base and palladium catalysis to form substituted alkenes. It is an important class of carbon-carbon bond formation reactions in organic synthesis. In recent decades, the Heck reaction has achieved significant progress in the field of homogeneous catalysis. In homogeneous systems, palladium catalysts are dissolved in the reaction system, allowing for sufficient contact with the reactants and resulting in high reactivity and selectivity. Traditionally, homogeneous palladium catalysts are often used in combination with phosphine ligands to improve catalytic efficiency by adjusting the electronic properties and spatial configuration of the metal center.
[0003] However, existing homogeneous catalytic systems face a series of challenges in practical applications. First, conventional phosphine ligands are prone to oxidative deactivation under high temperature or aerobic conditions. Second, the separation of catalyst and product is difficult, leading to the residue and loss of the precious metal palladium, which not only increases production costs but also affects product purity and limits catalyst recycling. Therefore, how to achieve efficient separation and recovery of catalyst while ensuring catalytic activity has become a key problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.
[0004] To address these challenges, researchers have recently developed thermoregulated phase transfer (TPT) catalysis. This technique introduces specific functional groups into ligands or promoters, enabling the catalyst to reversibly migrate between two phases (e.g., aqueous and organic phases) at different temperatures. As the temperature increases, weak interactions such as hydrogen bonds are disrupted, allowing the catalyst to migrate from the polar phase to the organic phase to participate in the reaction. After the reaction, cooling causes the catalyst to return to the polar phase, achieving separation and recovery. This strategy combines the advantages of high homogeneous catalytic activity and easy separation in heterogeneous catalysis, and has demonstrated excellent performance in reactions such as olefin hydrogenation, hydroformylation, and Suzuki coupling. However, existing TPT systems are mostly based on nano-metal catalysts containing polyether chains, and research on thermoregulated reversible design for small-molecule phosphine ligands is relatively limited. Especially in palladium-catalyzed CC coupling reactions, traditional phosphine ligands struggle to simultaneously achieve both efficient phase transfer functionality and precise electronic control capabilities.
[0005] Therefore, providing a novel temperature-controlled phase-transfer Pd nanocatalyst and its application in the Heck reaction is of great significance for constructing green and sustainable catalytic processes. Summary of the Invention

[0028] Depend on Figure 4 The 1H NMR spectrum of chloro(phenyl)[2',4',6'-triisopropyl-3,6-dimethoxy-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-yl]phosphine is as follows: 1H NMR (600 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.71 (dt,2H,CH), 7.51-7.27 (m, 3H,CH), 7.03-6.84 (m, 3H,CH), 6.58-6.50 (m, 1H,CH), 3.75-3.59 (m, 6H,CH3), 3.56 (s,2H,CH), 2.88 (q,1H,CH), 1.13 (d,12H,CH3), 1.00 (s, 6H,CH3).
[0029] Depend on Figure 5 It can be seen that 2869 cm⁻¹ in the infrared spectrum -1 These correspond to the asymmetric and symmetric stretching vibrations of the isopropyl group, respectively. 1635 cm⁻¹ -1 This is a stretching vibration of the aromatic C=C skeleton, 1348 cm⁻¹ -1 The vibration is a deformational vibration of -CH3, 1248 cm. -1This is due to CO stretching absorption of the -OCH3 group on the aromatic ring.

[0031] Example 2: Preparation of temperature-controlled phase transfer Pd nanocatalysts 0.5 mL of 0.5 mg / mL Na₂PdCl₄ aqueous solution, 3.5 mL of deionized water, 3.2 mg of the phosphine ligand prepared in Example 1 (2 eq relative to palladium each time), and 2 mL of n-pentanol were added sequentially to a polytetrafluoroethylene liner. The autoclave was then tightened and purged five times with 1 MPa of hydrogen gas, followed by 4 MPa of hydrogen gas. The autoclave was placed in a constant-temperature oil bath at 80 °C, and the rotor speed was set to 350 r / min. After reacting for 3 h, the autoclave was removed and cooled in an ice-water bath for 2 h. After cooling, the pressure was released and the autoclave was opened. The aqueous phase in the liner was observed to be brownish-black, while the upper organic phase was colorless and transparent, indicating that the reaction was complete. After separation, the temperature-controlled phase-transfer Pd nanocatalyst was obtained, denoted as P. TPT22 -Pd.
[0032] The PTPT prepared in Example 2 was verified by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. 22 - Valence state of palladium in Pd nanocatalyst: Under argon protection, 0.5 mL of temperature-controlled phase-transfer Pd nanocatalyst was placed in a cuvette, diluted with deionized water, and then subjected to UV-Vis spectroscopy.

[0034] Example 3: Application of temperature-controlled phase-transfer Pd nanocatalysts in the Heck reaction In this embodiment, the temperature-controlled phase transfer Pd nanocatalyst prepared in Example 2 is used for the Heck reaction of iodobenzene and butyl acrylate.
[0035] 1) Under argon protection, add 4 mL of water, 2 mL of toluene, and 0.106 mg of P to a pre-filled container. TPT22 0.1 mL of iodobenzene, 0.104 mmol of butyl acrylate, 7.95 mg of cuprous iodide, and 168.94 mg of triethylamine were added to the pressure-resistant reaction tube of -Pd. 2) Under normal pressure argon protection, the pressure-resistant reaction tube of step 1) was placed in an oil bath at 85°C for 150 min. During the reaction, the catalyst was uniformly dispersed in the organic phase, and the system was a black uniform suspension. 3) After the reaction in step 2) is completed, the pressure-resistant reaction tube is naturally cooled to room temperature. At this time, the catalyst precipitates from the organic phase and transfers to the lower water layer. The upper organic phase gradually changes from black to colorless and clear. After standing and separating, the interface between the two phases is clear. The upper organic phase is taken out and analyzed by GC-MS.
[0036] Example 4: Recycling performance of temperature-controlled phase transfer Pd nanocatalysts After the reaction in Example 3 was completed, all the upper toluene layer was removed, and the catalyst was washed with toluene (2 mL × 3). After washing, 2 mL of toluene solvent was added again, followed by an additional 16 mg of phosphine ligand P. TPT22 Argon gas was introduced for protection; the pressure-resistant reaction tube was placed in a constant temperature oil bath at 85℃ and stirred for 150 minutes to allow the phosphine ligand P to react. TPT22 Completely dissolved in the lower aqueous phase, then following the steps of Example 3, iodobenzene, butyl acrylate, triethylamine, and cuprous iodide were added, and the next round of reaction was carried out under the same reaction conditions as in Example 3. The results are as follows. Figure 8 As shown.
[0037] Depend on Figure 8It is evident that the reaction yield gradually decreases with increasing catalytic cycles. Even though the catalyst maintains a certain level of catalytic activity after multiple uses, its effectiveness gradually weakens with time and the number of cycles. Possible reasons for this phenomenon include: partial loss of palladium species during each reaction and separation process; accumulation of reaction intermediates or ligands, leading to the covering of active sites and reduced catalytic efficiency; and changes in the phase transfer environment within the reaction system, potentially causing a decrease in the contact efficiency between the catalyst and the substrate, thus affecting the overall reaction rate. Although the catalyst still exhibits high activity in the first three cycles, and the temperature-controlled phase transfer palladium catalytic system demonstrates good reusability under specific conditions, it still shows a tendency for gradual deactivation, indicating the need to improve catalyst stability and activity protection measures.
[0038] Example 5: Effect of different solvent systems on Heck reaction efficiency P prepared in Example 2 was selected TPT22 The Heck reaction was carried out using a Pd catalyst with only the solvent system changed, while keeping other conditions constant. The process is as follows: Under argon protection, 0.106 mg P was added to a pre-filled organic / water two-phase solvent. TPT22 0.1 mL of iodobenzene, 0.104 mmol of butyl acrylate, 7.95 mg of cuprous iodide, and 168.94 mg of triethylamine were added to a pressure-resistant tube containing -Pd. Under atmospheric pressure and argon protection, the pressure-resistant reaction tube was placed in an oil bath at 85 °C and reacted for 150 min. After natural cooling to room temperature, the upper organic phase was collected for GC-MS analysis. The results are shown in Table 1 and... Figure 9 As shown.
[0039] Table 1. Heck reaction results under different solvent systems From Table 1 and Figure 9 It was found that the reaction yield was highest in the pure toluene system, reaching 80%. Adding a small amount of water reduced the yield to 78%, indicating that the presence of water inhibited the catalyst activity. When the solvent was changed to n-pentanol, the yield significantly decreased to 40%; while in the n-pentanol / water mixed solvent or pure water system, the reaction hardly occurred, with a yield of 0%. Therefore, this catalytic system is significantly dependent on the hydrophobicity of the solvent.

[0040] like Figure 10 As shown, P obtained in Example 2 TPT22A Pd catalyst (0.0904 mg Pd) was dissolved in a two-phase system consisting of water (4 mL) and 1-hexanol (2 mL). After standing at room temperature, the catalyst was mainly distributed in the lower aqueous phase; when heated to 47 °C, the catalyst completely migrated to the upper organic phase. Upon cooling to room temperature, the catalyst returned to the aqueous phase, exhibiting reversible phase transfer behavior. The phase transfer temperature P was measured. TPT22 ≈47℃.
