Heterogeneous Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling between Aryl Chlorides and Alkyllithiums Using a Polystyrene-Cross-Linking Bisphosphine Ligand

A polystyrene-cross-linking bisphosphine ligand PS-DPPBz was used for Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling with organolithiums. A bench-stable precatalyst [NiCl2(PS-DPPBz)] enabled efficient coupling reactions between aryl chlorides and alkyllithiums. The heterogeneous Ni system showed good reusability. (Figure presented.).

Copolymer-incarcerated nickel nanoparticles with N-heterocyclic carbene precursors as active cross-linking agents for Corriu-Kumada-Tamao reaction

We have developed heterogeneous polymer-incarcerated nickel nanoparticles (NPs), which catalyze cross-coupling reactions. The matrix structure of these catalysts incorporates both N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) as ligands and Ni-NPs, thanks to a new design of cross-linking agents in polymer supports. These embedded NHCs were detected by field gradient swollen-resin magic angle spinning NMR analysis. They were successfully applied to Corriu-Kumada-Tamao reactions with a broad substrate scope including functional group tolerance, and the catalyst could be recovered and reused several times without loss of activity.

Microwave-assisted regioselective alkylation of naphthalene compounds using alcohols and zeolite catalysts

Regioselective alkylation of naphthalene compounds with alcohols smoothly proceeded in the presence of zeolite catalysts under microwave irradiation. A H-mordenite (H-M) zeolite catalyst (SiO2/Al2O3 ratio = 240) showed the highest efficiency. In the microwave reactions, high reaction rates and high selectivities for 2,6-dialkylnaphthalenes were achieved. In the best case for the reaction of 2-isopropylnaphthalene with isopropyl alcohol, the conversion and the selectivity were 43.5% and 66.4%, respectively. In di-tert-butylation of naphthalene with tert-butyl alcohol, the conversion and the selectivity reached 86.5% and 70.4%, respectively. The conversions and the selectivities were generally higher than those obtained by conventional oil bath heating.
