Suzuki reaction of bromoallenes with arylboronic acids was successfully performed by using an air-stable hemilabile P-O coordinated cyclopalladated complex Pd(Ph_2PCH_2CO_2)_2 as a precatalyst,and the corresponding coupling products were obtained in satisfactory to excellent yields.All products are unknown compounds which were characterized by ~1H NMR,^(13)C NMR,IR,and HRMS.
A new method for the preparation of SBA-15-supported palladium catalyst for Heck reaction in supercritical carbon dioxide was presented.The newly formed SBA-15-supported palladium catalyst(Ph-SBA-15-PPh_3-Pd) exhibited high catalytic activity for the Heck reaction of 4-nitrobromobenzene with methyl acrylate.The catalyst can be reused several times without a loss of activity.
