Abstract
An immobilized N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-Pd complex was prepared via direct silyl linker installation onto the imidazole backbone of commercially available 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene (IPr) ligand. The IPr backbone was lithiated and treated with Me2SiCl2 to afford ClMe2Si-IPr, which reacted with [Pd(π-allyl)Cl]2 to yield a ClMe2Si-IPr-Pd complex, and this was immobilized on Wang resin. The immobilized NHC-Pd complex facilitated quantitative Buchwald–Hartwig amination of aryl chlorides within 10 min, even at a low Pd loading of 0.2 mol %. The catalyst could be removed from the reaction mixture by simple filtration, and Pd leaching into the reaction medium was suppressed to below 1 ppm.
