Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed Heck arylations in the polar and robust ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (bmimPF(6)), have for the first time been accomplished under microwave irradiation. The couplings were efficiently performed in sealed tubes within 5-45 min of heating. Without significant reductions in yield, a phosphine-free ionic catalyst phase could be recycled in five successive 20 min reactions at 180 degrees C. The product was easily removed from the reaction medium by distillation.
