Abstract
The Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling (SMCC) involves the coupling of organohalides and organoboron molecules in the presence of Pd(II)-based catalysts. Often SMCC reactions employ homogenous catalysts. However, such homogenous SMCC reactions are associated with certain limitations which has motivated design of effective and sustainable Pd(II)-based heterogeneous catalytic systems. Herein, we report a systematic development of a Pd(II)-immobilized and triptycene based ionic hyper crosslinked polymer (Pd@TP-iHCP) and explored its application as a heterogeneous catalyst for SMCC reaction. Pd@TP-iHCP has ample N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) pendants that anchor Pd(II) centres on the polymeric matrix. Pd@TP-iHCP was characterized satisfactorily using FT-IR, 13 C CP-MAS NMR, BET surface area analysis, SEM, EDX and HRTEM. The performance of Pd@TP-iHCP as a heterogeneous catalyst for SMCC reactions was explored using various combinations of aryl boronic acids and aryl halides. Experimental results show that Pd@TP-iHCP is associated with a moderately high surface area. It is an efficient catalyst for SMCC (in aqueous media) with a modest loading of 0.8 mol % Pd(II)-catalyst since high yields of the expected products were obtained in shorter time intervals. Pd@TP-iHCP also features excellent stability and catalyst recyclability since it could be re-used for several cycles without any significant decrease in catalytic efficiency.
