Abstract
Facile, high yielding, one-pot methods for the synthesis of a library of diversely substituted bi-aryls, diarylethenes, and aryl-enoates, via Suzuki and Heck reactions, and by sequential Wittig-Suzuki, Wittig-Heck, Horner-Emmons-Suzuki, and Horner-Emmons-Heck reactions are reported. The reactions employ piperidine-appended imidazolium ionic liquid [PAIM][NTf2] as a task-specific basic-IL, butyl-methyl-imidazolium ionic liquid [BMIM][X] (X=PF6, BF4) as solvent, and catalytic amounts of Pd(OAc)2, with no other additives. Wittig and Horner-Emmons reactions are effected by reacting substituted benzaldehydes with 4-bromobenzyl-PPh3 (or bromomethyl-PPh3) phosphonium salts, or diethylphosphonate with bromobenzaldehydes respectively, to form the corresponding ethenes. Subsequent cross-coupling reactions are accomplished by addition of aryl-boronic acid or phenyl-ethenes along with Pd(OAc)2 to bring about the aforementioned hyphenated transformations. The feasibility to perform double-olefination via Wittig and Horner-Emmons reactions with dialdehydes to form highly conjugated bis-styryl and bis-enoate compounds is also shown. The [BMIM][X] solvent is recycled and reused.
