Abstract
The Heck arylation of 2-methylprop-2-en-1-ol in ionic liquids and organic solvents is reported using a range of homogeneous and heterogeneous palladium catalysts. Higher activity is observed in the ionic liquid media compared with N-methylpyrrolidinone and under solventless conditions. The ionic liquid-catalyst system may be recycled easily with little loss in activity, although significant palladium leaching from the heterogeneous catalyst was observed. In the case of trans-bis(2,3-dihydro-3-methylbenzothiazole-2-ylidene)diiodopalladium(II) reported to be highly active for this transformation, significant induction periods were observed indicating that nanoparticles may be responsible for the catalysis. Using the ionic liquid Heck reaction, a recyclable synthesis for the fragrance β-Lilial ® has been developed.
