The PS-PEG resin-supported palladium–terpyridine catalyst was recovered simply by filtering the product mixture under air and could be reused three times with only slightly decreased catalytic activity after each use. Key words: Sonogashira, palladium, terpyridine, water, cross-coupling 1. INTRODUCTION organic solvent or metal-contaminated wastes are The palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction produced; and (2) the presence of oxygen and between an aryl halide and a terminal alkyne, the moisture do not negatively affect the reaction. so-called Sonogashira reaction [1], is recognized These benefits therefore allow the Sonogashira as being the most successful method for forming coupling reaction to be performed meeting the an sp2 carbon–sp3 carbon bond. Since its requirements of “green chemistry”. discovery by Sonogashira and co-workers in 1975, a vast amount of research has been performed cat 1. ( 5mol% Pd) into its synthetic applications and on improving X + R1 R1 the reaction efficiency [2]. However, one of the Et3N, in H2O 100 °C, 12 h, air 2 3 4 major problems with using the Sonogashira (without Cu) reaction lies in the reaction conditions that are required. The use of a homogeneous mixture of a palladium catalyst and a copper reagent PEG 3000 N O (co-catalyst) is frequently required to promote the PS O N C N Pd+Cl n H reaction, and this leads to the coupling products Cl- n = 60~74 N being contaminated with considerable amounts of 1 metal residues. We have recently developed a copper-free Sonogashira coupling reaction using Scheme 1.

The polymeric catalyst consists of a polymer, a linkage moiety, 2. EXPERIMENTAL SECTION and a catalytic center prepared from a transition 2.1 General methods metal and a phosphine-based ligand. Therefore, All of the procedures were carried out under the catalytic reactions are carried out under aerobic conditions. Water was deionized using a nitrogen atmosphere to avoid the phosphine Millipore Milli-Q Gradient A10 system. NMR ligands being oxidized [4,5]. spectra were recorded using a Bruker AVANCE 1 We recently developed an amphiphilic spectrometer (500 MHz for H and 125 MHz for 13 polystyrene–poly(ethylene glycol) (PS-PEG) C), a Bruker AV400N spectrometer (400 MHz 1 13 resin-supported terpyridine–metal complex. We for H and 100 MHz for C), and a Hitachi 1 have found that it is an effective catalyst for R1900 spectrometer (90 MHz for H and 22 MHz 13 1 13 coupling reactions in water under heterogeneous for C). H and C NMR spectra were recorded and aerobic conditions, and that it is highly at 25 °C, with the compound for analysis recyclable when used in that way [6]. As an dissolved in CDCl3 or dimethyl sulfoxide-d6 13 extension to that study, we investigated the (DMSO-d6). The C chemical shifts are given ability of a PS-PEG-supported relative to the CDCl3 and DMSO-d6 internal terpyridine–palladium(II) complex standards (δ 77.0 ppm and 39.7 ppm, (PS-PEG–terpyridine–Pd) to catalyze the respectively). Mass spectra were measured using Sonogashira coupling reaction in water. Herein, a JEOL JMS-T100GCv MS (gas we report the results of this investigation, and chromatography–mass spectrometry) instrument show that the complex effectively catalyzes the or a JEOL JMS-T100LP MS (liquid Sonogashira coupling reactions between various chromatography–mass spectrometry) instrument, aryl halides and alkynes in water under aerobic and the base peak of a mass spectrum is labeled conditions (Scheme 1).
