Abstract:The continuous flow Suzuki-Miyaura reaction between various haloarenes and arylboronic acids was successfully achieved within only ca. 20 s during the single-pass through a cartridge filled with palladium on carbon (Pd/C). No palladium leaching was observed in the collected reaction solution by atomic absorption spectrometry (detection limit: 1 ppm).
An efficient and practical protocol for the flow hydrogenation of aromatic rings was developed. The hydrogenation of a variety of aromatic compounds, such as benzene, furan, and pyridine derivatives, could be completed within only 20 s during a single pass through a catalyst cartridge containing 10 % rhodium on carbon (Rh/C) or 10 % ruthenium on carbon (Ru/C) under neutral conditions. The protocol was successfully applied to a 10 mmol scale reaction. Furthermore, the 10 % Rh/C and 10 % Ru/C did not deteriorate during the entire study.
We have developed a highly chemoselective hydrogenation method using a novel palladium catalyst supported on spherical carbon (0.5 % Pd/SC). The 0.5 % Pd/SC exhibited a novel catalytic activity and could achieve the chemoselective hydrogenation of alkynes, alkenes, azides, nitro groups, and aliphatic O‐tert‐butyldimethylsilyl (TBS) ethers without hydrogenolysis of benzyl esters, benzyl ethers, nitriles, aromatic ketones, N‐carbobenzyloxy (N‐Cbz) protective groups, and aromatic O‐TBS ethers.
