A NCN-pincer-Pd complex have been synthetized and applied to Hiyama-type cross-coupling reactions between aryl halides and different types of organosilanes using neoteric solvents. This report constitutes a green approach to cross-coupling reactions since the reagents employed are stable and non-toxic. The solvents used (Deep Eutectic Solvents based on choline chloride or glycerol) are also biodegradable, non-toxic, non-flammable and biorenewable. Furthermore, the catalytic system can be recycled, allowing to perform the reaction for at least three cycles without adding more catalyst or solvent, increasing the value of the process from an economical and environmental point of view. The effect of these solvents on the catalytic activity has been studied. Finally, a gram-scale reaction has also been tested affording biaryl products in high yields and purity by a simple liquid-liquid extraction, without the need of aqueous work-up or chromatographic steps, proving the applicability of this approach in a sustainable industrial scale.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
