We report the synthesis of 2-(3-sulfonatomesityl)-5-sulfonatoindenyl)dicyclohexylphosphine hydrate sodium salt and its use in palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura and Sonogashira coupling reactions in water (and biphasic water-organic solvent mixtures) to prepare a variety of functionalized biaryls and aryl alkynes in excellent yield.
Cyclodextrins (CDs) and their derivatives have good prospects in soil remediation application due to their ability to enhance the stability and solubility of low water-soluble compounds by inclusion performance. To investigate the effect of different structural properties of cyclodextrin and its derivatives on the inclusion complexation, molecular dynamic (MD) simulations were performed on the inclusion complexes formed by three kinds of CDs with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Based on neutral β-CD, the other two CDs were modified by introducing substitutional groups, including 2-hydroxypropyl and sulfonated butyl (SBE) functional groups in the ring structure, called HP-CD and SBE-CD. MD results show that PAH can merely enter into the cavity of SBE–β-CD from its wide rim. The substitutional groups significantly affect the structure of CDs, which may also cause the flipping of the glucose units. However, the substitutional groups can also enlarge the volume of the hydrophobic cavity, resulting in a tight combination with the guest molecules.
We report the synthesis of 2-(anthracen-9-yl)-1H-inden-3-yl dicyclohexylphosphine and its use in palladium-catalyzed borylation/Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction to prepare a variety of symmetrical and unsymmetrical biaryl compounds in excellent yield.
Phenylphosphinacalix[3]trifuran and supramolecular assemblies with palladium have been synthesized. Phenylphosphinacalix[3]trifuran affords turnover numbers as high as 3.05 × 107 in Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions in pure water.
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.
