Nickel-palladium bimetallic nanoparticles supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Ni-Pd/MWCNTs) were prepared by dry mixing of the nickel and palladium salts using the mechanical energy of a ball-mill. These nanoparticles demonstrated remarkable catalytic activity in Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions with a wide range of functionalized aryl halides and terminal alkynes under ligand and copper free conditions using Monowave 50 heating reactor. The catalyst is air-stable and can be easily removed from the reaction mixture by centrifugation and reused several times with minimal loss of catalytic activity. Furthermore, the concentration of catalyst in Sonogashira reactions can be lowered to a minimum amount of 0.01 mol%while still providing a high conversion of the Sonogashira product with an excellent turnover number (TON) of 7200 and turnover frequency (TOF) of 21600 h. The Ni-Pd/MWCNTs nanoparticles were fully characterized by a variety of spectroscopic techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The remarkable reactivity of the Ni-Pd/MWCNTs catalyst toward Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions is attributed to the high degree of the dispersion of Ni-Pdnanoparticles with small particle size of 5-10 nm due to an efficient grinding method. This work provides a facile, solventless and inexpensive method for large-scale preparation of Ni-Pd/MWCNTs to accomplish often-challenging Sonogashira cross coupling reactions.

Nickel-Palladium nanoparticles supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes as an effective catalyst for Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions
Sonogashira cross coupling reactions have a wide range of applications in pharmaceutical industry for drug discovery and organic synthesis of natural products and pharmaceutical compounds. These reactions typically involve the coupling of aryl halides with terminal alkynes in the presence of palladium catalyst under appropriate reaction conditions. Most Sonogashira reactions have been carried out with homogeneous Pd catalysis, in which the catalyst is soluble in the reaction mixture. There are many disadvantages to this method including the difficulty to remove the catalyst from the sample and recyclability. Heterogeneous catalysis is an alternative approach to address the issues associated with homogeneous system mainly due to facile and clean removal of the catalyst and minimum metal residual contamination. Herein, we report the preparation of nickel-palladium nanoparticles supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Ni-Pd/MWCNTs) as an effective heterogeneous catalyst for Sonogashira coupling reactions. The catalyst was prepared by mixing the appropriate ratio of nickel-palladium salts with multi-walled carbon nanotubes using a mechanical power of a ball mill. The nanoparticles prepared by this method were successfully used to catalyze Sonogashira coupling reactions of various substituted aryl halides and terminal alkynes using an equal amount of water and ethanol as an environmentally benign solvent system. This project provides a facile and effective method for largescale preparation of Ni-Pd/MWCNTs to catalyze Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions. The recyclability of the catalyst makes this an affordable and clean option for pharmaceutical and industrial applications.

We have developed an efficient method to generate highly active nickel–palladium bimetallic nanoparticles supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Ni–Pd/MWCNTs) by dry mixing of the nickel and palladium salts utilizing the mechanical energy of a ball-mill. These nanoparticles were successfully employed in Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions with a wide array of functionalized aryl halides and terminal alkynes under ligand and copper free conditions using a Monowave 50 heating reactor. Notably, the concentration of palladium can be lowered to a minimum amount of 0.81% and replaced by more abundant and less expensive nickel nanoparticles while effectively catalyzing the reaction. The remarkable reactivity of the Ni–Pd/MWCNTs catalyst toward Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions is attributed to the high degree of the dispersion of Ni–Pd nanoparticles with small particle size of 5–10 nm due to an efficient grinding method. The catalyst was easily removed from the reaction mixture by centrifugation and reused several times with minimal loss of catalytic activity. Furthermore, the concentration of catalyst in Sonogashira reactions can be reduced to a minimum amount of 0.01 mol% while still providing a high conversion of the Sonogashira product with a remarkable turnover number (TON) of 7200 and turnover frequency (TOF) of 21 600 h −1 . The catalyst was fully characterized by a variety of spectroscopic techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).more » « less

Nickel-Fe3O4 nanoparticles supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Ni-Fe3O4/MWCNTs) were synthesized by mechanical grinding of a sample of nickel salt, Fe3O4 and MWCNTs using a ball-mill mixer. The preparation method allows for bulk production of Ni-Fe3O4 nanoparticles at room temperature without the necessity of any solvent or chemical reagent. The nanoparticles prepared by this method exhibit small particles size of 5–8 nm with uniform dispersion of nickel nanoparticles on the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The Ni-Fe3O4/MWCNTs demonstrated remarkable catalytic activity for Suzuki cross coupling reactions of functionalized aryl halides and phenylboronic acids with excellent turnover number and turnover frequency (e.g., 76,000 h−1) using Monowave 50 conventional heating reactor at 120 °C within a very short reaction time of 15 min. The catalyst is air-stable and exhibits easy removal from the reaction mixture due to its magnetic properties, recyclability with no loss of activity, and significantly better performance than the other well-known commercial nickel catalyst. The Ni-Fe3O4/MWCNTs nanoparticles were fully characterized by a variety of spectroscopic techniques including X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). Since nickel offers similar properties to other more expensive transition metals including the most widely used palladium counterpart in cross coupling catalysis, this work demonstrates a promising lower-cost, air-moisture stable and efficient alternative catalyst based on nickel nanoparticles for cross coupling reactions.more » « less

null (Ed.)Palladium catalyzed cross-coupling reactions represent a significant advancement in contemporary organic synthesis as these reactions are of strategic importance in the area of pharmaceutical drug discovery and development. Supported palladium-based catalysts are highly sought-after in carbon–carbon bond forming catalytic processes to ensure catalyst recovery and reuse while preventing product contamination. This paper reports the development of heterogeneous Pd-based bimetallic catalysts supported on fumed silica that have high activity and selectivity matching those of homogeneous catalysts, eliminating the catalyst's leaching and sintering and allowing efficient recycling of the catalysts. Palladium and base metal (Cu, Ni or Co) contents of less than 1.0 wt% loading are deposited on a mesoporous fumed silica support (surface area SA BET = 350 m 2 g −1 ) using strong electrostatic adsorption (SEA) yielding homogeneously alloyed nanoparticles with an average size of 1.3 nm. All bimetallic catalysts were found to be highly active toward Suzuki cross-coupling (SCC) reactions with superior activity and stability for the CuPd/SiO 2 catalyst. A low CuPd/SiO 2 loading (Pd: 0.3 mol%) completes the conversion of bromobenzene and phenylboronic acid to biphenyl in 30 minutes under ambient conditions in water/ethanol solvent. In contrast, monometallic Pd/SiO 2 (Pd: 0.3 mol%) completes the same reaction in three hours under the same conditions. The combination of Pd with the base metals helps in retaining the Pd 0 status by charge donation from the base metals to Pd, thus lowering the activation energy of the aryl halide oxidative addition step. Along with its exceptional activity, CuPd/SiO 2 exhibits excellent recycling performance with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 280 000 h −1 under microwave reaction conditions at 60 °C. Our study demonstrates that SEA is an excellent synthetic strategy for depositing ultra-small Pd-based bimetallic nanoparticles on porous silica for SCC. This avenue not only provides highly active and sintering-resistant catalysts but also significantly lowers Pd contents in the catalysts without compromising catalytic activity, making the catalysts very practical for large-scale applications.more » « less
