NiNP@rGO Nanocomposites as Heterogeneous Catalysts for Thiocarboxylation Cross-Coupling Reactions

Abstract

A new type of ligand-free Ni-nanoparticles supported on rGO (size distribution average d = 9 ± 3 nm) was prepared and fully characterized via morphological (Fe-SEM), structural (P-XRD, HR-TEM), and spectroscopic (ICP-EOS, XPS) analysis tools. The metal composite was effectively employed in the unprecedented heterogeneously Ni-assisted cross-coupling reaction of aryl/vinyl iodides and thiocarboxylates. A range of sulfur-containing aryl as well as vinyl derivatives (15 examples) was achieved in high yields (up to 82%), under mild reaction conditions, and with wide functional group tolerance.

Key words

Add 19.0 g of potassium hydroxide. The reaction was vigorously stirred at 50 °C for 2.5 hours. Concentrate the reaction to a yellow solid. Wash with 200 mL of diethyl ether. 59.4 g of potassium thiobenzoate was filtered; yield: 99%.
