The First Example of Polymer-Supported Palladium Catalyst for Stereo­selective S-S Bond Addition to Terminal Alkynes

Abstract

The polymer-supported recyclable palladium catalyst was prepared for stereoselective diaryl disulphides addition to ­terminal alkynes with high yields. The 96-98% product purity was achieved after filtering the polymer-supported catalyst without ­special purification procedure.

The triphenylphosphine resin 100-200 mesh, 1% DVB, 1-1.5 mmol/g was used as a polymeric ligand (ACROS organics, catalog No 35833).

Catalyst Preparation. The Ar₂S₂ (0.2 mmol), PPh₃ resin (0.069 mmol, 1.25 mmol PPh₃/g, 0.055 g), Pd₂dba₃ (3.4 × 10^-3 mmol, 3 mg), and 0.5 mL of degassed toluene were stirred at 140 °C for 30 min in a sealed tube. The mixture was cooled to the r.t., polymer-supported catalyst was filtered and washed thrice with 2 mL of degassed toluene (all manipulations were performed under argon). The formation of polymer-supported palladium catalyst is accompanied with releasing free dba ligand (confirmed by NMR). Washing with toluene removes dba from the catalyst. The presence of Ar₂S₂ on the catalyst preparation stage is important, since oxidative addition of Ar₂S₂ converts Pd(0) to Pd(II), which is more stable and easier to handle.

General Synthetic Procedure.
The Ar₂S₂ (0.3 mmol), the alkyne (0.45 mmol) and 1 mL of degassed toluene were combined with the polymer-supported catalyst and the mixture was stirred at 140 °C for 2 h in a sealed tube. The solution was separated and the polymer-supported catalyst was washed twice with 2 mL of degassed toluene. Combined organic solution was evaporated and dried under reduced pressure. The 2A-2H products (96-98% purity) were obtained as yellow oil. Unreacted alkyne was removed with a solvent upon evaporation. Otherwise (for 2I and 2J) flash chromato-graphy was needed to separate unreacted alkynes. The products 2A-2G were identified according to the published NMR data (see ref. 3,5). The data for the 2-H, 2-I and 2-J is given below.

Catalyst Recycling. After washing with toluene (see general synthetic procedure [12] ) the polymer-supported catalyst can be used in further reactions without additional treatment. When recycling, all manipulations with the catalyst should be performed under argon.
