Palladium Catalysis: the Suzuki Reaction

Experiment A4: Palladium Catalysis: The Suzuki Reaction

Abstract
In this experiment, the Suzuki reaction was performed using phenylboronic acid, p-iodophenol and Pd/C catalysis in potassium carbonate aqueous media to synthesize biphenyl-4-ol. The yield of final product was only 11.94% and the measured melting point was 170-175℃. Since the appearance of the product was significantly different from expected light tan color and the measured melting point was higher than literature value, the experimental synthesized product may not be the desire final product, biphenyl-4-ol, or may contain large amount of impurities.

Introduction
The Suzuki reaction was reported in 1979 by Akira Suzuki and N. Miyaura. It is commonly referred to as the palladium-catalyzed cross coupling of aryl halides with organoboron reagents leading to the formation of sp2-sp2 carbon-carbon bonds.1 It is a powerful cross coupling method that allows for the synthesis of conjugated olefins, styrenes, and biphenyls.
The purpose of this experiment was to perform a palladium/charcoal catalyzed Suzuki reaction using phenylboronic acid and p-iodophenol in potassium carbonate aqueous media to synthesize a biphenyl product, biphenyl-4-ol. The overall reaction is shown as:

The mechanism of the Suzuki reaction is best viewed from a generated catalytic cycle, which is shown below:

Figure 1: A generalized palladium catalytic cycle for the Suzuki reactio.2
This cycle states the Suzuki reaction is generally achieved by three steps: oxidatice addition, transmetalation and reductive elimination.2
Oxidative addition is the rate determining step of the catalytic cycle. The palladium catalyst couples with the p-iodophenol which results in an organopalladium complex. This complex is initially in the cis conformation but isomerizes to the trans conformation. Stereochemistry with vinyl halides are maintained, while inversion of stereochemistry happens

    Chemists often find a method to determine the level of “greenness” of a chemical reaction, or its “atom economy”. A higher atom economy is preferable because a greater amount of the reactants will be present in the product as opposed to the byproduct.1 A Suzuki reaction is classified as an organic, coupling reaction that includes boronic acid and a halide that are catalyzed by a palladium complex under basic conditions. Other palladium- catalyzed coupling mechanisms include the Heck and Stille reactions. Palladium typically exists in the oxidation states of 0, +2, and +4. PdCl2 is usually the starting compound for several other heterogeneous palladium catalysts such as Pd/C and Pd/BaSO4.1 Suzuki coupling is an efficient way to…

    The citric acid cycle begins after the first stage of glycolysis is completed. The two carbon molecules are converted into acetyl CoA compound. Two ATPs are produced per each molecule of glucose by the citric acid cycle. When these compounds are reduced, they are transported by electron carriers to the next stage. The citric acid cycle occurs only when oxygen is present in the mitochondrion after the cell splits during the first phase glycolysis.…

    he Krebs Cycle also expressed as: CH3C(=O)C(=O)O− (pyruvate) + HSCoA + NAD+ → CH3C(=O)SCoA (acetyl-CoA) + NADH + CO2 is the main pathway in all aerobic organisms. Basically it’s the way that cells produce energy for itself, but the only issue is it requires the presence of oxygen. In total eight reactions that take place in the mitochondria, and these reactions result in two carbon molecules and oxidizes it into carbon dioxide. Step 1 Citrate synthase bridges to Oxaloacetate substrates which can then bind to Acetyl–CoA’s acetyl group, which drops off the A Co-enzyme. This in turn created citrates for usage later in the Krebs cycle. This six-carbon molecule will be degraded, and biotransformed back into Oxaloacetate.Step 2The citrate isn't…

    The regiochemistry of the product was para. The substituent presented on the benzene ring had nitrogen right next to the carbon of the benzene. The lone pair of nitrogen could delocalize over the benzene ring and activate it. An activating group was ortho or para directing because the carbocation formed by this arrangement gave the most stabilized resonance structures. The majority was the para product because there was steric hindrance in the ortho position as the substituent was a large…

    Stage two the citric acid cycle. The two molecules of pyruvic acid that fuel the remains after glycolysis are not ready yet. The pyruvic acid must be converted to a form the citric acid cycle can use. First each pyruvic acid loses a carbon as CO2. The remaining fuel molecules each with 2 carbons left are called acetic. The oxidation of the fuel generates NADH. Lastly each acetic acid is attached to a molecule called coenzyme A (CoA), an enzyme from the formed from the B vitamin pantothenic acid to form acetyl CoA. The CoA escorts the acetic acid into the first reaction of the citric acid cycle. The CoA is then stripped and recycled.…

    In this experiment, the cyanide ion served three purposes: first of all, it acted as a nucleophile, then it stabilized the intermediate carbanion, and in the end functioned as a leaving group. The Benzoin produced was then in turn purified and used to synthesize Benzil in the next experiment through Copper (II) ion oxidation. The Benzil was obtained by catalytic oxidation of the Benzoin using the Copper (II) ion as the catalytic oxidant. The Benzil produced was then purified and used as the reactants in the third and final experiment of the sequence which was this one, to produce Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone which is a five-membered carboxylic ring. The Benzil was reacted with 1,3- Diphenylacetone to undergo adol condensation and therefore produce Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. The first step of the reaction to from the Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone requires the loss of -hydrogen to the base, resulting in a negatively charged carbon that bonds with the carbonyl group from the benzil. The bonding then…

    Electron Transport Chain

    • 475 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The first step in the electron transport chain process is for the NADH2 produced during glycolysis, the intermediate step, and the citric acid cycle to be attracted to Complex I (FMN ·FeS)due to its high affinity for NADH2. This attraction pulls NADH2 to Complex I (NAD dehydrogenase) and the two electrons from H2 are pulled off by the FeS (ferrous sulfate) leaving two H+ ions and NAD+. These molecules repel each other and this results in the NAD+ being recycled. The hydrogens remain in the matrix while the two electrons are attached to Complex I. This attachment activates the pump by changing its shape and then actively transports the hydrogens to the intermembrane space. The electrons on Complex I are highly attracted to cytochrome Q (ubiquinone– carrier cyt Q) because cyt Q ·FeS has an even higher affinity for the electrons than Complex I. The electrons move to cyt Q as they are attractively pulled by the FeS. As the electrons move to cyt Q, they are immediately attracted to Complex III (cytochrome reductase – cyt bc1), which has an even higher affinity for the electrons than cyt Q. The electrons move to Complex III, changing its shape which activates the pump and two hydrogens are actively transported to the intermembrane space while the electrons remain at Complex III. Then, cytochrome C (carrier cyt c) has a higher affinity for these electrons and therefore the electrons move to cyt C. Complex IV (cytochrome oxidase) has an even higher affinity for electrons than cyt C, so the electrons move immediately to Complex IV and activate the pump, which actively transports two hydrogens to the intermembrane space. The last electron acceptor in the chain is O2. The hydrogens in the intermembrane space begin to fall down the gradient and diffuse through ATP synthase allowing it to bind with its substrates ADP and phosphate to produce ATP. During this process, two hydrogens diffuse through, and they are attracted to the O2, binding to…
