ABSTRACT

The Sonogashira and Hiyama cross-coupling reactions are an astonishing area in synthetic organic chemistry for their effective ability to form carbon-carbon bonds. The palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira reaction, which couples aryl halides and terminal acetylenes, and the Hiyama cross-coupling reaction, which involves organosilanes and organic halides, have significantly simplified the synthesis of complex organic compounds. In the present study, the highly appreciable catalytic activity of a Bis (N-heterocyclic carbene) Palladium complex immobilized onto Fe3O4@SiO2 nano-support for both Sonogashira and Hiyama cross-coupling reactions under aerobic & green conditions is observed. The synthesized catalyst was used in combination with fluoride-free Hiyama cross-coupling reactions of aryl halides with arylsiloxanes, creating an effective technique for the synthesis of a broad range of biaryl compounds. This technique was carried out in a straightforward one-pot operation at 80°C. This protocol's characteristics include high catalytic activity, rapid catalyst-product separation using an external magnetic field, and the use of water as a green solvent. Focusing on reaction parameters and reaction yield, it was observed that the Sonogashira reaction produces excellent yields (up to 97% under copper-free, solvent-free, amine-free conditions), and the coupling products were obtained in high yields under environmentally friendly conditions.
