Phosphine ligand-free bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) composed of Ni(0)Pd(0) catalyze highly selective 1,4-reductions of enones, enamides, enenitriles, and ketoamides under aqueous micellar conditions. A minimal amount of Pd (Ni/Pd = 25:1) is needed to prepare these NPs, which results in reductions without impacting - and -benzyl, aldehyde, nitrile, and nitro functional groups. A broad range of substrates has been studied, including a gram-scale reaction. The metal-micelle binding is supported by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy data on both the NPs and their individual components. Optical imaging, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analyses reveal the formation of NP-containing micelles or vesicles, NP morphology, particle size distribution, and chemical composition. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements indicate the oxidation state of each metal within these bimetallic NPs.

Ligand-Induced Activation of Single-Atom Palladium Heterogeneous Catalysts for Cross-Coupling Reactions.

Single-atom heterogeneous catalysts (SACs) are potential, recoverable alternatives to soluble organometallic complexes for cross-coupling reactions in fine-chemical synthesis. When developing SACs for these applications, it is often expected that the need for ligands, which are essential for organometallic catalysts, can be bypassed. Contrary to that, ligands remain almost always required for palladium atoms stabilized on commonly used functionalized carbon and carbon nitride supports, as the catalysts otherwise show limited activity.

Organophosphorus compounds are fundamental for the chemical industry due to their broad applications across multiple sectors, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science. Despite their high importance, the sustainable and cost-effective synthesis of organophoshoryl derivatives remains very challenging. Here, we report the first successful regio- and stereoselective hydrophosphorylation of terminal allenamides using an affordable copper catalyst system.

Using heterogeneous single-atom catalysts (SACs) in the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling (SMC) has promising economic and environmental benefits over traditionally applied palladium complexes. However, limited mechanistic understanding hinders progress in their design and implementation. Our study provides critical insights into the working principles of Pd@CN, a promising SAC for the SMC.

Palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings of aryl chlorides usually call for bulky, electron-rich ligands such as phosphines or heterocyclic carbenes. We have now found that similarly powerful cross-coupling catalysts are obtained by the reaction of palladium salts with alkynyllithium reagents. The species initially formed in this process was characterized as a dilithium tetraalkinyl palladate complex.

An efficient method for the construction of C-P(V) and C-P(III) bonds via the iron-catalyzed phosphorylation of alcohols under ligand-free conditions is disclosed. This strategy represents a straightforward process to prepare a series of phosphine oxides and phosphine compounds in good to excellent yields from the readily available alcohols and P-H compounds. A plausible mechanism is also proposed.
