Their application in one-pot/two-step catalyses with 2-biaryl-dialkylphosphine ligands A1 Ponce de León Pintado, Jaime A1 Villalba Antolín, Sara A1 Martínez de Ilarduya Martínez de Ilarduya, Jesús María A1 Espinet Rubio, Pablo K1 Paladio K1 Catalizadores K1 Palladium K1 2-biarylphosphines K1 Tailor-made catalysts K1 In-situ catalysts K1 C—C cross-coupling K1 C—N cross-coupling K1 23 Química AB Complexes cis-[Pd(ArF)2(NCMe)2] (A) and cis-[Pd(ArF)2(THF)2] (B) (ArF=C6F3H2) are fast generalprecursors easy to prepare, store and handle, which allow in situ synthesis of tailor-made [Pd(Ar)(X)(L)]catalysts for chosen Ar-Nu couplings, provided that the L ligand (in this case PR2(2-biaryl)) induces (ArF)2coupling. This fluorinated byproduct is inert in the reaction conditions, and no other byproduct is expectedbecause the Ar and X groups are the same in the catalyst, the intermediates and the products. The application of A or B in catalysis (e. g. with 1% catalyst) consists of a first step (formation of 1% tailor-made catalyst) where 100 ArX+1 A (or B)+1 L in THF gives a solution with 99 ArX+1 [Pd(Ar)(X)(L)]+(ArF)2. The only other byproduct is THF or NCMe. In the second step, addition of the nucleophile, 100 Q(Nu), triggers and completes the catalytic cycle yielding 100 Ar-Nu+100 Q(X)+1 [Pd0(L)]. The 100% yield is theoretical, but the tested catalysis (Ar-Me Negishi coupling, C6F5-alkynyl Stille coupling and Ar-naphthyl Suzuki coupling) using A as precursor, SPhos as ligand, and 1000:1 reagents:catalyst ratio, afford 95–99% yield. In contrast, aryl-amination requires 1000:5 ratio to give 96% yield (or 1000:50 for 99% yield) because PhNH2 eventually displaces the SPhos from Pd and blocks the catalyst. As a bonus, the presence of F in the precursors facilitates stepwise 19F NMR monitoring of the formation of [Pd(Ar)(X)(L)] with different phosphines, facilitating analysis of weaknesses or strengths of each of them to produce the catalyst, and helps in the choice of the most convenient one for the case. The in situ catalyst formation is ideal for serial two-step catalysis with different phosphines or different nucleophiles.
