Highly active and efficient propylene-bridged bis(N-heterocyclic carbene)palladium(II) complexes covalently anchored on Merrifield's resin were synthesized and characterized using various physical and spectroscopic techniques. The two anchored Pd(II) complexes consist of the system: Merrifield's resin-linker-bis(NHC)Pd(II), the linkers being benzyl and benzyl-O-(CH2)3 for (Pd-NHC1@M) and (Pd-NHC2@M), respectively. The short linker anchored bis-benzimidazolium ligand precursor (PBBI-1@M) was synthesized via direct carbon–nitrogen alkylation of a propylene-bridged bis(benzimidazole) (PBBI-1) by Merrifield's resin chlorobenzyl group. The longer linker anchored bis-benzimidazolium ligand precursor (PBBI-2@M) was obtained in a two-step reaction involving first alkylation of (PBBI-1) with 3-chloro-1-propanol followed by a nucleophilic substitution at Merrifield's resin chlorobenzyl group. Both supported ligand precursors (PBBI-1@M and PBBI-2@M) reacted with palladium acetate to produce the two heterogeneous catalysts (Pd-NHC1@M) and (Pd-NHC2@M). 13C NMR palladation shift of the benzimidazole N–C–N (C2) carbon was found very similar in both the liquid NMR spectra of the homogeneous complexes and the CP/MASS spectra of the corresponding covalently anchored complexes. The catalytic activity, stability, and the recycling ability of the supported catalysts have been investigated in the carbonylative Sonogashira coupling reactions of aryl iodides with aryl alkynes and alkyl alkynes and also in the cyclocarbonylative Sonogashira coupling reactions of aryl iodides with aryl alkynes via one pot reactions. The longer linker catalyst Pd-NHC2@M demonstrated excellent catalytic activity, stability, and very high recycling ability in the two carbonylative coupling reactions. These systems exhibit the hypothesized thermodynamic stability offered by the chelate effect in addition to the strong sigma donor ability of a bis(NHC) ligand system generating electron-rich palladium centers that favor the oxidative addition step of the aryl halide.

An iron-catalyzed α,β-dehydrogenation of carbonyl compounds was developed. A broad spectrum of carbonyls or analogues, such as aldehyde, ketone, lactone, lactam, amine, and alcohol, could be converted to their α,β-unsaturated counterparts in a simple one-step reaction with high yields.

We report here, for the first time, the experimental observation on the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) reaction of the thiol proton in room-temperature solution. This phenomenon is demonstrated by a derivative of 3-thiolflavone (3TF), namely, 2-(4-(diethylamino)phenyl)-3-mercapto-4H-chromen-4-one (3NTF), which possesses an - S - H···O= intramolecular H-bond (denoted by the dashed line) and has an S1 absorption at 383 nm. Upon photoexcitation, 3NTF exhibits a distinctly red emission maximized at 710 nm in cyclohexane with an anomalously large Stokes shift of 12 230 cm-1. Upon methylation on the thiol group, 3MeNTF, lacking the thiol proton, exhibits a normal Stokes-shifted emission at 472 nm. These, in combination with the computational approaches, lead to the conclusion of thiol-type ESIPT unambiguously. Further time-resolved study renders an unresolvable (180 fs) ESIPT rate for 3NTF, followed by a tautomer emission lifetime of 120 ps. In sharp contrast to 3NTF, both 3TF and 3-mercapto-2-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (3FTF) are non-emissive. Detailed computational approaches indicate that all studied thiols undergo thermally favorable ESIPT. However, once forming the proton-transferred tautomer, the lone-pair electrons on the sulfur atom brings non-negligible nπ? contribution to the S1′ state (prime indicates the proton-transferred tautomer), for which the relaxation is dominated by the non-radiative deactivation. For 3NTF, the extension of π-electron delocalization by the diethylamino electron-donating group endows the S1′ state primarily in the ππ? configuration, exhibiting the prominent tautomer emission. The results open a new chapter in the field of ESIPT, covering the non-canonical sulfur intramolecular H-bond and its associated ESIPT at ambient temperature.
