Abstract
In this laboratory experiment students synthesize a phosphine ligand, P(o-tol)3, and with it the corresponding cyclometallated Pd(II) complex. This complex is an extremely active (pre)catalyst for C-C-bond-forming reactions (e.g. the Heck vinylation or the Grignard cross-coupling reaction). Students test the complex for activation in the catalysis of these two reactions using especially economical bromoaromatic compounds. The catalytic mechanisms of these reactions involve basic reaction types in organometallic chemistry such as ligand exchange, cyclometallation, oxidative addition, transmetallation, olefin insertion, reductive elimination and ß-hydride elimination. This experimental sequence combines synthetic organometallic and synthetic organic chemistry to introduce students to the field of catalysis as it appears in daily scientific research laboratory work.

Solvent-Free Synthesis of 2,2′-Dinitrobiphenyl: An Ullmann Coupling in the Introductory Organic Laboratory
Richard W. Gregor and Laurel A. GojJournal of Chemical Education2011 88 (3), 331-333Solvent-Free Synthesis of 2,2′-Dinitrobiphenyl: An Ullmann Coupling in the Introductory Organic Laboratory
Richard W. Gregor and Laurel A. GojJournal of Chemical Education2011 88 (3), 331-333The formation of carbon−carbon bonds is an essential theme throughout organic chemistry. The use of transition-metal catalysts to form carbon−carbon bonds, once relegated to more advanced texts, is now commonly found in introductory organic textbooks. ...

HerrmannOrganometallics2005 24 (18), 4416-4426Palladacycles are among the most active catalyst systems for the Mizoroki−Heck reaction to date. We present N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) substituted phospha-palladacycles as a new class of catalysts. This new type of palladacycles combines the ...
