Abstract:
A series of pyridine-type ligands containing C≡C bonds were designed and synthesized for selective oxidative Heck reaction. These ligands were utilized as functional units and integrated into the skeleton of conjugated microporous polymers. 6,6′-diiodo-2,2′-bipyridine and 1,3,5-triethynylbenzene were polycondensed via Sonogashira cross-coupling strategy to afford CMP-1 material. The resultant CMP-1 was used as a heterogeneous catalytic ligand for the PdII-catalyzed oxidative Heck reaction with high linear selectivity. The linear selectivity of CMP-1 is about 30 times higher than that of bipyridine-based monomer ligand. This work opens a new front of using CMP as an intriguing platform for developing highly efficient catalysts in controlling the regioselectivity in organic reactions.
