Roles of reactants for Suzuki C-C cross-coupling reaction using molecular volcano plot
Abstract:
Suzuki-Miyaura C-C cross-coupling reaction is a powerful and well-known reaction to construct
C-C bond due to its easily accessibility of organoboron reactants and its non-harmful condition reaction.
However, this reaction does not always exhibit excellent efficiency especially when changing reactants, and
the reasons behind its behavior are still unclear. To understand a more complete picture of the Suzuki C-C
cross-coupling reaction, we have investigated the effects of both electrophile (R1-Br) and nucleophile
(R2-B(OH)2) reactants when catalyzed by Pd(PMe3)2 using Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations
and molecular volcano plots. Among five selected different substituents on R1 and R2 (furan, pyridine, phenyl,
styrene and vinyl), we found that the reactions involving 2-bromofuran, when paired with any of boronic acid
proceed the lowest energy barrier in the rate-determining step compared to others. Molecular volcano plots
also illustrate that the feasible reaction with 2-bromofuran reactant is resulted from the balance of interaction
between reactants and Pd(PMe3)2 catalyst, leading to the effortless oxidative addition and reductive elimination
processes. The order of the interaction between each reactant and catalyst, ranking from strongest to
weakest, is furan, pyridine, styrene, phenyl and vinyl, where furan is locating at the most balanced point
(volcano top) of interaction
