Sonogashira coupling reaction mechanism

Palladium compounds are used as a catalyst in many coupling reactions, usually as a homogeneous catalyst. Examples include:

Typical palladium catalysts used include the following compounds:

Unoptimized reactions typically use 10-15 mol% of palladium; where optimized, catalyst loadings can be on the order of 0.1 mol % or below. Many exotic ligands and chiral catalysts have been reported, but they are largely not available commercially, and do not find widespread use. Much work is being done on replacing the phosphine ligands with other classes, such as Arduengo-type carbene complexes, as the phosphine ligands are typically oxygen sensitive (easily oxidized) and must be handled under an inert atmosphere. Phosphines are labile, sometimes requiring additional ligand. For example, Pd(PPh3)4 would be supplemented with PPh3 to keep the palladium coordinated despite loss of the labile phosphine ligands.

A concern with the use of palladium in the preparation of pharmaceuticals is that traces of the toxic heavy metal will remain in the product. Column chromatography can be used, but solid-phase metal scavengers (ion exchange resins and derivatives of silica gel) promise more efficient separation.

In 2010, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Richard F. Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi and Akira Suzuki for their work on palladium-catalyzed cross couplings in organic synthesis.
