1 Introduction

The concept of solid-phase organic synthesis (SPOS) datesback mid-1940s and the solid-phase peptide synthesis in1960s developed byMerrifield has been a pioneeringwork [1]Over the last two decades there has been a surge generatingtremendous interest in expanding this field of solid-phasesynthesis [2ndash10] There is a clear emphasis in syntheticchemistry towards developing environmentally friendly andsustainable routes to a myriad of materials The emphasisis most apparent in the growth of green chemistry [11ndash14] According to Paul Anastasmdashone of the founders of theconcepts of green chemistry ldquoCatalysis is a foundational stoneof Green Chemistryrdquo [11 12] One important aspect of cleantechnology is the usage of environmentally friendly surfacecatalysts typically a solid catalyst that can be easily recoveredwhen the reaction is complete [15] Polymer supports playa critical role in combinatorial chemistry and consequentlysolid-phase organic synthesis continues to grow in impor-tance [16ndash23] One of the major advantages of this techniquethat has attracted attention of the chemists is the cleanisolation of the products by simple filtration As a resultthis technique has become a valuable tool in combinatorialchemistry and high throughput chemistry an integral part

Towards developing new organic reactions and catalysisour group has primarily employed two categories of poly-mers (i) inorganic oxides either directly or having dopedwith some other inorganic salts and (ii) polyionic resinsto immobilize reagentsmetal nanoparticles (NPs) as thesolid-phase catalysts or heterogeneous nanocatalysts Thisreview article will primarily focus on our efforts vis-a-vismentioning notable and relevant achievements from otherresearch groups The subject has been organized accordingto nature of the target molecules to synthesize nature ofreaction and also the type of solid supports employed invarious reactions

Figure 1 illustrates examples of our efforts towards thesynthesis of CndashC and CndashX (heteroatom) bond-formingreactions and synthesis of libraries of small heterocyclicmolecules of biological importance having promoted orcatalyzed on commercially available silica gel alumina ordoped with iron(III) salt or potassium fluoride respectively

2 KFAlumina MediatedCatalyzedOrganic Reactions

Commercially available alumina (Al2O3) is known to catalyze

or promote a variety of organic transformations [2 51] How-ever alumina doped with potassium fluoride (KFalumina)has been extensively used as solid basic surface in vast rangeof organic transformation [52] since it was introduced byAndo et al [53ndash56] Alumina doped with KF can ionizeC-acids up to pKa sim35 [57] Although the actual basicsite developed on the surface on alumina is dependent oftemperature and partially debatable the 19F magic angleNMR and IR spectroscopic measurements have shown thatthe fluoride anion species inKFalumina ismore electron richthan fluoride anion in pure solid The conditions of loadingof KF seem to be critical to its functioning and displayingvarying properties

21 Buchwald-Hartwig CndashN Cross-Coupling Reaction Thefirst reaction was studied on the surface of KFalumina is theBuchwald-Hartwig CndashN cross-coupling reactions betweenaryl halides and an amine Initial independent reports by

Buchwald and Hartwig clearly noticed that the success ofsuch coupling is tricky to the use of the base and sodium orpotassium tert-butoxide was found to be best for such CndashNcross-coupling reactions [58ndash61] Secondly initial conditionswere not successful for heteroaryl substrates possibly becauseof formation of stable palladium complex that does notfurther participate in the catalytic cycle Buchwald howevercircumvented this problem by using chelating ligands so asto avoid formation of substrate-based palladium complexes[62]

Palladium-catalyzed CndashN hetero cross-coupling reac-tions between bromopyridines and amines (both primaryand secondary) can be efficiently performed on aKFalumina(basic) surface (Scheme 1) thus negating the use of strongbases such as sodium tert-butoxide The reaction conditionshave been optimized with reference to catalytic systemssolvents and the surface A variety of phosphines both asmono- and bisphosphine ligands are found to be equallyactive [63]

To broaden the scope of this CndashN hetero cross-couplingthe reaction protocol has been extended to haloaromaticsThe reactions are not only found to be applicable to bro-moarenes but also offer high selectivity in cross-coupling ofpolyhaloaromatics Indeed there has been high selectivitybetween mono- or polyaminations (bis- tris- or tetra-)depending on the proportion of KF and alumina [64] Higherproportion of KF and slight higher temperature can lead topolyamination while lower amount of KF in KFaluminagenerally affords only monoaminated product (Scheme 2)

Notable features of the use of KF doped with alumina(KFalumina) are (i) the use of NaOBu119905 can be avoided(ii) conditions are not ligand-specific (iii) solvent-free reac-tions generally give better yields (iv) applicable to bothbromoarenes and N-heteroaryl bromides (v) varying pro-portions of KF per gram of alumina offer selectivity and (vi)recycling of the solid surface is possible

22 DoubleMichael Addition TheMichael addition reactionan important CndashC bond-forming reaction is known to pro-duce adducts which have found wide synthetic applications[65ndash68] Several acidic and basic catalysts are used to affectthis conjugate addition reaction Side reactions frequentlyencountered in the presence of a base catalyst are secondarycondensations polymerizations and double additions How-ever the reactions in which two CndashC bonds are selectivelyformed by intermolecular and consecutive double Michaelreactions in one-pot are very rare It was observed thatKFalumina can promote consecutive Michael additions ofthe nucleophile derived from acetophenone to electron defi-cient alkenes Thus an efficient and highly selective one-potprocedure for the double Michael reactions was developedleading to the formation of pimelate ester derivatives [69]This is the first example of selective double Michael additionsof aromatic and aliphaticmethyl ketones to electron-deficientalkenes mediated over KFalumina (Scheme 3)

Both aliphatic and aromatic ketones underwent bis-addition with similar efficiencies and afforded the desiredproducts Mixture of acetone and ethyl acrylate yielded the

23 Suzuki Coupling Reaction Biaryls and higher homo-logues are an important class of conjugated polyaromaticcompounds originating from benzene as unique buildingblocks Polyaryls have found wide range of applications

as liquid crystals laser-dyes and conducting polymers Inaddition biaryls and higher homologues are often presentas subunits in numerous biologically active natural productspharmaceuticals and agrochemicals [70ndash80] An efficientpalladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of polyhaloaromaticswith arylboronic acids on KFalumina was developed undermicrowave-assisted condition (Scheme 4) [81] The resultshave expanded the scope of the Suzuki reaction on a solvent-free inorganic surface leading to the synthesis of a largevariety of polyaromatics The reaction is fast operationallysimple and allows rapid access to a variety of polyaromatichydrocarbons

promoted by inexpensive cupric acetate on the surfaceof KFalumina has been developed (Scheme 5) [82] Thereaction is selective for mono-N-arylation and a variety offunctional groups are tolerated in the process establishing theversatility of KFalumina

Primary amines were monoarylated successfully usingeither sodium tetraphenylborate or arylboronic acids Aro-matic amines bearing either electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups gave the corresponding unsymmetricaldiarylamines in good to excellent yields Aliphatic primaryamines and benzylamine also produced N-arylated productsin 70ndash75 yields Halo-substitutions either on the arylamine or the arylboronic acid remained unaffected under thereaction conditions

25 Synthesis of Quinoxalines Functionalized quinoxalinesrepresent a privileged class of N-containing heterocycles andexhibit a wide range of biological activities including antivi-ral antibacterial anthelmintic anti-inflammatory kinaseinhibitory and anticancer activities [83ndash89] A facile andexpeditious solid-phase synthesis of libraries of quinoxalinespromoted on KFalumina surface via tandem oxidation-condensation or condensation reactions has been developed(Scheme 6) [90] The reaction protocol is operationallysimple and mild Moreover solvent-free reaction conditionmakes the reaction procedure eco-friendly and economicallyviable The methodology has been established as a direct andexpeditious process of preparation of functionalized quinox-alines from different substrates like 120572-hydroxy ketones 120572-bromoketones or 120572-dicarbonyl compounds using a hetero-geneous basic surface of KFalumina

3 Reactions Promoted by Silica Gel

Silica gel is nontoxic nonflammable nonreactive and stablewith ordinary usage In chemistry silica gel is used inchromatography as a stationary phase [91] Owing to itshighly developed surface (5ndash800m2 gminus1) and high porosityit is used as sorbent for dehydration of gases and fluid asa catalyst support for various reactions Chemical reactionscatalyzed or promoted by silica gel usually proceed undermild conditions and with high chemo- regio- and stereo-selectivity and are operationally simple In the quest ofdeveloping solid surface mediated organic reactions a fewreactions are described using silica gel as a potential surface

pharmacological properties [92ndash94] 120573-Amino esters areuseful intermediates in certain attractive syntheses of 120573-lactam antibiotics [95ndash97] Optically active 120573-amino estersand derivatives often find applications as chiral auxiliariesin asymmetric synthesis [98] A solvent-free protocol forthe synthesis of 120573-amino esters and nitriles has been devel-oped via conjugate addition of amines to electron-deficientalkenes promoted on silica gel The silica surface may berecovered and recycled Both aliphatic and aromatic primaryor secondary amines worked efficiently to yield the desiredadducts in good to excellent yields (Scheme 7) [99] Themethod has been found to be mostly successful when thesilica gel of the type used for thin layer chromatography isused Bulky hindered secondary amines such as diisopropy-lamine and dicyclohexylamine that were previously reportedto be unproductive could efficiently undergo aza-Michaeladditions to produce corresponding 120573-amino esters [100]It was interesting to see that o-amino thiol bearing bothheteroatoms (N and S) could afford the bis-adduct whichindicates that thiols are also reactive under similar conditions(Scheme 7)

In general the reactions proceed smoothly under solvent-free conditions except in the eventual purification by columnchromatography Few reactions have been scaled up to10mmol of the amines and the desired products are isolatedwithout any significant change of yield The applicabilityof this ldquogreenrdquo methodology to a diverse variety of aminesincluding aromatic and sterically hindered amines remains tobe the attractive feature and can be utilized by synthetic andindustrial chemists

32 Selective 119873-Alkylation of Amines Further applicationof silica gel has been observed in selective N-alkylation ofamines Traditionally amines are alkylated in solution phaseusing inorganic acids as the catalysts and alkyl halides ordimethyl sulphate as the alkylating agents [101ndash111] besidesmethanol [112] and dimethyl carbonate [113] However yieldsor product-selectivity (mono- or bis-alkylations) are withfew exceptions low and depend on the nature of the catalystsand reaction conditions Though direct nucleophilic attackof amines to alkyl halides using a strong base is the moststraightforward procedure over alkylation use of strong

base and other harsh conditions greatly limit providing apractical generalized and selective procedure In contin-uation to explore organic reactions using solid surfaces ahighly selective procedure for mono- and bis-alkylationshas been developed via N-alkylation of amines with alkylhalides in solid phase using silica at room temperature(Scheme 8) [114] The procedure is simple and extremelyuseful for the control of the mono- bis- or overalkylationsby varying the reaction conditions and molar proportionsof amines and alkyl halides The selectivity for mono- orbis-alkylations greatly depends on temperature time of thereaction proportion of the reactants and also partly onthe type of silica gel Inactivated alkyl halides reacted withanilines to produce preferably the monoalkylated anilinesin major quantities even after using excess alkyl halide andcontinuing the reaction for prolonged time The methodwas applied successfully to aliphatic bis-amine such asethylene diamine and reaction with benzyl chloride or allylbromide afforded the desired tetra-alkylated product in 73ndash79 yields Selectivity of mono- and bis-alkylations underdifferent conditions has been further broadened to synthesizeunsymmetrical trialkylaryl amines (Scheme 8) The silicagel after purification and activation can be reused for tenconsecutive runs (tested) without any substantial reductionin the yield as is observed from the recycling experiment

Further attempts have been made to obtain general andefficient conditions for the S-acylation and S-alkylation reac-tions of several aromatic and aliphatic thiols with differentacid chlorides and activated alkyl halides respectively in thepresence of silica gel (Scheme 9) A smooth conversion wasobserved in each case affording the desired products in goodto excellent yields Moreover it was found that the recoveredsilica can be reused for seven consecutive runs without anyappreciable loss of activity [123]

34 Selective Synthesis of 12-Disubstituted BenzimidazolesFunctionalized benzimidazoles represent an important classof N-containing heterocyclic compounds and have receivedconsiderable attention in recent times because of their vastapplications as antiulcer antihypertensive antiviral antifun-gal anticancer and antihistamines among others and alsoact as ligands for complexation with transition metals whichare used for modeling biological systems [124ndash127] Severalsynthetic strategies have been developed for the preparationof functionalized benzimidazoles [128ndash140]

Synthetic methods for 12-disubstituted benzimidazoles3 often are associated with cooccurrence of several sidereactions and by-products as shown in Scheme 10

An efficient simple protocol has been developed forhighly selective synthesis of 12-disubstituted benzimidazole3 catalyzed by iron(III) sulfate supported on silica at ambienttemperature under solvent-free conditions (Scheme 11) [141]Silica-supported iron catalysts have been prepared and usedin affecting various organic reactions [142ndash148] Aldehydesbearing different functional groups as well as heteroarylaldehydes reacted smoothly with o-PDs leading to the for-mation of corresponding 12-disubstituted benzimidazoleswith complete selectivity and in good to excellent yields No

electronic or steric impact was found to be prominent in theselective formation of 3

Although the exact mechanism is not clear the Lewisacid-mediated mechanism is expected to play (Figure 2)Adsorption of iron(III) sulfate on the surface of silica isbelieved to make polynuclear iron(III) hydroxyl complexes 4[149] Silica being awater absorbent could facilitate formationof the bis-Schiff base 5 which has been reported and indeedwas isolated when the reaction was stopped after 20minThe Schiff base 5 may undergo cyclization followed by 13-hydride shift induced by electrophilic catalyst [150] resultingin the formation of the 12-disubstituted benzimidazole 3An indirect evidence in favour of 13-hydride shift of theSchiff base 5 isolated from o-phenylenediamine and salicy-laldehyde (6) showed reluctance to undergo cyclization atroom temperatureThis is possibly because of intramolecularHndashbonding with ondashOH group [151] making the nitrogenless nucleophilic and thus required higher temperature forthe cyclization (Scheme 12) The existence of intramolecularhydrogen bonding in the Schiff base (6) was also demon-strated by 1HndashNMR studies at varying concentrations of theSchiff base (6) [141]

Generally reagents and catalysts are immobilized ontopolymer surface involving (i) covalent binding (ii) entrap-ment where a preformed catalyst is enveloped within apolymer network and (iii) ion-pairing where cations oranions are bound to complementary resin sites [158] Immo-bilization of reagents and catalysts can also be done bymicroencapsulation [159] where the polymers are physicallyenveloped by thin films of reagents or catalysts and perhapsstabilized by the interaction between 120587 electrons of benzenerings of the polystyrene used as a polymer backbone andvacant orbital of reagents or catalysts [160]

41 Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) Using SupportedFormate Catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) with theaid of a stable hydrogen donor is a useful alternativemethod to catalytic hydrogenation usingmolecular hydrogen(H2) [161ndash166] In transfer hydrogenation several organic

molecules such as hydrocarbons primary and secondaryalcohols and formic acid and its salts have been employedas the hydrogen source [167ndash173] The use of reagents such ashydrazine is less frequent The use of a hydrogen donor hassome advantages over the use of molecular hydrogen since itavoids the risks and the constraints associated with hydrogengas as well as the necessity for using pressure vessels and otherequipment

411 Palladium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH)of Alkenes and Imines In connection with our interestin palladium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation (CTH) ofalkenes and imines using potassium formate [82] we wantedto develop a stable hydrogen donor anchored to a solidsurface to be used in CTH (Figure 5) In search of suitablepolymeric supports ion-exchange resins were used It wasobserved that Amberlite IRA-420 anion (chloride form)exchange resins commercially available and inexpensivepolyionic resin could exchange the anion with formate anion(HCOOminus) easily and quantitatively The resulting AmberliteResin Formate (anion) designated as ARF could be utilizedas a solid-phase version of theH-donor in Pd-catalyzed CTHThe ARF was air stable can be stored for several weeks andalso can be recovered from a reaction and reused Severalalkenes and iminewere thus hydrogenated using theARF andcatalytic amount of palladium acetate under mild conditions(Scheme 13) [174]

The reduction of the CndashC double bond proceededsmoothly at 70ndash75∘C requiring only gentle agitation work-up was then achieved by simple filtration extraction withdiethyl ether and followed by evaporation of the solvent Boththe cyano and ester groups remained unaffected under thereaction conditions The reduction of a dicyanoalkylidenederivative was found to occur with similar efficiency Themethod is operationally simple and applicable to a varietyof unsaturated organic compounds The use of a palladiumcatalyst exhibits some substrate selectivity and the transfer

412 Palladium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) ofNitroarenes With the success of reducing CndashC and CndashNbonds using the solid-supported formate as suitable H-donor[174] further attempts have been made in the reduction ofnitroarenes to anilines which is a synthetically importanttransformation both in the laboratory and in industry Formicacids and their salts are frequently employed as H-donor inCTH reactions and nitroarenes can be reduced to anilinesusing ammonium formate and Pd-C or Raney nickel [175ndash177] However reductive elimination of halogen substituentson the aromatic nucleus and formation of N-formyl deriva-tives instead of arylamines are the major drawbacks of usingammonium formatePd-C On the other hand combinationof NaBH

4with Cu(II) Co(II) or Rh(III) halides has been

used for reduction of the nitro group which is inert toNaBH4

itself [178 179] Metal hydrides are however water-sensitiveas well as expensive chemicals The reduction of nitro groupwas carried out using 2mol Pd(OAc)

413 Ruthenium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH)of Carbonyl Groups Reduction of carbonyl functionalityby transition metal-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation (CTH)with the aid of a suitable H-donor is a valuable synthetictool Generally reduction of aryl ketones is performedunder CTH using isopropyl alcohol as the H-donor [181ndash186] In order to check the efficiency of Amberlite ResinFormate (ARF) reduction of aryl ketones was studied usingthe combination of catalytic amount of Ru(III) salts and

the polyionic resin formateThe results constitute an efficientmethod for chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of arylaldehydes with the aid of resin-supported formate in thepresence of catalytic (25mol) amount of commerciallyavailable RuCl

3sdot3H2O in DMF or DMA solution as outlined

in Scheme 15 [187]On the basis of comparison with a well-defined Ru(II)

complex [Dichloro(p-cymene)ruthenium(II)] dimer (2mol) under similar conditions it is presumed that the Ru(III)salt might undergo in situ reduction to Ru(II) whichthen catalyzes the hydrogenation of the aldehydes Aryland heteroaryl aldehydes substituted with various electronwithdrawing and donating groups and the presence of o-substituents do not seem to influence the rate of thereduction as revealed by the similarity of the results andall compounds afford corresponding alcohols in high yieldsSeveral other potential reducible groups like halogens nitroand so forth are not affected under the reaction conditionsAliphatic aldehydes are also reduced to corresponding alco-hols efficiently Interestingly aryl ketones are not reducedunder similar conditions The selectivity between aryl alde-hyde and aryl ketone might offer a distinct advantage whenboth the functional groups are present Thus an experimentwas conducted taking a mixture of an aryl aldehyde and anaryl ketone (1mmol each) at 85∘C to finally afford the reducedalcohol from the aryl aldehyde but the aryl ketone remainedunchanged and recovered almost quantitativelyWhereas arylketones are not reduced under the conditions reduction ofbenzil to benzoin proceeds smoothly in good to excellentyields Distinct advantages of cleaner reaction and easyisolation of the product are notable features when comparingthe application of heterogeneous ARF and a simple formatesalt (herein potassium formate) in homogeneous phase

414 Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) Using Coim-mobilized CatalystReagent It is well established that Pdpromotes direct oxidation of formic acid to carbon dioxide

[173] The combination of formic acid and palladium acetateis known to undergo anionic ligand exchange to form apalladium diformate complex eventually producing Pd(0)through decarboxylation and loss of molecular hydrogenThe high degree of chemoselectivity in palladium-catalyzedtransfer hydrogenation using HCOOH or its salts has beenexplained on the basis that the hydrogen is delivered directlyfrom a palladium formate species which has much strongerhydridic nature as compared to that of a palladium hydridespecies (Scheme 16)

In CTH either a source of palladium is required for eachoperation or it may be supported by a polymer frameworkand reused several times It is reasoned that the palladiumcatalyst might be anchored to the ARF so that it could be usedand recycled (Scheme 17) It is observed that palladium canbe immobilized onto the polyionic resins surface and usedefficiently in the CTH of a variety of functional groupsThusa new solid-phase entity (ARF-Pd) has been developed coim-mobilizing both the catalyst and the reagent and expected tobe potentially useful in CTH of different functional groups

The efficiency and stability of this newly developed ARF-Pd was first examined in the reduction of electron-deficientalkenes conjugated with ketones nitriles and carboxylateesters (Scheme 18) [188] Further applications of this new het-erogeneous reductive system are tested with 12-dicarbonylcompounds When benzil or substituted benzil is used as thesubstrate the reduction of one of the carbonyl groups withARF-Pd in DMF at 110∘C has been completed within 10ndash12 h to furnish the corresponding120572-hydroxyketone (benzoin)in a 77ndash88 yield Aromatic nitro compounds are alsoreduced using the coimmobilized palladium in DMF Thisnew technique is highly chemoselective in the reduction

42 CndashC Cross-Coupling Reactions Transition metal-cata-lyzed cross-coupling reactions constitute the central part ofcontemporary organic synthesis [189ndash192] In particular thepalladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond-forming processesrepresent the foremost in the arena of organic process devel-opment The Heck Suzuki-Miyaura Sonogashira reactions(Scheme 19) are excellent tools for carbon-carbon couplingreactions between aryl halides or triflates and suitable part-ners [193]

The coupling of terminal alkynes with an aryl or vinylhalide performed with a palladium catalyst a copper co-catalyst and an amine base is termed as the Sonogashiracoupling reaction [194ndash206] Typically the reaction requiresanhydrous and anaerobic conditions but the newer proce-dures which have been developed show that the restrictionsare not so important

Over the last decade commendable research has beendone to achieve significant developments and to estab-lish practical methodologies [207ndash210] Widespread uses ofpalladium-catalyzed coupling reactions are found in modernorganic synthesis because the resulting coupled products

often find good applications in the preparation of materialspharmaceuticals and other bioactive compounds [211ndash218]As a part of recognition of these extremely useful reactionsNobel prize was awarded to Heck Suzuki and Negishi[219] Many efforts have been reported to immobilize Pdusing a support encapsulating in a polymer or dendrimeror immobilization by ligandpolymer but the problem ofleaching and recyclability still exists [220ndash236]

421 Use of ARF-Pd in CndashC Cross-Coupling Reactions Excel-lent activity high selectivity and reusability of the ARF-Pdas potential reductive system have prompted to explore it asa viable heterogeneous Pd catalyst in various CndashC couplingreactions (Scheme 20) [237] One of the key questions onwhich the researchers have focused is ldquohow canminimizationof catalyst cost and catalyst contamination of the product bebest achievedrdquo It may be noted that the investigation of theheterogeneous ARF-Pd has addressed a great extent to thisquestion

The catalytic activity of ARF-Pdwas first examined inthe Heck coupling reactions and then for the Suzuki andSonogashira reactions as outlined in Scheme 20

Indeed the Heck coupling between 3-chloroiodobenzeneand ethyl cinnamate in the presence of the heterogeneous cat-alyst ARF-Pd the cross-coupled product trans-ethyl-3-chlo-rocinnamate has been isolated in 86 yield Exclusive trans-selectivity is achieved as is assigned on the basis of the cou-pling constant (119869 = 159Hz) Although several iodoarenesundergo Heck coupling with an alkene interestingly thebromoarenes remain unchanged which is typically seen forother halogens like chloro or fluoro groups attached withthe aromatic moiety The ortho-substituent did not cause anysteric inhibition as usually experienced in other couplingreaction which may be attributed to high activity of thecatalyst

2as the source of

palladiumThe Sonogashira coupling reaction normally requires 1ndash

10mol Pd(PPh3)2Cl2(or Pd(PPh

3)4) and copper(I) iodide

as the catalytic system Using the ARF-Pd the reaction of3-iodoanisole and 1-ethynyl-4-methylbenzene carried out inthe presence of Et

3Nas the base in acetonitrile solvent at 80∘C

for 6 h afforded the desired cross-coupled product in excellentyield (Scheme 20) Similar coupling reactions with otheriodoarenes and acetylenes are also found to be successful[237]

In all cases products are isolated in pure form simplyby filtering off the resin-bound palladium catalyst followedby chromatographic purification of the concentrated residueRecycling experiments are tested by taking Suzuki-Miyauracoupling between 14-dibromobenzene and phenylboronicacid The results have revealed that the catalyst is remarkably

active even in the fifth run Consecutive five runs were testedto evaluate the activity of ARF-Pd The palladium contentthroughout the recycling runs remained at a steady state withmarginal increase of Pd distribution on the resin surfacewhich might be due to repeated agitation of the beads duringthe reactions and exposing more surface area with palladiumcontent

422 Suzuki Coupling Using Solid-Phase ImmobilizedOrganoboron Species The concept of a resin-capture-releasetechnique generating the polymer-bound reactive specieshas been established as a potential method for severalorganic transformations [238ndash240] A variety of techniquesare reported in the literature to immobilize differentcomponents of Suzuki cross-coupling reaction [241ndash253]Polymer-bound boronic acids though reported as early as1976 [254] Frenette and Friesen [255] investigated theirutility in Suzuki coupling reaction in 1994

Further application of polyionic resin bound reagentsandor catalysts has been established when an ion-exchangeresin-supported organoborate species is derived as aheterogeneous phenylating agent [256] Thus Amberliteion-exchange resins (chloride form) are exchanged withtetraphenylborate anion (Ph

4Bminus) by continuous rinsing with

an aqueous solution of NaBPh4until the washings gave

negative response to chloride anion (monitored with AgNO3

solution followed by addition of aqueous ammonia) Thepolyionic resins with the tetraphenylborate counter anion(Ph4Bminus) have been used directly for the Suzuki coupling

reaction Initial studies on coupling with 3-iodotoluene inthe presence of palladium catalyst [Pd(OAc)

2 2mol and

Na2CO3 1 equiv] afford the unsymmetrical biphenyl in

only 43 yield of the coupled product (Scheme 21 condition(b)) However on increasing the quantity of NaBPh

(Scheme 21 condition (c)) An interesting observation isthat the yield of the coupled product is not influenced by theabsence of base (Scheme 21 conditions (d) and (e)) Suchbase-free conditions for SM reactions could offer significantpractical advantages and have not previously been reportedwith the organoborate ion bound with solid-phase polymericframeworks

423 Organic Disulfide (SndashS Linkage) Synthesis Organicdisulfides (bearing SndashS linkage) are useful compounds ofwidespread occurrence possessing unique and diverse chem-istry in the synthetic biochemical and agrochemical areas[257ndash259] Disulfide-linked aggregates ubiquitously occurin proteins and many other bioactive molecules Disulfidebonds play an important role in the folding and stabilityof some proteins [260 261] Industrially disulfides find vastapplications as vulcanizing agents for rubbers and elastomerscontributing them considerable tensile strength [262 263]Apart from various solution-phase approaches for the syn-thesis of disulfide from thiols and other precursors thereare few reports on the synthesis of disulfides promoted bypolymeric resin hydroxides In a recent report Sengupta andBasu have shown that Amberlyst A-26(OH) can efficientlypromote smooth conversion of disulfides from alkyl and acyl

methyl thiocyanates in good to excellent yields (Scheme 22)They have also demonstrated that the use of polyionic resinhydroxide has resulted in much better results over otherhomogeneous bases like NaOH NH

5 Conclusion

Thus a series of reactions has been developed exhibitingthe potential of using both inorganic and organic polymericframeworks as the solid phaseThe present review has shownthat alumina silica surface alone or having doped with vari-ous inorganic salts could be utilized in carrying out differentorganic reactions under solvent-free conditions producingmolecules of biological and industrial importance Similarlypolyionic resins have been shown to immobilize reagentsandor catalysts and employ in transfer hydrogenation ofalkenes imines and nitroarenes and in different CndashC cross-coupling reaction Mild reaction conditions easy work-upprocedure selective synthesis of the target molecules andrecycling capability of the supported reagent or catalyst aresome of the advantages of adopting solid-phase organicreactions Further development of newer solid phases immo-bilization procedures resulting in regular dispersion andfinally their new applications are expected in the years tocome

Towards developing new organic reactions and catalysisour group has primarily employed two categories of poly-mers (i) inorganic oxides either directly or having dopedwith some other inorganic salts and (ii) polyionic resinsto immobilize reagentsmetal nanoparticles (NPs) as thesolid-phase catalysts or heterogeneous nanocatalysts Thisreview article will primarily focus on our efforts vis-a-vismentioning notable and relevant achievements from otherresearch groups The subject has been organized accordingto nature of the target molecules to synthesize nature ofreaction and also the type of solid supports employed invarious reactions

Figure 1 illustrates examples of our efforts towards thesynthesis of CndashC and CndashX (heteroatom) bond-formingreactions and synthesis of libraries of small heterocyclicmolecules of biological importance having promoted orcatalyzed on commercially available silica gel alumina ordoped with iron(III) salt or potassium fluoride respectively

2 KFAlumina MediatedCatalyzedOrganic Reactions

Commercially available alumina (Al2O3) is known to catalyze

or promote a variety of organic transformations [2 51] How-ever alumina doped with potassium fluoride (KFalumina)has been extensively used as solid basic surface in vast rangeof organic transformation [52] since it was introduced byAndo et al [53ndash56] Alumina doped with KF can ionizeC-acids up to pKa sim35 [57] Although the actual basicsite developed on the surface on alumina is dependent oftemperature and partially debatable the 19F magic angleNMR and IR spectroscopic measurements have shown thatthe fluoride anion species inKFalumina ismore electron richthan fluoride anion in pure solid The conditions of loadingof KF seem to be critical to its functioning and displayingvarying properties

21 Buchwald-Hartwig CndashN Cross-Coupling Reaction Thefirst reaction was studied on the surface of KFalumina is theBuchwald-Hartwig CndashN cross-coupling reactions betweenaryl halides and an amine Initial independent reports by

Buchwald and Hartwig clearly noticed that the success ofsuch coupling is tricky to the use of the base and sodium orpotassium tert-butoxide was found to be best for such CndashNcross-coupling reactions [58ndash61] Secondly initial conditionswere not successful for heteroaryl substrates possibly becauseof formation of stable palladium complex that does notfurther participate in the catalytic cycle Buchwald howevercircumvented this problem by using chelating ligands so asto avoid formation of substrate-based palladium complexes[62]

Palladium-catalyzed CndashN hetero cross-coupling reac-tions between bromopyridines and amines (both primaryand secondary) can be efficiently performed on aKFalumina(basic) surface (Scheme 1) thus negating the use of strongbases such as sodium tert-butoxide The reaction conditionshave been optimized with reference to catalytic systemssolvents and the surface A variety of phosphines both asmono- and bisphosphine ligands are found to be equallyactive [63]

To broaden the scope of this CndashN hetero cross-couplingthe reaction protocol has been extended to haloaromaticsThe reactions are not only found to be applicable to bro-moarenes but also offer high selectivity in cross-coupling ofpolyhaloaromatics Indeed there has been high selectivitybetween mono- or polyaminations (bis- tris- or tetra-)depending on the proportion of KF and alumina [64] Higherproportion of KF and slight higher temperature can lead topolyamination while lower amount of KF in KFaluminagenerally affords only monoaminated product (Scheme 2)

Notable features of the use of KF doped with alumina(KFalumina) are (i) the use of NaOBu119905 can be avoided(ii) conditions are not ligand-specific (iii) solvent-free reac-tions generally give better yields (iv) applicable to bothbromoarenes and N-heteroaryl bromides (v) varying pro-portions of KF per gram of alumina offer selectivity and (vi)recycling of the solid surface is possible

22 DoubleMichael Addition TheMichael addition reactionan important CndashC bond-forming reaction is known to pro-duce adducts which have found wide synthetic applications[65ndash68] Several acidic and basic catalysts are used to affectthis conjugate addition reaction Side reactions frequentlyencountered in the presence of a base catalyst are secondarycondensations polymerizations and double additions How-ever the reactions in which two CndashC bonds are selectivelyformed by intermolecular and consecutive double Michaelreactions in one-pot are very rare It was observed thatKFalumina can promote consecutive Michael additions ofthe nucleophile derived from acetophenone to electron defi-cient alkenes Thus an efficient and highly selective one-potprocedure for the double Michael reactions was developedleading to the formation of pimelate ester derivatives [69]This is the first example of selective double Michael additionsof aromatic and aliphaticmethyl ketones to electron-deficientalkenes mediated over KFalumina (Scheme 3)

Both aliphatic and aromatic ketones underwent bis-addition with similar efficiencies and afforded the desiredproducts Mixture of acetone and ethyl acrylate yielded the

23 Suzuki Coupling Reaction Biaryls and higher homo-logues are an important class of conjugated polyaromaticcompounds originating from benzene as unique buildingblocks Polyaryls have found wide range of applications

as liquid crystals laser-dyes and conducting polymers Inaddition biaryls and higher homologues are often presentas subunits in numerous biologically active natural productspharmaceuticals and agrochemicals [70ndash80] An efficientpalladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of polyhaloaromaticswith arylboronic acids on KFalumina was developed undermicrowave-assisted condition (Scheme 4) [81] The resultshave expanded the scope of the Suzuki reaction on a solvent-free inorganic surface leading to the synthesis of a largevariety of polyaromatics The reaction is fast operationallysimple and allows rapid access to a variety of polyaromatichydrocarbons

Primary amines were monoarylated successfully usingeither sodium tetraphenylborate or arylboronic acids Aro-matic amines bearing either electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups gave the corresponding unsymmetricaldiarylamines in good to excellent yields Aliphatic primaryamines and benzylamine also produced N-arylated productsin 70ndash75 yields Halo-substitutions either on the arylamine or the arylboronic acid remained unaffected under thereaction conditions

25 Synthesis of Quinoxalines Functionalized quinoxalinesrepresent a privileged class of N-containing heterocycles andexhibit a wide range of biological activities including antivi-ral antibacterial anthelmintic anti-inflammatory kinaseinhibitory and anticancer activities [83ndash89] A facile andexpeditious solid-phase synthesis of libraries of quinoxalinespromoted on KFalumina surface via tandem oxidation-condensation or condensation reactions has been developed(Scheme 6) [90] The reaction protocol is operationallysimple and mild Moreover solvent-free reaction conditionmakes the reaction procedure eco-friendly and economicallyviable The methodology has been established as a direct andexpeditious process of preparation of functionalized quinox-alines from different substrates like 120572-hydroxy ketones 120572-bromoketones or 120572-dicarbonyl compounds using a hetero-geneous basic surface of KFalumina

3 Reactions Promoted by Silica Gel

Silica gel is nontoxic nonflammable nonreactive and stablewith ordinary usage In chemistry silica gel is used inchromatography as a stationary phase [91] Owing to itshighly developed surface (5ndash800m2 gminus1) and high porosityit is used as sorbent for dehydration of gases and fluid asa catalyst support for various reactions Chemical reactionscatalyzed or promoted by silica gel usually proceed undermild conditions and with high chemo- regio- and stereo-selectivity and are operationally simple In the quest ofdeveloping solid surface mediated organic reactions a fewreactions are described using silica gel as a potential surface

pharmacological properties [92ndash94] 120573-Amino esters areuseful intermediates in certain attractive syntheses of 120573-lactam antibiotics [95ndash97] Optically active 120573-amino estersand derivatives often find applications as chiral auxiliariesin asymmetric synthesis [98] A solvent-free protocol forthe synthesis of 120573-amino esters and nitriles has been devel-oped via conjugate addition of amines to electron-deficientalkenes promoted on silica gel The silica surface may berecovered and recycled Both aliphatic and aromatic primaryor secondary amines worked efficiently to yield the desiredadducts in good to excellent yields (Scheme 7) [99] Themethod has been found to be mostly successful when thesilica gel of the type used for thin layer chromatography isused Bulky hindered secondary amines such as diisopropy-lamine and dicyclohexylamine that were previously reportedto be unproductive could efficiently undergo aza-Michaeladditions to produce corresponding 120573-amino esters [100]It was interesting to see that o-amino thiol bearing bothheteroatoms (N and S) could afford the bis-adduct whichindicates that thiols are also reactive under similar conditions(Scheme 7)

In general the reactions proceed smoothly under solvent-free conditions except in the eventual purification by columnchromatography Few reactions have been scaled up to10mmol of the amines and the desired products are isolatedwithout any significant change of yield The applicabilityof this ldquogreenrdquo methodology to a diverse variety of aminesincluding aromatic and sterically hindered amines remains tobe the attractive feature and can be utilized by synthetic andindustrial chemists

32 Selective 119873-Alkylation of Amines Further applicationof silica gel has been observed in selective N-alkylation ofamines Traditionally amines are alkylated in solution phaseusing inorganic acids as the catalysts and alkyl halides ordimethyl sulphate as the alkylating agents [101ndash111] besidesmethanol [112] and dimethyl carbonate [113] However yieldsor product-selectivity (mono- or bis-alkylations) are withfew exceptions low and depend on the nature of the catalystsand reaction conditions Though direct nucleophilic attackof amines to alkyl halides using a strong base is the moststraightforward procedure over alkylation use of strong

Further attempts have been made to obtain general andefficient conditions for the S-acylation and S-alkylation reac-tions of several aromatic and aliphatic thiols with differentacid chlorides and activated alkyl halides respectively in thepresence of silica gel (Scheme 9) A smooth conversion wasobserved in each case affording the desired products in goodto excellent yields Moreover it was found that the recoveredsilica can be reused for seven consecutive runs without anyappreciable loss of activity [123]

34 Selective Synthesis of 12-Disubstituted BenzimidazolesFunctionalized benzimidazoles represent an important classof N-containing heterocyclic compounds and have receivedconsiderable attention in recent times because of their vastapplications as antiulcer antihypertensive antiviral antifun-gal anticancer and antihistamines among others and alsoact as ligands for complexation with transition metals whichare used for modeling biological systems [124ndash127] Severalsynthetic strategies have been developed for the preparationof functionalized benzimidazoles [128ndash140]

Synthetic methods for 12-disubstituted benzimidazoles3 often are associated with cooccurrence of several sidereactions and by-products as shown in Scheme 10

An efficient simple protocol has been developed forhighly selective synthesis of 12-disubstituted benzimidazole3 catalyzed by iron(III) sulfate supported on silica at ambienttemperature under solvent-free conditions (Scheme 11) [141]Silica-supported iron catalysts have been prepared and usedin affecting various organic reactions [142ndash148] Aldehydesbearing different functional groups as well as heteroarylaldehydes reacted smoothly with o-PDs leading to the for-mation of corresponding 12-disubstituted benzimidazoleswith complete selectivity and in good to excellent yields No

electronic or steric impact was found to be prominent in theselective formation of 3

Although the exact mechanism is not clear the Lewisacid-mediated mechanism is expected to play (Figure 2)Adsorption of iron(III) sulfate on the surface of silica isbelieved to make polynuclear iron(III) hydroxyl complexes 4[149] Silica being awater absorbent could facilitate formationof the bis-Schiff base 5 which has been reported and indeedwas isolated when the reaction was stopped after 20minThe Schiff base 5 may undergo cyclization followed by 13-hydride shift induced by electrophilic catalyst [150] resultingin the formation of the 12-disubstituted benzimidazole 3An indirect evidence in favour of 13-hydride shift of theSchiff base 5 isolated from o-phenylenediamine and salicy-laldehyde (6) showed reluctance to undergo cyclization atroom temperatureThis is possibly because of intramolecularHndashbonding with ondashOH group [151] making the nitrogenless nucleophilic and thus required higher temperature forthe cyclization (Scheme 12) The existence of intramolecularhydrogen bonding in the Schiff base (6) was also demon-strated by 1HndashNMR studies at varying concentrations of theSchiff base (6) [141]

Generally reagents and catalysts are immobilized ontopolymer surface involving (i) covalent binding (ii) entrap-ment where a preformed catalyst is enveloped within apolymer network and (iii) ion-pairing where cations oranions are bound to complementary resin sites [158] Immo-bilization of reagents and catalysts can also be done bymicroencapsulation [159] where the polymers are physicallyenveloped by thin films of reagents or catalysts and perhapsstabilized by the interaction between 120587 electrons of benzenerings of the polystyrene used as a polymer backbone andvacant orbital of reagents or catalysts [160]

41 Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) Using SupportedFormate Catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) with theaid of a stable hydrogen donor is a useful alternativemethod to catalytic hydrogenation usingmolecular hydrogen(H2) [161ndash166] In transfer hydrogenation several organic

molecules such as hydrocarbons primary and secondaryalcohols and formic acid and its salts have been employedas the hydrogen source [167ndash173] The use of reagents such ashydrazine is less frequent The use of a hydrogen donor hassome advantages over the use of molecular hydrogen since itavoids the risks and the constraints associated with hydrogengas as well as the necessity for using pressure vessels and otherequipment

411 Palladium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH)of Alkenes and Imines In connection with our interestin palladium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation (CTH) ofalkenes and imines using potassium formate [82] we wantedto develop a stable hydrogen donor anchored to a solidsurface to be used in CTH (Figure 5) In search of suitablepolymeric supports ion-exchange resins were used It wasobserved that Amberlite IRA-420 anion (chloride form)exchange resins commercially available and inexpensivepolyionic resin could exchange the anion with formate anion(HCOOminus) easily and quantitatively The resulting AmberliteResin Formate (anion) designated as ARF could be utilizedas a solid-phase version of theH-donor in Pd-catalyzed CTHThe ARF was air stable can be stored for several weeks andalso can be recovered from a reaction and reused Severalalkenes and iminewere thus hydrogenated using theARF andcatalytic amount of palladium acetate under mild conditions(Scheme 13) [174]

The reduction of the CndashC double bond proceededsmoothly at 70ndash75∘C requiring only gentle agitation work-up was then achieved by simple filtration extraction withdiethyl ether and followed by evaporation of the solvent Boththe cyano and ester groups remained unaffected under thereaction conditions The reduction of a dicyanoalkylidenederivative was found to occur with similar efficiency Themethod is operationally simple and applicable to a varietyof unsaturated organic compounds The use of a palladiumcatalyst exhibits some substrate selectivity and the transfer

412 Palladium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) ofNitroarenes With the success of reducing CndashC and CndashNbonds using the solid-supported formate as suitable H-donor[174] further attempts have been made in the reduction ofnitroarenes to anilines which is a synthetically importanttransformation both in the laboratory and in industry Formicacids and their salts are frequently employed as H-donor inCTH reactions and nitroarenes can be reduced to anilinesusing ammonium formate and Pd-C or Raney nickel [175ndash177] However reductive elimination of halogen substituentson the aromatic nucleus and formation of N-formyl deriva-tives instead of arylamines are the major drawbacks of usingammonium formatePd-C On the other hand combinationof NaBH

used for reduction of the nitro group which is inert toNaBH4

the polyionic resin formateThe results constitute an efficientmethod for chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of arylaldehydes with the aid of resin-supported formate in thepresence of catalytic (25mol) amount of commerciallyavailable RuCl

in Scheme 15 [187]On the basis of comparison with a well-defined Ru(II)

complex [Dichloro(p-cymene)ruthenium(II)] dimer (2mol) under similar conditions it is presumed that the Ru(III)salt might undergo in situ reduction to Ru(II) whichthen catalyzes the hydrogenation of the aldehydes Aryland heteroaryl aldehydes substituted with various electronwithdrawing and donating groups and the presence of o-substituents do not seem to influence the rate of thereduction as revealed by the similarity of the results andall compounds afford corresponding alcohols in high yieldsSeveral other potential reducible groups like halogens nitroand so forth are not affected under the reaction conditionsAliphatic aldehydes are also reduced to corresponding alco-hols efficiently Interestingly aryl ketones are not reducedunder similar conditions The selectivity between aryl alde-hyde and aryl ketone might offer a distinct advantage whenboth the functional groups are present Thus an experimentwas conducted taking a mixture of an aryl aldehyde and anaryl ketone (1mmol each) at 85∘C to finally afford the reducedalcohol from the aryl aldehyde but the aryl ketone remainedunchanged and recovered almost quantitativelyWhereas arylketones are not reduced under the conditions reduction ofbenzil to benzoin proceeds smoothly in good to excellentyields Distinct advantages of cleaner reaction and easyisolation of the product are notable features when comparingthe application of heterogeneous ARF and a simple formatesalt (herein potassium formate) in homogeneous phase

414 Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) Using Coim-mobilized CatalystReagent It is well established that Pdpromotes direct oxidation of formic acid to carbon dioxide

[173] The combination of formic acid and palladium acetateis known to undergo anionic ligand exchange to form apalladium diformate complex eventually producing Pd(0)through decarboxylation and loss of molecular hydrogenThe high degree of chemoselectivity in palladium-catalyzedtransfer hydrogenation using HCOOH or its salts has beenexplained on the basis that the hydrogen is delivered directlyfrom a palladium formate species which has much strongerhydridic nature as compared to that of a palladium hydridespecies (Scheme 16)

In CTH either a source of palladium is required for eachoperation or it may be supported by a polymer frameworkand reused several times It is reasoned that the palladiumcatalyst might be anchored to the ARF so that it could be usedand recycled (Scheme 17) It is observed that palladium canbe immobilized onto the polyionic resins surface and usedefficiently in the CTH of a variety of functional groupsThusa new solid-phase entity (ARF-Pd) has been developed coim-mobilizing both the catalyst and the reagent and expected tobe potentially useful in CTH of different functional groups

The efficiency and stability of this newly developed ARF-Pd was first examined in the reduction of electron-deficientalkenes conjugated with ketones nitriles and carboxylateesters (Scheme 18) [188] Further applications of this new het-erogeneous reductive system are tested with 12-dicarbonylcompounds When benzil or substituted benzil is used as thesubstrate the reduction of one of the carbonyl groups withARF-Pd in DMF at 110∘C has been completed within 10ndash12 h to furnish the corresponding120572-hydroxyketone (benzoin)in a 77ndash88 yield Aromatic nitro compounds are alsoreduced using the coimmobilized palladium in DMF Thisnew technique is highly chemoselective in the reduction

42 CndashC Cross-Coupling Reactions Transition metal-cata-lyzed cross-coupling reactions constitute the central part ofcontemporary organic synthesis [189ndash192] In particular thepalladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond-forming processesrepresent the foremost in the arena of organic process devel-opment The Heck Suzuki-Miyaura Sonogashira reactions(Scheme 19) are excellent tools for carbon-carbon couplingreactions between aryl halides or triflates and suitable part-ners [193]

The coupling of terminal alkynes with an aryl or vinylhalide performed with a palladium catalyst a copper co-catalyst and an amine base is termed as the Sonogashiracoupling reaction [194ndash206] Typically the reaction requiresanhydrous and anaerobic conditions but the newer proce-dures which have been developed show that the restrictionsare not so important

Over the last decade commendable research has beendone to achieve significant developments and to estab-lish practical methodologies [207ndash210] Widespread uses ofpalladium-catalyzed coupling reactions are found in modernorganic synthesis because the resulting coupled products

often find good applications in the preparation of materialspharmaceuticals and other bioactive compounds [211ndash218]As a part of recognition of these extremely useful reactionsNobel prize was awarded to Heck Suzuki and Negishi[219] Many efforts have been reported to immobilize Pdusing a support encapsulating in a polymer or dendrimeror immobilization by ligandpolymer but the problem ofleaching and recyclability still exists [220ndash236]

421 Use of ARF-Pd in CndashC Cross-Coupling Reactions Excel-lent activity high selectivity and reusability of the ARF-Pdas potential reductive system have prompted to explore it asa viable heterogeneous Pd catalyst in various CndashC couplingreactions (Scheme 20) [237] One of the key questions onwhich the researchers have focused is ldquohow canminimizationof catalyst cost and catalyst contamination of the product bebest achievedrdquo It may be noted that the investigation of theheterogeneous ARF-Pd has addressed a great extent to thisquestion

The catalytic activity of ARF-Pdwas first examined inthe Heck coupling reactions and then for the Suzuki andSonogashira reactions as outlined in Scheme 20

Indeed the Heck coupling between 3-chloroiodobenzeneand ethyl cinnamate in the presence of the heterogeneous cat-alyst ARF-Pd the cross-coupled product trans-ethyl-3-chlo-rocinnamate has been isolated in 86 yield Exclusive trans-selectivity is achieved as is assigned on the basis of the cou-pling constant (119869 = 159Hz) Although several iodoarenesundergo Heck coupling with an alkene interestingly thebromoarenes remain unchanged which is typically seen forother halogens like chloro or fluoro groups attached withthe aromatic moiety The ortho-substituent did not cause anysteric inhibition as usually experienced in other couplingreaction which may be attributed to high activity of thecatalyst

for 6 h afforded the desired cross-coupled product in excellentyield (Scheme 20) Similar coupling reactions with otheriodoarenes and acetylenes are also found to be successful[237]

In all cases products are isolated in pure form simplyby filtering off the resin-bound palladium catalyst followedby chromatographic purification of the concentrated residueRecycling experiments are tested by taking Suzuki-Miyauracoupling between 14-dibromobenzene and phenylboronicacid The results have revealed that the catalyst is remarkably

active even in the fifth run Consecutive five runs were testedto evaluate the activity of ARF-Pd The palladium contentthroughout the recycling runs remained at a steady state withmarginal increase of Pd distribution on the resin surfacewhich might be due to repeated agitation of the beads duringthe reactions and exposing more surface area with palladiumcontent

422 Suzuki Coupling Using Solid-Phase ImmobilizedOrganoboron Species The concept of a resin-capture-releasetechnique generating the polymer-bound reactive specieshas been established as a potential method for severalorganic transformations [238ndash240] A variety of techniquesare reported in the literature to immobilize differentcomponents of Suzuki cross-coupling reaction [241ndash253]Polymer-bound boronic acids though reported as early as1976 [254] Frenette and Friesen [255] investigated theirutility in Suzuki coupling reaction in 1994

Further application of polyionic resin bound reagentsandor catalysts has been established when an ion-exchangeresin-supported organoborate species is derived as aheterogeneous phenylating agent [256] Thus Amberliteion-exchange resins (chloride form) are exchanged withtetraphenylborate anion (Ph

an aqueous solution of NaBPh4until the washings gave

negative response to chloride anion (monitored with AgNO3

solution followed by addition of aqueous ammonia) Thepolyionic resins with the tetraphenylborate counter anion(Ph4Bminus) have been used directly for the Suzuki coupling

(Scheme 21 condition (c)) An interesting observation isthat the yield of the coupled product is not influenced by theabsence of base (Scheme 21 conditions (d) and (e)) Suchbase-free conditions for SM reactions could offer significantpractical advantages and have not previously been reportedwith the organoborate ion bound with solid-phase polymericframeworks

423 Organic Disulfide (SndashS Linkage) Synthesis Organicdisulfides (bearing SndashS linkage) are useful compounds ofwidespread occurrence possessing unique and diverse chem-istry in the synthetic biochemical and agrochemical areas[257ndash259] Disulfide-linked aggregates ubiquitously occurin proteins and many other bioactive molecules Disulfidebonds play an important role in the folding and stabilityof some proteins [260 261] Industrially disulfides find vastapplications as vulcanizing agents for rubbers and elastomerscontributing them considerable tensile strength [262 263]Apart from various solution-phase approaches for the syn-thesis of disulfide from thiols and other precursors thereare few reports on the synthesis of disulfides promoted bypolymeric resin hydroxides In a recent report Sengupta andBasu have shown that Amberlyst A-26(OH) can efficientlypromote smooth conversion of disulfides from alkyl and acyl

methyl thiocyanates in good to excellent yields (Scheme 22)They have also demonstrated that the use of polyionic resinhydroxide has resulted in much better results over otherhomogeneous bases like NaOH NH

5 Conclusion

Thus a series of reactions has been developed exhibitingthe potential of using both inorganic and organic polymericframeworks as the solid phaseThe present review has shownthat alumina silica surface alone or having doped with vari-ous inorganic salts could be utilized in carrying out differentorganic reactions under solvent-free conditions producingmolecules of biological and industrial importance Similarlypolyionic resins have been shown to immobilize reagentsandor catalysts and employ in transfer hydrogenation ofalkenes imines and nitroarenes and in different CndashC cross-coupling reaction Mild reaction conditions easy work-upprocedure selective synthesis of the target molecules andrecycling capability of the supported reagent or catalyst aresome of the advantages of adopting solid-phase organicreactions Further development of newer solid phases immo-bilization procedures resulting in regular dispersion andfinally their new applications are expected in the years tocome

23 Suzuki Coupling Reaction Biaryls and higher homo-logues are an important class of conjugated polyaromaticcompounds originating from benzene as unique buildingblocks Polyaryls have found wide range of applications

as liquid crystals laser-dyes and conducting polymers Inaddition biaryls and higher homologues are often presentas subunits in numerous biologically active natural productspharmaceuticals and agrochemicals [70ndash80] An efficientpalladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of polyhaloaromaticswith arylboronic acids on KFalumina was developed undermicrowave-assisted condition (Scheme 4) [81] The resultshave expanded the scope of the Suzuki reaction on a solvent-free inorganic surface leading to the synthesis of a largevariety of polyaromatics The reaction is fast operationallysimple and allows rapid access to a variety of polyaromatichydrocarbons

Primary amines were monoarylated successfully usingeither sodium tetraphenylborate or arylboronic acids Aro-matic amines bearing either electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups gave the corresponding unsymmetricaldiarylamines in good to excellent yields Aliphatic primaryamines and benzylamine also produced N-arylated productsin 70ndash75 yields Halo-substitutions either on the arylamine or the arylboronic acid remained unaffected under thereaction conditions

25 Synthesis of Quinoxalines Functionalized quinoxalinesrepresent a privileged class of N-containing heterocycles andexhibit a wide range of biological activities including antivi-ral antibacterial anthelmintic anti-inflammatory kinaseinhibitory and anticancer activities [83ndash89] A facile andexpeditious solid-phase synthesis of libraries of quinoxalinespromoted on KFalumina surface via tandem oxidation-condensation or condensation reactions has been developed(Scheme 6) [90] The reaction protocol is operationallysimple and mild Moreover solvent-free reaction conditionmakes the reaction procedure eco-friendly and economicallyviable The methodology has been established as a direct andexpeditious process of preparation of functionalized quinox-alines from different substrates like 120572-hydroxy ketones 120572-bromoketones or 120572-dicarbonyl compounds using a hetero-geneous basic surface of KFalumina

3 Reactions Promoted by Silica Gel

Silica gel is nontoxic nonflammable nonreactive and stablewith ordinary usage In chemistry silica gel is used inchromatography as a stationary phase [91] Owing to itshighly developed surface (5ndash800m2 gminus1) and high porosityit is used as sorbent for dehydration of gases and fluid asa catalyst support for various reactions Chemical reactionscatalyzed or promoted by silica gel usually proceed undermild conditions and with high chemo- regio- and stereo-selectivity and are operationally simple In the quest ofdeveloping solid surface mediated organic reactions a fewreactions are described using silica gel as a potential surface

pharmacological properties [92ndash94] 120573-Amino esters areuseful intermediates in certain attractive syntheses of 120573-lactam antibiotics [95ndash97] Optically active 120573-amino estersand derivatives often find applications as chiral auxiliariesin asymmetric synthesis [98] A solvent-free protocol forthe synthesis of 120573-amino esters and nitriles has been devel-oped via conjugate addition of amines to electron-deficientalkenes promoted on silica gel The silica surface may berecovered and recycled Both aliphatic and aromatic primaryor secondary amines worked efficiently to yield the desiredadducts in good to excellent yields (Scheme 7) [99] Themethod has been found to be mostly successful when thesilica gel of the type used for thin layer chromatography isused Bulky hindered secondary amines such as diisopropy-lamine and dicyclohexylamine that were previously reportedto be unproductive could efficiently undergo aza-Michaeladditions to produce corresponding 120573-amino esters [100]It was interesting to see that o-amino thiol bearing bothheteroatoms (N and S) could afford the bis-adduct whichindicates that thiols are also reactive under similar conditions(Scheme 7)

In general the reactions proceed smoothly under solvent-free conditions except in the eventual purification by columnchromatography Few reactions have been scaled up to10mmol of the amines and the desired products are isolatedwithout any significant change of yield The applicabilityof this ldquogreenrdquo methodology to a diverse variety of aminesincluding aromatic and sterically hindered amines remains tobe the attractive feature and can be utilized by synthetic andindustrial chemists

32 Selective 119873-Alkylation of Amines Further applicationof silica gel has been observed in selective N-alkylation ofamines Traditionally amines are alkylated in solution phaseusing inorganic acids as the catalysts and alkyl halides ordimethyl sulphate as the alkylating agents [101ndash111] besidesmethanol [112] and dimethyl carbonate [113] However yieldsor product-selectivity (mono- or bis-alkylations) are withfew exceptions low and depend on the nature of the catalystsand reaction conditions Though direct nucleophilic attackof amines to alkyl halides using a strong base is the moststraightforward procedure over alkylation use of strong

base and other harsh conditions greatly limit providing apractical generalized and selective procedure In contin-uation to explore organic reactions using solid surfaces ahighly selective procedure for mono- and bis-alkylationshas been developed via N-alkylation of amines with alkylhalides in solid phase using silica at room temperature(Scheme 8) [114] The procedure is simple and extremelyuseful for the control of the mono- bis- or overalkylationsby varying the reaction conditions and molar proportionsof amines and alkyl halides The selectivity for mono- orbis-alkylations greatly depends on temperature time of thereaction proportion of the reactants and also partly onthe type of silica gel Inactivated alkyl halides reacted withanilines to produce preferably the monoalkylated anilinesin major quantities even after using excess alkyl halide andcontinuing the reaction for prolonged time The methodwas applied successfully to aliphatic bis-amine such asethylene diamine and reaction with benzyl chloride or allylbromide afforded the desired tetra-alkylated product in 73ndash79 yields Selectivity of mono- and bis-alkylations underdifferent conditions has been further broadened to synthesizeunsymmetrical trialkylaryl amines (Scheme 8) The silicagel after purification and activation can be reused for tenconsecutive runs (tested) without any substantial reductionin the yield as is observed from the recycling experiment

Further attempts have been made to obtain general andefficient conditions for the S-acylation and S-alkylation reac-tions of several aromatic and aliphatic thiols with differentacid chlorides and activated alkyl halides respectively in thepresence of silica gel (Scheme 9) A smooth conversion wasobserved in each case affording the desired products in goodto excellent yields Moreover it was found that the recoveredsilica can be reused for seven consecutive runs without anyappreciable loss of activity [123]

34 Selective Synthesis of 12-Disubstituted BenzimidazolesFunctionalized benzimidazoles represent an important classof N-containing heterocyclic compounds and have receivedconsiderable attention in recent times because of their vastapplications as antiulcer antihypertensive antiviral antifun-gal anticancer and antihistamines among others and alsoact as ligands for complexation with transition metals whichare used for modeling biological systems [124ndash127] Severalsynthetic strategies have been developed for the preparationof functionalized benzimidazoles [128ndash140]

Synthetic methods for 12-disubstituted benzimidazoles3 often are associated with cooccurrence of several sidereactions and by-products as shown in Scheme 10

An efficient simple protocol has been developed forhighly selective synthesis of 12-disubstituted benzimidazole3 catalyzed by iron(III) sulfate supported on silica at ambienttemperature under solvent-free conditions (Scheme 11) [141]Silica-supported iron catalysts have been prepared and usedin affecting various organic reactions [142ndash148] Aldehydesbearing different functional groups as well as heteroarylaldehydes reacted smoothly with o-PDs leading to the for-mation of corresponding 12-disubstituted benzimidazoleswith complete selectivity and in good to excellent yields No

electronic or steric impact was found to be prominent in theselective formation of 3

Although the exact mechanism is not clear the Lewisacid-mediated mechanism is expected to play (Figure 2)Adsorption of iron(III) sulfate on the surface of silica isbelieved to make polynuclear iron(III) hydroxyl complexes 4[149] Silica being awater absorbent could facilitate formationof the bis-Schiff base 5 which has been reported and indeedwas isolated when the reaction was stopped after 20minThe Schiff base 5 may undergo cyclization followed by 13-hydride shift induced by electrophilic catalyst [150] resultingin the formation of the 12-disubstituted benzimidazole 3An indirect evidence in favour of 13-hydride shift of theSchiff base 5 isolated from o-phenylenediamine and salicy-laldehyde (6) showed reluctance to undergo cyclization atroom temperatureThis is possibly because of intramolecularHndashbonding with ondashOH group [151] making the nitrogenless nucleophilic and thus required higher temperature forthe cyclization (Scheme 12) The existence of intramolecularhydrogen bonding in the Schiff base (6) was also demon-strated by 1HndashNMR studies at varying concentrations of theSchiff base (6) [141]

Generally reagents and catalysts are immobilized ontopolymer surface involving (i) covalent binding (ii) entrap-ment where a preformed catalyst is enveloped within apolymer network and (iii) ion-pairing where cations oranions are bound to complementary resin sites [158] Immo-bilization of reagents and catalysts can also be done bymicroencapsulation [159] where the polymers are physicallyenveloped by thin films of reagents or catalysts and perhapsstabilized by the interaction between 120587 electrons of benzenerings of the polystyrene used as a polymer backbone andvacant orbital of reagents or catalysts [160]

41 Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) Using SupportedFormate Catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) with theaid of a stable hydrogen donor is a useful alternativemethod to catalytic hydrogenation usingmolecular hydrogen(H2) [161ndash166] In transfer hydrogenation several organic

molecules such as hydrocarbons primary and secondaryalcohols and formic acid and its salts have been employedas the hydrogen source [167ndash173] The use of reagents such ashydrazine is less frequent The use of a hydrogen donor hassome advantages over the use of molecular hydrogen since itavoids the risks and the constraints associated with hydrogengas as well as the necessity for using pressure vessels and otherequipment

411 Palladium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH)of Alkenes and Imines In connection with our interestin palladium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation (CTH) ofalkenes and imines using potassium formate [82] we wantedto develop a stable hydrogen donor anchored to a solidsurface to be used in CTH (Figure 5) In search of suitablepolymeric supports ion-exchange resins were used It wasobserved that Amberlite IRA-420 anion (chloride form)exchange resins commercially available and inexpensivepolyionic resin could exchange the anion with formate anion(HCOOminus) easily and quantitatively The resulting AmberliteResin Formate (anion) designated as ARF could be utilizedas a solid-phase version of theH-donor in Pd-catalyzed CTHThe ARF was air stable can be stored for several weeks andalso can be recovered from a reaction and reused Severalalkenes and iminewere thus hydrogenated using theARF andcatalytic amount of palladium acetate under mild conditions(Scheme 13) [174]

The reduction of the CndashC double bond proceededsmoothly at 70ndash75∘C requiring only gentle agitation work-up was then achieved by simple filtration extraction withdiethyl ether and followed by evaporation of the solvent Boththe cyano and ester groups remained unaffected under thereaction conditions The reduction of a dicyanoalkylidenederivative was found to occur with similar efficiency Themethod is operationally simple and applicable to a varietyof unsaturated organic compounds The use of a palladiumcatalyst exhibits some substrate selectivity and the transfer

412 Palladium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) ofNitroarenes With the success of reducing CndashC and CndashNbonds using the solid-supported formate as suitable H-donor[174] further attempts have been made in the reduction ofnitroarenes to anilines which is a synthetically importanttransformation both in the laboratory and in industry Formicacids and their salts are frequently employed as H-donor inCTH reactions and nitroarenes can be reduced to anilinesusing ammonium formate and Pd-C or Raney nickel [175ndash177] However reductive elimination of halogen substituentson the aromatic nucleus and formation of N-formyl deriva-tives instead of arylamines are the major drawbacks of usingammonium formatePd-C On the other hand combinationof NaBH

4with Cu(II) Co(II) or Rh(III) halides has been

used for reduction of the nitro group which is inert toNaBH4

itself [178 179] Metal hydrides are however water-sensitiveas well as expensive chemicals The reduction of nitro groupwas carried out using 2mol Pd(OAc)

polystyrene with formate anion (ARF) in a minimum quan-tity of DMF at 100ndash120∘C for 6ndash14 h (Scheme 14) [180]

413 Ruthenium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH)of Carbonyl Groups Reduction of carbonyl functionalityby transition metal-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation (CTH)with the aid of a suitable H-donor is a valuable synthetictool Generally reduction of aryl ketones is performedunder CTH using isopropyl alcohol as the H-donor [181ndash186] In order to check the efficiency of Amberlite ResinFormate (ARF) reduction of aryl ketones was studied usingthe combination of catalytic amount of Ru(III) salts and

the polyionic resin formateThe results constitute an efficientmethod for chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of arylaldehydes with the aid of resin-supported formate in thepresence of catalytic (25mol) amount of commerciallyavailable RuCl

3sdot3H2O in DMF or DMA solution as outlined

in Scheme 15 [187]On the basis of comparison with a well-defined Ru(II)

complex [Dichloro(p-cymene)ruthenium(II)] dimer (2mol) under similar conditions it is presumed that the Ru(III)salt might undergo in situ reduction to Ru(II) whichthen catalyzes the hydrogenation of the aldehydes Aryland heteroaryl aldehydes substituted with various electronwithdrawing and donating groups and the presence of o-substituents do not seem to influence the rate of thereduction as revealed by the similarity of the results andall compounds afford corresponding alcohols in high yieldsSeveral other potential reducible groups like halogens nitroand so forth are not affected under the reaction conditionsAliphatic aldehydes are also reduced to corresponding alco-hols efficiently Interestingly aryl ketones are not reducedunder similar conditions The selectivity between aryl alde-hyde and aryl ketone might offer a distinct advantage whenboth the functional groups are present Thus an experimentwas conducted taking a mixture of an aryl aldehyde and anaryl ketone (1mmol each) at 85∘C to finally afford the reducedalcohol from the aryl aldehyde but the aryl ketone remainedunchanged and recovered almost quantitativelyWhereas arylketones are not reduced under the conditions reduction ofbenzil to benzoin proceeds smoothly in good to excellentyields Distinct advantages of cleaner reaction and easyisolation of the product are notable features when comparingthe application of heterogeneous ARF and a simple formatesalt (herein potassium formate) in homogeneous phase

414 Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) Using Coim-mobilized CatalystReagent It is well established that Pdpromotes direct oxidation of formic acid to carbon dioxide

[173] The combination of formic acid and palladium acetateis known to undergo anionic ligand exchange to form apalladium diformate complex eventually producing Pd(0)through decarboxylation and loss of molecular hydrogenThe high degree of chemoselectivity in palladium-catalyzedtransfer hydrogenation using HCOOH or its salts has beenexplained on the basis that the hydrogen is delivered directlyfrom a palladium formate species which has much strongerhydridic nature as compared to that of a palladium hydridespecies (Scheme 16)

In CTH either a source of palladium is required for eachoperation or it may be supported by a polymer frameworkand reused several times It is reasoned that the palladiumcatalyst might be anchored to the ARF so that it could be usedand recycled (Scheme 17) It is observed that palladium canbe immobilized onto the polyionic resins surface and usedefficiently in the CTH of a variety of functional groupsThusa new solid-phase entity (ARF-Pd) has been developed coim-mobilizing both the catalyst and the reagent and expected tobe potentially useful in CTH of different functional groups

The efficiency and stability of this newly developed ARF-Pd was first examined in the reduction of electron-deficientalkenes conjugated with ketones nitriles and carboxylateesters (Scheme 18) [188] Further applications of this new het-erogeneous reductive system are tested with 12-dicarbonylcompounds When benzil or substituted benzil is used as thesubstrate the reduction of one of the carbonyl groups withARF-Pd in DMF at 110∘C has been completed within 10ndash12 h to furnish the corresponding120572-hydroxyketone (benzoin)in a 77ndash88 yield Aromatic nitro compounds are alsoreduced using the coimmobilized palladium in DMF Thisnew technique is highly chemoselective in the reduction

42 CndashC Cross-Coupling Reactions Transition metal-cata-lyzed cross-coupling reactions constitute the central part ofcontemporary organic synthesis [189ndash192] In particular thepalladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond-forming processesrepresent the foremost in the arena of organic process devel-opment The Heck Suzuki-Miyaura Sonogashira reactions(Scheme 19) are excellent tools for carbon-carbon couplingreactions between aryl halides or triflates and suitable part-ners [193]

The coupling of terminal alkynes with an aryl or vinylhalide performed with a palladium catalyst a copper co-catalyst and an amine base is termed as the Sonogashiracoupling reaction [194ndash206] Typically the reaction requiresanhydrous and anaerobic conditions but the newer proce-dures which have been developed show that the restrictionsare not so important

Over the last decade commendable research has beendone to achieve significant developments and to estab-lish practical methodologies [207ndash210] Widespread uses ofpalladium-catalyzed coupling reactions are found in modernorganic synthesis because the resulting coupled products

often find good applications in the preparation of materialspharmaceuticals and other bioactive compounds [211ndash218]As a part of recognition of these extremely useful reactionsNobel prize was awarded to Heck Suzuki and Negishi[219] Many efforts have been reported to immobilize Pdusing a support encapsulating in a polymer or dendrimeror immobilization by ligandpolymer but the problem ofleaching and recyclability still exists [220ndash236]

421 Use of ARF-Pd in CndashC Cross-Coupling Reactions Excel-lent activity high selectivity and reusability of the ARF-Pdas potential reductive system have prompted to explore it asa viable heterogeneous Pd catalyst in various CndashC couplingreactions (Scheme 20) [237] One of the key questions onwhich the researchers have focused is ldquohow canminimizationof catalyst cost and catalyst contamination of the product bebest achievedrdquo It may be noted that the investigation of theheterogeneous ARF-Pd has addressed a great extent to thisquestion

The catalytic activity of ARF-Pdwas first examined inthe Heck coupling reactions and then for the Suzuki andSonogashira reactions as outlined in Scheme 20

Indeed the Heck coupling between 3-chloroiodobenzeneand ethyl cinnamate in the presence of the heterogeneous cat-alyst ARF-Pd the cross-coupled product trans-ethyl-3-chlo-rocinnamate has been isolated in 86 yield Exclusive trans-selectivity is achieved as is assigned on the basis of the cou-pling constant (119869 = 159Hz) Although several iodoarenesundergo Heck coupling with an alkene interestingly thebromoarenes remain unchanged which is typically seen forother halogens like chloro or fluoro groups attached withthe aromatic moiety The ortho-substituent did not cause anysteric inhibition as usually experienced in other couplingreaction which may be attributed to high activity of thecatalyst

The Suzuki-Miyaura reaction (Scheme 20) has beencarried out using 4-bromo-2-methyl anisole phenyl boronicacidNa

2as the source of

palladiumThe Sonogashira coupling reaction normally requires 1ndash

10mol Pd(PPh3)2Cl2(or Pd(PPh

3)4) and copper(I) iodide

as the catalytic system Using the ARF-Pd the reaction of3-iodoanisole and 1-ethynyl-4-methylbenzene carried out inthe presence of Et

3Nas the base in acetonitrile solvent at 80∘C

for 6 h afforded the desired cross-coupled product in excellentyield (Scheme 20) Similar coupling reactions with otheriodoarenes and acetylenes are also found to be successful[237]

In all cases products are isolated in pure form simplyby filtering off the resin-bound palladium catalyst followedby chromatographic purification of the concentrated residueRecycling experiments are tested by taking Suzuki-Miyauracoupling between 14-dibromobenzene and phenylboronicacid The results have revealed that the catalyst is remarkably

active even in the fifth run Consecutive five runs were testedto evaluate the activity of ARF-Pd The palladium contentthroughout the recycling runs remained at a steady state withmarginal increase of Pd distribution on the resin surfacewhich might be due to repeated agitation of the beads duringthe reactions and exposing more surface area with palladiumcontent

422 Suzuki Coupling Using Solid-Phase ImmobilizedOrganoboron Species The concept of a resin-capture-releasetechnique generating the polymer-bound reactive specieshas been established as a potential method for severalorganic transformations [238ndash240] A variety of techniquesare reported in the literature to immobilize differentcomponents of Suzuki cross-coupling reaction [241ndash253]Polymer-bound boronic acids though reported as early as1976 [254] Frenette and Friesen [255] investigated theirutility in Suzuki coupling reaction in 1994

Further application of polyionic resin bound reagentsandor catalysts has been established when an ion-exchangeresin-supported organoborate species is derived as aheterogeneous phenylating agent [256] Thus Amberliteion-exchange resins (chloride form) are exchanged withtetraphenylborate anion (Ph

4Bminus) by continuous rinsing with

an aqueous solution of NaBPh4until the washings gave

negative response to chloride anion (monitored with AgNO3

solution followed by addition of aqueous ammonia) Thepolyionic resins with the tetraphenylborate counter anion(Ph4Bminus) have been used directly for the Suzuki coupling

reaction Initial studies on coupling with 3-iodotoluene inthe presence of palladium catalyst [Pd(OAc)

2 2mol and

Na2CO3 1 equiv] afford the unsymmetrical biphenyl in

90 yield (Scheme 21 condition (a)) Similar coupling of 3-iodotoluene and NaBPh

4in the presence of Na

only 43 yield of the coupled product (Scheme 21 condition(b)) However on increasing the quantity of NaBPh

(Scheme 21 condition (c)) An interesting observation isthat the yield of the coupled product is not influenced by theabsence of base (Scheme 21 conditions (d) and (e)) Suchbase-free conditions for SM reactions could offer significantpractical advantages and have not previously been reportedwith the organoborate ion bound with solid-phase polymericframeworks

423 Organic Disulfide (SndashS Linkage) Synthesis Organicdisulfides (bearing SndashS linkage) are useful compounds ofwidespread occurrence possessing unique and diverse chem-istry in the synthetic biochemical and agrochemical areas[257ndash259] Disulfide-linked aggregates ubiquitously occurin proteins and many other bioactive molecules Disulfidebonds play an important role in the folding and stabilityof some proteins [260 261] Industrially disulfides find vastapplications as vulcanizing agents for rubbers and elastomerscontributing them considerable tensile strength [262 263]Apart from various solution-phase approaches for the syn-thesis of disulfide from thiols and other precursors thereare few reports on the synthesis of disulfides promoted bypolymeric resin hydroxides In a recent report Sengupta andBasu have shown that Amberlyst A-26(OH) can efficientlypromote smooth conversion of disulfides from alkyl and acyl

methyl thiocyanates in good to excellent yields (Scheme 22)They have also demonstrated that the use of polyionic resinhydroxide has resulted in much better results over otherhomogeneous bases like NaOH NH

5 Conclusion

Thus a series of reactions has been developed exhibitingthe potential of using both inorganic and organic polymericframeworks as the solid phaseThe present review has shownthat alumina silica surface alone or having doped with vari-ous inorganic salts could be utilized in carrying out differentorganic reactions under solvent-free conditions producingmolecules of biological and industrial importance Similarlypolyionic resins have been shown to immobilize reagentsandor catalysts and employ in transfer hydrogenation ofalkenes imines and nitroarenes and in different CndashC cross-coupling reaction Mild reaction conditions easy work-upprocedure selective synthesis of the target molecules andrecycling capability of the supported reagent or catalyst aresome of the advantages of adopting solid-phase organicreactions Further development of newer solid phases immo-bilization procedures resulting in regular dispersion andfinally their new applications are expected in the years tocome

promoted by inexpensive cupric acetate on the surfaceof KFalumina has been developed (Scheme 5) [82] Thereaction is selective for mono-N-arylation and a variety offunctional groups are tolerated in the process establishing theversatility of KFalumina

Primary amines were monoarylated successfully usingeither sodium tetraphenylborate or arylboronic acids Aro-matic amines bearing either electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups gave the corresponding unsymmetricaldiarylamines in good to excellent yields Aliphatic primaryamines and benzylamine also produced N-arylated productsin 70ndash75 yields Halo-substitutions either on the arylamine or the arylboronic acid remained unaffected under thereaction conditions

25 Synthesis of Quinoxalines Functionalized quinoxalinesrepresent a privileged class of N-containing heterocycles andexhibit a wide range of biological activities including antivi-ral antibacterial anthelmintic anti-inflammatory kinaseinhibitory and anticancer activities [83ndash89] A facile andexpeditious solid-phase synthesis of libraries of quinoxalinespromoted on KFalumina surface via tandem oxidation-condensation or condensation reactions has been developed(Scheme 6) [90] The reaction protocol is operationallysimple and mild Moreover solvent-free reaction conditionmakes the reaction procedure eco-friendly and economicallyviable The methodology has been established as a direct andexpeditious process of preparation of functionalized quinox-alines from different substrates like 120572-hydroxy ketones 120572-bromoketones or 120572-dicarbonyl compounds using a hetero-geneous basic surface of KFalumina

3 Reactions Promoted by Silica Gel

Silica gel is nontoxic nonflammable nonreactive and stablewith ordinary usage In chemistry silica gel is used inchromatography as a stationary phase [91] Owing to itshighly developed surface (5ndash800m2 gminus1) and high porosityit is used as sorbent for dehydration of gases and fluid asa catalyst support for various reactions Chemical reactionscatalyzed or promoted by silica gel usually proceed undermild conditions and with high chemo- regio- and stereo-selectivity and are operationally simple In the quest ofdeveloping solid surface mediated organic reactions a fewreactions are described using silica gel as a potential surface

pharmacological properties [92ndash94] 120573-Amino esters areuseful intermediates in certain attractive syntheses of 120573-lactam antibiotics [95ndash97] Optically active 120573-amino estersand derivatives often find applications as chiral auxiliariesin asymmetric synthesis [98] A solvent-free protocol forthe synthesis of 120573-amino esters and nitriles has been devel-oped via conjugate addition of amines to electron-deficientalkenes promoted on silica gel The silica surface may berecovered and recycled Both aliphatic and aromatic primaryor secondary amines worked efficiently to yield the desiredadducts in good to excellent yields (Scheme 7) [99] Themethod has been found to be mostly successful when thesilica gel of the type used for thin layer chromatography isused Bulky hindered secondary amines such as diisopropy-lamine and dicyclohexylamine that were previously reportedto be unproductive could efficiently undergo aza-Michaeladditions to produce corresponding 120573-amino esters [100]It was interesting to see that o-amino thiol bearing bothheteroatoms (N and S) could afford the bis-adduct whichindicates that thiols are also reactive under similar conditions(Scheme 7)

In general the reactions proceed smoothly under solvent-free conditions except in the eventual purification by columnchromatography Few reactions have been scaled up to10mmol of the amines and the desired products are isolatedwithout any significant change of yield The applicabilityof this ldquogreenrdquo methodology to a diverse variety of aminesincluding aromatic and sterically hindered amines remains tobe the attractive feature and can be utilized by synthetic andindustrial chemists

32 Selective 119873-Alkylation of Amines Further applicationof silica gel has been observed in selective N-alkylation ofamines Traditionally amines are alkylated in solution phaseusing inorganic acids as the catalysts and alkyl halides ordimethyl sulphate as the alkylating agents [101ndash111] besidesmethanol [112] and dimethyl carbonate [113] However yieldsor product-selectivity (mono- or bis-alkylations) are withfew exceptions low and depend on the nature of the catalystsand reaction conditions Though direct nucleophilic attackof amines to alkyl halides using a strong base is the moststraightforward procedure over alkylation use of strong

base and other harsh conditions greatly limit providing apractical generalized and selective procedure In contin-uation to explore organic reactions using solid surfaces ahighly selective procedure for mono- and bis-alkylationshas been developed via N-alkylation of amines with alkylhalides in solid phase using silica at room temperature(Scheme 8) [114] The procedure is simple and extremelyuseful for the control of the mono- bis- or overalkylationsby varying the reaction conditions and molar proportionsof amines and alkyl halides The selectivity for mono- orbis-alkylations greatly depends on temperature time of thereaction proportion of the reactants and also partly onthe type of silica gel Inactivated alkyl halides reacted withanilines to produce preferably the monoalkylated anilinesin major quantities even after using excess alkyl halide andcontinuing the reaction for prolonged time The methodwas applied successfully to aliphatic bis-amine such asethylene diamine and reaction with benzyl chloride or allylbromide afforded the desired tetra-alkylated product in 73ndash79 yields Selectivity of mono- and bis-alkylations underdifferent conditions has been further broadened to synthesizeunsymmetrical trialkylaryl amines (Scheme 8) The silicagel after purification and activation can be reused for tenconsecutive runs (tested) without any substantial reductionin the yield as is observed from the recycling experiment

Further attempts have been made to obtain general andefficient conditions for the S-acylation and S-alkylation reac-tions of several aromatic and aliphatic thiols with differentacid chlorides and activated alkyl halides respectively in thepresence of silica gel (Scheme 9) A smooth conversion wasobserved in each case affording the desired products in goodto excellent yields Moreover it was found that the recoveredsilica can be reused for seven consecutive runs without anyappreciable loss of activity [123]

34 Selective Synthesis of 12-Disubstituted BenzimidazolesFunctionalized benzimidazoles represent an important classof N-containing heterocyclic compounds and have receivedconsiderable attention in recent times because of their vastapplications as antiulcer antihypertensive antiviral antifun-gal anticancer and antihistamines among others and alsoact as ligands for complexation with transition metals whichare used for modeling biological systems [124ndash127] Severalsynthetic strategies have been developed for the preparationof functionalized benzimidazoles [128ndash140]

Synthetic methods for 12-disubstituted benzimidazoles3 often are associated with cooccurrence of several sidereactions and by-products as shown in Scheme 10

An efficient simple protocol has been developed forhighly selective synthesis of 12-disubstituted benzimidazole3 catalyzed by iron(III) sulfate supported on silica at ambienttemperature under solvent-free conditions (Scheme 11) [141]Silica-supported iron catalysts have been prepared and usedin affecting various organic reactions [142ndash148] Aldehydesbearing different functional groups as well as heteroarylaldehydes reacted smoothly with o-PDs leading to the for-mation of corresponding 12-disubstituted benzimidazoleswith complete selectivity and in good to excellent yields No

electronic or steric impact was found to be prominent in theselective formation of 3

Although the exact mechanism is not clear the Lewisacid-mediated mechanism is expected to play (Figure 2)Adsorption of iron(III) sulfate on the surface of silica isbelieved to make polynuclear iron(III) hydroxyl complexes 4[149] Silica being awater absorbent could facilitate formationof the bis-Schiff base 5 which has been reported and indeedwas isolated when the reaction was stopped after 20minThe Schiff base 5 may undergo cyclization followed by 13-hydride shift induced by electrophilic catalyst [150] resultingin the formation of the 12-disubstituted benzimidazole 3An indirect evidence in favour of 13-hydride shift of theSchiff base 5 isolated from o-phenylenediamine and salicy-laldehyde (6) showed reluctance to undergo cyclization atroom temperatureThis is possibly because of intramolecularHndashbonding with ondashOH group [151] making the nitrogenless nucleophilic and thus required higher temperature forthe cyclization (Scheme 12) The existence of intramolecularhydrogen bonding in the Schiff base (6) was also demon-strated by 1HndashNMR studies at varying concentrations of theSchiff base (6) [141]

4 Reactions on Organic Polymer Support

The polymeric supports used by Merrifield for his earlywork in solid-phase peptide synthesis were based on 2divinylbenzene (DVB) cross-linked polystyrenes (PS) PShas been found to be one of the most accepted polymericmaterial used in various synthesis because it is inexpensivereadily available mechanically robust chemically inert andsmoothly functionalizable [152 153] Crosslinking impartsmechanical stability improved diffusion and swelling proper-ties to the resin Various percentages and types of crosslinkingagents have been incorporated into the PS resins the mostcommon being DVB but other examples include ethyleneglycol dimethylacrylate (EGDMA) and tetraethylene glycoldiacrylate (TEGDA) to give different solvation properties[154 155] A schematic representation of polymerization ofstyrene with functionalized monomers is shown in Figure 3

Generally reagents and catalysts are immobilized ontopolymer surface involving (i) covalent binding (ii) entrap-ment where a preformed catalyst is enveloped within apolymer network and (iii) ion-pairing where cations oranions are bound to complementary resin sites [158] Immo-bilization of reagents and catalysts can also be done bymicroencapsulation [159] where the polymers are physicallyenveloped by thin films of reagents or catalysts and perhapsstabilized by the interaction between 120587 electrons of benzenerings of the polystyrene used as a polymer backbone andvacant orbital of reagents or catalysts [160]

41 Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) Using SupportedFormate Catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) with theaid of a stable hydrogen donor is a useful alternativemethod to catalytic hydrogenation usingmolecular hydrogen(H2) [161ndash166] In transfer hydrogenation several organic

molecules such as hydrocarbons primary and secondaryalcohols and formic acid and its salts have been employedas the hydrogen source [167ndash173] The use of reagents such ashydrazine is less frequent The use of a hydrogen donor hassome advantages over the use of molecular hydrogen since itavoids the risks and the constraints associated with hydrogengas as well as the necessity for using pressure vessels and otherequipment

411 Palladium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH)of Alkenes and Imines In connection with our interestin palladium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation (CTH) ofalkenes and imines using potassium formate [82] we wantedto develop a stable hydrogen donor anchored to a solidsurface to be used in CTH (Figure 5) In search of suitablepolymeric supports ion-exchange resins were used It wasobserved that Amberlite IRA-420 anion (chloride form)exchange resins commercially available and inexpensivepolyionic resin could exchange the anion with formate anion(HCOOminus) easily and quantitatively The resulting AmberliteResin Formate (anion) designated as ARF could be utilizedas a solid-phase version of theH-donor in Pd-catalyzed CTHThe ARF was air stable can be stored for several weeks andalso can be recovered from a reaction and reused Severalalkenes and iminewere thus hydrogenated using theARF andcatalytic amount of palladium acetate under mild conditions(Scheme 13) [174]

The reduction of the CndashC double bond proceededsmoothly at 70ndash75∘C requiring only gentle agitation work-up was then achieved by simple filtration extraction withdiethyl ether and followed by evaporation of the solvent Boththe cyano and ester groups remained unaffected under thereaction conditions The reduction of a dicyanoalkylidenederivative was found to occur with similar efficiency Themethod is operationally simple and applicable to a varietyof unsaturated organic compounds The use of a palladiumcatalyst exhibits some substrate selectivity and the transfer

412 Palladium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) ofNitroarenes With the success of reducing CndashC and CndashNbonds using the solid-supported formate as suitable H-donor[174] further attempts have been made in the reduction ofnitroarenes to anilines which is a synthetically importanttransformation both in the laboratory and in industry Formicacids and their salts are frequently employed as H-donor inCTH reactions and nitroarenes can be reduced to anilinesusing ammonium formate and Pd-C or Raney nickel [175ndash177] However reductive elimination of halogen substituentson the aromatic nucleus and formation of N-formyl deriva-tives instead of arylamines are the major drawbacks of usingammonium formatePd-C On the other hand combinationof NaBH

4with Cu(II) Co(II) or Rh(III) halides has been

used for reduction of the nitro group which is inert toNaBH4

itself [178 179] Metal hydrides are however water-sensitiveas well as expensive chemicals The reduction of nitro groupwas carried out using 2mol Pd(OAc)

polystyrene with formate anion (ARF) in a minimum quan-tity of DMF at 100ndash120∘C for 6ndash14 h (Scheme 14) [180]

413 Ruthenium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH)of Carbonyl Groups Reduction of carbonyl functionalityby transition metal-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation (CTH)with the aid of a suitable H-donor is a valuable synthetictool Generally reduction of aryl ketones is performedunder CTH using isopropyl alcohol as the H-donor [181ndash186] In order to check the efficiency of Amberlite ResinFormate (ARF) reduction of aryl ketones was studied usingthe combination of catalytic amount of Ru(III) salts and

the polyionic resin formateThe results constitute an efficientmethod for chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of arylaldehydes with the aid of resin-supported formate in thepresence of catalytic (25mol) amount of commerciallyavailable RuCl

3sdot3H2O in DMF or DMA solution as outlined

in Scheme 15 [187]On the basis of comparison with a well-defined Ru(II)

complex [Dichloro(p-cymene)ruthenium(II)] dimer (2mol) under similar conditions it is presumed that the Ru(III)salt might undergo in situ reduction to Ru(II) whichthen catalyzes the hydrogenation of the aldehydes Aryland heteroaryl aldehydes substituted with various electronwithdrawing and donating groups and the presence of o-substituents do not seem to influence the rate of thereduction as revealed by the similarity of the results andall compounds afford corresponding alcohols in high yieldsSeveral other potential reducible groups like halogens nitroand so forth are not affected under the reaction conditionsAliphatic aldehydes are also reduced to corresponding alco-hols efficiently Interestingly aryl ketones are not reducedunder similar conditions The selectivity between aryl alde-hyde and aryl ketone might offer a distinct advantage whenboth the functional groups are present Thus an experimentwas conducted taking a mixture of an aryl aldehyde and anaryl ketone (1mmol each) at 85∘C to finally afford the reducedalcohol from the aryl aldehyde but the aryl ketone remainedunchanged and recovered almost quantitativelyWhereas arylketones are not reduced under the conditions reduction ofbenzil to benzoin proceeds smoothly in good to excellentyields Distinct advantages of cleaner reaction and easyisolation of the product are notable features when comparingthe application of heterogeneous ARF and a simple formatesalt (herein potassium formate) in homogeneous phase

414 Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) Using Coim-mobilized CatalystReagent It is well established that Pdpromotes direct oxidation of formic acid to carbon dioxide

[173] The combination of formic acid and palladium acetateis known to undergo anionic ligand exchange to form apalladium diformate complex eventually producing Pd(0)through decarboxylation and loss of molecular hydrogenThe high degree of chemoselectivity in palladium-catalyzedtransfer hydrogenation using HCOOH or its salts has beenexplained on the basis that the hydrogen is delivered directlyfrom a palladium formate species which has much strongerhydridic nature as compared to that of a palladium hydridespecies (Scheme 16)

In CTH either a source of palladium is required for eachoperation or it may be supported by a polymer frameworkand reused several times It is reasoned that the palladiumcatalyst might be anchored to the ARF so that it could be usedand recycled (Scheme 17) It is observed that palladium canbe immobilized onto the polyionic resins surface and usedefficiently in the CTH of a variety of functional groupsThusa new solid-phase entity (ARF-Pd) has been developed coim-mobilizing both the catalyst and the reagent and expected tobe potentially useful in CTH of different functional groups

The efficiency and stability of this newly developed ARF-Pd was first examined in the reduction of electron-deficientalkenes conjugated with ketones nitriles and carboxylateesters (Scheme 18) [188] Further applications of this new het-erogeneous reductive system are tested with 12-dicarbonylcompounds When benzil or substituted benzil is used as thesubstrate the reduction of one of the carbonyl groups withARF-Pd in DMF at 110∘C has been completed within 10ndash12 h to furnish the corresponding120572-hydroxyketone (benzoin)in a 77ndash88 yield Aromatic nitro compounds are alsoreduced using the coimmobilized palladium in DMF Thisnew technique is highly chemoselective in the reduction

42 CndashC Cross-Coupling Reactions Transition metal-cata-lyzed cross-coupling reactions constitute the central part ofcontemporary organic synthesis [189ndash192] In particular thepalladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond-forming processesrepresent the foremost in the arena of organic process devel-opment The Heck Suzuki-Miyaura Sonogashira reactions(Scheme 19) are excellent tools for carbon-carbon couplingreactions between aryl halides or triflates and suitable part-ners [193]

The coupling of terminal alkynes with an aryl or vinylhalide performed with a palladium catalyst a copper co-catalyst and an amine base is termed as the Sonogashiracoupling reaction [194ndash206] Typically the reaction requiresanhydrous and anaerobic conditions but the newer proce-dures which have been developed show that the restrictionsare not so important

Over the last decade commendable research has beendone to achieve significant developments and to estab-lish practical methodologies [207ndash210] Widespread uses ofpalladium-catalyzed coupling reactions are found in modernorganic synthesis because the resulting coupled products

often find good applications in the preparation of materialspharmaceuticals and other bioactive compounds [211ndash218]As a part of recognition of these extremely useful reactionsNobel prize was awarded to Heck Suzuki and Negishi[219] Many efforts have been reported to immobilize Pdusing a support encapsulating in a polymer or dendrimeror immobilization by ligandpolymer but the problem ofleaching and recyclability still exists [220ndash236]

421 Use of ARF-Pd in CndashC Cross-Coupling Reactions Excel-lent activity high selectivity and reusability of the ARF-Pdas potential reductive system have prompted to explore it asa viable heterogeneous Pd catalyst in various CndashC couplingreactions (Scheme 20) [237] One of the key questions onwhich the researchers have focused is ldquohow canminimizationof catalyst cost and catalyst contamination of the product bebest achievedrdquo It may be noted that the investigation of theheterogeneous ARF-Pd has addressed a great extent to thisquestion

The catalytic activity of ARF-Pdwas first examined inthe Heck coupling reactions and then for the Suzuki andSonogashira reactions as outlined in Scheme 20

Indeed the Heck coupling between 3-chloroiodobenzeneand ethyl cinnamate in the presence of the heterogeneous cat-alyst ARF-Pd the cross-coupled product trans-ethyl-3-chlo-rocinnamate has been isolated in 86 yield Exclusive trans-selectivity is achieved as is assigned on the basis of the cou-pling constant (119869 = 159Hz) Although several iodoarenesundergo Heck coupling with an alkene interestingly thebromoarenes remain unchanged which is typically seen forother halogens like chloro or fluoro groups attached withthe aromatic moiety The ortho-substituent did not cause anysteric inhibition as usually experienced in other couplingreaction which may be attributed to high activity of thecatalyst

2as the source of

palladiumThe Sonogashira coupling reaction normally requires 1ndash

10mol Pd(PPh3)2Cl2(or Pd(PPh

3)4) and copper(I) iodide

as the catalytic system Using the ARF-Pd the reaction of3-iodoanisole and 1-ethynyl-4-methylbenzene carried out inthe presence of Et

3Nas the base in acetonitrile solvent at 80∘C

for 6 h afforded the desired cross-coupled product in excellentyield (Scheme 20) Similar coupling reactions with otheriodoarenes and acetylenes are also found to be successful[237]

In all cases products are isolated in pure form simplyby filtering off the resin-bound palladium catalyst followedby chromatographic purification of the concentrated residueRecycling experiments are tested by taking Suzuki-Miyauracoupling between 14-dibromobenzene and phenylboronicacid The results have revealed that the catalyst is remarkably

active even in the fifth run Consecutive five runs were testedto evaluate the activity of ARF-Pd The palladium contentthroughout the recycling runs remained at a steady state withmarginal increase of Pd distribution on the resin surfacewhich might be due to repeated agitation of the beads duringthe reactions and exposing more surface area with palladiumcontent

422 Suzuki Coupling Using Solid-Phase ImmobilizedOrganoboron Species The concept of a resin-capture-releasetechnique generating the polymer-bound reactive specieshas been established as a potential method for severalorganic transformations [238ndash240] A variety of techniquesare reported in the literature to immobilize differentcomponents of Suzuki cross-coupling reaction [241ndash253]Polymer-bound boronic acids though reported as early as1976 [254] Frenette and Friesen [255] investigated theirutility in Suzuki coupling reaction in 1994

Further application of polyionic resin bound reagentsandor catalysts has been established when an ion-exchangeresin-supported organoborate species is derived as aheterogeneous phenylating agent [256] Thus Amberliteion-exchange resins (chloride form) are exchanged withtetraphenylborate anion (Ph

4Bminus) by continuous rinsing with

an aqueous solution of NaBPh4until the washings gave

negative response to chloride anion (monitored with AgNO3

solution followed by addition of aqueous ammonia) Thepolyionic resins with the tetraphenylborate counter anion(Ph4Bminus) have been used directly for the Suzuki coupling

reaction Initial studies on coupling with 3-iodotoluene inthe presence of palladium catalyst [Pd(OAc)

2 2mol and

Na2CO3 1 equiv] afford the unsymmetrical biphenyl in

only 43 yield of the coupled product (Scheme 21 condition(b)) However on increasing the quantity of NaBPh

423 Organic Disulfide (SndashS Linkage) Synthesis Organicdisulfides (bearing SndashS linkage) are useful compounds ofwidespread occurrence possessing unique and diverse chem-istry in the synthetic biochemical and agrochemical areas[257ndash259] Disulfide-linked aggregates ubiquitously occurin proteins and many other bioactive molecules Disulfidebonds play an important role in the folding and stabilityof some proteins [260 261] Industrially disulfides find vastapplications as vulcanizing agents for rubbers and elastomerscontributing them considerable tensile strength [262 263]Apart from various solution-phase approaches for the syn-thesis of disulfide from thiols and other precursors thereare few reports on the synthesis of disulfides promoted bypolymeric resin hydroxides In a recent report Sengupta andBasu have shown that Amberlyst A-26(OH) can efficientlypromote smooth conversion of disulfides from alkyl and acyl

methyl thiocyanates in good to excellent yields (Scheme 22)They have also demonstrated that the use of polyionic resinhydroxide has resulted in much better results over otherhomogeneous bases like NaOH NH

5 Conclusion

Thus a series of reactions has been developed exhibitingthe potential of using both inorganic and organic polymericframeworks as the solid phaseThe present review has shownthat alumina silica surface alone or having doped with vari-ous inorganic salts could be utilized in carrying out differentorganic reactions under solvent-free conditions producingmolecules of biological and industrial importance Similarlypolyionic resins have been shown to immobilize reagentsandor catalysts and employ in transfer hydrogenation ofalkenes imines and nitroarenes and in different CndashC cross-coupling reaction Mild reaction conditions easy work-upprocedure selective synthesis of the target molecules andrecycling capability of the supported reagent or catalyst aresome of the advantages of adopting solid-phase organicreactions Further development of newer solid phases immo-bilization procedures resulting in regular dispersion andfinally their new applications are expected in the years tocome

base and other harsh conditions greatly limit providing apractical generalized and selective procedure In contin-uation to explore organic reactions using solid surfaces ahighly selective procedure for mono- and bis-alkylationshas been developed via N-alkylation of amines with alkylhalides in solid phase using silica at room temperature(Scheme 8) [114] The procedure is simple and extremelyuseful for the control of the mono- bis- or overalkylationsby varying the reaction conditions and molar proportionsof amines and alkyl halides The selectivity for mono- orbis-alkylations greatly depends on temperature time of thereaction proportion of the reactants and also partly onthe type of silica gel Inactivated alkyl halides reacted withanilines to produce preferably the monoalkylated anilinesin major quantities even after using excess alkyl halide andcontinuing the reaction for prolonged time The methodwas applied successfully to aliphatic bis-amine such asethylene diamine and reaction with benzyl chloride or allylbromide afforded the desired tetra-alkylated product in 73ndash79 yields Selectivity of mono- and bis-alkylations underdifferent conditions has been further broadened to synthesizeunsymmetrical trialkylaryl amines (Scheme 8) The silicagel after purification and activation can be reused for tenconsecutive runs (tested) without any substantial reductionin the yield as is observed from the recycling experiment

Further attempts have been made to obtain general andefficient conditions for the S-acylation and S-alkylation reac-tions of several aromatic and aliphatic thiols with differentacid chlorides and activated alkyl halides respectively in thepresence of silica gel (Scheme 9) A smooth conversion wasobserved in each case affording the desired products in goodto excellent yields Moreover it was found that the recoveredsilica can be reused for seven consecutive runs without anyappreciable loss of activity [123]

34 Selective Synthesis of 12-Disubstituted BenzimidazolesFunctionalized benzimidazoles represent an important classof N-containing heterocyclic compounds and have receivedconsiderable attention in recent times because of their vastapplications as antiulcer antihypertensive antiviral antifun-gal anticancer and antihistamines among others and alsoact as ligands for complexation with transition metals whichare used for modeling biological systems [124ndash127] Severalsynthetic strategies have been developed for the preparationof functionalized benzimidazoles [128ndash140]

Synthetic methods for 12-disubstituted benzimidazoles3 often are associated with cooccurrence of several sidereactions and by-products as shown in Scheme 10

An efficient simple protocol has been developed forhighly selective synthesis of 12-disubstituted benzimidazole3 catalyzed by iron(III) sulfate supported on silica at ambienttemperature under solvent-free conditions (Scheme 11) [141]Silica-supported iron catalysts have been prepared and usedin affecting various organic reactions [142ndash148] Aldehydesbearing different functional groups as well as heteroarylaldehydes reacted smoothly with o-PDs leading to the for-mation of corresponding 12-disubstituted benzimidazoleswith complete selectivity and in good to excellent yields No

electronic or steric impact was found to be prominent in theselective formation of 3

Although the exact mechanism is not clear the Lewisacid-mediated mechanism is expected to play (Figure 2)Adsorption of iron(III) sulfate on the surface of silica isbelieved to make polynuclear iron(III) hydroxyl complexes 4[149] Silica being awater absorbent could facilitate formationof the bis-Schiff base 5 which has been reported and indeedwas isolated when the reaction was stopped after 20minThe Schiff base 5 may undergo cyclization followed by 13-hydride shift induced by electrophilic catalyst [150] resultingin the formation of the 12-disubstituted benzimidazole 3An indirect evidence in favour of 13-hydride shift of theSchiff base 5 isolated from o-phenylenediamine and salicy-laldehyde (6) showed reluctance to undergo cyclization atroom temperatureThis is possibly because of intramolecularHndashbonding with ondashOH group [151] making the nitrogenless nucleophilic and thus required higher temperature forthe cyclization (Scheme 12) The existence of intramolecularhydrogen bonding in the Schiff base (6) was also demon-strated by 1HndashNMR studies at varying concentrations of theSchiff base (6) [141]

4 Reactions on Organic Polymer Support

The polymeric supports used by Merrifield for his earlywork in solid-phase peptide synthesis were based on 2divinylbenzene (DVB) cross-linked polystyrenes (PS) PShas been found to be one of the most accepted polymericmaterial used in various synthesis because it is inexpensivereadily available mechanically robust chemically inert andsmoothly functionalizable [152 153] Crosslinking impartsmechanical stability improved diffusion and swelling proper-ties to the resin Various percentages and types of crosslinkingagents have been incorporated into the PS resins the mostcommon being DVB but other examples include ethyleneglycol dimethylacrylate (EGDMA) and tetraethylene glycoldiacrylate (TEGDA) to give different solvation properties[154 155] A schematic representation of polymerization ofstyrene with functionalized monomers is shown in Figure 3

TentaGel [156] and ArgoGel [157] (Figure 4) are twocommercially available examples where the incorporationof the PEG chains dramatically increases resin compatibilitywith polar solvents

Generally reagents and catalysts are immobilized ontopolymer surface involving (i) covalent binding (ii) entrap-ment where a preformed catalyst is enveloped within apolymer network and (iii) ion-pairing where cations oranions are bound to complementary resin sites [158] Immo-bilization of reagents and catalysts can also be done bymicroencapsulation [159] where the polymers are physicallyenveloped by thin films of reagents or catalysts and perhapsstabilized by the interaction between 120587 electrons of benzenerings of the polystyrene used as a polymer backbone andvacant orbital of reagents or catalysts [160]

41 Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) Using SupportedFormate Catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) with theaid of a stable hydrogen donor is a useful alternativemethod to catalytic hydrogenation usingmolecular hydrogen(H2) [161ndash166] In transfer hydrogenation several organic

molecules such as hydrocarbons primary and secondaryalcohols and formic acid and its salts have been employedas the hydrogen source [167ndash173] The use of reagents such ashydrazine is less frequent The use of a hydrogen donor hassome advantages over the use of molecular hydrogen since itavoids the risks and the constraints associated with hydrogengas as well as the necessity for using pressure vessels and otherequipment

411 Palladium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH)of Alkenes and Imines In connection with our interestin palladium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation (CTH) ofalkenes and imines using potassium formate [82] we wantedto develop a stable hydrogen donor anchored to a solidsurface to be used in CTH (Figure 5) In search of suitablepolymeric supports ion-exchange resins were used It wasobserved that Amberlite IRA-420 anion (chloride form)exchange resins commercially available and inexpensivepolyionic resin could exchange the anion with formate anion(HCOOminus) easily and quantitatively The resulting AmberliteResin Formate (anion) designated as ARF could be utilizedas a solid-phase version of theH-donor in Pd-catalyzed CTHThe ARF was air stable can be stored for several weeks andalso can be recovered from a reaction and reused Severalalkenes and iminewere thus hydrogenated using theARF andcatalytic amount of palladium acetate under mild conditions(Scheme 13) [174]

The reduction of the CndashC double bond proceededsmoothly at 70ndash75∘C requiring only gentle agitation work-up was then achieved by simple filtration extraction withdiethyl ether and followed by evaporation of the solvent Boththe cyano and ester groups remained unaffected under thereaction conditions The reduction of a dicyanoalkylidenederivative was found to occur with similar efficiency Themethod is operationally simple and applicable to a varietyof unsaturated organic compounds The use of a palladiumcatalyst exhibits some substrate selectivity and the transfer

412 Palladium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) ofNitroarenes With the success of reducing CndashC and CndashNbonds using the solid-supported formate as suitable H-donor[174] further attempts have been made in the reduction ofnitroarenes to anilines which is a synthetically importanttransformation both in the laboratory and in industry Formicacids and their salts are frequently employed as H-donor inCTH reactions and nitroarenes can be reduced to anilinesusing ammonium formate and Pd-C or Raney nickel [175ndash177] However reductive elimination of halogen substituentson the aromatic nucleus and formation of N-formyl deriva-tives instead of arylamines are the major drawbacks of usingammonium formatePd-C On the other hand combinationof NaBH

4with Cu(II) Co(II) or Rh(III) halides has been

used for reduction of the nitro group which is inert toNaBH4

itself [178 179] Metal hydrides are however water-sensitiveas well as expensive chemicals The reduction of nitro groupwas carried out using 2mol Pd(OAc)

polystyrene with formate anion (ARF) in a minimum quan-tity of DMF at 100ndash120∘C for 6ndash14 h (Scheme 14) [180]

413 Ruthenium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH)of Carbonyl Groups Reduction of carbonyl functionalityby transition metal-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation (CTH)with the aid of a suitable H-donor is a valuable synthetictool Generally reduction of aryl ketones is performedunder CTH using isopropyl alcohol as the H-donor [181ndash186] In order to check the efficiency of Amberlite ResinFormate (ARF) reduction of aryl ketones was studied usingthe combination of catalytic amount of Ru(III) salts and

the polyionic resin formateThe results constitute an efficientmethod for chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of arylaldehydes with the aid of resin-supported formate in thepresence of catalytic (25mol) amount of commerciallyavailable RuCl

3sdot3H2O in DMF or DMA solution as outlined

in Scheme 15 [187]On the basis of comparison with a well-defined Ru(II)

complex [Dichloro(p-cymene)ruthenium(II)] dimer (2mol) under similar conditions it is presumed that the Ru(III)salt might undergo in situ reduction to Ru(II) whichthen catalyzes the hydrogenation of the aldehydes Aryland heteroaryl aldehydes substituted with various electronwithdrawing and donating groups and the presence of o-substituents do not seem to influence the rate of thereduction as revealed by the similarity of the results andall compounds afford corresponding alcohols in high yieldsSeveral other potential reducible groups like halogens nitroand so forth are not affected under the reaction conditionsAliphatic aldehydes are also reduced to corresponding alco-hols efficiently Interestingly aryl ketones are not reducedunder similar conditions The selectivity between aryl alde-hyde and aryl ketone might offer a distinct advantage whenboth the functional groups are present Thus an experimentwas conducted taking a mixture of an aryl aldehyde and anaryl ketone (1mmol each) at 85∘C to finally afford the reducedalcohol from the aryl aldehyde but the aryl ketone remainedunchanged and recovered almost quantitativelyWhereas arylketones are not reduced under the conditions reduction ofbenzil to benzoin proceeds smoothly in good to excellentyields Distinct advantages of cleaner reaction and easyisolation of the product are notable features when comparingthe application of heterogeneous ARF and a simple formatesalt (herein potassium formate) in homogeneous phase

414 Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) Using Coim-mobilized CatalystReagent It is well established that Pdpromotes direct oxidation of formic acid to carbon dioxide

[173] The combination of formic acid and palladium acetateis known to undergo anionic ligand exchange to form apalladium diformate complex eventually producing Pd(0)through decarboxylation and loss of molecular hydrogenThe high degree of chemoselectivity in palladium-catalyzedtransfer hydrogenation using HCOOH or its salts has beenexplained on the basis that the hydrogen is delivered directlyfrom a palladium formate species which has much strongerhydridic nature as compared to that of a palladium hydridespecies (Scheme 16)

In CTH either a source of palladium is required for eachoperation or it may be supported by a polymer frameworkand reused several times It is reasoned that the palladiumcatalyst might be anchored to the ARF so that it could be usedand recycled (Scheme 17) It is observed that palladium canbe immobilized onto the polyionic resins surface and usedefficiently in the CTH of a variety of functional groupsThusa new solid-phase entity (ARF-Pd) has been developed coim-mobilizing both the catalyst and the reagent and expected tobe potentially useful in CTH of different functional groups

The efficiency and stability of this newly developed ARF-Pd was first examined in the reduction of electron-deficientalkenes conjugated with ketones nitriles and carboxylateesters (Scheme 18) [188] Further applications of this new het-erogeneous reductive system are tested with 12-dicarbonylcompounds When benzil or substituted benzil is used as thesubstrate the reduction of one of the carbonyl groups withARF-Pd in DMF at 110∘C has been completed within 10ndash12 h to furnish the corresponding120572-hydroxyketone (benzoin)in a 77ndash88 yield Aromatic nitro compounds are alsoreduced using the coimmobilized palladium in DMF Thisnew technique is highly chemoselective in the reduction

42 CndashC Cross-Coupling Reactions Transition metal-cata-lyzed cross-coupling reactions constitute the central part ofcontemporary organic synthesis [189ndash192] In particular thepalladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond-forming processesrepresent the foremost in the arena of organic process devel-opment The Heck Suzuki-Miyaura Sonogashira reactions(Scheme 19) are excellent tools for carbon-carbon couplingreactions between aryl halides or triflates and suitable part-ners [193]

The coupling of terminal alkynes with an aryl or vinylhalide performed with a palladium catalyst a copper co-catalyst and an amine base is termed as the Sonogashiracoupling reaction [194ndash206] Typically the reaction requiresanhydrous and anaerobic conditions but the newer proce-dures which have been developed show that the restrictionsare not so important

Over the last decade commendable research has beendone to achieve significant developments and to estab-lish practical methodologies [207ndash210] Widespread uses ofpalladium-catalyzed coupling reactions are found in modernorganic synthesis because the resulting coupled products

often find good applications in the preparation of materialspharmaceuticals and other bioactive compounds [211ndash218]As a part of recognition of these extremely useful reactionsNobel prize was awarded to Heck Suzuki and Negishi[219] Many efforts have been reported to immobilize Pdusing a support encapsulating in a polymer or dendrimeror immobilization by ligandpolymer but the problem ofleaching and recyclability still exists [220ndash236]

421 Use of ARF-Pd in CndashC Cross-Coupling Reactions Excel-lent activity high selectivity and reusability of the ARF-Pdas potential reductive system have prompted to explore it asa viable heterogeneous Pd catalyst in various CndashC couplingreactions (Scheme 20) [237] One of the key questions onwhich the researchers have focused is ldquohow canminimizationof catalyst cost and catalyst contamination of the product bebest achievedrdquo It may be noted that the investigation of theheterogeneous ARF-Pd has addressed a great extent to thisquestion

The catalytic activity of ARF-Pdwas first examined inthe Heck coupling reactions and then for the Suzuki andSonogashira reactions as outlined in Scheme 20

Indeed the Heck coupling between 3-chloroiodobenzeneand ethyl cinnamate in the presence of the heterogeneous cat-alyst ARF-Pd the cross-coupled product trans-ethyl-3-chlo-rocinnamate has been isolated in 86 yield Exclusive trans-selectivity is achieved as is assigned on the basis of the cou-pling constant (119869 = 159Hz) Although several iodoarenesundergo Heck coupling with an alkene interestingly thebromoarenes remain unchanged which is typically seen forother halogens like chloro or fluoro groups attached withthe aromatic moiety The ortho-substituent did not cause anysteric inhibition as usually experienced in other couplingreaction which may be attributed to high activity of thecatalyst

palladiumThe Sonogashira coupling reaction normally requires 1ndash

10mol Pd(PPh3)2Cl2(or Pd(PPh

as the catalytic system Using the ARF-Pd the reaction of3-iodoanisole and 1-ethynyl-4-methylbenzene carried out inthe presence of Et

3Nas the base in acetonitrile solvent at 80∘C

for 6 h afforded the desired cross-coupled product in excellentyield (Scheme 20) Similar coupling reactions with otheriodoarenes and acetylenes are also found to be successful[237]

In all cases products are isolated in pure form simplyby filtering off the resin-bound palladium catalyst followedby chromatographic purification of the concentrated residueRecycling experiments are tested by taking Suzuki-Miyauracoupling between 14-dibromobenzene and phenylboronicacid The results have revealed that the catalyst is remarkably

active even in the fifth run Consecutive five runs were testedto evaluate the activity of ARF-Pd The palladium contentthroughout the recycling runs remained at a steady state withmarginal increase of Pd distribution on the resin surfacewhich might be due to repeated agitation of the beads duringthe reactions and exposing more surface area with palladiumcontent

422 Suzuki Coupling Using Solid-Phase ImmobilizedOrganoboron Species The concept of a resin-capture-releasetechnique generating the polymer-bound reactive specieshas been established as a potential method for severalorganic transformations [238ndash240] A variety of techniquesare reported in the literature to immobilize differentcomponents of Suzuki cross-coupling reaction [241ndash253]Polymer-bound boronic acids though reported as early as1976 [254] Frenette and Friesen [255] investigated theirutility in Suzuki coupling reaction in 1994

Further application of polyionic resin bound reagentsandor catalysts has been established when an ion-exchangeresin-supported organoborate species is derived as aheterogeneous phenylating agent [256] Thus Amberliteion-exchange resins (chloride form) are exchanged withtetraphenylborate anion (Ph

4Bminus) by continuous rinsing with

an aqueous solution of NaBPh4until the washings gave

negative response to chloride anion (monitored with AgNO3

solution followed by addition of aqueous ammonia) Thepolyionic resins with the tetraphenylborate counter anion(Ph4Bminus) have been used directly for the Suzuki coupling

reaction Initial studies on coupling with 3-iodotoluene inthe presence of palladium catalyst [Pd(OAc)

Na2CO3 1 equiv] afford the unsymmetrical biphenyl in

423 Organic Disulfide (SndashS Linkage) Synthesis Organicdisulfides (bearing SndashS linkage) are useful compounds ofwidespread occurrence possessing unique and diverse chem-istry in the synthetic biochemical and agrochemical areas[257ndash259] Disulfide-linked aggregates ubiquitously occurin proteins and many other bioactive molecules Disulfidebonds play an important role in the folding and stabilityof some proteins [260 261] Industrially disulfides find vastapplications as vulcanizing agents for rubbers and elastomerscontributing them considerable tensile strength [262 263]Apart from various solution-phase approaches for the syn-thesis of disulfide from thiols and other precursors thereare few reports on the synthesis of disulfides promoted bypolymeric resin hydroxides In a recent report Sengupta andBasu have shown that Amberlyst A-26(OH) can efficientlypromote smooth conversion of disulfides from alkyl and acyl

methyl thiocyanates in good to excellent yields (Scheme 22)They have also demonstrated that the use of polyionic resinhydroxide has resulted in much better results over otherhomogeneous bases like NaOH NH

5 Conclusion

Thus a series of reactions has been developed exhibitingthe potential of using both inorganic and organic polymericframeworks as the solid phaseThe present review has shownthat alumina silica surface alone or having doped with vari-ous inorganic salts could be utilized in carrying out differentorganic reactions under solvent-free conditions producingmolecules of biological and industrial importance Similarlypolyionic resins have been shown to immobilize reagentsandor catalysts and employ in transfer hydrogenation ofalkenes imines and nitroarenes and in different CndashC cross-coupling reaction Mild reaction conditions easy work-upprocedure selective synthesis of the target molecules andrecycling capability of the supported reagent or catalyst aresome of the advantages of adopting solid-phase organicreactions Further development of newer solid phases immo-bilization procedures resulting in regular dispersion andfinally their new applications are expected in the years tocome

Further attempts have been made to obtain general andefficient conditions for the S-acylation and S-alkylation reac-tions of several aromatic and aliphatic thiols with differentacid chlorides and activated alkyl halides respectively in thepresence of silica gel (Scheme 9) A smooth conversion wasobserved in each case affording the desired products in goodto excellent yields Moreover it was found that the recoveredsilica can be reused for seven consecutive runs without anyappreciable loss of activity [123]

34 Selective Synthesis of 12-Disubstituted BenzimidazolesFunctionalized benzimidazoles represent an important classof N-containing heterocyclic compounds and have receivedconsiderable attention in recent times because of their vastapplications as antiulcer antihypertensive antiviral antifun-gal anticancer and antihistamines among others and alsoact as ligands for complexation with transition metals whichare used for modeling biological systems [124ndash127] Severalsynthetic strategies have been developed for the preparationof functionalized benzimidazoles [128ndash140]

Synthetic methods for 12-disubstituted benzimidazoles3 often are associated with cooccurrence of several sidereactions and by-products as shown in Scheme 10

An efficient simple protocol has been developed forhighly selective synthesis of 12-disubstituted benzimidazole3 catalyzed by iron(III) sulfate supported on silica at ambienttemperature under solvent-free conditions (Scheme 11) [141]Silica-supported iron catalysts have been prepared and usedin affecting various organic reactions [142ndash148] Aldehydesbearing different functional groups as well as heteroarylaldehydes reacted smoothly with o-PDs leading to the for-mation of corresponding 12-disubstituted benzimidazoleswith complete selectivity and in good to excellent yields No

electronic or steric impact was found to be prominent in theselective formation of 3

Although the exact mechanism is not clear the Lewisacid-mediated mechanism is expected to play (Figure 2)Adsorption of iron(III) sulfate on the surface of silica isbelieved to make polynuclear iron(III) hydroxyl complexes 4[149] Silica being awater absorbent could facilitate formationof the bis-Schiff base 5 which has been reported and indeedwas isolated when the reaction was stopped after 20minThe Schiff base 5 may undergo cyclization followed by 13-hydride shift induced by electrophilic catalyst [150] resultingin the formation of the 12-disubstituted benzimidazole 3An indirect evidence in favour of 13-hydride shift of theSchiff base 5 isolated from o-phenylenediamine and salicy-laldehyde (6) showed reluctance to undergo cyclization atroom temperatureThis is possibly because of intramolecularHndashbonding with ondashOH group [151] making the nitrogenless nucleophilic and thus required higher temperature forthe cyclization (Scheme 12) The existence of intramolecularhydrogen bonding in the Schiff base (6) was also demon-strated by 1HndashNMR studies at varying concentrations of theSchiff base (6) [141]

4 Reactions on Organic Polymer Support

The polymeric supports used by Merrifield for his earlywork in solid-phase peptide synthesis were based on 2divinylbenzene (DVB) cross-linked polystyrenes (PS) PShas been found to be one of the most accepted polymericmaterial used in various synthesis because it is inexpensivereadily available mechanically robust chemically inert andsmoothly functionalizable [152 153] Crosslinking impartsmechanical stability improved diffusion and swelling proper-ties to the resin Various percentages and types of crosslinkingagents have been incorporated into the PS resins the mostcommon being DVB but other examples include ethyleneglycol dimethylacrylate (EGDMA) and tetraethylene glycoldiacrylate (TEGDA) to give different solvation properties[154 155] A schematic representation of polymerization ofstyrene with functionalized monomers is shown in Figure 3

TentaGel [156] and ArgoGel [157] (Figure 4) are twocommercially available examples where the incorporationof the PEG chains dramatically increases resin compatibilitywith polar solvents

Generally reagents and catalysts are immobilized ontopolymer surface involving (i) covalent binding (ii) entrap-ment where a preformed catalyst is enveloped within apolymer network and (iii) ion-pairing where cations oranions are bound to complementary resin sites [158] Immo-bilization of reagents and catalysts can also be done bymicroencapsulation [159] where the polymers are physicallyenveloped by thin films of reagents or catalysts and perhapsstabilized by the interaction between 120587 electrons of benzenerings of the polystyrene used as a polymer backbone andvacant orbital of reagents or catalysts [160]

41 Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) Using SupportedFormate Catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) with theaid of a stable hydrogen donor is a useful alternativemethod to catalytic hydrogenation usingmolecular hydrogen(H2) [161ndash166] In transfer hydrogenation several organic

molecules such as hydrocarbons primary and secondaryalcohols and formic acid and its salts have been employedas the hydrogen source [167ndash173] The use of reagents such ashydrazine is less frequent The use of a hydrogen donor hassome advantages over the use of molecular hydrogen since itavoids the risks and the constraints associated with hydrogengas as well as the necessity for using pressure vessels and otherequipment

411 Palladium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH)of Alkenes and Imines In connection with our interestin palladium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation (CTH) ofalkenes and imines using potassium formate [82] we wantedto develop a stable hydrogen donor anchored to a solidsurface to be used in CTH (Figure 5) In search of suitablepolymeric supports ion-exchange resins were used It wasobserved that Amberlite IRA-420 anion (chloride form)exchange resins commercially available and inexpensivepolyionic resin could exchange the anion with formate anion(HCOOminus) easily and quantitatively The resulting AmberliteResin Formate (anion) designated as ARF could be utilizedas a solid-phase version of theH-donor in Pd-catalyzed CTHThe ARF was air stable can be stored for several weeks andalso can be recovered from a reaction and reused Severalalkenes and iminewere thus hydrogenated using theARF andcatalytic amount of palladium acetate under mild conditions(Scheme 13) [174]

The reduction of the CndashC double bond proceededsmoothly at 70ndash75∘C requiring only gentle agitation work-up was then achieved by simple filtration extraction withdiethyl ether and followed by evaporation of the solvent Boththe cyano and ester groups remained unaffected under thereaction conditions The reduction of a dicyanoalkylidenederivative was found to occur with similar efficiency Themethod is operationally simple and applicable to a varietyof unsaturated organic compounds The use of a palladiumcatalyst exhibits some substrate selectivity and the transfer

412 Palladium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) ofNitroarenes With the success of reducing CndashC and CndashNbonds using the solid-supported formate as suitable H-donor[174] further attempts have been made in the reduction ofnitroarenes to anilines which is a synthetically importanttransformation both in the laboratory and in industry Formicacids and their salts are frequently employed as H-donor inCTH reactions and nitroarenes can be reduced to anilinesusing ammonium formate and Pd-C or Raney nickel [175ndash177] However reductive elimination of halogen substituentson the aromatic nucleus and formation of N-formyl deriva-tives instead of arylamines are the major drawbacks of usingammonium formatePd-C On the other hand combinationof NaBH

4with Cu(II) Co(II) or Rh(III) halides has been

used for reduction of the nitro group which is inert toNaBH4

itself [178 179] Metal hydrides are however water-sensitiveas well as expensive chemicals The reduction of nitro groupwas carried out using 2mol Pd(OAc)

polystyrene with formate anion (ARF) in a minimum quan-tity of DMF at 100ndash120∘C for 6ndash14 h (Scheme 14) [180]

413 Ruthenium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH)of Carbonyl Groups Reduction of carbonyl functionalityby transition metal-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation (CTH)with the aid of a suitable H-donor is a valuable synthetictool Generally reduction of aryl ketones is performedunder CTH using isopropyl alcohol as the H-donor [181ndash186] In order to check the efficiency of Amberlite ResinFormate (ARF) reduction of aryl ketones was studied usingthe combination of catalytic amount of Ru(III) salts and

the polyionic resin formateThe results constitute an efficientmethod for chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of arylaldehydes with the aid of resin-supported formate in thepresence of catalytic (25mol) amount of commerciallyavailable RuCl

3sdot3H2O in DMF or DMA solution as outlined

in Scheme 15 [187]On the basis of comparison with a well-defined Ru(II)

complex [Dichloro(p-cymene)ruthenium(II)] dimer (2mol) under similar conditions it is presumed that the Ru(III)salt might undergo in situ reduction to Ru(II) whichthen catalyzes the hydrogenation of the aldehydes Aryland heteroaryl aldehydes substituted with various electronwithdrawing and donating groups and the presence of o-substituents do not seem to influence the rate of thereduction as revealed by the similarity of the results andall compounds afford corresponding alcohols in high yieldsSeveral other potential reducible groups like halogens nitroand so forth are not affected under the reaction conditionsAliphatic aldehydes are also reduced to corresponding alco-hols efficiently Interestingly aryl ketones are not reducedunder similar conditions The selectivity between aryl alde-hyde and aryl ketone might offer a distinct advantage whenboth the functional groups are present Thus an experimentwas conducted taking a mixture of an aryl aldehyde and anaryl ketone (1mmol each) at 85∘C to finally afford the reducedalcohol from the aryl aldehyde but the aryl ketone remainedunchanged and recovered almost quantitativelyWhereas arylketones are not reduced under the conditions reduction ofbenzil to benzoin proceeds smoothly in good to excellentyields Distinct advantages of cleaner reaction and easyisolation of the product are notable features when comparingthe application of heterogeneous ARF and a simple formatesalt (herein potassium formate) in homogeneous phase

414 Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) Using Coim-mobilized CatalystReagent It is well established that Pdpromotes direct oxidation of formic acid to carbon dioxide

[173] The combination of formic acid and palladium acetateis known to undergo anionic ligand exchange to form apalladium diformate complex eventually producing Pd(0)through decarboxylation and loss of molecular hydrogenThe high degree of chemoselectivity in palladium-catalyzedtransfer hydrogenation using HCOOH or its salts has beenexplained on the basis that the hydrogen is delivered directlyfrom a palladium formate species which has much strongerhydridic nature as compared to that of a palladium hydridespecies (Scheme 16)

In CTH either a source of palladium is required for eachoperation or it may be supported by a polymer frameworkand reused several times It is reasoned that the palladiumcatalyst might be anchored to the ARF so that it could be usedand recycled (Scheme 17) It is observed that palladium canbe immobilized onto the polyionic resins surface and usedefficiently in the CTH of a variety of functional groupsThusa new solid-phase entity (ARF-Pd) has been developed coim-mobilizing both the catalyst and the reagent and expected tobe potentially useful in CTH of different functional groups

The efficiency and stability of this newly developed ARF-Pd was first examined in the reduction of electron-deficientalkenes conjugated with ketones nitriles and carboxylateesters (Scheme 18) [188] Further applications of this new het-erogeneous reductive system are tested with 12-dicarbonylcompounds When benzil or substituted benzil is used as thesubstrate the reduction of one of the carbonyl groups withARF-Pd in DMF at 110∘C has been completed within 10ndash12 h to furnish the corresponding120572-hydroxyketone (benzoin)in a 77ndash88 yield Aromatic nitro compounds are alsoreduced using the coimmobilized palladium in DMF Thisnew technique is highly chemoselective in the reduction

42 CndashC Cross-Coupling Reactions Transition metal-cata-lyzed cross-coupling reactions constitute the central part ofcontemporary organic synthesis [189ndash192] In particular thepalladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond-forming processesrepresent the foremost in the arena of organic process devel-opment The Heck Suzuki-Miyaura Sonogashira reactions(Scheme 19) are excellent tools for carbon-carbon couplingreactions between aryl halides or triflates and suitable part-ners [193]

The coupling of terminal alkynes with an aryl or vinylhalide performed with a palladium catalyst a copper co-catalyst and an amine base is termed as the Sonogashiracoupling reaction [194ndash206] Typically the reaction requiresanhydrous and anaerobic conditions but the newer proce-dures which have been developed show that the restrictionsare not so important

Over the last decade commendable research has beendone to achieve significant developments and to estab-lish practical methodologies [207ndash210] Widespread uses ofpalladium-catalyzed coupling reactions are found in modernorganic synthesis because the resulting coupled products

often find good applications in the preparation of materialspharmaceuticals and other bioactive compounds [211ndash218]As a part of recognition of these extremely useful reactionsNobel prize was awarded to Heck Suzuki and Negishi[219] Many efforts have been reported to immobilize Pdusing a support encapsulating in a polymer or dendrimeror immobilization by ligandpolymer but the problem ofleaching and recyclability still exists [220ndash236]

421 Use of ARF-Pd in CndashC Cross-Coupling Reactions Excel-lent activity high selectivity and reusability of the ARF-Pdas potential reductive system have prompted to explore it asa viable heterogeneous Pd catalyst in various CndashC couplingreactions (Scheme 20) [237] One of the key questions onwhich the researchers have focused is ldquohow canminimizationof catalyst cost and catalyst contamination of the product bebest achievedrdquo It may be noted that the investigation of theheterogeneous ARF-Pd has addressed a great extent to thisquestion

The catalytic activity of ARF-Pdwas first examined inthe Heck coupling reactions and then for the Suzuki andSonogashira reactions as outlined in Scheme 20

Indeed the Heck coupling between 3-chloroiodobenzeneand ethyl cinnamate in the presence of the heterogeneous cat-alyst ARF-Pd the cross-coupled product trans-ethyl-3-chlo-rocinnamate has been isolated in 86 yield Exclusive trans-selectivity is achieved as is assigned on the basis of the cou-pling constant (119869 = 159Hz) Although several iodoarenesundergo Heck coupling with an alkene interestingly thebromoarenes remain unchanged which is typically seen forother halogens like chloro or fluoro groups attached withthe aromatic moiety The ortho-substituent did not cause anysteric inhibition as usually experienced in other couplingreaction which may be attributed to high activity of thecatalyst

palladiumThe Sonogashira coupling reaction normally requires 1ndash

10mol Pd(PPh3)2Cl2(or Pd(PPh

as the catalytic system Using the ARF-Pd the reaction of3-iodoanisole and 1-ethynyl-4-methylbenzene carried out inthe presence of Et

3Nas the base in acetonitrile solvent at 80∘C

for 6 h afforded the desired cross-coupled product in excellentyield (Scheme 20) Similar coupling reactions with otheriodoarenes and acetylenes are also found to be successful[237]

In all cases products are isolated in pure form simplyby filtering off the resin-bound palladium catalyst followedby chromatographic purification of the concentrated residueRecycling experiments are tested by taking Suzuki-Miyauracoupling between 14-dibromobenzene and phenylboronicacid The results have revealed that the catalyst is remarkably

active even in the fifth run Consecutive five runs were testedto evaluate the activity of ARF-Pd The palladium contentthroughout the recycling runs remained at a steady state withmarginal increase of Pd distribution on the resin surfacewhich might be due to repeated agitation of the beads duringthe reactions and exposing more surface area with palladiumcontent

422 Suzuki Coupling Using Solid-Phase ImmobilizedOrganoboron Species The concept of a resin-capture-releasetechnique generating the polymer-bound reactive specieshas been established as a potential method for severalorganic transformations [238ndash240] A variety of techniquesare reported in the literature to immobilize differentcomponents of Suzuki cross-coupling reaction [241ndash253]Polymer-bound boronic acids though reported as early as1976 [254] Frenette and Friesen [255] investigated theirutility in Suzuki coupling reaction in 1994

Further application of polyionic resin bound reagentsandor catalysts has been established when an ion-exchangeresin-supported organoborate species is derived as aheterogeneous phenylating agent [256] Thus Amberliteion-exchange resins (chloride form) are exchanged withtetraphenylborate anion (Ph

4Bminus) by continuous rinsing with

an aqueous solution of NaBPh4until the washings gave

negative response to chloride anion (monitored with AgNO3

solution followed by addition of aqueous ammonia) Thepolyionic resins with the tetraphenylborate counter anion(Ph4Bminus) have been used directly for the Suzuki coupling

reaction Initial studies on coupling with 3-iodotoluene inthe presence of palladium catalyst [Pd(OAc)

Na2CO3 1 equiv] afford the unsymmetrical biphenyl in

423 Organic Disulfide (SndashS Linkage) Synthesis Organicdisulfides (bearing SndashS linkage) are useful compounds ofwidespread occurrence possessing unique and diverse chem-istry in the synthetic biochemical and agrochemical areas[257ndash259] Disulfide-linked aggregates ubiquitously occurin proteins and many other bioactive molecules Disulfidebonds play an important role in the folding and stabilityof some proteins [260 261] Industrially disulfides find vastapplications as vulcanizing agents for rubbers and elastomerscontributing them considerable tensile strength [262 263]Apart from various solution-phase approaches for the syn-thesis of disulfide from thiols and other precursors thereare few reports on the synthesis of disulfides promoted bypolymeric resin hydroxides In a recent report Sengupta andBasu have shown that Amberlyst A-26(OH) can efficientlypromote smooth conversion of disulfides from alkyl and acyl

methyl thiocyanates in good to excellent yields (Scheme 22)They have also demonstrated that the use of polyionic resinhydroxide has resulted in much better results over otherhomogeneous bases like NaOH NH

5 Conclusion

Thus a series of reactions has been developed exhibitingthe potential of using both inorganic and organic polymericframeworks as the solid phaseThe present review has shownthat alumina silica surface alone or having doped with vari-ous inorganic salts could be utilized in carrying out differentorganic reactions under solvent-free conditions producingmolecules of biological and industrial importance Similarlypolyionic resins have been shown to immobilize reagentsandor catalysts and employ in transfer hydrogenation ofalkenes imines and nitroarenes and in different CndashC cross-coupling reaction Mild reaction conditions easy work-upprocedure selective synthesis of the target molecules andrecycling capability of the supported reagent or catalyst aresome of the advantages of adopting solid-phase organicreactions Further development of newer solid phases immo-bilization procedures resulting in regular dispersion andfinally their new applications are expected in the years tocome

Generally reagents and catalysts are immobilized ontopolymer surface involving (i) covalent binding (ii) entrap-ment where a preformed catalyst is enveloped within apolymer network and (iii) ion-pairing where cations oranions are bound to complementary resin sites [158] Immo-bilization of reagents and catalysts can also be done bymicroencapsulation [159] where the polymers are physicallyenveloped by thin films of reagents or catalysts and perhapsstabilized by the interaction between 120587 electrons of benzenerings of the polystyrene used as a polymer backbone andvacant orbital of reagents or catalysts [160]

41 Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) Using SupportedFormate Catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) with theaid of a stable hydrogen donor is a useful alternativemethod to catalytic hydrogenation usingmolecular hydrogen(H2) [161ndash166] In transfer hydrogenation several organic

molecules such as hydrocarbons primary and secondaryalcohols and formic acid and its salts have been employedas the hydrogen source [167ndash173] The use of reagents such ashydrazine is less frequent The use of a hydrogen donor hassome advantages over the use of molecular hydrogen since itavoids the risks and the constraints associated with hydrogengas as well as the necessity for using pressure vessels and otherequipment

411 Palladium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH)of Alkenes and Imines In connection with our interestin palladium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation (CTH) ofalkenes and imines using potassium formate [82] we wantedto develop a stable hydrogen donor anchored to a solidsurface to be used in CTH (Figure 5) In search of suitablepolymeric supports ion-exchange resins were used It wasobserved that Amberlite IRA-420 anion (chloride form)exchange resins commercially available and inexpensivepolyionic resin could exchange the anion with formate anion(HCOOminus) easily and quantitatively The resulting AmberliteResin Formate (anion) designated as ARF could be utilizedas a solid-phase version of theH-donor in Pd-catalyzed CTHThe ARF was air stable can be stored for several weeks andalso can be recovered from a reaction and reused Severalalkenes and iminewere thus hydrogenated using theARF andcatalytic amount of palladium acetate under mild conditions(Scheme 13) [174]

The reduction of the CndashC double bond proceededsmoothly at 70ndash75∘C requiring only gentle agitation work-up was then achieved by simple filtration extraction withdiethyl ether and followed by evaporation of the solvent Boththe cyano and ester groups remained unaffected under thereaction conditions The reduction of a dicyanoalkylidenederivative was found to occur with similar efficiency Themethod is operationally simple and applicable to a varietyof unsaturated organic compounds The use of a palladiumcatalyst exhibits some substrate selectivity and the transfer

412 Palladium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) ofNitroarenes With the success of reducing CndashC and CndashNbonds using the solid-supported formate as suitable H-donor[174] further attempts have been made in the reduction ofnitroarenes to anilines which is a synthetically importanttransformation both in the laboratory and in industry Formicacids and their salts are frequently employed as H-donor inCTH reactions and nitroarenes can be reduced to anilinesusing ammonium formate and Pd-C or Raney nickel [175ndash177] However reductive elimination of halogen substituentson the aromatic nucleus and formation of N-formyl deriva-tives instead of arylamines are the major drawbacks of usingammonium formatePd-C On the other hand combinationof NaBH

4with Cu(II) Co(II) or Rh(III) halides has been

used for reduction of the nitro group which is inert toNaBH4

itself [178 179] Metal hydrides are however water-sensitiveas well as expensive chemicals The reduction of nitro groupwas carried out using 2mol Pd(OAc)

413 Ruthenium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH)of Carbonyl Groups Reduction of carbonyl functionalityby transition metal-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation (CTH)with the aid of a suitable H-donor is a valuable synthetictool Generally reduction of aryl ketones is performedunder CTH using isopropyl alcohol as the H-donor [181ndash186] In order to check the efficiency of Amberlite ResinFormate (ARF) reduction of aryl ketones was studied usingthe combination of catalytic amount of Ru(III) salts and

the polyionic resin formateThe results constitute an efficientmethod for chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of arylaldehydes with the aid of resin-supported formate in thepresence of catalytic (25mol) amount of commerciallyavailable RuCl

3sdot3H2O in DMF or DMA solution as outlined

in Scheme 15 [187]On the basis of comparison with a well-defined Ru(II)

complex [Dichloro(p-cymene)ruthenium(II)] dimer (2mol) under similar conditions it is presumed that the Ru(III)salt might undergo in situ reduction to Ru(II) whichthen catalyzes the hydrogenation of the aldehydes Aryland heteroaryl aldehydes substituted with various electronwithdrawing and donating groups and the presence of o-substituents do not seem to influence the rate of thereduction as revealed by the similarity of the results andall compounds afford corresponding alcohols in high yieldsSeveral other potential reducible groups like halogens nitroand so forth are not affected under the reaction conditionsAliphatic aldehydes are also reduced to corresponding alco-hols efficiently Interestingly aryl ketones are not reducedunder similar conditions The selectivity between aryl alde-hyde and aryl ketone might offer a distinct advantage whenboth the functional groups are present Thus an experimentwas conducted taking a mixture of an aryl aldehyde and anaryl ketone (1mmol each) at 85∘C to finally afford the reducedalcohol from the aryl aldehyde but the aryl ketone remainedunchanged and recovered almost quantitativelyWhereas arylketones are not reduced under the conditions reduction ofbenzil to benzoin proceeds smoothly in good to excellentyields Distinct advantages of cleaner reaction and easyisolation of the product are notable features when comparingthe application of heterogeneous ARF and a simple formatesalt (herein potassium formate) in homogeneous phase

414 Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) Using Coim-mobilized CatalystReagent It is well established that Pdpromotes direct oxidation of formic acid to carbon dioxide

[173] The combination of formic acid and palladium acetateis known to undergo anionic ligand exchange to form apalladium diformate complex eventually producing Pd(0)through decarboxylation and loss of molecular hydrogenThe high degree of chemoselectivity in palladium-catalyzedtransfer hydrogenation using HCOOH or its salts has beenexplained on the basis that the hydrogen is delivered directlyfrom a palladium formate species which has much strongerhydridic nature as compared to that of a palladium hydridespecies (Scheme 16)

In CTH either a source of palladium is required for eachoperation or it may be supported by a polymer frameworkand reused several times It is reasoned that the palladiumcatalyst might be anchored to the ARF so that it could be usedand recycled (Scheme 17) It is observed that palladium canbe immobilized onto the polyionic resins surface and usedefficiently in the CTH of a variety of functional groupsThusa new solid-phase entity (ARF-Pd) has been developed coim-mobilizing both the catalyst and the reagent and expected tobe potentially useful in CTH of different functional groups

The efficiency and stability of this newly developed ARF-Pd was first examined in the reduction of electron-deficientalkenes conjugated with ketones nitriles and carboxylateesters (Scheme 18) [188] Further applications of this new het-erogeneous reductive system are tested with 12-dicarbonylcompounds When benzil or substituted benzil is used as thesubstrate the reduction of one of the carbonyl groups withARF-Pd in DMF at 110∘C has been completed within 10ndash12 h to furnish the corresponding120572-hydroxyketone (benzoin)in a 77ndash88 yield Aromatic nitro compounds are alsoreduced using the coimmobilized palladium in DMF Thisnew technique is highly chemoselective in the reduction

42 CndashC Cross-Coupling Reactions Transition metal-cata-lyzed cross-coupling reactions constitute the central part ofcontemporary organic synthesis [189ndash192] In particular thepalladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond-forming processesrepresent the foremost in the arena of organic process devel-opment The Heck Suzuki-Miyaura Sonogashira reactions(Scheme 19) are excellent tools for carbon-carbon couplingreactions between aryl halides or triflates and suitable part-ners [193]

The coupling of terminal alkynes with an aryl or vinylhalide performed with a palladium catalyst a copper co-catalyst and an amine base is termed as the Sonogashiracoupling reaction [194ndash206] Typically the reaction requiresanhydrous and anaerobic conditions but the newer proce-dures which have been developed show that the restrictionsare not so important

Over the last decade commendable research has beendone to achieve significant developments and to estab-lish practical methodologies [207ndash210] Widespread uses ofpalladium-catalyzed coupling reactions are found in modernorganic synthesis because the resulting coupled products

often find good applications in the preparation of materialspharmaceuticals and other bioactive compounds [211ndash218]As a part of recognition of these extremely useful reactionsNobel prize was awarded to Heck Suzuki and Negishi[219] Many efforts have been reported to immobilize Pdusing a support encapsulating in a polymer or dendrimeror immobilization by ligandpolymer but the problem ofleaching and recyclability still exists [220ndash236]

421 Use of ARF-Pd in CndashC Cross-Coupling Reactions Excel-lent activity high selectivity and reusability of the ARF-Pdas potential reductive system have prompted to explore it asa viable heterogeneous Pd catalyst in various CndashC couplingreactions (Scheme 20) [237] One of the key questions onwhich the researchers have focused is ldquohow canminimizationof catalyst cost and catalyst contamination of the product bebest achievedrdquo It may be noted that the investigation of theheterogeneous ARF-Pd has addressed a great extent to thisquestion

The catalytic activity of ARF-Pdwas first examined inthe Heck coupling reactions and then for the Suzuki andSonogashira reactions as outlined in Scheme 20

Indeed the Heck coupling between 3-chloroiodobenzeneand ethyl cinnamate in the presence of the heterogeneous cat-alyst ARF-Pd the cross-coupled product trans-ethyl-3-chlo-rocinnamate has been isolated in 86 yield Exclusive trans-selectivity is achieved as is assigned on the basis of the cou-pling constant (119869 = 159Hz) Although several iodoarenesundergo Heck coupling with an alkene interestingly thebromoarenes remain unchanged which is typically seen forother halogens like chloro or fluoro groups attached withthe aromatic moiety The ortho-substituent did not cause anysteric inhibition as usually experienced in other couplingreaction which may be attributed to high activity of thecatalyst

2as the source of

palladiumThe Sonogashira coupling reaction normally requires 1ndash

10mol Pd(PPh3)2Cl2(or Pd(PPh

3)4) and copper(I) iodide

as the catalytic system Using the ARF-Pd the reaction of3-iodoanisole and 1-ethynyl-4-methylbenzene carried out inthe presence of Et

3Nas the base in acetonitrile solvent at 80∘C

for 6 h afforded the desired cross-coupled product in excellentyield (Scheme 20) Similar coupling reactions with otheriodoarenes and acetylenes are also found to be successful[237]

In all cases products are isolated in pure form simplyby filtering off the resin-bound palladium catalyst followedby chromatographic purification of the concentrated residueRecycling experiments are tested by taking Suzuki-Miyauracoupling between 14-dibromobenzene and phenylboronicacid The results have revealed that the catalyst is remarkably

active even in the fifth run Consecutive five runs were testedto evaluate the activity of ARF-Pd The palladium contentthroughout the recycling runs remained at a steady state withmarginal increase of Pd distribution on the resin surfacewhich might be due to repeated agitation of the beads duringthe reactions and exposing more surface area with palladiumcontent

422 Suzuki Coupling Using Solid-Phase ImmobilizedOrganoboron Species The concept of a resin-capture-releasetechnique generating the polymer-bound reactive specieshas been established as a potential method for severalorganic transformations [238ndash240] A variety of techniquesare reported in the literature to immobilize differentcomponents of Suzuki cross-coupling reaction [241ndash253]Polymer-bound boronic acids though reported as early as1976 [254] Frenette and Friesen [255] investigated theirutility in Suzuki coupling reaction in 1994

Further application of polyionic resin bound reagentsandor catalysts has been established when an ion-exchangeresin-supported organoborate species is derived as aheterogeneous phenylating agent [256] Thus Amberliteion-exchange resins (chloride form) are exchanged withtetraphenylborate anion (Ph

4Bminus) by continuous rinsing with

an aqueous solution of NaBPh4until the washings gave

negative response to chloride anion (monitored with AgNO3

solution followed by addition of aqueous ammonia) Thepolyionic resins with the tetraphenylborate counter anion(Ph4Bminus) have been used directly for the Suzuki coupling

reaction Initial studies on coupling with 3-iodotoluene inthe presence of palladium catalyst [Pd(OAc)

2 2mol and

Na2CO3 1 equiv] afford the unsymmetrical biphenyl in

90 yield (Scheme 21 condition (a)) Similar coupling of 3-iodotoluene and NaBPh

4in the presence of Na

only 43 yield of the coupled product (Scheme 21 condition(b)) However on increasing the quantity of NaBPh

resulting coupled product could be isolated in 88 yield

423 Organic Disulfide (SndashS Linkage) Synthesis Organicdisulfides (bearing SndashS linkage) are useful compounds ofwidespread occurrence possessing unique and diverse chem-istry in the synthetic biochemical and agrochemical areas[257ndash259] Disulfide-linked aggregates ubiquitously occurin proteins and many other bioactive molecules Disulfidebonds play an important role in the folding and stabilityof some proteins [260 261] Industrially disulfides find vastapplications as vulcanizing agents for rubbers and elastomerscontributing them considerable tensile strength [262 263]Apart from various solution-phase approaches for the syn-thesis of disulfide from thiols and other precursors thereare few reports on the synthesis of disulfides promoted bypolymeric resin hydroxides In a recent report Sengupta andBasu have shown that Amberlyst A-26(OH) can efficientlypromote smooth conversion of disulfides from alkyl and acyl

methyl thiocyanates in good to excellent yields (Scheme 22)They have also demonstrated that the use of polyionic resinhydroxide has resulted in much better results over otherhomogeneous bases like NaOH NH

5 Conclusion

Thus a series of reactions has been developed exhibitingthe potential of using both inorganic and organic polymericframeworks as the solid phaseThe present review has shownthat alumina silica surface alone or having doped with vari-ous inorganic salts could be utilized in carrying out differentorganic reactions under solvent-free conditions producingmolecules of biological and industrial importance Similarlypolyionic resins have been shown to immobilize reagentsandor catalysts and employ in transfer hydrogenation ofalkenes imines and nitroarenes and in different CndashC cross-coupling reaction Mild reaction conditions easy work-upprocedure selective synthesis of the target molecules andrecycling capability of the supported reagent or catalyst aresome of the advantages of adopting solid-phase organicreactions Further development of newer solid phases immo-bilization procedures resulting in regular dispersion andfinally their new applications are expected in the years tocome

412 Palladium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) ofNitroarenes With the success of reducing CndashC and CndashNbonds using the solid-supported formate as suitable H-donor[174] further attempts have been made in the reduction ofnitroarenes to anilines which is a synthetically importanttransformation both in the laboratory and in industry Formicacids and their salts are frequently employed as H-donor inCTH reactions and nitroarenes can be reduced to anilinesusing ammonium formate and Pd-C or Raney nickel [175ndash177] However reductive elimination of halogen substituentson the aromatic nucleus and formation of N-formyl deriva-tives instead of arylamines are the major drawbacks of usingammonium formatePd-C On the other hand combinationof NaBH

4with Cu(II) Co(II) or Rh(III) halides has been

used for reduction of the nitro group which is inert toNaBH4

itself [178 179] Metal hydrides are however water-sensitiveas well as expensive chemicals The reduction of nitro groupwas carried out using 2mol Pd(OAc)

2and (aminomethyl)

polystyrene with formate anion (ARF) in a minimum quan-tity of DMF at 100ndash120∘C for 6ndash14 h (Scheme 14) [180]

413 Ruthenium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH)of Carbonyl Groups Reduction of carbonyl functionalityby transition metal-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation (CTH)with the aid of a suitable H-donor is a valuable synthetictool Generally reduction of aryl ketones is performedunder CTH using isopropyl alcohol as the H-donor [181ndash186] In order to check the efficiency of Amberlite ResinFormate (ARF) reduction of aryl ketones was studied usingthe combination of catalytic amount of Ru(III) salts and

the polyionic resin formateThe results constitute an efficientmethod for chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of arylaldehydes with the aid of resin-supported formate in thepresence of catalytic (25mol) amount of commerciallyavailable RuCl

3sdot3H2O in DMF or DMA solution as outlined

in Scheme 15 [187]On the basis of comparison with a well-defined Ru(II)

complex [Dichloro(p-cymene)ruthenium(II)] dimer (2mol) under similar conditions it is presumed that the Ru(III)salt might undergo in situ reduction to Ru(II) whichthen catalyzes the hydrogenation of the aldehydes Aryland heteroaryl aldehydes substituted with various electronwithdrawing and donating groups and the presence of o-substituents do not seem to influence the rate of thereduction as revealed by the similarity of the results andall compounds afford corresponding alcohols in high yieldsSeveral other potential reducible groups like halogens nitroand so forth are not affected under the reaction conditionsAliphatic aldehydes are also reduced to corresponding alco-hols efficiently Interestingly aryl ketones are not reducedunder similar conditions The selectivity between aryl alde-hyde and aryl ketone might offer a distinct advantage whenboth the functional groups are present Thus an experimentwas conducted taking a mixture of an aryl aldehyde and anaryl ketone (1mmol each) at 85∘C to finally afford the reducedalcohol from the aryl aldehyde but the aryl ketone remainedunchanged and recovered almost quantitativelyWhereas arylketones are not reduced under the conditions reduction ofbenzil to benzoin proceeds smoothly in good to excellentyields Distinct advantages of cleaner reaction and easyisolation of the product are notable features when comparingthe application of heterogeneous ARF and a simple formatesalt (herein potassium formate) in homogeneous phase

414 Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) Using Coim-mobilized CatalystReagent It is well established that Pdpromotes direct oxidation of formic acid to carbon dioxide

[173] The combination of formic acid and palladium acetateis known to undergo anionic ligand exchange to form apalladium diformate complex eventually producing Pd(0)through decarboxylation and loss of molecular hydrogenThe high degree of chemoselectivity in palladium-catalyzedtransfer hydrogenation using HCOOH or its salts has beenexplained on the basis that the hydrogen is delivered directlyfrom a palladium formate species which has much strongerhydridic nature as compared to that of a palladium hydridespecies (Scheme 16)

In CTH either a source of palladium is required for eachoperation or it may be supported by a polymer frameworkand reused several times It is reasoned that the palladiumcatalyst might be anchored to the ARF so that it could be usedand recycled (Scheme 17) It is observed that palladium canbe immobilized onto the polyionic resins surface and usedefficiently in the CTH of a variety of functional groupsThusa new solid-phase entity (ARF-Pd) has been developed coim-mobilizing both the catalyst and the reagent and expected tobe potentially useful in CTH of different functional groups

The efficiency and stability of this newly developed ARF-Pd was first examined in the reduction of electron-deficientalkenes conjugated with ketones nitriles and carboxylateesters (Scheme 18) [188] Further applications of this new het-erogeneous reductive system are tested with 12-dicarbonylcompounds When benzil or substituted benzil is used as thesubstrate the reduction of one of the carbonyl groups withARF-Pd in DMF at 110∘C has been completed within 10ndash12 h to furnish the corresponding120572-hydroxyketone (benzoin)in a 77ndash88 yield Aromatic nitro compounds are alsoreduced using the coimmobilized palladium in DMF Thisnew technique is highly chemoselective in the reduction

42 CndashC Cross-Coupling Reactions Transition metal-cata-lyzed cross-coupling reactions constitute the central part ofcontemporary organic synthesis [189ndash192] In particular thepalladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond-forming processesrepresent the foremost in the arena of organic process devel-opment The Heck Suzuki-Miyaura Sonogashira reactions(Scheme 19) are excellent tools for carbon-carbon couplingreactions between aryl halides or triflates and suitable part-ners [193]

The coupling of terminal alkynes with an aryl or vinylhalide performed with a palladium catalyst a copper co-catalyst and an amine base is termed as the Sonogashiracoupling reaction [194ndash206] Typically the reaction requiresanhydrous and anaerobic conditions but the newer proce-dures which have been developed show that the restrictionsare not so important

Over the last decade commendable research has beendone to achieve significant developments and to estab-lish practical methodologies [207ndash210] Widespread uses ofpalladium-catalyzed coupling reactions are found in modernorganic synthesis because the resulting coupled products

often find good applications in the preparation of materialspharmaceuticals and other bioactive compounds [211ndash218]As a part of recognition of these extremely useful reactionsNobel prize was awarded to Heck Suzuki and Negishi[219] Many efforts have been reported to immobilize Pdusing a support encapsulating in a polymer or dendrimeror immobilization by ligandpolymer but the problem ofleaching and recyclability still exists [220ndash236]

421 Use of ARF-Pd in CndashC Cross-Coupling Reactions Excel-lent activity high selectivity and reusability of the ARF-Pdas potential reductive system have prompted to explore it asa viable heterogeneous Pd catalyst in various CndashC couplingreactions (Scheme 20) [237] One of the key questions onwhich the researchers have focused is ldquohow canminimizationof catalyst cost and catalyst contamination of the product bebest achievedrdquo It may be noted that the investigation of theheterogeneous ARF-Pd has addressed a great extent to thisquestion

The catalytic activity of ARF-Pdwas first examined inthe Heck coupling reactions and then for the Suzuki andSonogashira reactions as outlined in Scheme 20

Indeed the Heck coupling between 3-chloroiodobenzeneand ethyl cinnamate in the presence of the heterogeneous cat-alyst ARF-Pd the cross-coupled product trans-ethyl-3-chlo-rocinnamate has been isolated in 86 yield Exclusive trans-selectivity is achieved as is assigned on the basis of the cou-pling constant (119869 = 159Hz) Although several iodoarenesundergo Heck coupling with an alkene interestingly thebromoarenes remain unchanged which is typically seen forother halogens like chloro or fluoro groups attached withthe aromatic moiety The ortho-substituent did not cause anysteric inhibition as usually experienced in other couplingreaction which may be attributed to high activity of thecatalyst

The Suzuki-Miyaura reaction (Scheme 20) has beencarried out using 4-bromo-2-methyl anisole phenyl boronicacidNa

the residual mixture furnished the desired unsymmetricalbiphenyl in 82 yield Both bis- and tris-coupled aryl ben-zenes have also been prepared in good to excellent yieldswhen reactions are performed using di- and tribromoarenesrespectively showing notable activity of the heterogeneouspalladium catalysts (ARF-Pd) It may be noted that ortho-dibromobenzene affords a mixture of mono- and biscoupledproducts in the presence of Pd(OAc)

2as the source of

palladiumThe Sonogashira coupling reaction normally requires 1ndash

10mol Pd(PPh3)2Cl2(or Pd(PPh

3)4) and copper(I) iodide

as the catalytic system Using the ARF-Pd the reaction of3-iodoanisole and 1-ethynyl-4-methylbenzene carried out inthe presence of Et

3Nas the base in acetonitrile solvent at 80∘C

for 6 h afforded the desired cross-coupled product in excellentyield (Scheme 20) Similar coupling reactions with otheriodoarenes and acetylenes are also found to be successful[237]

In all cases products are isolated in pure form simplyby filtering off the resin-bound palladium catalyst followedby chromatographic purification of the concentrated residueRecycling experiments are tested by taking Suzuki-Miyauracoupling between 14-dibromobenzene and phenylboronicacid The results have revealed that the catalyst is remarkably

active even in the fifth run Consecutive five runs were testedto evaluate the activity of ARF-Pd The palladium contentthroughout the recycling runs remained at a steady state withmarginal increase of Pd distribution on the resin surfacewhich might be due to repeated agitation of the beads duringthe reactions and exposing more surface area with palladiumcontent

422 Suzuki Coupling Using Solid-Phase ImmobilizedOrganoboron Species The concept of a resin-capture-releasetechnique generating the polymer-bound reactive specieshas been established as a potential method for severalorganic transformations [238ndash240] A variety of techniquesare reported in the literature to immobilize differentcomponents of Suzuki cross-coupling reaction [241ndash253]Polymer-bound boronic acids though reported as early as1976 [254] Frenette and Friesen [255] investigated theirutility in Suzuki coupling reaction in 1994

Further application of polyionic resin bound reagentsandor catalysts has been established when an ion-exchangeresin-supported organoborate species is derived as aheterogeneous phenylating agent [256] Thus Amberliteion-exchange resins (chloride form) are exchanged withtetraphenylborate anion (Ph

4Bminus) by continuous rinsing with

an aqueous solution of NaBPh4until the washings gave

negative response to chloride anion (monitored with AgNO3

solution followed by addition of aqueous ammonia) Thepolyionic resins with the tetraphenylborate counter anion(Ph4Bminus) have been used directly for the Suzuki coupling

reaction Initial studies on coupling with 3-iodotoluene inthe presence of palladium catalyst [Pd(OAc)

2 2mol and

Na2CO3 1 equiv] afford the unsymmetrical biphenyl in

90 yield (Scheme 21 condition (a)) Similar coupling of 3-iodotoluene and NaBPh

4in the presence of Na

2CO3afforded

only 43 yield of the coupled product (Scheme 21 condition(b)) However on increasing the quantity of NaBPh

resulting coupled product could be isolated in 88 yield

(Scheme 21 condition (c)) An interesting observation isthat the yield of the coupled product is not influenced by theabsence of base (Scheme 21 conditions (d) and (e)) Suchbase-free conditions for SM reactions could offer significantpractical advantages and have not previously been reportedwith the organoborate ion bound with solid-phase polymericframeworks

423 Organic Disulfide (SndashS Linkage) Synthesis Organicdisulfides (bearing SndashS linkage) are useful compounds ofwidespread occurrence possessing unique and diverse chem-istry in the synthetic biochemical and agrochemical areas[257ndash259] Disulfide-linked aggregates ubiquitously occurin proteins and many other bioactive molecules Disulfidebonds play an important role in the folding and stabilityof some proteins [260 261] Industrially disulfides find vastapplications as vulcanizing agents for rubbers and elastomerscontributing them considerable tensile strength [262 263]Apart from various solution-phase approaches for the syn-thesis of disulfide from thiols and other precursors thereare few reports on the synthesis of disulfides promoted bypolymeric resin hydroxides In a recent report Sengupta andBasu have shown that Amberlyst A-26(OH) can efficientlypromote smooth conversion of disulfides from alkyl and acyl

methyl thiocyanates in good to excellent yields (Scheme 22)They have also demonstrated that the use of polyionic resinhydroxide has resulted in much better results over otherhomogeneous bases like NaOH NH

5 Conclusion

Thus a series of reactions has been developed exhibitingthe potential of using both inorganic and organic polymericframeworks as the solid phaseThe present review has shownthat alumina silica surface alone or having doped with vari-ous inorganic salts could be utilized in carrying out differentorganic reactions under solvent-free conditions producingmolecules of biological and industrial importance Similarlypolyionic resins have been shown to immobilize reagentsandor catalysts and employ in transfer hydrogenation ofalkenes imines and nitroarenes and in different CndashC cross-coupling reaction Mild reaction conditions easy work-upprocedure selective synthesis of the target molecules andrecycling capability of the supported reagent or catalyst aresome of the advantages of adopting solid-phase organicreactions Further development of newer solid phases immo-bilization procedures resulting in regular dispersion andfinally their new applications are expected in the years tocome

414 Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) Using Coim-mobilized CatalystReagent It is well established that Pdpromotes direct oxidation of formic acid to carbon dioxide

[173] The combination of formic acid and palladium acetateis known to undergo anionic ligand exchange to form apalladium diformate complex eventually producing Pd(0)through decarboxylation and loss of molecular hydrogenThe high degree of chemoselectivity in palladium-catalyzedtransfer hydrogenation using HCOOH or its salts has beenexplained on the basis that the hydrogen is delivered directlyfrom a palladium formate species which has much strongerhydridic nature as compared to that of a palladium hydridespecies (Scheme 16)

In CTH either a source of palladium is required for eachoperation or it may be supported by a polymer frameworkand reused several times It is reasoned that the palladiumcatalyst might be anchored to the ARF so that it could be usedand recycled (Scheme 17) It is observed that palladium canbe immobilized onto the polyionic resins surface and usedefficiently in the CTH of a variety of functional groupsThusa new solid-phase entity (ARF-Pd) has been developed coim-mobilizing both the catalyst and the reagent and expected tobe potentially useful in CTH of different functional groups

The efficiency and stability of this newly developed ARF-Pd was first examined in the reduction of electron-deficientalkenes conjugated with ketones nitriles and carboxylateesters (Scheme 18) [188] Further applications of this new het-erogeneous reductive system are tested with 12-dicarbonylcompounds When benzil or substituted benzil is used as thesubstrate the reduction of one of the carbonyl groups withARF-Pd in DMF at 110∘C has been completed within 10ndash12 h to furnish the corresponding120572-hydroxyketone (benzoin)in a 77ndash88 yield Aromatic nitro compounds are alsoreduced using the coimmobilized palladium in DMF Thisnew technique is highly chemoselective in the reduction

42 CndashC Cross-Coupling Reactions Transition metal-cata-lyzed cross-coupling reactions constitute the central part ofcontemporary organic synthesis [189ndash192] In particular thepalladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond-forming processesrepresent the foremost in the arena of organic process devel-opment The Heck Suzuki-Miyaura Sonogashira reactions(Scheme 19) are excellent tools for carbon-carbon couplingreactions between aryl halides or triflates and suitable part-ners [193]

The coupling of terminal alkynes with an aryl or vinylhalide performed with a palladium catalyst a copper co-catalyst and an amine base is termed as the Sonogashiracoupling reaction [194ndash206] Typically the reaction requiresanhydrous and anaerobic conditions but the newer proce-dures which have been developed show that the restrictionsare not so important

Over the last decade commendable research has beendone to achieve significant developments and to estab-lish practical methodologies [207ndash210] Widespread uses ofpalladium-catalyzed coupling reactions are found in modernorganic synthesis because the resulting coupled products

often find good applications in the preparation of materialspharmaceuticals and other bioactive compounds [211ndash218]As a part of recognition of these extremely useful reactionsNobel prize was awarded to Heck Suzuki and Negishi[219] Many efforts have been reported to immobilize Pdusing a support encapsulating in a polymer or dendrimeror immobilization by ligandpolymer but the problem ofleaching and recyclability still exists [220ndash236]

421 Use of ARF-Pd in CndashC Cross-Coupling Reactions Excel-lent activity high selectivity and reusability of the ARF-Pdas potential reductive system have prompted to explore it asa viable heterogeneous Pd catalyst in various CndashC couplingreactions (Scheme 20) [237] One of the key questions onwhich the researchers have focused is ldquohow canminimizationof catalyst cost and catalyst contamination of the product bebest achievedrdquo It may be noted that the investigation of theheterogeneous ARF-Pd has addressed a great extent to thisquestion

The catalytic activity of ARF-Pdwas first examined inthe Heck coupling reactions and then for the Suzuki andSonogashira reactions as outlined in Scheme 20

Indeed the Heck coupling between 3-chloroiodobenzeneand ethyl cinnamate in the presence of the heterogeneous cat-alyst ARF-Pd the cross-coupled product trans-ethyl-3-chlo-rocinnamate has been isolated in 86 yield Exclusive trans-selectivity is achieved as is assigned on the basis of the cou-pling constant (119869 = 159Hz) Although several iodoarenesundergo Heck coupling with an alkene interestingly thebromoarenes remain unchanged which is typically seen forother halogens like chloro or fluoro groups attached withthe aromatic moiety The ortho-substituent did not cause anysteric inhibition as usually experienced in other couplingreaction which may be attributed to high activity of thecatalyst

2as the source of

palladiumThe Sonogashira coupling reaction normally requires 1ndash

10mol Pd(PPh3)2Cl2(or Pd(PPh

3)4) and copper(I) iodide

as the catalytic system Using the ARF-Pd the reaction of3-iodoanisole and 1-ethynyl-4-methylbenzene carried out inthe presence of Et

3Nas the base in acetonitrile solvent at 80∘C

for 6 h afforded the desired cross-coupled product in excellentyield (Scheme 20) Similar coupling reactions with otheriodoarenes and acetylenes are also found to be successful[237]

In all cases products are isolated in pure form simplyby filtering off the resin-bound palladium catalyst followedby chromatographic purification of the concentrated residueRecycling experiments are tested by taking Suzuki-Miyauracoupling between 14-dibromobenzene and phenylboronicacid The results have revealed that the catalyst is remarkably

active even in the fifth run Consecutive five runs were testedto evaluate the activity of ARF-Pd The palladium contentthroughout the recycling runs remained at a steady state withmarginal increase of Pd distribution on the resin surfacewhich might be due to repeated agitation of the beads duringthe reactions and exposing more surface area with palladiumcontent

422 Suzuki Coupling Using Solid-Phase ImmobilizedOrganoboron Species The concept of a resin-capture-releasetechnique generating the polymer-bound reactive specieshas been established as a potential method for severalorganic transformations [238ndash240] A variety of techniquesare reported in the literature to immobilize differentcomponents of Suzuki cross-coupling reaction [241ndash253]Polymer-bound boronic acids though reported as early as1976 [254] Frenette and Friesen [255] investigated theirutility in Suzuki coupling reaction in 1994

Further application of polyionic resin bound reagentsandor catalysts has been established when an ion-exchangeresin-supported organoborate species is derived as aheterogeneous phenylating agent [256] Thus Amberliteion-exchange resins (chloride form) are exchanged withtetraphenylborate anion (Ph

4Bminus) by continuous rinsing with

an aqueous solution of NaBPh4until the washings gave

negative response to chloride anion (monitored with AgNO3

solution followed by addition of aqueous ammonia) Thepolyionic resins with the tetraphenylborate counter anion(Ph4Bminus) have been used directly for the Suzuki coupling

reaction Initial studies on coupling with 3-iodotoluene inthe presence of palladium catalyst [Pd(OAc)

2 2mol and

Na2CO3 1 equiv] afford the unsymmetrical biphenyl in

90 yield (Scheme 21 condition (a)) Similar coupling of 3-iodotoluene and NaBPh

4in the presence of Na

2CO3afforded

only 43 yield of the coupled product (Scheme 21 condition(b)) However on increasing the quantity of NaBPh

4 the

resulting coupled product could be isolated in 88 yield

(Scheme 21 condition (c)) An interesting observation isthat the yield of the coupled product is not influenced by theabsence of base (Scheme 21 conditions (d) and (e)) Suchbase-free conditions for SM reactions could offer significantpractical advantages and have not previously been reportedwith the organoborate ion bound with solid-phase polymericframeworks

423 Organic Disulfide (SndashS Linkage) Synthesis Organicdisulfides (bearing SndashS linkage) are useful compounds ofwidespread occurrence possessing unique and diverse chem-istry in the synthetic biochemical and agrochemical areas[257ndash259] Disulfide-linked aggregates ubiquitously occurin proteins and many other bioactive molecules Disulfidebonds play an important role in the folding and stabilityof some proteins [260 261] Industrially disulfides find vastapplications as vulcanizing agents for rubbers and elastomerscontributing them considerable tensile strength [262 263]Apart from various solution-phase approaches for the syn-thesis of disulfide from thiols and other precursors thereare few reports on the synthesis of disulfides promoted bypolymeric resin hydroxides In a recent report Sengupta andBasu have shown that Amberlyst A-26(OH) can efficientlypromote smooth conversion of disulfides from alkyl and acyl

methyl thiocyanates in good to excellent yields (Scheme 22)They have also demonstrated that the use of polyionic resinhydroxide has resulted in much better results over otherhomogeneous bases like NaOH NH

5 Conclusion

Thus a series of reactions has been developed exhibitingthe potential of using both inorganic and organic polymericframeworks as the solid phaseThe present review has shownthat alumina silica surface alone or having doped with vari-ous inorganic salts could be utilized in carrying out differentorganic reactions under solvent-free conditions producingmolecules of biological and industrial importance Similarlypolyionic resins have been shown to immobilize reagentsandor catalysts and employ in transfer hydrogenation ofalkenes imines and nitroarenes and in different CndashC cross-coupling reaction Mild reaction conditions easy work-upprocedure selective synthesis of the target molecules andrecycling capability of the supported reagent or catalyst aresome of the advantages of adopting solid-phase organicreactions Further development of newer solid phases immo-bilization procedures resulting in regular dispersion andfinally their new applications are expected in the years tocome

42 CndashC Cross-Coupling Reactions Transition metal-cata-lyzed cross-coupling reactions constitute the central part ofcontemporary organic synthesis [189ndash192] In particular thepalladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond-forming processesrepresent the foremost in the arena of organic process devel-opment The Heck Suzuki-Miyaura Sonogashira reactions(Scheme 19) are excellent tools for carbon-carbon couplingreactions between aryl halides or triflates and suitable part-ners [193]

The coupling of terminal alkynes with an aryl or vinylhalide performed with a palladium catalyst a copper co-catalyst and an amine base is termed as the Sonogashiracoupling reaction [194ndash206] Typically the reaction requiresanhydrous and anaerobic conditions but the newer proce-dures which have been developed show that the restrictionsare not so important

Over the last decade commendable research has beendone to achieve significant developments and to estab-lish practical methodologies [207ndash210] Widespread uses ofpalladium-catalyzed coupling reactions are found in modernorganic synthesis because the resulting coupled products

often find good applications in the preparation of materialspharmaceuticals and other bioactive compounds [211ndash218]As a part of recognition of these extremely useful reactionsNobel prize was awarded to Heck Suzuki and Negishi[219] Many efforts have been reported to immobilize Pdusing a support encapsulating in a polymer or dendrimeror immobilization by ligandpolymer but the problem ofleaching and recyclability still exists [220ndash236]

421 Use of ARF-Pd in CndashC Cross-Coupling Reactions Excel-lent activity high selectivity and reusability of the ARF-Pdas potential reductive system have prompted to explore it asa viable heterogeneous Pd catalyst in various CndashC couplingreactions (Scheme 20) [237] One of the key questions onwhich the researchers have focused is ldquohow canminimizationof catalyst cost and catalyst contamination of the product bebest achievedrdquo It may be noted that the investigation of theheterogeneous ARF-Pd has addressed a great extent to thisquestion

The catalytic activity of ARF-Pdwas first examined inthe Heck coupling reactions and then for the Suzuki andSonogashira reactions as outlined in Scheme 20

Indeed the Heck coupling between 3-chloroiodobenzeneand ethyl cinnamate in the presence of the heterogeneous cat-alyst ARF-Pd the cross-coupled product trans-ethyl-3-chlo-rocinnamate has been isolated in 86 yield Exclusive trans-selectivity is achieved as is assigned on the basis of the cou-pling constant (119869 = 159Hz) Although several iodoarenesundergo Heck coupling with an alkene interestingly thebromoarenes remain unchanged which is typically seen forother halogens like chloro or fluoro groups attached withthe aromatic moiety The ortho-substituent did not cause anysteric inhibition as usually experienced in other couplingreaction which may be attributed to high activity of thecatalyst

The Suzuki-Miyaura reaction (Scheme 20) has beencarried out using 4-bromo-2-methyl anisole phenyl boronicacidNa

the residual mixture furnished the desired unsymmetricalbiphenyl in 82 yield Both bis- and tris-coupled aryl ben-zenes have also been prepared in good to excellent yieldswhen reactions are performed using di- and tribromoarenesrespectively showing notable activity of the heterogeneouspalladium catalysts (ARF-Pd) It may be noted that ortho-dibromobenzene affords a mixture of mono- and biscoupledproducts in the presence of Pd(OAc)

2as the source of

palladiumThe Sonogashira coupling reaction normally requires 1ndash

10mol Pd(PPh3)2Cl2(or Pd(PPh

3)4) and copper(I) iodide

as the catalytic system Using the ARF-Pd the reaction of3-iodoanisole and 1-ethynyl-4-methylbenzene carried out inthe presence of Et

3Nas the base in acetonitrile solvent at 80∘C

for 6 h afforded the desired cross-coupled product in excellentyield (Scheme 20) Similar coupling reactions with otheriodoarenes and acetylenes are also found to be successful[237]

In all cases products are isolated in pure form simplyby filtering off the resin-bound palladium catalyst followedby chromatographic purification of the concentrated residueRecycling experiments are tested by taking Suzuki-Miyauracoupling between 14-dibromobenzene and phenylboronicacid The results have revealed that the catalyst is remarkably

active even in the fifth run Consecutive five runs were testedto evaluate the activity of ARF-Pd The palladium contentthroughout the recycling runs remained at a steady state withmarginal increase of Pd distribution on the resin surfacewhich might be due to repeated agitation of the beads duringthe reactions and exposing more surface area with palladiumcontent

422 Suzuki Coupling Using Solid-Phase ImmobilizedOrganoboron Species The concept of a resin-capture-releasetechnique generating the polymer-bound reactive specieshas been established as a potential method for severalorganic transformations [238ndash240] A variety of techniquesare reported in the literature to immobilize differentcomponents of Suzuki cross-coupling reaction [241ndash253]Polymer-bound boronic acids though reported as early as1976 [254] Frenette and Friesen [255] investigated theirutility in Suzuki coupling reaction in 1994

Further application of polyionic resin bound reagentsandor catalysts has been established when an ion-exchangeresin-supported organoborate species is derived as aheterogeneous phenylating agent [256] Thus Amberliteion-exchange resins (chloride form) are exchanged withtetraphenylborate anion (Ph

4Bminus) by continuous rinsing with

an aqueous solution of NaBPh4until the washings gave

negative response to chloride anion (monitored with AgNO3

solution followed by addition of aqueous ammonia) Thepolyionic resins with the tetraphenylborate counter anion(Ph4Bminus) have been used directly for the Suzuki coupling

reaction Initial studies on coupling with 3-iodotoluene inthe presence of palladium catalyst [Pd(OAc)

2 2mol and

Na2CO3 1 equiv] afford the unsymmetrical biphenyl in

90 yield (Scheme 21 condition (a)) Similar coupling of 3-iodotoluene and NaBPh

4in the presence of Na

2CO3afforded

only 43 yield of the coupled product (Scheme 21 condition(b)) However on increasing the quantity of NaBPh

4 the

resulting coupled product could be isolated in 88 yield

(Scheme 21 condition (c)) An interesting observation isthat the yield of the coupled product is not influenced by theabsence of base (Scheme 21 conditions (d) and (e)) Suchbase-free conditions for SM reactions could offer significantpractical advantages and have not previously been reportedwith the organoborate ion bound with solid-phase polymericframeworks

423 Organic Disulfide (SndashS Linkage) Synthesis Organicdisulfides (bearing SndashS linkage) are useful compounds ofwidespread occurrence possessing unique and diverse chem-istry in the synthetic biochemical and agrochemical areas[257ndash259] Disulfide-linked aggregates ubiquitously occurin proteins and many other bioactive molecules Disulfidebonds play an important role in the folding and stabilityof some proteins [260 261] Industrially disulfides find vastapplications as vulcanizing agents for rubbers and elastomerscontributing them considerable tensile strength [262 263]Apart from various solution-phase approaches for the syn-thesis of disulfide from thiols and other precursors thereare few reports on the synthesis of disulfides promoted bypolymeric resin hydroxides In a recent report Sengupta andBasu have shown that Amberlyst A-26(OH) can efficientlypromote smooth conversion of disulfides from alkyl and acyl

methyl thiocyanates in good to excellent yields (Scheme 22)They have also demonstrated that the use of polyionic resinhydroxide has resulted in much better results over otherhomogeneous bases like NaOH NH

5 Conclusion

Thus a series of reactions has been developed exhibitingthe potential of using both inorganic and organic polymericframeworks as the solid phaseThe present review has shownthat alumina silica surface alone or having doped with vari-ous inorganic salts could be utilized in carrying out differentorganic reactions under solvent-free conditions producingmolecules of biological and industrial importance Similarlypolyionic resins have been shown to immobilize reagentsandor catalysts and employ in transfer hydrogenation ofalkenes imines and nitroarenes and in different CndashC cross-coupling reaction Mild reaction conditions easy work-upprocedure selective synthesis of the target molecules andrecycling capability of the supported reagent or catalyst aresome of the advantages of adopting solid-phase organicreactions Further development of newer solid phases immo-bilization procedures resulting in regular dispersion andfinally their new applications are expected in the years tocome

the residual mixture furnished the desired unsymmetricalbiphenyl in 82 yield Both bis- and tris-coupled aryl ben-zenes have also been prepared in good to excellent yieldswhen reactions are performed using di- and tribromoarenesrespectively showing notable activity of the heterogeneouspalladium catalysts (ARF-Pd) It may be noted that ortho-dibromobenzene affords a mixture of mono- and biscoupledproducts in the presence of Pd(OAc)

2as the source of

palladiumThe Sonogashira coupling reaction normally requires 1ndash

10mol Pd(PPh3)2Cl2(or Pd(PPh

3)4) and copper(I) iodide

as the catalytic system Using the ARF-Pd the reaction of3-iodoanisole and 1-ethynyl-4-methylbenzene carried out inthe presence of Et

3Nas the base in acetonitrile solvent at 80∘C

for 6 h afforded the desired cross-coupled product in excellentyield (Scheme 20) Similar coupling reactions with otheriodoarenes and acetylenes are also found to be successful[237]

In all cases products are isolated in pure form simplyby filtering off the resin-bound palladium catalyst followedby chromatographic purification of the concentrated residueRecycling experiments are tested by taking Suzuki-Miyauracoupling between 14-dibromobenzene and phenylboronicacid The results have revealed that the catalyst is remarkably

active even in the fifth run Consecutive five runs were testedto evaluate the activity of ARF-Pd The palladium contentthroughout the recycling runs remained at a steady state withmarginal increase of Pd distribution on the resin surfacewhich might be due to repeated agitation of the beads duringthe reactions and exposing more surface area with palladiumcontent

422 Suzuki Coupling Using Solid-Phase ImmobilizedOrganoboron Species The concept of a resin-capture-releasetechnique generating the polymer-bound reactive specieshas been established as a potential method for severalorganic transformations [238ndash240] A variety of techniquesare reported in the literature to immobilize differentcomponents of Suzuki cross-coupling reaction [241ndash253]Polymer-bound boronic acids though reported as early as1976 [254] Frenette and Friesen [255] investigated theirutility in Suzuki coupling reaction in 1994

Further application of polyionic resin bound reagentsandor catalysts has been established when an ion-exchangeresin-supported organoborate species is derived as aheterogeneous phenylating agent [256] Thus Amberliteion-exchange resins (chloride form) are exchanged withtetraphenylborate anion (Ph

4Bminus) by continuous rinsing with

an aqueous solution of NaBPh4until the washings gave

negative response to chloride anion (monitored with AgNO3

solution followed by addition of aqueous ammonia) Thepolyionic resins with the tetraphenylborate counter anion(Ph4Bminus) have been used directly for the Suzuki coupling

reaction Initial studies on coupling with 3-iodotoluene inthe presence of palladium catalyst [Pd(OAc)

2 2mol and

Na2CO3 1 equiv] afford the unsymmetrical biphenyl in

90 yield (Scheme 21 condition (a)) Similar coupling of 3-iodotoluene and NaBPh

4in the presence of Na

2CO3afforded

only 43 yield of the coupled product (Scheme 21 condition(b)) However on increasing the quantity of NaBPh

4 the

resulting coupled product could be isolated in 88 yield

(Scheme 21 condition (c)) An interesting observation isthat the yield of the coupled product is not influenced by theabsence of base (Scheme 21 conditions (d) and (e)) Suchbase-free conditions for SM reactions could offer significantpractical advantages and have not previously been reportedwith the organoborate ion bound with solid-phase polymericframeworks

423 Organic Disulfide (SndashS Linkage) Synthesis Organicdisulfides (bearing SndashS linkage) are useful compounds ofwidespread occurrence possessing unique and diverse chem-istry in the synthetic biochemical and agrochemical areas[257ndash259] Disulfide-linked aggregates ubiquitously occurin proteins and many other bioactive molecules Disulfidebonds play an important role in the folding and stabilityof some proteins [260 261] Industrially disulfides find vastapplications as vulcanizing agents for rubbers and elastomerscontributing them considerable tensile strength [262 263]Apart from various solution-phase approaches for the syn-thesis of disulfide from thiols and other precursors thereare few reports on the synthesis of disulfides promoted bypolymeric resin hydroxides In a recent report Sengupta andBasu have shown that Amberlyst A-26(OH) can efficientlypromote smooth conversion of disulfides from alkyl and acyl

methyl thiocyanates in good to excellent yields (Scheme 22)They have also demonstrated that the use of polyionic resinhydroxide has resulted in much better results over otherhomogeneous bases like NaOH NH

3 K2CO3[264]

5 Conclusion

Thus a series of reactions has been developed exhibitingthe potential of using both inorganic and organic polymericframeworks as the solid phaseThe present review has shownthat alumina silica surface alone or having doped with vari-ous inorganic salts could be utilized in carrying out differentorganic reactions under solvent-free conditions producingmolecules of biological and industrial importance Similarlypolyionic resins have been shown to immobilize reagentsandor catalysts and employ in transfer hydrogenation ofalkenes imines and nitroarenes and in different CndashC cross-coupling reaction Mild reaction conditions easy work-upprocedure selective synthesis of the target molecules andrecycling capability of the supported reagent or catalyst aresome of the advantages of adopting solid-phase organicreactions Further development of newer solid phases immo-bilization procedures resulting in regular dispersion andfinally their new applications are expected in the years tocome

Scheme 21

(Scheme 21 condition (c)) An interesting observation isthat the yield of the coupled product is not influenced by theabsence of base (Scheme 21 conditions (d) and (e)) Suchbase-free conditions for SM reactions could offer significantpractical advantages and have not previously been reportedwith the organoborate ion bound with solid-phase polymericframeworks

423 Organic Disulfide (SndashS Linkage) Synthesis Organicdisulfides (bearing SndashS linkage) are useful compounds ofwidespread occurrence possessing unique and diverse chem-istry in the synthetic biochemical and agrochemical areas[257ndash259] Disulfide-linked aggregates ubiquitously occurin proteins and many other bioactive molecules Disulfidebonds play an important role in the folding and stabilityof some proteins [260 261] Industrially disulfides find vastapplications as vulcanizing agents for rubbers and elastomerscontributing them considerable tensile strength [262 263]Apart from various solution-phase approaches for the syn-thesis of disulfide from thiols and other precursors thereare few reports on the synthesis of disulfides promoted bypolymeric resin hydroxides In a recent report Sengupta andBasu have shown that Amberlyst A-26(OH) can efficientlypromote smooth conversion of disulfides from alkyl and acyl

methyl thiocyanates in good to excellent yields (Scheme 22)They have also demonstrated that the use of polyionic resinhydroxide has resulted in much better results over otherhomogeneous bases like NaOH NH

5 Conclusion

Thus a series of reactions has been developed exhibitingthe potential of using both inorganic and organic polymericframeworks as the solid phaseThe present review has shownthat alumina silica surface alone or having doped with vari-ous inorganic salts could be utilized in carrying out differentorganic reactions under solvent-free conditions producingmolecules of biological and industrial importance Similarlypolyionic resins have been shown to immobilize reagentsandor catalysts and employ in transfer hydrogenation ofalkenes imines and nitroarenes and in different CndashC cross-coupling reaction Mild reaction conditions easy work-upprocedure selective synthesis of the target molecules andrecycling capability of the supported reagent or catalyst aresome of the advantages of adopting solid-phase organicreactions Further development of newer solid phases immo-bilization procedures resulting in regular dispersion andfinally their new applications are expected in the years tocome
