Poly[N-isopropylacrylamide-co-4-(diphenylphosphino)styrene] Palladium(II) Dichloride (ratio, acrylamide:phosphine=20:2) / Palladium Catalyst, supported with Poly[N-isopropylacrylamide-co-4-(diphenylphosphino)styrene]
In recent years, the trend in synthetic organic chemistry has been to put special emphasis on harmonization with the environment and reaction efficiency. Much R&D is taking place to address these issues. Polymer-supported synthetic reagents and catalysts are drawing much attention due to the ease of recovery of the reagent after reaction. For this reason, many polymer-supported reagents and catalysts with excellent properties have been reported.
One of the most common hypervalent iodine compounds, diacetoxyiodobenzene, has been supported on polystyrene by Togo and co-workers, and they have reported the oxidation of various functional groups. For example, they have reported the oxidation of alcohols in the presence of this polymer-supported reagent and TEMPO.1) Ishikawa and co-workers have developed 1,3-dimethylimidazolidinone supported on polystyrene. The derived 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolidium, using oxalyl chloride, is used for the esterification as a polymer-supported dehydrating and condensation reagent.2)
On the other hand, active research for development of the polymer-supported catalysts has also been carried out. Yao has developed a polyethylene glycol-bound Grubbs catalyst analog for olefin metathesis reactions.3) After the reaction, this catalyst was precipitated by the addition of diethyl ether as a poor solvent. It can be recovered and reused. Ishihara and his group have developed a polystyrene-bound 4-bis(triflyl)methyl-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene and demonstrated its applications as a solid super Brønsted acid catalyst.4) This solid catalyst swells effectively in organic solvents, and shows excellent activity with various acid-catalyzed reactions. This catalyst has been used in esterification, Friedel-Crafts reaction, Michael addition, acetalization, Sakurai-Hosomi allylation and Mukaiyama aldol reaction. Its catalytic activity was superior even to that of Nafion, which is well known as a solid strong acid. After reaction, the solid catalyst was quantitatively recovered by simple filtration and reused. It was also packed in a syringe as a reaction column, and various acid-promoted reactions were performed to afford the desired products by passing a solution of reactants through the syringe.

Palladium is one of the most useful catalysts in organic syntheses. Many types of palladium complex catalysts have been developed and utilized in various reactions. Furthermore, "Environmentally-friendly organic syntheses" are desired these days, so there have been many developmental studies of palladium complex catalysts with respect to green chemistry in recent years.
Palladium complex catalyst 1 developed recently by Ikegami et al. is one of those catalysts with excellent properties. Catalyst 1 is solid-phase catalyst which consists of amphiphilic copolymer ligands and palladium. It uptakes substrates and reagents of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic nature in the vicinity of palladium to smoothly promote the reaction. The palladium complex catalyst forms a networked supermolecular complex, which is insoluble in water and organic solvents, and is easily recovered from reaction system. Since the palladium is firmly held in place by the phosphino group of copolymer ligand, it is not lost during the reaction or upon work up; therefore, the catalyst can be recovered and reused multiple times.
