Abstract

Pd/C was found to be an efficient and convenient metal catalyst in the homocoupling reaction for the synthesis of symmetrical biaryl diamides. The catalyst system Pd/C–KOAc showed high catalytic activity, and a variety of symmetrical biaryl diamides were conveniently synthesized from 2-halo-N-phenylbenzamides in moderate to good yields.

  • 20 General Procedure for the Synthesis of Symmetrical Biaryl Diamides An oven-dried Schlenk tube equipped with a Teflon valve was charged with a magnetic stir bar, 10% Pd/C (10% wt% of a), 2-halo-N-phenylbenzamides a (0.3 mmol) and KOAc (0.6 mmol). The tube was placed under vacuum for 20 min and backfilled with N2. Then DMA (2.0 mL) was added through a syringe. The reaction mixture was stirred at 125 °C for 20 h. The reaction was monitored by TLC. When 2-halo-N-phenylbenzamides a consumed completely, the reaction was stopped and cooled to r.t., EtOAc (40 mL) was added, and the mixture was washed with brine (3 × 20 mL). The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified directly by column chromatography on silica gel to give the pure products b (PE–EtOAc = 2:1, v/v).
