chemicals
Johannes G. de Vries
Abstract. An overview is given of the use of the Heck reaction for the production of fine chemicals. Five commercial
products have been identified that are produced on a scale in excess of 1 ton/year. The herbicide Prosulfuron™ is pro-
duced via a Matsuda reaction of 2-sulfonatobenzenediazonium on 3,3,3-trifluoropropene. The sunscreen agent 2-
ethylhexyl p-methoxy-cinnamate has been produced on pilot scale using Pd/C as catalyst. Naproxen™ is produced via
the Heck reaction of 2-bromo-6-methoxy-naphthalene on ethylene, followed by carbonylation of the product. Monomers
for coatings are produced via a Heck reaction on 2-bromo-benzocyclobutene. A key step in the production of the
antiasthma agent Singulair™ is the use of the Heck reaction of methyl 2-iodo-benzoate on allylic alcohol (18) to give
ketone (20). The high cost of palladium has spurred much research aimed at the development of more active palladium
catalysts. Ligandless catalysts are very attractive for production, but work only on reactive substrates. Palladacycles are
much more stable than Pd-phosphine complexes and can be used at higher temperatures. The same effect has been
reached with pincer ligands. Bulky ligands lead to coordinatively unsaturated Pd-complexes, which are highly active for
the Heck reaction. Recycle of palladium catalysts is also very important to reduce cost. Immobilization of catalysts by
attaching ligands to solid support is not very useful, because of leaching and reduced activity. In ligandless Heck reac-
tions the catalyst can be precipitated on carriers such as silica, dicalite, or celite. This material can be restored to its
original activity by treatment with I2 or Br2.
Key words: homogeneous catalysis, palladium, arylation, olefination, ligandless, catalyst recycle.
Résumé : On présente une revue de l'utilisation de la réaction de Heck dans la production de produits chimiques fins.
On a identifié cinq produits commerciaux qui sont produits sur une échelle supérieure à une tonne par année.
L'herbicide Prosulfuron® est produit par le biais d'une réaction de Matsuda du 2-sulfonatobenzènediazonium sur le
3,3,3-trifluoropropène. L'agent solaire 4-méthoxycinnamate de 2-éthylhexyle a été produit à l'échelle pilote à l'aide
d'un catalyseur de Pd/C. Le Naproxen® est produit par le biais d'une réaction de Heck du 2-bormo-6-
méthoxynaphtalène sur l'éthylène, suivie d'une carbonylation du produit. Des monomères de couches protectrices sont
produits par le biais d'une réaction de Heck sur le 2-bromobenzocyclobutène. Une étape clé dans la production de
l'agent antiasthmatique Singulair® est l'utilisation de la réaction de Heck du 2-iodobenzoate de méthyle sur l'alcool al-
lylique 18 pour obtenir la cétone 20. Le prix élevé du palladium a provoqué beaucoup de recherches dans le but de dé-
velopper des catalyseurs du palladium qui soient plus actifs. Les catalyseurs sans ligands sont très attrayants pour la
production, mais ils ne sont utiles qu'avec des substrats réactifs. Les cycles palladiés sont beaucoup plus stables que
les complexes Pd/phosphine et ils peuvent être utilisés à des températures plus élevées. On peut obtenir le même effet
avec des ligands en forme de pinces. Les ligands encombrés conduisent à des complexes à coordination insaturée du
Pd qui sont très actifs pour la réaction de Heck. Le recyclage des catalyseurs de palladium est important afin de mini-
miser les coûts. L'immobilisation des catalyseurs en attachant des ligands à un support solide n'est pas très utile en rai-
son du lessivage et de la réduction de l'activité. Dans les réactions de Heck sans ligand, il est possible de précipiter le
catalyseur sur des porteurs, comme la silice, la dicalite ou la célite; ce matériel peut être ramené à son activité origi-
nale par traitement avec du I2 ou du Br2.
Mots clés : catalyse hétérogène, palladium, arylation, oléfination, sans ligand, recyclage du catalyseur.

The Heck reaction
The Heck arylation reaction (Scheme 1), invented inde- pendently by Mizoroki and Heck (10) in 1970 establishes a bond between olefins and aromatic rings. Initially, reportsonly mentioned the use of aryl bromides and iodides asarylating agent. Later, variants were developed using aro-matic triflates (11), aroyl chlorides (12), aryl sulfonyl chlo-rides (13), aromatic diazonium salts (14) (the Matsuda reaction), aroyl anhydrides (15), aryl chlorides (16-20), and arylsilanols (21). Consequently, the number of commerciallyavailable aromatic substrates is very high. The diazoniumsalts work at room temperature or below and thus are suit-able for reactions with thermally labile olefins. In situ prepa- ration of the diazonium salt from the aniline during the Heck X = I, Br, Cl, COCl, OSO2R, SO2Cl, N2 X-, reaction has also been reported (22). The variant using aro- matic anhydrides only produces the aromatic acid as side product, which can be recycled. In addition it does not needphosphine ligands or a base (15). Hence, this reaction is saltfree.
Most heteroaromatic halides and pseudohalides can be used in the Heck reaction, though sometimes substrates withhalide ortho- to the heteroatom cause problems (10).

An important aspect of the attractiveness of the Heck re- action is the ability to form carbon-carbon bonds without the use of strongly basic reagents such as Grignards andlithiated carbon nucleophiles. Hence, the functional grouptolerance of the Heck reaction is very wide allowing its use in the latter stages of a total synthesis. This aspect is very
important in the production of Merck's LTD4 antagonist

as an antiasthma agent. A synthesis has been published for
the closely related L-699 392 (21) (Scheme 7) (40). The key
step in the synthesis is the Heck reaction of methyl 2-

Another interesting, cheap, and very active class of catalysts are the palladacycles based on aro- matic compounds with side chains containing N (41, 46), O (47), or S (48, 49). The more active catalysts also have al- lowed the use of chloroarenes as arylating agents, which istremendously important because of the much wider commer- cial availability and the lower costs of these compounds(16-20).

Because of the steadily rising cost of palladium, catalyst recovery and recycle has become a major issue. Recovery is easy in the case of the ligandless Heck reactions as the cata- lyst precipitates completely once all the substrate has been used up. If ligands are used this can be a problem, thoughsometimes water-soluble ligands can be used to allow for two-phase catalysis (50-53). Ionic liquids have also been re-ported as an aid in catalyst recycle (54-56). The recoveredcatalyst is usually returned to the catalyst manufacturer for 22 SingulairTM
