  • Palladium catalyzed synthesis of ester compounds
    Patent number: 9845282
    Abstract: A catalytic process for synthesizing an ester compound, and a catalytic process for synthesizing an amide compound, wherein a solid-supported palladium catalyst is used to catalyze an alkoxycarbonylation reaction of an aryl halide to form the ester compound, or to catalyze an aminocarbonylation reaction of an aryl halide to form the amide compound. Various embodiments of each of the processes are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 7, 2017
    Date of Patent: December 19, 2017
    Assignee: King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals
    Inventors: Bassam M. El Ali, Mansur B. Ibrahim, Rami K. Suleiman

  • Palladium(II) complex for catalyzing sonogashira coupling reactions and a method thereof
    Patent number: 9546191
    Abstract: A palladium(II) complex which catalyzes the Sonogashira coupling reaction efficiently under aerobic condition and a method of employing the palladium(II) complex to synthesize internal alkynes. The palladium(II) complex is an effective catalyst for the coupling reactions of aryl iodo and diiodo compounds with unactivated alkyl alkynes and terminal dialkynes to produce various novel symmetrical dialkynes and disubstituted internal alkynes in excellent yields.
