Abstract: C-C cross-couplings constitute the largest diversity of organic reactions of chemical, biomedical, and industrial significance. They are also among the most fre-quently encountered reactions used in the synthesis of numerous drugs and relevant phar-maceutical substances. Development of an easily accessed, efficient, stable, and low cost catalyst is an attractive area of research in such kind of organic synthesis. This review highlights the remarkable and recent achievements made recently in the synthesis and use of palladium(II) complexes catalysts, that are based on heterocycles as ligands in their constitution, in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling.
Keywords: Suzuki-Miyaura; cross-couplings; palladium(II) complexes; heterocycles; catalysis; biaryls.
1. INTRODUCTION
Biaryls and substituted aromatic structures, in general, consti-tute the cores of various natural products, ligands, pharmaceuticals and polymers [1-11]. Subsequently, efficient and green methods for synthesizing these compounds are decisive, to the work of a broad range of organic chemists. On the other hand, cross-coupling reac-tions with transition-metal-catalysts are considerably useful syn-thetic route for the synthesis of biaryls via C-C bonds formation [12-14]. The Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling (SMC) [15-20], has become a standard procedure for implementations, extending from pharmaceuticals to materials science [21]. It is quite familiar that the main feature of metal catalysts is their high catalytic efficiency, but unfavourable factors, such as pollution problems to the envi-ronment, difficulty in recycling and high price, have seriously con-erned their implementations in the industry. However, there has been considerable interest in the development of new, highly-active palladium catalysts that can be used in cross-coupling reactions [22-24]. Since the middle of the 20th century, the interest in palladium as a catalyst has been increased markedly. Traditionally, palladium intermediates were stabilized by using phosphine ligands [25]. However, the air-susceptibility of these kinds of ligands can prevent their use in a variety of synthetic implementations [26]. Moreover, phosphine ligands are often expensive, and their price can override the palladium salt. On the other hand, phosphorus-free palladium catalysts have many advantages such as high air stability, thermal stability, and higher catalytic activity which permit the catalysed

reaction to occur under mild reaction conditions [27, 28]. Thus, the development of phosphine-free ligands has been increasingly de-veloped in the recent years, with amines, carbenes, thioureas, etc. [29, 30]. Construction of the appropriate ligands might be a good controlling factor to obtain catalysts that push the weak leaving group, such as chloride in SMC to take its role in the reaction and can be easily displaced. Also, the developed appropriate ligands will lead to catalysts that exhibit improved lifetimes, higher TON, recyclability and are stable to run the reactions in aerobic condi-tions at lower temperatures [31, 32]. In the course of many studies including our recent studies, on carbon-carbon bond-forming reac-tions [33-38], it was found that the utility of different heterocyclic compounds in complexation with palladium and their use in cataly-sis of SMC reactions; was the nucleus for the development of new series of ligands that could be used for a wide variety of reactions of palladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon coupling cross-coupling reactions. It should be noted that, the reaction yields that are men-tioned here in each contribution are only the maximum isolated yields using the optimized conditions of the base solvent, co-catalyst and catalyst loadings. In some cases, conversions are men-tioned if the isolated yields are not reported by the authors. The complexes or heterocyclic-based palladium catalysts are arranged according to the ring size, the number of heteroatoms and the benzo-fused heterocycles. When two heterocycles are present in the complex, the categorization is based on the smaller ring size hetero-cycle. In the present review, we shed light on the main strategies for the development of new heterocyclic-based palladium complexes and their uses as efficient catalysts for SMC over the last decade.

2.1.1. Pyrrole-based Palladium Complexes Development of an efficient and convenient palladium(II)-
porphyrin catalytic system which was used for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling (SMC) of potassium aryltrifluoroborate with aryl bromides in water was achieved. A series of seven different porphy-rins and their complexes with palladium 2a-g, containing various substituents in the attached phenyl moiety, was synthesized. Thus, heating a mixture of substituted porphyrins 1 with palladium chlo-ride in dimethylformamide (DMF) afforded the corresponding pal-ladium(II)-porphyrin complexes 2a-g as shown in Scheme (1). It was found that, porphyrin-based complexes 2a-g were highly stable and moisture-resistant as compared with the toxic and unstable phosphine ligands containing complexes [39].
The catalytic activity of the synthesized palladium(II)-porphyrin complexes 2a-g in the synthesis of biaryl derivatives 5 through C-C coupling has been investigated using an aqueous me-dium (H2O) as a solvent (Scheme 2). The isolated products have been obtained in excellent yield (Table 1) regardless the nature of the substituent in the aryl bromide, using water as a solvent, and reusability of the catalyst were the remarkable advantages of this developed methodology. Moreover, the method was applied for larger-scale synthesis of biaryl derivatives without any side prod-ucts [39].
An efficient water-‐soluble palladium catalyst 7 with L-‐proline as N, O-‐ligand has been synthesized by Zhang et al. and used for the catalysis of aqueous Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. The L-proline-based palladium complex 7 was synthesized by addi-tion of triethylamine to a methanolic solution of L-‐proline 6 with stirring for 1 h, then; a methanolic solution of palladium acetate was then added to the reaction mixture with vigorous stirring under

Scheme 6. Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction between different aryl or pyridylhalides and arylboronic acids using complex 12 as a precatalyst.
The catalytic activity of the pyrazolone-based palladium com-plex 12 has been examined using the reaction between 4-methoxybromobenzene as an example of aryl bromide 3a and 4-methylphenylboronic acid 8 as a model reaction (Scheme 6). It was found that, this catalytic system was efficient for the synthesis of biaryls 5 in excellent yields without using any co-catalyst with mild reaction conditions (Table 3) [41]. The same catalytic system has been used for the cross coupling of 2-bromopyridine 13 and phen-ylboronic acid to afford the corresponding 2-phenylpyridine in good yield under the same reaction conditions as shown in Table (3).
5-Methoxy-1-pyridin-2-yl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid 15 have been synthesized by Liqun et al and used as a ligand and pre-cursor for the novel pre-catalyst 16 via its reaction with potassium tetrachloropalladate in aqueous methanol at room temperature as shown in Scheme (7) [42].
Under the developed optimized conditions, complex 16 was an efficient catalyst for microwave-assisted Suzuki–Miyaura cross-
coupling reaction between a wide range of aryl halides and arylbo-ronic acids as depicted in Table (4). In general, the catalyst found to be very efficient when electron-rich or electron-poor aryl halides were utilized under microwave irradiation in water/EtOH co-solvent as a green methodology for the synthesis of biaryl 5 as shown in Scheme (8) [42].
2.2.2. 1,3-Oxazole-based Palladium Complexes
Novel bis(oxazoline) ligand 19 was simply synthesized by re-acting 2-‐amino-‐2-‐methyl-‐1-‐propanol 18 with phthalonitrile 17 in the presence of zinc triflate as a catalyst. The bis(oxazoline) palla-dium complex 20 was prepared by the reaction of 19 with bis(benzonitrile)palladium(II) chloride in dimethylformamide as shown in Scheme (9) [43]. Other unsymmetrical structural related complexes have been synthesized using the same experimental conditions to afford the corresponding palladium complexes 21 and 22 (Fig. 1).

The new bis(oxazoline) palladium complex 20 showed excel-lent catalytic activity in Suzuki–Miyaura cross-‐coupling reactions. Various biaryl derivatives 5 have been synthesized in excellent isolated yields by the cross- coupling of arylhalides 3a-c with aryl-boronic acids 8 (Scheme 10, Table 5) [43]. The catalytic system can
tolerate a wide range of substituents on aryl halides and arylboronic acids in DMF/H2O (1:1) as a solvent system at room temperature (Table 5). It was reported that the exceptional catalytic activity observed with bis(oxazoline) palladium complex 20 can be attrib-uted to both electronic and steric effects. Furthermore, the newly

developed catalyst showed high recyclability of more than 12 times without losing its activity in the coupling reactions [43].

Firstly, the catalytic activity of the new complex 24, was exam-ined in the reaction of 3-bromobenzoic acid 25 with 4-substituted phenylboronic acid 8 in the presence of 24 using water as the sol-vent and in the presence of potassium carbonate as a base. The reac-tion proceeded under homogeneous conditions smoothly to give the corresponding coupled product 26 in 100% yield using the opti-mized reaction conditions as shown in the (Scheme 12) [44].
In addition, the catalytic ability of the new precatalyst 24 has been tested in reactions of water-insoluble aryl bromides. The cou-pling of 2-bromoaniline 3 and 4-methoxyphenylboronic acid 8 in water is shown in Scheme (13) [44].
Also, the novel isoxazole-based complex 24 showed high cata-lytic activity in the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of aryl iodides under aerobic conditions and in water. It was found that, only 0.1 mol% palladium catalyst 24 was enough to produce the biaryl compounds 5 in quantitative yields with high turnover number as shown in Schemes (12) and (13).
2.2.4. Imidazole-based Palladium Complexes
Jayantjit et al. developed a robust and non-toxic catalytic sys-tem for cross-coupling reactions under room temperature with envi-ronmentally friendly conditions using N-methyl imidazole 29 as a co-ligand. The new complex 30 has been synthesized as shown in Scheme (14) starting from the complexation of ligand 27 then inter-conversion of pd(II) complex 28 to imidazole based pd(II) complex 30 via its reaction with N-methyl imidazole 29. N-methyl imidazole 29 was chosen as the co-ligand to increase the electron density at Pd. The advantages of the new complex 30 were its stability in air and moisture and solubility in some common organic solvents [45].
The synthesized complex 30 proved to be a highly active pre-catalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of aryl or heteroarylboronic acids 8 with aryl bromides or chlorides 3a,c at room temperature and at 60 °C, respectively, without using any additives or co-catalysts under mild conditions (Scheme 15, Table 6). It was found that, a low catalyst loading is required for the reac-

tion and the complex 30 is converted to ∼1.5-2.0 nm-sized palla-dium nanoparticles which were considered to be the real catalytic species in the cross-coupling to give 5. The recyclability of the precatalyst 30 was achieved up to seven times without losing its activity [45].
A new 1-trityl-1H-imidazole-based palladium complex 32 has been synthesized by reacting 1-trityl-1H-imidazole 31 with palla-dium chloride in anhydrous THF at 60 oC as depicted in Scheme (16) [46].
The catalytic activity of the new imidazole-based palladium complex 32 for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of aryl chlorides 3c with phenylboronic acid 8 was investigated as pre-sented in Scheme (17) and Table 7. The reactions of arylboronic acids with aryl chlorides proceeded with good to excellent yields. A moderate yield was obtained for 4-methyl-1-naphthaleneboronic acid. However, much lower reactivity was observed for p-chloroacetophenone and 2-chloropyridine 13 (Table 7, Entries 8, 15 and 16, respectively) [46].
Reaction between N-substituted imidazole derivatives 33 or 36 with palladium sources (palladium chloride, palladium acetate or potassium tetrachloropalladate) in organic solvents (THF, EtOH, or
MeCN) afforded the corresponding palladium–imidazole com-plexes 35 and 37 as shown in Scheme (18) and (19) [47].
The complex 37 for e.g., exhibited superb catalytic activity in the reaction of Suzuki–Miyaura under conservative conditions in a non-toxic, isopropanol–water solvent (Table 8). Excellent yields of cross-coupling products 5 were obtained when 4-bromotoluene and 4-bromoanisole were used as substrates with phenylboronic acid 8 (Scheme 20). The synthesized catalysts 35 and 37 showed much lower catalytic activity when 4-vinylphenylboronic acid was used instead of phenylboronic acid [47].
Imidazole incorporated in a siloxane polymer has been used as a ligand and support for a palladium catalyst 38 by Borkowski et al as shown in Fig (2) and Scheme (21). The activity of the developed polymer-supported imidazole-based palladium catalyst 38 has been examined in catalysis of aqueous Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions between aryl halides 3a,c and phenylboronic acid 8 using conventional heating as well as microwave irradiation (Scheme 21). The biaryls 5 were obtained in good to excellent yields in case of using aryl bromides and poor yields in case of using aryl chlorides as shown in Table (9). It was reported that the catalyst showed good recyclability under the reported mild conditions [48].

2.3. Five-Membered with Three Heteroatom Heterocycles-Based Palladium Complexes
2.3.1. Triazole-based Palladium Complexes
2.3.1.1. 1,2,3-Triazole-based Palladium Complexes
New ligands including substituted triazolylisoxazole 39 were synthesized by means of click-chemistry procedures reported by Nikolay et al. The obtained ligands 39 was used in the preparation of palladium(II) complexes 40. Thus, the reaction of ligands 39 with sodium tetrachloropalladate in methanol afforded the corre-sponding water and air-stable palladium complex 40 in good yield (Scheme 22) [49].
The catalytic activity of the novel palladium complexes 40 in aqueous cross-coupling reactions has been examined for the Su-zuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of 3-halobenzoic acid 3a,b with 4-methoxyphenylboronic acid 8 under air atmosphere (Scheme 23). It was found that the reaction proceeded smoothly at mild tem-perature and in short time giving a high yield of cross-coupling product 5 without any inert gas protection in the presence of tested complexes 40 (Scheme 23) [49].
1H-1,2,3-Triazole-based palladium complexes 42a,b have been synthesized by reacting (CH3CN)2PdCl2 with the ‘Click’ created ligands 41a,b namely, 1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-4-(phenylthio/ selenomethyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole (Scheme 24) [50].

The triazole-based palladium complexes 42a,b have efficiently
catalysed a homogenous Suzuki–Miyuara cross-coupling of substi- tuted aryl bromides 3a and phenylboronic acid 8 in an aqueous medium (Scheme 25). A catalyst loading of 0.01–0.1 mol% is optimum for successful cross-couplings with variable yield percent- ages. Activated aryl bromides gave good conversion when Suzuki– Miyaura cross-coupling was carried out for 1–2 h in the presence of catalyst 42a, however, the reaction time increased when catalyst 42b was used for the same substrate (Table 10, entries 3-6) [50].
Palladium immobilized triazole-functionalized siloxanes 43 and 44 reacted with palladium acetate to afford the corresponding recy- clable palladium catalysts 45 and 46 as shown in Scheme (26) [51].
The catalytic activity of both catalysts, 45 and 46, were tested in the Suzuki–Miyuara cross-coupling reaction of 2-bromotoluene 3a and phenylboronic acid 8a at 60 oC in a 2-propanol/water mix-ture (Scheme 27). It was found that 100% conversion of 2-bromotoluene was obtained after 1 h. It was found that, nine subse-
quent cycles were successfully performed efficiently with the same catalyst 45 [51].
A novel 1,2,3-triazole ligand 47 functionalized with a hydro-philic group has been synthesized by the treatment of 1-‐chloro-‐4-‐bromobutane with sodium azide in H2O/MeOH at 80 °C overnight, followed by 1,3-‐dipolar cycloaddition with 2-‐ethynylpyridine under standard click reaction conditions. Quar-ternization of ligand 47 with an excess of a 30 % aqueous solu-tion of Me3N in MeCN produced ionic chelating ligand 48 (Scheme 28). The reaction of ligand 48 with an equimolar amount of [Pd(cod)Cl2] in dichloromethane/methanol afforded the correspond-ing stable water-soluble palladium complex 49 in almost quantita-tive yield [52].
Catalysis of the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction be-tween aryl or heteroaryl halides 3a,c and aryl boronic acids 8 was examined using the water soluble palladium complex 49 in clean water (Scheme 29). As shown in Table (11), the reaction between aryl halides 3a,c and aryl boronic acids 8 gave the cross-coupled

Catalyst 49 reusability has been examined for the reaction be-tween 4-bromoacetophenone 3a and phenylboronic acid 8. When the reaction was finished, the residual aqueous solution was re-charged with the same substrates and one equivalent of the base for the next run.

styrene resin-supported Pd(II) complex 52 was prepared by stirring a suspension of 1,2,4-triazole-functionalized polystyrene resin 51 in a solution of PdCl2(PhCN)2 in refluxing ethanol for 15 h (Scheme 30) [53].
Excellent catalytic activity for the palladium catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of aryl iodides 3b and aryl bro-mides 3a with phenylboronic acid 8a was observed in water when the novel polystyrene-bound triazole palladium complex 52 was used as a precatalyst as shown in Scheme (31) and Table (12). The catalyst 52 used is easily separated and can be reused for several times without any noticeable change in its activity [53].
2.3.2. 1,2,4-Oxadiazole-based Palladium Complexes
Treatment of nitriles with two equivalents of pyrroline-N-oxide 53 and one equivalent of PdCl2 afforded the corresponding fused bicyclic 1,2,4-oxadiazoline palladium(II) complexes 54 as shown in Scheme 32. Refluxing 1,2,4-oxadiazoline palladium(II) complexes
54 in chloroform for one week produced the new ketamine palla-dium(II) complex 55 (Scheme 32) [54].
Immobilization of the synthesized complexes 54 and 55 on the chitosan membrane to give the new heterogenized palladium(II) catalysts 56 and 57 has been achieved via replacement of oxadia-zoline or benzamide-type ligands by an amine group of the mem-brane (Fig. 3) [54].
The heterogenized catalysts 56 and 57 have been used for the microwave-assisted Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling in water. The catalytic activity of the prepared catalysts 56 and 57 in Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions in water using p-bromoanisole 3a and phenylboronic acid 8a was successful to give p-methoxybi-phenyl 5 in excellent yield. The effects of catalyst loading, tempera-ture, time, and base were investigated, and the best results were obtained using the conditions as shown in Scheme (33). It should be noted that the supported catalysts 56 and 57 were recovered and reused up to seven times, with a gradual loss of their catalytic activ-ity [54].

3. SIX MEMBERED HETEROCYCLES-BASED PALLA-DIUM COMPLEXES
3.1. Six-membered with One Heteroatom Heterocycles-based Palladium Complexes
3.1.1. Pyridine-based Palladium Complexes
New type of palladium(II)-complex 61 has been reported by Althagafi et al. 2-Aminopyridine 58 was treated with dimethylfor-mamide dimethylacetal 59 in benzene, to afford the formamidine derivative 60 as shown in Scheme (34). The Pd(II)-complex 61 was prepared by dissolving the formamidine derivative in methanol followed by addition of an equimolar amount of sodium tetrachlo-ropalladate, at room temperature (Scheme 34) [33].
Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of aryl halides 3a,c with aryl boronic acids 8 using new palladium complex 61 as a precatalyst was investigated. A pyridine-based Pd(II)-complex 61 was used in open air under thermal as well as micro-wave irradiation condi-
tions, using water as an eco-friendly green solvent (Scheme 35, Table 13) [33].
A series of water-soluble cationic pyridine based palladium(II) SNS pincer complexes 64 and 65 have been successfully synthe-sized by reaction of 2,6-bis(alkylthio or arylthiomethyl)pyridine 62 or 63 with PdCl2(MeCN)2 , followed by treatment with the halide abstractor AgOTf to provide the desired SNS-Pd(II) complexes 64 in good yield (Scheme 36) [55].
The potentiality of the synthesized pyridine-based SNS-palladium(II) complexes 64 has been examined for Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. A detailed investigation into the applica-tion of these complexes 64 in the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction was conducted using various aryl bromides or chlorides 3a,c and arylboronic acids 8 as coupling components in water. All the complexes showed high catalytic activity in Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction to provide the corresponding biaryls 5 in good to excellent yields with only 0.5 mol % catalyst loading (Scheme 37, Table 14) [55].

A supramolecular N,N',O-tridentate ligand was synthesized by the inclusion of 2,6-diaminopyridine in the hydrophobic β-CD cav-ity of the ionic liquid which gave a new air-stable, highly water-soluble palladium complex 66, that was used as a catalyst for green
Suzuki cross-coupling reactions in water at ambient temperature with good to excellent yields, as depicted in (Scheme 38, Table 15). The catalyst can be removed and recycled [56].

The pyridine-based NNN pincer ligands 67 have been synthe-sized by the reaction of pyridine-2,6-dicarbonyldichloride and ben-zylamine derivatives in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP). The reaction of ligands 67 with palladium acetate in ace-tonitrile afforded the corresponding palladium pincer complexes 68 (Scheme 39) [57].
All the complexes 68 were examined as catalysts in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of phenylboronic acid 8 and aryl halides 3a,b in ethanol/water mixture (Scheme 40, Table 16). A comparison study between the synthesized phosphine free com-plexes and the corresponding phosphine ligands hasbeen done and showed that the reactivity of the acetonitrile complex 68 was not

high efficiency in the catalysis of Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction in water for SMC reactions in the presence of potassium carbonate as a base and tertabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as the phase transfer reagent (Scheme 42) [58].
It was found that by using the optimized conditions and 0.1 mol % of pyridyl imine-based palladium complexes 70, cross-coupling between various aryl halides 3a,c and aryl boronic acid 8 was suc-cessful, and good to excellent yields (with aryl bromides) were obtained in most of the cases under microwaves irradiation (Table 17) [58].
In general, aryl bromides 3a showed good results (72%–98% yields) using the pyridyl imine-based palladium complexes 70 as precatalysts compared with the aryl chlorides 3c (Table 17). Fur-thermore, Catalyst recyclability could be obtained for up to four cycles before the decomposition of the catalyst under the influence of microwaves [58].

The catalytic efficiency in Suzuki cross-coupling reactions was evaluated for the developed catalyst 72 under solvent-free condi-tions (Scheme 44). Variable catalytic activity for Suzuki–Miyuara cross-coupling reaction of aryl bromides 3a and iodides 3b with phenylboronic acid 8 was observed when the novel palladium com-plex 72 was used as a precatalyst as shown in Table (18). The cata-lyst 72 showed low efficiency in case of cross-coupling of aryl chlorides 3c with phenylboronic acid 8. The reusability of the de-veloped catalyst 72 showed that the catalyst was recyclable and recoverable several times [59].
Phosphine-‐free new palladium(II) complexes 74a-c of 2,6-‐bis(pyrrolyl)pyridine based pincer ligands 73 have been synthe-sized by Stetter condensation of 2,6-‐pyridinedicarboxaldehyde and the corresponding chalcones followed by cyclization in the pres-ence of ammonium acetate. Palladium complexes 74a-c of the syn-thesized pincer ligands were prepared by the reaction of 73 with palladium acetate in acetonitrile as a shown in Scheme (45) [60].
The catalytic activities of the palladium complexes 74a-c for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction were examined under mild reaction conditions using water as a solvent. 4-‐Bromoacetophenone 3a and phenylboronic acid 8a were selected as model substrates as shown in Scheme (46). The effects of both base and solvents have been investigated to attain the optimized conditions which then have been applied for various derivatives of aryl bromides 3a

Scheme 49. Synthesis of the palladium complexes 82, 85, 88, 91, 94, and 97.
The catalytic activity of both palladacycles 78a and 78b, was evaluated with Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling in an aqueous me-dium (Scheme 48). Thus, by using complexes 78a and 78b, various arylboronic acids 8 reacted with aryl bromides 3a, providing good to excellent yields of the cross-coupled products 5, regardless of the electronic or steric nature of the coupling partners. In general, pal-
ladium complex 78a, showed better catalytic activity than complex 78b, except in a few couplings (entries 10, 11 and 14), probably due to the higher hydrophilicity that confers a remarkable stability to the latter complex in the reaction conditions (Table 20) [61].

pyridylbenzimidazole 79 with various structurally related deriva-tives of benzyl bromide in the presence of a proper base in anhy-drous toluene or tetrahydrofuran (Scheme 49). The palladium com-plexes 82, 85, 88, 91, 94, and 97 of the prepared ligands were ob-tained by reactions of 81, 84, 87, 90, 93, and 96 with PdCl2(MeCN)2 using tetrahydrofuran as a solvent as shown in Scheme (49) [62].
The catalytic activity of synthesized pyridylbenzimidazole-based palladium complexes 82, 85, 88, 91, 94, and 97 (91 was taken as an example) was examined for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions between phenylboronic acid 8a and aryl bro-mides 3a and chlorides 3c using aqueous DMF as a solvent and in the presence of Cs2CO3 as a proper base (Scheme 50). The complex 91 has been catalysed the cross-coupling of aryl bromides 3a with phenylbronic acid 8a, yielding biaryls 5 in high yields (Table 21). The lower yields were obtained in the case of aryl chlorides 3c (Table 21) [62].
The reaction of 2-‐(pyridine-‐2-‐ylmethylsulfanyl)benzoic acid 98 with an equimolar amount of [Pd(CH3CN)2Cl2] in acetonitrile re-sulted in the corresponding palladium complexes 99 (in low yield) and the unexpected complex 100 (Scheme 51). The complex 99 was found to be soluble and stable in water more than 100 [63].
The application of complex 99 in the catalysis of Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of aryl bromide derivatives 3a with phenylboronic acid 8a in water or water/DMF under ambient conditions was achieved (Scheme 52). Maximum conversions were obtained in the presence of tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as a phase-‐transfer catalyst and K2CO3 as a base as shown in Table 22. In comparison, palladium precatalyst 100 showed a higher con-version due to its poor solubility in water. On the other hand, palla-dium precatalyst 99 was efficient to afford the targeted biaryls 5 with excellent conversion and yields (Table 22). In general, several aryl bromides 3a could be coupled in excellent yields of targeted biaryls 5 as shown in Table 22 [63].

In addition, the catalytic activity of the pyridine-based palla-dium complexes 99 and 100 was examined for the double cross-coupling between aryl bromide derivatives 3a and 1,4-‐phenylenedi-boronic acid 101 as shown in Scheme 53.

between aryl halides 3a-c and phenylboronic acid 8a in water (Scheme 55). The biaryls 5 was obtained by using pyridine-based palladium complex 105 on mesoporous silica nanospheres in excel-lent yields (Table 24). Catalyst recovery could be done by simple filtration and without the loss of its catalytic activity for 8 consecu-tive catalytic runs [64].
Treatment of the Schiff base 106 of 1,2-phenylenediamine and pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde with palladium acetate in acetonitrile afforded two types of palladium complexes 107 and 108, depending on the molar ratio of the palladium acetate and the ligand as shown in Scheme (56) [65].
The synthesized phosphine-free pyridine-based palladium com-plexes showed high efficiency to catalyze the Suzuki– Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of aryl halides 3a-c and aryl boronic acids 8 in water or water/glycerol as a green media at room temperature (Scheme 57). In general, the biaryls 5 obtained from cross-coupling of aryl bromide 3a and iodides 3b are of excellent yields in water without using of any co-catalyst. However, aryl chlorides 3c showed a variable behavior in coupling with aryl boronic acids 8 in aqueous-glycerol at higher reaction temperature (80 oC) (Table 25) [65].

bridged bis-benzimdazolium dibromide 112 (Scheme 58). Treat-ment of the salt 112 with palladium acetate in dimethylsulfoxide under microwaves irradiation afforded the corresponding pincer-type palladacycle 113 [66, 67].
The catalytic activity of novel pyridine-based palladacycle 113 was performed in the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of aryl bro-mides 3a, iodides 3b and heteroaryl bromides 13 or 114 with aryl boronic acids 8 in different types of solvents including water and in the presence of potassium carbonate as a base (Scheme 59) [66, 67].
Regardless the nature and the position of substituents in boronic acids 8, excellent yields were obtained for the biaryls 5 or het-eroaryl aryls 115 (Table 26).
The reaction of the mixture of PdCl2(CH3CN)2 and NH4 PF6 with bis(imino)pyridine ligands 116 or 117 in dichloromethane at room temperature afforded the corresponding bis(imino)pyridine palladium(II) complexes 118 and 119 (Scheme 60) [68].
The catalytic applicability of complex 119 in the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of aryl bromides 3a and chlorides 3c with arylboronic acids 8 was examined in the presence of K3PO4·3H2O as a base at 80 °C as shown in Scheme (61). Excellent yields of 5 were obtained after only 3 h of coupling reaction, and all aryl bromides 3a that even have an ortho-‐substituted group, reacted effectively to give the desired coupling products in good to excel-lent yields. Also, the cross-coupling of aryl chlorides 3c, which showed to have an electron-‐accepting group, afforded the corre-
sponding biaryls 5 in good yields. In contrast, aryl chlorides 3c have an electron-‐releasing group at meta-position (methoxy group) which afforded the corresponding biaryls 5 in only 25% yield (Ta-ble 27, entry 21), whereas 4-chloroanisole failed to give any cou-pling products under the same reaction conditions (Table 27, entry 19) [68].
The same catalytic system was also used to prepare fluorinated biphenyl liquid crystals 120 in excellent yields (93–95%) by the reaction of 4-‐fluorophenylboronic acid 8, with aryl bromide 3a using different concentrations of surfactants (Scheme 62) [68].
Novel pyridine-based palladium complexes 122 have been de-veloped by Dong-Hwan et al. and proved to be thermally stable and under oxygen or water. Thus, the reactions of pyridylazetidine ligand 121 with palladium chloride, followed by precipitation as perchlorate in methanolic solution afforded the new palladium(II) complex 122, containing functionalized pyridylazetidine as de-picted in Scheme (63) [69].
The newly synthesized complex 122 showed high efficiency as precatalysts for Suzuki cross-coupling reactions in water. Different aryl halides 3a,c undergo coupling with phenylboronic acid 8a in water, potassium carbonate as a base and in the presence of TBAB as a co-catalyst (Scheme 64). Regardless of the identity of the hal-ide used, the catalyst system was successful to obtain the biaryls 5 in good to excellent yields in water (Table 28) [69].

Next, the complexation of the latter ligands with that of palladium acetate afforded the palladium com-plexes 127 and 131 (Scheme 65) [70].

Biaryls 5 were obtained in high yields regardless of the nature of the substituent in the aryl halide (Table 30). It should be noted that polymeric catalyst 136 could be easily recovered and reused for a number of catalytic cycles with no significant loss of its catalytic performance [71].
3.1.2. Pyran-based Palladium Complexes 1,2-Diaminocyclohexane 139 was reacted with 6-‐O-‐mono-
tosyl-‐β-‐CD 138 in dimethylformamide to afford water soluble 6-‐O-‐monotosyl-‐β-‐CD grafted with the diamine 140 as depicted in Scheme (69). Then, the latter ligand 140 was treated with palladium acetate in toluene and stirred at room temperature for 24 h to give the water-soluble diaminocyclohexane palladium-‐β-‐CD complex 141 as a pure yellow powder [72].
The catalytic activity of the water-soluble diaminocyclohexane palladium-‐β-‐CD complex 141 as a catalyst for the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction in water was examined with the reaction of aryl halides 3a,b and various arylboronic acids 8, using the opti-mized reaction conditions (Scheme 70). Generally, the catalyst 141 showed a good catalytic performance giving the targeted biaryls 5 in good to excellent yields (Table 31). It was found that even after
1642 Current Organic Chemistry, 2019, Vol. 23, No. 15 Shaaban et al.
ten catalytic cycles, the activity of diaminocyclohexane palla-dium-‐β-‐CD complex 141 was not lost [72].
Schiff base-Chitosan 142 was mixed with methanol solution of sodium tetrachloropalladate to afford the new chitosan-based palla-dium (II) complex 143 (Scheme 71) [73].
The catalytic activity of the new chitosan-based palladium (II) complex 143 in solvent free synthesis of biaryls 5 via Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions under microwave irradiation was investigated as depicted in Scheme 72. The new chitosan-based palladium (II) precatalyst 143 exhibited high conversions and ex-

On the other hand, aryl iodides 3b gave good yields, whereas aryl chlorides 3c afforded the products 5 in low yields (Table 32). Chitosan-based palladium (II) catalyst 143 could be used effectively for several catalytic runs in Suzuki cross-coupling reactions [73].

polymeric ligand 146 with PdX2(MeCN)2 in ethanol for 12 h af-forded the functionalized polymer palladium complex 147 [74].
This synthesized heterogeneous PS-palladium(II) complex 147 showed high catalytic efficiency for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of halo pyridines 13 and various arylboronic acids 8 to give the corresponding 2-arylpyridines 14 (Scheme 74, Table 33).
The coupled products 14 were obtained in excellent yields at low catalyst loadings under mild reaction conditions. The cross-coupling has been extended for other heterocyclic bromides 148 to give the desired coupling products 149 in good yields (Scheme 75, Table 34). Further, this heterogeneous catalyst 147 showed excel-lent recyclability and reused for 4 cycles with no significant de-crease in its activity [74].

3.3. Six Membered with Three Heteroatom Heterocycles-Based Palladium Complexes
3.3.1. Triazine-based Palladium Complexes A new catalyst 151 containing triazine-based nano-silica poly-
mer incorporated Pd nanoparticle has been described by Isfahani et al. through immobilization of palladium on the dendritic polymer 150 which hasbeen achieved by mixing the polymer with palladium chloride/sodium chloride mixture for 24 h at 60 oC, followed by treatment with sodium acetate as shown in Scheme (76) [75].
This new catalyst 151 exhibited high catalytic activity in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of aryl halides 3a,c with arylbo-ronic acids 8 thermally and under microwaves irradiation (Scheme 77). The optimized reaction conditions using dimethylformamide (DMF)/water mixture in the presence of K2CO3 as a base and 0.006 mol % of catalyst loading, gave the targeted products 5 in high to excellent yields, under thermal as well as microwave conditions (Table 35) [75].
Moreover, the triazine-based polymeric catalyst 151 was easily recovered from the reaction mixture and reused with no significant

loss of its activity. ICP analysis pointed out that palladium leaching from the catalyst was only in trace amounts in the first 2 runs [75].
Treatment of 4,4′,4“-‐(1,3,5-‐triazine-‐2,4,6-‐triyl)tribenzaldehyde 152 with 1,4-‐diaminobenzene 153 in dioxane/ acetic acid mixture afforded the corresponding ligand 154 as shown in Scheme 77. The latter reacted with palladium acetate in dichloromethane at room temperature for 8 h gave the new heterogeneous complex 155 which is low cost and a thermally stable catalyst (Scheme 78) [76].
The catalytic activity of the reusable heterogeneous triazine-based palladium complex 155 in Suzuki-‐Miyaura cross-coupling reaction at room temperature has been examined (Scheme 79). Thus, a variety of aryl halides 3a-c and arylboronic acids 8 in an aqueous medium were allowed to react in the presence of K2CO3 base, at room temperature for 2 hrs, to give excellent yields (in case of bromides 3a and iodides 3b) of the biaryls 5 as shown in Table 36 [76].
4. BENZO-FUSED FIVE-MEMBERED HETEROCYCLES-BASED PALLADIUM COMPLEXES
4.1. Indole-Based Palladium Complexes A reusable heterogenous iron oxide immobilized isatin-based
palladium complex 159 has been developed by Sara et al. The sup-
ported Pd catalyst 159 was obtained by the reaction of palladium (ΙΙ) acetate with the synthesized isatin-Schiff base-‐γ-‐Fe2O3 158 in methanol as shown in Scheme (80) [77].
The synthesized recyclable magnetic catalyst 159 was used in Suzuki-‐Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of various arylhalides 3a-c and phenylboronic acid 8a under solvent-free conditions (Scheme 81). The catalyst 159 exhibited excellent activity with aryl iodides 3b regardless of the nature of the substituent, whereas good to ex-cellent yields were obtained in case of aryl bromides 3a and chlo-rides 3c (Table 37) [77].
4.2. Benzothiazole-Based Palladium Complexes
Recently, we have reported the synthesis of benzthiazolyl based Palladium (II)-complex 163 by the reaction of benzyl derivative of 2-benzothiazolyl-oxime 162 with equimolar amount of sodium tetrachloropalladate in methanol at room temperature (Scheme 82). The catalytic activity of the synthesized precatalyst 163 in the Su-zuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction was applied and examined in the synthesis of novel candidates, 3-(5-arylbenzofuran-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole derivatives 165 (Scheme 83). Thus, Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of the deactivated 3-(5-bromobenzofuran-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole 164, with arylboronic acids 8 in the presence of the benzothiazole-oxime-based Palladium(II) complex 163 was found

to be efficient for Suzuki-Miyaura reactions in aqueous medium, under thermal heating and microwave-irradiation conditions to afford the corresponding coupling products 165 in good to excellent yields (Table 38) [34].
The same catalyst 163 has been used in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of 2-acetyl-5-bromothiophene 166 with deacti-vated and activated aryl(heteroaryl)boronic acids 8 were carried out under two heating modes i.e., thermal heating and microwave irra-diation conditions as shown in Scheme (84) and Table 39. The cross-coupling reactions afforded 5-aryl(heteroaryl)-2-acetylthio-phene 167 under thermal, as well as microwaves irradiation condi-tions [35].
Furthermore, catalyst 163 has been used in Suzuki cross-coupling reactions of 4,2 disubstituted-1,3-thiazole 168 with deacti-vated and activated aryl(heteroaryl)boronic acids 8 were carried out
under two heating conditions; thermally and microwave irradiation conditions, as illustrated in Scheme 85 and Table 40 [35].
Although, both the coupling candidates 5-bromothiophene de-rivatives 166 and 168 have a bromine atom attached to the thio-phene moiety, the reactivity of the thiazole containing candidate 168 was clearly different from that of 166 under microwave irradia-tion condition in an aqueous medium.

174 175 Scheme 87. Synthesis of complex 175. 4.3. Benzimidazole-Based
Recently, a new benzimidazole-based palladium(II) complex 175 was synthesized by the reaction of ligand 174 with PdCl2(PhCN)2 as shown in Scheme (87). The activity of the new complex 175 as a catalyst for Suzuki cross-coupling reactions was
evaluated in ionic liquid at ambient temperature. The reported new catalytic system was reused for cross-coupling reactions and recy-cled for 6 runs. Using optimized reaction conditions (Scheme 88) good to excellent yields were obtained (Table 42). In addition, the recyclability of the catalyst showed no much loss in its activity [78].
1654 Current Organic Chemistry, 2019, Vol. 23, No. 15 Shaaban et al.
The synthesis of benzimidazole-based palladium (II)-complex 178 has been described by the reaction of benzyl derivative of 2-benzimidazolyl-oxime 177 with equimolar amount of sodium tetrachloropalladate in methanol at room temperature (Scheme 89). Also, palladium complex has benzimidazole ligand 179 which was prepared as illustrated in Scheme (90) via the reaction of equimolar amount of sodium tetrachloropalladate with ligand 176. The synthe-sized precatalyst 178 has been applied for catalysis in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of phenylboronic acids 8a and aryl and heteroaryl halides 3a and 114, respectively (Scheme 89, Table 43) [37].
4.4. Benzoxazole-based Hong et al. reported the synthesis of a novel benzoxazole-based
palladium complex 181 via cyclopalladation of the ligand 180, using palladium acetate in acetic acid under nitrogen atmosphere as shown in Scheme (91) [79].
Also, another new benzoxazole-based palladium complex 183 has been synthesized by the reaction of 2-aryl substituted naphthox-azole 182 with lithium tetrachloro palladate in methanol and in the presence of sodium acetate as a proton scavenger at ordinary tem-perature (Scheme 92) [79].

a higher catalyst loading was used.
The catalytic ability of the new complex 181 was studied in Su-zuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of various aryl and heteroaryl
halides 3 and 114, respectively and phenyl boronic acid 8a in water and potassium phosphate as a base (Scheme 93) [79].
The cross-coupling products were obtained in good to excellent yields in all cases regardless of the nature of the substituent in the aryl bromide 3. However, coupling with heteroaryl bromides 114, provided the products in moderate yields. In case of inactivated aryl chlorides 3c, the present catalyst 181 showed low activity for the cross-coupling even when high catalyst loading was used (Table 44). Activated aryl chlorides afforded 65% yield of the coupling product using 1 mol% of complex 181 (entry 15) [79].
5. BENZO-FUSED SIX-MEMBERED HETEROCYCLES-BASED PALLADIUM COMPLEXES
5.1. Benzopyran-Based
Synthesis of 4H-chromen-4-one-based palladium complex 185 has been reported by Kumar, S. and Ahmed, N. A via the reaction of the ligand 184 with PdCl2(PhCN)2 as shown in Scheme (94). Using this complex 185 as a precatalyst, a series of chromen-4-one derivatives 188 was obtained with excellent yields (81%-95%) by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction under microwave irradia-tion, using TBAB as a co-catalyst (Scheme 95) [80].
5.2. Quinoline--Based Palladium Complexes
2-Quinolinealdoxime 190 was prepared from 2-quinoline-aldehyde 189 through the condensation reaction with hydroxy-lamine as shown in scheme 96. Treatment of latter with sodium tetrachloropalladate in methanol afforded the corresponding palla-dium complex 191 at room temperature (Scheme 96) [38].
Next, the catalytic activity of the quinolone-based palladium complex 191 in aqueous Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings of 5-

bromobenzofuran derivative 192 with arylboronic acid 8 under microwave condition and in the presence of Cs2CO3 as a base was investigated (Scheme 97, Table 45). It was found that the cross-coupling proceeded by using catalyst complex 191 with very high TON and TOF values, and the reaction products 193 were obtained in good to excellent yields (Table 45) [38].
5.3. Phenanthroline-Based Palladium Complexes
Lutfiye et al. reported the use of phenanthroline derivatives 194 as ligand for ionic palladium complexes 195-201 with a variety of anions. Mono-palladium complexes 195-199 and poly-palladium complexes 200 and 201 were synthesized as shown in Schemes (98-100) [81].

The catalytic activity of the synthesized phenanthroline-based
palladium complex 201 in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reac-tions of various aryl chlorides 3c with phenylboronic acid 8 in aqueous DMF and in the presence of Cs2CO3 as a base was investi-gated (Scheme 101). A comparative study between mono-metallic 195-199 and poly-metallic complexes 200 and 201 showed nearly identical behavior in the catalysis of Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions [81] (Table 46).
CONCLUSION
The Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling (SMC), has become a stan-dard procedure for various implementations, extending from phar-maceuticals to materials science. The syntheses of the valuable biaryls and substituted aromatic structures that constitute the cores of various natural products, ligands, pharmaceuticals and polymers are a target of many researchers. On the other hand, cross-coupling reactions with transition-metal-catalysts are a considerably useful synthetic route for the synthesis of biaryls via C-C bonds formation. In this review, we explored the most recent advances in the synthe-sis and the utilities of Pd-heterocyclic-complexes in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions under green conditions. All cited
articles supported the view that the use of these catalysts in SMC for the synthesis of biaryls under mild conditions helps to speed up the reactions, besides they are low cost and enhanced the yields. Moreover, the newly developed catalysts showed high recyclability of more than six times without losing their activity in the coupling reactions.
