Abstract
In continuation of our recent research on introducing natural asphalt as a new carbonious, eco-friendly, highly economical support, and also in addition to our plan to develop its application in heterogeneous catalyst chemistry, palladium grafted on natural asphalt sulfonate (Na [Pd-NAS]), was prepared and characterized using usual spectroscopy techniques. This new carbon-based heterogeneous nanocatalyst was successfully applied as an efficient catalyst for the Suzuki, Stille and Heck reactions under mild and sustainable conditions. The reaction of various aryl halides with triphenyltin chloride, phenylboronic acid or n-butyl acrylate provided the corresponding products with moderate to good yields. Na [Pd-NAS] was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma, thermogravimetric analysis techniques and N2 adsorption–desorption measurement. SEM image illustrated that the Na [Pd-NAS] has vermicular and flaky shapes. According to the IUPAC classiication, the sample exhibited IV type curves. More importantly, this ligand-free catalyst is stable under the reaction conditions. Besides, the catalyst was separated by simple filtration and reused for the several times without any deterioration in its activity.

Introduction
During the few past decades, the development of novel and efficient nanocatalysts has received much attention, and accordingly, extensive research has been performed to provide environmentally friendly and reusable catalysts [1, 2]. In this regard, various solid supports such as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) [3, 4]zeolites[5, 6], silica[7, 8], carbon nanotubes [9, 10] and polymers [11, 12] have been used for the heterogenization of catalysts. Recently, due to the unique properties of carbon materials such as high surface area and chemical inertness, it has been received special attention as a support for the metal catalysts [13,14,15].
Among the metal catalysts, palladium has shown high catalytic activity, especially in coupling reactions [16,17,18,19]. Cross-coupling reactions, such as Heck, Stille and Suzuki reactions, have been used as significant procedures in modern synthetic organic chemistry in order to prepare natural products[20, 21], pharmaceuticals[22], agrochemicals[23], herbicides and biologically active compounds [24, 25]. Thus, it is very important to provide new catalysts with high activity and desirable properties. Therefore, awning to green chemistry content, we employed a new carbon material (natural asphalt) as a novel and efficient support catalyst in the formation of C–C bonds through Suzuki, Heck and Stille coupling reactions. It is worth mentioning that natural asphalt is an inexpensive and non-toxic mineral material whose largest mines are located in the USA, Canada and Iran.
Although the structural determination of natural asphalt is difficult, analyses show a high percentage (more than 80%wt) of carbon exists in it structure [26, 27]. Natural asphalt can greatly affect the sulfonation reactions. Besides, this material was firstly investigated by our research team as a support in order to synthesis of catalyst. Natural asphalt can be transformed into an active, efficient and reusable catalyst support after functionalization [28, 29].
Herein, we report Na[Pd-NAS] as a versatile and reusable nanocatalyst for various C–C coupling reactions. Na[Pd-NAS] has some specific advantages such as easy preparation and separation, high chemical and physical stability, and being recyclable and environmentally friendly. Moreover, the mentioned nanocatalyst illustrated good to excellent yields of the desired products.
Results and discussion
Herein, we using natural asphalt, synthesized, identified and introduced Na[Pd-NAS] as a green and inexpensive substance for the C–C coupling reactions. Na[Pd-NAS] was characterized by FT-IR, SEM, TGA, EDS, ICP, BET and XRD techniques comprehensively.
Catalyst preparation
Initially, natural asphalt sulfonate (NAS) and Na-NAS were prepared according to our newly reported procedure [27]. In order to prepare Na[Pd-NAS], Na-NAS (0.5 g) was dispersed in ethanol and, then, mixed with 0.25 g of palladium acetate, which was then allowed to reflux for 20 h. Afterward, NaBH4 (4 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture and stirred for 2 h. The color of the reaction mixture changed from brown to black, which indicates to reduce the Pd(II) [30]. The obtained solid (Na[Pd-NAS]) was filtered, washed with ethanol and, then, dried at 60 °C in oven (Scheme 1).
Characterization of Na [Pd-NAS]
As shown in Fig. 1, SEM image of Na[Pd-NAS] illustrates that prepared nanoparticles were formed in approximately vermicular and flaky shapes with sizes between 11 and 59 nm.
The structure of the Na[Pd-NAS] was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). According to Fig. 2, the peaks of the XRD spectrum of Na[Pd-NAS] at 2ϴ = 24.23°, 28.42°, 40.05°, 49.02° and 58.38° were related to Pd that confirmed the catalyst was synthesized successfully [31].
The FT-IR spectrum of natural asphalt (Fig. 3a), shown a pick at about 3400 cm−1 which can be attributed to the surface hydroxyl and amine groups. Also, the absorbing bands at about 1450–1640 cm−1, corresponding to the aromatic rings in all the samples. In the FT-IR spectrum of natural asphalt sulfonate (Fig. 3b), the bands at 615 cm−1 and 900–1200 cm−1 correspond to the symmetric and asymmetric O=S=O vibrations. Sulfonation of natural asphalt by concentrated sulfuric acid was proved by these bands. According to the FT-IR spectra (Fig. 3c), shifting some bands to lower frequencies, for example, S=O and C–O bonds indicate that anchoring of palladium onto the surface of natural asphalt sulfonate is successfully done.
Figure 4 shows the N2 adsorption–desorption isotherm of natural asphalt and Na [Pd-NAS]. According to the IUPAC classification, the sample exhibited type IV curves. Based on Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), when the Pd was grafted on the natural asphalt, the BET specific surface area decreased from 10.49 to 5.70 m2 /g. Besides, as shown in Table 1, the average pore diameter and pore volume of Na[Pd-NAS] are lower than natural asphalt. On the basis of this result, the anchoring of palladium on the inner surface of the pores is well verified.
The elemental microanalysis of the synthesized catalyst (Na [Pd-NAS]) was performed using the EDS technique. The EDX spectrum of Na[Pd-NAS] is illustrated in Fig. 5 which confirms the presence of Pd in the nanocatalyst, Furthermore, the EDS mapping (Fig. 6) was used for the distributions of C, S, O, N, and Pd in the Na[Pd-NAS] structure. Moreover, the exact amount of palladium in catalyst which was obtained by ICP technique was found out to be 1.7 × 10−3 mol g−1.
The thermal stability of Na[Pd-NAS] was investigated using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The TGA curve of Na[Pd-NAS] is shown in Fig. 7 which illustrates the thermal decomposition occurred in three steps. Weight lossed (6.08%) under 300°C, is due to removal of adsorbed organic solvents and water of the surface of the catalyst and in the two and Three steps, the weight loss (19.10 %) occurred between 300-700 °C is related to the decomposition of some organic groups on the surface of the catalyst such as R-SO3, polycyclic rings etc. As the result of this analysis, Na[Pd-NAS] has high tolerance at high temperatures and it is suitable to perform reactions that require high temperatures.
Catalytic studies
After the synthesis and characterization of the Na[Pd-NAS], the catalytic activity was explored in C–C cross-coupling reactions of various aryl halides with phenylboronic acid, triphenyltin chloride and butyl acrylate. In our primary experiments, Suzuki–Miyaura and Stille coupling reactions between iodobenzene with phenylboronic acid and triphenyltin chloride (phenyl source) were chosen as the model reactions. The results of the optimization conditions are shown in Table 2, according to which the model reactions did not occur in the absence of the catalyst (Table 2, entry 1). The results in Table 2 indicate that 0.010 g of Na[Pd-NAS] as a catalyst is required for the completion of the model reactions (Table 2, entry 3) and a higher amount of catalyst had no significant change in the reaction time or yield (Table 2, entry 4). Moreover, the progress of this reactions in different solvents was examined, and notably, the best results were obtained in ethanol. Based on Table 2, the best results for two coupling reactions were obtained in EtOH using Cs2CO3 as the base at 80 °C. The use of ethanol as a green, low-cost and available solvent as well as mild reaction temperature are among the advantages of these reactions.
The remarkable point is that these reactions were tested in the presence of Na[Pd(II)-NAS] catalyst before reduction of the Pd(II) to Pd (0), and significantly, we observed that no reaction took place.
Suzuki–Miyaura and Stille reactions. Subsequently, under the optimized reaction conditions, applications the application of the Na[Pd-NAS] was evaluated in the C-C coupling reactions of Suzuki–Miyaura and Stille. The obtained results are listed in Tables 3 and 4. As expected, in these reactions, aryl iodides gave the best yields in shorter reaction times, as compared to aryl bromides (Table 3, entries 1–4). Furthermore, aryl halides with para-substituted have shorter times than those at ortho-substituted, due to steric hindrance which has a negative effect on these reactions.
The proposed mechanism for the Suzuki and Stille reactions in the presence of Na[Pd-NAS] is shown in Scheme 2.
In the next study, the ability of Na[Pd-NAS] was investigated for C–C coupling reaction through the Heck reaction. Therefore, the reaction of iodobenzene with n-butyl acrylate was selected as the model reaction. The results of investigating the effects of different parameters on the reaction model are summarized in Table 5. In this sense, in order to find the best amounts of the catalyst, 0 to 15 mg of the catalyst was used to catalyze the model reaction at 110 °C in the presence of Cs2CO3 and DMF as the solvent. The best result was obtained using 10 mg of Na[Pd-NAS] (Table 5, entries 1–4). Moreover, the effect of various solvents such as EtOH, H2O, PhCH3, DMSO and DMF on the progress of model reaction was studied (Table 5, entries 4–8). The results shown that the reaction progress in dimethylformamide (DMF) as the solvent is higher than other solvents. In order to find out the effect of the base for this reaction, the model reaction was evaluated in the presence of KOH, NaOH, K2CO3 and Cs2CO3 (Table 5, entries 9–11). Cesium carbonate (Cs2CO3) was chosen as the best base among them. In the next step, the influence of temperature on the progress of reaction was studied in a range from 40 to 110 °C (Table 5, entries 12–14). It is worth mentioning that the best results were obtained at 110 °C (Table 5, entry 3).
After optimization of the reaction conditions, the coupling reactions of various aryl halides with n‐butyl in presence of Na[Pd-NAS] were investigated. The obtained results are listed in Table 6.
Catalytic cycle for Heck reaction in presence of Na[Pd-NAS] was demonstrated in Scheme 3.
Reusability catalyst
The reusability of Na[Pd-NAS] was investigated in the synthesis of products 2a, 3a and 4a under the optimized conditions. The obtained results are shown in Figure 8. In this respect, after completion of the reaction, Na[Pd-NAS] was separated from the reaction and, then, washed several times with ethyl acetate. Afterward, Na[Pd-NAS] was dried at 50 °C and, then, reused for the next run. The catalytic activity was studied for at least six successive runs, and significantly, we witnessed similar results (Figure 8), referring to the reusability of this catalyst.
Characterization of recycled catalyst
In order to show the structural stability of Na[Pd-NAS] after recycling, the recovered catalyst was characterized by SEM, XRD and FT-IR techniques (Figs. 9, 10, 11). An SEM image of the recovered catalyst is shown in Fig. 9. According to the SEM result, nanoparticles have slightly aggregated during recycling and reusing (after run 6). Moreover, the FT-IR spectrum of the recycled catalyst after 6 run showed the strong bonding of palladium with sulfonated natural asphalt (Fig. 10). Besides, the XRD pattern of Na[Pd-NAS] remains almost constant after the recovery test, suggesting that the Na[Pd-NAS] has the characteristics of an excellent recyclable heterogeneous nanocatalyst (Fig. 11).

Conclusions
In conclusion, we have successfully fabricated a ligand-free heterogeneous catalyst of palladium on the surface of natural asphalt sulfonate (Na[Pd-NAS]). After characterization of Na[Pd-NAS] by several techniques such as FT-IR, TGA, ICP, XRD, SEM, EDS and BET, its catalytic application was considered for the C–C band formation such as Suzuki, Heck and Stille reactions. Na[Pd-NAS] shows high catalytic activity with good recyclability in the described reactions. Moreover, it can be regarded as a catalyst which can be thermally stable up to 300 °C. Furthermore, the most significant advantage of this catalyst is the use of natural asphalt as a green, inexpensive and available material as a support for organic transformations.
