- Bulky N-Heterocyclic-Carbene-Coordinated Palladium Catalysts for 1,2-Addition of Arylboron Compounds to Carbonyl Compounds
-
The synthesis of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols by the 1,2-addition of arylboronic acids or boronates to carbonyl compounds, including unactivated ketones, using novel bulky yet flexible N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-coordinated 2,6-di(pentan-3-yl)aniline (IPent)-based cyclometallated palladium complexes (CYPs) as catalysts is reported. The PhS-IPent-CYP-catalyzed reactions are efficient at low catalyst loadings (0.02–0.3 mol% Pd), and the exceptional catalytic activity for 1,2-addition is attributed to the steric bulk of the NHC ligand. These reactions can yield a wide range of functionalized benzylic alcohols that are difficult to synthesize by classical protocols using highly active organomagnesium or lithium reagents.

- AlCl3 catalyzed coupling of: N-benzylic sulfonamides with 2-substituted cyanoacetates through carbon-nitrogen bond cleavage
-
A new cross-coupling reaction of N-benzylic sulfonamides with 2-substituted cyanoacetates for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzylbenzene was reported. In the presence of AlCl3, a broad range of N-benzylic sulfonamides reacted smoothly with 2-substituted cyanoacetates to afford structurally diverse benzylbenzenes in moderate to excellent yields. The conversion could be enlarged to gram-scale efficiently. The practicability of this approach was further manifested in the synthesis of a related bioactive agent with high anti-inflammatory activity.

- Palladium-catalyzed arylation of aldehydes with bromo-substituted 1,3-diaryl-imidazoline carbene ligand
-
The combination of 0 valent palladium precursor and bromo-substituted 1,3-diaryl-imidazoline carbene ligand precursor such as 1-(2-bromophenyl)-3-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-imidazolinium chloride 1a exhibited high catalytic activity for the 1,2-addition of arylboronic acids to aldehydes including aqueous formaldehyde.

- Palladium-imidazolinium carbene-catalyzed arylation of aldehydes with arylboronic acids in water
-
The catalytic arylation of aldehydes with arylboronic acids in only water was found to be achieved using the palladium/thioether-imidazolinium chloride system in good to excellent yields. This catalytic process showed high tolerance for a broad range of substrates, giving a variety of carbinol derivatives with 2.0-3.0 mol % of the catalyst.

- Addition reaction of arylboronic acids to aldehydes and α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds catalyzed by conventional palladium complexes in the presence of chloroform
-
Arylboronic acids react with aldehydes and α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds in the presence of a base and a catalytic amount of a palladium(0) complex with chloroform, affording the corresponding addition products in good yields, and chiral benzhydrol was obtained with up to 43% e.e. using (S,S)-bppm as a ligand. General palladium complexes have no catalytic activity without chloroform. Because chloroform is essential for this reaction, these reactions would be promoted by dichloromethylpalladium(II) species.

- Palladium-catalyzed addition of arylboronic acids to aldehydes
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) Arylboronic acids react with aldehydes in the presence of a base and a catalytic amount of a palladium(0) complex with chloroform, affording the corresponding secondary alcohols in good yields. General palladium complexes have no catalytic activity without chloroform. Chloroform is essential for this reaction, and palladium complex that was prepared from Pd(PPh3)4 with CHCl3 showed good catalytic acitivty as well.

- Direct observation of aldehyde insertion into rhodium-aryl and -alkoxide complexes
-
Several organorhodium(I) complexes of the general formula (PPh3)2(CO)RhR (R = p-tolyl, o-tolyl, Me) were isolated and were shown to insert aryl aldehydes into the aryl-rhodium(I) bond. Under nonaqueous conditions, these reactions provided ketones in good yield. The stability of the arylrhodium(I) complexes allowed these reactions to be run also in mixtures of THF and water. In this solvent system, diarylmethanols were generated exclusively. Mechanistic studies support the formation of ketone and diarylmethanol by insertion of aldehyde into the rhodium-aryl bond and subsequent β-hydride elimination or hydrolysis to form diaryl ketone or diarylmethanol products. Kinetic isotope effects and the formation of diarylmethanols in THF/water mixtures are inconsistent with oxidative addition of the acyl carbon-hydrogen bond and reductive elimination to form ketone. Moreover, the intermediate rhodium diarylmethoxide formed from insertion of aldehyde was observed directly during the reaction. Its structure was confirmed by independent synthesis. This complex undergoes β-hydrogen elimination to form a ketone. This alkoxide also reacts with a second aldehyde to form esters by insertion and subsequent β-hydrogen elimination. Thus, reactions of arylrhodium complexes with an excess of aldehyde formed esters by a double insertion and β-hydrogen elimination sequence.
