Nickel-Catalyzed 1,2-Diarylation of Alkenyl Carboxylates: A Gateway to 1,2,3-Trifunctionalized Building Blocks

A nickel-catalyzed conjunctive cross-coupling of alkenyl carboxylic acids, aryl iodides, and aryl/alkenyl boronic esters is reported. The reaction delivers the desired 1,2-diarylated and 1,2-arylalkenylated products with excellent regiocontrol. To demonstrate the synthetic utility of the method, a representative product is prepared on gram scale and then diversified to eight 1,2,3-trifunctionalized building blocks using two-electron and one-electron logic. Using this method, three routes toward bioactive molecules are improved in terms of yield and/or step count. This method represents the first example of catalytic 1,2-diarylation of an alkene directed by a native carboxylate group.

Borontribromide-mediated C-C bond formation in cyclic ketones: A transition metal free approach

Borontribromide (BBr3) is a well-known demethylating agent. The current investigation was focused on a new application of borontribromide as a C-C bond forming agent in cyclic ketones. In this study, borontribromide mediated C-C bond formation reactions of tetralones, chromenone, thiochromenone and indanones were explored. A methoxy group containing ketones showed selective C-C bond formation reaction instead of demethylation of the methoxy group. MM2 steric energy calculations for the final products showed that the reaction favored the formation of exo- or endo-cyclic double bond containing products, depending upon their low MM2 steric energy in a specific frame structure, as observed in X-ray crystallography. A comprehensive crystallographic and pi-stacking analysis of product 10a demonstrated the formation of 10a as an enantiomeric mixture, and its centre of inversion was stabilized by a set of three unique pi-pi interactions.
