Synthesis and reductive elimination of arylPd(II) trifluoromethyl complexes: A remarkable concentration effect on chemoselectivity

Reductive elimination from Pd(II) aryl trifluoromethyl complexes is a challenging and elusive step which is accompanied by a number of kinetically more favorable side reactions giving rising to a complex mixture. We report herein the synthesis and isolation of several arylPd(II) trifluoromethyl complexes (2a-c) and study their electronic structures, photophysical properties and reductive elimination reactivities. A remarkable concentration effect on chemoselectivity is observed for thermal decomposition of (Xantphos)Pd(II)(Ar)(CF3) (2c) that favors the formation of Ar-CF3 at lower concentrations, but gives increasingly more Ar-Ar homocoupling product to a dominant extent as the concentration of 2c increases. This is solid evidence for the involvement of an intermolecular Ar/CF3 ligand exchange/Ar-Ar reductive elimination mechanism that has been proposed based on DFT computational studies. The interplay between theory and experiment provides valuable insights into the mechanism and kinetics of the key elementary reaction of reductive elimination at Pd(II), and may thus prompt the design of more efficient Pd-mediated nucleophilic trifluoromethylation reactions.

Trifluoromethylation is of significant importance for the synthesis of many small molecules vital for medicinal and agrochemical research. The importance of the CF3 group as well as the related synthetic challenges is so evident that many reagents have been reported for the synthesis of trifluoromethylated compounds, but these typical reagents are expensive and the methods for preparing them are difficult. Here, we report a new scalable and operationally simple trifluoromethylation reaction using sodium trifluoroacetate as a reagent and Au-modified ZnO as a photocatalyst under visible light irradiation. The reaction proceeds via trifluoromethylation of a broad range of aryl halides, arylboronic acids, and arene and heteroarene substrates. Some pharmaceutical and agrochemical compounds have been trifluoromethylated directly to demonstrate the applicability of the method.
Air-Sensitive Photoredox Catalysis Performed under Aerobic Conditions in Gel Networks

In this work, we demonstrate that useful C-C bond-forming photoredox catalysis can be performed in air using easily prepared gel networks as reaction media to give similar results as are obtained under inert atmosphere conditions. These reactions are completely inhibited in homogeneous solution in air. However, the supramolecular fibrillar gel networks confine the reactants and block oxygen diffusion, allowing air-sensitive catalytic activity under ambient conditions. We investigate the mechanism of this remarkable protection, focusing on the boundary effect in the self-assembled supramolecular gels that enhances the rates of productive reactions over diffusion-controlled quenching of excited states. Our observations suggest the occurrence of triplet-sensitized chemical reactions in the gel networks within the compartmentalized solvent pools held between the nanofibers. The combination of enhanced viscosity and added interfaces in supramolecular gel media seems to be a key factor in facilitating the reactions under aerobic conditions.
