A hydrogen bond donor solvent assisted (radio)halogenation and deuteration of organoborons has been developed. The reactions exhibited high functional group tolerance and needed only an ambient atmosphere. Most importantly, compared to literature methods, our conditions are more consistent with the principals of green chemistry (e.g., metal-free, strong oxidant-free, more straightforward conditions).

While halogenation is of key importance in synthesis and radioimaging, the currently available repertoire is largely designed to introduce a single halogen per molecule. This report makes the selective introduction of several different halogens accessible. Showcased here is the privileged stability of nontoxic aryl germanes under harsh fluorination conditions (that allow selective fluorination in their presence), while displaying superior reactivity and functional-group tolerance in electrophilic iodinations and brominations, outcompeting silanes or boronic esters under rapid and additive-free conditions. Mechanistic experiments and computational studies suggest a concerted electrophilic aromatic substitution as the underlying mechanism.

The C–O bonds are kinetically inert in cross-coupling reactions compared to those of carbon–halogen bonds. Thus, developing methodologies for the activation of C–O bonds in cross-coupling reactions remains a major challenge. We disclose an unprecedented nickel mediated cross-coupling of carbamates with silylmagnesium reagents that does not require the expensive silylboranes. Silylmagnesium reagents were prepared from either silyllithium or silyl iodides. This methodology is distinguished by the synthesis of trimethylsilyl coupled product and its synthetic applications. Kinetic studies and radical clock experiments revealed the rate-limiting C–O bond cleavage, half order with respect to the catalyst and a non-radical transition state.
