- Synthesis of 6-acyl phenanthridines by oxidative radical decarboxylation-cyclization of α-oxocarboxylates and isocyanides
-
A silver catalysed synthesis of 6-acyl phenanthridines by oxidative radical decarboxylation-cyclization of α-oxocarboxylates and isocyanides was developed. This reaction provided a novel method to realize C1 insertion via a radical process and various functional groups were well-tolerated. The Royal Society of Chemistry.

- Biaryl and aryl ketone synthesis via Pd-catalyzed decarboxylase coupling of carboxylate salts with aryl triflates
-
A bimetallic catalyst system has been developed that for the first time allows the decarboxylative crosscoupling of aryl and acyl carboxylates with aryl triflates. In contrast to aryl halides, these electrophiles give rise to non-coordinating anions as byproducts, which do not interfere with the decarboxylation step that leads to the generation of the carbon nucleophilic crosscoupling partner. As a result, the scope of carboxylate substrates usable in this transformation was extended from ortho-substituted or otherwise activated derivatives to a broad range of ortho-, meta-, and para-substituted aromatic carboxylates. Two alternative protocols have been optimized, one involving heating the substrates in the presence of CuI/1,10- phenanthroline (10-15 mol %) and PdI2/phosphine (23 mol%) in NMP for 1-24 h, the other involving CuI/l,10-phenanthroline (615mol%) and PdBr2/Tol-BINAP (2 mol % ) in NMP using microwave heating for 5-10 min. While most products are accessible using standard heating, the use of microwave irradiation was found to be beneficial especially for the conversion of non-activated carboxylates with functionalized aryl triflates. The synthetic utility of the transformation is demonstrated with 48 examples showing the scope and limitations of both protocols. In mechanistic studies, the special role of microwave irradiation is elucidated, and further perspectives of decarboxylase crosscouplings are discussed.

- Synthesis of ketones from α-oxocarboxylates and aryl bromides by Cu/Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) The power of two metals: A Pd/Cu catalyst system mediates the in situ formation of acyl nucleophiles by decarboxylation of readily accessible and stable salts of α-oxocarboxylic acids and their cross-coupling with aryl or heteroaryl bromides to give ketones. The reaction may be usedin the presence of many functional groups and provides good yields.
