- A palladium-bisoxazoline supported catalyst for selective synthesis of aryl esters and aryl amides: Via carbonylative coupling reactions
-
The catalytic synthesis of aryl esters and amides has been successfully achieved in the presence of the efficient palladium-bisoxazoline supported on Merrifield's resin (Pd-BOX-M). The palladium heterogeneous catalyst was prepared and characterized using various spectroscopic techniques. A bisoxazoline ligand having a suitable functional group (BOX-OH) was first synthesized, characterized, chemically supported on Merrifield's resin, and finally coordinated to palladium(ii) chloride. The catalytic activity and the recycling ability of the new palladium supported catalyst have been investigated in the alkoxycarbonylation and aminocarbonylation of various aryl iodides using different alkyl and aromatic alcohols and amines as nucleophiles. The palladium heterogeneous catalyst demonstrated excellent catalytic activity and very high recycling ability in the above two carbonylation reactions. The palladium heterogeneous catalysts showed an excellent stability under carbon monoxide and under the experimental conditions.

- A Fast and General Route to Ketones from Amides and Organolithium Compounds under Aerobic Conditions: Synthetic and Mechanistic Aspects
-
We report that the nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction of aliphatic and (hetero)aromatic amides by organolithium reagents proceeds quickly (20 s reaction time), efficiently, and chemoselectively with a broad substrate scope in the environmentally responsible cyclopentyl methyl ether, at ambient temperature and under air, to provide ketones in up to 93 % yield with an effective suppression of the notorious over-addition reaction. Detailed DFT calculations and NMR investigations support the experimental results. The described methodology was proven to be amenable to scale-up and recyclability protocols. Contrasting classical procedures carried out under inert atmospheres, this work lays the foundation for a profound paradigm shift of the reactivity of carboxylic acid amides with organolithiums, with ketones being straightforwardly obtained by simply combining the reagents under aerobic conditions and with no need of using previously modified or pre-activated amides, as recommended.

- Remarkably Efficient Iridium Catalysts for Directed C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H Borylation of Diverse Classes of Substrates
-
Here we describe the discovery of a new class of C-H borylation catalysts and their use for regioselective C-H borylation of aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic systems. The new catalysts have Ir-C(thienyl) or Ir-C(furyl) anionic ligands instead of the diamine-type neutral chelating ligands used in the standard C-H borylation conditions. It is reported that the employment of these newly discovered catalysts show excellent reactivity and ortho-selectivity for diverse classes of aromatic substrates with high isolated yields. Moreover, the catalysts proved to be efficient for a wide number of aliphatic substrates for selective C(sp3)-H bond borylations. Heterocyclic molecules are selectively borylated using the inherently elevated reactivity of the C-H bonds. A number of late-stage C-H functionalization have been described using the same catalysts. Furthermore, we show that one of the catalysts could be used even in open air for the C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H borylations enabling the method more general. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the active catalytic intermediate is the Ir(bis)boryl complex, and the attached ligand acts as bidentate ligand. Collectively, this study underlines the discovery of new class of C-H borylation catalysts that should find wide application in the context of C-H functionalization chemistry.

- Amide Effects in C?H Activation: Noncovalent Interactions with L-Shaped Ligand for meta Borylation of Aromatic Amides
-
A new concept for the meta-selective borylation of aromatic amides is described. It has been demonstrated that while esters gave para borylations, amides lead to meta borylations. For achieving high meta selectivity, an L-shaped bifunctional ligand has been employed and engages in an O???K noncovalent interaction with the oxygen atom of the moderately distorted amide carbonyl group. This interaction provides exceptional control for meta C?H activation/borylation.
