- Reductive Molybdenum-Catalyzed Direct Amination of Boronic Acids with Nitro Compounds
-
The synthesis of aromatic amines is of utmost importance in a wide range of chemical contexts. We report a direct amination of boronic acids with nitro compounds to yield (hetero)aryl amines. The novel combination of a dioxomolybdenum(VI) catalyst and triphenylphosphine as inexpensive reductant has revealed to be decisive to achieve this new C?N coupling. Our methodology has proven to be scalable, air and moisture tolerant, highly chemoselective and engages both aliphatic and aromatic nitro compounds. Moreover, this general and step-economical synthesis of aromatic secondary amines showcases orthogonality to other aromatic amine syntheses as it tolerates aryl halides and carbonyl compounds.

- A further decrease in the catalyst loading for the palladium-catalyzed direct intramolecular arylation of amides and sulfonamides
-
The direct arylation of N-substituted o-bromobenzanilides and benzenesulfonamides via C-H bond functionalization has been developed using very low catalyst loadings. This novel cost-effective and more sustainable method relies on a PCN-type palladium pincer complex as a highly active palladium source, providing a general and efficient access to phenanthridinones, biaryl sultams and related heterocyclic systems. The beneficial effect of water as cosolvent has been observed in this process, which is not seriously influenced by electronic effects at the arene moieties or sterically demanding substituents at the amide or sulfonamide nitrogen. In addition, a number of experiments (kinetic plot, poisoning assays, TEM, ESI) have been performed in order to understand the role of the employed palladium complex in this reaction.
