- Rhodium-Catalyzed Addition of Organozinc Iodides to Carbon-11 Isocyanates
-
Amides were prepared using rhodium-catalyzed coupling of organozinc iodides and carbon-11 (11C, t1/2 = 20.4 min) isocyanates. Nonradioactive isocyanates and sp3 or sp2 organozinc iodides generated amides in yields of 13%-87%. Incorporation of cyclotron-produced [11C]CO2 into 11C-amide products proceeded in yields of 5%-99%. The synthetic utility of the methodology was demonstrated through the isolation of [11C]N-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-methoxybenzamide ([11C]6g) with a molar activity of 267 GBq μmol-1 and 12% radiochemical yield in 21 min from the beginning of synthesis.

- Nickel-Catalyzed α-Carbonylalkylarylation of Vinylarenes: Expedient Access to γ,γ-Diarylcarbonyl and Aryltetralone Derivatives
-
We report a Ni-catalyzed regioselective α-carbonylalkylarylation of vinylarenes with α-halocarbonyl compounds and arylzinc reagents. The reaction works with primary, secondary, and tertiary α-halocarbonyl molecules, and electronically varied arylzinc reagents. The reaction generates γ,γ-diarylcarbonyl derivatives with α-secondary, tertiary, and quaternary carbon centers. The products can be readily converted to aryltetralones, including a precursor to Zoloft, an antidepressant drug.

- Ni-Catalyzed Regioselective β,δ-Diarylation of Unactivated Olefins in Ketimines via Ligand-Enabled Contraction of Transient Nickellacycles: Rapid Access to Remotely Diarylated Ketones
-
We disclose a [(PhO)3P]/NiBr2-catalyzed regioselective β, δ-diarylation of unactivated olefins in ketimines with aryl halides and arylzinc reagents. This diarylation proceeds at remote locations to the carbonyl group to afford, after simple H+ workup, diversely substituted β, δ-diarylketones that are otherwise difficult to access readily with existing methods. Deuterium-labeling and crossover experiments indicate that diarylation proceeds by ligand-enabled contraction of transient nickellacycles.

- Mechanochemical Activation of Zinc and Application to Negishi Cross-Coupling
-
A form independent activation of zinc, concomitant generation of organozinc species and engagement in a Negishi cross-coupling reaction via mechanochemical methods is reported. The reported method exhibits a broad substrate scope for both C(sp3)–C(sp2) and C(sp2)–C(sp2) couplings and is tolerant to many important functional groups. The method may offer broad reaching opportunities for the in situ generation organometallic compounds from base metals and their concomitant engagement in synthetic reactions via mechanochemical methods.

- Cobalt-catalyzed electrophilic amination of arylzincs with N-chloroamines
-
Roles reversed: An efficient cobalt-catalyzed electrophilic amination of arylzinc reagents has been achieved. A variety of functionalized arylzincs and N-chloroamines were coupled under mild conditions (see scheme). Both secondary and tertiary arylamines were obtained in moderate to excellent yields.
