- Photo-induced oxidative cleavage of C-C double bonds of olefins in water
-
The carbonyl compounds, synthesized by the oxidative cleavage of their corresponding olefins, are of great significance in organic synthesis, especially aryl ketones. We have developed a gentle and effective protocol, using acid red 94 as the organic metal-free photocatalyst, O2 as the oxidant, and water as the solvent. Under visible light irradiation, aryl ketone derivatives were obtained in moderate to excellent yields, showing good economic and environmental advantages.

- Acyl radicals from α-keto acids using a carbonyl photocatalyst: Photoredox-catalyzed synthesis of ketones
-
Acyl radicals have been generated from α-keto acids using inexpensive and commercially available 2-chloro-thioxanthen-9-one as the photoredox catalyst under visible light illumination. These reactive species added to olefins or coupled with aryl halides via a bipyridylstabilized Ni(II) catalyst, enabling easy access to a diverse range of ketones. This reliable, atom-economical, and eco-friendly protocol is compatible with a wide range of functional groups.

- Well-Defined, Air-Stable, and Readily Available Precatalysts for Suzuki and Buchwald-Hartwig Cross-coupling (Transamidation) of Amides and Esters by N-C/O-C Activation
-
A general class of well-defined, air-stable, and readily available Pd(II)-NHC precatalysts (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) for Suzuki and Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling of amides (transamidation) and esters by selective N-C/O-C cleavage is reported. Since these precatalysts are highly active and the easiest to synthesize, the study clearly suggests that [Pd(NHC)(acac)Cl] should be routinely included during the development of new cross-coupling methods. An assay for in situ screening of NHC salts in this cross-coupling manifold is presented.

- Acyl and Decarbonylative Suzuki Coupling of N-Acetyl Amides: Electronic Tuning of Twisted, Acyclic Amides in Catalytic Carbon-Nitrogen Bond Cleavage
-
We report the Pd-catalyzed acyl and the Ni-catalyzed biaryl Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of N-acetyl-amides with arylboronic acids by selective N-C(O) cleavage. Activation of the amide bond by N-acylation provides electronically destabilized, acyclic, nonplanar amide, which readily undergoes cross-coupling with a wide range of boronic acids to produce biaryl ketones or biaryls in a highly efficient manner. Most crucially, the presented results introduce N-acetyl-amides as reactive acyclic amides in the emerging manifold of transition-metal-catalyzed amide cross-coupling. The scope and origin of high selectivity are discussed. Mechanistic studies point to remodeling of amidic resonance and amide bond twist as selectivity determining features in a unified strategy for cross-coupling of acyclic amides. Structural studies, mechanistic investigations as well as beneficial effects of the N-acyl substitution on cross-coupling of amides are reported.

- Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of pentafluorophenyl esters
-
Although the palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of aryl esters has received significant attention, there is a lack of methods that utilize cheap and readily accessible Pd-phosphane catalysts, and can be routinely carried out with high cross-coupling selectivity. Herein, we report the first general method for the cross-coupling of pentafluorophenyl esters (pentafluorophenyl = pfp) by selective C–O acyl cleavage. The reaction proceeds efficiently using Pd(0)/phosphane catalyst systems. The unique characteristics of pentafluorophenyl esters are reflected in the fully selective cross-coupling vs. phenolic esters. Of broad synthetic interest, this report establishes pentafluorophenyl esters as new, highly reactive, bench-stable, economical, ester-based, electrophilic acylative reagents via acyl-metal intermediates. Mechanistic studies strongly support a unified reactivity scale of acyl electrophiles by C(O)–X (X = N, O) activation. The reactivity of pfp esters can be correlated with barriers to isomerization around the C(acyl)–O bond.

- General Method for the Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling of Primary Amide-Derived Electrophiles Enabled by [Pd(NHC)(cin)Cl] at Room Temperature
-
A general, highly selective method for the room temperature Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of commonly encountered primary benzamides is reported. A combination of site-selective N,N-di-Boc-activation (tert-butoxycarbonyl activation) of the amide nitrogen with practical air- and moisture-stable, well-defined, and highly reactive [Pd(NHC)(cin)Cl] (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene; cin = cinnamyl) provides a highly effective route to biaryl ketones from primary amides in high yields. For the first time, a TON of >1000 has been achieved in amide acyl cross-coupling.

- Carbonylative Suzuki cross-coupling reaction catalyzed by bimetallic Pd-Pt nanodendrites under ambient CO pressure
-
Pd-catalyzed reactions between aryl boronic acids and aryl halides have undergone rapid development since the pioneering work of Suzuki and co-workers in 1979. In this paper, we described a high-efficient and cost-effective bimetallic Pd-Pt nanodendrites catalyst based on a ligand-free strategy to synthesize diaryl ketones via CO direct insertion to boronic acids and aryl halides. A variety of aryl boronic acids and aryl halides were investigated, which showed great functional group tolerance and versatile aryl ketone products in high yield.

- N-Acylsuccinimides: Twist-controlled, acyl-transfer reagents in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling by N-C amide bond activation
-
The palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of N-acylsuccinimides as versatile acyl-transfer reagents via selective amide N-C bond cleavage is reported. The method is user-friendly since it employs commercially-available, air-stable reagents and catalysts. The cross-coupling is enabled by half-twist of the amide bond in N-acylsuccinimides. These highly effective, crystalline acyl-transfer reagents present major advantages over perpendicularly twisted N-acylglutarimides, including low price of the succinimide activating ring, selective metal insertion under redox neutral conditions and high stability of the amide bond towards reaction conditions. Mechanistic studies indicate that oxidative addition is the rate limiting step in this widely applicable protocol.

- Palladium-Catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling of N-Mesylamides by N-C Cleavage: Electronic Effect of the Mesyl Group

A general Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of N-mesylamides with arylboronic acids by selective N-C cleavage has been developed. The presented results represent the first example of a transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling of amides activated by an atom-economic, cheap, and benign mesyl group. The reaction delivers arylated products featuring a range of useful functional groups by chemoselective cleavage of the amide N-C bond with high efficiency. Both the scope and the origin of high selectivity are discussed. A beneficial effect of the N-mesyl substituent on the bond activation in acyclic amides is presented.

- N-acylsaccharins: Stable electrophilic amide-based acyl transfer reagents in Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling via N-C cleavage
-
The development of efficient catalytic methods for N-C bond cleavage in amides remains an important synthetic challenge. The first Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of N-acylsaccharins with boronic acids by selective N-C bond activation is reported. The reaction enables preparation of a variety of functionalized diaryl and alkyl-aryl ketones with broad functional group tolerance and in good to excellent yields. Of general interest, N-acylsaccharins serve as new, highly reactive, bench-stable, economical, amide-based, electrophilic acyl transfer reagents via acyl-metal intermediates. Mechanistic studies strongly support the amide N-C(O) bond twist as the enabling feature of N-acylsaccharins in the N-C bond cleavage.

- Steric and electronic effects influencing β-aryl elimination in the Pd-catalyzed carbon-carbon single bond activation of triarylmethanols
-
An analysis of the palladium-catalyzed activation of carbon-carbon single bonds within triarylmethanols has led to a greater understanding of factors influencing the β-aryl elimination process responsible for C-C bond cleavage. A series of competition reactions were utilized to determine that β-aryl elimination of aryl substituents containing ortho-substitution proceeds with significant preference to unsubstituted phenyl rings. Further experiments indicate that substrates containing either strongly donating or withdrawing substituents are cleaved from triarylmethanols more readily than relatively neutral species.
