A meta-selective C?H carboxylation reaction of 1,1-diarylethylene derivatives with CO2 by using a rhodium catalyst with NaOiPr as a stoichiometric reductant has been achieved. Together with hydrogenation of the ethylene moiety, a carboxyl group was introduced to the meta-position of the aryl ring with high selectivity over the ortho-positions. Experimental and computational mechanistic studies indicate that this carboxylation reaction proceeds via hydrorhodation on the ethylene moiety, followed by 1,4-rhodium migration and successive 1,2-rhodium migration on the aryl ring. The use of a bulky phosphine ligand seems to be the key to this unusual aryl-to-aryl 1,2-rhodium shift.

Owing to the synthetic importance of branched olefinated products, we report palladium catalyzed formation of branched olefins facilitated by a C-H activation based protocol. This involves selective insertion of olefins and subsequent decarboxylation using a completely unbiased benzene ring as the starting precursor. The significance of the protocol has been further highlighted by exhibition of functionality tolerance along with a late-stage modification of the branched olefinated products leading to the formation of other functionalized molecules.

In intermolecular Heck reactions of styrene and vinylarenes, the aryl and vinyl groups routinely insert at the β position. However, selective insertion at the α position has been very rare. Herein, we provide a missing piece in the palette of Heck reaction, which gave >20:1 α selectivity. The key to our success is a new ferrocene 1,1′-bisphosphane (dnpf) that carries 1-naphthyl groups. Our mechanistic studies revealed that the high α selectivity is partly attributable to the steric effect of dnpf. The rigid and bulky 1-naphthyl groups of dnpf sterically disfavor β insertion. What the Heck! In intermolecular Heck reactions, insertion at the β position of aromatic olefins is very common, but reversal of the selectivity for selective α insertion has been a longstanding problem. A general method to couple aryl and vinyl triflates with aromatic olefins in >20:1 α selectivity is presented. The key to this successful approach is a new ferrocene bisphosphane with naphthyl groups on the phosphorus atom (see scheme; OTf=triflate). Copyright
Synthesis of polysubstituted alkenes by Heck vinylation or Suzuki cross-coupling reactions in the presence of a tetraphosphane-palladium catalyst

Through the use of [PdCl(C3H5)]2/cis,cis,cis-1,2,3, 4-tetrakis[(diphenylphosphanyl)methyl]cyclopentane as a catalyst, a range of vinyl bromides undergo Suzuki cross-couplings with arylboronic acids in good yields. Furthermore, the catalyst can be used at low loadings, even for reactions of sterically hindered substrates. Mediated by this catalyst, stilbene and 1,1-diphenylethylene undergo Heck reactions with aryl halides to give triarylethylene derivatives. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
