The observation that NHC-boryl radicals abstract cyano groups from various organic nitriles has been parlayed into two complementary transformations. In the main group chemistry aspect, reactions of various NHC-boranes with simple organic dinitriles selectively provide stable NHC-boryl mono- or dinitriles, depending on the nitrile source. In the organic synthesis aspect, reaction of malononitriles and related derivatives with readily available 1,3-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene borane provides reductively decyanated products in good yields.

An intramolecular hydroacylation of olefins using carboxylic acids (CAs) has been developed. With the aid of a boronic acid, CAs can be used as acyl-radical precursors in catalytic photoredox reactions driven by visible light. The CAs are easily converted into their corresponding cyclic ketones without the need to use any stoichiometric activating reagents. Mechanistic studies implied that the formation of an “ate” complex from the CA and boronic acid is crucial for the generation of the acyl radical equivalent from the unreactive carboxy group.

The trityl-substituted bisoxazoline (TrHBOX) was prepared as a chiral analogue to a previously reported nickel dipyrrin system capable of ring-closing amination catalysis. Ligand metalation with divalent NiI2(py)4 followed by potassium graphite reduction afforded the monovalent (TrHBOX)Ni(py) (4). Slow addition of 1.4 equiv of a benzene solution of 1-adamantylazide to 4 generated the tetrazido (TrHBOX)Ni(κ2-N4Ad2) (5) and terminal iminyl adduct (TrHBOX)Ni(NAd) (6). Investigation of 6 via single-crystal X-ray crystallography, NMR and EPR spectroscopies, and computations revealed a Ni(II)-iminyl radical formulation, similar to its dipyrrinato congener. Complex 4 exhibits enantioselective intramolecular C-H bond amination to afford N-heterocyclic products from 4-aryl-2-methyl-2-azidopentanes. Catalytic C-H amination occurs under mild conditions (5 mol % catalyst, 60 °C) and provides pyrrolidine products in decent yield (29%-87%) with moderate ee (up to 73%). Substrates with a 3,5-dialkyl substitution on the 4-aryl position maximized the observed enantioselectivity. Kinetic studies to probe the reaction mechanism were conducted using 1H and 19F NMR spectroscopies. A small, intermolecular kinetic isotope effect (1.35 ± 0.03) suggests an H-atom abstraction step with an asymmetric transition state while the reaction rate is measured to be first order in catalyst and zeroth order in substrate concentrations. Enantiospecific deuterium labeling studies show that the enantioselectivity is dictated by both the H-atom abstraction and radical recombination steps due to the comparable rate between radical rotation and C-N bond formation. Furthermore, the competing elements of the two-step reaction where H-removal from the pro-R configuration is preferred while the preferential radical capture occurs with the Si face of the carboradical likely lead to the diminished ee observed, as corroborated by theoretical calculations. Based on these enantio-determining steps, catalytic enantioselective synthesis of 2,5-bis-tertiary pyrrolidines is demonstrated with good yield (50-78%) and moderate ee (up to 79%).

Copper-catalyzed conjugate addition is a classic method for forming new carbon-carbon bonds. However, copper has never showed catalytic activity for umpolung carbanions in hydrazone chemistry. Herein, we report a facile conjugate addition of hydrazone catalyzed by readily available copper complexes at room temperature. The employment of mesitylcopper(I) and electron-rich phosphine bidentate ligand is a key factor affecting reactivity. The reaction allows various aromatic hydrazones to react with diverse conjugated compounds to produce 1,4-adducts in yields of about 20 to 99%.

Many commercial drugs, as well as upcoming pharmaceutically active compounds in the pipeline, display aliphatic carboxylic acids or derivatives thereof as key structural entities. Synthetic methods for rapidly accessing isotopologues of such compounds are highly relevant for undertaking critical pharmacological studies. In this paper, we disclose a direct synthetic route allowing for full carbon isotope replacement via a nickel-mediated alkoxycarbonylation. Employing a nickelII pincer complex ([(N2N)Ni-Cl]) in combination with carbon-13 labeled CO, alkyl iodide, sodium methoxide, photocatalyst, and blue LED light, it was possible to generate the corresponding isotopically labeled aliphatic carboxylates in good yields. Furthermore, the developed methodology was applied to the carbon isotope substitution of several pharmaceutically active compounds, whereby complete carbon-13 labeling was successfully accomplished. It was initially proposed that the carboxylation step would proceed via the in situ formation of a nickellacarboxylate, generated by CO insertion into the Ni-alkoxide bond. However, preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest an alternative pathway involving attack of an open shell species generated from the alkyl halide to a metal ligated CO to generate an acyl NiIII species. Subsequent reductive elimination involving the alkoxide eventually leads to carboxylate formation. An excess of the alkoxide was essential for obtaining a high yield of the product. In general, the presented methodology provides a simple and convenient setup for the synthesis and carbon isotope labeling of aliphatic carboxylates, while providing new insights about the reactivity of the N2N nickel pincer complex applied.

A dipyrrin-supported nickel catalyst (AdFL)Ni(py) (AdFL: 1,9-di(1-adamantyl)-5-perfluorophenyldipyrrin; py: pyridine) displays productive intramolecular C-H bond amination to afford N-heterocyclic products using aliphatic azide substrates. The catalytic amination conditions are mild, requiring 0.1-2 mol% catalyst loading and operational at room temperature. The scope of C-H bond substrates was explored and benzylic, tertiary, secondary, and primary C-H bonds are successfully aminated. The amination chemoselectivity was examined using substrates featuring multiple activatable C-H bonds. Uniformly, the catalyst showcases high chemoselectivity favoring C-H bonds with lower bond dissociation energy as well as a wide range of functional group tolerance (e.g., ethers, halides, thioetheres, esters, etc.). Sequential cyclization of substrates with ester groups could be achieved, providing facile preparation of an indolizidine framework commonly found in a variety of alkaloids. The amination cyclization reaction mechanism was examined employing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to determine the reaction kinetic profile. A large, primary intermolecular kinetic isotope effect (KIE = 31.9 ± 1.0) suggests H-atom abstraction (HAA) is the rate-determining step, indicative of H-atom tunneling being operative. The reaction rate has first order dependence in the catalyst and zeroth order in substrate, consistent with the resting state of the catalyst as the corresponding nickel iminyl radical. The presence of the nickel iminyl was determined by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy observed during catalysis. The activation parameters (ΔH? = 13.4 ± 0.5 kcal/mol; ΔS?= -24.3 ± 1.7 cal/mol·K) were measured using Eyring analysis, implying a highly ordered transition state during the HAA step. The proposed mechanism of rapid iminyl formation, rate-determining HAA, and subsequent radical recombination was corroborated by intramolecular isotope labeling experiments and theoretical calculations.
