Palladium(II)-Catalyzed Enantioselective Synthesis of α-(Trifluoromethyl)arylmethylamines
We describe a method for the synthesis of α-(trifluoromethyl)arylmethylamines that consists of the palladium(II)-catalyzed addition of arylboroxines to imines derived from trifluoroacetaldehyde. Palladium acetate is used as a catalyst with electron-neutral or electron-rich arylboroxines, and it was found that addition of an ammonium or silver salt was crucial to promote the reaction of electron-poor boroxines. With (S)-t-Bu-PyOX as the chiral ligand, this method delivers a variety of α-trifluoromethylated amines in 57-91% yield and with greater than 92% ee in most cases.

Programmed selective sp2 C-O bond activation toward multiarylated benzenes
A variety of important multiarylated benzenes were efficiently synthesized from phloroglucinol derivatives 1 through sequential cross-couplings via Pd-catalyzed C-OTs, Ni-catalyzed C-OC(O)NEt2, and C-OMe bond activation. High selectivity was achieved based on the rational design and inherent diversity in the reactivity of different C-O bonds.
Nickel-catalyzed efficient and practical Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of alkenyl and aryl carbamates with aryl boroxines
(Figure Presented) Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of unactivated alkenyl carbamates Is described to construct polysubstituted olefins. The developed process is also suitable for heteroaromatic and even electron-rich aromatic carbamates.
