- Buchwald-Hartwig Amination of Coordinating Heterocycles Enabled by Large-but-Flexible Pd-BIAN-NHC Catalysts**
-
A new class of large-but-flexible Pd-BIAN-NHC catalysts (BIAN=acenaphthoimidazolylidene, NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene) has been rationally designed to enable the challenging Buchwald-Hartwig amination of coordinating heterocycles. This robust class of BIAN-NHC catalysts permits cross-coupling under practical aerobic conditions of a variety of heterocycles with aryl, alkyl, and heteroarylamines, including historically challenging oxazoles and thiazoles as well as electron-deficient heterocycles containing multiple heteroatoms with BIAN-INon (N,N′-bis(2,6-di(4-heptyl)phenyl)-7H-acenaphtho[1,2-d]imidazol-8-ylidene) as the most effective ligand. Studies on the ligand structure and electronic properties of the carbene center are reported. The study should facilitate the discovery of even more active catalyst systems based on the unique BIAN-NHC scaffold.

- Iridium(III)-Catalyzed Tandem Annulation of Pyridine-Substituted Anilines and α-Cl Ketones for Obtaining 2-Arylindoles
-
A facile and expeditious protocol for the synthesis of 2-arylindole compounds from readily available N-(2-pyridyl)anilines and commercially available α-Cl ketones through iridium-catalyzed C-H activation and cyclization is reported here. As a complementary approach to the conventional strategies for indole synthesis, the transformation exhibits powerful reactivity, tolerates a large number of functional groups, and proceeds with good to excellent yields under mild conditions, providing a straightforward method to obtain structurally diverse and valuable indole scaffolds. Furthermore, the reaction could be easily scaled up to gram scale.

- Synthesis of 2-substituted indoles by iridium (III)-catalyzed C–]H functionalization of N-phenylpyridin-2-amines
-
A highly regioselective synthesis of 2-substituted indoles was realized through Ir(III)-catalyzed C–]H functionalization of N-phenylpyridin-2-amines followed by the reaction with sulfoxonium ylides and intramolecular cyclization under mild conditions. The reaction completed with broad range of substrate scopes and gave various 2-substituted indoles in up to 98% yields.

- Ruthenium-catalyzed synthesis of indole derivatives from: N -aryl-2-aminopyridines and alpha-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides
-
Indole is a ubiquitous structural motif with important applications in many areas of chemistry. Given this, a simple and efficient Ru(ii)-catalyzed synthesis of indole via intermolecular annulation of N-aryl-2-aminopyridines and sulfoxonium ylides was proposed and accomplished. Excellent selectivity and good functional group tolerance of this transformation were observed. This protocol provides easy access to a wide variety of useful indoles in the presence of a commercially available [Ru(p-cymene)Cl2]2 catalyst. A possible mechanism for the reaction pathway was also proposed. More importantly, this reaction will offer a useful method for the construction of enantioenriched indole frameworks.

- Iridium-Catalysed Cascade Synthesis of Oxindoles Using Diazo Compounds: A Quick Entry to C-7-Functionalized Oxindoles
-
A cascade iridium-catalysed oxindole synthesis was achieved using pyridyl-protected anilines and bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) 2-diazomalonate. The developed protocol is simple and scalable, and has a broad scope and excellent regioselectivity. The pyridyl directing group can easily be removed. The method was further extended to give C-7-functionalized oxindole derivatives in a straightforward manner. The role of bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) 2-diazomalonate for oxindole preparation has been explored.

- Buchwald-Hartwig amination of (hetero)aryl chlorides by employing Mor-DalPhos under aqueous and solvent-free conditions
-
We report on the application of the [Pd(cinnamyl)Cl]2/Mor- DalPhos catalyst system in the Buchwald-Hartwig amination of (hetero)aryl chlorides with primary or secondary amines conducted either under aqueous conditions without the use of co-solvents and/or surfactants or under solvent-free conditions (52 examples). We have established that reactions of this type can be conducted without the rigorous exclusion of air, and in the case of the solvent-free reactions, we have demonstrated that appropriately selected liquid and solid reagents can be employed successfully.
