- Visible-Light-Enabled Direct Decarboxylative N-Alkylation
-
The development of efficient and selective C?N bond-forming reactions from abundant feedstock chemicals remains a central theme in organic chemistry owing to the key roles of amines in synthesis, drug discovery, and materials science. Herein, we present a dual catalytic system for the N-alkylation of diverse aromatic carbocyclic and heterocyclic amines directly with carboxylic acids, by-passing their preactivation as redox-active esters. The reaction, which is enabled by visible-light-driven, acridine-catalyzed decarboxylation, provides access to N-alkylated secondary and tertiary anilines and N-heterocycles. Additional examples, including double alkylation, the installation of metabolically robust deuterated methyl groups, and tandem ring formation, further demonstrate the potential of the direct decarboxylative alkylation (DDA) reaction.

- Organocatalytic Cascade β-Functionalization/Aromatization of Pyrrolidines via Double Hydride Transfer
-
An unprecedented cascade β-functionalization/aromatization reaction of N-arylpyrrolidines was established. A series of β-substituted arylpyrroles embedded with trifluoromethyl groups are provided directly from N-arylpyrrolidines. The deuterium-labeling experiments indicate that sequential double hydride transfer processes serve as the key steps in this transformation.

- A Highly Selective Palladium-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative Aniline-Aniline Cross-Coupling Reaction
-
The first catalytic oxidative aniline-aniline cross-coupling reaction using oxygen as the terminal oxidant is reported. Anilines possessing a pyrrolidino group can be preferentially oxidized under mild aerobic conditions and reacted with other anilines to afford a variety of nonsymmetrical 2-aminobiphenyls with high selectivities. A heterogeneous palladium catalyst is used for the dehydrogenative cross-coupling of anilines with structurally diverse arenes. This reaction does not require stoichiometric oxidants and is an economical and environmentally friendly method.

- Platinum-catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction in the absence of oxidant
-
A third strategy for cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction has been reported via platinum-catalyzed sp3 C-H and sp3 C-H coupling reaction in the absence of oxidant. Nitroalkanes as well as dialkyl malonate derivatives, β-keto esters and malononitrile are active participants in this coupling reaction. Both cyclic and acyclic non-activated simple ketones are good reactants in this reaction.

- Simple, efficient catalyst system for the palladium-catalyzed amination of aryl chlorides, bromides, and triflates
-
Palladium complexes supported by (o-biphenyl)P(t-Bu)2 (3) or (o- biphenyl)PCy2 (4) are efficient catalysts for the catalytic amination of a wide variety of aryl halides and triflates. Use of ligand 3 allows for the room-temperature catalytic amination of many aryl chloride, bromide, and triflate substrates, while ligand 4 is effective for the amination of functionalized substrates or reactions of acyclic secondary amines. The catalysts perform well for a large number of different substrate combinations at 80-110 °C, including chloropyridines and functionalized aryl halides and triflates using 0.5-1.0 mol % Pd; some reactions proceed efficiently at low catalyst levels (0.05 mol % Pd). These ligands are effective for almost all substrate combinations that have been previously reported with various other ligands, and they represent the most generally effective catalyst system reported to date. Ligands 3 and 4 are air-stable, crystalline solids that are commercially available. Their effectiveness is believed to be due to a combination of steric and electronic properties that promote oxidative addition, Pd-N bond formation, and reductive elimination.
