- Photocatalytic monofluorination of benzene by fluoride via photoinduced electron transfer with 3-cyano-1-methylquinolinium
-
The photocatalytic fluorination of benzene occurs under photoirradiation of an oxygen-saturated acetonitrile (MeCN) of the 3-cyano-1-methylquinolinium ion (QuCN+) containing benzene and tetraethylammonium fluoride tetrahydrofluoride (TEAF·4HF) with a xenon lamp (500 W) attached to a colored-glass filter (λ + and benzene exhibited absorption bands due to QuCN ? (λmax = 500 nm) and the benzene dimer radical cation (λmax = 900 nm), which were generated by photoinduced electron transfer from benzene to the singlet excited state of QuCN+. The decay rate of the transient absorption band due to the benzene dimer radical cation was accelerated by the addition of TEAF·4HF. The observed rate constant increased with increasing concentration of TEAF·4HF. The rate constant of the electrophilic addition of fluoride to the benzene radical cation was determined to be 9.4 × 109 M-1 s-1. Thus, the photocatalytic reaction is initiated by intermolecular photoinduced electron transfer from benzene to the single excited state of QuCN+. The benzene radical cation formed by photoinduced electron transfer reacts with the fluoride anion to yield the F-adducted radical. However, QuCN? can reduce O2 to O2?-, and this is followed by the protonation of O2?- to afford HO2?. The hydrogen abstraction of HO2? from the F-adduct radical affords fluorobenzene and H2O2 as the final products.

- Nucleophilic Fluorination of Heteroaryl Chlorides and Aryl Triflates Enabled by Cooperative Catalysis
-
Aryl and heteroaryl fluorides are growing to be dominant motifs in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, yet they are rare in both nature and commodity chemicals. As a consequence, there is an increasingly urgent need to develop mild, cost-effective, and scalable methods for fluorination. The most straightforward route to synthesize aryl fluorides is through the halide exchange "halex"reaction, but conditions, cost, and atom economy preclude most available methods from large-scale manufacturing processes. We report a new approach that leverages the cooperative action of 18-crown-6 ether and tetramethylammonium chloride to catalytically access the reactivity of tetramethylammonium fluoride and achieve halex fluorinations under mild conditions with operational ease. The described methodology readily converts both heteroaryl chlorides and aryl triflates to their corresponding (hetero)aryl fluorides in high yields and purities.

- Fluorination of arylboronic esters enabled by bismuth redox catalysis
-
Bismuth catalysis has traditionally relied on the Lewis acidic properties of the element in a fixed oxidation state. In this paper, we report a series of bismuth complexes that can undergo oxidative addition, reductive elimination, and transmetallation in a manner akin to transition metals. Rational ligand optimization featuring a sulfoximine moiety produced an active catalyst for the fluorination of aryl boronic esters through a bismuth (III)/bismuth (V) redox cycle. Crystallographic characterization of the different bismuth species involved, together with a mechanistic investigation of the carbonfluorine bond-forming event, identified the crucial features that were combined to implement the full catalytic cycle.

- Reactions of Arylsulfonate Electrophiles with NMe4F: Mechanistic Insight, Reactivity, and Scope
-
This paper describes a detailed study of the deoxyfluorination of aryl fluorosulfonates with tetramethylammonium fluoride (NMe4F) and ultimately identifies other sulfonate electrophiles that participate in this transformation. 19F NMR spectroscopic monitoring of the deoxyfluorination of aryl fluorosulfonates revealed the rapid formation of diaryl sulfates under the reaction conditions. These intermediates can proceed to fluorinated products; however, diaryl sulfate derivatives bearing electron-donating substituents react very slowly with NMe4F. Based on these findings, aryl triflate and aryl nonaflate derivatives were explored, since these cannot react to form diaryl sulfates. Aryl triflates were found to be particularly effective electrophiles for deoxyfluorination with NMe4F, and certain derivatives (i.e., those bearing electron-neutral/donating substituents) afforded higher yields than their aryl fluorosulfonate counterparts. Computational studies implicate a similar mechanism for deoxyfluorination of all the sulfonate electrophiles.

- Palladium-catalysed electrophilic aromatic C-H fluorination
-
Aryl fluorides are widely used in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, and recent advances have enabled their synthesis through the conversion of various functional groups. However, there is a lack of general methods for direct aromatic carbon-hydrogen (C-H) fluorination. Conventional methods require the use of either strong fluorinating reagents, which are often unselective and difficult to handle, such as elemental fluorine, or less reactive reagents that attack only the most activated arenes, which reduces the substrate scope. A method for the direct fluorination of aromatic C-H bonds could facilitate access to fluorinated derivatives of functional molecules that would otherwise be difficult to produce. For example, drug candidates with improved properties, such as increased metabolic stability or better blood-brain-barrier penetration, may become available. Here we describe an approach to catalysis and the resulting development of an undirected, palladium-catalysed method for aromatic C-H fluorination using mild electrophilic fluorinating reagents. The reaction involves a mode of catalysis that is unusual in aromatic C-H functionalization because no organometallic intermediate is formed; instead, a reactive transition-metal-fluoride electrophile is generated catalytically for the fluorination of arenes that do not otherwise react with mild fluorinating reagents. The scope and functional-group tolerance of this reaction could provide access to functional fluorinated molecules in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development that would otherwise not be readily accessible.

- Nucleophilic deoxyfluorination of phenols via aryl fluorosulfonate intermediates
-
This report describes a method for the deoxyfluorination of phenols with sulfuryl fluoride (SO2F2) and tetramethylammonium fluoride (NMe4F) via aryl fluorosulfonate (ArOFs) intermediates. We first demonstrate that the reaction of ArOFs with NMe4F proceeds under mild conditions (often at room temperature) to afford a broad range of electronically diverse and functional group-rich aryl fluoride products. This transformation was then translated to a one-pot conversion of phenols to aryl fluorides using the combination of SO2F2 and NMe4F. Ab initio calculations suggest that carbon-fluorine bond formation proceeds via a concerted transition state rather than a discrete Meisenheimer intermediate.

- Chemoselective Radical Dehalogenation and C-C Bond Formation on Aryl Halide Substrates Using Organic Photoredox Catalysts
-
Despite the number of methods available for dehalogenation and carbon-carbon bond formation using aryl halides, strategies that provide chemoselectivity for systems bearing multiple carbon-halogen bonds are still needed. Herein, we report the ability to tune the reduction potential of metal-free phenothiazine-based photoredox catalysts and demonstrate the application of these catalysts for chemoselective carbon-halogen bond activation to achieve C-C cross-coupling reactions as well as reductive dehalogenations. This procedure works both for conjugated polyhalides as well as unconjugated substrates. We further illustrate the usefulness of this protocol by intramolecular cyclization of a pyrrole substrate, an advanced building block for a family of natural products known to exhibit biological activity.

- Light-Induced C-H Arylation of (Hetero)arenes by in Situ Generated Diazo Anhydrides
-
Diazo anhydrides (Ar-N=N-O-N=N-Ar) have been known since 1896 but have rarely been used in synthesis. This communication describes the development of a photochemical catalyst-free C-H arylation methodology for the preparation of bi(hetero)aryls by the one-pot reaction of anilines with tert-butyl nitrite and (hetero)arenes under neutral conditions. The key step in this procedure is the in situ formation and subsequent photochemical (>300 nm) homolytic cleavage of a transient diazo anhydride intermediate. The generated aryl radical then efficiently reacts with a (hetero)arene to form the desired bi(hetero)aryls producing only nitrogen, water, and tert-butanol as byproducts. The scope of the reaction for several substituted anilines and (hetero)arenes was investigated. A continuous-flow protocol increasing selectivity and safety has been developed enabling the experimentally straightforward preparation of a variety of substituted bi(hetero)aryls within 45 min of reaction time.

- Studying regioisomer formation in the pd-catalyzed fluorination of aryl triflates by deuterium labeling
-
Isotopic labeling has been used to determine that a portion of the desired product in the Pd-catalyzed fluorination of electron-rich, non-ortho-substituted aryl triflates results from direct C-F cross-coupling. In some cases, formation of a Pd-aryne intermediate is responsible for producing undesired regioisomers. The generation of the Pd-aryne intermediate occurs primarily via ortho-deprotonation of a L·Pd(Ar)OTf (L = biaryl monophosphine) species by CsF and thus competes directly with the transmetalation step of the catalytic cycle. Deuterium labeling studies were conducted with a variety of aryl triflates.

- Organometallic nickel(III) complexes relevant to cross-coupling and carbon-heteroatom bond formation reactions
-
Nickel complexes have been widely employed as catalysts in C-C and C-heteroatom bond formation reactions. In addition to Ni(0) and Ni(II) intermediates, several Ni-catalyzed reactions are proposed to also involve odd-electron Ni(I) and Ni(III) oxidation states. We report herein the isolation, structural and spectroscopic characterization, and organometallic reactivity of Ni(III) complexes containing aryl and alkyl ligands. These Ni(III) species undergo transmetalation and/or reductive elimination reactions to form new C-C or C-heteroatom bonds and are also competent catalysts for Kumada and Negishi cross-coupling reactions. Overall, these results provide strong evidence for the direct involvement of organometallic Ni(III) species in cross-coupling reactions and oxidatively induced C-heteroatom bond formation reactions.

- Direct trifluoro-methoxylation of aromatics with perfluoro-methyl- hypofluorite
-
The reactivity of CF3OF (FTM) has been widely studied especially in halogenated olefinic systems and its use in pharmaceutical synthesis as a mild radical and electrophilic fluorinating agent is well documented. On the other hand, the chemical behavior of the perfluoro-methyl-hypofluorite with aromatic substrates is much less studied. Up to now few and scattered data regarding its use as electrophilic fluorinating agent of variously substituted aromatic compounds are found in the literature. In this work the reactivity of CF3OF with simple electron rich and electron poor aromatics (α,α,α-trifluoro-toluene, toluene, benzene, chloro-benzene, methoxybenzene) has been investigated. The possibility of selectively bind the trifluoro-methoxy group (via radical mechanism) or the fluorine atom (via electrophilic addition) by varying the reaction conditions has been explored. In particular we have observed that the trifluoro-methoxy free radical substitution can be the main synthetic pathway if the reaction is promoted by an independent and steady source of CF3O radical.

- Mechanistic and computational studies of oxidatively-induced Aryl-CF 3 bond-formation at Pd: Rational design of room temperature aryl trifluoromethylation
-
This article describes the rational design of first generation systems for oxidatively induced Aryl-CF3 bond-forming reductive elimination from PdII. Treatment of (dtbpy)PdII(Aryl)(CF3) (dtbpy = di-tert-butylbipyridine) with NFTPT (N-fluoro-1,3,5-trimethylpyridinium triflate) afforded the isolable PdIV intermediate (dtbpy)Pd IV(Aryl)(CF3)(F)(OTf). Thermolysis of this complex at 80 °C resulted in Aryl-CF3 bond-formation. Detailed experimental and computational mechanistic studies have been conducted to gain insights into the key reductive elimination step. Reductive elimination from this PdIV species proceeds via pre-equilibrium dissociation of TfO- followed by Aryl-CF3 coupling. DFT calculations reveal that the transition state for Aryl-CF3 bond formation involves the CF3 acting as an electrophile with the Aryl ligand serving as a nucleophilic coupling partner. These mechanistic considerations along with DFT calculations have facilitated the design of a second generation system utilizing the tmeda (N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine) ligand in place of dtbpy. The tmeda complexes undergo oxidative trifluoromethylation at room temperature.

- Ipso-Fluorination of aryltrimethylsilanes using xenon difluoride

Reaction of aryltrimethylsilanes with xenon difluoride in C 6F6/Pyrex at room temperature gives aryl fluorides in good yield. The reaction is inhibited when acetonitrile is used as solvent but proceeds well in CFCl3/Pyrex or CH 2Cl2/Pyrex. Pyrex appears to be a very effective heterogeneous catalyst for this ipso-fluorination. The reaction does not proceed in PTFE, quartz, soda glass or glassy-carbon flasks or Pyrex flasks pre-rinsed with 2 M NaOH. Aryltrimethylstannanes and arylboronic acids and their esters do not undergo ipso-fluorination under similar conditions. Plausible mechanisms involving electrophilic addition of polarised xenon difluoride [FXeδ+?F→Pyrex δ-] followed by ligand coupling are discussed.

- Halo- and azidodediazoniation of arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates with trimethylsilyl halides and trimethylsilyl azide and Sandmeyer-type bromodediazoniation with Cu(I)Br in [BMIM][PF6] ionic liquid
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) Reaction of [ArN2][BF4] salts immobilized in [BMIM][PF6] ionic liquid (IL) with TMSX (X = I, Br) and TMSN3 represents an efficient method for the preparation of iodo-, bromo-, and azido-derivatives via dediazoniation. The reactions can also be effected starting with ArNH2 by in situ diazotization with [NO][BF4] followed by reaction with TMSX or TMSN3. Depending on the substituents on the benzenediazonium cation, competing fluorodediazoniation (ArF formation) and hydrodediazoniation (ArH formation) were observed. Dediazoniation with TMSN3 and with TMSI generally gave the highest chemoselectivity toward ArN3 and ArI formation. The IL was recycled and reused up to 5 times with no appreciable decrease in the conversions. Multinuclear NMR monitoring of the interaction of [ArN 2][BF4]/TMSX, [BMIM][PF6]/TMSX, and [BMIM][PF6]/TMSX/[ArN2][BF4] indicated that TMSF is formed primarily via [ArN2][BF4]/ TMSX, generating [ArN2][X] in situ, which gives ArX on dediazoniation. Competing formation of ArF in Sandmeyer-type bromodediazoniation of [ArN 2][BF4] with Cu(I)Br immobilized in the IL points to significant involvement of heterolytic dediazoniation.

- N-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)aryloxytrifluoromethylsulfoximines [ArO-SO(CF3)=NTf] and N-aryltriflimides Ar-N(Tf)2 by thermal and photolytic dediazoniation of [ArN2][BF4] in [BMIM][Tf2N] ionic liquid: Exploiting the ambident nucleophilic character of a "nonnucleophilic" anion
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) Arenediazonium tetrafluoroborate salts undergo metathesis on immobilization in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonato)amide [BMIM][Tf2N]. The "noncoordinating", "nonnucleophilic" [Tf2N] anion acts as an ambident nucleophile toward the aryl cations, formed via thermal dediazoniation, to give predominantly the oxy anion quenching products [ArO-SO(CF3)=NTf], with minimal formation of ArN(Tf)2, irrespective of the nature of the substituent(s) on the ArN2 +. Strong preference for the formation of oxygen trapping products did not change under photolytic conditions, where dediazoniation occurs at room temperature. A minimal amount of the Schiemann product ArF is also formed in both thermal and photolytic dediazoniation, depending on the substituent(s). Progress of dediazoniation in the IL (both thermal and photolytic) and the evolution of the products were directly monitored by 1H and 19F NMR. According to DFT (Density Functional Theory) calculations, PhN(Tf)2 is more stable than PhO-SO(CF3)=NTf by 15-17 kcal/mol, depending on the basis set. Inclusion of solvation effects (PCM, with acetone and with CH2ClCH2Cl as solvent) did not change this preference. The [ArN2][BF4] dediazoniation in [BMIM][Tf2N] resulted in synthesis and characterization of a series of hitherto unknown [ArO-SO(CF3)=NTf] compounds. The X-ray structure of MesO-SO(CF3)=NTf (Mes = mesityl) is reported. On the basis of extraction studies, suitable solvent systems have been identified that remove the products without dissolving [BMIM][NTf2], thus overcoming product recovery difficulties typically associated with the use of this IL.

- Method for separating substances
-
An objective of the present invention is to provide electrophoretic separation methods and devices that enable the various features of a substrate surface that comes in contact with an electrophoresis medium to be controlled. The present invention provides methods for electrophoresing substances, which comprises the steps of: (a) adding a substance to be analyzed to an electrophoresis medium retained in a substrate, whose surface that has come in contact with the electrophoresis medium has been coated with a polymer membrane; and (b) adding electrophoretic pressure to the electrophoresis medium. For example, the use of a plasma-polymerized membrane allows the formation of a membrane with homogeneous quality and thickness on the surface of an arbitrary shape. In addition, desired characteristics can be conferred on the surface through selection of monomeric substances. Protein adsorption onto micro-chips can be effectively prevented as well.

- N-halosuccinimide/BF3-H2O, efficient electrophilic halogenating systems for aromatics
-
N-Halosuccinimides (NXS, 1) are efficiently activated in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and BF3-H2O, allowing the halogenations of deactivated aromatics. Because BF3-H2O is more economic, easy to prepare, nonoxidizing, and offers sufficiently high acidity (-H0 ≈ 12, only slightly lower than that of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid), an efficient new electrophilic reagent combination of NXS/BF3-H2O has been developed. DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++G**//B3LYP/6-31G* level suggest that protonated N-halosuccinimides undergo further protosolvation at higher acidities to reactive superelectrophilic species capable either in the transfer of X+ from the protonated forms of NXS to the aromatic substrate or in forming a highly reactive and solvated X+ which would readily react with the aromatic substrates. Structural aspects of the BF 3-H2O complex have also been investigated.

- Facile Synthesis of 2-Bromo-3-fluorobenzonitrile: An Application and Study of the Halodeboronation of Aryl Boronic Acids
-
A scaleable synthesis of 2-bromo-3-fluorobenzonitrile via the NaOMe-catalyzed bromodeboronation of 2-cyano-6-fluorophenylboronic acid was developed. The generality of this transformation was demonstrated through the halodeboronation of a series of aryl boronic acids. Both aryl bromides and aryl chlorides were formed in good to excellent yields when the corresponding aryl boronic acid was treated with 1,3-dihalo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin and 5 mol % NaOMe.

- Method for producing tetrakis ( fluoroaryl) borate-magnesium compound
-
Fluoroaryl magnesium halide is reacted with a boron compound so that a molar ratio of the fluoroaryl magnesium halide to the boron compound is not less than 3.0 and not more than 3.7, so as to produce a tetrakis (fluoroaryl) borate·magnesium compound. With this method, there occurs no hydrogen fluoride which corrodes a producing apparatus and requires troublesome waste water treatment.
