- Radical Hydrodehalogenation of Aryl Halides with H2 Catalyzed by a Phenanthroline-Based PNNP Cobalt(I) Complex
-
Radical hydrodehalogenation of aryl halides (Ar-X; X = Cl, Br, I) is achieved in the presence of atmospheric pressure H2 as a H-atom donor using a Co(I) catalyst bearing a phenanthroline-based PNNP ligand (2,9-bis((diphenylphosphanyl)methyl)-1,10-phenanthroline). The reaction proceeds under mild conditions (1 atm H2) and is applicable to aryl bromides and aryl chlorides with various functional groups. A mechanistic study revealed that the PNNP-Co complex underwent facile H-H cleavage and facilitated a H-atom transfer. This process is mediated by a long-range metal-ligand cooperation of the PNNP-Co system, which includes the dearomatization/aromatization sequence of the phenanthroline ligand backbone. A radical clock experiment demonstrated the Ar-X bond cleavage via a radical mechanism. Further kinetic study supported that the rate-determining step includes electron transfer from the Co center to the substrate, affording a radical pair ArX?- and an odd-electron metal-halide complex [Co(II) + ArX?-]? as a transition state.

- Protodeboronation of (Hetero)Arylboronic Esters: Direct versus Prehydrolytic Pathways and Self-/Auto-Catalysis
-
The kinetics and mechanism of the base-catalyzed hydrolysis (ArB(OR)2→ ArB(OH)2) and protodeboronation (ArB(OR)2→ ArH) of a series of boronic esters, encompassing eight different polyols and 10 polyfluoroaryl and heteroaryl moieties, have been investigated by in situ and stopped-flow NMR spectroscopy (19F,1H, and11B), pH-rate dependence, isotope entrainment,2H KIEs, and KS-DFT computations. The study reveals the phenomenological stability of boronic esters under basic aqueous-organic conditions to be highly nuanced. In contrast to common assumption, esterification does not necessarily impart greater stability compared to the corresponding boronic acid. Moreover, hydrolysis of the ester to the boronic acid can be a dominant component of the overall protodeboronation process, augmented by self-, auto-, and oxidative (phenolic) catalysis when the pH is close to the pKaof the boronic acid/ester.

- NHC·Alane Adducts as Hydride Sources in the Hydrodefluorination of Fluoroaromatics and Fluoroolefins
-
We present herein the utilization of NHC-stabilized alane adducts of the type (NHC)·AlH3 [NHC = Me2Im (1), Me2ImMe (2), iPr2Im (3), iPr2ImMe (4), Dipp2Im (5)] and (NHC)·AliBu2H [NHC = iPr2Im (6), Dipp2Im (7)] as novel hydride transfer reagents in the hydrodefluorination (HDF) of different fluoroaromatics and hexafluoropropene. Depending on the alane adduct used, HDF of pentafluoropyridine to 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoropyridine in yields of 15–99 % was observed. The adducts 1, 2, and 5 achieved a quantitative conversion into 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoropyridine at room temperature immediately after mixing the reactants. Studies on the HDF of fluorobenzenes with the (NHC)·AlH3 adducts 1, 3, and 5 and (Dipp2Im)·AliBu2H (7) showed the decisive influence of the reaction temperature on the H/F exchange and that 135 °C in xylene afforded the best product distribution. Although the HDF of hexafluorobenzene yielded 1,2,4,5-tetrafluorobenzene in moderate yields with traces of 1,2,3,4-tetrafluorobenzene and 1,2,4-trifluorobenzene, pentafluorobenzene was converted quantitatively into 1,2,4,5-tetrafluorobenzene, with (Dipp2Im)·AliBu2H (7) showing the highest activity and reaching complete conversion after 12 h at 135 °C in xylene. The HDF of hexafluoropropene with (Me2Im)·AlH3 (1) occurred even at low temperatures and preferably at the CF2 group with the formation of 1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene (with 0.4 equiv. of 1) or 2,3,3,3-tetra-fluoropropene (with 0.9 equiv. of 1) as the main product.

- Base-Catalyzed Aryl-B(OH)2 Protodeboronation Revisited: From Concerted Proton Transfer to Liberation of a Transient Aryl Anion
-
Pioneering studies by Kuivila, published more than 50 years ago, suggested ipso protonation of the boronate as the mechanism for base-catalyzed protodeboronation of arylboronic acids. However, the study was limited to UV spectrophotometric analysis under acidic conditions, and the aqueous association constants (Ka) were estimated. By means of NMR, stopped-flow IR, and quenched-flow techniques, the kinetics of base-catalyzed protodeboronation of 30 different arylboronic acids has now been determined at pH > 13 in aqueous dioxane at 70 °C. Included in the study are all 20 isomers of C6HnF(5-n)B(OH)2 with half-lives spanning 9 orders of magnitude: a and Sδ values, kinetic isotope effects (2H, 10B, 13C), linear free-energy relationships, and density functional theory calculations, we have identified a mechanistic regime involving unimolecular heterolysis of the boronate competing with concerted ipso protonation/C-B cleavage. The relative Lewis acidities of arylboronic acids do not correlate with their protodeboronation rates, especially when ortho substituents are present. Notably, 3,5-dinitrophenylboronic acid is orders of magnitude more stable than tetra-and pentafluorophenylboronic acids but has a similar pKa.

- Addition of Carbon-Fluorine Bonds to a Mg(I)-Mg(I) Bond: An Equivalent of Grignard Formation in Solution
-
Addition of the carbon-fluorine bond of a series of perfluorinated and polyfluorinated arenes across the Mg-Mg bond of a simple coordination complex proceeds rapidly in solution. The reaction results in the formation of a new carbon-magnesium bond and a new fluorine-magnesium bond and is analogous to Grignard formation in homogeneous solution.

- A neutral Gold(III)-Boron transmetalation
-
The occurrence of direct transmetalation between gold(III) and boron species during gold-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions has recently become the subject of intense discussion. In this work, we investigate the transmetalation reaction between discrete, stable gold(III) complexes and boron reagents. Interestingly, electron-rich arylboronic acids remain unreactive under neutral conditions, whereas electron-deficient species undergo transmetalation in a highly efficient manner.

- Halex reactions of aromatic compounds catalysed by 2-azaallenium, carbophosphazenium, aminophosphonium and diphosphazenium salts: A comparative study
-
An increasing number of biologically active compounds in the pharma and agro-chemical sector contain carbon fluorine bonds. One of the most common methods to introduce fluorine into intermediates is the well-investigated halogen-exchange reaction, in which chloro- and bromoaromatics activated towards nucleophilic substitution, react with a fluoride source to yield the corresponding fluoroarenes. In general, the reaction is supported by phase-transfer catalysts. The use of a new class of very active phase-transfer catalysts gives the possibility of substituting even halogens with weak activation giving a convenient access to interesting compounds that are not available so far and opening up new synthetic routes in Halex chemistry. Our new classes of catalysts, CNC+ (1a), PNC+ (2a) and several different approaches presented by other groups are described and experimental results discussed.

- Reductive transformations of organofluorine compounds: II. Hydrodechlorination of chloropolyfluoroarenes by the action of zinc
-
Polyfluoroarenes containing chlorine atoms in the aromatic ring and/or in the benzylic position undergo hydrodechlorination by the action of zinc in aqueous dimethylformamide. The use of Zn/Cu and addition of salts (NaCl, Na2SO4, NH4Cl) favor reductive dechlorination of the Carom - Cl bond. Polyfluorobenzotrichlorides react with excess zinc to give the corresponding CH3-substituted derivatives, otherwise CH2Cl- and CHCl2-containing compounds are formed. The reduction of C6F5CCl3 and C6F5CH2Cl with zinc in the presence of copper provides lower yields of the hydrodechlorination products and leads to formation of 1,2-bis(pentafluorophenyl)ethane.

- Reductive dehalogenation of polyfluoroarenes by zinc in aqueous ammonia
-
Aqueous ammonia has been found to be a good and versatile medium for the highly selective hydrodehalogenation of polyfluoroarenes by zinc under unprecedentedly mild conditions. The reduction of pentafluorobenzoic acid, 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzyl alcohol, pentafluorobenzamide, pentafluoropyridine, heptafluoro-2-naphthoic acid, 1,3,4,5,7,8-hexafluoro-2-naphthoic acid, octafluoronaphthalene, octafluorotoluene, decafluorobiphenyl, chloropentafluorobenzene and 4-chlorotetrafluorobenzoic acid give products derived from the removal of one or two halogen atoms. A reduction mechanism, proceeding through electron capture to give a radical anion and then fragmentation of the latter, has been suggested. The observed high selectivity of the process suggests a radical anion formed by direct electron transfer from zinc to substrate. The dehalogenation regioselectivity is basically in accordance with that expected for radical anion fragmentation.

- Combined experimental and theoretical study of the protonation of polyfluorobenzenes [C6H(6-n)F(n)] (n = 0-6)
-
In a recent high-pressure mass spectrometric revision to the gas-phase basicity scale (J. E. Szulejko and T. B. McMahon, J. Am. Chem. Sec. 115, 7839 (1993)), it was observed that the proton affinity for hexafluorobenzene was 24 kcal mol-1 (1 kcal = 4.184 kJ) lower than the accepted National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) database value of 177.7 kcal mol-1 (S. G. Lias et al., J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data 17, Suppl. 1 (1988)). Furthermore, the proton affinities for most other polyfluorobenzenes were also found to differ substantially from the NIST values. For many of the polyfluorobenzenes large protonation entropy changes were noted, which were substantially greater than then those expected from rotational symmetry number changes alone. In view of these observations, MP2/6-31G**/HF/6-31G** ab initio calculations were undertaken to investigate further the proton affinity and entropy changes with respect to the degree of fluorine substitution. The present proton affinity variations found for the polyfluorobenzenes (hexaflorobenzene excepted) can be interpreted with the aid of the ab initio results in terms of a simple additivity scheme. Each fluorine substituent para, meta, ortho or ipso to the ring protonation site will induce an incremental proton affinity change with respect to benzene of 1.5, -7.0, -1.5 and -19.0 kcal mol-1, respectively. This additivity scheme can also be used to rationalize the re-evaluated proton affinities for the polymethylbenzenes and m- and o-fluorotoluenes. The corresponding methyl increments are 7.5, 5.5, 2.5 and 1.0 kcal mol-l for para, meta, ortho and ipso protonation respectively. From the present ab initio statistical thermodynamic analysis of the various protonation entropy components, it was concluded that the low frequency vibrations are almost exclusively responsible for the large excess entropy changes observed experimentally. Ab initio calculated barriers for 1,2 proton shifts in arenium species available in the literature are concluded to be too large to allow the existence of a so-called dynamic proton. Large excess protonation entropies are noted from the literature for polymethylbenzenes, naphthalene and 1-methylnaphthalene.

The kinetics of the gas-phase thermal isomerization of 1,2,3,5- and 1,2,4,5-tetrafluorobicyclohexa-2,5-diene into the corresponding tetrafluorobenzenes have been studied over a temperature range of 320-390 K and a pressure range of 100-2000 Nm-2.The reactions are homogeneous, obey a first-order law, and are unimolecular.The temperature dependence of the rate constants is given by the Arrhenius equations (1) for 1,2,3,5-tetrafluorobicyclohexa-2,5-diene, and (2) for 1,2,4,5-tetrafluorobicyclohexa-2,5-diene.The rate constants of the thermal isomerisation of 1,3,5-, 1,2,5-, and 2,3,5-trifluorobicyclohexa-2,5-diene into corresponding trifluorobenzenes have been measured at 353 K, and the following values of -log (k/s-1) were obtained: 2.3 +/- 0.2, 2.4 +/- 0.2, and 2.6 +/- 0.2, respectively.The influence of fluorine substitution on the thermal stability of the Dewar structure is discussed.
