- Tandem Mn–I Exchange and Homocoupling Processes Mediated by a Synergistically Operative Lithium Manganate
-
Pairing lithium and manganese(II) to form lithium manganate [Li2Mn(CH2SiMe3)4] enables the efficient direct Mn–I exchange of aryliodides, affording transient (aryl)lithium manganate intermediates which in turn undergo spontaneous C?C homocoupling at room temperature to furnish symmetrical (bis)aryls in good yields under mild reaction conditions. The combination of EPR with X-ray crystallographic studies has revealed the mixed Li/Mn constitution of the organometallic intermediates involved in these reactions, including the homocoupling step which had previously been thought to occur via a single-metal Mn aryl species. These studies show Li and Mn working together in a synergistic manner to facilitate both the Mn–I exchange and the C?C bond-forming steps. Both steps are carefully synchronized, with the concomitant generation of the alkyliodide ICH2SiMe3 during the Mn–I exchange being essential to the aryl homocoupling process, wherein it serves as an in situ generated oxidant.

- Sustainable Synthesis of Biaryls Using Silica Supported Ferrocene Appended N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Palladium Complex
-
Abstract: A novel silica supported ferrocene appended N-heterocyclic carbene-palladium complex (SilFemBenzNHC@Pd) has been prepared and characterized by using fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), fourier transform Raman (FT-Raman), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). This novel complex served as a robust heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of biaryls via homocoupling of aryl boronic acids under base-free conditions in water. Recyclability experiments were executed successfully for six successive runs. Graphic Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

- Spatial anion control on palladium for mild C-H arylation of arenes
-
C-H arylation of arenes without the use of directing groups is a challenge, even for simple molecules, such as benzene. We describe spatial anion control as a concept for the design of catalytic sites for C-H bond activation, thereby enabling nondirected C-H arylation of arenes at ambient temperature. The mild conditions enable late-stage structural diversification of biologically relevant small molecules, and site-selectivity complementary to that obtained with other methods of arene functionalization can be achieved. These results reveal the potential of spatial anion control in transition-metal catalysis for the functionalization of C-H bonds under mild conditions.

- Metal-Reductant-Free Electrochemical Nickel-Catalyzed Couplings of Aryl and Alkyl Bromides in Acetonitrile
-
While reductive cross-electrochemical coupling is an attractive approach for the synthesis of complex molecules at both small and large scale, two barriers for large-scale applications have remained: the use of stoichiometric metal reductants and a need for amide solvents. In this communication, new conditions that address these challenges are reported. The nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling of aryl bromides with alkyl bromides can be conducted in a divided electrochemical cell using acetonitrile as the solvent and diisopropylamine as the sacrificial reductant to afford coupling products in synthetically useful yields (22-80%). Additionally, the use of a combination of the ligands 4,4′,4″-tri-tert-butyl-2,2′:6′,2′-terpyridine and 4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bipyridine is essential to achieve high yields.

- Nickel-Catalyzed Electrochemical Reductive Homocouplings of Aryl and Heteroaryl Halides: A Useful Route to Symmetrical Biaryls
-
Due to their widespread presence in functional materials and pharmaceuticals, biaryls are of fundamental importance in organic chemistry. Methods for the synthesis of symmetrical biaryls generally involve both metallic reduction and transition-metal catalysis. In this work, we show that electroreduction can also constitute a very relevant way to achieve the nickel-catalyzed reductive synthesis of symmetrical biaryl compounds. Therefore, it is demonstrated that both aryl and heteroaryl halides undergo reductive coupling to furnish the corresponding symmetrical biaryls in fair to excellent yields. Reactions are performed under very mild conditions thus ensuring important functional group tolerance.

- A Copper-Based Metal-Organic Framework Acts as a Bifunctional Catalyst for the Homocoupling of Arylboronic Acids and Epoxidation of Olefins
-
A copper(I)-based metal-organic framework ({[Cu2Br2(pypz)]na.nH2O} (Cu-Br-MOF) [pypz=bis[3,5-dimethyl-4-(4'-pyridyl)pyrazol-1-yl] methane] has been synthesized by using an elongated and flexible bridging ligand. The structure analysis reveals that each pypz ligand acts as a tritopic ligand connected to two Cu2Br2 dimeric units, forming a one-dimensional zig-zag chain, and these chains further connected by a Cu2Br2 unit, give a two-dimensional framework on the bc-plane. In the Cu2Br2 dimeric unit, the copper ions are four coordinated, thereby possessing a tetrahedral geometry; this proves to be an excellent heterogeneous catalyst for the aerobic homocoupling of arylboronic acids under mild reaction conditions. This method requires only 3 mol % of catalyst and it does not require any base or oxidant-compared to other conventional (Cu, Pd, Fe, and Au) catalysts-for the transformation of arylboronic acids in very good yields (98 %). The shape and size selectivity of the catalyst in the homocoupling was investigated. The use of the catalyst was further extended to the epoxidation of olefins. Moreover, the catalyst can be easily separated by simple filtration and reused efficiently up to 5 cycles without major loss of reactivity.

- Imino-N-heterocyclic carbene palladium(ii) complex-catalyzed direct arylation of electron-deficient fluoroarenes with "on and off" chelating effect assistance
-
An imino-N-heterocyclic carbene palladium(II) complex with a bulky substituted group on the imino nitrogen was used to catalyze the direct arylation of electron-deficient fluoroarenes with aryl halides. A series of electron-poor substrates and aryl bromides could be coupled in good to excellent yields with satisfactory position selectivity (20 examples, up to 93%). These arylations could proceed at a relatively low temperature (80 °C, 20 examples, up to 95%) with mono-N-protected amino acid assistance. Some of them even gained higher yields than those at high temperature (110 °C). Otherwise, some aryl iodides can forge cross-coupling products in yields of nearly 30% under the optimized conditions. The rate profiles for arylation of electron-poor arenes were measured in the presence of the imino-N-heterocyclic carbene palladium(II) complex or Pd(OAc)2 as the catalyst, which showed that the former could keep catalytic activity for a longer time. Computational studies indicated that the imino nitrogen in the imino-N-heterocyclic carbene ligand can detach from and attach to the central metal in the catalytic cycle. Thus, the coordination site could be protected, and this effect may be responsible for decreasing the rate of palladium black formation.

- Catalyst activation, deactivation, and degradation in palladium-mediated negishi cross-coupling reactions
-
Pd-mediated Negishi cross-coupling reactions were studied by a combination of kinetic measurements, electrospray-ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry, 31P NMR and UV/Vis spectroscopy. The kinetic measurements point to a rate-determining oxidative addition. Surprisingly, this step seems to involve not only the Pd catalyst and the aryl halide substrate, but also the organozinc reagent. In this context, the ESI-mass spectrometric observation of heterobimetallic Pd-Zn complexes [L2PdZnR]+ (L=S-PHOS, R=Bu, Ph, Bn) is particularly revealing. The inferred presence of these and related neutral complexes with a direct Pd-Zn interaction in solution explains how the organozinc reagent can modulate the reactivity of the Pd catalyst. Previous theoretical calculations by Gonzlez-Prez et al. (Organometallics 2012, 31, 2053) suggest that the complexation by the organozinc reagent lowers the activity of the Pd catalyst. Presumably, a similar effect also causes the rate decrease observed upon addition of ZnBr2. In contrast, added LiBr apparently counteracts the formation of Pd-Zn complexes and restores the high activity of the Pd catalyst. At longer reaction times, deactivation processes due to degradation of the S-PHOS ligand and aggregation of the Pd catalyst come into play, thus further contributing to the appreciable complexity of the title reaction. Catalytic complexity: The Pd catalyst used in Negishi cross-coupling reactions shows an unexpected heterogeneity and complexity. Among the various species observed in solution, heterobimetallic Pd-Zn complexes are of particular interest (see figure). These species also seem key to understanding the kinetics of Negishi cross-coupling reactions. S-PHOS=2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2,6-dimethoxybiphenyl.

After the reducing power of the MNP has been depleted, the supported Pd complex remains an effective catalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling.

In particular, the nature of the surfactant has been found to be crucial in order to obtain synthetically useful results involving highly reactive, moisture-sensitive organometallics. Neither organic solvent nor heat is required for these cross-couplings to occur; just add water.

- Homodimeric bis-quaternary heterocyclic ammonium salts as potent acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors: A systematic investigation of the influence of linker and cationic heads over affinity and selectivity
-
A molecular library of quaternary ammonium salts (QASs), mainly composed of symmetrical bis-quaternary heterocyclic bromides exhibiting choline kinase (ChoK) inhibitory activity, were evaluated for their ability to inhibit acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase (AChE and BChE, respectively). The molecular framework of QASs consisted of two positively charged heteroaromatic (pyridinium or quinolinium) or sterically hindered aliphatic (quinuclidinium) nitrogen rings kept at an appropriate distance by lipophilic rigid or semirigid linkers. Many homodimeric QASs showed AChE and BChE inhibitory potency in the nanomolar range along with a low enzymatic selectivity. Computational studies on AChE, BChE, and ChoK allowed identification of the key molecular determinants for high affinity and selectivity over either one of the three enzymes and guided the design of a hybrid bis-QAS (56) exhibiting the highest AChE affinity (IC50 = 15 nM) and selectivity over BChE and ChoK (SI = 50 and 562, respectively) and a promising pharmacological potential in myasthenia gravis and neuromuscular blockade.

- Palladium catalyzed reductive homocoupling reactions of aromatic halides in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution
-
Biaryls were obtained in good to excellent yields from the palladium catalyzed reductive homocoupling reactions of various aryl iodides and bromides in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution without the need for any additional reducing reagents. Pd(dppf)Cl2 is the most effective among the screened palladium catalysts for the homocoupling reactions. Fluorides, carbonates, acetates and hydroxides can be used as bases at promoting the palladium catalyzed reductive homocoupling of aryl halides in DMSO solution. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) analysis shows that the oxidative Pd2+(dppf) species can be reduced into the Pd0(dppf) active species by solvent DMSO molecules to furnish the catalytic cycle, indicating that DMSO plays a dual role as both solvent and reducing reagent. A plausible reaction mechanism has been discussed. Elimination of additional reducing reagents will not only reduce the reaction operation cost, but will also simplify the product separation and purification.

- Cobalt-catalyzed formation of symmetrical biaryls and its mechanism
-
A method for cobalt-catalyzed formation of symmetrical biaryls and mechanism used for the formation, were reported. The study involved a new cobalt-catalyzed homo-coupling reaction in which cobalt was used with manganese dust as reducing agent. It was observed that the presence of allylchloride significantly reduced the amount of reduction compounds without modifying kinetics of the reactions and the reaction remained un-affected by the presence of air as oxidant. It was also found that no-reactions occurred in DMF, THF, and toluene in the presence of pyridine as co-solvent at room temperature, which indicated that MeCN acted as a ligand of the cobalt active species. The coupling process can be extended to less reactive aryl chlorides by changing some experimental conditions. DFT calculations revealed that the involvement of a CoI/CoIII couple was realistic in the case of 1,3-diazadienes as ligands.

- Homocoupling of arylboronic acids catalyzed by 1,10-phenanthroline-ligated copper complexes in air
-
The efficient homocoupling of arylboronic acids was achieved by using the catalytic combination of inexpensive copper salts and 1,10-phenanthroline as aligand. The homocoupling reaction proceeds at ambient temperature in air without any additives such as base or oxidant. This method tolerates various substituents on the arylboronic acids such as halogens, carbonyls, and a nitro group. As a result, 25 symmetrical biaryls were obtained from readily available arylboronic acids in 19-92% isolated yields. A binuclear (μ- hydroxido)copper complex is assumed as the catalytically active species, which undergoes efficient transmetalation with arylboronic acids to produce dinuclear arylcopper complexes. The binuclear structure is assumed to be essential for the bimetallic reductive elimination of biaryls as well as the oxidative restoration of the catalyst. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co, KGaA.

- Pd/TEMPO-catalyzed electrooxidative synthesis of biaryls from arylboronic acids or arylboronic esters
-
A facile electrooxidative method for synthesizing biaryls from arylboronic acids or arylboronic esters is described. In the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)2 and TEMPO, the electrooxidation of arylboronic acids or arylboronates gave the corresponding biaryls in moderate to excellent yields.

- Efficient cobalt-catalyzed formation of unsymmetrical biaryl compounds and its application in the synthesis of a sartan intermediate
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) No prior preparation of the organometallic reagent is required in a cobalt-catalyzed coupling of two different aryl halides under mild conditions (see scheme). A broad spectrum of valuable biaryl compounds can be prepared in this way. Not only may a variety of reactive substituents be present, but heteroaryl halides and aryl triflates are also suitable substrates. DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide, FG = functional group.

- Inter- and intramolecular palladium-catalyzed allyl cross-coupling reactions using allylindium generated in situ from allyl acetates, indium, and indium trichloride
-
Inter- and intramolecular palladium-catalyzed ally! cross-coupling reactions using allylindium generated in situ by treatment of allyl acetates with indium and indium trichloride in the presence of Pd0 catalyst and nBuNMe2 in DMF were successfully demonstrated. Allylindium species generated in situ by reductive transmetalation of π- allylpalladium(II) complexes, obtained from a variety of allyl acetales in the presence of Pd0 catalyst together with indium and indium trichloride, were found to be capable of acting as effective nucleophilic coupling partners in Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. A variety of allyl acetates such as but-l-en-3-yl acetate, crotyl acetate, and 2-methylallyl acetate afforded the corresponding allylic compounds in good yields in cross-coupling reactions. Various electrophilic cross-coupling partners such as aryl iodides and vinyl bromides and triflates participate in these reactions. Not only intermolecular but also intramolecular Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions work equally well to produce the desired allylic coupling products in good yields.

- Synthesis of indenes by the transition metal-mediated carboannulation of alkynes
-
The synthesis of highly substituted indenes has been achieved by three different transition metal-mediated methods. The first method involves the palladium-catalyzed carboannulation of internal alkynes. The second method utilizes a two-step approach, which involves first the palladium/copper- catalyzed cross-coupling of terminal alkynes with appropriately functionalized aryl halides, followed by copper-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization. The third method involves intermolecular palladium-catalyzed arylation of the arylalkynes formed in the first step of the second method.

- 2,2′-bipyridine: An efficient ligand in the cobalt-catalyzed synthesis of organozinc reagents from aryl chlorides and sulfonates
-
The synthesis of functionalized arylzinc reagents from aromatic chlorides, triflates, or mesylates, via cobalt catalysis, is reported using 2,2′-bipyridine as a ligand in a mixture of acetonitrile and pyridine. This procedure allows the synthesis of a variety of functionalized arylzinc species in good to excellent yields. Some of these arylzinc compounds have been coupled with aromatic bromides under palladium catalysis. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

- Palladium-catalyzed homocoupling and cross-coupling reactions of aryl halides in poly(ethylene glycol)
-
The direct coupling of aryl halides to prepare symmetrical and unsymmetrical biaryls were performed successfully in poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) using Pd(OAc)2 as the catalyst in the absence of other additives or reductants. The selectivity toward biaryl depended on the amount of PEG used. Excessive PEGs induce the increase of hydrodehalogenation product, and the best selectivity to biaryl is obtained when the concentration of the hydroxyl group in PEG achieves 100 mol% relative to aryl halides. The catalyst system could be recycled and reused up to five times with no loss of catalytic activity.
