-
The C-H bond addition reaction of 2-phenylpyridine derivatives with α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids catalyzed by Cp*Rh(iii)/BH3·SMe2is reported. Activation of C-H bonds with the rhodium catalyst and activation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids with the boron catalyst cooperatively work, and a BINOL-urea hybrid ligand significantly improved the reactivity. With the optimized hybrid catalytic system, various β-disubstituted carboxylic acids were obtained under mild reaction conditions.

- Decarbonylative Pd-Catalyzed Suzuki Cross-Coupling for the Synthesis of Structurally Diverse Heterobiaryls
-
Heteroaromatic biaryls are core scaffolds found in a plethora of pharmaceuticals; however, their direct synthesis by the Suzuki cross-coupling is limited to heteroaromatic halide starting materials. Here, we report a direct synthesis of diverse nitrogen-containing heteroaromatic biaryls by Pd-catalyzed decarbonylative Suzuki cross-coupling of widely available heterocyclic carboxylic acids with arylboronic acids. The practical and modular nature of this cross-coupling enabled the straightforward preparation of >45 heterobiaryl products using pyridines, pyrimidines, pyrazines, and quinolines in excellent yields. We anticipate that the modular nature of this protocol will find broad application in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery research.

Herein, we disclose a highly chemoselective room-temperature deoxygenation method applicable to various functionalized N-heterocyclic N-oxides via visible light-mediated metallaphotoredox catalysis using Hantzsch esters as the sole stoichiometric reductant. Despite the feasibility of catalyst-free conditions, most of these deoxygenations can be completed within a few minutes using only a tiny amount of a catalyst. This technology also allows for multigram-scale reactions even with an extremely low catalyst loading of 0.01 mol %. The scope of this scalable and operationally convenient protocol encompasses a wide range of functional groups, such as amides, carbamates, esters, ketones, nitrile groups, nitro groups, and halogens, which provide access to the corresponding deoxygenated N-heterocycles in good to excellent yields (an average of an 86.8% yield for a total of 45 examples).

- Magnetic chitosan-functionalized cobalt-NHC: Synthesis, characterization and catalytic activity toward Suzuki and Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions of aryl chlorides
-
Aryl chlorides are one of the most stable and available electrophiles, however, their coupling with nucleophiles remains a challenge in organic synthesis. Herein, we prepared a Cobalt-NHC (N-Heterocyclic carbene) complex anchored on magnetic chitosan nanoparticles and assayed its catalytic activity for the reactions of substituted phenylboronic acid and also phenlacetylene with derivatives of aryl chlorides. These reactions are of great importance since they are employed for the synthesis of unsymmetrical diarylethynes and biphenyls, which belong to a prime class of building blocks. The synthesized nanocatalyst was found to be highly efficient in Suzuki and Sonogashira coupling in terms of their activity and recyclability in polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a green reaction media under conditions of temperatures (70 and 100 °C) and Co loading (3 and 6 mol%). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt of using cobalt-NHC complex for catalyzing the abovementioned reactions. Moreover, replacing the earth-abundant Cobalt-based catalyst as an alternative to high cost palladium make this approach promising from sustainable chemistry view.

- Desulfonative Suzuki–Miyaura Coupling of Sulfonyl Fluorides
-
Sulfonyl fluorides have emerged as powerful “click” electrophiles to access sulfonylated derivatives. Yet, they are relatively inert towards C?C bond forming transformations, notably under transition-metal catalysis. Here, we describe conditions under which aryl sulfonyl fluorides act as electrophiles for the Pd-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling. This desulfonative cross-coupling occurs selectively in the absence of base and, unusually, even in the presence of strong acids. Divergent one-step syntheses of two analogues of bioactive compounds showcase the expanded reactivity of sulfonyl fluorides to encompass both S?Nu and C?C bond formation. Mechanistic experiments and DFT calculations suggest oxidative addition occurs at the C?S bond followed by desulfonation to form a Pd-F intermediate that facilitates transmetalation.

- Practical and Regioselective Synthesis of C-4-Alkylated Pyridines
-
The direct position-selective C-4 alkylation of pyridines has been a long-standing challenge in heterocyclic chemistry, particularly from pyridine itself. Historically this has been addressed using prefunctionalized materials to avoid overalkylation and mixtures of regioisomers. This study reports the invention of a simple maleate-derived blocking group for pyridines that enables exquisite control for Minisci-type decarboxylative alkylation at C-4 that allows for inexpensive access to these valuable building blocks. The method is employed on a variety of different pyridines and carboxylic acid alkyl donors, is operationally simple and scalable, and is applied to access known structures in a rapid and inexpensive fashion. Finally, this work points to an interesting strategic departure for the use of Minisci chemistry at the earliest possible stage (native pyridine) rather than current dogma that almost exclusively employs Minisci chemistry as a late-stage functionalization technique.

- Base-Activated Latent Heteroaromatic Sulfinates as Nucleophilic Coupling Partners in Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions
-
Heteroaromatic sulfinates are effective nucleophilic reagents in Pd0-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with aryl halides. However, metal sulfinate salts can be challenging to purify, solubilize in reaction media, and are not tolerant to multi-step transformations. Here we introduce base-activated, latent sulfinate reagents: β-nitrile and β-ester sulfones. We show that under the cross-coupling conditions, these species generate the sulfinate salt in situ, which then undergo efficient palladium-catalyzed desulfinative cross-coupling with (hetero)aryl bromides to deliver a broad range of biaryls. These latent sulfinate reagents have proven to be stable through multi-step substrate elaboration, and amenable to scale-up.

- Ni-Catalyzed Aryl Sulfide Synthesis through an Aryl Exchange Reaction
-
A Ni-catalyzed aryl sulfide synthesis through an aryl exchange reaction between aryl sulfides and a variety of aryl electrophiles was developed. By using 2-pyridyl sulfide as a sulfide donor, this reaction achieved the synthesis of aryl sulfides without using odorous and toxic thiols. The use of a Ni/dcypt catalyst capable of cleaving and forming aryl-S bonds was important for the aryl exchange reaction between 2-pyridyl sulfides and aryl electrophiles, which include aromatic esters, arenol derivatives, and aryl halides. Mechanistic studies revealed that Ni/dcypt can simultaneously undergo oxidative additions of aryl sulfides and aromatic esters, followed by ligand exchange between the generated aryl-Ni-SR and aryl-Ni-OAr species to furnish aryl exchanged compounds.

Since abnormal levels of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) correlate with various diseases, simple methods for its rapid and sensitive detection are highly required. Herein, we introduce a new electrochemiluminescent probe 1 for H2S based on a cyclometalated iridium(iii) complex. o-(Azidomethyl)benzoate ester groups on the main ligands of probe 1 react selectively with H2S, resulting in cascade reactions involving H2S-mediated reduction and intramolecular cyclization/ester cleavage. With this structural change induced by H2S, the intrinsic electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of 1 decreased greatly due to the unfavourable electron transfer of a tripropylamine (TPA) radical. Probe 1 showed a high ECL turn-off ratio and good selectivity for H2S over various anions and biothiols. The sensing mechanism of H2S was elucidated using1H NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry analyses.

The scope of the aryldiazonium salts is presented showing important results depending on the nature and position of the substituent group in the diazonium salt, that is, electron-donating or electron-withdrawing in the ortho, meta, or para positions. Further heteroaromatics were also successfully photoarylated. Mechanistic studies and comparison between our methodology and similar metal-catalyzed procedures are presented, suggesting the occurrence of a visible-light EDA complex which generates the aryl radical with no need for an additional photocatalyst.

- Reversible Concerted Metalation-Deprotonation C-H Bond Activation by [Cp*RhCl2]2
-
The reversibility of the concerted metalation-deprotonation exchange of eight para-substituted phenylpyridines is examined with the parent Cp*RhCl(κ-C,N-NC5H4-C6H4). Equilibrium constants are determined, and the free energies are used to extract the most important parameters that control the thermodynamics. Keq values are found to correlate best with heterolytic C-H bond strengths but in a way that is not obvious considering the electrophilic nature of these activations.

- Suzuki–Miyaura Coupling of (Hetero)Aryl Sulfones: Complementary Reactivity Enables Iterative Polyaryl Synthesis
-
Ideal organic syntheses involve the rapid construction of C?C bonds, with minimal use of functional group interconversions. The Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling (SMC) is a powerful way to form biaryl linkages, but the relatively similar reactivity of electrophilic partners makes iterative syntheses involving more than two sequential coupling events difficult to achieve without additional manipulations. Here we introduce (hetero)aryl sulfones as electrophilic coupling partners for the SMC reaction, which display an intermediate reactivity between those of typical aryl (pseudo)halides and nitroarenes. The new complementary reactivity allows for rapid sequential cross-coupling of arenes bearing chloride, sulfone and nitro leaving groups, affording non-symmetric ter- and quateraryls in only 2 or 3 steps, respectively. The SMC reactivity of (hetero)aryl sulfones is demonstrated in over 30 examples. Mechanistic experiments and DFT calculations are consistent with oxidative addition into the sulfone C?S bond as the turnover-limiting step. The further development of electrophilic cross-coupling partners with complementary reactivity may open new possibilities for divergent iterative synthesis starting from small pools of polyfunctionalized arenes.

- Desulfinative palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of arylsulfonyl hydrazides with aryl bromides under air
-
A highly efficient and mild palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of arylsulfonyl hydrazides and aryl bromides for the selective synthesis of unsymmetrical biaryls has been developed. This methodology has the advantages of easily accessible starting materials, functional group tolerance and a wide range of substrates, which provide rapid access to biaryls derivatives. In this protocol, abundant and stable aryl bromides serve as the aryl sources by coupling reaction of the aryl group generated from arylsulfonyl hydrazides via in situ release of nitrogen and sulfur dioxide. No external oxidants or acids are needed for this kind of transformation.

- Metal-Free Aerobic Oxidative Selective C-C Bond Cleavage in Heteroaryl-Containing Primary and Secondary Alcohols
-
A transition-metal-free aerobic oxidative selective C-C bond-cleavage reaction in primary and secondary heteroaryl alcohols is reported. This reaction was highly efficient and tolerated various heteroaryl alcohols, generating a carboxylic acid derivative and a neutral heteroaromatic compound. Experimental studies combined with density functional theory calculations revealed the mechanism underlying the selective C-C bond cleavage. This strategy also provides an alternative simple approach to carboxylation reaction.

- Ligand-free palladium catalyzed Ullmann biaryl synthesis: 'Household' reagents and mild reaction conditions
-
A palladium catalysed Ullmann biaryl synthesis has been developed using hydrazine hydrate as the reducing reagent at room temperature. The combination of Pd(OAc)2 and hydrazine hydrate works smoothly for the coupling of both electron-rich and electron-deficient aryl iodides, as well as hetero-aryl iodides, leading to a wide range of biaryls in good to excellent yields. The reaction requires only 1 mol% Pd(OAc)2 and the in situ generated palladium naoparticles are found to be active catalysts.

- Synthesis, structure, and synthetic potential of arenediazonium trifluoromethanesulfonates as stable and safe diazonium salts
-
Aromatic diazonium salts are valuable building blocks for organic synthesis; however, in most cases, they are unstable, unsafe, poorly soluble, and/or expensive. In this paper, we have shown that a variety of stable and safe arenediazonium triflates ArN2+ TfO– can be obtained easily and in high yields by diazotization of anilines with tert-butyl nitrite in the presence of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. Arenediazonium triflates are relatively shelf-stable in the dry state. They dissolve well in water, as well as polar and even nonpolar organic solvents. Less than 800 J/g of energy is released during the thermal decomposition of these salts, which indicates their explosion safety. Arenediazonium triflates have a high reactivity in the known reactions of diazonium chemistry, and undergo an unusual metal-free chlorodediazonization reaction with chloroform and CCl4.

- Nickel-Catalyzed Alkylation of Ketone Enolates: Synthesis of Monoselective Linear Ketones
-
Herein we have developed a Ni-catalyzed protocol for the synthesis of linear ketones. Aryl, alkyl, and heteroaryl ketones as well as alcohols yielded the monoselective ketones in up to 90% yield. The catalytic protocol was successfully applied in to a gram-scale synthesis. For a practical utility, applications of a steroid derivative, oleyl alcohol, and naproxen alcohol were employed. Preliminary catalytic investigations involving the isolation of a Ni intermediate and defined Ni-H species as well as a series of deuterium-labeling experiments were performed.

- Nitro group reduction and Suzuki reaction catalysed by palladium supported on magnetic nanoparticles modified with carbon quantum dots generated from glycerol and urea
-
Glycerol and urea were used as green and cheap sources of carbon quantum dots (CQD) for modifying Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs). The obtained CQD@Fe3O4 NPs were used for the stabilization of palladium species and the prepared catalyst, Pd@CQD@Fe3O4, was characterized using various techniques. This magnetic supported palladium was applied as an efficient catalyst for the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to primary amines at room temperature using very low palladium loading (0.008?mol%) and also for the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides as well as challenging heteroaryl bromides and aryl diazonium salts with arylboronic acids and with potassium phenyltrifluoroborate. This magnetically recyclable catalyst was recovered and reused for seven consecutive runs in the reduction of 4-nitrotoluene to p-toluidine and for ten consecutive runs in the reaction of 4-iodoanisole with phenylboronic acid with small decrease of activity. The catalyst reused in the Suzuki reaction was characterized using transmission electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Using experiments such as hot filtration and poisoning tests, it has been shown that the true catalyst works under homogeneous conditions according to the release–return pathway of active palladium species.

- Highly active and reusable hydrotalcite-supported Pd(0) catalyst for Suzuki coupling reactions of aryl bromides and chlorides
-
A palladium(0) nanocluster supported on hydrotalcite has been prepared and tested for the Suzuki coupling reaction. The prepared catalyst showed very efficient catalytic activity for cross coupling of iodo- and bromoarenes under very mild reaction conditions, affording >90% yield. Under the optimized reaction conditions, chloroarenenes also showed very good reactivity. Transmission electron microscopic imaging data showed the formation of very small Pd(0)-nanoclusters (d = 2.2 ± 0.5 nm) well dispersed on the support, which enhanced the activity and stability of the catalyst for the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. This catalytic system offers an easy method of preparation with good activity and reusability up to five cycles.

- Dibenzofuran and dibenzothiophene based palladium(ii)/NHC catalysts-synthesis and applications in C-C bond formation
-
In the quest for a new ligand system for Pd(ii)/NHCs, we developed new dibenzofuran and dibenzothiophene based palladium N-heterocyclic carbene catalysts D1-D6 in good yields. All the catalysts were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and HRMS. The X-ray crystal structure of the representative dibenzothiophene based Pd(ii)/NHC D4 was determined. Among the precatalysts, D1 was shown to be highly effective in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of heterocyclic bromides with boronic acids. Besides, D1 affords diverse arylated benzoxazoles via direct C-H bond functionalization with substituted bromo derivatives.

- Spin-Center Shift-Enabled Direct Enantioselective α-Benzylation of Aldehydes with Alcohols
-
Nature routinely engages alcohols as leaving groups, as DNA biosynthesis relies on the removal of water from ribonucleoside diphosphates by a radical-mediated "spin-center shift" (SCS) mechanism. Alcohols, however, remain underused as alkylating agents in synthetic chemistry due to their low reactivity in two-electron pathways. We report herein an enantioselective α-benzylation of aldehydes using alcohols as alkylating agents based on the mechanistic principle of spin-center shift. This strategy harnesses the dual activation modes of photoredox and organocatalysis, engaging the alcohol by SCS and capturing the resulting benzylic radical with a catalytically generated enamine. Mechanistic studies provide evidence for SCS as a key elementary step, identify the origins of competing reactions, and enable improvements in chemoselectivity by rational photocatalyst design.
