- Water Phase, Room Temperature, Ligand-Free Suzuki–Miyaura Cross-Coupling: A Green Gateway to Aryl Ketones by C–N Bond Cleavage
-
We report herein a green strategy for synthesis of aryl ketones from twisted amides by using Pd(OAc)2 as catalysts. This method shows high functional group tolerance to offer a variety of ketones in good yields under mild conditions (up to 94 %). Notably, this methodology demonstrates the first water phase, room temperature, ligand-free Suzuki–Miyaura coupling through C–N bond cleavage, which is environmentally friendly and might facilitate the development of amide based green chemistry.

- Synergistic Activation of Amides and Hydrocarbons for Direct C(sp3)–H Acylation Enabled by Metallaphotoredox Catalysis
-
The utilizations of omnipresent, thermodynamically stable amides and aliphatic C(sp3)?H bonds for various functionalizations are ongoing challenges in catalysis. In particular, the direct coupling between the two functional groups has not been realized. Here, we report the synergistic activation of the two challenging bonds, the amide C?N and unactivated aliphatic C(sp3)?H, via metallaphotoredox catalysis to directly acylate aliphatic C?H bonds utilizing amides as stable and readily accessible acyl surrogates. N-acylsuccinimides served as efficient acyl reagents for the streamlined synthesis of synthetically useful ketones from simple C(sp3)?H substrates. Detailed mechanistic investigations using both computational and experimental mechanistic studies were performed to construct a detailed and complete catalytic cycle. The origin of the superior reactivity of the N-acylsuccinimides over other more reactive acyl sources such as acyl chlorides was found to be an uncommon reaction pathway which commences with C?H activation prior to oxidative addition of the acyl substrate.

- N-Acylsuccinimides: Efficient acylative coupling reagents in palladium-catalyzed Suzuki coupling via C–N cleavage
-
An acylative Suzuki coupling of activated amides with aryl boronic acids has been reported via palladium-catalyzed C–N bond cleavage. This protocol demonstrate amides can be activated by an atom-economic and cheap succinimide, which can be efficiently utilized to synthesize broad array of diaryl ketones in moderate to good yields.
