Nickel(0)-catalyzed [2 + 2] annulation of electron-deficient allenes. Highly regioselective synthesis of cyclobutanes
Saito,Hirayama,Kabuto,Yamamoto
, p. 10776 - 10780 (2000)
The nickel-catalyzed [2 + 2] annulations of electron-deficient allenes proceed efficiently in a highly regioselective manner under very mild conditions to give the head-to-head cyclodimerization products, bismethylenecyclobutanes, as single isomers in good to fair yields. We also carried out the stoichiometric reaction of these allenes in the presence of Ni(0) complexes and elucidated the mechanism of this highly selective reaction.

Controlling the behavior of terminal alkynes in metal-catalyzed intermolecular tandem reactions is a formidable challenge despite the potential advantage offered by these strategies in modern synthesis. Herein, we describe that a nickel catalyst enables a tandem process involving the rapid dimerization of terminal alkynes into 1,3-enynes and the cycloaddition of these intermediates with an azetidinone, an oxetanone or benzocyclobutenones. Significantly, the slow or sequential addition of reagents and catalysts is not required to orchestrate their reactivity. These results are in stark contrast with previous cycloadditions of terminal alkynes with strained four-membered ring substrates, which previously led to oligomerization or cyclotrimerization, except in the case of tert-butylacetylene.

Studies into the mechanism of 8-aminoquinoline-directed nickel-catalyzed C(sp3)-H arylation with iodoarenes were carried out, to determine the catalyst resting state and optimize catalytic performance. Paramagnetic complexes undergo the key C-H activation step. The ubiquitous base Na2CO3is found to hinder catalysis; replacement of Na2CO3with NaOtBu gave improved catalytic turnovers under milder conditions. Deprotonation of the 8-aminoquinoline derivativeN-(quinolin-8-yl)pivalamide (1a) at the amide nitrogen using NaH, followed by reaction with NiCl2(PPh3)2allowed for the isolation of complex Ni([AQpiv]-κN,N)2(3) with chelating N-donors (where [AQpiv] = C9NH6NCOtBu). Complex3is a four-coordinate disphenoidal high-spin Ni(II) complex, excluding short anagostic Ni-tBu hydrogen interactions. Complex3reacts with the paddle-wheel [Ph3PNi(μ-CO2tBu)2]2(6·PPh3) ortBuCO2H to give insoluble {[AQpiv]Ni(O2CtBu)}2(5). Dissolution of5in donor solvents L (L= DMSO and DMF) gave a paramagnetic intermediate assigned by NMR as [AQpiv]Ni(O2CtBu)L (5·L) and equilibrium reformation of3and6·L. DFT calculations support this equilibrium in solution. Both3and5undergo C-H activation at temperatures as low as 80 °C and in the presence of PR3(PR3= PPh3, PiBu3) to give Ni(C9NH6NCOCMe2CH2-κN,N,C)PR3(7·PR3). The C-H functionalization reaction orders with respect to7·PiBu3, iodoarenes, and phosphines were determined. Hammett analysis using electronically different aryl iodides suggests a concerted oxidative addition mechanism for the C-H functionalization step; DFT calculations were also carried out to support this finding. When Na2CO3is used as the base, the rate determination step for C-H functionalization appears to be 8-aminoquinoline deprotonation and binding to Ni. The carbonate anion was also observed to provide a deleterious NMR-inactive low-energy off-cycle resting state in catalysis. Replacement of Na2CO3with NaOtBu improved catalysis at milder conditions and made carboxylic acid and phosphine additives unnecessary. Complex3and its functionalized analogues were observed as the catalyst resting state under these conditions.

The activation and reduction of nickel(II) salts under conditions relevant to Ni-catalyzed borylation reactions is reported. Methanolic solutions of NiCl2·6H2O reacted with >2 equiv of (iPr)2NEt were converted to polymeric Ni(OMe)2, which was characterized by IR spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility measurements, and verified by independent synthesis from NaOMe. When diboron reagents such as bis(neopentylglycolato) diboron (B2(npg)2) were exposed to methanolic solutions of Ni(II) salts and (iPr)2NEt, nickel metal was deposited along with the evolution of hydrogen gas. A direct relationship between yield of nickel metal and equivalents of B2(npg)2 relative to [Ni] was also observed, reaching >99% yield at 8 equiv. Ni(0) coordination complexes were also isolated when a phosphine, phosphite, and/or diene ligand was present, all starting from NiCl2·6H2O, including the following: Ni[P(OPh)3]4 (74% yield), Ni[P(OiPr)3]4 (54% yield), Ni(PPh3)4 (75% yield), (dppp)2Ni + Ni(1,5-cod)2 (dppp = 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphine)propane) (91% yield), Ni(1,5-cod)2 (1,5-cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) (69% yield), and (dppf)Ni(1,5-cod) (dppf = 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene) (84% yield). The high yields observed indicated the efficient reduction of Ni(II) to Ni(0) and a likely route for precatalyst entry into the Ni-borylation catalytic cycle. These in situ reduction conditions were also successfully applied to a previously developed Ni-catalyzed alpha-arylation reaction where the requisite Ni(1,5-cod)2 precatalyst was substituted for NiCl2·6H2O and catalytic diboron. Comparable yields to the original report were observed under these conditions, further demonstrating that Ni(0) active species can be efficiently accessed with diboron reagents under protic conditions from Ni(II) salt hydrates.

Reactions of the nickel(0) compound NiL4 (L = PPh3) with alkyl halides RX involve initial inner-sphere halogen atom abstraction from the alkyl halides to form alkyl radicals R· and halonickel(I) metalloradical species NiX(PPh3)2,3. The radical pairs then undergo combination within the solvent cage to give the square planar nickel(II) compounds NiRX(PPh3)2. Radical intermediacy is demonstrated persuasively by observations that the relative rates vary in the orders tert-butyl > sec-butyl > n-butyl and RI > RBr > RCl, while density functional theory calculations indicate that the radical mechanism provides a lower energy pathway than do alternative, more conventional pathways. The product of the reaction of Ni(PPh3)4 with methyl iodide, NiMeI(PPh3)2, decomposes in solution to ethane and NiI(PPh3)2,3, but when RX = EtI, n-BuI, sec-BuI, tert-BuI, the alkyl-nickel products undergo rapid β-hydrogen elimination to give the hydride NiHI(PPh3)2 plus the corresponding alkene(s). Reactions also occur in which a portion of the alkyl radicals diffuses from the solvent cage and abstracts hydrogen from NiHI(PPh3)2 to form alkanes RH and Ni(I) species NiI(PPh3)2. As a result, NiHI(PPh3)2 is invariably a minor product while the major products are alkanes RH, alkenes R-H, and NiI(PPh3)2. Hydride NiHI(PPh3)2 is found to decompose to H2 and NiI(PPh3)2 but is stable at low temperatures where it exhibits unusual NMR behavior because of exchange involving free PPh3 and the bis- and trisphosphine species, NiHI(PPh3)2 and NiHI(PPh3)3. Present in all of the reactions are paramagnetic, substitution-labile Ni(I) metalloradical species. As a result, resonances of PPh3, ethylene, and the smaller iodoalkenes are generally broad and shifted because of exchange between free and coordinated ligands.
Catalysis of Cross-Coupling and Homocoupling Reactions of Aryl Halides Utilizing Ni(0), Ni(I), and Ni(II) Precursors; Ni(0) Compounds as the Probable Catalytic Species but Ni(I) Compounds as Intermediates and Products

Both Ni(0) and Ni(I) compounds are believed to exhibit cross-coupling catalytic properties under various conditions, and the compounds Ni(PPh3)4 and NiCl(PPh3)3 are compared as catalysts for representative Suzuki-Miyaura and Heck-Mizoroki cross-coupling reactions. The Ni(0) compound exhibits catalytic activities, for cross-coupling of chloro and bromoanisole with phenylboronic acid and of bromobenzene with styrene, yielding results which are comparable with those of many palladium-based catalysts, but our findings with NiCl(PPh3)3 are at this point unclear. It seems to convert to catalytically active Ni(0) species under Suzuki-Miyaura reaction conditions and is ineffective for Heck-Mizoroki cross-coupling. The paramagnetic Ni(I) compounds NiX(PPh3)3 (X = Cl, Br, I) are characterized for the first time by 1H NMR spectroscopy and are found to exhibit broad meta and para resonances at δ 9-11 and 3-4, respectively, and very broad ortho resonances at δ 46; these resonances are very useful for detecting Ni(I) species in solution. The chemical shifts of NiCl(PPh3)3 vary with the concentration of free PPh3, with which it exchanges, and are also temperature-dependent, consistent with Curie law behavior. The compound trans-NiPhCl(PPh3)2, the product of oxidative addition of chlorobenzene to Ni(PPh3)4 and a putative intermediate in cross-coupling reactions of chlorobenzene, is found during the course of this investigation to exhibit entirely unanticipated thermal lability in solution in the absence of free PPh3. It readily decomposes to biphenyl and NiCl(PPh3)2 in a reaction relevant to the long-known but little-understood nickel-catalyzed conversion of aryl halides to biaryls. Ni(I) and biphenyl formation is initiated by PPh3 dissociation from trans-NiPhCl(PPh3)2 and formation of a dinuclear intermediate, a process which is now better defined using DFT methodologies.

An improved and efficient synthesis of pinene based two bipyridyldiols and bipyridine is reported. For the first time, the sealed tube-pressure reaction of pinene based pyridone with phosphoryl chloride produced an excellent yield (95%) of pinene based 2-chloropyridine, which renders synthesizing pinene based bipyridyldiols a highly inexpensive and high yielding process. Moreover, highly effective reaction condition was developed for homocoupling of chloropyridine with Ni(0) that afforded pinene based bipyridine in a high yield (84%). These newly demonstrated sealed tube-pressure chlorination and homocoupling reaction of chloropyridine afford extremely effect route for the synthesis of pinene based bipyridine.
Tandem redox mediator/Ni(II) trihalide complex photocycle for hydrogen evolution from HCl

, p. 917 - 922 (2015/02/05)
Photoactivation of M-X bonds is a challenge for photochemical HX splitting, particularly with first-row transition metal complexes because of short intrinsic excited state lifetimes. Herein, we report a tandem H2 photocycle based on combination of a non-basic photoredox phosphine mediator and nickel metal catalyst. Synthetic studies and time-resolved photochemical studies have revealed that phosphines serve as photochemical H-atom donors to Ni(II) trihalide complexes to deliver a Ni(I) centre. The H2 evolution catalytic cycle is closed by sequential disproportionation of Ni(I) to afford Ni(0) and Ni(II) and protolytic H2 evolution from the Ni(0) intermediate. The results of these investigations suggest that H2 photogeneration proceeds by two sequential catalytic cycles: a photoredox cycle catalyzed by phosphines and an H2-evolution cycle catalyzed by Ni complexes to circumvent challenges of photochemistry with first-row transition metal complexes.
