Scalable Negishi Coupling between Organozinc Compounds and (Hetero)Aryl Bromides under Aerobic Conditions when using Bulk Water or Deep Eutectic Solvents with no Additional Ligands

Pd-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling reactions between organozinc compounds and (hetero)aryl bromides have been reported when using bulk water as the reaction medium in the presence of NaCl or the biodegradable choline chloride/urea eutectic mixture. Both C(sp3)-C(sp2) and C(sp2)-C(sp2) couplings have been found to proceed smoothly, with high chemoselectivity, under mild conditions (room temperature or 60 °C) in air, and in competition with protonolysis. Additional benefits include very short reaction times (20 s), good to excellent yields (up to 98 %), wide substrate scope, and the tolerance of a variety of functional groups. The proposed novel protocol is scalable, and the practicability of the method is further highlighted by an easy recycling of both the catalyst and the eutectic mixture or water.

The Role of LiBr and ZnBr2 on the Cross-Coupling of Aryl Bromides with Bu2Zn or BuZnBr

The impact of LiBr and ZnBr2 salts on the Negishi coupling of alkylZnBr and dialkylzinc nucleophiles with both electron-rich and -poor aryl electrophiles has been examined. Focusing only on the more difficult coupling of deactivated (electron-rich) oxidative addition partners, LiBr promotes coupling with BuZnBr, but does not have such an effect with Bu2Zn. The presence of exogenous ZnBr2 shuts down the coupling of both BuZnBr and Bu2Zn, which has been shown before with alkyl electrophiles. Strikingly, the addition of LiBr to Bu2Zn reactions containing exogenous ZnBr2 now fully restores coupling to levels seen without any salt present. This suggests that there is a very important interaction between LiBr and ZnBr2. It is proposed that Lewis acid adducts are forming between ZnBr2 and the electron-rich Pd0 centre and the bromide from LiBr forms inorganic zincates that prevent the catalyst from binding to ZnBr2. This idea has been supported by catalyst design as chlorinating the backbone of the NHC ring of Pd-PEPPSI-IPent to produce Pd-PEPPSI-IPentCl catalyst now gives quantitative conversion, up from a ceiling of only 50 % with the former catalyst.

Regioselective mononitration of aromatic compounds with N2O5 by acidic ionic liquids via continuous flow microreactor

We employed N2O5 as highly active nitrating reagents and a host of acidic ionic liquid as catalysts in these reactions which were conducted in a continuous flow microreactor. When we utilized PEG400-DAIL as catalysts, the conversion of toluene was increased to 95.5 % and the yield of mononitration product (o/p ratio reached 1.10) significantly improved to 99 %, meanwhile the reaction time was drastically shortened to 1/120 of the conventional reactor. Nitration in ionic liquids was surveyed using a host of aromatic substrates with similar reactivity. The ionic liquid recycling procedures had also been devised.

The use of K3PO4 base allows for highly chemoselective alkyl coupling with both primary and secondary alkyl groups (Alk).

(Chemical Equation Presented) The catalytic activity of a PCN-type palladium pincer complex is evaluated in the construction of C(sp 2)-C(sp2) and C(sp2)-C(sp3) bonds by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings employing nontypical substrates such as benzyl halides, α-haloenones, or alkylboronic acids as coupling partners. Most of the reported reactions are achieved in aqueous media, with all of the advantages implied.

Unexpected formation of aryl ketones by palladium-catalyzed coupling of aryl bromides with vinylic acetates

A palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of aryl bromides with vinylic acetates in the presence of tributyitin methoxide has been described. Unexpected formation of aryl ketones was obtained. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicated that the reaction proceeded by the addition of the aryl moiety in the coordination sphere of palladium to a ketene.
