Transition metal-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling (XEC) is a powerful tool for forging C(sp2)–C(sp2) bonds in biaryl molecules from abundant aromatic halides. While the synthesis of unsymmetrical biaryl compounds through multimetallic XEC is of high synthetic value, the selective XEC of two heteroaromatic halides remains elusive and challenging. Herein, we report a homogeneous XEC method, which relies on a zirconaaziridine complex as a shuttle for dual palladium-catalyzed processes. The zirconaaziridine-mediated palladium (ZAPd)-catalyzed reaction shows excellent compatibility with various functional groups and diverse heteroaromatic scaffolds. In accord with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, a redox transmetallation between the oxidative addition product and the zirconaaziridine is proposed as the crucial elementary step. Thus, cross-coupling selectivity using a single transition metal catalyst is controlled by the relative rate of oxidative addition of Pd(0) into the aromatic halide. Overall, the concept of a combined reducing and transmetallating agent offers opportunities for the development of transition metal reductive coupling catalysis.

The Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of 2-bromo-1,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene with arylboronic acids was evaluated and determined to suffer from the formation of large amounts of boronic acid homocoupling products in conjunction with dehalogenation. Homocoupling product formation in this process likely occurs through a rare protonolysis/second transmetalation event rather than by the well-established mechanism requiring the involvement of O 2. The scope of this boronic acid homocoupling reaction was investigated and shown to predominate with electron-deficient arylboronic acids. Finally, a good yield of cross-coupling products could be obtained by employing dicyclohexyl(2′,6′-dimethoxybiphenyl-2-yl)phosphine (SPhos) as the ligand.

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.
