The metal-free activation of C(sp3)?H bonds to value-added products is of paramount importance in organic synthesis. We report the use of the commercially available organic dye 2,4,6-triphenylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate (TPP) for the conversion of methylarenes to the corresponding aryl nitriles via a photocatalytic process. Applying this methodology, a variety of cyanobenzenes have been synthesized in good to excellent yield under metal- and cyanide-free conditions. We demonstrate the scope of the method with over 50 examples including late-stage functionalization of drug molecules (celecoxib) and complex structures such as l-menthol, amino acids, and cholesterol derivatives. Furthermore, the presented synthetic protocol is applicable for gram-scale reactions. In addition to methylarenes, selected examples for the cyanation of aldehydes, alcohols and oximes are demonstrated as well. Detailed mechanistic investigations have been carried out using time-resolved luminescence quenching studies, control experiments, and NMR spectroscopy as well as kinetic studies, all supporting the proposed catalytic cycle.
Continuous-Flow Pd-Catalyzed Carbonylation of Aryl Chlorides with Carbon Monoxide at Elevated Temperature and Pressure

The development of a continuous-flow protocol for a palladium-catalyzed methoxycarbonylation of (hetero)aryl chlorides using carbon monoxide gas and methanol is described. (Hetero)aryl chlorides are the least expensive of the aryl halides, but are underutilized in carbonylation reactions due to their very poor reactivity. The described protocol exploits intensified conditions at elevated temperature and pressure, which are readily accessed within a continuous-flow environment, to provide moderate to excellent product yields (11 examples) in a short 16 min residence time. The continuous-flow protocol enables the safe and potentially scalable carbonylation of aryl chlorides using CO gas.

Abstract: An efficient and simple synthetic protocol for the synthesis of a number methyl esters of 2-(N-hydroxycarbamimidoyl)benzoyl-substituted (S)-α-amino acids via subsequent coupling and hydroxyamination of 2-cyanobenzamide derivatives has been developed. Comparative analysis of three pseudopeptide series based on 2-cyano- and 2-amidoxime-substituted benzoic acid and its pyridine and pyrazine counterparts has been provided and it has revealed a practical advantage of the benzoic acid derivatives due to their greater availability. The impact of the nitrogen atom in the aromatic ring on the trans/cis-amide equilibrium in the proline derivatives is discussed. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
