Reactivity of mixed organozinc and mixed organocopper reagents: 6. Nickel-catalyzed coupling of methylarylzincs with primary alkyl halides; An atom-economic aryl-alkyl coupling

A nickel-catalyzed process for the cross-coupling of mixed arylzincs and primary alkyl halides has been developed. The reaction of a methylarylzinc with a primary alkyl halide in THF in the presence of NiCl2/PPh 3 takes place with selective aryl transfer at room temperature in moderate yields. This protocol provides an atom-economic alternative to aryl-primary alkyl coupling using diarylzincs.

Photochemistry of substituted benzyl acetates and benzyl pivalates: A reinvestigation of substituent effects
Hilborn,MacKnight,Pincock,Wedge
, p. 3337 - 3346 (1994)
The photosolvolysis reactions, in methanol, of six substituted benzyl acetates (7a-f) and benzyl pivalates (8a-f) were studied. Five major benzylic products were formed from two critical intermediates. The ethers (9) were formed from the ion pair, 15, and all of the other products (10-14) were formed from the radical pair, 16. Quenching studies showed that only excited singlet state reactivity was important. The product yields were found to be highly substituent dependent. For instance, for the acetate esters, the yield of ether (9) varied from 2% for X = 4-OCH3 to 32% for X = 3-OCH3. Most of the differences in the yields could be attributed to ground state processes that occur after bond cleavage. The important competition is between electron transfer, converting the radical pair to the ion pair, and decarboxylation of RCO2*. The rates of electron transfer are shown to fit Marcus theory in both the normal and inverted regions. Direct heterolytic cleavage to form the ion pair is of minimal importance.

Methyl groups are ubiquitous in biologically active molecules. Thus, new tactics to introduce this alkyl fragment into polyfunctional structures are of significant interest. With this goal in mind, a direct method for the Markovnikov hydromethylation of alkenes is reported. This method exploits the degenerate metathesis reaction between the titanium methylidene unveiled from Cp2Ti(μ-Cl)(μ-CH2)AlMe2 (Tebbe's reagent) and unactivated alkenes. Protonolysis of the resulting titanacyclobutanes in situ effects hydromethylation in a chemo-, regio-, and site-selective manner. The broad utility of this method is demonstrated across a series of mono- and di-substituted alkenes containing pendant alcohols, ethers, amides, carbamates, and basic amines.

The readily-accessible, air-stable Lewis acid [(terpy)PPh][B(C6F5)4]21 is shown to mediate the hydrosilylation of aldehydes, ketones, and olefins. The utility and mechanism of these hydrosilylations are considered.

Here, we describe a photoredox-assisted catalytic system for the direct reductive coupling of two carbon electrophiles. Recent advances have shown that nickel catalysts are active toward the coupling of sp3-carbon electrophiles and that well-controlled, light-driven coupling systems are possible. Our system, composed of a nickel catalyst, an iridium photosensitizer, and an amine electron donor, is capable of coupling halocarbons with high yields. Spectroscopic studies support a mechanism where under visible light irradiation the Ir photosensitizer in conjunction with triethanolamine are capable of reducing a nickel catalyst and activating the catalyst toward cross-coupling of carbon electrophiles. The synthetic methodology developed here operates at low 1 mol % catalyst and photosensitizer loadings. The catalytic system also operates without reaction additives such as inorganic salts or bases. A general and effective sp2-sp3 cross-coupling scheme has been achieved that exhibits tolerance to a wide array of functional groups.
