Direct C-H Arylation of Aldehydes by Merging Photocatalyzed Hydrogen Atom Transfer with Palladium Catalysis

Herein, we report that merging palladium catalysis with hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) photocatalysis enabled direct arylations and alkenylations of aldehyde C-H bonds, facilitating visible light-catalyzed construction of a variety of ketones. Tetrabutylammonium decatungstate and anthraquinone were found to act as synergistic HAT photocatalysts. Density functional theory calculations suggested a Pd0-PdII-PdIII-PdI-Pd0 pathway and revealed that regeneration of the Pd0 catalyst and the photocatalyst occurs simultaneously in the presence of KHCO3. This regeneration features a low energy barrier, promoting efficient coupling of the palladium catalytic cycle with the photocatalytic cycle. The work reported herein suggests great promise for further applications of HAT photocatalysis in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling and C-H functionalization reactions to be successful.

One-pot formal dehydrogenative ketone synthesis from aldehydes and non-activated hydrocarbons

Ketones are a fundamental functionality found throughout a range of natural and synthetic compounds, making their synthesis essential throughout the chemical disciplines. Herein, we describe a one-pot synthesis of ketones via decatungstate-mediated formal dehydrogenative coupling between aldehydes and non-activated hydrocarbons. A variety of substituted benzaldehydes and cycloalkanes could be used in the optimized reaction to produce the desired ketones in moderate yields. The decatungstate photocatalyst functions in two reactions in this synthesis, catalyzing both the coupling and oxidation steps of the process. Notably, the reaction displays both high atom economy and sustainability, as it uses light and oxygen as key energy sources.

Cross-Coupling of Secondary Amides with Tertiary Amides: The Use of Tertiary Amides as Surrogates of Alkyl Carbanions for Ketone Synthesis

In recent years, exciting progress has been made in the field of direct transformation of amides, nevertheless, the condensation between two amides remains rare and restricted to homo-coupling reactions. Herein, we report the cross-coupling of secondary amides with tertiary amides, which provides a synthesis of ketones under mild conditions, and features the use of tertiary amides as surrogates of alkyl carbanions. The method relies on the coupling of enamines, generated from tertiary amides by catalytic partial reduction of tertiary amides with Vaska's catalyst, with nitrilium ions, formed in situ from secondary amides via activation with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride, and on the subsequent deformylation.

Palladium and visible-light mediated carbonylative Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of unactivated alkyl halides and aryl boronic acids

Herein, a simple and efficient method for the palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of aryl boronic acids with unactivated alkyl iodides and bromides under visible-light irradiation, ambient temperature and low CO-pressure is presented. Notably, the procedure uses readily available equipment and an inexpensive palladium catalyst to generate the key alkyl radical intermediate. These mild conditions enabled the synthesis of a range of functionalized aryl alkyl ketones including the antipsychotic drug, melperone.

Studies on Organometallic Compounds. III. Reaction of Trimethylstannylazines with Acyl Chlorides. A Novel C-C Bond Formation of Pyridine Nuclei

Introduction of an acyl group at the α-, β-, and γ-positions of pyridine nuclei was accomplished. 2-Trimethylstannyl-pyridine and -quinoline and 1-trimethylstannylisoquinoline directly reacted with various acyl chlorides to give the corresponding 2-pyridyl, 2-quinolyl, and 1-isoquinolyl ketones, respectively.Reaction of 3-trimethylstannylpyridine, -quinoline, and -isoquinoline with acyl chlorides proceeded smoothly under catalysis by PdCl2 or PdCl2(PPh3)2 to afford the corresponding ketones in good yields.Similary, 4-pyridyl, -quinolyl, and -isoquinolyl ketones were prepared from corresponding 4-trimethylstannyl derivatives and acyl chlorides.Keywords--trimethylstannylazine; palladium-catalyzed reaction; acylation; palladium dichloride; dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II)
