The triple-bond metathesis of aryldiazonium salts: A prospect for dinitrogen cleavage
Lackner, Aaron D.,Fürstner, Alois
, p. 12814 - 12818 (2015)
The {N2} unit of aryldiazonium salts undergoes unusually facile triple-bond metathesis on treatment with molybdenum or tungsten alkylidyne ate complexes endowed with triphenylsilanolate ligands. The reaction transforms the alkylidyne unit into a nitrile and the aryldiazonium entity into an imido ligand on the metal center, as unambiguously confirmed by X-ray structure analysis of two representative examples. A tungsten nitride ate complex is shown to react analogously. Since the bonding situation of an aryldiazonium salt is similar to that of metal complexes with end-on-bound dinitrogen, in which {N2}→M σ donation is dominant and electron back donation minimal, the metathesis described herein is thought to be a conceptually novel strategy toward dinitrogen cleavage devoid of any redox steps and, therefore, orthogonal to the established methods. Who knows? Although the extrusion of molecular nitrogen from aryldiazonium salts is extremely facile, the metathetic cleavage of the N-N triple bond on treatment with alkylidyne ate complexes of molybdenum or tungsten is shown to be even faster. The analogy between [Ar-N2]+ and known [M-N2] complexes makes this process a potential model for dinitrogen cleavage devoid of any redox steps.

A photoinduced arylation of N-substituted acridinium salts has been developed and has exhibited a high functional group tolerance (e.g., halogen, nitrile, ketone, ester, and nitro). A broad range of well-decorated C9-arylated acridinium-based catalysts with fine-tuned photophysical and photochemical properties, namely, excited-state lifetimes and redox potentials have been synthetized in a one-step procedure. These functionalized acridinium salts were later evaluated in the photoredox-catalyzed fragmentation of 1,2-diol derivatives (lignin models). Among them, 2-bromophenyl substituted N-methyl acridinium has outperformed all photoredox catalysts, including commercial Fukuzumi's catalyst, for the selective CβO-Ar bond cleavage of diol monoarylethers to afford 1,2-diols in good yields.

A general method for the synthesis of structurally diverse N-arylpyrazoles from readily available cyclopropanols and aryldiazonium salts is disclosed. The reaction was conducted at room temperature within minutes with a broad substrate scope and excellent regioselectivity.
Visible-Light-Mediated Ru-Catalyzed Synthesis of 3-(Arylsulfonyl)but-3-enals via Coupling of α-Allenols with Diazonium Salts and Sulfur Dioxide

The first coupling of α-allenols, sulfur dioxide, and arenediazonium salts is presented. The three-component reaction which is promoted by visible light can be easily accomplished using DABSO as a sulfur dioxide surrogate in the presence of a photoredox catalyst. In this manner, a broad range of electron-rich and electron-deficient aryl substituents are well accommodated in the sulfonylation-rearrangement cascade to afford the 2,2-disubstituted 3-(arylsulfonyl)but-3-enals in reasonable yields. Based on control experiments, a radical mechanism which does imply 1,2-aryl migration has been proposed.
