Nickel-Catalyzed Reductive Cross-Coupling of Benzylic Sulfonium Salts with Aryl Iodides

A nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of benzylic sulfonium salts with aryl iodides has been developed, providing direct access to diarylalkanes from readily available and stable coupling partners. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the C-S bond cleavage proceeds through a single-electron transfer process to generate a benzylic radical.

Nickel-Catalyzed Electrochemical C(sp3)?C(sp2) Cross-Coupling Reactions of Benzyl Trifluoroborate and Organic Halides**

Reported here is the redox neutral electrochemical C(sp2)?C(sp3) cross-coupling reaction of bench-stable aryl halides or β-bromostyrene (electrophiles) and benzylic trifluoroborates (nucleophiles) using nonprecious, bench-stable NiCl2?glyme/polypyridine catalysts in an undivided cell configuration under ambient conditions. The broad reaction scope and good yields of the Ni-catalyzed electrochemical coupling reactions were confirmed by 50 examples of aryl/β-styrenyl chloride/bromide and benzylic trifluoroborates. Potential applications were demonstrated by electrosynthesis and late-stage functionalization of pharmaceuticals and natural amino acid modification, and three reactions were run on gram-scale in a flow-cell electrolyzer. The electrochemical C?C cross-coupling reactions proceed through an unconventional radical transmetalation mechanism. This method is highly productive and expected to find wide-spread applications in organic synthesis.

Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Electrophile Coupling between Benzyl Alcohols and Aryl Halides Assisted by Titanium Co-reductant

A nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling reaction between benzyl alcohols and aryl halides has been developed using a homolytic C-O bond cleavage protocol that has recently been established. The treatment of a benzyl alcohol and aryl halide with a nickel catalyst and low-valent titanium reagent generated from TiCl4(lutidine) (lutidine = 2,6-lutidine) and manganese powder afforded the cross-coupled product in high yield. A mechanistic study indicated the intermediacy of the benzyl radicals that originate from the benzyl alcohols.
