A nickel/zinc-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of alkyl electrophiles activated by an α-cyano group and chlorosilanes is reported. Elemental zinc is the stoichiometric reductant in this reductive coupling process. By this, a C(sp3)?Si bond can be formed starting from two electrophilic reactants whereas previous methods rely on the combination of carbon nucleophiles and silicon electrophiles or vice versa.

Diverse alkenylboronic acids react smoothly with various sp3-carbon electrophiles such as unactivated alkyl triflates in the presence of mild bases such as K3PO4. The reaction protocol is very mild and thereby enables high functional group tolerance. This transition metal-free condition is orthogonal towards the classic transition metal catalyzed Suzuki coupling. (Figure presented.).
Copper-Catalyzed Substitution of α-Triflyloxy Nitriles and Esters with Silicon Nucleophiles under Inversion of the Configuration

A copper-catalyzed nucleophilic displacement of α-triflyloxy nitriles and esters with silicon nucleophiles allows for the stereospecific generation of highly enantioenriched α-silylated carboxyl compounds. The enantioselective synthesis of α-silylated nitriles is unprecedented. The catalytic system exhibits good functional group tolerance. The stereochemical course of the substitution is shown to proceed with inversion of the configuration. The new reaction is an addition to the still limited number of methods for catalytic C(sp3)-Si cross-coupling.

A chemoselective catalytic fluorination of alkyl triflates is described using potassium fluoride as a fluoride source. Excellent yields of the desired alkyl fluorides are obtained after one hour at 45°C using 2 mol% of the copper catalyst. With 10 mol% of the catalyst, full conversion can be achieved in less than 10 minutes at 45°C, and thus makes this procedure potentially suited for the preparation of 18F-labeled PET probes. As a result of the mild reaction conditions, only the substitution products are observed with no evidence of common side reactions, such as elimination. Reported is a preliminary study of the reaction scope, which demonstrates that the fluorination can be performed in the presence of a wide range of functional groups. Evidence suggests an unusual role of the [IPrCuOTf] catalyst as a phase-transfer catalyst and points to [IPrCuF] as the active fluorinating reagent (IPr=1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene).
