C3-Selective alkenylation of N-acylindoles with unactivated internal alkynes by cooperative nickel/aluminium catalysis

Highly regio- and stereoselective alkenylation of N-acylindoles with unactivated internal alkynes has been accomplished by cooperative nickel/aluminium catalysis to afford C3-alkenylated indoles. Coordination of the acyl moiety to a bulky aluminium-based Lewis acid plays a crucial role in the selective functionalization at the C3-position by electron-rich nickel(0) catalysis.

[Pd(IPr*R)(acac)Cl]: Efficient bulky Pd-NHC catalyst for Buchwald-Hartwig C-N cross-coupling reaction

A series of bulky palladium catalysts based on N-heterocyclic carbene, (Pd(NHC)(acac)Cl: NHC = IPr*me = N,N′-bis(2,6-bis(di-p-tolylmethyl)-4-methylphenyl)-imidazol-2 -ylidene, Pd(IPr*me)(acac)Cl; NHC = IPr*ipr = N,N′-bis(2,6-bis(di-4-isopropylphenyl)-4-methylphenyl)-imidazol-2 -ylidene, Pd(IPr*ipr)(acac)Cl; and NHC = IPr*tBu = N,N′-bis(2,6-bis(di-4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)- 4-methylphenyl)- imidazol-2-ylidene, Pd(IPr*tBu)(acac)Cl; acac = acetylacetonate), have been designed and synthesized. These three new catalysts showed much better catalytic activity in the Buchwald?Hartwig arylamination coupling reaction as compare to the earlier congener (IPr*)Pd(acac)Cl (IPr* = N,N′-bis(2,6-diphenylmethyl)-4-methylphenylimidazol-2-ylidene). The highly active PdII precatalyst [Pd(IPr*me)(acac)Cl] has been fully explored by using a wide range of substrates with different electronic and steric demands of coupling partners, for which up to 99% isolated yields were obtained. Remarkably, the moderate isolated yield was obtained for the challenging coupling of the amine bearing very bulky groups.

Extending the utility of [Pd(NHC)(cinnamyl)Cl] precatalysts: Direct arylation of heterocycles

The use of [Pd(NHC)(cinnamyl)Cl] precatalysts in the direct arylation of heterocycles has been investigated. Among four different precatalysts, [Pd(SIPr)(cinnamyl)Cl] proved to be the most efficient promoter of the reaction. The C-H functionalization of sulfuror nitrogen-containing heterocycles has been achieved at low catalyst loadings. These catalyst charges range from 0.1 to 0.01 mol % palladium.
