A readily available stereodynamic and the electronic circular dichroism (ECD)-silent 2,5-di(1-naphthyl)-terephthalaldehyde-based probe has been applied for chirality sensing of primary amines. The chiral amine (the inductor) forces a change in the structure of the chromophore system through the point-to-axial chirality transmission mechanism. As a result, efficient induction of optical activity in the chromophoric system is observed. The butterflylike structure of the probe, with the terminal aryl groups acting as changeable wings , allowed for the generation of exciton Cotton effects in the region of 1Bb electronic transition in the naphthalene chromophores. The sign of the exciton couplets observed for inductor-reporter systems might be correlated with an absolute configuration of the inductor, whereas the linear relationship between amplitudes of the specific Cotton effect and enantiomeric excess of the parent amine gives potentiality for quantitative chirality sensing. Despite the structural simplicity, the probe turned out to be unprecedentedly highly sensitive to even subtle differences in the inductor structure (i.e., O vs CH2).

Chemically inert C(aryl)-F bonds have rarely been used to couple with other unactivated bonds, and this remains a challenge because of the difficulty of the successive cleavage of two unactivated bonds by metal catalysis. We report here the chromium-catalyzed cleavage of chemically inert C(aryl)-F bonds for coupling with unactivated C(aryl)-O bonds, allowing cross-electrophile coupling between unreactive aryl fluorides and aryl esters to be achieved in high regio- and chemoselectivity. The reactive Cr, which was formed in situ by reducing CrCl2, enables cleavage of the o-C(aryl)-F bonds to afford monovalent and quartet cyclochromate; subsequent bipyridyl-enabled insertion into the ester C(aryl)-O bond followed by reductive elimination allowed the orthogonal coupling of these two different and unactivated bonds. Mechanistic studies indicate that the bipyridyl ligand greatly enhances the reactivity of Cr in the cleavage of C(aryl)-O bonds, and the second oxidative addition may occur sluggishly compared with the reductive elimination in the catalytic cycle.

A novel non-C2-symmetric bis-benzimidazolium salt derived from (±)-valinol has been prepared by a simple and straightforward process in good yield. The structure of bis-benzimidazolium salt provided a bulky steric group on the ethylene bridge; which facilitates the catalytic efficacy in the C(sp2 )–C(sp2 ) formation. Its catalytic activity in Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of unactivated aryl chlorides has been found to have high efficacy in 1 mol% Pd loading. This protocol demonstrated the potential on the synthesis of sterically hindered biaryls.
Chemoselective Cross-Coupling between Two Different and Unactivated C(aryl)-O Bonds Enabled by Chromium Catalysis

We report here the first example of cross-coupling between two different and unactivated C(aryl)-O bonds with chromium catalysis. The combination of a low-cost Cr(II) salt, 4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-dipyridyl (dtbpy) as the ligand, and magnesium as the reductant shows high reactivity in promoting the reductive cross-coupling of aryl methyl ether derivatives with aryl esters by cleavage and coupling of two different C(aryl)-O bonds under mild conditions. The formation of active low-valent Cr species by reduction of CrCl2 with Mg can be considered, which prefers to initially activate the C(aryl)-O bond of phenyl methyl ether with the chelation help of dtbpy and an o-imine auxiliary. The subsequent consecutive reduction, second C(aryl)-O activation, and reductive elimination allow for the achievement of selective cross-coupling of C(aryl)-O/C(aryl)-O bonds.
