The advent of transition-metal catalysed strategies for forming new carbon-carbon bonds has revolutionized the field of organic chemistry, enabling the efficient synthesis of ligands, materials, and biologically active molecules. In cases where a single metal fails to promote a selective or efficient transformation, the synergistic cooperation of two distinct catalysts - multimetallic catalysis - can be used instead. Many important reactions rely on multimetallic catalysis, such as the Wacker oxidation of olefins and the Sonogashira coupling of alkynes with aryl halides, but this approach has largely been limited to the use of metals with distinct reactivities, with only one metal catalyst undergoing oxidative addition. Here, we demonstrate that cooperativity between two group 10 metal catalysts - (bipyridine)nickel and (1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane)palladium - enables a general cross-Ullmann reaction (the cross-coupling of two different aryl electrophiles). Our method couples aryl bromides with aryl triflates directly, eliminating the use of arylmetal reagents and avoiding the challenge of differentiating between multiple carbon-hydrogen bonds that is required for direct arylation methods. Selectivity can be achieved without an excess of either substrate and originates from the orthogonal reactivity of the two catalysts and the relative stability of the two arylmetal intermediates. While (1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane)palladium reacts preferentially with aryl triflates to afford a persistent intermediate, (bipyridine)nickel reacts preferentially with aryl bromides to form a transient, reactive intermediate. Although each catalyst forms less than 5 per cent cross-coupled product in isolation, together they are able to achieve a yield of up to 94 per cent. Our results reveal a new method for the synthesis of biaryls, heteroaryls, and dienes, as well as a general mechanism for the selective transfer of ligands between two metal catalysts. We anticipate that this reaction will simplify the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, many of which are currently made with pre-formed organometallic reagents, and lead to the discovery of new multimetallic reactions.
Phosphine and palladium-free synthesis of aryl and alkenyl boronates: A nano-catalytic approach
Mohan, Balaji,Kang, Hyuntae,Park, Kang Hyun
, p. 61 - 65 (2016)
Superparamagnetic copperferrite nanoparticle is employed as an environmentally benign and efficient catalyst to affect the borylation of aryliodides yielding the corresponding arylboronates at low catalyst loading under mild reaction conditions. This protocol tolerates various substituents present in aryl iodides and also could be extended to beta bromostyrenes in the absence of phosphine and palladium.

Palladium nanoparticles have been prepared using different techniques, CO2-assisted microfluidics coflow or thermolysis using ionic liquids. Both techniques displayed interesting activities in dehydrogenation of diisopropylamine-borane complex, and allowed performing a dehydrogenation-arylation sequence with the creation of a carbon-boron bond.

A versatile and efficient method to prepare borylated arenes furnished with alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, and heteroaryl functional groups is developed by merging Ir-catalyzed C-H borylations (CHB) with a chemoselective palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of triorganoindium reagents (Sarandeses-Sestelo coupling) with aryl halides bearing a boronic ester substituent. Using triorganoindium cross-coupling reactions to introduce unsaturated moieties enables the synthesis of borylated arenes that would be difficult to access through the direct application of the CHB methodology. The sequential double catalyzed procedure can be also performed in one vessel.

Unreactive C-N bond activation of anilines was achieved by photoinduced aerobic borylation. A diverse range of tertiary and secondary anilines were converted to aryl boronate esters in moderate to good yields with wide functional group tolerance under simple and ambient photochemical conditions. This transformation achieved the direct and facile C-N bond activation of unreactive anilines, providing a convenient and practical route transforming widely available anilines into useful aryl boronate esters.

The Ni-catalyzed decarbonylative borylation of (hetero)aryl carboxylic acids with B2cat2 has been achieved without recourse to any additives. This Ni-catalyzed method exhibits a broad substrate scope covering poorly reactive non-ortho-substituted (hetero)aryl carboxylic acids, and tolerates diverse functional groups including some of the groups active to Ni0 catalysts. The key to achieve this decarbonylative borylation reaction is the choice of B2cat2 as a coupling partner that not only acts as a borylating reagent, but also chemoselectively activates aryl carboxylic acids towards oxidative addition of their C(acyl)?O bond to Ni0 catalyst via the formation of acyloxyboron compounds. A combination of experimental and computational studies reveals a detailed plausible mechanism for this reaction system, which involves a hitherto unknown concerted decarbonylation and reductive elimination step that generates the aryl boronic ester product. This mode of boron-promoted carboxylic acid activation is also applicable to other types of reactions.

A dinucleating bis(β-diketiminate) ligand with a flexible bridge has been employed to synthesize zinc complexes. The ligand, abbreviated H2L (H2L = N-(4-((2-((4-((2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino)pent-2-en-2-yl)amino)ethyl)imino)pent-2-en-2-yl)-2,6-diisopropylaniline), was deprotonated with ZnEt2 to afford [LZn2Et2] (1). Reactions of 1 with 2 equiv of BnOH and nBuOH, respectively, gave access to [LZn2(OBn)2]·C6H14 (2·C6H14) and [LZn2(OnBu)2] (3). Treatment of 1 with 2 equiv of I2 in THF produced [LZn2I2(THF)2]·2THF (4·2THF). X-ray single-crystal diffraction analyses revealed that they are all heteroleptic bimetallic compounds with two metal centers being chelated by one ligand set. The structurally similar compounds 1 and 4·2THF possess approximate C2 symmetry, with two β-diketiminate units being arrayed in head-to-tail antiparallel mode. Thus, the molecular structures of 1 and 4·2THF exhibit a seesaw-like topology. The structures of 2·C6H14 and 3 are almost identical, in which two zinc atoms are shared by two ZnN2C3 six-membered rings, two Zn2ON2C2 seven-membered rings, and one Zn2O2 four-membered ring. Therefore, the metal cores of 2·C6H14 and 3 display a crownlike topology. All complexes are catalytically active for the borylation of aryl iodides with B2Pin2 (B2Pin2 = 4,4,4′,4′,5,5,5′,5′-octamethyl-2,2′-bis(1,3,2-dioxaborolane). Complex 1 shows higher activity in comparison to 2, 3, and 4·2THF. The borylation reactions catalyzed by 1 could proceed under mild conditions and can be applied to a series of substrates with high functional group generality. This methodology thus represents a novel use of β-diketiminate zinc complexes for C-I borylation.

Silver(I) salts were found active in the borylation and sulfenylation of aryl iodides under visible light irradiation. The optimized borylation protocol using AgF did not need any additive, operated under very mild conditions, and well tolerated a broad scope of substrates and boron sources. Formation of Ag(0) single atoms (AgSAs) during the borylation reactions was examined using high-angle annular dark field aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope (HAADF AC-STEM) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). The activities of the silver(I) salts were affected by the anions and could be associated with their abilities in formation of AgSAs during the reactions. Kinetic studies showed that the deiodination rate was linearly correlated with the loading of AgSAs, and hence AgSAs were the true catalytic centers for the 1e?-reduction of the C-I moieties. The oxidation state of AgSAs kept 0 in both the resting and the working states. A “work-in-tandem” mechanism involving AgSAs as the catalytic centers and AgNPs as the light absorber to achieve the borylation of aryl iodides under visible light irradiation is proposed. The current approach not only provides an alternative system for borylation and sulfenylation of aryl iodides, but also reveals a new activity of silver(I) salts involving AgSAs under visible light irradiation.
Photoinduced Deaminative Borylation of Unreactive Aromatic Amines Enhanced by CO2

, p. 4774 - 4778 (2021/06/28)
Herein, direct unreactive C-N borylation of aromatic amines by a photocatalyst was achieved. The C-N borylation of aromatic amines with bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2) proceeded using a pyrene catalyst under light irradiation to afford desired borylated products and aminoborane as a byproduct. The yield of the borylated product improved under a CO2 atmosphere which probably reduced the inhibitory effect of aminoborane. Mechanistic studies suggested that the C-N bond cleavage and C-B bond formation proceeded via a concerted pathway.

In ample variety of transformations, the presence of silver as an additive or co-catalyst is believed to be innocuous for the efficiency of the operating metal catalyst. Even though Ag additives are required often as coupling partners, oxidants or halide scavengers, its role as a catalytically competent species is widely neglected in cross-coupling reactions. Most likely, this is due to the erroneously assumed incapacity of Ag to undergo 2e? redox steps. Definite proof is herein provided for the required elementary steps to accomplish the oxidative trifluoromethylation of arenes through AgI/AgIII redox catalysis (i. e. CEL coupling), namely: i) easy AgI/AgIII 2e? oxidation mediated by air; ii) bpy/phen ligation to AgIII; iii) boron-to-AgIII aryl transfer; and iv) ulterior reductive elimination of benzotrifluorides from an [aryl-AgIII-CF3] fragment. More precisely, an ultimate entry and full characterization of organosilver(III) compounds [K]+[AgIII(CF3)4]? (K-1), [(bpy)AgIII(CF3)3] (2) and [(phen)AgIII(CF3)3] (3), is described. The utility of 3 in cross-coupling has been showcased unambiguously, and a large variety of arylboron compounds was trifluoromethylated via [AgIII(aryl)(CF3)3]? intermediates. This work breaks with old stereotypes and misconceptions regarding the inability of Ag to undergo cross-coupling by itself.
