Pd-Catalyzed Synthesis of Vinyl Arenes from Aryl Halides and Acrylic Acid

Acrylic acid is presented as an inexpensive, non-volatile vinylating agent in a palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative vinylation of aryl halides. The reaction proceeds through a Heck reaction of acrylic acid, immediately followed by protodecarboxylation of the cinnamic acid intermediate. The use of the carboxylate group as a deciduous directing group ensures high selectivity for monoarylated products. The vinylation process is generally applicable to diversely substituted substrates. Its utility is shown by the synthesis of drug-like molecules and the gram-scale preparation of key intermediates in drug synthesis.

Synthesis of α-aryl esters and nitriles: Deaminative coupling of α-aminoesters and α-aminoacetonitriles with arylboronic acids

Transition-metal-free synthesis of α-aryl esters and nitriles using arylboronic acids with α-aminoesters and α-aminoacetonitriles, respectively, as the starting materials has been developed. The reaction represents a rare case of converting C(sp3)-N bonds into C(sp3)-C(sp2) bonds. The reaction conditions are mild, demonstrate good functional-group tolerance, and can be scaled up. Touch base: A transition-metal-free protocol for the synthesis of α-aryl esters and nitriles by deaminative coupling is presented. Strong bases and transition-metal catalysts are not needed. The new synthetic method uses readily available starting materials and demonstrates wide substrate scope.
