Continuous-flow nanocatalysis based on metal nanoparticle catalyst-anchored flow reactors has recently provided an excellent platform for effective chemical manufacturing. However, there has been limited progress in porous structure design and recycling systems for metal nanoparticle-anchored flow reactors to create more efficient and sustainable catalytic processes. In this study, traditional paper is used for a highly efficient, recyclable, and even renewable flow reactor by tailoring the ultrastructures of wood pulp. The “paper reactor” offers hierarchically interconnected micro- and nanoscale pores, which can act as convective-flow and rapid-diffusion channels, respectively, for efficient access of reactants to metal nanoparticle catalysts. In continuous-flow, aqueous, room-temperature catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol, a gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-anchored paper reactor with hierarchical micro/nanopores provided higher reaction efficiency than state-of-the-art AuNP-anchored flow reactors. Inspired by traditional paper materials, successful recycling and renewal of AuNP-anchored paper reactors were also demonstrated while high reaction efficiency was maintained.

The catalytic isomerization of C-C double bonds is an indispensable chemical transformation used to deliver higher-value analogues and has important utility in the chemical industry. Notwithstanding the advances reported in this field, there is compelling demand for a general catalytic solution that enables precise control of the C═C bond migration position, in both cyclic and acyclic systems, to furnish disubstituted and trisubstituted alkenes. Here, we show that catalytic amounts of an appropriate earth-abundant iron-based complex, a base and a boryl compound, promote efficient and controllable alkene transposition. Mechanistic investigations reveal that these processes likely involve in situ formation of an iron-hydride species which promotes olefin isomerization through sequential olefin insertion/β-hydride elimination. Through this strategy, regiodivergent access to different products from one substrate can be facilitated, isomeric olefin mixtures commonly found in petroleum-derived feedstock can be transformed to a single alkene product, and unsaturated moieties embedded within linear and heterocyclic biologically active entities can be obtained.

The efficient preparation of nitrile-containing building blocks is of interest due to their utility as synthetic intermediates and their prevalence in pharmaceuticals. As a result, significant efforts have been made to develop methods to access these motifs which rely on safer and non-toxic sources of CN. Herein, we report that 2-methyl-2-phenylpropanenitrile is an efficient, non-toxic, electrophilic CN source for the synthesis of nitrile-bearing quaternary centers by a thermodynamic transnitrilation and anion-relay strategy. This one-pot process leads to nitrile products resulting from the gem-difunctionalization of alkyl lithium reagents.

Direct palladium-catalysed cross-couplings between organolithium reagents and (hetero)aryl halides (Br, Cl) proceed fast, cleanly and selectively at room temperature in air, with water as the only reaction medium and in the presence of NaCl as a cheap additive. Under optimised reaction conditions, a water-accelerated catalysis is responsible for furnishing C(sp3)–C(sp2), C(sp2)–C(sp2), and C(sp)–C(sp2) cross-coupled products, in competition with protonolysis, within a reaction time of 20 s, in yields of up to 99 %, and in the absence of undesired dehalogenated/homocoupling side products even when challenging secondary organolithiums serve as the starting material. It is worth noting that the proposed protocol is scalable and the catalyst and water can easily and successfully be recycled up to 10 times, with an E-factor as low as 7.35.

Diphosphinodithio ligated complexes of nickel(0), nickel(i) and nickel(ii)-alkyl with a reactivity relevant to the C-C bond formation were described. Stoichiometric reactions of the nickel(0) complex, [(P2S2)Ni] ([1]0, P2S2 = (Ph2PC6H4CH2S)2(C2H4)), with alkyl halides (RX) such as C6H5CH2Br, C2H3CH2Br, C2H5I and (CH3)2CHI were investigated, from which the products were found to be highly dependent on the nature of RX used. Oxidative addition of C2H3CH2Br to [1]0 provides the stable Ni(ii)-alkyl complexes [1-allyl]+. The reaction of [1]0 with C6H5CH2Br proceeds through a radical pathway resulting in the formation of the nickel(i) complex [1]+ and an organic homo-coupled product 1,2-diphenylethane. Oxidative addition of C2H5I or (CH3)2CHI to [1]0 can be achieved but it competes with the halogen atom abstraction reaction as found for C6H5CH2Br. [1]0 was shown to be an active catalyst for the coupling reactions of primary halides and alkyl Grignard reagents.
Photoredox-Assisted Reductive Cross-Coupling: Mechanistic Insight into Catalytic Aryl-Alkyl Cross-Couplings

Here, we describe a photoredox-assisted catalytic system for the direct reductive coupling of two carbon electrophiles. Recent advances have shown that nickel catalysts are active toward the coupling of sp3-carbon electrophiles and that well-controlled, light-driven coupling systems are possible. Our system, composed of a nickel catalyst, an iridium photosensitizer, and an amine electron donor, is capable of coupling halocarbons with high yields. Spectroscopic studies support a mechanism where under visible light irradiation the Ir photosensitizer in conjunction with triethanolamine are capable of reducing a nickel catalyst and activating the catalyst toward cross-coupling of carbon electrophiles. The synthetic methodology developed here operates at low 1 mol % catalyst and photosensitizer loadings. The catalytic system also operates without reaction additives such as inorganic salts or bases. A general and effective sp2-sp3 cross-coupling scheme has been achieved that exhibits tolerance to a wide array of functional groups.

One-pot synthesis of 2-aryltetrahydrofurans was achieved by a coupling reaction between arylmagnesium bromides prepared in situ and tetrahydrofuran under mild conditions. The reaction between ArBr and n-BuLi gave unexpected butylbenzene derivatives in mod

Alkylzinc reagents prepared from an alkyllithium and zinc iodide were found to undergo coupling with aryl and alkenyl iodides in the presence of LiI in a mixed solvent consisting of THF and diglyme (1:1). Alkyllithiums, prepared by halogen–lithium exchange between an alkyl iodide and tert-butyllithium, are also converted to alkylarenes through alkylzinc reagents.
Symmetrically and unsymmetrically substituted bis(pyrazole)-palladium(II) and nickel(II) halides as pre-catalysts for ethylene dimerization and Friedel-Crafts alkylation of toluene and benzene

, p. 236 - 243 (2017/02/10)
Bis(pyrazole)-palladium(II) and nickel(II) halide complexes, [(pz)2PdCl2] (1), [(3,5-Me2pz)2PdCl2] (2), [(3,5-tBu2pz)2PdCl2] (3), [(3,5-Ph2pz)2PdCl2] (4), [(3-CF3,5-Phpz)2PdCl2] (5),[(pz)4NiBr2] (6), [(3,5-Me2pz)2NiBr2] (7), [(3,5-tBu2pz)2NiBr2] (8), [(3,5-Ph2pz)2NiBr2] (9) and [(3-CF3,5-Phpz)2NiBr2] (10), were investigated as catalysts for ethylene oligomerization using four alkylaluminium compounds as co-catalysts in toluene, benzene and chlorobenzene. The palladium complexes with ethylaluminium dichloride (EtAlCl2) in toluene selectively produced ethyl- and butyl- toluenes via a Friedel-Crafts alkylation of toluene from the ethylene and butenes formed from the dimerization of ethylene. On the other hand, the nickel complexes produced a mixture of butenes and their Friedel-Crafts toluene alkylation products, but very little ethyltoluene. Changing the solvent to benzene produced similar alkyl-aromatics but in chlorobenzene the reaction produced butenes and a yellow oil, with a molecular weight between 501 to 509 g mol-1; representing C18-C20 carbon-containing compounds. Similarly changing the co-catalyst to methylaluminoxane (MAO), modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO), diethylaluminium chloride (Et2AlCl) and ethylaluminiumsesquichloride (Et3Al2Cl3) also selectively produced butenes and little or no alkylaromatics.
