Cu/Mn bimetallic catalysis enables carbonylative Suzuki-Miyaura coupling with unactivated alkyl electrophiles

A bimetallic system consisting of Cu-carbene and Mn-carbonyl co-catalysts was employed for carbonylative C-C coupling of arylboronic esters with alkyl halides, allowing for the convergent synthesis of ketones. The system operates under mild conditions and exhibits complementary reactivity to Pd catalysis. The method is compatible with a wide range of arylboronic ester nucleophiles and proceeds smoothly for both primary and secondary alkyl iodide electrophiles. Preliminary mechanistic experiments corroborate a hypothetical catalytic mechanism consisting of co-dependent cycles wherein the Cu-carbene co-catalyst engages in transmetallation to generate an organocopper nucleophile, while the Mn-carbonyl co-catalyst activates the alkyl halide electrophile by single-electron transfer and then undergoes reversible carbonylation to generate an acylmanganese electrophile. The two cycles then intersect with a heterobimetallic, product-releasing C-C coupling step.

The reduction of the carbonyl group in acylated trifluoroethyl alkanesulfonates follows the Felkin-Ahn selectivity, and the so-formed diastereomeric β-hydroxysulfonyl intermediates undergo syn- and anti-fragmentation, depending on the reaction conditions. In effect, isomeric E- and Z-alkenes are formed in a stereodivergent manner, which mimics the mechanistic manifold of the Peterson olefination.

A new transition metal-free oxidative coupling of unactivated terminal alkenes with aldehydes and hydroperoxides in the presence of 10 mol% potassium tert-butanolate (t-BuOK) is described thereby realizing trifunctionalization of alkenes toward 2,3-epoxy ketones. This method is applicable to a wide range of aldehydes, including aryl and alkyl aldehydes, with excellent functional group tolerance, and provides for the one-step assembly of 2,3-epoxy ketones.

Acylnickel(II) complexes feature prominently in cross-electrophile coupling (XEC) reactions that form ketones, yet their reactivity has not been systematically investigated. We present here our studies on the reactivity of acylnickel(II) complexes with a series of carbon electrophiles. Bromobenzene, α-chloroethylbenzene, bromooctane, and iodooctane were reacted with (dtbbpy)NiII(C(O)C5H11)(Br) (1b) and (dtbbpy)NiII(C(O)tolyl)(Br) (1c) to form a variety of organic products. While reactions with bromobenzene formed complex mixtures of ketones, reactions with α-chloroethylbenzene were highly selective for the cross-ketone product. Reactions with iodooctane and bromooctane also produced the cross-ketone product, but in intermediate yield and selectivity. In most cases the presence or absence of a chemical reductant (zinc) had only a small effect on the selectivity of the reaction. The coupling of 1c with iodooctane (60% yield) was translated into a catalytic reaction, the carbonylative coupling of bromoarenes with primary bromoalkanes (six examples, 60% average yield).
Practical one-pot preparation of ketones from aryl and alkyl bromides with aldehydes and DIH via Grignard reagents

Various diaryl ketones, alkyl aryl ketones, and dialkyl ketones were efficiently prepared in good yields by the reactions of the Grignard reagents derived from aryl or alkyl bromides, followed by the reactions with aromatic or aliphatic aldehydes and the subsequent treatment with 1,3-diiodo-5,5- dimethylhydantoin and K2CO3, in a one-pot method. The same treatment of aromatic bromides bearing electron-withdrawing groups, such as ester, nitrile, ketone, and nitro groups with i-PrMgCl·LiCl or PhMgCl instead of Mg, also provided the corresponding diaryl and alkyl aryl ketones in good yields. The above methods are simple and practical transition-metal-free methods for the preparation of various diaryl ketones and alkyl aryl ketones bearing electron-rich aromatic groups and electron-deficient aromatic groups, as well as dialkyl ketones.
