Abstract: A heterogeneous metal-loaded titanium oxide photocatalyst provided an efficient route to bring out direct dehydrogenative cross-coupling between toluene and acetone without consuming any additional oxidizing agent. The nature of the metal nanoparticle cocatalyst deposited on TiO2 photocatalyst dictated the product selectivity for the cross-coupling. Pd nanoparticles on TiO2 photocatalyst allowed a C–C bond formation between the aromatic ring of toluene and acetone to give 1-(o-tolyl)propan-2-one (1a1) with high regioselectivity, while Pt nanoparticles on TiO2 photocatalyst promoted the cross-coupling between the methyl group of toluene and acetone to give 4-phenylbutan-2-one (1b) as the acetonylated product. These results demonstrated that the selection of the metal cocatalyst on TiO2 photocatalyst could determine which C–H bonds in toluene, aromatic or aliphatic, can react with acetone. Two kinds of reaction mechanisms were proposed for the photocatalytic dehydrogenative cross-coupling reaction, depending on the property of the metal nanoparticles, i.e., only Pd nanoparticles can catalyze the reaction between aromatic ring and the acetonyl radical species.

The activity and reusability of Cu-MOF-74 as heterogeneous catalyst were studied in the Cu-catalyzed C[sbnd]C cross-coupling reaction of 4-iodotoluene (4-IT) with acetylacetone (AcAc) to direct synthesis of α-aryl-ketones. Cu-MOF-74 is characterized by having unsaturated copper sites into its highly porous metal-organic framework that can play a crucial role in catalytic applications. The influence of critical reaction variables such as solvent, reaction temperature, AcAc/4-IT ratio, catalyst concentration and basic agent (type and concentration) were evaluated. High conversions were achieved at 140 °C, 5 mol % of catalyst, AcAc/4-IT ratio of 2:1, DMF as solvent and 1.5 equivalent of Cs2CO3 base. The C-arylation between 4-IT and AcAc proceeded only in the presence of Cu-MOF-74 material, being very low the transformation in absence of the solid catalyst. Cu-MOF-74 material displayed a remarkable structural stability, regarding its XRD patterns and solid recovery degree after several reaction cycles, which was also complemented by the negligible amount of copper leached in the reaction media. This catalyst showed promising results in comparison to other homogeneous and heterogeneous Cu-based catalysts. This work evidences the great potential of MOF materials as heterogeneous catalysts in fine chemistry applications.

This work reports gold-catalyzed [3+2]-annulations of α-diazo ketones with highly substituted cyclopentadienes, affording bicyclic 2,3-dihydrofurans with high regio- and stereoselectivity. The reactions highlights the first success of tetrasubstituted alkenes to undergo [3+2]-annulations with α-diazo carbonyls. The enantioselective annulations are also achieved with high enantioselectivity using chiral forms of gold and phosphoric acid. Our mechanistic analysis supports that cyclopentadienes serve as nucleophiles to attack gold carbenes at the more substituted alkenes, yielding gold enolates that complex with chiral phosphoric acid to enhance the enantioselectivity.

The invention relates to the technical field of organic compound synthesis, in particular to an aryl C-F bond functionalization preparation method. A fluorobenzene compound and a nucleophilic reagent react under the action of a composite catalyst, wherein the composite catalyst is formed by mixing a visible light catalyst and a metal catalyst.

Markovnikov Wacker-Tsuji Oxidation of Allyl(hetero)arenes and Application in a One-Pot Photo-Metal-Biocatalytic Approach to Enantioenriched Amines and Alcohols

The Wacker-Tsuji aerobic oxidation of various allyl(hetero)arenes under photocatalytic conditions to form the corresponding methyl ketones is presented. By using a palladium complex [PdCl2(MeCN)2] and the photosensitizer [Acr-Mes]ClO4 in aqueous medium and at room temperature, and by simple irradiation with blue led light, the desired carbonyl compounds were synthesized with high conversions (>80%) and excellent selectivities (>90%). The key process was the transient formation of Pd nanoparticles that can activate oxygen, thus recycling the Pd(II) species necessary in the Wacker oxidative reaction. While light irradiation was strictly mandatory, the addition of the photocatalyst improved the reaction selectivity, due to the formation of the starting allyl(hetero)arene from some of the obtained by-products, thus entering back in the Wacker-Tsuji catalytic cycle. Once optimized, the oxidation reaction was combined in a one-pot two-step sequential protocol with an enzymatic transformation. Depending on the biocatalyst employed, i. e. an amine transaminase or an alcohol dehydrogenase, the corresponding (R)- and (S)-1-arylpropan-2-amines or 1-arylpropan-2-ols, respectively, could be synthesized in most cases with high yields (>70%) and in enantiopure form. Finally, an application of this photo-metal-biocatalytic strategy has been demonstrated in order to get access in a straightforward manner to selegiline, an anti-Parkinson drug. (Figure presented.).

Halogen-bridged methylnaphthyl (MeNAP) palladium dimers are presented as multipurpose Pd-precursors, ideally suited for catalytic method development and preparative organic synthesis. By simply mixing with phosphine or carbene ligands, they are in situ converted into well-defined monoligated complexes. Their catalytic performance was benchmarked against state-of-the-art systems in challenging Buchwald–Hartwig, Heck, Suzuki and Negishi couplings, and ketone arylations. Their use enabled record-setting activities, beyond those achievable by optimization of the ligand alone. The MeNAP catalysts permit syntheses of tetra-ortho-substituted arenes and bulky anilines in near-quantitative yields at room temperature, allow mono-arylations of small ketones, and enable so far elusive cross-couplings of secondary alkyl boronic acids with aryl chlorides.

The Pd-catalyzed α-arylation of carbonyl compounds with simple arenes enabled by site-selective thianthrenation has been demonstrated. This onepot process using thianthrenium salts as the traceless arylating reagents features mild conditions and a broad substrate scope. In addition, this protocol could also tolerate the heterocyclic carbonyl compounds and complex bioactive molecules, which is appealing for medicinal chemistry.

Activation of aliphatic C(sp3)-H bonds in the presence of more activated benzylic C(sp3)-H bonds is often a nontrivial, if not impossible task. Herein we show that leveraging the reactivity of benzylic C(sp3)-H bonds to achieve reactivity at the homobenzylic position can be accomplished using dual organic photoredox/cobalt catalysis. Through a two-part catalytic system, alkyl arenes undergo dehydrogenation followed by an anti-Markovnikov Wacker-type oxidation to grant benzyl ketone products. This formal homobenzylic oxidation is accomplished with high atom economy without the use of directing groups, achieving valuable reactivity that traditionally would require multiple chemical transformations.
An Efficient Palladium-Catalyzed α-Arylation of Acetone below its Boiling Point

The monoarylation of acetone is a powerful transformation, but is typically performed at temperatures significantly in excess of its boiling point. Conditions described for performing the reaction at ambient temperatures led to significant dehalogenation when applied to a complex aryl halide. We describe our attempts to overcome both issues in the context of our drug-discovery program.

Simple and rapid route for Meerwein arylation reaction using iron powder or a mixture of tin/tin chloride has been developed. In the presence of iron powder, different aryl diazonium salts reacted with methyl vinyl ketone, acrylates, and isopropenyl acetate. Production of oximes was detected as the main product with acrylates or in a mixture with β-aryl methyl ketones in the case of methyl vinyl ketone. The in situ produced HNO2 from an excess of NaNO2/HCl was trapped by alkyl aryl radical to form oximes in the E configuration form. The presence of tin/tin chloride mixture in the reaction of the aryl diazonium salts with methyl vinyl ketone produced Michael products along with β-aryl methyl ketones. The predicted α-aryl methyl ketones from the reaction of isopropenyl acetate with the diazotized anilines were obtained using iron or tin/tin chloride mixture.
