Herein we report ketones as feedstock materials in radical cross-coupling reactions under Ni/photoredox dual catalysis. In this approach, simple condensation first converts ketones into prearomatic intermediates that then act as activated radical sources for cross-coupling with aryl halides. Our strategy enables the direct benzylation/benzoylation of (hetero)arenes under mild reaction conditions with high functional group tolerance.
Suzuki coupling of aroyl-MIDA boronate esters – A preliminary report on scope and limitations

Recent methodological reports for synthesizing acyl-MIDA boronate esters compel an investigation of their potential use as substrates in a standard Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. Here we report the production of benzophenones by C[sbnd]C cross coupling between a benzoyl-MIDA boronate ester and a multitude of aryl bromide substrates in adequate yields following optimization under ambient conditions outside of a glove box. Under these standard conditions, none of several acyl-MIDA boronate esters (in an alkyl series) serves as a competent coupling partner. The substrate scope is also limited by the finding that the corresponding trifluoroborates of both acyl- and aroyltrifluroborates are not suitable substrates. For reasons of availability and synthetic difficulty in procuring other aroyl-MIDA boronates, this preliminary study examines the reactivity of benzoyl-MIDA boronate with several aryl bromide substrates.
Pd(II)-Catalyzed Denitrogenative and Desulfinative Addition of Arylsulfonyl Hydrazides with Nitriles

A Pd(II)-catalyzed denitrogenative and desulfinative addition of arylsulfonyl hydrazides with nitriles has been successfully achieved under mild conditions. This transformation is a new method for the addition reaction to nitriles with arylsulfonyl hydrazides as arylating agent, thus providing an alternative synthesis of aryl ketones. The reported addition reaction is tolerant to many common functional groups, and works well in the presence of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents. Notably, the reported denitrogenative and desulfinative addition was also appropriate for alkyl nitriles, making this newly developed transformation attractive.
