Halogen-Bridged Methylnaphthyl Palladium Dimers as Versatile Catalyst Precursors in Coupling Reactions

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.

Iron-Catalyzed Isopropylation of Electron-Deficient Aryl and Heteroaryl Chlorides

Traditional methods for the preparation of secondary alkyl-substituted aryl and heteroaryl chlorides challenge both selectivity and functional group tolerance. This contribution describes the use of statistical design of experiments to develop an effective procedure for the preparation of isopropyl-substituted (hetero)arenes with minimal isopropyl to n-propyl isomerization. The reaction tolerates electronically diverse aryl chloride coupling partners, with excellent conversion observed for strongly electron-deficient aromatic rings, such as esters and amides. Electron-rich systems, including methyl- and methoxy-substituted aryl chlorides, were found to be less reactive. Furthermore, the reaction was found to be most successful when heteroaryl chlorides were submitted to the cross-coupling protocol. By mapping substituent effects on reaction selectivity, we were able to show that electron-deficient aryl chlorides are essential for efficient coupling, and use electronic structure calculations to predict the likelihood of successful coupling through the estimation of the electron affinity of each aryl chloride. Moderate isolated yields were achieved with selected aryl chlorides, and moderate to good isolated yields were obtained for all the heteroaryl chlorides coupled. Excellent selectivity was observed when a 2,6-dichloroquinoline was used, allowing mono-substitution on a challenging substrate. (Figure presented.).

Silver-mediated fluorination of potassium aryltrifluoroborates with Selectfluor Dedicated to Professor Andrea Vasella on the occasion of his 71st birthday

A simple and practical procedure for the silver-mediated fluorination of aryl- and heteroaryltrifluoroborates with electrophilic fluorine from Selectfluor and LiOH·H2O is presented. The reaction procedure is simple and easy to set up, the process produces fluorinated arenes and heteroarenes in good to excellent yields and a wide range of electronically and structurally diverse substrates are tolerated.

Regioselective arene functionalization: Simple substitution of carboxylate by alkyl groups

Arenes with various alkyl side-chains were synthesized in high yields and excellent regioselectivities. Starting from toluic and naphthoic acids, the carboxylate group was conveniently substituted by alkyl halides by Birch reduction and subsequent decarbonylation. The method is characterized by inexpensive starting materials and reagents, and methylation of arenes was realized. Besides simple alkyl substituents, the scope of arene functionalization was extended by benzyl, fluoro, amino, and ester groups. We were able to control the alkylation of 1-naphthoic acid during Birch reduction by the addition of tert-butanol. This allowed the regioselective synthesis of mono and bis-substituted naphthalenes from the same starting material.

Aryl fluoride syntheses involving reactions of aryllead triacetates with boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex

Aryllead(IV) triacetates react at room temperature with BF3.Et2O to give the corresponding aryl fluoride in moderate to good yields; triarylboroxines, electron rich aryltrimethylsilanes and some arenes, which yield aryllead triacetates in acid catalysed reactions with lead tetraacetate, are converted directly into aryl fluorides when stirred with lead tetraacetate in BF3.Et2O. An investigation of the mechanism of the fluoro-deplumbation reaction indicates that it probably proceeds by acid catalysed heterolytic cleavage of the C-Pb bond to produce an aryl cation.

GAS PHASE ISOPROPYLATION OF AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS. FLUORINE AND METHYL SUBSTITUENT EFFECTS ON REACTIVITY AND ORIENTATION.

The isopropylation of substituted benzenes by s-C3H7+ cations is studied to evaluate the directive effects of fluorine, methyl group and their combinations as ring substituents in the gas-phase aromatic substitution.
