A series of designed palladium biscarbene complexes including saturated and unsaturated N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) moieties have been prepared by the carbene transfer methods. All of these complexes have been characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy as well as X-ray diffraction analysis. The reactivity of Pd-C(saturated NHC) is distinct from that of Pd-C(unsaturated NHC). The Pd-C(saturated NHC) bonds are fairly stable toward reagents such as CF3COOH, AgBF4 and I2, whereas Pd-C(unsaturated NHC) bonds are readily cleaved under the similar conditions. Notably, the catalytically activity of these palladium complexes on Suzuki-Miyaura coupling follows the order: (sat-NHC)2PdCl2 > (sat-NHC)(unsat-NHC)PdCl2 > (unsat-NHC)2PdCl2.

Treatment of N-heterocyclic carbene (1,3-Bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ylidene; (LDipp)) with different sources of hydrofluoric acid (Et3N?3HF, anhydrous hydrofluoric acid and KHF2) in 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 ratios affords [(LDipp)H]+[F]?(1), [(LDipp)H]+[(HF)F]?(2) and [(LDipp)H]+[(HF)2F]?(3) salts respectively. Different fluoride sources all yield the same products, but ease of manipulation and isolation can influence the choice in the future use. Compound (1), which shows characteristics of a free fluoride reagent, can be obtained with good yield and without the contaminants usually present in such compounds. All products were characterized by X-Ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy and free fluoride (Ff ?) chemical analysis.

Alkenes are used ubiquitously as starting materials and synthetic targets in all areas of chemistry. Controlling their geometry and position along a chain is vital to their reactivity and properties yet remains challenging. Alkene isomerization is an atom-economical process to synthesize targeted alkenes, and selectivity can be controlled using transition metal catalysts. The development of mild, selective isomerization reactivity has enabled efficient tandem catalytic systems for the remote functionalization of alkenes, a process in which a starting alkene is isomerized to a new position prior to the functionalization step. The key challenges in developing isomerization catalysts for remote functionalization applications are (i) a lack of modularity in the catalyst structure and (ii) the requirement of nonmodular and/or harsh additives during catalyst activation. We address both challenges with a modular (NHC)Ni(0)/silane catalytic system (NHC, N-heterocyclic carbene), demonstrating the use of triaryl silanes and readily accessible (NHC)Ni(0) complexes to form the proposed active (NHC)(silyl)Ni-H species in situ. We show that modification of the steric and electronic nature of the catalyst via modification of the ancillary ligand and silane partner, respectively, is easily achieved, creating a uniquely versatile catalytic system that is effective for the formation of internal alkenes with high yield and selectivity for the E-alkene. The use of silanes as mild activators enables isomerization of substrates with a variety of functional groups, including acid-labile groups. The broad substrate scope, enabled by catalyst design, makes this catalytic system a strong candidate for use in tandem catalytic applications. Preliminary mechanistic studies support a Ni-H insertion/elimination pathway.

A simple experimental procedure for scaling carbene Br?nsted basicity is described. The results highlight the strong basicity of pyrazol-4-ylidenes, a type of mesoionic carbene, also named cyclic-bentallenes (CBA). They are more basic (pKaH >42.7 in acetonitrile) than the popular proazaphosphatrane Verkade bases, and even the Schwesinger phosphazene superbase P4(tBu). The basicity of these compounds can readily be tuned, and they are accessible in multigram quantities. These results open new avenues for carbon centered superbases.

A mild, efficient, and practical catalytic system for the synthesis of highly privileged stilbene pharmacophores is reported. This system uses N-heterocyclic carbene palladium (II) Pyridine (NHC-Pd (II)-Py) complex to catalyze the formation of carbon-carbon bonds between olefin derivatives and various bromide. This simple, gentle and user-friendly method can offer a variety of stilbene products in excellent yields under solvent-free condition. And its scale-up reaction has excellent yield and this system can be applied to industrial fields. The utility of this method is highlighted by its universality and modular synthesis of a series of bioactive molecules or important medical intermediates.
