Highly active recyclable heterogeneous Pd/ZnO nanoparticle catalyst: Sustainable developments for the C-O and C-N bond cross-coupling reactions of aryl halides under ligand-free conditions

Efficient Pd supported on ZnO nanoparticles for the ligand-free O-arylation and N-arylation of phenols and various N-H heterocycles with aryl chlorides, bromides, and iodides were readily synthesized and characterized. The amount of palladium on ZnO is 9.84 wt% (0.005 g of the catalyst contains 462 × 10-8 mol% of Pd) which was determined by ICP analysis. This nano sized Pd/ZnO with an average particle size of 20-25 nm and specific surface area 40.61 m2 g-1 was used as a new reusable heterogeneous catalyst for the formation of C-O and C-N bonds in organic synthesis. This protocol gives the arylated product in satisfactory yields without any N2 or Ar flow. The catalyst can be recovered and recycled several times without marked loss of activity.

Construction of Di(hetero)arylmethanes Through Pd-Catalyzed Direct Dehydroxylative Cross-Coupling of Benzylic Alcohols and Aryl Boronic Acids Mediated by Sulfuryl Fluoride (SO2F2)

A practical Pd-catalyzed direct dehydroxylative coupling of (hetero)benzylic alcohols with (hetero)arylboronic acids for the constructions of di(hetero)arylmethane derivatives under SO2F2 was described. This new method provided a strategically distinct approach to di(hetero)arylmethane derivatives from readily available and abundant benzylic alcohols under mild condition.

Cross-Coupling of Phenol Derivatives with Umpolung Aldehydes Catalyzed by Nickel

A nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling to construct the C(sp2)-C(sp3) bond was developed from two sustainable biomass-based feedstocks: phenol derivatives with umpolung aldehydes. This strategy features the in situ generation of moisture/air-stable hydrazones from naturally abundant aldehydes, which act as alkyl nucleophiles under catalysis to couple with readily available phenol derivatives. The avoidance of using both halides as the electrophiles and organometallic or organoboron reagents (also derived from halides) as the nucleophiles makes this method more sustainable. Water tolerance, great functional group (ketone, ester, free amine, amide, etc.) compatibility, and late-stage elaboration of complex biological molecules exemplified its practicability and unique chemoselectivity over organometallic reagents.

Gold(I)-catalyzed Benzylation of (Hetero)aryl Boronic Acids with (Hetero)benzyl Bromides by the Strategy of a SN2-type Reaction

Herein, the first example of gold-catalyzed benzylation of (hetero)aryl boronic acids with (hetero)benzyl bromides to give the corresponding cross-coupling products in moderate to good yields is reported. The reaction proceeds through a possible intermolecular SN2-type reaction pathway to give a wide variety of di(hetero)arylmethanes as the desired products. An intriguing reaction mechanism has been proposed on the basis of control experiments, 31P-NMR spectroscopic detection and DFT calculations.

Transition-Metal-Free Suzuki-Type Cross-Coupling Reaction of Benzyl Halides and Boronic Acids via 1,2-Metalate Shift

Cross-coupling of organoboron compounds with electrophiles (Suzuki-Miyaura reaction) has greatly advanced C-C bond formation and has been well received in medicinal chemistry. During the past 50 years, transition metals have played a central role throughout the catalytic cycle of this important transformation. In this process, chemoselectivity among multiple carbon-halogen bonds is a common challenge. In particular, selective oxidative addition of transition metals to alkyl halides rather than aryl halides is difficult due to unfavorable transition states and bond strengths. We describe a new approach that uses a single organic sulfide catalyst to activate both C(sp3) halides and arylboronic acids via a zwitterionic boron "ate" intermediate. This "ate" species undergoes a 1,2-metalate shift to afford Suzuki coupling products using benzyl chlorides and arylboronic acids. Various diaryl methane analogues can be prepared, including those with complex and biologically active motifs. The reactions proceed under transition-metal-free conditions, and C(sp2) halides, including aryl bromides and iodides, are unaffected. The orthogonal chemoselectivity is demonstrated in the streamlined synthesis of highly functionalized diaryl methane scaffolds using multi-halogenated substrates. Preliminary mechanistic experiments suggest both the sulfonium salt and the sulfur ylide are involved in the reaction, with the formation of sulfonium salt being the slowest step in the overall catalytic cycle.

Kinetics of the solvolyses of benzhydryl derivatives: Basis for the construction of a comprehensive nucleofugality scale

A series of 21 benzhydrylium ions (diarylmethylium ions) are proposed as reference electrofuges for the development of a general nucleofugality scale, where nucleofugality refers to a combination of leaving group and solvent. A total of 167 solvolysis rate constants of benzhydrylium tosylates, bromides, chlorides, trifluoroacetates, 3,5-dinitrobenzoates, and 4-nitroben-zoates, two-thirds of which have been determined during this work, were subjected to a least-squares fit according to the correlation equation log k 25°C = Sf(Nf + Ef), where s f and Nf are nucleofuge-specific parameters and E f is an electrofuge-specific parameter. Although nucleofuges and electrofuges characterized in this way cover more than 12 orders of magnitude, a single set of the parameters, namely sf, Nf, and E f, is sufficient to calculate the solvolysis rate constants at 25°C with an accuracy of ± 16%. Because sf ≈ 1 for all nucleofuges, that is, leaving group/ solvent combinations, studied so far, qualitative discussions of nucleofugality can be based on Nf.

Friedel-Crafts alkylation of diphenyl oxide with benzyl chloride over sulphated zirconia

Friedel-Crafts reactions are ubiquitous in fine chemicals, intermediate, and petrochemical industries. In most of the cases very high yield and selectivities can be achieved with aluminium chloride as catalyst with nitrobenzene as a solvent. However, environmental concerns associated with aluminium chloride-nitrobenzene or BF3-HF or mineral acids catalysts have encouraged process changes and the development of solid acid-based Friedel-Crafts reactions which are economically viable as well. This contribution deals with the alkylation of diphenyl oxide with benzyl chloride using sulphated zirconia as solid acid catalyst, which gives excellent conversions of the product benzyldiphenyl oxide. The effects of a variety of parameters were studied in a batch reactor to establish the kinetics and mechanism of the reaction at 90°C. The reaction obeys the Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson mechanism involving weak adsorption of the reactants, and the reaction is intrinsically kinetically controlled.

Kinetics of hydride transfer reactions from hydrosilanes to carbenium ions. Substituent effects in silicenium ions

Rates of hydride transfer from hydrosilanes HSiR1R2R3 with widely varying substitution to para-substituted diarylcarbenium ions have been measured in dichloromethane solution. Generally the reactions follow a second-order rate law, -d[Ar2CH+]/dt = k2[Ar2CH+][HSiR1R2R3], and k2 is independent of the degree of ion-pairing and the nature of the counterion (exceptions are reported). The reaction rates are almost independent of solvent polarity. Kinetic isotope effects exclude an SET-type mechanism and are in accord with a polar mechanism with rate-determining formation of silicenium ions. The reactivities of para-substituted aryldimethylsilanes are linearly correlated with σp (ρ = -2.46), not with σp+. In the series H3SiHex, H2SiHex2, HSiHex3, the relative reactivities are 1.00:155:7890, and in the corresponding phenyl series the reactivity increase is much smaller (H3SiPh:H2SiPh2:HSiPh3 = 1.00:17.2:119). As a consequence, trihexylsilane is approximately two orders of magnitude more reactive than triphenylsilane though hexylsilane and phenylsilane show similar reactivities. Tris(trimethylsilyl)silane is just slightly more reactive than trimethylsilane. Replacement of hydrogen by chlorine reduces the reactivity by one order of magnitude. Variation of the electrophilicities of the hydride abstractors does not affect the relative reactivities of the silanes, i.e., constant selectivity (Ritchie-type) relationships are encountered. Correlation equations are given, which permit the calculation of hydride transfer rates from hydrosilanes to any carbenium ion on the basis of pkR+ values or the ethanolysis rate constants of the corresponding alkyl chlorides.
