Control over site-selectivity is a critical challenge for practical application of catalytic C-H functionalization reactions in organic synthesis. Despite the seminal breakthrough of the Pd-catalyzed C(sp2)-H arylation of simple arenes via a concerted metalation-deprotonation (CMD) pathway in 2006, understanding the site-selectivity of the reaction still remains elusive. Here, we have comprehensively investigated the scope, site-selectivity, and mechanism of the Pd-catalyzed direct C-H arylation reaction of simple arenes. Counterintuitively, electron-rich arenes preferably undergo meta-arylation without the need for a specifically designed directing group, whereas electron-deficient arenes bearing fluoro or cyano groups exhibit high ortho-selectivity and electron-deficient arenes bearing bulky electron-withdrawing groups favor the meta-product. Comprehensive mechanistic investigations through a combination of kinetic measurements and stoichiometric experiments using arylpalladium complexes have revealed that the Pd-based catalytic system works via a cooperative bimetallic mechanism, not the originally proposed monometallic CMD mechanism, regardless of the presence of a strongly coordinating L-type ligand. Notably, the transmetalation step, which is influenced by a potassium cation, is suggested as the selectivity-determining step.

(Figure Presented) A bimetallic copper/palladium catalyst system is disclosed that enables the use of tosylates as carbon electrophiles in decarboxylative coupling reactions. A variety of aromatic carboxylate salts, regardless of their substitution pattern, have been coupled with these inexpensive and readily available electrophiles to give the corresponding biaryl compounds in good yields (see scheme).

A bimetallic catalyst system has been developed that for the first time allows the decarboxylative crosscoupling of aryl and acyl carboxylates with aryl triflates. In contrast to aryl halides, these electrophiles give rise to non-coordinating anions as byproducts, which do not interfere with the decarboxylation step that leads to the generation of the carbon nucleophilic crosscoupling partner. As a result, the scope of carboxylate substrates usable in this transformation was extended from ortho-substituted or otherwise activated derivatives to a broad range of ortho-, meta-, and para-substituted aromatic carboxylates. Two alternative protocols have been optimized, one involving heating the substrates in the presence of CuI/1,10- phenanthroline (10-15 mol %) and PdI2/phosphine (23 mol%) in NMP for 1-24 h, the other involving CuI/l,10-phenanthroline (615mol%) and PdBr2/Tol-BINAP (2 mol % ) in NMP using microwave heating for 5-10 min. While most products are accessible using standard heating, the use of microwave irradiation was found to be beneficial especially for the conversion of non-activated carboxylates with functionalized aryl triflates. The synthetic utility of the transformation is demonstrated with 48 examples showing the scope and limitations of both protocols. In mechanistic studies, the special role of microwave irradiation is elucidated, and further perspectives of decarboxylase crosscouplings are discussed.
Rigid macrocyclic triamides as anion receptors: Anion-dependent binding stoichiometries and 1H chemical shift changes

The cyclic triamide of 3′-amino-3-biphenylcarboxlic acid is readily synthesized in a stepwise manner and represents a novel class of anion receptors with a large central cavity. This macrocycle binds more strongly to tetrahedral anions than spherical or p
