To pursue a highly regioselective and efficient reductive Heck reaction, a series of moisture-and air-stable α-diimine palladium precatalysts were rationally designed, readily synthesized, and fully characterized. The relationship between the structures of the palladium complexes and the catalytic properties was investigated. It was revealed that the"bulky-yet-flexible"palladium complexes allowed highly anti-Markovnikov-selective hydroarylation of alkenes with (hetero)aryl bromides under aerobic conditions. Further synthetic application of the present protocol could provide rapid and straightforward access to functional and biologically active molecules.

A highly selective hydrogenation of alkynes using an air-stable and readily available manganese catalyst has been achieved. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions and tolerates various functional groups, resulting in (Z)-alkenes and allylic alcohols in high yields. Mechanistic experiments suggest that the reaction proceeds via a bifunctional activation involving metal-ligand cooperativity.

, p. 3231 - 3236 (2019/03/21)
We have developed a nickel-catalyzed hydroarylation of alkenes using aryl halides as coupling partners. Excellent anti-Markovnikov selectivity is achieved with aryl-substituted alkenes and enol ethers. We also show that hydroarylation occurs with alkyl substituted alkenes to yield linear products. Preliminary examination of the reaction mechanism suggests irreversible hydrometallation as the selectivity determining step of the hydroarylation.

The first general catalytic approach to effecting transfer hydrogenation (TH) of unactivated alkenes using ethanol as the hydrogen source is described. A new NCP-type pincer iridium complex (BQ-NCOP)IrHCl containing a rigid benzoquinoline backbone has been developed for efficient, mild TH of unactivated C-C multiple bonds with ethanol, forming ethyl acetate as the sole byproduct. A wide variety of alkenes, including multisubstituted alkyl alkenes, aryl alkenes, and heteroatom-substituted alkenes, as well as O- or N-containing heteroarenes and internal alkynes, are suitable substrates. Importantly, the (BQ-NCOP)Ir/EtOH system exhibits high chemoselectivity for alkene hydrogenation in the presence of reactive functional groups, such as ketones and carboxylic acids. Furthermore, the reaction with C2D5OD provides a convenient route to deuterium-labeled compounds. Detailed kinetic and mechanistic studies have revealed that monosubstituted alkenes (e.g., 1-octene, styrene) and multisubstituted alkenes (e.g., cyclooctene (COE)) exhibit fundamental mechanistic difference. The OH group of ethanol displays a normal kinetic isotope effect (KIE) in the reaction of styrene, but a substantial inverse KIE in the case of COE. The catalysis of styrene or 1-octene with relatively strong binding affinity to the Ir(I) center has (BQ-NCOP)IrI(alkene) adduct as an off-cycle catalyst resting state, and the rate law shows a positive order in EtOH, inverse first-order in styrene, and first-order in the catalyst. In contrast, the catalysis of COE has an off-cycle catalyst resting state of (BQ-NCOP)IrIII(H)[O(Et)···HO(Et)···HOEt] that features a six-membered iridacycle consisting of two hydrogen-bonds between one EtO ligand and two EtOH molecules, one of which is coordinated to the Ir(III) center. The rate law shows a negative order in EtOH, zeroth-order in COE, and first-order in the catalyst. The observed inverse KIE corresponds to an inverse equilibrium isotope effect for the pre-equilibrium formation of (BQ-NCOP)IrIII(H)(OEt) from the catalyst resting state via ethanol dissociation. Regardless of the substrate, ethanol dehydrogenation is the slow segment of the catalytic cycle, while alkene hydrogenation occurs readily following the rate-determining step, that is, β-hydride elimination of (BQ-NCOP)Ir(H)(OEt) to form (BQ-NCOP)Ir(H)2 and acetaldehyde. The latter is effectively converted to innocent ethyl acetate under the catalytic conditions, thus avoiding the catalyst poisoning via iridium-mediated decarbonylation of acetaldehyde.
Two dimensional inorganic electride-promoted electron transfer efficiency in transfer hydrogenation of alkynes and alkenes

A simple and highly efficient transfer hydrogenation of alkynes and alkenes by using a two-dimensional electride, dicalcium nitride ([Ca2N]+·e-), as an electron transfer agent is disclosed. Excellent yields in the transformation are attributed to the remarkable electron transfer efficiency in the electride-mediated reactions. It is clarified that an effective discharge of electrons from the [Ca2N]+·e- electride in alcoholic solvents is achieved by the decomposition of the electride via alcoholysis and the generation of ammonia and Ca(OiPr)2. We found that the choice of solvent was crucial for enhancing the electron transfer efficiency, and a maximum efficiency of 80% was achieved by using a DMF mixed isopropanol co-solvent system. This is the highest value reported to date among single electron transfer agents in the reduction of C-C multiple bonds. The observed reactivity and efficiency establish that electrides with a high density of anionic electrons can readily participate in the reduction of organic functional groups.

The development of a palladium-catalyzed sp3-sp2 Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of B-alkyl-N-methyliminodiacetyl (B-alkyl MIDA) boronates and (hetero)aryl bromides is reported. This transformation is tolerant of a variety of functional groups (F, NO2, CN, Cl, COCH3, and CHO). B-Alkyl MIDA boronates allow an efficient cross-coupling reaction directed toward the synthesis of unsymmetrical methylene diaryls as well as alkylated arenes in good to excellent yields.

The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of substituted potassium alkyltrifluoroborates with aryl halides and aryl triflates proceeds readily with moderate to good yields. The potassium alkyltrifluoroborates 1, 2, and 3a-e were easily synthesized and obtained as air-stable crystalline solids that can be stored for long periods of time. All of the cross-couplings proceed under the same reaction conditions using PdCl2(dppf)·CH2cl2 as catalyst in THF-H2O in the presence of 3 equiv of Cs2CO3 as base.
Cation-π interactions in the gas phase methylation of α,ωdiphenylalkanes

The methylation of α,ω-diphenylalkanes (C6H5(CH2)nC6H5 , n = 1-6) has been performed in the gas phase using Me2Cl+ ions as alkylating species and toluene as reference substrate. Both in radiolytic experiments at atmospheric pressure and in FT-ICR measurements at 10-8 Torr, the selected diphenylalkanes reacted faster than toluene, the highest reactivity displayed by 1,3-diphenylpropane. The kinetic pattern of the reaction, conforming to the established scheme of an electrophilic alkylation reaction, is consistent with a rate-determining formation of the σ-complex intermediate, at variance with the tert-butylation of the same series of compounds by Me3C+ ions, occurring at the collisional encounter rate. The kinetic features are explained by a marked effect due to the presence of the second aryl ring, providing additional stabilization of both the ion-neutral collision complex and the σ complex with respect to toluene. Both factors contribute to the δEa of ca. 8 kcal mol-1 for the competition of 1,3-diphenylpropane and toluene found in the temperature dependence study of the Me2Cl+ reaction.
