The cross-coupling of aryl esters has emerged as a powerful platform for the functionalization of otherwise inert acyl C-O bonds in chemical synthesis and catalysis. Herein, we report a combined experimental and computational study on the acyl Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of aryl esters mediated by well-defined, air- and moisture-stable Pd(ii)-NHC precatalysts [Pd(NHC)(μ-Cl)Cl]2. We present a comprehensive evaluation of [Pd(NHC)(μ-Cl)Cl]2 precatalysts and compare them with the present state-of-the-art [(Pd(NHC)allyl] precatalysts bearing allyl-type throw-away ligands. Most importantly, the study reveals [Pd(NHC)(μ-Cl)Cl]2 as the most reactive precatalysts discovered to date in this reactivity manifold. The unique synthetic utility of this unconventional O-C(O) cross-coupling is highlighted in the late-stage functionalization of pharmaceuticals and sequential chemoselective cross-coupling, providing access to valuable ketone products by a catalytic mechanism involving Pd insertion into the aryl ester bond. Furthermore, we present a comprehensive study of the catalytic cycle by DFT methods. Considering the clear advantages of [Pd(NHC)(μ-Cl)Cl]2 precatalysts on several levels, including facile one-pot synthesis, superior atom-economic profile to all other Pd(ii)-NHC catalysts, and versatile reactivity, these should be considered as the 'first-choice' catalysts for all routine applications in ester O-C(O) bond activation.

The development of robust, more efficient, general, easily accessible Pd(II)–NHC pre-catalysts remains a key issue in cross-coupling applications. A selection of well-defined, air and moisture stable [Pd(NHC)Cl(1-tBu-indenyl)] (NHC=IPr, IPrCl, IMes, SIMes, IPr*) pre-catalysts have been synthesized in good to excellent yields by reacting [Pd(1-tBu-indenyl)(μ-Cl)]2 and various NHC?HCl precursors in the presence of the weak base K2CO3 in green acetone. The synthesized Pd(II)-NHC derivatives displayed excellent catalytic activity in classical Suzuki-Miyaura and Buchwald–Hartwig reactions, especially when IPrCl is employed as ancillary ligand. Additionally, in the challenging Suzuki-Miyaura reaction between esters and arylboronic acids, the [Pd(IPr*)Cl(1-tBu-indenyl)] complex exhibited the optimum catalytic activity under very mild reaction conditions.

A novel series of bis Indy-NHC gold complexes have been developed and investigated via a mild Ag-carbene transfer route. The obtained complexes were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The catalytic property of these gold complexes was further evaluated in the oxidation of benzylic. The gold complex E1 showed a high catalytic activity in the oxidation of various benzylic substrates, resulting in the corresponding carbonyl compounds with excellent yields using TBHP as oxidant.

A sp3 C[sbnd]H bond functionalization and C[sbnd]C bond cleavage were realized by AIBN/O2 catalyst system, providing a series of benzophenones under mild reaction conditions. The mechanistic study shows that a peroxide intermediate is involved in this transformation, and in the case of diphenylmethanes, the sp3 C[sbnd]C bond is cleaved through the peroxide rearrangement, which might provides a new way to cleave relatively strong C[sbnd]C bond and be applied to more general C[sbnd]C bond activation.

A simple, and practical oxidative scission of aromatic olefins to carbonyl compounds using O2as the sole oxidant with poly(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether as a benign solvent has been developed. A wide range of monosubstituted,gem-disubstituted, 1,2-disubstituted, trisubstituted and tetrasubstituted aromatic olefins was successfully converted into the corresponding aldehydes and ketones in excellent yields even with gram-scale reaction. Some control experiments were also conducted to support a possible reaction pathway.

A Ce-catalyzed strategy is developed to produce biaryl methanonesviaphotooxidative cleavage of C-C double bonds at room temperature. This reaction is performed under air and demonstrates high activity as well as functional group tolerance. A synergistic Ce/ROH catalytic mechanism is also proposed based on the experimental observations. This protocol should be the first successful Ce-catalyzed photooxidation reaction of olefins with air as the oxidant, which would provide inspiration for the development of novel Ce-catalyzed photochemical synthesis processes.

The carbonyl compounds, synthesized by the oxidative cleavage of their corresponding olefins, are of great significance in organic synthesis, especially aryl ketones. We have developed a gentle and effective protocol, using acid red 94 as the organic metal-free photocatalyst, O2 as the oxidant, and water as the solvent. Under visible light irradiation, aryl ketone derivatives were obtained in moderate to excellent yields, showing good economic and environmental advantages.

With the increasing attention for green chemistry and sustainable development, there has been much interest in searching for greener methods and sources in organic synthesis. However, toxic additives or solvents are inevitably involved in most organic transformations. Herein, we first report the combination of direct utilization of solar energy, air as the oxidant and water as the solvent for the selective cleavage of CC double bonds in aryl olefins. Various α-methyl styrenes, diaryl alkenes as well as terminal styrenes are well tolerated in this green and sustainable strategy and furnished the desired carbonyl products in satisfactory yields. Like heterogeneous catalysis, this homogeneous catalytic system could also be reused and it retains good activity even after repeating three times. Mechanism investigations indicated that both O2- and 1O2 were involved in the reaction. Based on these results, two possible mechanisms, including the electron transfer pathway and the energy transfer pathway, were proposed.

Nucleophilic aromatic fluorination (SNAr) is among the most common methods for the formation of C(sp2)-F bonds. Despite many recent advances, a long-standing limitation of these transformations is the requirement for rigorously dry, aprotic conditions to maintain the nucleophilicity of fluoride and suppress the generation of side products. This report addresses this challenge by leveraging tetramethylammonium fluoride alcohol adducts (Me4NF·ROH) as fluoride sources for SNAr fluorination. Through systematic tuning of the alcohol substituent (R), tetramethylammonium fluoride tert-amyl alcohol (Me4NF·t-AmylOH) was identified as an inexpensive, practical, and bench-stable reagent for SNAr fluorination under mild and convenient conditions (80 °C in DMSO, without the requirement for drying of reagents or solvent). A substrate scope of more than 50 (hetero) aryl halides and nitroarene electrophiles is demonstrated.
