Combined Theoretical and Experimental Studies of Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Methoxyarenes with Arylboronic Esters via C-O Bond Cleavage

Nickel(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling of methoxyarenes through C-O bond activation has been the subject of considerable research because of their favorable features compared with those of the cross-coupling of aryl halides, such as atom economy and efficiency. In 2008, we have reported nickel/PCy3-catalyzed cross-coupling of methoxyarenes with arylboronic esters in which the addition of a stoichiometric base such as CsF is essential for the reaction to proceed. Recently, we have also found that the scope of the substrate in the Suzuki-Miyaura-type cross-coupling of methoxyarenes can be greatly expanded by using 1,3-dicyclohexylimidazol-2-ylidene (ICy) as the ligand. Interestingly, a stoichiometric amount of external base is not required for the nickel/ICy-catalyzed cross-coupling. For the mechanism and origin of the effect of the external base to be elucidated, density functional theory calculations are conducted. In the nickel/PCy3-catalyzed reactions, the activation energy for the oxidative addition of the C(aryl)-OMe bond is too high to occur under the catalytic conditions. However, the oxidative addition process becomes energetically feasible when CsF and an arylboronic ester interact with a Ni(PCy3)2/methoxyarene fragment to form a quaternary complex. In the nickel/ICy-catalyzed reactions, the oxidative addition of the C(aryl)-OMe bond can proceed more easily without the aid of CsF because the nickel-ligand bonds are stronger and therefore stabilize the transition state. The subsequent transmetalation from an Ar-Ni-OMe intermediate is determined to proceed through a pathway with lower energies than those required for β-hydrogen elimination. The overall driving force of the reaction is the reductive elimination to form the carbon-carbon bond.

Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Aryl 2-Pyridyl Ethers with Organozinc Reagents: Removal of the Directing Group via Cleavage of the Carbon-Oxygen Bonds

Reaction of aryl 2-pyridyl ethers with arylzinc reagents under catalysis of NiCl2(PCy3)2 affords aryl-aryl cross-coupling products via selective cleavage of CAr-OPy bonds. The reaction features a wide substrate range and good compatibility of functional groups. β-H-free alkylzinc reagents are also applicable as the nucleophiles in the transformation, whereas β-H-containing alkylzinc reagents lead to a mixture of cross-coupling and hydrogenation products.

Nickel-Catalyzed Amination of Aryl Chlorides with Amides

A nickel-catalyzed amination of aryl chlorides with diverse amides via C-N bond cleavage has been realized under mild conditions. A broad substrate scope with excellent functional group tolerance at a low catalyst loading makes the protocol powerful for synthesizing various aromatic amines. The aryl chlorides could selectively couple to the amino fragments rather than the carbonyl moieties of amides. Our protocol complements the conventional amination of aryl chlorides and expands the usage of inactive amides.

Nickel Carbodicarbene Catalyzes Kumada Cross-Coupling of Aryl Ethers with Grignard Reagents through C–O Bond Activation

The development of a cross-coupling reaction protocol between aryl ethers and Grignard reagents catalyzed by carbodicarbene (CDC) nickel complexes to afford biaryl compounds through C–O cleavage is reported. Aromatic substrates featuring a broad range of electron neutral, donating, or withdrawing groups are introduced at the desired position. The method has proven effective over a wide range of naphthyl methyl ethers, anisoles, and Grignard reagents. The robustness of the protocol is validated by performing multiple cleavage reactions, gram scale synthesis, and arylation of a dimethoxy esterdiol derivative.

Chromium-Catalyzed Regioselective Kumada Arylative Cross-Coupling of C(aryl)-O Bonds with a Traceless Activation Strategy

We report here the chromium-catalyzed regioselective Kumada arylative cross-coupling of C(aryl)-O bonds at ambient temperature. By using a simple and low-cost chromium(II) chloride salt as a precatalyst, accompanied by a 2-pyridyl ligation, the catalytic cleavage and arylative coupling of C(aryl)-O bonds were achieved with a traceless activation strategy, overcoming the regioselectivity obstacle when several C-O bonds coexist in the Kumada coupling system.

Transition-Metal-Free Cross-Coupling of Aryl and Heteroaryl Thiols with Arylzinc Reagents

Cross-coupling of (hetero)arylthiols with arylzinc reagents via C-S cleavage was performed under transition-metal-free conditions. The reaction displays a wide scope of substrates and high functional-group tolerance. Electron-rich and -deficient (hetero)arylthiols and arylzinc reagents can be employed in this transformation. Mg2+ and Li+ ions were demonstrated to facilitate the reaction.

Nickel-mediated decarbonylation of simple unstrained ketones through the cleavage of carbon-carbon bonds

Despite advances in methods for the decarbonylation of aldehydes, the decarbonylation of ketones has been met with limited success because this process requires the activation of two inert carbon-carbon bonds. All of the decarbonylation reactions of simple unstrained ketones reported to date require the addition of a stoichiometric rhodium complex. We report herein the nickel/N-heterocyclic carbene-mediated decarbonylation of simple diaryl ketones. This reaction shows unique acceleration effects based on the presence of both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups.

Practical Cross-Coupling between O-Based Electrophiles and Aryl Bromides via Ni Catalysis

Cross-coupling of various O-based electrophiles with aryl bromides was developed through Ni-catalyzed C-O activation in the presence of magnesium. Beside carboxylates, carbamates, and ethers, phenols exhibited excellent reactivity under modified conditions. This chemistry was featured as a simple and environmentally benign process with low catalyst loading and easy manipulations. The method exhibited broad substrate scopes.
