Radical hydrodehalogenation of aryl halides (Ar-X; X = Cl, Br, I) is achieved in the presence of atmospheric pressure H2 as a H-atom donor using a Co(I) catalyst bearing a phenanthroline-based PNNP ligand (2,9-bis((diphenylphosphanyl)methyl)-1,10-phenanthroline). The reaction proceeds under mild conditions (1 atm H2) and is applicable to aryl bromides and aryl chlorides with various functional groups. A mechanistic study revealed that the PNNP-Co complex underwent facile H-H cleavage and facilitated a H-atom transfer. This process is mediated by a long-range metal-ligand cooperation of the PNNP-Co system, which includes the dearomatization/aromatization sequence of the phenanthroline ligand backbone. A radical clock experiment demonstrated the Ar-X bond cleavage via a radical mechanism. Further kinetic study supported that the rate-determining step includes electron transfer from the Co center to the substrate, affording a radical pair ArX?- and an odd-electron metal-halide complex [Co(II) + ArX?-]? as a transition state.

We present herein the utilization of NHC-stabilized alane adducts of the type (NHC)·AlH3 [NHC = Me2Im (1), Me2ImMe (2), iPr2Im (3), iPr2ImMe (4), Dipp2Im (5)] and (NHC)·AliBu2H [NHC = iPr2Im (6), Dipp2Im (7)] as novel hydride transfer reagents in the hydrodefluorination (HDF) of different fluoroaromatics and hexafluoropropene. Depending on the alane adduct used, HDF of pentafluoropyridine to 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoropyridine in yields of 15–99 % was observed. The adducts 1, 2, and 5 achieved a quantitative conversion into 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoropyridine at room temperature immediately after mixing the reactants. Studies on the HDF of fluorobenzenes with the (NHC)·AlH3 adducts 1, 3, and 5 and (Dipp2Im)·AliBu2H (7) showed the decisive influence of the reaction temperature on the H/F exchange and that 135 °C in xylene afforded the best product distribution. Although the HDF of hexafluorobenzene yielded 1,2,4,5-tetrafluorobenzene in moderate yields with traces of 1,2,3,4-tetrafluorobenzene and 1,2,4-trifluorobenzene, pentafluorobenzene was converted quantitatively into 1,2,4,5-tetrafluorobenzene, with (Dipp2Im)·AliBu2H (7) showing the highest activity and reaching complete conversion after 12 h at 135 °C in xylene. The HDF of hexafluoropropene with (Me2Im)·AlH3 (1) occurred even at low temperatures and preferably at the CF2 group with the formation of 1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene (with 0.4 equiv. of 1) or 2,3,3,3-tetra-fluoropropene (with 0.9 equiv. of 1) as the main product.

Pioneering studies by Kuivila, published more than 50 years ago, suggested ipso protonation of the boronate as the mechanism for base-catalyzed protodeboronation of arylboronic acids. However, the study was limited to UV spectrophotometric analysis under acidic conditions, and the aqueous association constants (Ka) were estimated. By means of NMR, stopped-flow IR, and quenched-flow techniques, the kinetics of base-catalyzed protodeboronation of 30 different arylboronic acids has now been determined at pH > 13 in aqueous dioxane at 70 °C. Included in the study are all 20 isomers of C6HnF(5-n)B(OH)2 with half-lives spanning 9 orders of magnitude: a and Sδ values, kinetic isotope effects (2H, 10B, 13C), linear free-energy relationships, and density functional theory calculations, we have identified a mechanistic regime involving unimolecular heterolysis of the boronate competing with concerted ipso protonation/C-B cleavage. The relative Lewis acidities of arylboronic acids do not correlate with their protodeboronation rates, especially when ortho substituents are present. Notably, 3,5-dinitrophenylboronic acid is orders of magnitude more stable than tetra-and pentafluorophenylboronic acids but has a similar pKa.
