Negishi-type arylation of trialkylsulfonium salts with arylzinc reagents has been accomplished under nickel catalysis. The use of cyclohexanethiol as an additional ligand was found to be particularly important to promote C-S cleavage. The present reaction accommodates one-pot arylation of dialkyl sulfides by combining with S -methylation with MeOTf. Mechanistic experiments suggest that C-S cleavage would proceed via single-electron transfer (SET) to generate the most stable carbon-centered radical and that the thiolate ligand would promote the C-S cleavage and radical recombination step.

Halogen-bridged methylnaphthyl (MeNAP) palladium dimers are presented as multipurpose Pd-precursors, ideally suited for catalytic method development and preparative organic synthesis. By simply mixing with phosphine or carbene ligands, they are in situ converted into well-defined monoligated complexes. Their catalytic performance was benchmarked against state-of-the-art systems in challenging Buchwald–Hartwig, Heck, Suzuki and Negishi couplings, and ketone arylations. Their use enabled record-setting activities, beyond those achievable by optimization of the ligand alone. The MeNAP catalysts permit syntheses of tetra-ortho-substituted arenes and bulky anilines in near-quantitative yields at room temperature, allow mono-arylations of small ketones, and enable so far elusive cross-couplings of secondary alkyl boronic acids with aryl chlorides.

Organolithium compounds are amongst the most important organometallic reagents and frequently used in difficult metallation reactions. However, their direct use in the formation of C?C bonds is less established. Although remarkable advances in the coupling of aryllithium compounds have been achieved, Csp2?Csp3 coupling reactions are very limited. Herein, we report the first general protocol for the coupling or aryl chlorides with alkyllithium reagents. Palladium catalysts based on ylide-substituted phosphines (YPhos) were found to be excellently suited for this transformation giving high selectivities at room temperature with a variety of aryl chlorides without the need for an additional transmetallation reagent. This is demonstrated in gram-scale synthesis including building blocks for materials chemistry and pharmaceutical industry. Furthermore, the direct coupling of aryllithiums as well as Grignard reagents with aryl chlorides was also easily accomplished at room temperature.

Redox noninnocent ligands are a promising tool to moderate electron transfer processes within base-metal catalysts. This report introduces bis(imino)acenaphthene (BIAN) cobaltate complexes as hydrogenation catalysts. Sterically hindered trisubstituted alkenes, imines, and quinolines underwent clean hydrogenation under mild conditions (2-10 bar, 20-80 °C) by use of the stable catalyst precursor [(DippBIAN)CoBr2] and the cocatalyst LiEt3BH. Mechanistic studies support a homogeneous catalysis pathway involving alkene and hydrido cobaltates as active catalyst species. Furthermore, considerable reaction acceleration by alkali cations and Lewis acids was observed. The dinuclear hydridocobaltate anion with bridging hydride ligands was isolated and fully characterized.

Anionic α-diimine cobalt complexes, such as [K(thf)1.5{(DippBIAN)Co(η4-cod)}] (1; Dipp=2,6-diisopropylphenyl, cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene), catalyze the dehydrogenation of several amine-boranes. Based on the excellent catalytic properties, an especially effective transfer hydrogenation protocol for challenging olefins, imines, and N-heteroarenes was developed. NH3BH3 was used as a dihydrogen surrogate, which transferred up to two equivalents of H2 per NH3BH3. Detailed spectroscopic and mechanistic studies are presented, which document the rate determination by acidic protons in the amine-borane.

While the coordination chemistry of monometallic complexes and the surface properties of extended metal particles are well understood, the control of metal nanocluster formation has remained challenging. The isolation of discrete metal clusters provides an especially rare snapshot at the nanoscale of cluster growth. The synthesis and full characterization of the first early-transition-metal alkynyl cubane and the first μ3-alkynyl Mn3 motif are reported.

A combination of iron(III) fluoride and 1,3-bis(2,6-diiso-propylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene (SIPr) catalyzes the high-yielding cross coupling of an electron-rich aryl chloride with an alkyl Grignard reagent, which cannot be attained using other iron catalysts. A variety of alkoxy-or amino-substituted aryl chlorides can be cross-coupled with various alkyl Grignard reagents regardless of the presence or absence of β-hydrogens in the alkyl group. A radical probe experiment using 1-(but-3-enyl)-2-chlorobenzene does not afford the corresponding cyclization product, therefore excluding the intermediacy of radical species. Solution-phase X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) analysis, with the help of density functional theory (DFT) calculations, indicates the formation of a high-spin (S = 2) heteroleptic difluorido organoferrate(II), [MgX][FeIIF2(SIPr)-(Me/alkyl)], in the reaction mixture. DFT calculations also support a feasible reaction pathway, including the formation of a difluorido organoferrate(II) intermediate which undergoes a novel Lewis acid-assisted oxidative addition to form a neutral organoiron(IV) intermediate, which leads to an FeII/FeIV cata-lytic cycle, where the fluorido ligand and the magnesium ion play key roles.

Direct palladium-catalysed cross-couplings between organolithium reagents and (hetero)aryl halides (Br, Cl) proceed fast, cleanly and selectively at room temperature in air, with water as the only reaction medium and in the presence of NaCl as a cheap additive. Under optimised reaction conditions, a water-accelerated catalysis is responsible for furnishing C(sp3)–C(sp2), C(sp2)–C(sp2), and C(sp)–C(sp2) cross-coupled products, in competition with protonolysis, within a reaction time of 20 s, in yields of up to 99 %, and in the absence of undesired dehalogenated/homocoupling side products even when challenging secondary organolithiums serve as the starting material. It is worth noting that the proposed protocol is scalable and the catalyst and water can easily and successfully be recycled up to 10 times, with an E-factor as low as 7.35.

While the coordination chemistry of monometallic complexes and the surface characteristics of larger metal particles are well understood, preparations of molecular metallic nanoclusters remain a great challenge. Discrete planar metal clusters constitute nanoscale snapshots of cluster growth but are especially rare owing to the strong preference for three-dimensional structures and rapid aggregation or decomposition. A simple ligand-exchange procedure has led to the formation of a novel heteroleptic Mn6 nanocluster that crystallized in an unprecedented flat-chair topology and exhibited unique magnetic and catalytic properties. Magnetic susceptibility studies documented strong electronic communication between the manganese ions. Reductive activation of the molecular Mn6 cluster enabled catalytic hydrogenations of alkenes, alkynes, and imines.

The development of cobalt catalysts that combine easy accessibility and high selectivity constitutes a promising approach to the replacement of noble-metal catalysts in hydrogenation reactions. This report introduces a user-friendly protocol that avoids complex ligands, hazardous reductants, special reaction conditions, and the formation of highly unstable pre-catalysts. Reduction of CoBr2 with LiEt3BH in the presence of alkenes led to the formation of hydrogenation catalysts that effected clean conversions of alkenes, carbonyls, imines, and heteroarenes at mild conditions (3 mol % cat., 2–10 bar H2, 20–80 °C). Poisoning studies and nanoparticle characterization by TEM, EDX, and DLS supported the notion of a heterotopic catalysis mechanism.
