Cobalt-Catalyzed C(sp2)-C(sp3) Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling Enabled by Well-Defined Precatalysts with L,X-Type Ligands

Cobalt(II) halides in combination with phenoxyimine (FI) ligands generated efficient precatalysts in situ for the C(sp2)-C(sp3) Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling between alkyl bromides and neopentylglycol (hetero)arylboronic esters. The protocol enabled efficient C-C bond formation with a host of nucleophiles and electrophiles (36 examples, 34-95%) with precatalyst loadings of 5 mol %. Studies with alkyl halide electrophiles that function as radical clocks support the intermediacy of alkyl radicals during the course of the catalytic reaction. The improved performance of the FI-cobalt catalyst was correlated with decreased lifetimes of cage-escaped radicals as compared to those of diamine-type ligands. Studies of the phenoxyimine-cobalt coordination chemistry validate the L,X interaction leading to the discovery of an optimal, well-defined, air-stable mono-FI-cobalt(II) precatalyst structure.

Nickel-catalyzed C-N bond activation: Activated primary amines as alkylating reagents in reductive cross-coupling

Nickel-catalyzed reductive cross coupling of activated primary amines with aryl halides under mild reaction conditions has been achieved for the first time. Due to the avoidance of stoichiometric organometallic reagents and external bases, the scope regarding both coupling partners is broad. Thus, a wide range of substrates, natural products and drugs with diverse functional groups are tolerated. Moreover, experimental mechanistic investigations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations in combination with wavefunction analysis have been performed to understand the catalytic cycle in more detail.

Dual Photoredox/Nickel-Catalyzed Three-Component Carbofunctionalization of Alkenes

The potential of merging photoredox and nickel catalysis to perform multicomponent alkene difunctionalizations under visible-light irradiation is demonstrated here. Secondary and tertiary alkyl groups, as well as sulfonyl moieties can be added to the terminal position of the double bond with simultaneous arylation of the internal carbon atom in a single step under mild reaction conditions. The process, devoid of stoichiometric additives, benefits from the use of bench-stable and easy-to-handle reagents, is operationally simple, and tolerates a wide variety of functional groups.

Nickel-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Alkylation of Aryl Iodides with Anhydrides

We present the anhydride-based decarboxylative alkylation of aryl iodides catalyzed by nickel. This method of decarboxylative coupling works with a broad scope of aliphatic carboxylic anhydrides and tolerates synthetically useful aromatic substituents. Assisted by a redox system of pyridine N-oxide and zinc additives, the current reaction occurs under mild conditions and without the assistance of photocatalyst. Notably, this method features high chemoselectivity toward alkyl migration with mixed aliphatic/aromatic anhydrides. Thus, it provides a powerful synthetic tool to modify high-valued aliphatic carboxylic acids by converting them into mixed anhydrides using readily available aryl carboxylic acids such as p-toluic acid. We propose a catalytic cycle that involves the key steps of free radical-based decarboxylation and subsequent alkyl transfer to nickel that precedes an oxidatively induced C-C reductive elimination from Ni(III).

Nickel-catalyzed selective oxidative radical cross-coupling: An effective strategy for inert Csp3-H functionalization

An effective strategy for inert Csp3-H functionalization through nickel-catalyzed selective radical cross-couplings was demonstrated. Density functional theory calculations were conducted and strongly supported the radical cross-coupling pathway assisted by nickel catalyst, which was further confirmed by radical-trapping experiments. Different arylborates including arylboronic acids, arylboronic acid esters and 2,4,6-triarylboroxin were all good coupling partners, generating the corresponding Csp3-H arylation products in good yields.

Reduction of aromatic compounds with Al powder using noble metal catalysts in water under mild reaction conditions

In water, Al powder becomes a powerful reducing agent, transforming in cyclohexyl either one or both benzene rings of aromatic compounds such as biphenyl, fluorene and 9,10-dihydroanthracene under mild reaction conditions in the presence of noble metal catalysts, such as Pd/C, Rh/C, Pt/C, or Ru/C. The reaction is carried out in a sealed tube, without the use of any organic solvent, at low temperature. Partial aromatic ring reduction was observed when using Pd/C, the reaction conditions being 24 h and 60 °C. The complete reduction process of both aromatic rings required 12 h and 80 °C with Al powder in the presence of Pt/C.

Vanadium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of alkyl halides with aryl grignard reagents

Vanadium(III) chloride catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of alkyl halides with arylmagnesium bromides. Various arylmagnesium bromides, except for an ortho-substituted arylmagnesium reagent, could be used for the reaction. Among alkyl halides tested, cyclohexyl halides and primary alkyl halides were good substrates. The reactions likely proceed via carbon-centered radical intermediates. 2008 The Chemical Society of Japan.

A General Olefin Synthesis

The reaction between secondary Grignard reagents and alkylthioarenes or alkylthioalkenes in the presence of 1:1 nickel dichloride-triphenylphosphine causing the substitution of alkylthio-groups by hydrogen atoms, the nickel(0)-induced replacement of alkylthio-groups of the aforementioned sulfides by alkyl or aryl functions, and the observation of regiocontrol in the catalysed reactions of Grignard reagents with unsymmetrical 1,1-bis(alkylthio)alkenes have led to a scheme of general, regio-, and stereo-selective olefin synthesis.

Carbanions. 21. Reactions of 2- and 3-p-Biphenylylalkyl Chlorides with Alkali Metals. Preparation of Labile Spiro Anions

The present work was undertaken to see if (3-p-biphenylylpropyl)- and (2-p-biphenylethyl)cesium cyclize like (4-p-biphenylbutyl)cesium to stable spiro anions.Reaction of 1-p-biphenylyl-3-chloropropane (5) with Cs-K-Na alloy in THF at -75 deg C gave, under the optimum conditions found, 36percent of 7-phenylspironona-6,5-dien-5-yl anion (8) besides 3-p-biphenylylpropyl (7), 1-p-biphenylylpropyl (9), and p-biphenylylmethyl (10) anions, according to the products of carbonation.The spiro anion 8 (Cs+ as the counterion) has a half-life of about 13 min at -75 deg C.Incontrast, 5 reacts with lithium to give predominantly (3-p-biphenylylpropyl)lithium.Reaction of 1-p-biphenylyl-2-chloroethane with Cs-K-Na alloy gave no appreciable spiro anion under conditions which were successful with 5.In the reaction of 1-p-biphenylyl-2-chloro-2-methylpropane (28) with Cs-K-Na alloy the α-gem-dimethyl group accelerates migration of the p-biphenylyl group to give products similar to those from 2-p-biphenylyl-1-chloro-2-methylpropane (24); however, the expected intermediate spiro anion 26 was undetectable by the carbonation technique.With both α- and β-gem-dimethyl groups, 2-p-biphenylyl-3-chloro-2,3-dimethylbutane (41) reacts with Cs-K-Na alloy to give 1,1,2,2-tetramethyl-6-phenylspiroocta-5,7-dien-4-yl anion (43) and 2-p-biphenylyl-1,1,2-trimethylpropyl anion (42) in about a 2:1 ratio according to the results of carbonation.The open anion 42 and the spiro anion 43 appear to be in mobile equilibrium (Cs+ as the counterion) with half-lives of about 22 min in THF at -75 deg C.With lithium as counterion, only the open product (2-p-biphenylyl-1,1,2-trimethylpropyl)lithium (50) was detectable by carbonation.
