1,1’-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) and structurally related ferrocene bis-phosphines are indispensable ligands for coordination chemistry and catalysis. This contribution focuses on the coordination behaviour and catalytic properties of two dppf congeners bearing 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-2,4,6-trioxa-8-phosphatricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]decane-8-yl groups (CgP) as the P-donor moieties, viz. Ph2PfcCgP (1) and its semi-homologous counterpart Ph2PfcCH2CgP (2; fc = ferrocene-1,1’-diyl). In reactions with a PdCl2 source, compound 1 produced exclusively the cis-chelate complex [PdCl2(1-κ2P,P’)], while the homologated ligand 2 afforded a complex mixture of compounds which equilibrated upon heating in methanol in favour of the symmetrical dimeric complex trans-[(μ-2)PdCl2]2 as a mixture of racemic and meso isomers. Notably, in aqueous Pd-catalysed cyanation of aryl bromides and Suzuki-Miyaura-type cross-coupling of benzoyl chlorides with boronic acids producing benzophenones, catalysts generated in situ from bis-phosphine 1 and Pd(II) sources were often more active than their counterparts resulting from dppf and 2.

The Pd-catalyzed transformation of N-phthaloyl hydrazones into nitriles involving the cleavage of an N-N bond is reported. The use of N-heterocyclic carbene as a ligand is essential for the success of the reaction. N-Phthaloyl hydrazones prepared from aromatic aldehydes or cyclobutanones are applicable to this transformation, which gives aryl or alkenyl nitriles, respectively.

Pd(OAc)2/XPhos–SO3Na in a mixture of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-400) and water is shown to be a highly efficient catalyst for the cyanation of aryl chlorides with potassium ferrocyanide. The reaction proceeded smoothly at 100 or 120?oC with K2CO3 or KOAc as base, delivering a variety of aromatic nitriles in good to excellent yields. The isolation of the crude products is facilely performed by extraction with cyclohexane and more importantly, both expensive Pd(OAc)2 and XPhos–SO3Na in PEG-400/H2O system could be easily recycled and reused at least six times without any apparent loss of catalytic efficiency. Graphical Abstract: Palladium-catalyzed cyanation of aryl chlorides with potassium ferrocyanide leading to aryl nitriles by using Pd(OAc)2/XPhos–SO3Na/PEG-400/H2O as a highly efficient and recyclable catalytic system is described.[Figure not available: see fulltext.]

In ample variety of transformations, the presence of silver as an additive or co-catalyst is believed to be innocuous for the efficiency of the operating metal catalyst. Even though Ag additives are required often as coupling partners, oxidants or halide scavengers, its role as a catalytically competent species is widely neglected in cross-coupling reactions. Most likely, this is due to the erroneously assumed incapacity of Ag to undergo 2e? redox steps. Definite proof is herein provided for the required elementary steps to accomplish the oxidative trifluoromethylation of arenes through AgI/AgIII redox catalysis (i. e. CEL coupling), namely: i) easy AgI/AgIII 2e? oxidation mediated by air; ii) bpy/phen ligation to AgIII; iii) boron-to-AgIII aryl transfer; and iv) ulterior reductive elimination of benzotrifluorides from an [aryl-AgIII-CF3] fragment. More precisely, an ultimate entry and full characterization of organosilver(III) compounds [K]+[AgIII(CF3)4]? (K-1), [(bpy)AgIII(CF3)3] (2) and [(phen)AgIII(CF3)3] (3), is described. The utility of 3 in cross-coupling has been showcased unambiguously, and a large variety of arylboron compounds was trifluoromethylated via [AgIII(aryl)(CF3)3]? intermediates. This work breaks with old stereotypes and misconceptions regarding the inability of Ag to undergo cross-coupling by itself.

A terminal [Ni-OH] complex1, supported by triflamide-functionalized NHC ligands, catalyzes the hydrosilylative reduction of a range of primary amides into primary amines in good to excellent yields under base-free conditions with key functional group tolerance. Catalyst1is also effective for the reduction of a variety of tertiary and secondary amides. In contrast to literature reports, the reactivity of1towards amide reduction follows an inverse trend,i.e., 1° amide > 3° amide > 2° amide. The reaction does not follow a usual dehydration pathway.
Development and Molecular Understanding of a Pd-Catalyzed Cyanation of Aryl Boronic Acids Enabled by High-Throughput Experimentation and Data Analysis

A synthetic method for the palladium-catalyzed cyanation of aryl boronic acids using bench stable and non-toxic N-cyanosuccinimide has been developed. High-throughput experimentation facilitated the screen of 90 different ligands and the resultant statistical data analysis identified that ligand σ-donation, π-acidity and sterics are key drivers that govern yield. Categorization into three ligand groups – monophosphines, bisphosphines and miscellaneous – was performed before the analysis. For the monophosphines, the yield of the reaction increases for strong σ-donating, weak π-accepting ligands, with flexible pendant substituents. For the bisphosphines, the yield predominantly correlates with ligand lability. The applicability of the designed reaction to a wider substrate scope was investigated, showing good functional group tolerance in particular with boronic acids bearing electron-withdrawing substituents. This work outlines the development of a novel reaction, coupled with a fast and efficient workflow to gain understanding of the optimal ligand properties for the design of improved palladium cross-coupling catalysts.

The development of two highly reactive electrophilic trifluoromethylating reagents (trifluoromethyl)(4-nitrophenyl)bis(carbomethoxy)methylide (1g) and (trifluoromethyl)(3-chlorophenyl)bis(carbomethoxy)methylide (1j) through structure-activity study was described. Under mild conditions, reagent 1g reacted with β-ketoesters and silyl enol ethers to give α-trifluoromethylated-β-ketoesters or α-trifluoromethylated ketones in high yields. In addition, reagent 1g could serve as a trifluoromethyl radical for a variety of trifluoromethylative transformations under visible light irradiation, including radical trifluoromethylation of electron-rich indoles and pyrroles and sodium aryl sulfinates as well as trifluoromethylative difunctionalization with styrene derivatives. On the other hand, as a complimentary, under reductive coupling conditions, reagent 1j reacted with a variety of (hetero)aryl iodides for the formation of trifluoromethylated (hetero)arenes.
