Although the olefin metathesis reaction is a well-known and powerful strategy to get alkenes, this reaction remained highly challenging with fluororalkenes, especially the Cross-Metathesis (CM) process. Our thought was to find an easy accessible, convenient, reactive and post-functionalizable source of fluoroalkene, that we found as the methyl 2-fluoroacrylate. We reported herein the efficient ruthenium-catalyzed CM reaction of various terminal and internal alkenes with methyl 2-fluoroacrylate giving access, for the first time, to trisubstituted fluoroalkenes stereoselectively. Unprecedent TON for CM involving fluoroalkene, up to 175, have been obtained and the reaction proved to be tolerant and effective with a large range of olefin partners giving fair to high yields in metathesis products.

An efficient CuPd nanoparticle (NP) catalyst (3 nm CuPd NPs deposited on carbon support) is designed for catalyzing electrochemical allylic alkylation in water/isopropanol (1:1 v/v) and 0.2 m KHCO3 solution at room temperature. The Pd catalysis was Pd/Cu composition-dependent, and CuPd NPs with a Pd/Cu ratio close to one are the most efficient catalyst for the selective cross-coupling of alkyl halides and allylic halides to form C?C hydrocarbons with product yields reaching up to 99 %. This NP-catalyzed electrochemical allylic alkylation expands the synthetic scope of cross-coupling reactions and can be further extended to other organic reaction systems for developing green chemistry electrosynthesis methods.

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.
Probing Intramolecular Electron Transfer in Redox Tag Processes

Herein, we show that redox tag-guided intermolecular formal [2 + 2] cycloaddition can be used as a probe to investigate intramolecular single-electron transfer (SET) mechanisms. The efficacy of intramolecular SET can be evaluated in association with concomitant carbon-carbon bond formation and/or cleavage, leading to cycloaddition or cross-metathesis. Experimental and theoretical results suggest that the intramolecular SET is under both thermodynamic and kinetic control and can also occur through bonds, not only through space.

Palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation of nonstabilized carbon nucleophiles is difficult and remains a major challenge. Reported here is a highly chemo- and regioselective direct palladium-catalyzed C-allylation of hydrazones, generated from carbonyls, as a source of umpolung unstabilized alkyl carbanions and surrogates of alkyl organometallic reagents. Contrary to classical allylation techniques, this umpolung reaction utilizes hydrazones prepared not only from aryl aldehydes but also from alkyl aldehydes and ketones as renewable feedstocks. This strategy complements the palladium-catalyzed coupling of unstabilized nucleophiles with allylic electrophiles by providing an efficient and selective catalytic alternative to the traditional use of highly reactive alkyl organometallic reagents.

A novel and practical reaction for the direct intramolecular oxidative coupling of butenylated arenes is reported. With the catalysis of Pd(OAc)2, reactions of various butenylated arenes and carboxylic acids with Selectfluor reagent in CH3CN solution afforded the corresponding monocarboxylation/cyclization products in good yields under mild conditions. This research demonstrated an economic method with the synthesis of 2-tetralyl carboxylic esters, a valuable class of bioactive compounds.

High-yielding cross-coupling reactions of various combinations of aryl chlorides and alkyl Grignard reagents have been developed by using an iron(III) fluoride/1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene (SIPr) catalyst composite. The iron(III) fluoride/SIPr-catalyzed aryl-alkyl coupling demonstrates unprecedented scope for both aryl chlorides and alkyl Grignard reagents, thus enabling the first efficient coupling of electron-rich (deactivated) aryl chlorides with alkyl Grignard reagents without β-hydrogens. The present reaction is also effective for diverse alkyl Grignard reagents such as (trimethylsilyl)methyl, primary, and secondary alkyl Grignard reagents.
Terminal olefins to linear α,β-unsaturated ketones: Pd(II)/hypervalent iodine co-catalyzed wacker oxidation-dehydrogenation
Bigi, Marinus A.,White, M. Christina
supporting information, p. 7831 - 7834 (2013/07/19)
Development of a mild (35 C, no Bronsted acids) tandem Wacker oxidation-dehydrogenation of terminal olefins was accomplished using palladium(II) and hypervalent iodine co-catalysis. The reaction affords linear aryl and alkyl α,β-unsaturated ketones directly from readily available terminal olefins in good yields (average 75% per step) with excellent functional group tolerance and chemo- and stereoselectivities. The hypervalent iodine co-catalyst was found to be critical for dehydrogenation but was not effective as a stoichiometric oxidant.
Mechanism and selectivity in nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of aryl halides with alkyl halides
Biswas, Soumik,Weix, Daniel J.
, p. 16192 - 16197 (2013/11/19)
The direct cross-coupling of two different electrophiles, such as an aryl halide with an alkyl halide, offers many advantages over conventional cross-coupling methods that require a carbon nucleophile. Despite its promise as a versatile synthetic strategy, a limited understanding of the mechanism and origin of cross selectivity has hindered progress in reaction development and design. Herein, we shed light on the mechanism for the nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of aryl halides with alkyl halides and demonstrate that the selectivity arises from an unusual catalytic cycle that combines both polar and radical steps to form the new C-C bond.
Catalytic alkylation of aryl Grignard reagents by iron(iii) amine-bis(phenolate) complexes

Reaction of n-propylamino-N,N-bis(2-methylene-4-tert-butyl-6-methylphenol), H2L1, n-propylamino-N,N-bis(2-methylene-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol), H2L2, and benzylamino-N,N-bis(2-methylene-4-tert-butyl-6- methylphenol), H2L3, with anhydrous ferric chloride in the presence of base yields the products, [FeL1(μ-Cl)]2 (1), [FeL2(μ-Cl)]2 (2) and [FeL3(μ-Cl)]2 (3). In the solid state, these complexes exist as chloride-bridged dimers giving distorted trigonal bipyramidal iron(iii) ions. Reaction of H2L1 with FeBr 3, however, results in the formation of a tetrahedral iron(iii) complex possessing two bromide ligands. The amine-bis(phenolate) ligand is bidentate in this complex and bonds to the iron(iii) ion via the phenolate O-donors. The central amine donor is protonated, resulting in a quaternized ammonium fragment and the iron(iii) centre possesses a negative formal charge. As a result, this complex is zwitterionic and formulated as FeBr2L1H (4). Complex 1 is an air-stable, non-hygroscopic, single-component catalyst for C-C cross-coupling of aryl Grignard reagents with primary and secondary alkyl halides, including chlorides. Good to excellent yields of cross-coupled products are obtained in diethyl ether at room temperature. In some cases where low yields are obtained under these conditions, the use of microwave-assisted heating of the reaction mixture can improve yields. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2011.
