Mixed Alkyl/Aryl Diphos Ligands for Iron-Catalyzed Negishi and Kumada Cross Coupling Towards the Synthesis of Diarylmethane

Mixed alkyl/aryl diphos ligands have been prepared and their application in iron-catalyzed cross coupling of benzylic chlorides with diaryl zinc (Negishi) or aryl Grignard reagents (Kumada) towards the synthesis of diarylmethane has been evaluated. The iron?diphos catalytic system exhibited the enhanced activity and selectivity in the two coupling reactions. The electron-rich mixed PPh2/PCy2 ligands outperformed their symmetrical PPh2 congeners, and led to decreased homocoupling byproduct formation. It indicates that the electronic effect of the ligands plays an important role in the catalytic performance. The Fe catalyst supported by L8 bearing an electron-rich PCy2 substituent and a sterically demanding tert-butyl on ethene backbone exhibited the best catalytic performance and good functional group tolerance in the two cross coupling reactions.

Dual Nickel- And Photoredox-Catalyzed Reductive Cross-Coupling of Aryl Halides with Dichloromethane via a Radical Process

The first catalytic strategy to harness a new chloromethane radical from dichloromethane under dual Ni/photoredox catalytic conditions has been developed. Compared with traditional two-electron reductive process associated with metallic reductants, this method via a single-electron approach can proceed under exceptionally mild conditions (visible light, ambient temperature, no strong base) and exhibits complementary reactivity patterns. It affords a broad scope of many functional groups, including alkenyl, which suffers cyclopropanation in previous routes. The diarylmethane-d2 compounds can be readily available with this transformation.

Super electron donor-mediated reductive desulfurization reactions

The desulfurization of thioacetals and thioethers by a pyridine-derived electron donor is described. This methodology provides efficient access to the reduced products in high yields and does not require the use of transition-metals, elemental alkali-metals, or hydrogen atom donors.
