Herein, nickel-catalyzed synthesis of polyarylcarbazole through sequential C-H bond activations has been described. Regioselective indole C2/C3 functionalization has been achieved in the presence of indole C7-H, which is quite challenging. In addition, this approach also gives easy access to building a heteropolycyclic motif through C6/C7 C-H functionalization of indoline. This methodology is not limited to aromatic internal alkynes as coupling partners; aliphatic alkynes have also shown good tolerance. Notably, during the optimization the catalytic enhancement with sodium iodide as an additive has been observed. We have also studied the photophysical properties of these highly conjugated molecules.
Iodonium Cation-Pool Electrolysis for the Three-Component Synthesis of 1,3-Oxazoles
Sattler, Lars E.,Hilt, Gerhard
, p. 605 - 608 (2020/12/07)
The synthesis of 1,3-oxazoles from symmetrical and unsymmetrical alkynes was realized by an iodonium cation-pool electrolysis of I2 in acetonitrile with a well-defined water content. Mechanistic investigations suggest that the alkyne reacts with the acetonitrile-stabilized I+ ions, followed by a Ritter-type reaction of the solvent to a nitrilium ion, which is then attacked by water. The ring closure to the 1,3-oxazoles released molecular iodine, which was visible by the naked eye. Also, some unsymmetrical internal alkynes were tested and a regioselective formation of a single isomer was determined by two-dimensional NMR experiments.

A new family of structurally well-defined molybdenum alkylidyne catalysts for alkyne metathesis, which is distinguished by a tripodal trisilanolate ligand architecture, is presented. Complexes of type 1 combine the virtues of previous generations of silanolate-based catalysts with a significantly improved functional group tolerance. They are easy to prepare on scale; the modularity of the ligand synthesis allows the steric and electronic properties to be fine-tuned and hence the application profile of the catalysts to be optimized. This opportunity is manifested in the development of catalyst 1f, which is as reactive as the best ancestors but exhibits an unrivaled scope. The new catalysts work well in the presence of unprotected alcohols and various other protic groups. The chelate effect entails even a certain stability toward water, which marks a big leap forward in metal alkylidyne chemistry in general. At the same time, they tolerate many donor sites, including basic nitrogen and numerous heterocycles. This aspect is substantiated by applications to polyfunctional (natural) products. A combined spectroscopic, crystallographic, and computational study provides insights into structure and electronic character of complexes of type 1. Particularly informative are a density functional theory (DFT)-based chemical shift tensor analysis of the alkylidyne carbon atom and 95Mo NMR spectroscopy; this analytical tool had been rarely used in organometallic chemistry before but turns out to be a sensitive probe that deserves more attention. The data show that the podand ligands render a Mo-alkylidyne a priori more electrophilic than analogous monodentate triarylsilanols; proper ligand tuning, however, allows the Lewis acidity as well as the steric demand about the central atom to be adjusted to the point that excellent performance of the catalyst is ensured.
