The cross-coupling of aryl esters has emerged as a powerful platform for the functionalization of otherwise inert acyl C-O bonds in chemical synthesis and catalysis. Herein, we report a combined experimental and computational study on the acyl Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of aryl esters mediated by well-defined, air- and moisture-stable Pd(ii)-NHC precatalysts [Pd(NHC)(μ-Cl)Cl]2. We present a comprehensive evaluation of [Pd(NHC)(μ-Cl)Cl]2 precatalysts and compare them with the present state-of-the-art [(Pd(NHC)allyl] precatalysts bearing allyl-type throw-away ligands. Most importantly, the study reveals [Pd(NHC)(μ-Cl)Cl]2 as the most reactive precatalysts discovered to date in this reactivity manifold. The unique synthetic utility of this unconventional O-C(O) cross-coupling is highlighted in the late-stage functionalization of pharmaceuticals and sequential chemoselective cross-coupling, providing access to valuable ketone products by a catalytic mechanism involving Pd insertion into the aryl ester bond. Furthermore, we present a comprehensive study of the catalytic cycle by DFT methods. Considering the clear advantages of [Pd(NHC)(μ-Cl)Cl]2 precatalysts on several levels, including facile one-pot synthesis, superior atom-economic profile to all other Pd(ii)-NHC catalysts, and versatile reactivity, these should be considered as the 'first-choice' catalysts for all routine applications in ester O-C(O) bond activation.

The carbonyl compounds, synthesized by the oxidative cleavage of their corresponding olefins, are of great significance in organic synthesis, especially aryl ketones. We have developed a gentle and effective protocol, using acid red 94 as the organic metal-free photocatalyst, O2 as the oxidant, and water as the solvent. Under visible light irradiation, aryl ketone derivatives were obtained in moderate to excellent yields, showing good economic and environmental advantages.

Herein, a practical and sustainable method for the synthesis of aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids from an inexpensive olefinic feedstock is described. This transformation features very sustainable and mild conditions and utilizes commercially available and inexpensive tetrahydrofuran as the additive, molecular oxygen as the sole oxidant and water as the solvent. A wide range of substituted alkenes were found to be compatible, providing the corresponding carbonyl compounds in moderate-to-good yields. The control experiments demonstrated that a radical mechanism is responsible for the oxidation reaction.

, p. 5016 - 5025 (2021/04/12)
In this study, 2,3-dicyanopyrazino phenanthrene (DCPP), a commodity chemical that can be prepared at an industrial scale, was used as a photocatalyst in lieu of Ru or Ir complexes in C-X (X = C, N, and O) bond-forming reactions under visible-light irradiation. In these reactions, [DCPP]n aggregates were formed in situ through physical π-πstacking of DCPP monomers in organic solvents. These aggregates exhibited excellent photo- and electrochemical properties, including a visible light response (430 nm), long excited-state lifetime (19.3 μs), high excited-state reduction potential (Ered([DCPP]n*/[DCPP]n·-) = +2.10 V vs SCE), and good reduction stability. The applications of [DCPP]n aggregates as a versatile visible-light photocatalyst were demonstrated in decarboxylative C-C cross-coupling, amidation, and esterification reactions.

N-Acylglutarimides and arylsiloxanes reacted in the presence of Pd(OAc)2/PCy3, Et3N·3HF, and LiOAc to provide the corresponding arylketones in good yields. Aryl-, vinyl-, and alkyl-substituted N-acylglutarimides showed good activity in the coupling reactions of arylsiloxanes. The reaction had a broad substrate scope and showed good functional group tolerance. N-Benzoylsuccinimide and N-protected N-phenylbenzamides showed good activities in coupling reactions with phenylsiloxane. The employment of CuF2 as an activor afforded the decarbonylative products at 160 °C.

The development of an efficient system for selective oxidation of organic compounds to generate more valuable compounds with molecular oxygen is a significant challenge in industrial chemistry. Bioinspired by the ability of naturally occurring perylenequinonoid pigments (PQPs) to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon photoirradiation, here we report that cercosporin, one of the perylenequinonoid pigments, can function as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly photocatalyst for a wide range of selective oxidations, including benzylic C-H bonds to carbonyls, amines to aldehydes, and sulfides to sulfoxides. All of the representative reactions proceeded smoothly with high efficiency under mild conditions. Owing to the use of inexpensive metal-free visible light-driven photocatalyst produced from microbial fermentation with cheap glucose as the starting material and the ease of handling, we expect that this developed method will be particularly attractive for many more applications in synthetic transformation.

, p. 17266 - 17272 (2019/06/24)
A site-selective supported palladium nanoparticle catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction with heteroaryl esters and arylboronic acids as coupling partners was developed. This methodology provides a heterogeneous catalytic route for aryl ketone formation via C(acyl)-O bond activation of esters by successful suppression of the undesired decarbonylation phenomenon. The catalyst can be reused and shows high activity after eight cycles. The XPS analysis of the catalyst before and after the reaction suggested that the reaction might be performed via a Pd0/PdII catalytic cycle that began with Pd0.

A new method for the synthesis of diaryl and heterodiaryl ketones has been established based on the palladium-catalyzed carbonylative Suzuki coupling approach with sub-stoichiometric Mo(CO)6 as CO source. Using 0.5 mol% of Pd(TFA)2 as catalyst, 0.5 equivalent of Mo(CO)6 as solid carbonyl reagent and 3 equivalent of K3PO4 as base, a wide range of functionalized (hetero)aryl iodides and (hetero)aryl boronic acids could smoothly proceed the carbonylative cross-coupling reaction in aqueous CH3CN at 50 °C, affording the corresponding ketones in good to excellent yields. The newly developed method was easy to operate under mild conditions with high efficiency. (Figure presented.).

Unprecedented, high yielding, transition-metal-free carbonylative Suzuki-Miyaura reactions of aryl iodides with arylboronic acids using N-formylsaccharin as CO surrogate have been developed. Notably, this general protocol was adapted to the synthesis of the triglyceride and cholesterol regulator drug, fenofibrate, and carbon-13 labeled biaryl ketone. (Figure presented.).

An improved acylative cross-coupling of various N-methyl-N-tosyl amides with diarylborinic acids for synthesis of aryl ketones is developed. In most cases, aryl ketones could be obtained in excellent yields by using 1 mol% 2,6-diisopropylphenylimidazolylidene and 3-chloropyridine co-supported palladium chloride as catalyst in the presence of 3 equiv. K2CO3 as base in refluxing THF. The readily prepared and cost-effective substrates, N-methyl-N-tosylamides and diarylborinic acids, and the commercially available catalyst system promise a practical and efficient access to aryl ketones.
