Reported here is the redox neutral electrochemical C(sp2)?C(sp3) cross-coupling reaction of bench-stable aryl halides or β-bromostyrene (electrophiles) and benzylic trifluoroborates (nucleophiles) using nonprecious, bench-stable NiCl2?glyme/polypyridine catalysts in an undivided cell configuration under ambient conditions. The broad reaction scope and good yields of the Ni-catalyzed electrochemical coupling reactions were confirmed by 50 examples of aryl/β-styrenyl chloride/bromide and benzylic trifluoroborates. Potential applications were demonstrated by electrosynthesis and late-stage functionalization of pharmaceuticals and natural amino acid modification, and three reactions were run on gram-scale in a flow-cell electrolyzer. The electrochemical C?C cross-coupling reactions proceed through an unconventional radical transmetalation mechanism. This method is highly productive and expected to find wide-spread applications in organic synthesis.

A practical Pd-catalyzed direct dehydroxylative coupling of (hetero)benzylic alcohols with (hetero)arylboronic acids for the constructions of di(hetero)arylmethane derivatives under SO2F2 was described. This new method provided a strategically distinct approach to di(hetero)arylmethane derivatives from readily available and abundant benzylic alcohols under mild condition.

The outcome of the solvent-free benzylation of phenol and 4-substituted phenols (such as 4-cresol and 4-chlorophenol) under MW irradiation was found to depend on the absence or presence of the base (K2CO3) and catalyst (triethylbenzy
Oxidation potential as a measure of the reactivity of anionic nucleophiles. Behaviour of different classes of nucleophiles

Anodic peak potentials for 42 anionic nucleophiles are reported along with the rate constants for the reactions of the anions with benzyl chloride.By comparing these rate constants with those of the reactions of outer-sphere electron-transfer reagents (radical anions), it has been demonstrated that the reactions of the anions with benzyl chloride are typical single-step SN2 reactions as opposed to a two-step process comprising dissociative single electron transfer (SET) to benzyl chloride followed by radical combination.The data suggest that very electron-rich nucleophilic anions with potentials of -1.5 to -2.2 V (and more negative) with respect to the ferrocenium/ferrocene couple might participate in a SET reaction.The 42 anions studied included representatives of four classes of nucleophiles, viz. sulfur-, carbon-, oxygen- and nitrogen-centred anions.The previously observed correlation of rate constants and anodic peak potential was again found for these anions with the most reactive species having the most negative peak potentials.Correlations by class indicate that the sensitivity of rate constants to changes in peak potential is greatest (and equivalent) for the sulfur-, carbon- and oxygen-anions and for representatives with the same peak potential, the rate constants by class follow the order sulfur > carbon > oxygen.The nitrogen nucleophiles show a significantly lower sensitivity of rate constant to changes in peak potential than do the other three classes.

The utility of iodotrimethylsilane has been extended to include the rapid and highly selective reduction of α,α-diaryl alcohols. The reduction of a series of α-hydroxyfuroic acids in near quantitative yield has been demonstrated and the mechanism discussed.
