The transition-metal-free multicomponent coupling of arynes, aromatic tertiary amines, and aldehydes proceeding via the aryl to aryl amino group migration has been demonstrated. This protocol allows rapid access to ortho-functionalized tertiary amines in moderate to good yields. Moreover, activated ketones can also be used as the aldehyde component in the present reaction. The similarity of the aryl-aryl tertiary amino group migration with the Smiles rearrangement is striking.

Chemists often use statistical analysis of reaction data with molecular descriptors to identify structure-reactivity relationships, which can enable prediction and mechanistic understanding. In this study, we developed a broadly applicable and quantitative classification workflow that identifies reactivity cliffs in 11 Ni- and Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling datasets using monodentate phosphine ligands. A distinctive ligand steric descriptor, minimum percent buried volume [%Vbur (min)], is found to divide these datasets into active and inactive regions at a similar threshold value. Organometallic studies demonstrate that this threshold corresponds to the binary outcome of bisligated versus monoligated metal and that %Vbur (min) is a physically meaningful and predictive representation of ligand structure in catalysis.

A double-ligands enabled ruthenium catalyzed C(sp2)?H arylation of dialkyl phosphines is described, which provides a straight access to aryl-substituted dialkyl phosphine ligands. The combination of 1,3-diketone and amino acid ligands is essential for this transformation. An important six-membered cycloruthenium intermediate was successfully isolated and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Mechanistic studies showed that the 1,3-diketone promoted the process of oxidative addition of cycloruthenium intermediate. Some of modified CyJohnPhos ligands exhibited highly catalytic activity in palladium catalyzed C?N bond formation. (Figure presented.).
Synthesis of N-heterocyclic carbene-Pd(II)-5-phenyloxazole complexes and initial studies of their catalytic activity toward the Buchwald-Hartwig amination of aryl chlorides

, (2021/04/19)
Three new N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-Pd(II) complexes using 5-phenyloxazole as the ancillary ligand have been obtained in moderate to good yields by a one-pot reaction of the corresponding imidazolium salts, palladium chloride and 5-phenyloxazole under mild conditions. Initial studies showed that one of the complexes is an efficient catalyst for the Buchwald-Hartwig amination of aryl chlorides with various secondary and primary amines under the varied catalyst loading of 0.01-0.05 mol%, thus it will enrich the chemistry of NHCs and give an alternative catalyst for the coupling of challenging while cost-low aryl chlorides.

Herein, we disclose a highly chemoselective room-temperature deoxygenation method applicable to various functionalized N-heterocyclic N-oxides via visible light-mediated metallaphotoredox catalysis using Hantzsch esters as the sole stoichiometric reductant. Despite the feasibility of catalyst-free conditions, most of these deoxygenations can be completed within a few minutes using only a tiny amount of a catalyst. This technology also allows for multigram-scale reactions even with an extremely low catalyst loading of 0.01 mol %. The scope of this scalable and operationally convenient protocol encompasses a wide range of functional groups, such as amides, carbamates, esters, ketones, nitrile groups, nitro groups, and halogens, which provide access to the corresponding deoxygenated N-heterocycles in good to excellent yields (an average of an 86.8% yield for a total of 45 examples).

We report herein that a borane-trimethylamine complex worked as an efficient reducing agent for the selective methylation and formylation of amines with 1 atm CO2 under metal-free conditions. 6-Amino-2-picoline serves as a highly efficient catalyst for the methylation of various secondary amines, whereas in its absence, the formylation of primary and secondary amines was achieved in high yield with high chemoselectivity. Mechanistic studies suggest that the 6-amino-2-picoline-borane catalytic system operates like an intramolecular frustrated Lewis pair to activate CO2.

We herein describe an efficient, CO2-tuned and highly selective C-O bond cleavage of N-methylated formanilides. With easy-to-handle and commercially available NaBH4 as the reductant, a variety of formanilides could be turned into the desired tertiary amines in moderate to excellent yields. The role of CO2 has been investigated in detail, and the mechanism is proposed on the basis of experiments.

Simple copper salts serve as catalysts to effect C-X bond-forming reactions in some of the most utilized transformations in synthesis, including the oxidative coupling of aryl boronic acids and amines. However, these Chan-Lam coupling reactions have historically relied on chemical oxidants that limit their applicability beyond small-scale synthesis. Despite the success of replacing strong chemical oxidants with electrochemistry for a variety of metal-catalyzed processes, electrooxidative reactions with ligandless copper catalysts are plagued by slow electron-transfer kinetics, irreversible copper plating, and competitive substrate oxidation. Herein, we report the implementation of substoichiometric quantities of redox mediators to address limitations to Cu-catalyzed electrosynthesis. Mechanistic studies reveal that mediators serve multiple roles by (i) rapidly oxidizing low-valent Cu intermediates, (ii) stripping Cu metal from the cathode to regenerate the catalyst and reveal the active Pt surface for proton reduction, and (iii) providing anodic overcharge protection to prevent substrate oxidation. This strategy is applied to Chan-Lam coupling of aryl-, heteroaryl-, and alkylamines with arylboronic acids in the absence of chemical oxidants. Couplings under these electrochemical conditions occur with higher yields and shorter reaction times than conventional reactions in air and provide complementary substrate reactivity.

We report the catalytic activity of two phosphinoimidazole-derived bimetallic palladium complexes in Pd-catalyzed amination reactions. Our studies demonstrate that the starting oxidation state (Pd(I) or Pd(II)) of the dimeric complex has a significant effect on the efficiency of the catalytic reaction. The corresponding Pd(I) complex shows higher reactivity in Buchwald-Hartwig aminations, while the Pd(II) complex is much more reactive in carbonylative amination reactions. These new dimeric palladium complexes provide good to excellent reactivity and yields in the amination reactions tested.
Mesoionic N-heterocyclic olefin catalysed reductive functionalization of CO2for consecutiveN-methylation of amines

, p. 12174 - 12180 (2021/09/28)
A mesoionic N-heterocyclic olefin (mNHO) was introduced as a metal-free catalyst for the reductive functionalization of CO2leading to consecutive doubleN-methylation of primary amines in the presence of 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN). A wide range of secondary amines and primary amines were successfully methylated under mild conditions. The catalyst sustained over six successive cycles ofN-methylation of secondary amines without compromising its activity, which encouraged us to check its efficacy towards doubleN-methylation of primary amines. Moreover, this method was utilized for the synthesis of two commercially available drug molecules. A detailed mechanistic cycle was proposed by performing a series of control reactions along with the successful characterisation of active catalytic intermediates either by single-crystal X-ray study or by NMR spectroscopic studies in association with DFT calculations.
