A highly chemoselective method is reported for the aroylation of simple diarylmethane derivatives via direct acyl C–C cleavage with 2-acyl-imidazolium salts under transition metal-free conditions. This represents a straightforward way to access a variety of sterically and electronically diverse 1,2,2-triarylethanones, a class of compounds with biological activities and various applications.

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.

A nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling to construct the C(sp2)-C(sp3) bond was developed from two sustainable biomass-based feedstocks: phenol derivatives with umpolung aldehydes. This strategy features the in situ generation of moisture/air-stable hydrazones from naturally abundant aldehydes, which act as alkyl nucleophiles under catalysis to couple with readily available phenol derivatives. The avoidance of using both halides as the electrophiles and organometallic or organoboron reagents (also derived from halides) as the nucleophiles makes this method more sustainable. Water tolerance, great functional group (ketone, ester, free amine, amide, etc.) compatibility, and late-stage elaboration of complex biological molecules exemplified its practicability and unique chemoselectivity over organometallic reagents.

Benzylic C-H arylation of azaarylmethanes with aryl sulfides has been developed by using a Pd-NHC catalyst and an amide base. Various azaarylmethanes and aryl sulfides were involved in the reaction to afford the corresponding diarylmethanes in good to excellent yields. Moreover, triarylmethane synthesis was accomplished through iterative arylations of 2- or 4-methylpyridine with two different aryl sulfides.

, p. 7705 - 7708 (2017/06/20)
A Cu-catalyzed method has been identified for selective oxidative arylation of benzylic C-H bonds with arylboronic esters. The resulting 1,1-diarylalkanes are accessed directly from inexpensive alkylarenes containing primary and secondary benzylic C-H bonds, such as toluene or ethylbenzene. All catalyst components are commercially available at low cost, and the arylboronic esters are either commercially available or easily accessible from the commercially available boronic acids. The potential utility of these methods in medicinal chemistry applications is highlighted.

, p. 624 - 632 (2017/04/26)
An efficient stannylation process with N-tosylhydrazones or directly with carbonyl compounds has been developed. A series of functionalized benzyl- and alkyltributylstannanes can be synthesized in moderate to good yields under transition-metal-free conditions. Tandem transformations involving stannylation/Stille cross-coupling reaction have been carried out without purification of the benzyltributylstannane intermediates to afford a series of diarylmethane derivatives.

Xia, Yamu,Hu, Fangdong,Xia, Ying,Liu, Zhenxing,Ye, Fei,Zhang, Yan,Wang, Jianbo
, p. 1073 - 1086 (2017/02/24)
A palladium-catalyzed reductive coupling between N-tosylhydrazones and aryl bromides has been developed. The reaction provides an efficient method for the synthesis of diarylmethanes and triarylmethanes via the formation of C(sp2)-C(sp3) single bonds. This new methodology for the synthesis of diarylmethanes and triarylmethanes is featured by the ready availability of the starting materials, mild reaction conditions, and the tolerance of wide range of functional groups. The reaction follows a pathway including palladium carbene formation, migratory insertion, and reduction of the alkylpalladium(II) intermediate.
Au-complex containing phosphino and imidazolyl moieties as a bi-functional catalyst for one-pot synthesis of pyridine derivatives
Yang, Da,Liu, Huan,Wang, Dong-Liang,Lu, Yong,Zhao, Xiao-Li,Liu, Ye
, p. 323 - 330 (2016/09/23)
The complex of Au-L1 containing imidazolyl ring and the phosphine-ligated-Au moiety was synthesized and applied as the efficient bi-functional catalyst for the one-pot sequential condensation/annulation reaction for the synthesis of pyridine derivatives. It was found that, as for Au-L1, the involved imidazolyl group acted as a Lewis base to catalyze the condensation of carbonyl compounds with propargylamine to form the imino intermediate, and the involved Au+-complex species with alkynophilicity corresponded to the subsequent activation of imino-tailed alkynyl to afford dehydropyridine intermediate. The latter proceeded auto-oxidation reaction to afford the pyridine derivatives. The observed sequential catalysis over Au-L1 proved more efficient than that over the mechanical mixtures of the Au-complex (Au-L2) and N-methylimidazole, because the free N-methylimidazole as an N-containing donor competed with the alkyne substrate to coordinate to Au-center. Moreover, Au-L1 exhibited good generality to a wide range of the substrates for the synthesis of 2,3-fused pyridine derivatives and 2-aryl(heteroaryl)-substituted pyridines.

A novel and efficient method for the synthesis of 3-arylpyridines from allylamine/propanediamine and aldehydes by palladium/copper-catalyzed oxidative tandem cyclization has been developed. With this reaction, a series of desired 3-arylpyridines was synthesized in moderate yields via C-C/C-N bond formation and 6-endo/exo-trig cyclization.
Alternative approach toward the generation of benzylic zinc reagent: Direct oxidative addition of active zinc into the carbon-oxygen bond of benzyl mesylates
Jung, Hye-Soo,Kim, Seung-Hoi
, p. 666 - 670 (2015/03/14)
The use of highly active zinc, prepared by the Rieke method, for the direct preparation of benzylic zinc mesylate was investigated. The oxidative addition of highly active zinc to benzyl mesylate was easily completed under mild conditions. The resulting benzylic zinc mesylates were employed in subsequent cross-coupling reactions with a broad range of electrophiles, and the formation of the corresponding products was successful.
