A bisoxazoline-derived NHC known as IBiox-6 reacted smoothly with Ni[P(OEt)3]2Br2 and Ni(PPh3)2Br2 to give the respective heteroleptic Ni(II) complexes Ni(IBiox-6)[P(OEt)3]Br2 (1) and Ni(IBiox-6)(PPh3)Br2 (2) in yields of 60% and 71%. Their crystal structures were characterized to reveal a rare cis disposition of the IBiox-6 ligand to the phosphite ligand in 1, while 2 possessed the more common trans configuration. Both complexes catalyzed the cross-electrophile coupling of benzyl chlorides with aryl chlorides and fluorides in the presence of Mg turnings at 50 °C via a "real one-pot"procedure, featuring no requirement for temperature variation or portionwise addition of any coupling partner. In particular, complex 1 showed a better balance between the catalytic activity and selectivity. The scope of the procedure catalyzed by 1 and Mg turnings was investigated, providing a highly selective, simple, and practical approach to the synthesis of diarylmethanes with high steric hindrance and various functional groups, including oligo-diarylmethane with asymmetric structures.

Novel heteroleptic Ni (II) complexes bearing a highly hindered yet flexible IPr* ligand, Ni (IPr*)(PPh3)Br2 (1) and Ni (IPr*)(PCy3)Br2 (2) (IPr* = 1,3-bis(2,6-bis (diphenylmethyl)-4-methylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene), were easily prepared in 78percent and 89percent yield, respectively. Both were characterized by elemental analysis and NMR spectroscopy, and 1 was subjected to X-ray crystallography. Compared with 2 and its analogue bearing a less sterically demanding IPr ligand (IPr = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene), complex 1 exhibited superior catalytic activity in the magnesium-mediated reductive coupling of benzyl chlorides with aryl chlorides, featuring outstanding tolerance of both coupling partners with steric demand. This study discloses a ligand-facilitated reductive coupling of benzyl chlorides with aryl chlorides, which provides a new and practical synthetic tool for the synthesis of diarylmethanes.

A catalytic, metal-free intramolecular rearrangement of benzyl phenyl ethers using nitrosonium salt as a catalyst is described. The optimized reaction conditions enabled a catalytic and metal-free Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction with benzylic alcohols, producing water as the stoichiometric byproduct. A comprehensive scope (>50 examples) for both approaches and application in drug synthesis were demonstrated. Mechanistic studies suggest a Lewis acid-based mechanism for the metal-free Friedel-Crafts reaction.

The Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling (SMC) reactions of several heteroaryl chlorides, benzyl chlorides, and aryl acid chlorides with (hetero)arylboron reagents have been investigated in the presence of [Pd(HL1)(PPh3)Cl2] (I) [HL1 = 3-[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1-imidazolio]-2-quinoxalinide] as catalyst and K2CO3 as base in neat water. The synthesis of the heterocycle-containing biaryls required the addition of 2 mol-% of a phosphine ligand (PPh3 or X-Phos). A combination of more than 115 substrates were screened and it was found that I is a versatile catalyst that can produce heterocycle-containing biaryls, diarylmethanes, and benzophenones in moderate-to-excellent yields.
