Although cross-coupling reactions of amides by selective N?C cleavage are one of the most powerful and burgeoning areas in organic synthesis due to the ubiquity of amide bonds, the development of mechanochemical, solid-state methods remains a major challe

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.

A simple, and practical oxidative scission of aromatic olefins to carbonyl compounds using O2as the sole oxidant with poly(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether as a benign solvent has been developed. A wide range of monosubstituted,gem-disubstituted, 1,2-disubstituted, trisubstituted and tetrasubstituted aromatic olefins was successfully converted into the corresponding aldehydes and ketones in excellent yields even with gram-scale reaction. Some control experiments were also conducted to support a possible reaction pathway.

N-Acyl-hydantoins have emerged as novel acyl-transfer reagents for the synthesis of ketones via selective N-C(O) cleavage. Herein, we report two new protocols for the cross-coupling of N-acyl-5,5-dimethylhydantoins using versatile and readily accessible Pd-PEPPSI or Pd/phosphine catalysts. The acyl Suzuki reactions afford biaryl ketones in good to excellent yields under operationally simple conditions using commercially available, bench- A nd air-stable twisted N-acyl-hydantoins as acyl donors. The method complements and expands on the previous protocol for the cross-coupling of N-acyl-hydantoins (Luo, Z.et al. Org. Process Res. Dev. 2018, 22, 1188).

A versatile method for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of amides using highly active, well-defined, and air-stable Pd?phosphine precatalysts is reported. Most notably, the method represents the first example of using practical and operationally-simple Pd(II)?phosphine precatalysts in the emerging amide bond cross-coupling manifold. The reactions are efficient at 0.10 mol% loading, furnishing biaryl ketones with high chemoselectivity for N?C(O) bond cleavage. This versatile method enables for the first time to achieve Pd?phosphine-catalyzed cross-coupling of amides at ppm loading. This C?N cross-coupling can be used to efficiently furnish pharmaceutical intermediates by orthogonal Pd-catalyzed cross-couplings. We fully expect that operationally-simple [(PR3)2Pd(II)X2] precatalysts as effective triggers for N?C(O) cross-coupling will be of broad synthetic and catalytic interest. (Figure presented.).

, p. 4703 - 4709 (2020/06/17)
The development of new amide precursors for selective, catalytic activation of carbon-nitrogen bonds in amides is a fundamental objective of this emerging reactivity manifold. We report the palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of N-acylcarbazoles and N-acylindoles with arylboronic acids by a highly selective N-C(O) cleavage. The key amide bond ground-state destabilization stems from Nlp to Ar conjugation and enables us for the first time to achieve reactivity similar to that for N-acylsulfonamide and N-acylcarbamate activation in simple anilides.

, p. 4078 - 4083 (2020/07/30)
A palladium-catalyzed external-CO-free carbonylative Hiyama-Denmark cross-coupling reaction is presented. The introduction of silylcarboxylic acids as bifunctional reagents (CO and nucleophile source) avoids the need for external gaseous CO and a silylarene coupling partner. The transformation features high functional group tolerance and it is successful with electron-rich, -neutral, and -poor aryl iodides. Stoichiometric studies and control experiments provide insight into the reaction mechanism and support the hypothesized dual role of silylcarboxylic acids. (Figure presented.).

A highly efficient method for chemoselective synthesis of biaryl ketones by arylation of Weinreb amides (N-methoxy-N-methylamides) with functionalized Grignard reagents is reported. This protocol offers rapid entry to functionalized biaryl ketones after Mg/halide exchange with i-PrMgCl·LiCl under operationally-simple and practical reaction conditions. The scope of the method is highlighted in >40 examples, including bioactive compounds and pharmaceutical derivatives. Collectively, this transition-metal-free approach offers a major advantage over the recently established cross-coupling of amides by oxidative addition of N-C(O) bonds. Considering the utility of amide acylation reactions in modern synthesis, we expect that this method will be of broad interest.

The direct transition-metal-free acylation of amides with functionalized Grignard reagents by highly chemoselective N?C cleavage under kinetic control has been accomplished. The method offers rapid and convergent access to functionalized biaryl ketones through transient tetrahedral intermediates. The direct access to functionalized Grignard reagents by in situ halogen–magnesium exchange promoted by the versatile turbo-Grignard reagent (iPrMgCl?LiCl) permits excellent substrate scope with respect to both the amide and Grignard coupling partners. These reactions enable facile, operationally simple and chemoselective access to tetrahedral intermediates from amides under significantly milder conditions than chelation-controlled intermediates. This novel direct two-component coupling sets the stage for using amides as acylating reagents in an alternative paradigm to the metal-chelated approach, acyl metals and Weinreb amides.

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.).
