LiCl-Accelerated multimetallic cross-coupling of aryl chlorides with aryl triflates

While the synthesis of biaryls has advanced rapidly in the past decades, cross-Ullman couplings of aryl chlorides, the most abundant aryl electrophiles, have remained elusive. Reported here is the first general cross-Ullman coupling of aryl chlorides with aryl triflates. The selectivity challenge associated with coupling an inert electrophile with a reactive one is overcome using a multimetallic strategy with the appropriate choice of additive. Studies demonstrate that LiCl is essential for effective cross-coupling by accelerating the reduction of Ni(II) to Ni(0) and counteracting autoinhibition of reduction at Zn(0) by Zn(II) salts. The modified conditions tolerate a variety of functional groups on either coupling partner (42 examples), and examples include a three-step synthesis of flurbiprofen.

Metal-free directed ortho C-H iodination: Synthesis of 2'-iodobiaryl-2- carbonitriles

Metal-free directed ortho C-H iodination of biaryl-2-carbonitriles was developed. A series of 2'-iodobiaryl-2-carbonitriles were synthesized from substituted biphenylcarbonitriles and naphthylbenzonitriles in reasonably good yields by using bis(pyridine)iodonium(I) tetrafluoroborate (IPy 2BF4, Barluenga's reagent) and HBF4· OEt2. The biaryl-2-carbonitriles are useful precursors for the synthesis of benzocyclic ketones. Metal-free directed ortho C-H iodination of biaryl-2-carbonitriles is efficiently performed in good yields by using bis(pyridine)iodonium(I) tetrafluoroborate (IPy2BF4, Barluenga's reagent) and HBF4·OEt2.

Palladium-catalyzed desulfitative arylation by C-O bond cleavage of aryl triflates with sodium arylsulfinates

An efficient Pd-catalyzed desulfitative coupling reaction of sodium arylsulfinates as arylation reagents by C-O bond cleavage of aryl triflates was developed. With only 2 mol % of Pd(OAc)2 as catalyst and XPhos as ligand, the reaction proceeded well for a range of substrates.

Dichloro-bis(aminophosphine) complexes of palladium: Highly convenient, reliable and extremely active suzuki-miyaura catalysts with excellent functional group tolerance

Dichloro-bis(aminophosphine) complexes are stable depot forms of palladium nanoparticles and have proved to be excellent SuzukiMiyaura catalysts. Simple modifications of the ligand (and/or the addition of water to the reaction mixture) have allowed their formation to be controlled. Dichlorobis[1- (dicyclohexylphosphany1)piperidine]palladium (3), the most active catalyst of the investigated systems, is a highly convenient, reliable, and extremely active Suzuki catalyst with excellent functional group tolerance that enables the quantitative coupling of a wide variety of activated, nonactivated, and deactivated and/or sterically hindered functionalized and heterocyclic aryl and benzyl bromides with only a slight excess (1.1-1.2 equiv) of arylboronic acid at 80°C in the presence of 0.2 mol % of the catalyst in technical grade toluene in flasks open to the air. Conversions of >95% were generally achieved within only a few minutes. The reaction protocol presented herein is universally applicable. Side-products have only rarely been detected. The catalytic activities of the aminophosphine-based systems were found to be dramatically improved compared with their phosphine analogue as a result of significantly faster palladium nanoparticle formation. The decomposition products of the catalysts are dicyclohexylphosphinate, cyclohexylphosphonate, and phosphate, which can easily be separated from the coupling products, a great advantage when compared with non-water-soluble phosphine-based systems.

The 1,3-diaminobenzene-derived aminophosphine palladium pincer complex {C6H3[NHP(piperidinyl)2]2Pd(Cl)} - A highly active Suzuki-Miyaura catalyst with excellent functional group tolerance

The rapidly prepared 1,3-diaminobenzenederived aminophosphine pincer complex {C6H3 [NHP(piperidinyl)2] 2Pd(Cl)} (1) is an effective Suzuki catalyst with excellent functional group tolerance. Side-product formations, such as homocoupling, debromation or protodeboration have only rarely been detected and if so, were in all cases below the 5% level. The presented reaction protocol is universally applicable. Experimental observations indicate that palladium nanoparticles are the catalytically active form of 1.

Copper-catalyzed synthesis of phenanthridine derivatives under an oxygen atmosphere starting from biaryl-2-carbonitriles and grignard reagents

A copper-catalyzed synthesis of phenanthridine derivatives was developed starting from biaryl-2-carbonitriles and Grignard reagents. The present transformation is carried out by a sequence of nucleophilic addition of Grignard reagents to biaryl-2-carbonitriles to form N-H imines and their Cu-catalyzed C-N bond formation on the aromatic C-H bond, where molecular oxygen is a prerequisite to achieve the catalytic process.
