A Cu-catalysed borylation of aryl alkyl sulfones was developed for the high yield synthesis of versatile arylboronic esters using a readily prepared NHC-Cu catalyst. In addition, the selective cleavage of either alkyl(C)-sulfonyl or aryl(C)-sulfonyl bonds

In ample variety of transformations, the presence of silver as an additive or co-catalyst is believed to be innocuous for the efficiency of the operating metal catalyst. Even though Ag additives are required often as coupling partners, oxidants or halide scavengers, its role as a catalytically competent species is widely neglected in cross-coupling reactions. Most likely, this is due to the erroneously assumed incapacity of Ag to undergo 2e? redox steps. Definite proof is herein provided for the required elementary steps to accomplish the oxidative trifluoromethylation of arenes through AgI/AgIII redox catalysis (i. e. CEL coupling), namely: i) easy AgI/AgIII 2e? oxidation mediated by air; ii) bpy/phen ligation to AgIII; iii) boron-to-AgIII aryl transfer; and iv) ulterior reductive elimination of benzotrifluorides from an [aryl-AgIII-CF3] fragment. More precisely, an ultimate entry and full characterization of organosilver(III) compounds [K]+[AgIII(CF3)4]? (K-1), [(bpy)AgIII(CF3)3] (2) and [(phen)AgIII(CF3)3] (3), is described. The utility of 3 in cross-coupling has been showcased unambiguously, and a large variety of arylboron compounds was trifluoromethylated via [AgIII(aryl)(CF3)3]? intermediates. This work breaks with old stereotypes and misconceptions regarding the inability of Ag to undergo cross-coupling by itself.

The saturated trihydride IrH3{κ3-P,O,P-[xant(PiPr2)2]} (1; xant(PiPr2)2=9,9-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diisopropylphosphino)xanthene) activates the B?H bond of two molecules of pinacolborane (HBpin) to give H2, the hydride-boryl derivatives IrH2(Bpin){κ3-P,O,P-[xant(PiPr2)2]} (2) and IrH(Bpin)2{κ3-P,O,P-[xant(PiPr2)2]} (3) in a sequential manner. Complex 3 activates a C?H bond of two molecules of benzene to form PhBpin and regenerates 2 and 1, also in a sequential manner. Thus, complexes 1, 2, and 3 define two cycles for the catalytic direct C?H borylation of arenes with HBpin, which have dihydride 2 as a common intermediate. C?H bond activation of the arenes is the rate-determining step of both cycles, as the C?H oxidative addition to 3 is faster than to 2. The results from a kinetic study of the reactions of 1 and 2 with HBpin support a cooperative function of the hydride ligands in the B?H bond activation. The addition of the boron atom of the borane to a hydride facilitates the coordination of the B?H bond through the formation of κ1- and κ2-dihydrideborate intermediates.
