, (2019/05/22)
An effective nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of Umpolung carbonyls and alkyl halides was developed. Complementary to classical alkylation techniques, this reaction utilizes Umpolung carbonyls as the environmentally benign alkyl nucleophiles, providing an efficient and selective catalytic alternative to the traditional use of highly reactive alkyl organometallic reagents.

Nickel-catalyzed alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling reactions of non-activated secondary alkyl bromides with aldehydes as alkyl carbanion equivalents

A novel nickel-catalyzed alkyl-alkyl cross coupling of non-activated secondary alkyl bromides with aldehydes via hydrazone intermediates has been developed. Aldehydes as alkyl carbanion equivalents replace traditional organometallic reagents. This coupling occurs on the carbon of the hydrazone rather than the nitrogen. In addition, non-activated primary and tertiary alkyl bromides also undergo the cross-coupling reaction to form new C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds in moderate yields.

Microscale parallel experimentation was used to discover three catalyst systems capable of coupling secondary organotrifluoroborates with sterically and electronically demanding aryl chlorides and bromides. The ensuing results represent the first comprehensive study of alkylboron coupling to aryl chlorides and, in particular, using secondary alkylboron partners. A ligand-dependent β-hydride elimination/reinsertion mechanism was implicated in the cross-coupling of more hindered substrates, leading to isomeric mixtures of coupled products in some cases.

Ultrafast study of p-biphenylyldiazomethane and p-biphenylylcarbene

p-Biphenylyldiazomethane was excited by femtosecond pulses of UV light in acetonitrile, in cyclohexane, and in methanol. Ultrafast photolysis produces a singlet excited state of p-biphenylyldiazomethane with λmax = 490 nm, and lifetimes of less than 300 fs in acetonitrile, in cyclohexane, and in methanol. The decay of the excited state is accompanied by the growth of transient absorption with λmax = 360 nm. The carrier of this transient absorption is attributed to singlet p-biphenylylcarbene, a result that is consistent with the predictions of TD-DFT calculations. The singlet carbene lifetimes are 200 and 77 ps in acetonitrile and cyclohexane, respectively, and are controlled by intersystem crossing to the lower energy triplet state. The transient absorption does not decay to baseline in acetonitrile, because of the formation of nitrile ylide. The equilibrium mixture of singlet and triplet p-biphenylylcarbene reacts with acetonitrile to form a nitrile ylide (λmax = 370 nm), and with cyclohexane by C-H insertion 1-20 ns after the laser pulse. The singlet carbene lifetime is only 7.9 ps in methanol, owing to a rapid reaction with the solvent. Reaction with the solvent gives rise, in part, to a p-biphenylylbenzyl cation (λmax = 450 nm, τ = 6.3 ps) in methanol.
