A novel method of arylation of α-chloroketones
Durandetti,Sibille,Nedelec,Perichon
, p. 145 - 151 (1994)
α-Arylated ketones were obtained in moderate to good yields by one-step electroreductive coupling of α-chloroketones and arylhalides in DMF and in the presence of a Al- or Zn-sacrificial anode and a catalytic amount of a nickel complex.

A mechanism study to identify the elements that control the chemoselectivity of metal-catalyzed N-atom transfer reactions of styryl azides is presented. Our studies show that the proclivity of the metal N-aryl nitrene to participate in sp3-C-H bond amination or electrocyclization reactions can be controlled by either the substrate or the catalyst. Electrocyclization is favored for mono-β-substituted and sterically noncongested styryl azides, whereas sp3-C-H bond amination through an H-atom abstraction-radical recombination mechanism is preferred when a tertiary allylic reaction center is present. Even when a weakened allylic C-H bond is present, our data suggest that the indole is still formed through an electrocyclization instead of a common allyl radical intermediate. The site selectivity of metal N-aryl nitrenes was found to be controlled by the choice of catalyst: Ir(I)-alkene complexes trigger electrocyclization processes while Fe(III) porphyrin complexes catalyze sp3-C-H bond amination in substrates where Rh2(II) carboxylate catalysts provide both products.
Nickel-catalyzed direct electrochemical cross-coupling between aryl halides and activated alkyl halides
Durandetti, Muriel,Nedelec, Jean-Yves,Perichon, Jacques
, p. 1748 - 1755 (2007/10/03)
The electrochemical reduction of a mixture of aryl halides and activated alkyl halides in DMF in the presence of catalytic amount of NiBr2bipy leads to cross-coupling products in good to high yields. The method applies to the synthesis of α-aryl ketones, α-aryl esters, and allylated compounds from readily available organic halides. Optimization of the process has been obtained by slowly adding the most reactive organic halide (usually the activated alkyl halide) during the electrolysis which is best conducted at 70 °C when aryl bromides are involved.
