Synthesis of biaryl ketones by arylation of Weinreb amides with functionalized Grignard reagents under thermodynamic controlvs.kinetic control ofN,N-Boc2-amides

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.

Tetradentate Gold(III) Complexes as Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) Emitters: Microwave-Assisted Synthesis and High-Performance OLEDs with Long Operational Lifetime

Structurally robust tetradentate gold(III)-emitters have potent material applications but are rare and unprecedented for those displaying thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). Herein, a novel synthetic route leading to the preparation of highly

Regiospecific Acylation of Cycloplatinated Complexes: Scope, Limitations, and Mechanistic Implications

A series of platinum complexes based on the tridentate cyclometalating ligand derivatives 6-arylamino-2,2′-bipyridine, 6-phenoxy-2,2′-bipyridine, 6-phenylthio-2,2′-bipyridine, 6-benzyl-2,2′-bipyridine, and 6-benzoyl-2,2′-bipyridine were synthesized, and their acylation reactions were studied. Acylation of platinum complexes based on 6-(4-R-phenylamino)-2,2′-bipyridine derivatives (R = CH3O, CH3, Cl, COOEt) tolerates both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents on the aryl ring that are para to the amino group. However, platinum complexes based on 6-(3-R′-phenylamino)-2,2′-bipyridine (R′ = CH3, Cl, Br) did not undergo the acylation reaction under the same conditions. Interestingly, the acylation of the platinum complexes based on 6-(3-fluorophenylamino)-2,2′-bipyridine proceeded smoothly, and the results indicate that the acylation is regiospecific and occurs at the metalated carbon. Complexes based on 6-phenoxy-2,2′-bipyridine, 6-phenylthio-2,2′-bipyridine, and 6-benzyl-2,2′-bipyridine are also regioselectively acylated. A cyclometalated platinum complex based on 6-benzoyl-2,2′-bipyridine, where the benzene is more electron deficient than those in other cyclometalated platinum complexes, failed to undergo the acylation reaction. The acylation can be carried out in acetic acid, 1,2-dichloroethane, benzonitrile, and acetonitrile. Other acyl halides such as benzoyl chloride and crotonyl chloride are also effective acylating reagents. On the basis of the fact that the reaction is discouraged by the electron deficiency of the phenyl ring and contrasting results of the acylation of platinum complexes based on 6-(3-R′-phenylamino)-2,2′-bipyridine (R′ = CH3, F, Cl, Br), an unprecedented electrophilic addition-platinum migration-rearomatization cascade mechanism is proposed for the regiospecific acylation reaction.

New efficient method for the synthesis of chiral 2,2′-bipyridyl ligands

An efficient preparation of chiral 2,2′-bipyridines was developed. Compound 1 was synthesized in 54% yield for three steps starting from 2,6-dibromopyridine. In this synthesis, only catalytic amounts of metals were used in the asymmetric reduction and homo-coupling reaction steps. The total yield and simplicity of experimental procedures were much improved compared with those of the previous report. Other chiral 2,2′-bipyridines were similarly synthesized with high efficiency.

A New Synthesis of Aryl Hetaryl Ketones via SRN1 Reaction of Halogenated Heterocycles withPotassiophenylacetonitrile Followed by Phase-Transfer Catalyzed Decyanation

Reaction of halogenated pyridines, quinolines, pyrimidines, and pyrazines with potassiophenylacetonitrile (5) in liquid ammonia under near-uv irradiation affords secondary nitriles, which then undergo oxidative decyanation under phase-transfer catalytic conditions to afford aryl hetaryl ketones in excellent yields.
