Cobalt(II) halides in combination with phenoxyimine (FI) ligands generated efficient precatalysts in situ for the C(sp2)-C(sp3) Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling between alkyl bromides and neopentylglycol (hetero)arylboronic esters. The protocol enabled efficient C-C bond formation with a host of nucleophiles and electrophiles (36 examples, 34-95%) with precatalyst loadings of 5 mol %. Studies with alkyl halide electrophiles that function as radical clocks support the intermediacy of alkyl radicals during the course of the catalytic reaction. The improved performance of the FI-cobalt catalyst was correlated with decreased lifetimes of cage-escaped radicals as compared to those of diamine-type ligands. Studies of the phenoxyimine-cobalt coordination chemistry validate the L,X interaction leading to the discovery of an optimal, well-defined, air-stable mono-FI-cobalt(II) precatalyst structure.

We report here a mechanistically distinct tactic to carry E2-type eliminations on alkyl halides. This strategy exploits the interplay of α-aminoalkyl radical-mediated halogen-atom transfer (XAT) with desaturative cobalt catalysis. The methodology is high-yielding, tolerates many functionalities, and was used to access industrially relevant materials. In contrast to thermal E2 eliminations where unsymmetrical substrates give regioisomeric mixtures, this approach enables, by fine-tuning of the electronic and steric properties of the cobalt catalyst, to obtain high olefin positional selectivity. This unprecedented mechanistic feature has allowed access tocontra-thermodynamic olefins, elusive by E2 eliminations.

Herein, we disclose a Ni-catalyzed formal aminocarbonylation of primary and secondary unactivated aliphatic iodides with isocyanides to afford alkyl amide, which proceeds via the selective monomigratory insertion of isocyanides with alkyl iodides, subsequent β-hydride elimination, and hydrolysis process. The reaction features wide functional group tolerance under mild conditions. Additionally, the selective, one-pot hydrolysis of reaction mixture under acid conditions allows for expedient synthesis of the corresponding alkyl carboxylic acid.
