Magnesium organometallic reagents occupy a central position in organic synthesis. The freshness of these compounds is the key for achieving a high conversion and reproducible results. Common methods for the synthesis of Grignard reagents from metallic magnesium present safety issues and exhibit a batch-to-batch variability. Tubular reactors of solid reagents combined with solution-phase reagents enable the continuous-flow preparation of organomagnesium reagents. The use of stratified packed-bed columns of magnesium metal and lithium chloride for the synthesis of highly concentrated turbo Grignards is reported. A low-cost pod-style synthesizer prototype, which incorporates single-use prepacked perfluorinated cartridges and bags of reagents for the automated on-demand lab-scale synthesis of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen turbo magnesium bases is presented. This concept will provide access to fresh organomagnesium reagents on a discovery scale and will do so independent from the operator’s experience in flow and/or organometallic chemistry.

A borate-containing caged triarylphosphine L-X (X = Na or NBu4), featuring a 9-phospha-10-boratriptycene framework, was synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The NMR coupling constant of the corresponding phosphine selenide indicated a higher electron-donating property of the borate-phosphine L compared to that of the 9-phospha-10-silatriptycene derivative (Ph-TRIP). The coordination property of L-X to [PdCl(η3-allyl)]2 was dependent on the countercation, giving a neutral Pd complex [PdCl(η3-allyl)(L-NBu4)] from L-NBu4 in CH2Cl2 or a zwitterionic Pd complex [Pd(η3-allyl)(MeCN)(L)] from L-Na in MeCN/CH2Cl2. Utility of L-X as a ligand for metal catalysis was demonstrated in the Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of aryl chlorides.

Benzimidazolium salts having their two nitrogen atoms substituted by different 9-alkylfluorenyl groups (4a-e and 4g, alkyl1/alkyl 2 = Me/Et, Me/Pr, Me/n-Bu, Me/i-Pr, Me/Bn, Me/CH2SMe have been synthesised in high yields in two or three steps from N,N′-bis(9H- fluoren-9-ylidene)benzene-1,2-diamine (1). The imidazolium salts 4a-e were converted readily into the corresponding PEPPSI-type palladium complexes (PEPPSI = pyridine-enhanced precatalyst preparation stabilisation and initiation), while reaction of the methylthioether-substituted salt 4g with PdCl 2/K2CO3/pyridine afforded the palladacycle 5g resulting from metallation of the methyl group attached to the fluorenylidene moiety. NMR and X-ray diffraction studies revealed that the carbene ligands in 5a-5e behave as clamp-like ligands, the resulting metal confinement arising from a combination of the orientational properties of the fluorenylidene moieties that push the alkyl groups towards the metal centre and attractive anagostic interactions involving CH2(fluorenyl) groups. Complexes 5a-e were assessed in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. Like their symmetrical analogues they displayed high activity in the coupling of phenyl boronic acid with p-tolylchloride but their performance remained slightly inferior to that of the related, symmetrical Et/Et complex 5h.
