Nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of umpolung carbonyls and alkyl halides

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.

Synthesis of quinolinyl-based pincer copper(ii) complexes: an efficient catalyst system for Kumada coupling of alkyl chlorides and bromides with alkyl Grignard reagents

Quinolinamide-based pincer copper(ii) complexes, κN,κN,κN-{C9H6N-(μ-N)-C(O)CH2NEt2}CuX [(QNNNEt2)CuX (X = Cl, 2; X = Br, 3; X = OAc, 4)], were synthesized by the reaction of ligand (QNNNEt2)-H (1) with CuX2 (X = Cl, Br or OAc) in the presence of Et3N. The reaction of (QNNNEt2)-H with CuX (X = Cl, Br or OAc) also afforded the Cu(ii) complexes 2, 3 and 4, respectively, instead of the expected Cu(i) pincer complexes. The formation of Cu(ii) complexes from Cu(i) precursors most likely occurred via the disproportionation reaction of Cu(i) into Cu(0) and Cu(ii). A cationic complex [(QNNNEt2)Cu(CH3CN)]OTf (5) was synthesized by the treatment of neutral complex 2 with AgOTf. On the other hand, the reaction of (QNNNEt2)-H (1) with [Cu(MeCN)4]ClO4 produced cationic Cu(i) complex, [(QNN(H)NEt2)Cu(CH3CN)]ClO4 (6), in good yield. All complexes 2-5 were characterized by elemental analysis and HRMS measurements. Furthermore, the molecular structures of 2, 3 and 4 were elucidated by X-ray crystallography. Complex 4 crystallizes in a dimeric and catemeric pattern. The cationic complex 5 was found to be an efficient catalyst for the Kumada coupling reaction of diverse nonactivated alkyl chlorides and bromides with alkyl magnesium chloride under mild reaction conditions.

Ionic iron(iii) complexes of bis(phenol)-functionalized imidazolium cations: Synthesis, structures and catalysis for aryl Grignard cross-coupling of alkyl halides

A series of bis(phenol)-functionalized imidazolium salts, 1,3-bis(4,6-di-R1-2-hydroxybenzyl)-2-R2-4,5-di-R 3-imidazolium chlorides H3LnCl (R1 = tBu, R2 = R3 = H, H3L 1Cl, 1; R1 = CH3, R2 = R3 = H, H3L2Cl, 2; R1 = tBu, R 2 = H, R3 = Cl, H3L3Cl, 3; R 1 = tBu, R2 = CH3, R3 = H, H3L4Cl, 4), were used to produce a novel series of ionic iron(iii) complexes [H3Ln][FeX4] (n = 1, X = Cl, 5; n = 2, X = Cl, 6; n = 3, X = Cl, 7; n = 4, X = Cl, 8; n = 1, X = Br, 9; n = 3, X = Br, 10). All of the complexes were characterized by Raman spectroscopy and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Elemental analysis and X-ray crystallography were also used. All of the complexes were non-hygroscopic and air-stable, with five of them existing as solids (5, 7-10) and one as an oil (6) at room temperature. A preliminary catalytic study on the cross-coupling reactions of aryl Grignard reagents with primary and secondary alkyl halides bearing β-hydrogens, revealed that all of the ionic iron(iii) complexes exhibited good to excellent catalytic activity. Complexes 5, 6 and 8 exhibited optimal activity, whereas 7, 9 and 10 showed only moderate activity. Furthermore, by simply decanting the cross-coupling product in the ether layer, complexes 5 and 6 could be reused in at least seven successive runs without significant loss in catalytic activity.

New method for the reduction of benzophenones with Raney Ni-Al alloy in water

Raney Ni-Al alloy in a dilute alkaline aqueous solution has been shown to be a powerful reducing agent, which is highly effective in the reduction of benzophenones to the corresponding hydrocarbon derivatives, in the absence of any organic solvents. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

An iron-containing ionic liquid as recyclable catalyst for aryl Grignard cross-coupling of alkyl halides

The ionic liquid butylmelhylimidazolium tetrachloroferrate (bmim-FeCl 4) was found to be a very effective and completely air stable catalyst for the biphasic Grignard cross-coupling with primary and secondary alkyl halides bearing β-hydrogens. After simply decanting the product in the ethereal layer, the ionic liquid catalyst was successfully recycled four times.

Alkylation of Aldehyde (Arenesulfonyl)hydrazones with Trialkylboranes

(Arenesulfonyl)hydrazone derivatives of aryl aldehydes are readily alkylated by trialkylboranes in the presence of base to generate new organoboranes that may be converted to the corresponding substituted alkanes or alcohols depending upon the reaction conditions chosen. Both tosyl- and trisylhydrazone derivatives can be utilized in the reaction, which tolerates a variety of functional groups, making it a versatile alternative to both the Grignard and Suzuki-coupling reactions.

A Facile Alkylation of Aryl Aldehyde Tosylhydrazone with Trialkylboranes

THE EFFECT OF ARYL SUBSTITUENTS ON ARYLCARBENE REACTIVITY

Substituted (p-MeO, p-Me, H, p-Cl, p-Br, m-Br, m-MeO, 3,4-Cl2, p-CO2Me, m-CN and p-CN) monophenylcarbenes are generated in a binary mixture of substrates (methanol, cis-4-methyl-2-pentene and cyclohexane) and the relative rate of O - H insertion into methanol to stereospecific cyclopropanation of the olefin to C - H insertion into cyclohexane are calculated from the ratios of products and substrates.It is found (i) that the reactivities of the substrates decrease in the order of methanol, olefin and cyclohexane and (ii) that electron-donating substituents generally lead to reaction with the more reactive substrates while the reaction with the less reactive substrates is favoured in the case of electron-withdrawing substituents.These results are interpreted in terms of the change in the electrophilicity of the singlet arylcarbene by the substituents rather than the change in the singlet-triplet equilibrium.
