A nickel-catalyzed cross coupling of aryl fluorides via C-F bond activation has been developed. The alkylation method allows selective replacement of aryl fluorides by alkyl groups and enables the synthesis of diverse and otherwise difficult to access scaffolds in good yields.

A novel pathway for direct conversion of benzylsilanes to phenols by oxidation with Na2S2O8 and oxygen is efficiently developed under mild and neutral conditions. The reaction shows good functional group tolerance to afford phenols in moderate yields. The possible mechanism is proposed based on the isotopic labeling trials.

A site-selective hydroxylative dearomatization of 2-substituted phenols to either 1,2-benzoquinols or their cyclodimers, catalyzed by 4,5-dimethyl-2-iodoxybenzenesulfonic acid with Oxone, has been developed. Natural products such as biscarvacrol and lacinilene C methyl ether could be synthesized efficiently under mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, both the reaction rate and site selectivity could be further improved by the introduction of a trialkylsilylmethyl substituent at the 2-position of phenols. The corresponding 1,2-quinols could be transformed into various useful structural motifs by [4+2] cycloaddition cascade reactions.

Nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of methoxyarenes with alkyl Grignard reagents, which involves the cleavage of the C(aryl)-OMe bond, has been developed. The use of 1,3-dicyclohexylimidazol-2-ylidene as a ligand allows the introduction of a variety of alkyl groups, including Me, Me3SiCH2, ArCH2, adamantyl, and cyclopropyl. The method can also be used for the alkylative elaboration of complex molecules bearing a C(aryl)-OMe bond.

The palladium-catalyzed direct cross-coupling of a range of organic chlorides and bromides with the bifunctional C(sp3)-(trimethylsilyl)methyllithium reagent is reported. The use of Pd-PEPPSI-IPent as the catalyst allows for the preparation of structurally diverse and synthetically versatile benzyl- and allylsilanes in high yields under mild conditions (room temperature) with short reaction times.

Highly regioselective benzylic metalations in hydrocarbon solvent have been achieved at rt and 0 °C using a mixed-metal Li/K-TMP amide comprised of KOtBu, BuLi, and 2,2,6,6,-tetramethylpiperidine (TMP(H)). Mixing of KOtBu, BuLi, and TMP(H) in heptane gave a solution of the base mixture which when used in deuterium labeling experiments confirmed the requirement of the three reagent components for both reactivity and selectivity. The reaction protocol is operationally straightforward and found to be applicable to a broad range of substrates. Upon generation of the metalated products, they are reacted in heptane at ambient temperature in a variety of synthetically useful ways. Illustrated examples include generation of the benzyltrimethylsilanes and α,α-bis(trimethylsilyl)toluenes reagents, which are bench-stable surrogates of benzyl anions and α-silyl carbanions utilized for nucleophilic addition and Peterson olefination reactions. Direct C-C couplings mediated by 1,2-dibromoethane provided entries into bibenzyls and [2.2]metacyclophanes. Comparison of reaction outcomes with the same reactions carried out in THF at -78 °C showed no negative effects for conducting the reactions under these milder more user-friendly conditions.

The photoreactivity of differently substituted (chloromethoxybenzyl)trimethylsilanes in alcohols and alcohol/water mixtures has been investigated by means of a combined computational and experimental approach. Subsequent elimination of the chloride anion and the trimethylsilyl cation gives the corresponding methoxy-substituted α,n-didehydrotoluenes (α,n-MeO-DHTs). The rate of desilylation is evaluated through the competition with arylation via phenyl cation (ca. 108s-1). α,2-MeO- and α,4-MeO-DHTs show a purely radical behavior (H abstraction from the solvent, methanol), while α,3-MeO-DHT shows mainly a ionic chemistry, as when the parent α,3-DHT is thermally generated. This is likely due to triplet-singlet surfaces crossing occurring during desilylation.
Synthesis and application of benzyl-TMS derivatives as bench stable benzyl anion equivalents

The regioselective benzylic metalation of toluenes using BuLi/KO tBu/TMP(H) (LiNK metalation conditions) and subsequent transmetalation to Si by reaction with TMSCl provides a general one-pot procedure for the synthesis of substituted benzyltrimethylsilanes. ArCH 2Si(Me)3 derivatives are bench stable reagents yet can serve as benzyl anion equivalents under mild reaction conditions. Following activation with fluoride they can successfully participate in a wide range of additions to both non-enolizable and enolizable carbonyls. In addition, their use in the synthesis of isochromanones and trifluoromethylated amines is illustrated. The broad synthetic scope and mild practical conditions of use for ArCH2Si(Me)3 reagents demonstrate their general potential as benzyl anion equivalents.
Controlled anion migrations with a mixed metal Li/K-TMP amide: General application to benzylic metalations

A general method is described for benzylic metalation of o-, m-, and p-substituted toluenes using a mixed metal amide base generated from BuLi/KOtBu/TMP at -78 °C in THF. The excellent selectivity achieved can be rationalized by the ability of the mixed metal amide base to facilitate an anion migration from the kinetic (o-aryl) to the benzylic metalation site. Remarkably, this controlled anion migration is achievable with catalytic amounts of TMP at -78 °C.
