铁催化下二芳基锌和芳基格氏试剂的二氟烷基化反应

随着医药、农药、材料等领域对含氟化合物日益增长的需求,发展向有机分子中直接引入氟原子和含氟基团的方法受到了化学家们的广泛重视.近些年来,过渡金属催化的氟烷基化反应,作为一种温和可控向有机分子引入含氟基团的策略得到了快速发展.与此同时,从反应的高效简洁和绿色温和性角度出发,发展廉价金属作为催化剂以及使用廉价易得的氟卤烷烃作为氟烷基试剂是非常具有吸引力的.本文以绿色低毒的Fe（acac）₃为催化剂,首次实现了铁催化下二芳基锌与α,α-二氟炔丙基溴的交叉偶联反应.该反应条件温和、原料廉价易得,产物可以放大到克量级制备,并能进行多种转化.此外,这一铁催化体系还可以实现芳基格氏试剂与二氟烷基溴代的偶联反应,为合成二氟烷基芳烃化合物提供了一种有效方法.初步的机理研究表明,该反应可能经历了单电子转移的自由基反应历程,偕二氟炔丙基自由基存在反应催化循环中.     

钯催化卤代烷烃参与的自由基型转化反应

Quaternary Centers by Nickel‐Catalyzed Cross‐Coupling of Tertiary Carboxylic Acids and (Hetero)Aryl Zinc Reagents

This work bridges a gap in the cross‐coupling of aliphatic redox‐active esters with aryl zinc reagents. Previously limited to primary, secondary, and specialized tertiary centers, a new protocol has been devised to enable the coupling of general tertiary systems using nickel catalysis. The scope of this operationally simple method is broad, and it can be used to simplify the synthesis of medicinally relevant motifs bearing quaternary centers.     

Single‐Electron‐Transfer‐Induced Coupling of Arylzinc Reagents with Aryl and Alkenyl Halides

Arylzinc reagents, prepared from aryl halides/zinc powder or aryl Grignard reagents/zinc chloride, were found to undergo coupling with aryl and alkenyl halides without the aid of transition‐metal catalysis to give biaryls and styrene derivatives, respectively. In this context, we have already reported the corresponding reaction using aryl Grignard reagents instead of arylzinc reagents. Compared with the Grignard cross‐coupling, the present reaction features high functional‐group tolerance, whereby electrophilic groups such as alkoxycarbonyl and cyano groups are compatible as substituents on both the arylzinc reagents and the aryl halides. Aryl halides receive a single electron and thereby become activated as the corresponding anion radicals, which react with arylzinc reagents, thus leading to the cross‐coupling products.     

Mild palladium-catalyzed selective monoarylation of nitriles

Two new palladium-catalyzed procedures for the arylation of nitriles under less basic conditions than previously reported have been developed. The selective monoarylation of acetonitrile and primary nitriles has been achieved using alpha-silyl nitriles in the presence of ZnF2. This procedure is compatible with a variety of functional groups, including cyano, keto, nitro, and ester groups, on the aryl bromide. The arylation of secondary nitriles occurred in high yield by conducting reactions with zinc cyanoalkyl reagents. These reaction conditions tolerated base-sensitive functional groups, such as ketones and esters. The combination of these two methods, one with alpha-silyl nitriles and one with zinc cyanoalkyl reagents, provides a catalytic route to a variety of benzylic nitriles, which have not only biological significance but utility as synthetic intermediates. The utility of these new coupling reactions has been demonstrated by a synthesis of verapamil, a clinically used drug for the treatment of heart disease, by a three-step route from commercial materials that allows convenient variation of the aryl group.     

Nickel‐Catalyzed Umpolung Arylation of Ambiphilic α‐Bromoalkyl Boronic Esters

A nickel‐catalyzed reductive arylation of ambiphilic α‐bromoalkyl boronic esters with aryl halides is described. This platform provides an unrecognized opportunity to promote the catalytic umpolung reactivity of ambiphilic reagents with aryl halides, thus unlocking a new cross‐coupling strategy that complements existing methods for the preparation of densely functionalized alkyl‐substituted organometallic reagents from simple and readily accessible precursors.     

Synthesis of Functionalized o‐, m‐, and p‐Terphenyl Derivatives by Consecutive Cross‐Coupling Reactions of Triazene‐Substituted Arylboronic Esters

Triazene‐substituted arylboronic esters were prepared readily from the corresponding aryl magnesium derivatives and shown to function as a new class of donor–acceptor‐substituted coupling reagents. The selective functionalization of these aromatic derivatives led to a wide variety of terphenyl derivatives in which the original bifunctional unit (often further substituted with another functional group) formed the central aromatic ring. The functionalized terphenyl derivatives were formed in two efficient cross‐coupling steps from the triazene‐substituted boronic esters: Suzuki cross‐coupling with an aryl halide was followed by BF₃?OEt₂‐induced palladium‐catalyzed coupling of the diazonium salt generated in situ from the triazene with an arylboronic acid.     

An Easy Access to Oxime Ethers by Pd‐Catalyzed C—O Cross‐Coupling of Activated Aryl Bromides with Ketoximes and Chalcone Oximes

An efficient Pd‐catalyzed method for C—O cross‐coupling of ketoximes and chalcone oximes with activated aryl bromides and bromo‐chalcones has been developed. All oxime ethers were obtained in good to excellent yields by [(π‐allyl)PdCl]₂/tBuXPhos ( L7 ) catalyst system. TrixiePhos ( L11 ) was also found to be effective for the oxime coupling. This method offers an easy and smooth coupling of chalcone oximes with activated aryl bromides and bromo‐chalcones, which has not been previously explored.     

A New Convenient Synthesis of α-Arylpropionic Acid Esters and α-Arylpropionitriles

Various types of α-arylpropionic acid esters were effectively obtained by the coupling reaction of aryl Grignard reagents and α-bromopropionic acid esters in the presence of nickel catalysts. α-Arylpropionitriles, precursors of α-arylpropionic acids, were also synthesized by the reaction of α-methanesulfonyloxypropionitrile and arylcopper reagents prepared from equimolar amount of arylmagnesium halides and copper(I) bromide.     

Palladium-catalyzed alpha-arylation of esters and amides under more neutral conditions

Two procedures for the alpha-arylation of carbonyl compounds under conditions that are more neutral than those of reactions of aryl halides with alkali metal enolates are reported. The first procedure rests upon the development of catalysts bearing the hindered pentaphenylferrocenyl di-tert-butylphosphine (Q-phos) and the highly reactive dimeric Pd(I) complex {P(t-Bu)3]PdBr}2. By this procedure, zinc enolates prepared from alpha-bromo esters and amides react with aryl halides to form alpha-aryl esters and amides in high yields under mild conditions with 1-2 mol % catalyst and with remarkable functional group tolerance. By the second procedure, silyl ketene and silyl ketimine acetals react with aryl bromides in the presence of substoichiometric zinc fluoride, 1 mol % Pd(dba)2, and 2 mol % P(t-Bu)3 in DMF solvent at 80 degrees C. Reactions of zinc tert-butyl acetate and propionate enolates and trimethylsilyl ketene acetals of tert-butyl propionate and methyl isobutyrate with aryl bromides bearing electron-donating and potentially reactive, base-sensitive electron-withdrawing groups and with pyridyl bromides are reported. In addition, the diastereoselective coupling of phenyl bromide with an imide enolate bearing the Evans auxiliary is reported, and this study shows that racemization of base-sensitive stereocenters does not occur during the coupling process under these more neutral conditions.     

Stereoselective C(sp3)-C(sp2) Negishi coupling of (2-amido-1-phenylpropyl)zinc compounds through the steric control of β-amido group

A controllable diastereoselective C(sp2)-C(sp3) Negishi coupling reaction of secondary benzylic zinc reagents with aryl bromides has been demonstrated for the first time, forming medicinally important 1-arylphenylethylamines. In the presence of Pd(OAc) 2 and S-phos, open-chain (2-amido-1-phenylethyl)zinc reagents bearing a -NHAc or NHCHO group underwent cross-coupling reaction to give syn 1-arylphenylethylamine as the major products, whereas the zinc reagents bearing a sterically hindered-NHCOC(CH3)2 OTBS group specifically yielded anti 1-arylphenylethylamines.     

On The Remarkably Different Role of Salt in the Cross‐Coupling of Arylzincs From That Seen With Alkylzincs

The role of halide salt additives has been investigated in the Negishi reaction involving aryl zinc reagents. Diarylzincs readily transmetallate to Pd in relatively non‐polar media (e.g., THF) with zero salt present and coupling proceeds. Arylzinc halides (ArZnX) fail to couple in THF without salt, but do couple with it. However, unlike alkylzincs that form higher‐order zincates in order to facilitate transmetallation, all that is required with arylzincs in an increase in solvent dielectric as even ZnX₂ works as an additive, which completely terminates alkylzinc coupling.
