Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Ethyl Chlorofluoroacetate with Aryl Bromides

A combinatorial nickel-catalyzed monofluoroalkylation of aryl bromides with the industrial raw regent ethyl chlorofluoroacetate has been developed. The two key factors to successful conversion are the combination of nickel with readily available nitrogen and phosphine ligands and the using of a mixture of different solvents. Mechanistic investigations indicated a new zinc regent might generated in situ and be involved in the reaction process.

Iron-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions of Alkyl Grignards with Aryl Chlorobenzenesulfonates

Aryl sulfonate esters are versatile synthetic intermediates in organic chemistry as well as attractive architectures due to their bioactive properties. Herein, we report the synthesis of alkyl-substituted benzenesulfonate esters by iron-catalyzed C(sp²)–C(sp³) cross-coupling of Grignard reagents with aryl chlorides. The method operates using an environmentally benign and sustainable iron catalytic system, employing benign urea ligands. A broad range of chlorobenzenesulfonates as well as challenging alkyl organometallics containing β-hydrogens are compatible with these conditions, affording alkylated products in high to excellent yields. The study reveals that aryl sulfonate esters are the most reactive activating groups for iron-catalyzed alkylative C(sp²)–C(sp³) cross-coupling of aryl chlorides with Grignard reagents.     

Bimetallic Cooperatively Catalyzed Heteroarylation of Aryl Fluorosulfates

We report a bimetallic cooperatively catalyzed C−H activation strategy for the heteroarylation of easily accessed aryl fluorosulfates which were introduced to sulfur fluoride exchange (SuFEx) click chemistry by Sharpless. This novel catalytic system enables highly chemoselective synthesis of important heterobiaryl motifs through the coupling of aryl fluorosulfates in the absence of prefunclization and directing groups. Moreover, this strategy has good functional group tolerance and a wide range of substrates and could be successfully used for the synthesis of bioactive molecules tafamidis.     

Modular Synthesis of ortho-Thiolated Aryl Esters Enabled with Thiocarbonate through Catellani Strategy

Herein, we report a palladium/norbornene/copper co-catalyzed single-step approach that merges selective ortho C−H bond esterification with ipso thiolation for construction of synthetically versatile 2-arylthio aryl esters under exceptionally mild conditions. Importantly, this process proceeded in a highly efficient manner, allowing alkoxycarbonyl and thio groups to be installed into one aryl iodides simultaneously by harnessing thiocarbonate as bifunctional reagent. The method has been demonstrated to accommodate good functionalities and features broad substrate scope.     

Iron-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Thioesters and Organomanganese Reagents**

We report a Fukuyama-type coupling of thioesters with aliphatic organomanganese reagents utilizing a cheap and easily available iron(III) precatalyst. The reactions exhibit a wide tolerance of solvents and functional groups, allowing for the conversion of thioesters derived from natural products and pharmaceutical compounds. A strong steric impact from each reaction component (carboxylic moiety, thiol substituent and manganese reagent) was displayed, which enabled regioselective transformation of dithioesters. Mechanistic investigations showed that the released thiolate does not act as a mere spectator ligand, but rather positively influences the stability of intermediate alkyl(II)ferrates.     

Palladium/Copper Dual Catalysis for the Cross‐Coupling of Aryl(trialkyl)silanes with Aryl Bromides

Whereas aryl(trialkyl)silanes are considered to be ideal organometallic reagents for cross‐coupling reactions owing to their stability, low toxicity, solubility, and easy accessibility, they are generally inert under typical cross‐coupling conditions. Disclosed herein is a palladium/copper catalytic system that enables the cross‐coupling of trimethyl, triethyl, tert‐butyldimethyl, and triisopropyl aryl silanes with aryl bromides. This process is applicable to the sequential C?H and C?Si bond arylation of thiophenes and the synthesis of poly(thiophene–fluorene)s.     

Cross-Coupling of Aryllithiums with Aryl and Vinyl Halides in Flow Microreactors

The use of Pd catalysts that contained a carbene ligand, such as PEPPSI-SIPr, speeded up the Murahashi coupling of ArLi with ArBr, by enabling its integration with the Br/Li exchange of ArBr with BuLi in flow. Space integration realized the rapid cross-coupling of two different ArBr substrates. However, the cross-coupling reaction with vinyl halides could not be achieved under similar conditions. Pd(OAc)₂ was an effective catalyst, and the space integration of the Br/Li exchange of ArBr with BuLi and the Murahashi coupling with vinyl halides was successfully achieved.

A simple but effective copper‐catalyzed borylation of aryl halides, including electron‐rich and sterically hindered aryl bromides, with alkoxy diboron reagents occurs under mild conditions (see scheme). Preliminary DFT studies of the mechanism suggest that σ‐bond metathesis between a copper–boryl intermediate and the aryl halide generates the aryl boronate product.

     

Tandem Pd-Catalyzed Cyclization/Coupling of Non-Terminal Acetylenic Activated Methylenes with (Hetero)Aryl Bromides

We report a new method for a tandem Pd-catalyzed intramolecular addition of active methylene compounds to internal alkynes followed by coupling with aryl and heteroaryl bromides. Highly substituted vinylidenecyclopentanes were obtained with good yields, complete selectivity, and excellent functional group tolerance. A plausible mechanism, supported by DFT calculations, involves the oxidative addition of bromoarene to Pd(0), followed by cyclization and reductive elimination. The excellent regio- and stereoselectivity arises from the 5-exo-dig intramolecular addition of the enol form of the substrate to alkyne activated by the π-acidic Pd(II) center, postulated as the rate-determining step.
