The boron trifluoride induced Suzuki‐Miyaura cross‐coupling of aryltriazenes with arylboronic acids catalyzed by Pd(OAc)₂ without added ligands has been achieved for the first time.

Nickel‐Catalyzed Difluoromethylation of Arylboronic Acids with Bromodifluoromethane

Although bromodifluoromethane (BrCF₂H) is a simple and readily available fluorine source, direct formation of difluoromethylated arenes with BrCF₂H has not been reported. Herein, we describe an efficient method to access difluoromethylated arenes through a nickel‐catalyzed difluoromethylation of arylboronic acids with BrCF₂H. The reaction exhibits high efficiency, good functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope, thus providing an efficient route for applications in drug discovery and development. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that a difluoromethyl radical is involved in the reaction.

Selectivity of Reactions of Methylhydrazones with Butadiene in the Presence of Palladium and Nickel Complexes.

Reactions of aldehyde and ketone methylhydrazones with butadiene in the presence of palladium complexes have been shown to yield N-octadienylated methylhydrazones. In contrast, in the presence of nickel complexes, a mixture of two isomeric azo-derivatives are formed from two moles of butadiene and one mole of methylhydrazone. The selectivity of these reactions is discussed in terms of the reactivity of the bis-π-allylmetal intermediates.

Bipyridine‐Modulated Palladium‐Catalyzed Oxidative Heck‐Type Reactions of Arylboronic Acids with Olefins

We have demonstrated that 4,4′‐dimethyl 2,2′‐bipyridine as ligand for Pd(II) catalysts was very efficient for oxidative Heck‐type coupling reaction of arylboronic acids with olefins in DMA or CH₃CN under atm air at 80 °C. The presence of chelated bipyridine ligand isindispensable to achieve high reaction yields and to suppress the formation of biphenyl as homocoupled byproduct.

Hydrogenolysis of Polysilanes Catalyzed by Low-Valent Nickel Complexes

The dehydrogenation of organosilanes (R_xSiH_4−x) under the formation of Si−Si bonds is an intensively investigated process leading to oligo- or polysilanes. The reverse reaction is little studied. To date, the hydrogenolysis of Si−Si bonds requires very harsh conditions and is very unselective, leading to multiple side products. Herein, we describe a new catalytic hydrogenation of oligo- and polysilanes that is highly selective and proceeds under mild conditions. New low-valent nickel hydride complexes are used as catalysts and secondary silanes, RR′SiH₂, are obtained as products in high purity.     

Studies on Suzuki‐Miyaura Reactions Catalyzed by Ferrocenyl or Cobaltocenyl Phosphines Ligated Palladium Complexes

DFT studies on several dppf ‐ and dppc ‐derived bidentate phosphines ligated palladium complexes catalyzed Suzuki‐Miyaura coupling reactions were pursued. The catalytic reactions employing ligands, having two phosphine biting sites on different cyclpentadienyl or cyclobutadiene rings, such as 1,1'‐dmpf or 1,1' ‐dmpc, have been verified to be energetically more favorable than those on the same ring provided that tetra‐coordinated palladium conformations for all transition states and intermediates are maintained. Apart from the purpose of storage, the application of phosphinous acid (R₂P(OH)) in Suzuki‐Miyaura reaction is inferior to tertiary phosphine (R₃P).     

Enantioselective Aldol Reaction with Difluoroenoxysilanes Catalyzed by Cationic Palladium Aqua Complexes

The enantioselective addition of difluoroenoxysilanes to aromatic aldehydes, catalyzed by cationic palladium aqua complexes, has been described.

The palladium catalysts, previously discovered and reported by Sodeoka, are easily prepared in two steps from PdCl₂(MeCN)₂. The aldol compounds were obtained in good yields and with enantiomeric ratios up to 93 : 7, the reaction being more efficient using electron-rich aldehydes.

Direct Arylation of Substituted Pyridines with Arylboronic Acids Catalyzed by Iron(II) Oxalate

The direct arylation of substituted pyridines with several arylboronic acids has been developed. This transformation could proceed readily at ambient temperature using inexpensive reagents: iron(II) oxalate as a catalyst, potassium persulfate as a co‐oxidant, which can afford the arylated products in mild to good yields. The mechanism is presumed to proceed through a nucleophilic radical addition to the pyridines with in situ reoxidation.
