, p. 13337 - 13347 (2021/11/20)
We report a catalytic method for the direct deoxygenation of various C-O bond-containing functional groups. Using a Ni(II) pre-catalyst and silane reducing agent, alcohols, epoxides, and ethers are reduced to the corresponding alkane. Unsaturated species including aldehydes and ketones are also deoxygenated via initial formation of an intermediate silylated alcohol. The reaction is chemoselective for C(sp3)-O bonds, leaving amines, anilines, aryl ethers, alkenes, and nitrogen-containing heterocycles untouched. Applications toward catalytic deuteration, benzyl ether deprotection, and the valorization of biomass-derived feedstocks demonstrate some of the practical aspects of this methodology.

Though the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction has intrinsic advantages in organic synthesis, it is still a challenging task to develop a highly active and truly heterogeneous catalyst for the aqueous Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction (SMR). In this work, a series of phenanthroline-based polymers (PBPs; PBP1 to PBP8) were synthesized by a simple one-step AlCl3-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts polymerization method. Systematic measurements of PBPs by N2adsorption-desorption isotherms, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) show that most of the PBPs have a nanosheet morphology, except PBP8 which has both one-dimensional nanotubular morphology and large surface area (745 m2g?1). Benefitting from the porous nanotube morphology and the two N atoms contained in the phenanthroline unit of the polymer structure, polymer PBP8 shows adsorption effects and strong chelating stabilization on the Pd active metal (size, 2-5 nm). The Pd/PBP8 catalyst exhibits superior catalytic activity within 2 h (TOF value: 3077 h?1) and reusability (7 cycles) in the SMR with typical reactants such as bromobenzene, phenylboronic acid and the base of K3PO4.3H2O at 30 °C in a solvent mixture of water and ethanol (VH2O?:?Vethanol= 3?:?2).

A site-specific oxidation of (sp3)C-C(sp3) and (sp3)C-H bonds in aryl alkanes by the use of NaNO2/HCl was explored. The method is chemical-oxidant-free, transition-metal-free, uses water as the solvent, and proceeds under mild conditions, making it valuable and attractive to synthetic organic chemistry.

, p. 3008 - 3014 (2021/01/18)
A metal-free route for the synthesis of biarenes has been developed. The approach is based on the photoextrusion of a phosphate moiety occurring upon irradiation of biaryl- A nd triaryl phosphates. The reaction involves an exciplex as the intermediate and it is especially suitable for the preparation of electron-rich biarenes.

Simple, small organic molecules containing nitrogen and oxygen atoms in their structures have been disclosed to catalyze transition-metal-free C-H arylation of unactivated arenes with aryl iodides in the presence of tBuOK. In this article, an optimized catalytically active molecule, (2-(methylamino)phenyl)methanol, was designed. A broad range of aryl iodides could be converted into the corresponding arylated products at 100 °C over 24 h with good to excellent yields. Mechanistic experiments verified that radicals participated in this catalytic transformation and that the cleavage of the aromatic C-H bond was not the rate determining step. A K+ capture experiment by 18-crown-6 emphasized the significance of the cation species of the strong base. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy proved that the catalytic system was activated by the hydrogen bonds between small organic molecules and tBuOK. Also, a clear mechanism was proposed. This transition-metal-free method affords a promising system for efficient and inexpensive synthesis of biaryls via a user-friendly approach, as confirmed by scale-up experiments.

The generation of tertiary, secondary, and primary alkyl radicals has been achieved by the direct visible-light excitation of a boracene-based alkylborate. This system is based on the photophysical properties of the organoboron molecule. The protocol is applicable to decyanoalkylation, Giese addition, and nickel-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond formations such as alkyl-aryl cross-coupling or vicinal alkylarylation of alkenes, enabling the introduction of various C(sp3) fragments to organic molecules.

A series of RuII (1), RhIII (2), IrIII (3, 4), IrI (5) and PdII (6-9) complexes of the 'instant carbene' nitron were prepared and characterized by 1H- and 13C-NMR, FT-IR and elemental analysis. The molecular structures of complexes 1-4 and 6 were determined by X-ray diffraction studies. The catalytic activity of the complexes (1-9) was evaluated in alpha(α)-alkylation reactions of ketones with alcohol via the borrowing hydrogen strategy under mild conditions. These complexes were able to perform this catalytic transformation in a short time with low catalyst and base amounts under an air atmosphere. Also, the PdII-nitron complexes (6-9) were applied in the Suzuki-Miyaura C-C coupling reaction and these complexes successfully initiated this reaction in a short time (30 minutes) using the H2O/2-propanol (1.5?:?0.5) solvent system. The DFT calculations revealed that the Pd0/II/0 pathway was more preferable for the mechanism
Transition-Metal-Free C-C, C-O, and C-N Cross-Couplings Enabled by Light

Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-couplings to construct C-C, C-O, and C-N bonds have revolutionized chemical science. Despite great achievements, these metal catalysts also raise certain issues including their high cost, requirement of specialized ligands, sensitivity to air and moisture, and so-called "transition-metal-residue issue". Complementary strategy, which does not rely on the well-established oxidative addition, transmetalation, and reductive elimination mechanistic paradigm, would potentially eliminate all of these metal-related issues. Herein, we show that aryl triflates can be coupled with potassium aryl trifluoroborates, aliphatic alcohols, and nitriles without the assistance of metal catalysts empowered by photoenergy. Control experiments reveal that among all common aryl electrophiles only aryl triflates are competent in these couplings whereas aryl iodides and bromides cannot serve as the coupling partners. DFT calculation reveals that once converted to the aryl radical cation, aryl triflate would be more favorable to ipso substitution. Fluorescence spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry investigations suggest that the interaction between excited acetone and aryl triflate is essential to these couplings. The results in this report are anticipated to provide new opportunities to perform cross-couplings.

Nickel-catalyzed reductive cross coupling of activated primary amines with aryl halides under mild reaction conditions has been achieved for the first time. Due to the avoidance of stoichiometric organometallic reagents and external bases, the scope regarding both coupling partners is broad. Thus, a wide range of substrates, natural products and drugs with diverse functional groups are tolerated. Moreover, experimental mechanistic investigations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations in combination with wavefunction analysis have been performed to understand the catalytic cycle in more detail.
Catalytic protodeboronation of pinacol boronic esters: Formal anti-Markovnikov hydromethylation of alkenes
Clausen, Florian,Kischkewitz, Marvin,Bergander, Klaus,Studer, Armido
, p. 6210 - 6214 (2019/06/27)
Pinacol boronic esters are highly valuable building blocks in organic synthesis. In contrast to the many protocols available on the functionalizing deboronation of alkyl boronic esters, protodeboronation is not well developed. Herein we report catalytic protodeboronation of 1°, 2° and 3° alkyl boronic esters utilizing a radical approach. Paired with a Matteson-CH2-homologation, our protocol allows for formal anti-Markovnikov alkene hydromethylation, a valuable but unknown transformation. The hydromethylation sequence was applied to methoxy protected (-)-Δ8-THC and cholesterol. The protodeboronation was further used in the formal total synthesis of δ-(R)-coniceine and indolizidine 209B.
