Migratory Reductive Cross-Coupling Via Dual Nickel Metathesis Migratory Reductive Cross-Coupling via Dual Nickel Metathesis Yuqiang Li, Binzhi Zhao, Long Peng, Guoyin Yin* The Institute for Advanced Studies, Wuhan University, Wuhan, Hubei 430072, P. R. China Abstract: Cross-electrophile coupling has been developed into a practical approach for the construction of carbon- carbon bonds, wherein nickel catalysis has been widely employed. Mechanistically, a catalytic cycle involving sequentially selective oxidative addition or radical chain process is proposed. Although the catalytic cycle of dual nickel metathesis has been discussed in several important works, none thinks this pathway is possible. In this manuscript, we present a thorough mechanistic study by a series of designed experiments toward the nickel-catalyzed migratory reductive cross-coupling. The results suggest that a catalytic cycle involving two organonickel(II) species metathesis as a key step, operates in this reaction. Moreover, we provide a discussion on the difference between the nickel-catalyzed migratory reductive cross-couplings and the classical ones. Additionally, based on the mechanistic finding, a new catalytic system has also been developed, which allows the use of electron-deficient aryl halides as starting materials, affording the migratory cross-coupling products efficiently. Keywords: nickel catalysis, dual nickel metathesis, mechanism Transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have extraordinary performance in cross-electrophile coupling revolutionized chemical bond formation strategies.1 Among reactions and significant progress has been achieved by Weix,4 these, the cross-coupling of two electrophiles, avoiding Gong,5 , Reisman6 and others. Mechanistically, a catalytic cycle handling air- and/or moisture-sensitive metal reagents, has been involving sequential selective oxidative addition was proposed developed into well-recognized, practical protocols in organic for most of those reactions (Figure 1A).7 Weix and coworkers synthesis in the past decade.2 Nickel catalysis3 exhibits have initially demonstrated efficient reductive alkyl-aryl 1 coupling reactions, and the selective oxidative addition of aryl migratory cross-coupling reactions. The experimental results halides followed by a radical chain process has been firmly support a catalytic cycle with dual nickel(II) metathesis as a key established to rationalize this transformation (Figure 1B).8-9 step (Figure 1C).20 Subsequently, radical chain catalytic cycles have been proposed, particularly in those reactions involving alkyl electrophiles.10-11 Both catalytic cycles are characterized by selective oxidative addition. These two catalytic cycles have prevailed in Ni- catalyzed reductive cross-electrophile coupling reactions, and laid a solid foundation for reaction design in this area.12 Recently, exploring transformations involving metal migration stimulated great interest within the synthetic community.13 In this context, Zhu14-15 and our group16-17 independently developed nickel-catalyzed reductive migratory cross-coupling of alkyl halides with aryl halides. A mechanism involving selective, sequential oxidative addition with Ni(I) chain- walking was proposed by Zhu and coworkers,15 whilst a catalytic cycle involving a radical chain process and Ni(III) chain-walking was proposed to rationalize our previous results.17 However, the mechanism of these type transformations has still not been fully elucidated.18 First, reductive elimination is more favorable than -hydride Figure 1.

Second, it is of Alkyl Electrophiles difficult to explain the formation of migratory Suzuki-Miyaura Results coupling products via the Ni(I) chain-walking pathway.19 Third, the fact that a change of ligand results in a change of Based on previous mechanistic studies of nickel catalysis,21 regioselectivity in our reactions still lacks a reasonable several possible catalytic cycles were proposed for the explanation. migratory reductive cross coupling (Figure 2): A) sequential oxidative addition with Ni(I) chain-walking;14, 22 B) sequential To address the questions mentioned above, we continued our oxidative addition with Ni(II) chain-walking;19, 23 C) radical mechanistic investigation into the nickel-catalyzed reductive 2 chain catalytic cycle with Ni(III) chain-walking;16 D) promote the homocoupling of 2a in an excellent yield (93%), transmetallation between Ni(I)/Ni(III) with Ni(I) chain-walking; whilst the reaction with L1 was slow and afforded the same E) transmetallation between Ni(I)/Ni(II) with Ni(II) chain- product in only 33% yield after 18 hours (Figure 3F and 3G).27 walking; F) transmetallation between Ni(II)/Ni(II) with Ni(II) These results are consistent with an early report from chain-walking.19, 24 Yamamoto and coworkers, which demonstrated that the dual Ar-Ni(II) complex metathesis was the rate-determining step in Products Analysis.

  • Palladium-Catalysed Coupling Chemistry Palladium-Catalysed Coupling Chemistry
    Palladium-Catalysed Coupling Chemistry Palladium-Catalysed Coupling Chemistry Palladium catalysis has gained widespread use in industrial and academic synthetic chemistry laboratories as a powerful methodology for the formation of C-C and C-Heteroatom bonds. Several coupling reactions have been developed with different substrates: 1. SUZUKI-MIYAURA 2. STILLE 3. NEGISHI 4. KUMADA 5. HIYAMA 6. SONOGASHIRA 7. HECK 8. BUCHWALD-HARTWIG 9. CYANATION 10. CARBONYLATION 2 Understanding the catalytic cycle Most palladium catalysed reactions are believed to follow a similar catalytic cycle. The catalytic species can be formed in situ using a palladium source, such as Pd2(dba)3 or Pd(OAc)2 and the necessary ligand, or introduced as a preformed catalyst such as t Pd(PPh3)4 or Pd(P Bu3)2. Careful choice of ligand can facilitate two steps of the catalytic cycle. The use of strong σ-donating ligands, such as trialkylphosphines, increases electron density around the metal, accelerating the oxidative addition of the catalyst to the substrate. This is most commonly believed to be the rate determining step. Choice of ligand also determines the mechanism by which oxidative addition occurs.1 The elimination step is accelerated by the use of bulky ligands, in particular phosphine ligands exhibiting a large cone angle (also known as Tolman angle).2 Ligand Cone Angle (deg) Cat.

  • 2.1 the 18-ELECTRON RULE the 18E Rule1 Is a Way to Help Us Decide
    30 GENERAL PROPERTIES OF ORGANOMETALLIC COMPLEXES 2.1 THE 18-ELECTRON RULE The 18e rule1 is a way to help us decide whether a given d-block transition metal organometallic complex is likely to be stable. Not all the organic formulas we can write down correspond to stable species. For example, CH5 requires a 5-valent carbon and is therefore not stable. Stable compounds, such as CH4,have the noble gas octet, and so carbon can be thought of as following an 8e rule. This corresponds to carbon using its s and three p orbitals to form four filled bonding orbitals and four unfilled antibonding orbitals. On the covalent model, we can consider that of the eight electrons required to fill the bonding orbitals, four come from carbon and one each comes from the four H substituents. We can therefore think of each H atom as being a 1e ligand to carbon. To assign a formal oxidation state to carbon in an organic molecule, we impose an ionic model by artificially dissecting it into ions. Each electron pair in any bond is assigned to the most electronegative of the two atoms or groups that constitute the bond. For methane, this dissection gives C4− + 4H+, with carbon as the more electronegative element. This makes methane an 8e compound with an oxidation state of −4, usually written C(-IV). Note that the net electron count always remains the same, whether we adopt the covalent (4e {Catom}+4 × 1e {4H atoms}=8e) or ionic (8e{C4−ion}+4 × 0e{4H+ions}=8e) model.

This sequence relies on the facilitated, in-situ conversion of a ruthenium carbene species (Ru=C) to a ruthenium hydride species (Ru-H) upon addition of an inorganic hydride source. Three separate reactions occur within one reaction flask: 1) olefin metathesis of the starting phenylpropene to yield phenylpropene dimer via Ru=C catalyst, 2) conversion of Ru=C to Ru-H via addition of an inorganic hydride source, 3) isomerization of phenylpropene dimer via insertion and β-hydride elimination to yield conjugated product.

College of pharmacy, Almuthanna University *Corresponding Author: Dr. Noor Thamer Abbas Al Saadi, College of pharmacy, Almuthanna University Email: [email protected] Abstract: Cross-coupling reactions consist of reactions between an electrophilic organic species such as a halide or a pseudohalide (triflate, tosylate, mesylate) (R1-X) and an organometallic reagent (R2-M; M = Mg, Li, Cu, Zn, Al, B and Si). These reactions are catalyzed by a metal transition complex based on nickel or palladium, and result in the formation of new CClO.sub.2 bonds. Many cross-coupling reactions have thus been developed in about twenty years, by varying the nature of the electrophile, organometallic reagent and transition metal (Scheme 1). The most commonly used coupling reactions involve palladium as a transition metal, and the diversity of these reactions is based on the type of organometallic used, based on aluminum, zinc or zirconium (Negishi coupling), [1] boron (Suzuki coupling), [2] magnesium (Kumada coupling), [3] tin (Stille coupling) , [4] or silicon (coupling of Hiyama) .[5] The development of this type of reaction allowed Richard Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi and Akira Suzuki to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2010.[1].

The catalyst was highly effective for the chain-growth polymerization of a 3-alkylthiophene monomer using a Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling. The catalyst is particularly effective for this polymerization in the presence of excess free ligand. The unsymmetrical diphosphine nickel complex reported here represents a new approach to tuning metal-ligand reactivity in the chain-growth polymerization of aromatic monomers.
