A new air and moisture stable PEPPSI (PEPPSI: pyridine-enhanced pre-catalyst preparation, stabilisation, and initiation) themed palladium N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex [Pd(L)Br2(Py)] (1) [L: 2-flurobenzyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-imidazolline-2-ylidene] was synthesized and characterized. The structure of complex 1 was determined by X-ray single-crystal analysis. The palladium center in 1 adopted a square planar geometry with carbene and pyridine ligands occupying the mutual trans position. The complex 1 was employed to catalyze the Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling reactions of aryl bromides/iodides with styrene in water. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report where a Pd-PEPPSI catalyst was successfully employed in aqueous-phase Mizoroki-Heck reaction. Good to excellent yields of cross-coupling products were obtained with a range of representative aryl bromides/iodides under relatively mild conditions (100 °C, 1 mol% of 1). Keywords.

Received: 28 September 2020; Accepted: 30 September 2020; Published: 1 October 2020 Cross-coupling reactions stand among the most important reactions in chemistry [1,2]. Nowadays, they are a highly valuable synthetic tool used for the preparation of a wide variety of organic compounds, from natural and synthetic bioactive compounds to new organic materials, in all fields of chemistry [3]. Almost 50 years from its discovery, the research in this topic remains active, and important progresses are accomplished every year. For this reason, we believe that a Special Issue on this topic is of general interest for the chemistry community. Advances in cross-coupling reactions have been developed with the aim to expand the synthetic utility of the methodology, through the involvement of new components, reaction conditions, and therefore, novel synthetic applications [4]. Although initially the term “cross-coupling” referred to the reaction of an organometallic reagent with an unsaturated organic halide or pseudohalide under transition metal catalysis, currently the definition is much more general and applies to reactions involving other components, conditions, and more complex synthetic transformations. In addition to the well-known and recognized cross-coupling reactions using organoboron (Suzuki-Miyaura), organotin (Stille), organozinc (Negishi), or organosilicon (Hiyama) nucleophiles, reactions involving other organometallic reagents such as organoindium [5,6], organolithium [7], and Grignard reagents [8] are now useful synthetic alternatives.

Box 36, Muscat 123, Oman; [email protected]; Tel.: +968-2414-1473 Abstract: Cross-coupling reactions furnishing carbon–carbon (C–C) and carbon–heteroatom (C–X) bond is one of the most challenging tasks in organic syntheses. The early developed reaction protocols by Ullmann, Ullman–Goldberg, Cadiot–Chodkiewicz, Castro–Stephens, and Corey–House, utilizing elemental copper or its salts as catalyst have, for decades, attracted and inspired scientists. However, these reactions were suffering from the range of functional groups tolerated as well as severely restricted by the harsh reaction conditions often required high temperatures (150–200 ◦C) for extended reaction time. Enormous efforts have been paid to develop and achieve more sustainable reaction conditions by applying the microwave irradiation. The use of controlled microwave heating dramatically reduces the time required and therefore resulting in increase in the yield as well as the efficiency of the reaction. This review is mainly focuses on the recent advances and applications of copper catalyzed cross-coupling generation of carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bond under microwave technology.

  • Palladium-Catalyzed Biaryl Coupling Using PEPPSI Under Aqueous Microwave Conditions
    Palladium-Catalyzed Biaryl Coupling Using PEPPSI Under Aqueous Microwave Conditions Introduction The 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Richard Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi, and Akira Suzuki for their contributions to the use of palladium-catalyzed cross coupling in organic synthesis.1 Each recipient of the prize developed a variant on the theme of forming a carbon- carbon bond between an aromatic compound (usually an aryl halide) and another aryl, vinyl, or alkynyl compound (Equation 1). (1) The reaction we will be focusing on in this lab is palladium-catalyzed biaryl coupling between an aryl halide and phenylboronic acid, commonly known as Suzuki Coupling. Since its discovery in the late 1970s,2 literally hundreds of ways have been developed to conduct this reaction under various conditions and with controllable selectivity.3 Regardless of which flavor of palladium catalyzed cross-coupling you choose to carry out, first step in the general cross-coupling mechanism is the same (Scheme 1). Starting with a palladium(0) species supported by some (usually strong field) ligand, the first Pd-R bond is formed through the oxidative addition of R-X to the metal atom, generating a Pd(II) compound. In Suzuki coupling, a Scheme 1. Suzuki Coupling Mechanism second Pd-C bond is then formed through transmetalation of an ’ activated R -BY2 species, resulting in a Pd(II) diaryl compound. Reductive elimination of a R-R’ species regenerates the Pd(0) compound and the cycle can begin again. There are many bases that can be used to activate the boronic acid or boronic ester, including potassium tert-butoxide, cesium carbonate, and cesium fluoride.

Catalytic methods for ketone synthesis are continually being developed. Here, we report a photoredox, nickel and phosphoranyl radical synergistic 1234567890():,; cross-electrophile coupling of commercially available chemicals, aromatic acids and aryl/alkyl bromides. This allows for concise synthesis of highly functionalized ketones directly, without the preparation of activated carbonyl intermediates or organometallic compounds, and thus complements the conventional Weinreb ketone synthesis. Use of the appropriate photo- catalyst, ligand amount and solvents can match the reaction rate required by any simple catalytic cycle. The practicality and synthetic robustness of the reaction are illustrated by the facile synthesis of complex ketones from readily available feedstock chemicals. 1 State Key Laboratory of Coordination Chemistry, Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Advanced Organic Materials, Chemistry and Biomedicine Innovation Center (ChemBIC), School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Nanjing University, Nanjing 210023, China. 2 College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering, ✉ Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou 450001, China. 3These authors contributed equally: Rehanguli Ruzi, Kai Liu. email: [email protected] NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | (2020) 11:3312 | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-17224-2 | www.nature.com/naturecommunications 1 ARTICLE NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-17224-2 etones play a prominent role in organic chemistry.

  • Parameterization of Phosphine Ligands Demonstrates Enhancement of Nickel Catalysis Via Remote Steric Effects Kevin Wu and Abigail G
    ARTICLES PUBLISHED ONLINE: 6 MARCH 2017 | DOI: 10.1038/NCHEM.2741 Parameterization of phosphine ligands demonstrates enhancement of nickel catalysis via remote steric effects Kevin Wu and Abigail G. Doyle* The field of Ni-catalysed cross-coupling has seen rapid recent growth because of the low cost of Ni, its earth abundance, and its ability to promote unique cross-coupling reactions. Whereas advances in the related field of Pd-catalysed cross-coupling have been driven by ligand design, the development of ligands specifically for Ni has received minimal attention. Here, we disclose a class of phosphines that enable the Ni-catalysed Csp3 Suzuki coupling of acetals with boronic acids to generate benzylic ethers, a reaction that failed with known ligands for Ni and designer phosphines for Pd. Using parameters to quantify phosphine steric and electronic properties together with regression statistical analysis, we identify a model for ligand success. The study suggests that effective phosphines feature remote steric hindrance, a concept that could guide future ligand design tailored to Ni. Our analysis also reveals that two classic descriptors for ligand steric environment—cone angle and % buried volume—are not equivalent, despite their treatment in the literature. ver the past 50 years, Pd-catalysed cross-coupling has partners17. In this context, our group reported Ni-catalysed Suzuki evolved to become one of the most useful strategies for couplings of N,O-acetals and O,O-acetals that deliver 2-arylated – – – 1 18,19 Ocarbon carbon (C C) and C heteroatom bond formation . heterocycles using triphenylphosphine (PPh3) as a ligand .A The development of new ligands for Pd has been arguably the mechanistic study suggested a pathway involving boroxine-assisted most important contributor to the advancement of these ionization of the acetals followed by Ni-catalysed coupling of the methods, enabling reactions with a broad range of substrates resulting iminium or oxocarbenium ions20.
