[2,2′-Bipyridin]-6(1H)-one, a Truly Cooperating Ligand in the Palladium-Mediated C–H Activation Step: Experimental Evidence in the Direct C-3 Arylation of Pyridine
Producción CientíficaThe ligand [2,2′-bipyridin]-6(1H)-one (bipy-6-OH) has a strong accelerating effect on the Pd- catalyzed direct arylation of pyridine or arenes. The isolation of relevant intermediates and the study of their decomposition unequivocally show that the deprotonated coordinated ligand acts as a base and assists the cleavage of the C−H bond. Mechanistic work indicates that the direct arylation of pyridine with this ligand occurs through a Pd(0)/Pd(II) cycle. Because of this dual ligand− intramolecular base role, there is no need for an available coordination site on the metal for an external base, a difficulty encountered when chelating ligands are used in coupling reactions that involve a C−H cleavage step.MINECO (SGPI, grant CTQ2016-80913-P, BES-2014- 067770 fellowship to A.T.)Junta de Castilla y Leoń (grants VA062G18 and VA051P17)Universidad de Valladolid (fellowship to V.S.)
A cooperative Pd-Cu system for direct C-H bond arylation
The authors are grateful to the Royal Society (University Research Fellowship to CSJC) for financial support.A novel and efficient method for C-H arylation using well-defined Pd- and Cu-NHC systems has been developed. This process promotes the challenging construction of C-C bonds from arenes or heteroarenes using aryl bromides and chlorides. Mechanistic studies show that [Cu(OH)(NHC)] plays a key role in the C-H activation and is involved in the transmetallation with the Pd-NHC co-catalyst.Publisher PDFPeer reviewe

Novel rigid 8-biaryl-2'-deoxyadenosines with tuneable fluorescent properties can be accessed by an efficient sequential catalytic Pd-0-coupling approach
Synthesis of novel room temperature chiral ionic liquids. application as reaction media for the heck arylation of aza-endocyclic acrylates.
New achiral and chiral RTILs were prepared using novel and/or optimized synthetic routes. These new series of imidazolinium, imidazolium, pyridinium and nicotine-derived ionic liquids were fully characterized including differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. The performance of these achiral and chiral room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) was demonstrated by means of the Heck arylation of endocyclic acrylates employing arenediazonium salts and aryl iodides. The Heck arylations performed in the presence of these ionic entities, either as a solvent or as an additive, were effective leading to complete conversion of the substrate and good to excellent yield of the Heck adduct. In spite of the good performances, no asymmetric induction was observed in any of the cases studied. Two new diastereoisomeric NHC-palladium complexes were prepared in good yields from a chiral imidazolium salt and their structure characterized by X-ray diffraction. Overall, the Heck arylations employing arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates in RTILs were more effective than the traditional protocols employing aryl iodides in terms of reactivity and yields

Palladium-Catalyzed Oxidation of β-C(sp3)-H Bonds of Primary Alkylamines through a Rare Four-Membered Palladacycle Intermediate.
Site-selective functionalizations of C-H bonds are often achieved with a directing group that leads to five- or six-membered metallacyclic intermediates. Analogous reactions that occur through four-membered metallacycles are rare. We report a challenging palladium-catalyzed oxidation of primary C-H bonds β to nitrogen in an imine of an aliphatic amine, a process that occurs through a four-membered palladacyclc intermediate. The success of the reaction relies on the identification, by H/D exchange, of a simple directing group (salicylaldehyde) capable of inducing the formation of this small ring. To gain insight into the steps of the catalytic cycle of this unusual oxidation reaction, a series of mechanistic experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted. The experimental studies showed that cleavage of the C-H bond is rate-limiting and formation of the strained four-membered palladacycle is thermodynamically uphill. DFT calculations corroborated these conclusions and suggested that the presence of an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the oxygen of the directing group and hydroxyl group of the ligating acetic acid is crucial for stabilization of the palladacyclic intermediate
Copper-Catalyzed Arylation of 1\u3cem\u3eH\u3c/em\u3e-Perfluoroalkanes
A general method has been developed for arylation of readily available 1H-perfluoroalkanes. The method employs aryl iodide and 1H-perfluoroalkane reagents, DMPU solvent, TMP2Zn base, and a copper chloride/phenanthroline catalyst. Preliminary mechanistic studies are reported
Synthesis of hetero-bifunctional, end-capped oligo-EDOT derivatives
Conjugated oligomers of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) are attractive materials for tissue engineering applications, and as model systems for studying the properties of the widely used polymer PEDOT. We report here the facile synthesis of a series of keto-acid end-capped oligo-EDOT derivatives (n = 2-7) through a combination of a glyoxylation end capping strategy and iterative direct arylation chain extension. Importantly, these structures not only represent the longest oligo-EDOTs reported, but are also bench stable in contrast to previous reports on such oligomers. The constructs reported here can undergo subsequent derivatization for integration into higher order architectures, such as those required for tissue engineering applications. The synthesis of hetero-bifunctional constructs, as well as those containing mixed monomer units is also reported, allowing further complexity to be installed in a controlled manner. Finally, we describe the optical and electrochemical properties of these oligomers and demonstrate the importance of the keto-acid in determining their characteristics
A dual catalytic strategy for carbon-phosphorus cross-coupling via gold and photoredox catalysis.
A new method for the P-arylation of aryldiazonium salts with H-phosphonates via dual gold and photoredox catalysis is described. The reaction proceeds smoothly at room temperature in the absence of base and/or additives, and offers an efficient approach to arylphosphonates. The reaction is proposed to proceed through a photoredox-promoted generation of an electrophilic arylgold(III) intermediate that undergoes coupling with the H-phosphonate nucleophile
para-Selective C-H amidation of simple arenes with nitriles
A para-selective C-H amidation of simple arenes with nitriles has been developed. By increasing the amount of arenes, a further meta-selective C-H arylation of the produced amides occurred. Both steric and electronic effects are utilized to control the selectivity, resulting in only para-selective amidation products. The readily available nitriles as amidation reagents instead of amides makes the synthesis of N-arylamides more accessible
