- Stereoconvergent arylations and alkenylations of unactivated alkyl electrophiles: Catalytic enantioselective synthesis of secondary sulfonamides and sulfones
-
The development of efficient methods for the generation of enantioenriched sulfonamides and sulfones is an important objective for fields such as organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry; however, there have been relatively few reports of direct catalytic asymmetric approaches to controlling the stereochemistry of the sulfur-bearing carbon of such targets. In this report, we describe nickel-catalyzed stereoconvergent Negishi arylations and alkenylations of racemic α-bromosulfonamides and -sulfones that furnish the desired cross-coupling product in very good ee and yield for an array of reaction partners. Mechanistic studies are consistent with the generation of a radical intermediate that has a sufficient lifetime to diffuse out of the solvent cage and to cyclize onto a pendant olefin.

- Electrochemical Synthesis of Biaryls via Oxidative Intramolecular Coupling of Tetra(hetero)arylborates
-
We report herein versatile, transition metal-free and additive-free (hetero)aryl-aryl coupling reactions promoted by the oxidative electrocoupling of unsymmetrical tetra(hetero)arylborates (TABs) prepared from ligand-exchange reactions on potassium trifluoroarylborates. Exploiting the power of electrochemical oxidations, this method complements the existing organoboron toolbox. We demonstrate the broad scope, scalability, and robustness of this unconventional catalyst-free transformation, leading to functionalized biaryls and ultimately furnishing drug-like small molecules, as well as late stage derivatization of natural compounds. In addition, the observed selectivity of the oxidative coupling reaction is related to the electronic structure of the TABs through quantum-chemical calculations and experimental investigations.

- Mechanochemical Activation of Zinc and Application to Negishi Cross-Coupling
-
A form independent activation of zinc, concomitant generation of organozinc species and engagement in a Negishi cross-coupling reaction via mechanochemical methods is reported. The reported method exhibits a broad substrate scope for both C(sp3)–C(sp2) and C(sp2)–C(sp2) couplings and is tolerant to many important functional groups. The method may offer broad reaching opportunities for the in situ generation organometallic compounds from base metals and their concomitant engagement in synthetic reactions via mechanochemical methods.

- Single-electron-transfer-induced coupling of arylzinc reagents with aryl and alkenyl halides
-
Arylzinc reagents, prepared from aryl halides/zinc powder or aryl Grignard reagents/zinc chloride, were found to undergo coupling with aryl and alkenyl halides without the aid of transition-metal catalysis to give biaryls and styrene derivatives, respectively. In this context, we have already reported the corresponding reaction using aryl Grignard reagents instead of arylzinc reagents. Compared with the Grignard cross-coupling, the present reaction features high functional-group tolerance, whereby electrophilic groups such as alkoxycarbonyl and cyano groups are compatible as substituents on both the arylzinc reagents and the aryl halides. Aryl halides receive a single electron and thereby become activated as the corresponding anion radicals, which react with arylzinc reagents, thus leading to the cross-coupling products. Arylzinc reagents were found to undergo coupling with aryl and alkenyl halides to give biaryl and styrene derivatives, respectively. The cross-coupling, which features high functional-group tolerance, proceeds through a single-electron-transfer mechanism and thus does not require the aid of transition-metal catalysis.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Insider dealing: A wide range of poly-functional (hetero)aromatic and aliphatic zinc reagents can be easily prepared in THF. The compounds are formed by a Zn insertion reaction mediated by the addition of LiCl (see scheme; All = allyl).

- New chemical synthesis of functionalized arylzinc compounds from aromatic or thienyl bromides under mild conditions using a simple cobalt catalyst and zinc dust
-
A new chemical method for the preparation of arylzinc intermediates is described in acetonitrile, on the basis of the activation of aryl bromides by low-valent cobalt species arising from the reduction of cobalt halide by zinc dust. This procedure allows for the synthesis of a variety of functionalized aryl- and thienylzinc species in good to excellent yields. The versatility and the simplicity of that original method represent an alternative to most known procedures.
