- Palladium-Catalyzed Decarbonylative Iodination of Aryl Carboxylic Acids Enabled by Ligand-Assisted Halide Exchange
-
We report an efficient and broadly applicable palladium-catalyzed iodination of inexpensive and abundant aryl and vinyl carboxylic acids via in situ activation to the acid chloride and formation of a phosphonium salt. The use of 1-iodobutane as iodide source in combination with a base and a deoxychlorinating reagent gives access to a wide range of aryl and vinyl iodides under Pd/Xantphos catalysis, including complex drug-like scaffolds. Stoichiometric experiments and kinetic analysis suggest a unique mechanism involving C?P reductive elimination to form the Xantphos phosphonium chloride, which subsequently initiates an unusual halogen exchange by outer sphere nucleophilic substitution.

- Water-Dispersible Pd–N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complex Immobilized on Magnetic Nanoparticles as a New Heterogeneous Catalyst for Fluoride-Free Hiyama, Suzuki–Miyaura and Cyanation Reactions in Aqueous Media
-
Abstract: Pd–N-heterocyclic carbine complex immobilized on magnetic nanoparticles is synthesized and characterized by different techniques such as FT-IR, XPS, TEM, EDX, FESEM, VSM, TGA, and ICP. The synthesized catalyst was used as a new water dispersible heterogeneous catalyst in the fluoride-free Hiyama, Suzuki–Miyaura and cyanation reactions in pure water. By this method, different types of biaryls and aryl nitriles were synthesized in good to high yields by the reaction of a variety of aryl iodides, bromides and chlorides with triethoxyphenylsilane, phenylboronic acid and K4[Fe(CN)6]·3H2O, respectively. The presence of sulfonates as hydrophilic groups on the surface of the catalyst confers a highly water dispersible, active and yet magnetically recoverable Pd catalyst. The possibility to perform the reaction in water as a green medium, ease of the catalyst recovery and reuse by magnetic separation, and the absence of any additives or co-solvents make this method as an eco-friendly and economical protocol for the synthesis of biaryl derivatives and aryl nitriles. Graphic Abstract: A new water dispersible heterogeneous Pd–N-heterocyclic carbene for the efficient fluoride-free Hiyama, Suzuki–Miyaura and cyanation reactions in pure water is developed.[Figure not available: see fulltext.].

- Pd@CeO2-catalyzed cyanation of aryl iodides with K4Fe(CN)6·3H2O under visible light irradiation
-
Cyanation of aryl iodides is still challenging work for chemical researchers because of harsh reaction conditions and toxic cyanide sources. Herein, we have developed a new protocol based on the combination of the catalyst Pd@CeO2, nontoxic cyanide source K4[Fe (CN)6]·3H2O, and driving force visible light irradiation. The reaction is operated at relatively moderate temperature (55°C) and exhibits good catalytic efficiency of product aryl nitriles (yields of 89.4%). Moreover, the catalyst Pd@CeO2 possesses good reusability with a slight loss of photocatalytic activity after five consecutive runs. The reaction system based on the above combination shows a wide range of functional group tolerance under the same conditions. Reaction conditions such as temperature, time, the component of catalyst, and solutions are optimized by studying cyanation of 1-iodo-4-nitrobenzene as model reaction. According to these results, the possible mechanism of Pd@CeO2-catalyzed cyanation of aryl iodides under visible light irradiation is proposed based on the influence of visible light on the catalyst and reactant compounds. In all, we provided an environmental and economic method for preparation of aryl nitriles from cyanation of aryl iodides based on the goal of green chemistry for sustainable development.

- Highly Efficient Oxidative Cyanation of Aldehydes to Nitriles over Se,S,N-tri-Doped Hierarchically Porous Carbon Nanosheets
-
Oxidative cyanation of aldehydes provides a promising strategy for the cyanide-free synthesis of organic nitriles. Design of robust and cost-effective catalysts is the key for this route. Herein, we designed a series of Se,S,N-tri-doped carbon nanosheets with a hierarchical porous structure (denoted as Se,S,N-CNs-x, x represents the pyrolysis temperature). It was found that the obtained Se,S,N-CNs-1000 was very selective and efficient for oxidative cyanation of various aldehydes including those containing other oxidizable groups into the corresponding nitriles using ammonia as the nitrogen resource below 100 °C. Detailed investigations revealed that the excellent performance of Se,S,N-CNs-1000 originated mainly from the graphitic-N species with lower electron density and synergistic effect between the Se, S, N, and C in the catalyst. Besides, the hierarchically porous structure could also promote the reaction. Notably, the unique feature of this metal-free catalyst is that it tolerated other oxidizable groups, and showed no activity on further reaction of the products, thereby resulting in high selectivity. As far as we know, this is the first work for the synthesis of nitriles via oxidative cyanation of aldehydes over heterogeneous metal-free catalysts.

- Visible-Light-Promoted Metal-Free Synthesis of (Hetero)Aromatic Nitriles from C(sp3)?H Bonds**
-
The metal-free activation of C(sp3)?H bonds to value-added products is of paramount importance in organic synthesis. We report the use of the commercially available organic dye 2,4,6-triphenylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate (TPP) for the conversion of methylarenes to the corresponding aryl nitriles via a photocatalytic process. Applying this methodology, a variety of cyanobenzenes have been synthesized in good to excellent yield under metal- and cyanide-free conditions. We demonstrate the scope of the method with over 50 examples including late-stage functionalization of drug molecules (celecoxib) and complex structures such as l-menthol, amino acids, and cholesterol derivatives. Furthermore, the presented synthetic protocol is applicable for gram-scale reactions. In addition to methylarenes, selected examples for the cyanation of aldehydes, alcohols and oximes are demonstrated as well. Detailed mechanistic investigations have been carried out using time-resolved luminescence quenching studies, control experiments, and NMR spectroscopy as well as kinetic studies, all supporting the proposed catalytic cycle.

- Cu2O-Catalyzed Conversion of Benzyl Alcohols Into Aromatic Nitriles via the Complete Cleavage of the C≡N Triple Bond in the Cyanide Anion
-
Nitrogen transfer from cyanide anion to an aldehyde is emerging as a promising method for the synthesis of aromatic nitriles. However, this method still suffers from a disadvantage that a use of stoichiometric Cu(II) or Cu(I) salts is required to enable the reaction. As we report herein, we overcame this drawback and developed a catalytic method for nitrogen transfer from cyanide anion to an alcohol via the complete cleavage of the C≡N triple bond using phen/Cu2O as the catalyst. The present condition allowed a series of benzyl alcohols to be smoothly converted into aromatic nitriles in moderate to high yields. In addition, the present method could be extended to the conversion of cinnamic alcohol to 3-phenylacrylonitrile.

- Difluorocarbene-Based Cyanation of Aryl Iodides
-
A large number of efficient cyanation methods have been developed because of the wide range of applications of nitriles, but conventional methods usually suffer from the need for a toxic cyanation reagent. Although difluorocarbene chemistry has received increasing attention, the use of difluorocarbene as a sources of the nitrile carbon for nitrile groups remains largely unexplored. We describe a difluorocarbene-based cyanation of aryl iodides promoted by a cheap copper source, Cu(NO 3) 2 ·2.5H 2 O, under an air atmosphere. Ph 3 P + CF 2 CO 2-, an easily available and shelf-stable difluorocarbene reagent, and NaNH 2 are used as the carbon source and the nitrogen source for the nitrile group, respectively. The cyanation protocol is attractive because no toxic reagent is used and performing the reactions under an air atmosphere is operationally convenient.

- Method for catalyzing deaminized boric acid esterification or halogenation of arylamine
-
The invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis and in particular discloses a method for catalyzing deaminized boric acid esterification or halogenation of arylamine. The method comprises the following steps: putting arylamine and a nitroso type compound into a mixed solvent, and performing a reaction at 0-5 DEG; and further adding a raw material capable of providing a functionalization group A and a catalysis amount of a reaction accelerator, and performing deamination functionalization reaction under light radiation at 10-50 DEG C, so as to obtain a product that an amino site of the arylamine is modified by the functionalization group A. Due to synergetic control on substrates, reaction solvents, material mixing modes, temperatures, reaction accelerators and addition amounts, boric acid esterification or halogenation of arylamine, particularly electron donating substituted arylamine which is hard to treat effectively in technical schemes of the industry, can be achieved.

- An Insight into Nitromethane as an Organic Nitrile Alternative Source towards the Synthesis of Aryl Nitriles
-
Directed by an unusual in situ reduction of CuII, our protocol is a simple CuI-mediated synthesis of aryl nitriles, with inexpensive and readily available nitromethane as the cyanating source, in moderate to good yields. Exhibiting a wide substrate scope, the method involves simple reaction conditions, is additive free with low catalyst loading. The plausible mechanism of cyanation of aryl halides is elucidated by a congregation of three cycles, namely the in situ reduction of CuII species by nitromethane, generation of HCN species from nitromethane and a regular organometallic pathway which releases the nitrile derivative. The detail of the mechanism of generation of CN– from nitromethane is computationally validated. Our protocol holds the distinction of involving a rarely encountered CuI catalytic species as well as facile in situ generation of nucleophilic CN– to yield synthetically useful aromatic nitriles.

- Intramolecular alkene hydroamination and degradation of amidines: Divergent behavior of rare earth metal amidinate intermediates
-
Direct N-H addition of amidines to alkenes is a highly valuable but challenging transformation that remains elusive. Now, the intramolecular hydroamidination of N-alkenylamidines is achieved by using a rare earth catalyst, which provides an efficient and atom-economical approach for substituted imidazolines and tetrahydropyrimidines. Moreover, a mild and efficient method for the catalytic degradation of amidines to give amines and nitriles is also developed. Additionally, amidine reconstruction followed by an intramolecular alkene hydroamidination strategy for the synthesis of substituted imidazolines and tetrahydropyrimidines from secondary enamines and inactive amidines has also been established, which may circumvent the need for some unavailable starting materials. The mechanistic studies prove that these reactions proceed via a key lanthanide amidinate intermediate that can undergo substrate- and amine-controlled chemodivergent transformations: intramolecular alkene insertion, nitrile extrusion, amidinate reconstruction, or a combination of the reactions. The results presented here not only demonstrate the synthetic potential and versatility of alkene hydroamidination with substrates, but also provide a good insight into the factors that promote or deter the hydroamidination of alkenes.

- Copper-catalysed aromatic-Finkelstein reactions with amine-based ligand systems
-
A new efficient and low-cost ligand, diethylenetriamine, has been utilised to promote the iodination of 16 different bromo-substrates via the copper catalysed Finkelstein halogen exchange reaction under mild conditions. In contrast to earlier methods, the use of inert atmosphere conditions was not required to obtain high yields and purity. Studies on the speciation of the catalyst in solution indicate rapid disproportionation of copper(i) in the presence of diethylenetriamine to give copper(0) and a bis-ligated copper(ii) complex which is characterised by X-ray diffraction. This copper(ii) complex was also shown to be catalytically active in the halogen exchange reaction. In contrast, no significant disproportionation was observed using dimethylethylenediamine as the ligand, and the solid-state structures of a copper(i) dimeric complex and a 2D polymeric network of copper(i) iodide tetramers are reported. The catalytic activity of diethylenetriamine and dimethylethylenediamine with both copper(i) and copper(ii) salts are compared, and possible mechanistic implications discussed.

- One-Pot, Metal-Free Conversion of Anilines to Aryl Bromides and Iodides
-
A metal-free synthesis of aryl bromides and iodides from anilines via halogen abstraction from bromotrichloromethane and diiodomethane is described. This one-pot reaction affords aryl halides from the corresponding anilines in moderate to excellent yields without isolation of diazonium salts. The transformation has short reaction times, a simple workup, and insensitivity to moisture and air and avoids excess halogenation. DFT calculations support a SRN1 mechanism. This method represents a convenient alternative to the classic Sandmeyer reaction.

- Late stage iodination of biologically active agents using a one-pot process from aryl amines
-
A simple and effective one-pot tandem procedure that generates aryl iodides from readily available aryl amines via stable diazonium salts has been developed. The operationally simple procedure and mild conditions allow late-stage iodination of a wide range of aryl compounds bearing various functional groups and substitution patterns. A novel synthetic strategy involving the preparation of nitroaryl compounds followed by a chemoselective tin(ii) dichloride reduction and the use of the one-pot diazotisation-iodination transformation was also developed. The general applicability of this approach was demonstrated with the preparation of a number of medicinally important compounds including CNS1261, a SPECT imaging agent of the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and IBOX, a compound used to detect amyloid plaques in the brain.

- Transition-Metal-Free Decarboxylative Iodination: New Routes for Decarboxylative Oxidative Cross-Couplings
-
Constructing products of high synthetic value from inexpensive and abundant starting materials is of great importance. Aryl iodides are essential building blocks for the synthesis of functional molecules, and efficient methods for their synthesis from chemical feedstocks are highly sought after. Here we report a low-cost decarboxylative iodination that occurs simply from readily available benzoic acids and I2. The reaction is scalable and the scope and robustness of the reaction is thoroughly examined. Mechanistic studies suggest that this reaction does not proceed via a radical mechanism, which is in contrast to classical Hunsdiecker-type decarboxylative halogenations. In addition, DFT studies allow comparisons to be made between our procedure and current transition-metal-catalyzed decarboxylations. The utility of this procedure is demonstrated in its application to oxidative cross-couplings of aromatics via decarboxylative/C-H or double decarboxylative activations that use I2 as the terminal oxidant. This strategy allows the preparation of biaryls previously inaccessible via decarboxylative methods and holds other advantages over existing decarboxylative oxidative couplings, as stoichiometric transition metals are avoided.

- Trinuclear complexes of palladium(II) with chalcogenated N-heterocyclic carbenes: Catalysis of selective nitrile-primary amide interconversion and Sonogashira coupling
-
3-Methyl-1-(2-(phenylthio/seleno)ethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-3-ium iodide (L1/L2), a precursor of sulfated/selenated N-heterocyclic carbene, was synthesized by the reaction of benzimidazole with 1,2-dichloroethane followed by treatment with PhS/SeNa and MeI. The reaction of L1/L2 with Ag2O followed by treatment with [Pd(CH3CN)2Cl2] (metal to ligand ratio 3:2), i.e. transmetallation, resulted in trinuclear palladium(ii) complexes [Pd3(L1/L2-HI)2(CH3CN)Cl6] (1-2). The complexes were characterized with 1H, 13C{1H} and 77Se{1H} NMR (2 only), elemental analyses, HR-MS and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The geometry of three Pd atoms in each complex is nearly square planar. The Pd-S/Se, Pd-C, Pd-N and Pd-Cl bond distances (?) in 1/2 are 2.3179(19)/2.4312(10), 1.968(7)/1.952(4), 2.073(8)/2.079(4) and 2.2784(19)-2.298(2)/2.292(2)-2.3003(15), respectively. In both the complexes, all Cl are trans to each other. For the central Pd atom, two benzimidazole rings are also trans to each other. The C-H?Cl non-covalent interactions result in a three-dimensional network. The moisture and air insensitive trinuclear Pd(ii) complexes 1 and 2 are thermally stable and efficient as a catalyst for nitrile-amide interconversion and amine-free Sonogashira C-C coupling (in the presence of CuI). The optimum temperature is 80 °C for the interconversion and 110 °C for the coupling. The catalytic protocols are applicable to both aliphatic and aromatic amides/nitriles. The optimum catalyst loading is 1 mol% for the C-C coupling and 0.5 to 1 mol% for the interconversion. K2CO3 as a base gives the best result for Sonogashira C-C coupling. In the conversion of nitriles to amides, the formation of an acid was not detected. After using once, 1/2 can carry out the conversion of ten fresh lots of nitriles to amides with almost the same efficiency. The real catalytic species for the interconversion and coupling appear to be based on Pd(ii) and Pd(0), respectively.

- Copper-catalyzed cyanation of aryl iodides using nitromethane
-
The copper-catalyzed cyanation of aryl iodides is described using nitromethane as a CN source. In situ generation of a “CN” species from nitromethane is plausible. This strategy is an advantageous synthetic method for the construction of an aromatic CCN bond, because nitromethane is a common and easily handled compound that is readily available as a cyanation reagent, and its use allows the avoidance of using toxic metal cyanides.

- Simple and Efficient Generation of Aryl Radicals from Aryl Triflates: Synthesis of Aryl Boronates and Aryl Iodides at Room Temperature
-
Despite the wide use of aryl radicals in organic synthesis, current methods to prepare them from aryl halides, carboxylic acids, boronic acids, and diazonium salts suffer from limitations. Aryl triflates, easily obtained from phenols, are promising aryl radical progenitors but remain elusive in this regard. Inspired by the single electron transfer process for aryl halides to access aryl radicals, we developed a simple and efficient protocol to convert aryl triflates to aryl radicals. Our success lies in exploiting sodium iodide as the soft electron donor assisted by light. This strategy enables the scalable synthesis of two types of important organic molecules, i.e., aryl boronates and aryl iodides, in good to high yields, with broad functional group compatibility in a transition-metal-free manner at room temperature. This protocol is anticipated to find potential applications in other aryl-radical-involved reactions by using aryl triflates as aryl radical precursors.

- Easy Access to Difluoromethylene-Containing Arene Analogues through Palladium-Catalysed C–H Olefination
-
An efficient palladium-catalysed ortho-C–H olefination of α,α-difluorophenylacetic acid derivatives using 8-aminoquinoline as a bidentate directing group has been developed. A range of olefinated arenes can thus be synthesized in a concise way. This reaction provides an easy and straightforward route to a panel of difluoromethylated arene analogues in moderate to good yields, with a satisfactory tolerance of common functional groups. Transformation of the products into a variety of other difluoromethylene-containing compounds demonstrates the utility of this method.

- Using Anilines as Masked Cross-Coupling Partners: Design of a Telescoped Three-Step Flow Diazotization, Iododediazotization, Cross-Coupling Process
-
The conversion of commercially available anilines into biaryl and biarylacetylene products was realized by using a telescoped, three-reactor flow diazotization/iododediazotization/cross-coupling process. The segmented flow stream created by off-gassing during the Sandmeyer sequence was restored to a continuous column of reaction solution by using a specially designed continuous-flow unit controlled by custom software created in-house. The resultant aryl iodide was then combined with a stream of cross-coupling solution that fed into the final reactor. The system proved versatile as modifications to the diazotization/iododediazotization sequence could be made rapidly to account for any substrate specificity (e.g., solubility problems), leading to a wide substrate scope of Suzuki–Miyaura and Sonogashira cross-coupled products.

- Copper-mediated aerobic iodination and perfluoroalkylation of boronic acids with (CF3)2CFI at room temperature
-
The copper-mediated aerobic reactions between the branched (CF3)2CFI and boronic acids (R-B(OH)2) are described. Different from the linear perfluoroalkyl analogs CF3(CF2)nI (n?=?2, 3, 5, 7), (CF3)2CFI reacting with R-B(OH)2at room temperature under air in the presence of catalytic Cu powder provided exclusively the corresponding iodides (R-I), while the aerobic reactions of arylboronic acids with (CF3)2CFI at room temperature in the presence of Cu(OAc)2gave the perfluoroalkylation products (R-CF(CF3)2) in acceptable to moderate yields. The iodination reaction could be further promoted by hydroquinone, the addition of which improved the oxidation ability of (CF3)2CFI and provided the ipso-iodination products in high yields. The perfluoroalkylation was facilitated by the copper carboxylates since the addition of these salts into the reaction mixtures could successfully give rise to Ar-CF(CF3)2.

- Copper-free Sandmeyer cyanation of arenediazonium o-benzenedisulfonimides
-
Arene and heteroarenediazonium o-benzenedisulfonimides can be used as efficient reagents in Sandmeyer cyanation. This work reports such reactions carried out by us under very mild conditions using tetrabutyl ammonium cyanide as a safe cyanide source and, interestingly, without the need for a Cu catalyst. The reactions have given rise to aryl nitriles in good yields (25 examples, average yield 75%). A good amount of o-benzenedisulfonimide was recovered from each reaction and then reused to prepare other salts. Mechanistic insights have allowed us to highlight the fundamental role of the o-benzenedisulfonimide anion as an electron transfer agent.

- Photo-induced Metal-Catalyst-Free Aromatic Finkelstein Reaction
-
The facile iodination of aromatic compounds under mild conditions is a great challenge for both organic and medicinal chemistry. Particularly, the synthesis of functionalized aryl iodides by light has long been considered impossible due to their photo-lability, which actually makes aryl iodides popular starting materials in many photo-substitution reactions. Herein, a photo-induced halogen exchange in aryl or vinyl halides has been discovered for the first time. A broad scope of aryl iodides can be prepared in high yields at room temperature under exceptionally mild conditions without any metal or photo-redox catalysts. The presence of a catalytic amount of elemental iodine could promote the reaction significantly.
