- Gold Catalysts Can Generate Nitrone Intermediates from a Nitrosoarene/Alkene Mixture, Enabling Two Distinct Catalytic Reactions: A Nitroso-Activated Cycloheptatriene/Benzylidene Rearrangement
-
Gold-catalyzed reactions of cycloheptatrienes with nitrosoarenes yield nitrone derivatives efficiently. This reaction sequence enables us to develop gold-catalyzed aerobic oxidations of cycloheptatrienes to afford benzaldehyde derivatives using CuCl and nitrosoarenes as co-catalysts (10-30 mol %). Our density functional theory calculations support a novel nitroso-activated rearrangement, tropylium → benzylidene. With the same nitrosoarenes, we developed their gold-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 1]-annulations between nitrosobenzene and two enol ethers to yield 5-alkoxyisoxazolidines using 1,4-cyclohexadienes as hydrogen donors.

- Pd-catalyzed oxidative homocoupling of arylboronic acids in WEPA: A sustainable access to symmetrical biaryls under added base and ligand-free ambient conditions
-
Symmetrical and unsymmetrical biaryls comprises a diverse class of biologically eloquent organic compounds. We herein report, a quick and eco-friendly protocol for the synthesis of biaryls by an oxidative (aerobic) homocoupling of arylboronic acids (ABAs) using Pd(OAc)2 in water extract of pomogranate ash (WEPA) as an efficient agro-waste(bio)-derived aqueous (basic) media. The reactions were executed at ambient aerobic conditions in the absence of external base and ligand to result symmetrical biaryls in excellent yields. The use of renewable media with an effective exploitation of waste, short reaction times, excellent yields of products, easy separation of the products, unnecessating the external base, oxidant, ligand or volatile organic solvents and ambient reaction conditions are the vital insights of the present protocol.

- Metal-Free Aryl Cross-Coupling Directed by Traceless Linkers
-
The metal-free, highly selective synthesis of biaryls poses a major challenge in organic synthesis. The scope and mechanism of a promising new approach to (hetero)biaryls by the photochemical fusion of aryl substituents tethered to a traceless sulfonamide linker (photosplicing) are reported. Interrogating photosplicing with varying reaction conditions and comparison of diverse synthetic probes (40 examples, including a suite of heterocycles) showed that the reaction has a surprisingly broad scope and involves neither metals nor radicals. Quantum chemical calculations revealed that the C?C bond is formed by an intramolecular photochemical process that involves an excited singlet state and traversal of a five-membered transition state, and thus consistent ipso–ipso coupling results. These results demonstrate that photosplicing is a unique aryl cross-coupling method in the excited state that can be applied to synthesize a broad range of biaryls.

- Palladium(II) chalcogenolate complexes as catalysts for CC cross-coupling and carbonylative Suzuki coupling reactions
-
The catalytic activity of palladium chalcogenolate complexes, [PdCl(ECH2CH2NMe2)]3 (E = S or Se), [PdCl(ECH2CH2CH2NMe2)]2 and [PdCl(SeCH2CH2NMe2)(PPh3)] has been investigated in carbonylative Suzuki coupling reactions. The phosphine complex has also been used as a catalyst in CC cross coupling reactions involving an aryl halide and either triaryl bismuth or aryl boronic acid (Suzuki coupling). The catalytic system was also explored for other carbonylation reactions including carbonylative Sonogashira coupling and amino carbonylation reaction. The phosphine complex showed better activity in carbonylative Suzuki coupling reactions than dimeric and trimeric complexes. All the complexes showed comparable activity in Suzuki coupling reactions.

- SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING THE REACTIVITY OF BORONIC ACIDS
-
A protected organoboronic acid includes a boron having an sp3 hybridization, a conformationally rigid protecting group bonded to the boron, and an organic group bonded to the boron through a boron-carbon bond. A method of performing a chemical reaction includes contacting a protected organoboronic acid with a reagent, the protected organoboronic acid including a boron having an sp3 hybridization, a conformationally rigid protecting group bonded to the boron, and an organic group bonded to the boron through a boron-carbon bond. The organic group is chemically transformed, and the boron is not chemically transformed.
