- Unreactive C-N Bond Activation of Anilines via Photoinduced Aerobic Borylation
-
Unreactive C-N bond activation of anilines was achieved by photoinduced aerobic borylation. A diverse range of tertiary and secondary anilines were converted to aryl boronate esters in moderate to good yields with wide functional group tolerance under simple and ambient photochemical conditions. This transformation achieved the direct and facile C-N bond activation of unreactive anilines, providing a convenient and practical route transforming widely available anilines into useful aryl boronate esters.

- Radical C?H Trifluoromethoxylation of (Hetero)arenes with Bis(trifluoromethyl)peroxide
-
Trifluoromethoxylated (hetero)arenes are of great interest for several disciplines, especially in agro- and medicinal chemistry. Radical C?H trifluoromethoxylation of (hetero)arenes represents an attractive approach to prepare such compounds, but the high cost and low atom economy of existing .OCF3 radical sources make them unsuitable for the large-scale synthesis of trifluoromethoxylated building blocks. Herein, we introduce bis(trifluoromethyl)peroxide (BTMP, CF3OOCF3) as a practical and efficient trifluoromethoxylating reagent that is easily accessible from inexpensive bulk chemicals. Using either visible light photoredox or TEMPO catalysis, trifluoromethoxylated arenes could be prepared in good yields under mild conditions directly from unactivated aromatics. Moreover, TEMPO catalysis allowed for the one-step synthesis of valuable pyridine derivatives, which have been previously prepared via multi-step approaches.

- Cross-Coupling through Ag(I)/Ag(III) Redox Manifold
-
In ample variety of transformations, the presence of silver as an additive or co-catalyst is believed to be innocuous for the efficiency of the operating metal catalyst. Even though Ag additives are required often as coupling partners, oxidants or halide scavengers, its role as a catalytically competent species is widely neglected in cross-coupling reactions. Most likely, this is due to the erroneously assumed incapacity of Ag to undergo 2e? redox steps. Definite proof is herein provided for the required elementary steps to accomplish the oxidative trifluoromethylation of arenes through AgI/AgIII redox catalysis (i. e. CEL coupling), namely: i) easy AgI/AgIII 2e? oxidation mediated by air; ii) bpy/phen ligation to AgIII; iii) boron-to-AgIII aryl transfer; and iv) ulterior reductive elimination of benzotrifluorides from an [aryl-AgIII-CF3] fragment. More precisely, an ultimate entry and full characterization of organosilver(III) compounds [K]+[AgIII(CF3)4]? (K-1), [(bpy)AgIII(CF3)3] (2) and [(phen)AgIII(CF3)3] (3), is described. The utility of 3 in cross-coupling has been showcased unambiguously, and a large variety of arylboron compounds was trifluoromethylated via [AgIII(aryl)(CF3)3]? intermediates. This work breaks with old stereotypes and misconceptions regarding the inability of Ag to undergo cross-coupling by itself.

- Transformations of Aryl Ketones via Ligand-Promoted C?C Bond Activation
-
The coupling of aromatic electrophiles (aryl halides, aryl ethers, aryl acids, aryl nitriles etc.) with nucleophiles is a core methodology for the synthesis of aryl compounds. Transformations of aryl ketones in an analogous manner via carbon–carbon bond activation could greatly expand the toolbox for the synthesis of aryl compounds due to the abundance of aryl ketones. An exploratory study of this approach is typically based on carbon–carbon cleavage triggered by ring-strain release and chelation assistance, and the products are also limited to a specific structural motif. Here we report a ligand-promoted β-carbon elimination strategy to activate the carbon–carbon bonds, which results in a range of transformations of aryl ketones, leading to useful aryl borates, and also to biaryls, aryl nitriles, and aryl alkenes. The use of a pyridine-oxazoline ligand is crucial for this catalytic transformation. A gram-scale borylation reaction of an aryl ketone via a simple one-pot operation is reported. The potential utility of this strategy is also demonstrated by the late-stage diversification of drug molecules probenecid, adapalene, and desoxyestrone, the fragrance tonalid as well as the natural product apocynin.

- Hydride Transfer Enables the Nickel-Catalyzed ipso-Borylation and Silylation of Aldehydes

Nickel-catalyzed ipso-borylations and silylations of aldehydes are described for the first time. The new functional-group interconversion protocol is characterized by its scalability, functional-group tolerance and wide substrate scope, including examples of late-stage functionalization of complex molecules. The key for the successful reaction outcome is the use of a ketone as a hydride acceptor that intercepts the nickel hydride to undergo a reductive pathway, thus allowing formation of the desired C?B and C?Si bonds.

We report the development of photoredox-catalyzed and copper-promoted trifluoromethoxylation of arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates, with trifluoromethyl arylsulfonate (TFMS) as the trifluoromethoxylation reagent. This new method takes advantage of visible-light photoredox catalysis to generate the aryl radical under mild conditions, combined with copper-promoted selective trifluoromethoxylation. The reaction is scalable, tolerates a wide range of functional groups, and proceeds regioselectively under mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, mechanistic studies suggested that a Cs[Cu(OCF3)2] intermediate might be generated during the reaction.

- Palladium-Catalyzed Decarbonylative Borylation of Carboxylic Acids: Tuning Reaction Selectivity by Computation
-
Decarbonylative borylation of carboxylic acids is reported. Carbon electrophiles are generated directly after reagent-enabled decarbonylation of the in situ accessible sterically-hindered acyl derivative of a carboxylic acid under catalyst controlled conditions. The scope and the potential impact of this method are demonstrated in the selective borylation of a variety of aromatics (>50 examples). This strategy was used in the late-stage derivatization of pharmaceuticals and natural products. Computations reveal the mechanistic details of the unprecedented C?O bond activation of carboxylic acids. By circumventing the challenging decarboxylation, this strategy provides a general synthetic platform to access arylpalladium species for a wide array of bond formations from abundant carboxylic acids. The study shows a powerful combination of experiment and computation to predict decarbonylation selectivity.

A simple trifluoromethoxylation method enables non-directed functionalization of C?H bonds on a range of substrates, providing access to aryl trifluoromethyl ethers. This light-driven process is distinctly different from conventional procedures and occurs through an OCF3 radical mechanism mediated by a photoredox catalyst, which triggers an N?O bond fragmentation. The pyridinium-based trifluoromethoxylation reagent is bench-stable and provides access to synthetic diversity in lead compounds in an operationally simple manner.

- Efficient Rh-catalyzed C-H borylation of arene derivatives under photochemical conditions
-
Photocatalysis allows innovations in organic synthesis. Among the various catalytic reactions, CH-functionalizations offer valuable possibilities for the refinement of easily available building blocks. In this respect, catalytic borylation is of interest, too. So far, most of the catalytic borylation reactions are performed under thermal conditions at comparably high temperatures. Here, we describe a new synthetic route for efficient borylation reactions of arenes using a photocatalytic pathway. This novel approach allows the synthesis of a broad variety of borylated arenes and heteroarenes under mild conditions. Applying trans-[Rh(PMe3)2(CO)Cl] as an active photocatalyst and HBPin as an boron source, we achieved high TON. A catalytic cycle that relies on a Rh(i)-Rh(iii) interconversion is proposed.

- Rhodium-catalyzed borylation of aryl 2-pyridyl ethers through cleavage of the carbon-oxygen bond: Borylative removal of the directing group
-
The rhodium-catalyzed reaction of aryl 2-pyridyl ethers with a diboron reagent results in the formation of arylboronic acid derivatives via activation of the C(aryl)-O bonds. The straightforward synthesis of 1,2-disubstituted arenes was enabled through catalytic ortho C-H bond functionalization directed by the 2-pyridyloxy group followed by substitution of this group with a boryl group. Several control experiments revealed that the presence of a sp2 nitrogen atom at the 2-position of the substrate and the use of a boron-based reagent were crucial for the activation of the relatively inert C(aryl)-O bond of aryl 2-pyridyl ethers.
