- Stereodivergent Synthesis of Alkenylpyridines via Pd/Cu Catalyzed C-H Alkenylation of Pyridinium Salts with Alkynes
-
The first Pd/Cu catalyzed selective C2-alkenylation of pyridines with internal alkynes has been developed via the pyridinium salt activation strategy. Importantly, the configuration of the product alkenylpyridines could be tuned by the choice of the proper N-alkyl group of the pyridinium salts, thus allowing for both the Z- and E-alkenylpyridines synthesized with good regio- and stereoselectivity. A plausible mechanism was proposed based on the Hammett study and KIE experiment.

- Ruthenium-Catalyzed Reductive Cleavage of Unstrained Aryl-Aryl Bonds: Reaction Development and Mechanistic Study
-
Cleavage of carbon-carbon bonds has been found in some important industrial processes, for example, petroleum cracking, and has inspired development of numerous synthetic methods. However, nonpolar unstrained C(aryl)-C(aryl) bonds remain one of the toughest bonds to be activated. As a detailed study of a fundamental reaction mode, here a full story is described about our development of a Ru-catalyzed reductive cleavage of unstrained C(aryl)-C(aryl) bonds. A wide range of biaryl compounds that contain directing groups (DGs) at 2,2′ positions can serve as effective substrates. Various heterocycles, such as pyridine, quinoline, pyrimidine, and pyrazole, can be employed as DGs. Besides hydrogen gas, other reagents, such as Hantzsch ester, silanes, and alcohols, can be employed as terminal reductants. The reaction is pH neutral and free of oxidants; thus a number of functional groups are tolerated. Notably, a one-pot C-C activation/C-C coupling has been realized. Computational and experimental mechanistic studies indicate that the reaction involves a ruthenium(II) monohydride-mediated C(aryl)-C(aryl) activation and the resting state of the catalyst is a η4-coordinated ruthenium(II) dichloride complex, which could inspire development of other transformations based on this reaction mode.

- Iridium(iii) complex-based electrochemiluminescent probe for H2S
-
Since abnormal levels of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) correlate with various diseases, simple methods for its rapid and sensitive detection are highly required. Herein, we introduce a new electrochemiluminescent probe 1 for H2S based on a cyclometalated iridium(iii) complex. o-(Azidomethyl)benzoate ester groups on the main ligands of probe 1 react selectively with H2S, resulting in cascade reactions involving H2S-mediated reduction and intramolecular cyclization/ester cleavage. With this structural change induced by H2S, the intrinsic electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of 1 decreased greatly due to the unfavourable electron transfer of a tripropylamine (TPA) radical. Probe 1 showed a high ECL turn-off ratio and good selectivity for H2S over various anions and biothiols. The sensing mechanism of H2S was elucidated using1H NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry analyses.

- C6-Selective Direct Arylation of 2-Phenylpyridine via an Activated N-methylpyridinium Salt: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study
-
An elegant pre-activation strategy, based on the formation of N-methylpyridinium iodide salts for C6-selective direct arylation of 2-phenylpyridines using Pd/Cu cooperative catalysis, has been developed. By this methodology, a wide range of unsymmetrical 2, 6-diarylpyridines were synthesized with high reactivity and regioselectivity as well as good functional group tolerance. In particular, challenging substrates bearing electron donating groups (EDGs), such as OMe, NMe2, were also successfully employed in this reaction. Deuterium incorporation studies revealed that the C?H bond acidity is improved significantly in N-methylpyridinium salts compared with their N-Oxide and N-iminopyridinium ylide counterparts, thus solving the long-standing problem associated with previous strategies for the synthesis of diaryl pyridines. Finally, the control experiments and DFT calculations supported a Pd-catalyzed and Cu-mediated mechanism in which a carbenoid copper species that is formed in-situ from N-methylpyridinium salts, participates in a Pd-catalyzed arylation followed by an iodide-promoted N-demethylation process. (Figure presented.).

- Synthesis of 3-Substituted 2-Arylpyridines via Cu/Pd-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Cross-Coupling of Picolinic Acids with (Hetero)Aryl Halides
-
A decarboxylative cross-coupling of 3-substituted picolinic acids with (hetero)aryl halides is presented. In the presence of catalytic Cu2O and Pd(1,5-cyclooctadiene)Cl2 with 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′-(N,N-dimethylamino)biphenyl as the ligand, both electron-rich and electron-deficient aryl bromides and chlorides as well as heteroaryl bromides were successfully coupled with various picolinate salts under mild conditions in yields up to 96%. This protocol provides an efficient entry to 2-(hetero)arylpyridines, an attractive substance class in drug discovery.

- Ruthenium-Catalyzed meta-Selective C?H Mono- and Difluoromethylation of Arenes through ortho-Metalation Strategy
-
The first example for the ruthenium-catalyzed ligand-directed meta-selective C?H mono- and difluoromethylation is developed, affording a variety of new meta-mono- and difluoromethylated 2-phenylpyridines, 2-phenylpyrimidines, and 1-phenylpyrazoles in moderate-to-good yields. This new transformation exhibits broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, and high efficiency, and offers a practical approach to synthesize mono- and difluoromethylated arenes. Mechanistic studies indicate that a reaction pathway involving palladium-initiated radical species is involved in the catalytic cycle. The new dual catalytic system consisting of compatible ruthenium(II) and palladium(0) complexes enables the key processes of C?H activation and mono-/difluoromethyl-radical formation to occur and achieves the meta-selective functionalization efficiently. In addition, the present protocol can also be extended to non-fluoromethylation.

- Room-temperature Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of heteroaryl chlorides and tosylates
-
Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of heteroaryls is an important method for the preparation of compound libraries for medicinal chemistry and materials research. Although many catalysts have been developed, none of them have been generally applicable to the coupling reactions of heteroaryl chlorides and tosylates at room temperature. We discovered that a catalyst combination of Pd(OAc)2 and XPhos (2-dicyclohexylphosphanyl-2',4',6'- triisopropylbiphenyl) could efficiently catalyze these couplings. Besides the choice of catalyst, the use of hydroxide bases in an aqueous alcoholic solvent was essential for fast couplings. These conditions promoted fast release of active catalyst (XPhos)Pd0, and accelerated the transmetalation in the catalytic cycle. Most of the major families of heteroaryl chlorides (31 examples) and tosylates (17 examples) reached full conversion within minutes to hours at room temperature. The method could be easily scaled up for gram-scale synthesis. Furthermore, we examined the relative reactivity of coupling partners in whole reactions. Electron-rich heteroaryl chlorides and tosylates reacted more slowly than electron-deficient ones, in the order of indole, pyrrole furan, thiophene > pyridine. Similarly, electron-deficient arylboronic acids were less reactive than electron-neutral and electron-rich ones. The reactivity trends from this study can help to choose appropriate coupling partners for Suzuki reactions.

- The 1,3-diaminobenzene-derived aminophosphine palladium pincer complex {C6H3[NHP(piperidinyl)2]2Pd(Cl)} - A highly active Suzuki-Miyaura catalyst with excellent functional group tolerance
-
The rapidly prepared 1,3-diaminobenzenederived aminophosphine pincer complex {C6H3 [NHP(piperidinyl)2] 2Pd(Cl)} (1) is an effective Suzuki catalyst with excellent functional group tolerance. Side-product formations, such as homocoupling, debromation or protodeboration have only rarely been detected and if so, were in all cases below the 5% level. The presented reaction protocol is universally applicable. Experimental observations indicate that palladium nanoparticles are the catalytically active form of 1.

- Nucleophilic addition to 3-substituted pyridinium salts: Expedient syntheses of (-)-L-733,061 and (-)-CP-99,994
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) The addition of nucleophiles to 3-substituted pyridinium salts prepared from N-methylbenzamide and various pyridines has been investigated. Good to excellent regioselectivities favoring the 2,3-disubstituted 1,2-dihydropyridines were observed. The resulting 1,2-dihydropyridines led to the corresponding 2,3-disubstituted pyridines upon treatment with Mn(OAc)3/NaIO4. This methodology was also successfully applied to the enantioselective syntheses of (-)-L-733,061 and (-)-CP-99,994, two members of a new class of highly potent, nonpeptide, Substance P antagonists.
