The coordination chemistry of the anionic NHC1-based on an imidazo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-ylidene (IPy) platform substituted at the C5 position by an anionic barbituric heterocycle was studied with d6(Ru(II), Mn(I)) and d8(Pd(II), Rh(I), Ir(I), Au(III)) transition-metal centers. While the anionic barbituric heterocycle is planar in the zwitterionic NHC precursor 1·H, NMR spectroscopic analyses supplemented by X-ray diffraction studies evidenced the chelating behavior of ligand 1-through the carbenic and the malonic carbon atoms in all of the complexes, resulting from a deformation of the lateral barbituric heterocycle. The complexes were obtained by reaction of the free carbene with the appropriate metal precursor, except for the Au(III) complex 10, which was obtained by oxidation of the antecedent gold(I) complex [AuCl(1)]?with PhICl2as an external oxidant. During the course of the process, the kinetic gold(I) intermediate 9 resulting from the oxidation of the malonic carbon of the barbituric moiety was isolated upon crystallization from the reaction mixture. The νCOstretching frequencies recorded for complex [Rh(1)(CO)2] (5) demonstrated the strong donating character of the malonate-C(sp3)/NHC ligand 1-. The ruthenium complex [Ru(1)Cl(p-cymene)] (11) was implemented as a precatalyst in the dehydrogenative synthesis of carboxylic acid derivatives from primary alcohols and exhibited high activities at low catalyst loadings (25-250 ppm) and a large tolerance toward functional groups.

A bimetallic catalyst system has been developed that for the first time allows the decarboxylative crosscoupling of aryl and acyl carboxylates with aryl triflates. In contrast to aryl halides, these electrophiles give rise to non-coordinating anions as byproducts, which do not interfere with the decarboxylation step that leads to the generation of the carbon nucleophilic crosscoupling partner. As a result, the scope of carboxylate substrates usable in this transformation was extended from ortho-substituted or otherwise activated derivatives to a broad range of ortho-, meta-, and para-substituted aromatic carboxylates. Two alternative protocols have been optimized, one involving heating the substrates in the presence of CuI/1,10- phenanthroline (10-15 mol %) and PdI2/phosphine (23 mol%) in NMP for 1-24 h, the other involving CuI/l,10-phenanthroline (615mol%) and PdBr2/Tol-BINAP (2 mol % ) in NMP using microwave heating for 5-10 min. While most products are accessible using standard heating, the use of microwave irradiation was found to be beneficial especially for the conversion of non-activated carboxylates with functionalized aryl triflates. The synthetic utility of the transformation is demonstrated with 48 examples showing the scope and limitations of both protocols. In mechanistic studies, the special role of microwave irradiation is elucidated, and further perspectives of decarboxylase crosscouplings are discussed.
