(Chemical Equation Presented) Mild thing: The first nickel-based catalysts for cross-couplings of secondary organometallic nucleophiles with secondary alkyl electrophiles have been developed. Thus, Negishi reactions proceed under mild conditions (at room temperature with no basic activators) in the presence of NiCl2·glyme and a tridentate ligand (see scheme).

Unactivated C-H bonds react with iodine when exposed to trimethylsilyl azide in the presence of a hypervalent iodine reagent or, alternatively, to aqueous H2O2, acetic anhydride, and sodium azide (see scheme). (Chemical Equation Presented).

Short-lived alkoxyphosphonium intermediates have been detected in the interactions of alkyl diphenylphosphinites ROPPh2 (R = Et, Pr i, Bu8, and 3-pentyl) with iodomethane at room temperature. Phosphorus chemical shifts for the sec-alkoxy(methyl) diphenylphosphonium iodides (δp 68.6-68.7 ppm) are at slightly higher field than for ethoxy(methyl)diphenylphosphonium iodide (δp 72.4 ppm), in accord with higher electron density at phosphorus in the secondary alkyl sytems. Relative rates of decomposition in CDCl3 (Me > Et > Pri ? neopentyl) are in accord with SN2-type cleavage of the R-O bond but within the secondary alkyl series the relative rates (Pri 8 N1 mechanism is proposed.
