ACS Catalysis, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 12(9), P. 4833 - 4839

Published: April 8, 2022

To meet the need for a rapid, streamlined, and potentially automatable molecule synthesis, modular coupling approaches are highly desired. While diversification of aromatic molecules, i.e., Csp2 space, has greatly advanced, syntheses in Csp3 space comparably much less developed. This report explores potential alternative functional handles, alkyl germanes, this context, which combine features stability synthesizability with selective reactivity. We show chemoselective functionalization germanes (R-GeEt3) under photoredox conditions (Giese addition) implementation building block, allows Csp3-halogen vs Csp3-Bpin Csp3-GeEt3 sites.

Palladium‐Catalyzed Aryldifluoromethylation of Aryl Halides with Aryldifluoromethyl Trimethylsilanes

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 61(41)

Published: Aug. 12, 2022

Abstract Diaryl difluoromethanes are valuable targets for medicinal chemistry because they bioisosteres of diaryl ethers and can function as replacements methane, ketone, sulfone groups. However, methods to prepare scarce, especially starting from abundant aryl halides. We report the Pd‐catalyzed aryldifluoromethylation halides with aryldifluoromethyl trimethylsilanes (TMSCF 2 Ar). The reaction occurs when catalyst contains a simple, but unusual, dialkylaryl phosphine ligand that promotes transmetallation silane. Computational studies show reductive elimination following low barrier, despite fluorine atoms on α‐carbon, due coordination difluorobenzyl π‐system palladium. co‐development cobalt‐catalyzed synthesis silanes broadened scope process including several applications biologically relevant difluoromethanes.

Organic Letters, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 25(51), P. 9237 - 9242

Published: Dec. 14, 2023

With cyanopyridines and alkyl bromides as coupling partners, an electrochemically driven C4-selective decyanoalkylation has been established to access diverse 4-alkylpyridines in one step. The reaction proceeds through the single electron reduction/radical–radical tandem process under mild electrolytic conditions, achieving cleavage of C(sp2)–CN bond formation C(sp3)–C(sp2). practicality this protocol is illustrated by no sacrificial anodes, a broad substrate scope, gram-scale synthesis.
