A new one-pot cross-coupling reaction between Grignard reagents and alkoxymethyldiphenylphosphonium iodides, which were in situ-formed from nBuLi-treated alcohols, chlorodiphenylphosphine and iodomethane, proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding coupling products in good to high yields.

A pot to share: A Calkyl-Cl bond can be rendered "dormant" or "active" in the Negishi alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling by a simple solvent polarity "switch" (see scheme). Adjustment from a 1:2 to a 2:1 solvent ratio of dimethylimidazolidinone: tetrahydrofuran enables orthogonal alkyl-alkyl Negishi cross-coupling strategies to be carried out on bifunctional bromochloroalkanes in one pot at room temperature.

We have developed the first user-friendly Negishi protocol capable of routinely cross-coupling all combinations of alkyl and aryl centers. The use of an easily synthesized, air stable, highly active, well-defined precatalyst PEPPSI-IPr (1; PEPPSI = pyridine-enhanced precatalyst preparation, stabilization and initiation; IPr = diisopropyl-phenylimidazolium derivative) substantially increases the scope, reliability, and ease-of-use of the Negishi reaction. All organohalides and routinely used pseudohalides were excellent coupling partners, with the use of chlorides, bromides, iodides, triflates, tosylates, and mesylates resulting in high yield of the coupled product. Furthermore, all reactions were performed by using general laboratory techniques, with no glove box necessary as the precatalyst was weighed and stored in air. Utilization of this methodology allowed for the easy synthesis of an assortment of sterically encumbered biaryls and druglike heteroaromatics, demonstrating the value of the PEPPSI-IPr system. Furthermore, this is also the first time Pd-NHC (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) methodology has surpassed the related phosphine-ligated Negishi processes both in activity and use.

Thiol-Catalyzed Radical Decyanation of Aliphatic Nitriles with Sodium Borohydride
Kawamoto, Takuji,Oritani, Kyohei,Curran, Dennis P.,Kamimura, Akio
, p. 2084 - 2087 (2018)
Radical decyanation of aliphatic nitriles was achieved in the presence of NaBH4 and a thiol. The reaction proceeds via a radical mechanism involving borane radical anion addition to nitrile to form an iminyl radical, which undergoes carbon-carbon cleavage. Reductive radical addition to acrylonitrile is followed by decyanation to give a two-carbon homologated product in a net radical ethylation reaction.
NHC-Iridium-Catalyzed Deoxygenative Coupling of Primary Alcohols Producing Alkanes Directly: Synergistic Hydrogenation with Sodium Formate Generated in Situ

The direct conversion of alcohols into long-chain alkanes is an attractive but extremely challenging approach for biomass upgrading. Here, we describe the highly selective deoxygenative coupling of aryl ethanols with primary alcohols to produce alkanes, using a bis-N-heterocyclic carbene iridium (bis-NHC-Ir) complex as the catalyst. Up to quantitative yields and selectivity with a broad substrate scope are attained in both homo- and cross-coupling reactions. Mechanistic studies reveal that the further synergistic hydrogenation of the alkene intermediates by the formate generated in situ in the presence of bis-NHC-Ir is crucial for alkane production.
Hydrodecyanation of Secondary Alkyl Nitriles and Malononitriles to Alkanes using DiMeImd-BH3

The decyanation of secondary aliphatic nitriles and the 2-fold decyanation of malononitriles leading to alkanes in the presence of 1,3-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene borane (diMeImd-BH3) are reported. These reactions proceed via a radical mechanism that involves the addition of a borane radical to the nitrile to form an iminyl radical, followed by cleavage of a carbon-carbon bond. Theoretical calculations suggest that the β-cleavage of these iminyl radicals, which affords NHC-BH2CN and the corresponding alkyl radicals, is the rate-determining step in this reaction.
