Photoredox-Assisted Reductive Cross-Coupling: Mechanistic Insight into Catalytic Aryl-Alkyl Cross-Couplings

Here, we describe a photoredox-assisted catalytic system for the direct reductive coupling of two carbon electrophiles. Recent advances have shown that nickel catalysts are active toward the coupling of sp3-carbon electrophiles and that well-controlled, light-driven coupling systems are possible. Our system, composed of a nickel catalyst, an iridium photosensitizer, and an amine electron donor, is capable of coupling halocarbons with high yields. Spectroscopic studies support a mechanism where under visible light irradiation the Ir photosensitizer in conjunction with triethanolamine are capable of reducing a nickel catalyst and activating the catalyst toward cross-coupling of carbon electrophiles. The synthetic methodology developed here operates at low 1 mol % catalyst and photosensitizer loadings. The catalytic system also operates without reaction additives such as inorganic salts or bases. A general and effective sp2-sp3 cross-coupling scheme has been achieved that exhibits tolerance to a wide array of functional groups.

Cross-coupling reactions through the intramolecular activation of Alkyl(triorgano)silanes

(Figure Presented) Cross-Si-ing the Jordan: Cross-coupling reactions of 2-(2-hydroxyprop-2-yl)phenylsubstituted alkylsilanes with a variety of aryl halides proceed in the presence of palladium and copper catalysts. The use of K3PO4 base allows for highly chemoselective alkyl coupling with both primary and secondary alkyl groups (Alk).

Method of producing an o-disubstituted aromatic compound, and method of producing a monosubstituted-monohaloaromatic compound

A method of producing an o-disubstituted aromatic compound, containing: continuously conducting at least the following steps (a) to (d): (a) a step of mono-lithiating one halogen atom of an o-dihaloaromatic compound, using a first microreactor; (b) a step of making the thus-obtained monolithiated product to react with an electrophilic compound, using a second microreactor, to obtain a monosubstituted-monohaloaromatic compound; (c) a step of lithiating the other halogen atom of the o-dihaloaromatic compound, using a third microreactor; and (d) a step of making the thus-obtained lithiated product successively to react with an electrophilic compound, using a forth microreactor.
