Electrochemically Enabled, Nickel-Catalyzed Dehydroxylative Cross-Coupling of Alcohols with Aryl Halides

As alcohols are ubiquitous throughout chemical science, this functional group represents a highly attractive starting material for forging new C-C bonds. Here, we demonstrate that the combination of anodic preparation of the alkoxy triphenylphosphonium ion and nickel-catalyzed cathodic reductive cross-coupling provides an efficient method to construct C(sp2)-C(sp3) bonds, in which free alcohols and aryl bromides - both readily available chemicals - can be directly used as coupling partners. This nickel-catalyzed paired electrolysis reaction features a broad substrate scope bearing a wide gamut of functionalities, which was illustrated by the late-stage arylation of several structurally complex natural products and pharmaceuticals.

Cross-Coupling Reactions of Alkyl Halides with Aryl Grignard Reagents Using a Tetrachloroferrate with an Innocent Countercation

Bis(triphenylphosphoranylidene)ammonium tetrachloroferrate, (PPN)[FeCl4] (1), was evaluated as a catalyst for cross-coupling reactions. 1 exhibits high stability toward air and moisture and is an effective catalyst for the reaction of secondary alkyl halides with aryl Grignard reagents. The PPN cation is considered as an innocent counterpart to the iron center. We have developed an easy-to-handle iron catalyst for “ligand-free” cross-coupling reactions. (Figure presented.).
