A Negishi cross-coupling of α-hydroxy ester derivatives and arylzinc reagents has been developed. This reaction tolerates both primary and secondary C(sp3)–O alcohol precursors and achieves efficient cross-coupling under Ni catalysis without the need for added external metal reductant, photocatalyst, or additives. The arylation of readily accessible C(sp3)–O electrophiles in this operationally simple, rapid, and mild reaction provides a complementary way of accessing desirable α-aryl ester products.

A general and facile method to prepare unquaternized C-bound boron enolates by a ligand-controlled O-to-C isomerization is reported. Using this protocol, C-bound pinacolboron enolates have been isolated in pure form for the first time, and have been fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. In contrast to the general perception, such C-boron enolates are stable without coordinative saturation at the boron. Moreover, C-boron enolates present reactivities that are distinct from the O-boron enolates, and their applications in C-O and C-C bond formations are demonstrated.

Imidazole derivatives are effective ligands for promoting the [Ru3(CO)12]-catalyzed hydroesterification of alkenes using formates. Extensive ligand screening was performed to identify 2-hydroxymethylated imidazole as the optimal ligand. Neither carbon monoxide gas nor a directing group was required, and the reaction also showed a wide substrate generality. The Ru-imidazole catalyst system also promoted intramolecular hydrocarbamoylation to afford lactams. A Ru-imidazole complex was unambiguously analyzed by X-ray crystallography, and it had a trinuclear structure derived from one [Ru3(CO)12] and two ligands. This complex was also successfully used for hydroesterification. The mechanism was examined in detail by using D- and 13C-labeled formates, indicating that the hydroesterification reaction proceeds by a decarbonylation-recarbonylation pathway. Effective imidazole assistant: [Ru3(CO)12]-catalyzed hydroesterification of alkenes by using formates is drastically accelerated by imidazole derivatives and exhibits a broad substrate scope for both alkenes and formates. The Ru-imidazole complex also catalyzes the intramolecular hydrocarbamoylation of alkenes.
