A one-pot multicomponent copper-catalyzed protocol for borylation/ortho-cyanation of styrene derivatives followed by a Suzuki-Miyaura coupling provides a platform to explore the factors that control the selectivity between distal or proximal functionalization of arenes. The development of divergent nitrile-directed C-H functionalization (acetoxylation, pivalation, and methoxylation) offers an effective approach to rapidly increase synthetic complexity. Finally, the development of a mild reductive decyanation allows a traceless method to access functionalized biaryl motifs.
Borrowing Hydrogen-Mediated N-Alkylation Reactions by a Well-Defined Homogeneous Nickel Catalyst

We report herein a well-defined and bench-stable azo-phenolate ligand-coordinated nickel catalyst which can efficiently execute N-alkylation of a variety of anilines by alcohol. We demonstrate that the redox-active azo ligand can store hydrogen generated during alcohol oxidation and redelivers the same to an in-situ-generated imine bond to result in N-alkylation of amines. The reaction has wide scope, and a large array of alcohols can directly couple to a variety of anilines. Mechanistic studies including deuterium labeling to the substrate establishes the borrowing hydrogen method from alcohols and pinpoints the crucial role of the redox-active azo moiety present on the ligand backbone. Isolation of the ketyl intermediate in its trapped form with a radical quencher and higher kH/kD for the alcohol oxidation step suggest altogether a hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) to the reduced azo backbone to pave alcohol oxidation as opposed to the conventional metal-ligand bifunctional mechanism. This example clearly demonstrates that an inexpensive base metal catalyst can accomplish an important coupling reaction with the help of a redox-active ligand backbone.
