Cost‐effective and air‐stable high‐valent cobalt(III)‐catalyzed weakly coordinating, ketone‐directed regioselective mono‐alkenylation of arenes and heteroarenes with alkenes is demonstrated. Various electron‐rich and electron‐deficient arenes are tolerated under the reaction conditions, providing E‐alkenylated products exclusively. The tert‐butyl‐acrylates serve as an acrylic acid surrogate to provide
A unique effect of styrene additive on product selectivity was observed for RuH2(CO)(PPh3)3-catalyzed C−H arylation of acetophenone derivatives bearing two ortho C−H bonds. Without styrene, the C−H arylation with arylboronates gives diarylation products as the major products throughout the reaction, but the use of styrene as an additive switches the product selectivity and leads to selective formation

AbstractA series of robust iridium(I) complexes bearing a sterically encumbered N‐heterocyclic carbene ligand, alongside a phosphine ligand, has been synthesised and investigated in hydrogen isotope exchange processes. These complexes have allowed isotope incorporation over a range of substrates with the use of practically convenient deuterium and tritium gas. Moreover, these active catalysts are capable of isotope incorporation to particularly high levels, whilst employing low catalyst loadings and in short reaction times. In addition to this, these new catalyst species have shown flexible levels of chemoselectivity, which can be altered by simple manipulation of preparative approaches. Furthermore, a number of industrially‐relevant drug molecules has also been labelled, including the sulfonamide containing drug, Celecoxib. Alongside detailed NMR experiments, initial mechanistic investigations have also been performed, providing insight into both substrate binding energies, and, more importantly, relative energies of key steps in the mechanistic cycle as part of the overall exchange process.magnified image
Cobalt-Catalyzed <i>Ortho</i>-Arylation of Aromatic Imines with Aryl Chlorides
An ortho-arylation reaction of aromatic imines with aryl chlorides has been achieved using a cobalt N-heterocyclic carbene catalyst in combination with a neopentyl Grignard reagent. The reaction takes place at room temperature to afford biaryl products in moderate to good yields.
