We newly developed lithium methyltriolborate as an air-stable white solid that is convenient to handle. The good performance of this triolborate for metal-catalyzed bond-forming reactions was demonstrated in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with haloarenes. Cross-coupling reaction of [MeB(OCH2)3CCH3]Li with aryl halides occurred in the presence of Pd(OAc)2/RuPhos complex in refluxing MeOH/H2O and the absence of bases.
A general method for the synthesis of five‐membered and six‐membered selenaheterocycles through Ag‐catalyzed C−Se bond‐forming reaction is reported. This reaction proceeds via intramolecular cyclization of arylboronic acids with selenium powder. Preliminary mechanism studies demonstrate that this transformation involves a selenium‐centred radical intermediate.
for the preparation of dibenzosiloles was developed through intramolecular C−H/Si−H dehydrogenative coupling strategy starting from biarylhydrosilanes. Both electro-donating and electro-withdrawing substitution groups were tolerated for this transformation, and the desired dibenzosilole products could be obtained in moderate to excellent yields. A sila-Friedel-Crafts reaction mechanism was proposed
2-halobiaryls with isocyanides was developed. The reaction afforded an array of fluorenone imine derivatives via the cleavage of a C−H bond at the 2′-position of 2-halobiaryls. The use of 2,6-disubstitutedphenyl isocyanide was crucial for this catalytic cyclocoupling reaction to proceed. The reaction was applicable to heterocyclic and vinylic substrates, allowing the construction of a wide range of
为了证明异氰化物在催化CH键官能化反应中的实用性,开发了2-卤代双芳基与异氰化物的钯催化的环偶联反应。该反应通过在2-卤代联芳基的2'-位上的CH键断裂,提供了一系列芴酮亚胺衍生物。2,6-二取代的苯基异氰化物的使用对于进行该催化环偶联反应至关重要。该反应适用于杂环和乙烯基底物,从而允许构建广泛的环系统。观察到的大的动力学同位素效应(k H / k D = 5.3)表明,CH键的活化是该催化作用中的周转限制步骤。
