The Pd(OAc)(2)-catalyzed Heck reaction of aryl diazonium salts with 2-arylacrylates led to cis-stilbenes with good to excellent stereoselectivity. The environmentally friendly protocol developed in this work features low palladium loading in technical-grade methanol at room temperature under base-, additive-, and ligand-free conditions. The same protocol applied to simple Heck coupling of aryl diazonium salts with methyl acrylate allows astonishingly low palladium loading, down to 0.005 mol%. The stereoselectivity experimentally observed for the synthesis of cis-stilbenes has been rationalized by DFT calculations. Moreover, the role of methanol in promoting the reaction has been clarified by a computational study.

A convenient and practical method has been developed for synthesizing various -aryl pyrazoles from vinyl sulfoxonium ylides and diazonium salts. When using 1,3-disubstituted vinyl sulfoxonium ylides, the reaction selectively yields 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles. On the other hand, employing 2,3-disubstituted vinyl sulfoxonium ylides results in the formation of 1,3,4-trisubstituted pyrazoles.

Allyl amines are vital components in various biologically important molecules and play a significant role in their function. Presently, most methods are geared toward the preparation of di- and trisubstituted allyl amines, leaving a gap for the development of more versatile approaches. We herein describe an approach to yield tetrasubstituted allyl amines through palladium (Pd)-catalyzed regioselective dicarbofunctionalization of masked N-phthalimide-protected propargyl amines.

We report a one-pot synthesis of aryl carboxylic acids utilizing HCOOH as a CO surrogate with low Pd-catalyst loading. This operationally simple and scalable method does not require use of a high-pressure reactor, two-chamber reaction vessel, phosphine ligand, or base and proceeds in a relatively short amount of time at ambient temperature. Notably, halides, including iodo and bromo groups, and nitro groups remain intact under these mild reaction conditions.

This report describes a dual catalytic approach for the versatile C-H arylation of arenes under photo-excitation at room temperature. The cooperative catalysis utilizes iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (which mostly contain FeO along with some γ-FeO) as the potential photocatalyst, which merges with the Pd-catalyzed C-H activation cycle for the reductive generation of aryl radical from aryl diazonium salt, revealing its photocatalytic activities. The method is applicable to a wide range of aryl coupling partners and different directing groups, demonstrating excellent productivity, nice co-operativity and recyclability.
