α,α-Difluoro-substituted organozinc reagents generated from conventional organozinc compounds and difluorocarbene couple with 1-bromoalkynes affording gem-difluorinated alkynes. The cross-coupling proceeds in the presence of catalytic amounts of copper iodide in dimethylformamide under ligand-free conditions.

Mechanisms of Activating Agents to Form Organozinc Reagents from Zinc Metal: Lessons for Reaction Design.

Activating agents enable the efficient preparation of organozinc complexes from zinc metal and organohalides, but their mechanisms had been obscured by the heterogeneous nature of these systems. Fluorescence microscopy, with the sensitivity to detect surface reaction intermediates, reveals distinct activating mechanisms of widely used activation strategies: trimethylsilyl chloride, LiCl, DMSO, and Rieke zinc powder. The resulting development of mechanistic models provides a better understanding of the oxidative-addition-solubilization sequence in organozinc reagent formation and contains lessons for methods development.

The synthesis of C1-functionalized β-carbolines from -Boc norharman is described. Substitution is realized by employing the Knochel-Hauser base (TMPMgCl·LiCl) followed by transmetalation with ZnCl and subsequent Negishi cross-coupling of the resulting organozinc species. A variety of aryl or heteroaryl bromides participated in this one-pot reaction sequence, allowing for rapid diversification of the β-carboline scaffold in moderate to excellent yields.

The use of alkylzinc bromides in the multicomponent Mannich reaction is described. Heteroleptic organozinc compounds were obtained in THF or 2-MeTHF by direct insertion of zinc dust into the C-Br bond of alkyl bromides. It was found that the presence of a stoichiometric amount of LiCl was essential for the efficiency of the subsequent three-component coupling with aldehydes and amines.

An enantioconvergent palladium-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling with racemic secondary organozinc reagents has been developed, enabling access to enantioenriched 1,1-diarylalkane motifs in high yields and enantioselectivities. Computational data indicates that the racemization of organozinc compounds most likely occurs through a bridged bimolecular mechanism.
