A facile and modular synthesis of triarylmethanes was achieved in good yield via a two-step sequence in which the final step is the copper(II)-catalyzed arylation of diarylmethanols with arylboronic acids. By using this protocol a variety of symmetrical and unsymmetrical triarylmethanes were synthesized. As an application of the newly developed methodology, we demonstrate a high-yielding synthesis of the triarylmethane intermediate towards an anti-breast-cancer drug candidate.

Rhodium-catalyzed regio- and enantioselective allylic arylation of racemic alkyl- and aryl- substituted allylic carbonates with arylboronic acids using commercially available BIBOP ligand is reported. This reaction proceeds at room temperature without base or other additive to deliver allylic arylation products in excellent yields, regio- and enantioselectivity (up to 95% yield, >20:1 b/l, >99% ee). Rh/BIBOP is disclosed as an efficient catalytic system for allylic substitution reaction.

The Pd-catalyzed multicomponent tandem reaction of β-ketonitriles, arylboronic acids and DMSO was efficiently developed, enabling access to a variety of poly substituted pyridines. The protocol shows excellent chemoselectivity, generating nicotinonitriles or symmetrical tetrasubstituted pyridines under different conditions by tandem cyclization of enaminone intermediates with β-ketonitriles or enolates, respectively, and does not require extra ammonias. This method boasts notable advantages, such as the use of commercially available or easily prepared substrates, simple conditions, a broad substrate scope, and good functional group tolerance.

We present a tandem aza-Heck/Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of -phenyl hydroxamic ethers with readily available arylboronic and alkenyl boronic acids. This protocol is enabled by a palladium catalyst paired with chiral phosphoramidite ligands, particularly under mild reaction conditions, yielding efficient and succinct synthetic routes to chiral isoindolinones with high enantioselectivity. Furthermore, this reaction exhibits excellent functional group compatibility and a rich diversity of subsequent transformations.

We have developed a novel protocol for carbonylative homocoupling of arylboronic acids using dithiocarbamate esters as the carbonyl alternative. A series of arylboronic acids underwent smooth reaction with dithiocarbamate ester (MeNCSMe) in the presence of Pd(PPh)Cl catalyst, Cu(OAc)·HO additive, and NaCO in DCE solvent, producing the biaryl ketones efficiently. The mechanism has been studied with the help of several control experiments that reveal the probability of thioamide intermediacy.

6-Bromo- and 6,7-dibromo-1,3-dimethyl-1-perimidin-2(3)-ones were arylated with arylboronic acids under Suzuki-Miyaura reaction conditions to afford 6-aryl-, 6-bromo-7-aryl- and 6,7-diaryl-1,3-dimethyl-1-perimidin-2(3)-ones. A comparison of the X-ray structural parameters of -diaryl derivatives of 1,3-dimethyl-1-perimidin-2(3)-one, naphthalene and 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene (proton sponge) was performed. Based on the data of dynamic H NMR spectroscopy and quantum-chemical calculations, barriers to /-isomerization of 6,7-diaryl-1,3-dimethyl-1-perimidin-2(3)-ones were estimated.
