Full control over multiple competing coupling sites would enable straightforward access to densely functionalized compound libraries. Historically, the site selection in Pd -catalyzed functionalizations of poly(pseudo)halogenated arenes has been unpredictable, being dependent on the employed catalyst, the reaction conditions, and the substrate itself. Building on our previous report of C-Br-selective functionalization in the presence of C-OTf and C-Cl bonds, we herein complete the sequence and demonstrate the first general arylations and alkylations of C-OTf bonds (in <10 min), followed by functionalization of the C-Cl site (in <25 min), at room temperature using the same air- and moisture-stable Pd dimer. This allowed the realization of the first general and triply selective sequential C-C coupling (in 2D and 3D space) of C-Br followed by C-OTf and then C-Cl bonds.

C-S-Selective Stille-Coupling Enables Stereodefined Alkene Synthesis.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

October 2024

A palladium-catalyzed highly C-S-selective Stille cross-coupling between aryl thianthrenium salts and tri- or tetrasubstituted alkenyl stannanes is described. Herein, critical challenges including site- and chemoselectivity control are well addressed through C-H thianthrenation and C-S alkenylation, thereby providing an expedient access to stereodefined tri- and tetrasubstituted alkenes in a stereoretentive fashion. Indeed, the palladium-catalyzed Stille-alkenylation of poly(pseudo)halogenated arenes displays privileged capability to differentiate C-S over C-I, C-Br, C-Cl bonds, as well as oxygen-based triflates (C-OTf), tosylates (C-OTs), carbamates and sulfamates under mild reaction conditions.

Palladium-Catalyzed Deuterodehalogenation of Halogenated Aryl Triflates Using Isopropanol- as the Deuterium Source.

Org Lett

December 2023

State Key Laboratory of Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery and Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong 999077, China.

In this study, a novel and efficient Pd-catalyzed chemoselective deuterodehalogenation reaction of halogenated aryl triflates was developed using isopropanol- as the deuterium source. This chemoselective reaction afforded an unconventional chemoselectivity order of C-Br > C-Cl > C-OTf. This catalytic system was successfully applied to chemoselective hydrodehalogenation of chloroaryl triflates, providing excellent C-Cl chemoselectivity over C-OTf.

Orthogonal Olefination with Organogermanes.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

October 2023

Institute of Organic Chemistry, RWTH Aachen University, Landoltweg 1, 52074, Aachen, Germany.

Reported herein is a fully orthogonal olefination, which involves the site- and E-selective coupling of aryl germanes with alkenes, tolerating otherwise widely employed coupling handles such as aromatic (pseudo)halogens (C-I, C-Br, C-Cl, C-F, C-OTf, C-OSO F), silanes and boronic acid derivatives as well as alternative functionalities. This unprecedented [Ge]-based oxidative Heck coupling proceeds at room temperature with high speed (10 min to 2 hours) and operational simplicity owing to its base-free and air-tolerant features.

Orthogonal C-O Bond Construction with Organogermanes.

April 2023

Institute of Organic Chemistry, RWTH Aachen University, Landoltweg 1, 52074 Aachen, Germany.

We report a fully orthogonal C-O bond formation strategy, which involves the selective coupling of arylgermanes with alkyl alcohols (primary, secondary and tertiary) as well as carboxylic acids, tolerating otherwise widely employed coupling handles, such as aromatic (pseudo)halogens (C-I, C-Br, C-Cl, C-F, C-OTf, C-OFs), silanes and boronic acid derivatives. This unprecedented [Ge]-based C-O bond construction is rapid (15 min to few hours reaction time), air-tolerant, operationally simple and mild, as it is base-free and proceeds at room temperature.

State Key Laboratory of Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery and Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

A newly developed phosphine ligand with a -cyclohexyl group on the indole ring was successfully applied in a chemoselective Sonogashira coupling reaction with excellent chemoselectivity, affording an inversion of the conventional chemoselectivity order of C-Br > C-Cl > C-OTf. This study also provided an efficient approach to the synthesis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and the natural product analogue trimethyl-selaginellin L by merging of chemoselective Sonogashira and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions.
