A series of new Mg(ii) amides featuring a bulky β-diketiminate backstop ligand, has been synthesised. These complexes are demonstrated to be excellent sources of nucleophilic amides that can participate in rapid C-F activation of several fluoroarenes at room temperature or using microwave assistance, leading to the installment of synthetically important C-N bonds via nucleophilic substitution.

Leveraging N- substituents to tune the donor/acceptor properties of mesoionic imines (MIIs).

In this work, we show two synthetic routes to substitute the N position of mesoionic imines (MIIs). By Buchwald-Hartwig amination, 5-amino-1,2,3-triazoles can be arylated at the said position, showing the versatility of amino-triazoles as building blocks for MIIs. The reaction of MIIs with electrophiles (MeI, fluoro-arenes) highlights the nucleophilic nature of MIIs as even at room temperature aromatic C-F bonds can be activated with MIIs.

Heavier group 14 carbene analogues, exhibiting transition-metal-like behavior, display remarkable capability for small molecule activation and coordination chemistry. However, their application in redox catalysis remains elusive. In this paper, we report the synthesis and isolation of a stannylene with carbodiphosphorane ligand.

We herein propose that the catalytic concerted SAr reaction is a powerful method to prepare functionalized aromatic scaffolds. Classic stepwise SAr reactions involving addition/elimination processes require the use of electron-deficient aromatic halides to stabilize Meisenheimer intermediates, despite their widespread use in medicinal chemistry research. Recent efforts have been made to develop concerted SAr reactions involving a single transition state, allowing the use of electron-rich substrates based on the use of stoichiometric amounts of strong bases or reactive nucleophiles.

Continuous growth in fluoroarene production has led to environmental pollution and health concerns owing to their persistence, which is attributed to the stable C-F bond in their structures. Herein, we investigated fluoroarene decomposition via hydrodefluorination using a rhodium-based catalyst, focusing on the effects of the chemical structure and functional group on the defluorination yield. Most compounds, except (pentafluoroethyl)benzene, exhibited full or partial reduction with pseudo-first-order rate constants in the range of 0.

Typified by LiTMP and TMPMgCl.LiCl, (TMP=2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide), s-block metal amides have found widespread applications in arene deprotonative metalation. On the contrary, transition metal amides lack sufficient basicity to activate these substrates.
