We have realized the first Ullmann type coupling reaction of tri(di)fluoroethylamine with (hetero)aromatic bromides, employing 5-20 mol% CuO and an oxalamide ligand [N-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)acetamide]. This efficient and practical method has the following features: (i) avoids the use of an expensive catalyst; (ii) does not require anhydrous solvent and strict air extrusion; (iii) uses bench stable and inexpensive (hetero)aromatic bromides; (iv) is suitable for the synthesis of fluoroalkylated hetero-aromatic substrates; (v) is suitable for gram-scale synthesis. This work also shows the "negative fluorine effect" for the alkylamines in the copper catalysed coupling reactions.

We report herein α-C(sp)-H (hetero)arylation of thioethers enabled by dual nickel and photoexcited triplet ketone catalysis. The mild reaction conditions of this protocol tolerate a variety of functional groups and further facilitate the late-stage functionalization of biologically relevant molecules to afford corresponding products in moderate to good yields. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the generation of the α-thioalkyl radical takes place through a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) event, which is involved in the rate-limiting step and in the nickel cycle, the reaction of the α-thioalkyl radical with Ni(0)L catalyst followed by oxidative addition of aryl bromide is the dominating pathway.

Germoles and siloles unsymmetrically condensed with heteroaromatic units are attracting much interest. In this study, compounds containing a triazologermole core unit condensed with a benzene or thiophene ring were prepared. Thienotriazologermole was subjected to bromination to obtain the bromide, which underwent transformation via the palladium-catalyzed Stille coupling reaction to form triphenylamine-substituted thienotriazolegermole, with an effective extension of conjugation.
