The hydroarylation of alkenes has emerged as a powerful strategy for arene functionalization. However, aryl chlorides remain a large challenge in this type of reaction due to the chemical inertness of the C(sp)-Cl bond and high negative reduction potential. Herein, we report an anti-Markovnikov radical hydroarylation of alkenes with aryl chlorides via visible-light photoredox catalysis.

Article Synopsis
  • Aniline derivatives are vital nitrogen compounds used in various industries like chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
  • Nickel(II) and Lewis acid catalysis enable the efficient hydroamination of olefins with anilines, showing different product outcomes based on the olefin type used.
  • Mechanistic studies indicate distinct pathways for the reaction based on the electronic properties of the olefins, leading to different product types and a rearrangement generating hydroarylation products.

The ligand-regulated regiodivergent hydroarylation of the distal double bond of allenamides with aryl boronic acid was achieved in the presence of palladium(II) catalysts, delivering a variety of functionalized enamide with excellent E selectivity and Markovnikov/anti-Markovnikov selectivity. Two possible coordination intermediates were proposed to be responsible for the regiodivergent hydroarylation: (1) The coordination , which was proposed to be formed through the coordination of MeCN, distal double bond, phenyl to palladium, led to the aryl group away from the , inducing excellent E selectivity and anti-Markovnikov selectivity. (2) A switch of regioselectivity to 1,2- hydroarylation was obtained using bidentate phosphine ligand (dppf or Xantphos).

Although the nucleophilic alkylation of aromatics has recently been achieved with a variety of potent main group reagents, all of this reactivity is limited to a stoichiometric regime. We now report that the ytterbium(II) hydride, [BDIYbH] (BDI = CH[C(CH)NDipp], Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl), reacts with ethene and propene to provide the ytterbium(II) n-alkyls, [BDIYbR] (R = Et or Pr), both of which alkylate benzene at room temperature. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that this latter process operates through the nucleophilic (S2) displacement of hydride, while the resultant regeneration of [BDIYbH] facilitates further reaction with ethene or propene and enables the direct catalytic (anti-Markovnikov) hydroarylation of both alkenes with a benzene C-H bond.
