We demonstrate that several visible-light-mediated carbon-heteroatom cross-coupling reactions can be carried out using a photoactive Ni precatalyst that forms in situ from a nickel salt and a bipyridine ligand decorated with two carbazole groups (Ni(Czbpy)Cl ). The activation of this precatalyst towards cross-coupling reactions follows a hitherto undisclosed mechanism that is different from previously reported light-responsive nickel complexes that undergo metal-to-ligand charge transfer. Theoretical and spectroscopic investigations revealed that irradiation of Ni(Czbpy)Cl with visible light causes an initial intraligand charge transfer event that triggers productive catalysis. Ligand polymerization affords a porous, recyclable organic polymer for heterogeneous nickel catalysis of cross-coupling reactions. The heterogeneous catalyst shows stable performance in a packed-bed flow reactor during a week of continuous operation.

Although numerous transition-metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of alkenyl electrophiles with a sulfur(VI) leaving group, mainly alkenyl sulfones, have been developed, most rely heavily on highly nucleophilic Grignard reagents, and the use of organoboron reagents remains challenging. We report herein facile preparation and the following Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of alkenyl sulfoximine, a monoaza analog of sulfone. The condensation of alkyl sulfoximine with aldehydes, developed in this study, makes alkenyl sulfoximines more readily available.

Department of Molecular and Analytical Chemistry, University of Szeged, Dóm tér 8, H-6720 Szeged, Hungary.

Bimetallic PdCu nanoparticles with different Pd:Cu ratios and morphologies can be synthesized and immobilized on a variety of support materials. Accordingly, PdCu nanoparticles can be efficiently applied as heterogeneous catalysts in a large number of organic transformations including C-C coupling and cross-coupling reactions. As related to their favorable electronic and structural interactions, the catalytic performances of PdCu bimetallic nanoparticles may be superior to monometallic species.

Cross-Coupling of Carbonyl Derivatives and -Arylamines Enabled by Visible Light for Easy Access to 1,2-Amino Alcohols.

J Org Chem

International Joint Research Center for Molecular Science, College of Chemistry and Environmental Engineering, College of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen, Guangdong 518060, P. R. China.

We disclosed a new strategy for the synthesis of 1,2-amino alcohols enabled by visible light without the requirement of a photocatalyst and metal. Under light irradiation at 400 nm, the reaction of carbonyl derivatives and -arylamines proceeds via an electron-donor-acceptor (EDA) intermediate, obtaining diverse vicinal amino alcohols decorated with a two-electron-rich/-deficient aryl group.

3-Amino boron dipyrromethenes (BODIPYs) are a versatile class of fluorophores widely utilized in live cell imaging, photodynamic therapy, and fluorescent materials science. Despite the growing demand for optically active BODIPYs, the synthesis of chiral 3-amino-BODIPYs, particularly the catalytic asymmetric version, remains a challenge. Herein, we report the synthesis of boron-stereogenic 3-amino-BODIPYs via a palladium-catalyzed desymmetric C-N cross-coupling of prochiral 3,5-dihalogen-BODIPYs.

Pd(OAc)-Catalyzed Approach to Phenanthridin-6(5)-one Skeletons.

Org Lett

School of Chemistry and Materials Science, Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Green Synthesis for Functional Materials, Jiangsu Normal University, Xuzhou, Jiangsu 221116, China.

Herein, we present a Pd(OAc)/Dppp-catalyzed synthesis of 4-arylphenanthridinones from 2-bromobenzamides and iodobenzene, which undergoes successive Ullman cross-coupling, C-H activation, and oxidative coupling dehydrogenation process. The presented methods offer an adaptable and modular synthesis route for efficiently producing a wide array of valuable phenanthridiones, demonstrating exceptional compatibility with functional groups. Alternatively, a 1:1 cross-coupling reaction utilizing an intramolecular norbornene moiety as the ligand resulted in phenanthridinones through -arylation and C-H activation.
