The nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of 1,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3)-ones with aryl bromides to generate a diverse array of -arylated benzamide derivatives has been developed. The reaction displayed good functional group tolerance with Zn as the reductant. The key to this transformation is the ring opening of benzotriazinones, which undergo a denitrogenative process to obtain various benzamide derivatives (29 examples, 42-93% yield). The scalability of this transformation was demonstrated.

Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Electrophile Coupling of Aryl Triflates with Alkyl Halides: Mechanism-Informed Design of More General Conditions.

Aryl triflates make up a class of aryl electrophiles that are available in a single step from the corresponding phenol. Despite the known reactivity of nickel complexes for aryl C-O bond activation of phenol derivatives, nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling using aryl triflates has proven challenging. Herein, we report a method to form C(sp)-C(sp) bonds by coupling aryl triflates with alkyl bromides and chlorides using phenanthroline (phen) or pyridine-2,6-bis(-cyanocarboxamidine) (PyBCam)-ligated nickel catalysts.

Nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling (XEC) reactions of (hetero)aryl electrophiles represent appealing alternatives to palladium-catalyzed methods for biaryl synthesis, but they often generate significant quantities of homocoupling and/or proto-dehalogenation side products. In this study, an informer library of heteroaryl chloride and aryl bromide coupling partners is used to identify Ni-catalyzed XEC conditions that access high selectivity for the cross-product when using equimolar quantities of the two substrates. Two different catalyst systems are identified that show complementary scope and broad functional-group tolerance, and time-course data suggest that the two methods follow different mechanisms.

The nickel catalyzed multi-component cross-electrophile carbonylation which emerges as a powerful and efficient method for constructing diverse ketones has attracted increasing attention of organic chemists. However, the selectivity of this reaction poses a significant challenge. In this work, we have developed a current-regulated selective nickel-catalyzed electroreductive cross-electrophile carbonylation, which offers a direct convergent synthesis of β/γ-hydroxy ketones, which represent pivotal structural motifs found in numerous natural products, bioactive molecules, pharmaceutical compounds, and essential building blocks.

Article Synopsis
- Chemically modified oligonucleotides are gaining attention for their stability in biological systems, but existing synthesis methods for modifications, especially at the C2'-position, lack efficiency and selectivity.
- A new electrochemical nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling method allows for the creation of diverse C2'-α-aryl/alkenyl nucleosides with excellent stereoselectivity and broad compatibility.
- The study demonstrates that oligonucleotides with C2'-aryl modifications have improved resistance to degradation and maintain effective cellular uptake, suggesting their potential in therapeutic applications.
Non-Innocent Role of Sacrificial Anodes in Electrochemical Nickel-Catalyzed C(sp)-C(sp) Cross-Electrophile Coupling.

Sacrificial anodes composed of inexpensive metals such as Zn, Fe, and Mg are widely used to support electrochemical nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling (XEC) reactions, in addition to other reductive electrochemical transformations. Such anodes are appealing because they provide a stable counter-electrode potential and typically avoid interference with the reductive chemistry. The present study outlines the development of an electrochemical Ni-catalyzed XEC reaction that streamlines access to a key pharmaceutical intermediate.
