Acyl Azide

Acyl azides were safely generated by using nitrous acid in water and reacted in situ within a flow system. The acyl azide was efficiently extracted into the organic phase containing an amine nucleophile for a highly enantioselective peptide coupling.

Vinyl Fluorides

Vinyl fluorides play an important role in drug development as they serve as bioisosteres for peptide bonds and are found in a range of biologically active molecules. The discovery of safe, general and practical procedures to prepare vinyl fluorides remains an important goal and challenge for synthetic chemistry. Here we introduce an inexpensive and easily-handled reagent and report simple, scalable, and metal-free protocols for the regioselective and stereodivergent hydrofluorination of alkynes to access both the E and Z isomers of vinyl fluorides. These conditions were suitable for a diverse collection of alkynes, including several highly-functionalized pharmaceutical derivatives. Mechanistic and DFT studies support C–F bond formation through a vinyl cation intermediate, with the (E)- and (Z)-hydrofluorination products forming under kinetic and thermodynamic control, respectively.<br>

<p>Despite the widespread applications of C–H functionalization, controlling site selectivity remains a significant challenge. Covalently attached directing group (DG) served as an ancillary ligand to ensure proximal <i>ortho</i>-, distal <i>meta</i>- and <i>para</i>-C-H functionalization over the last two decades. These covalently linked DGs necessitate two extra steps for a single C–H functionalization: introduction of DG prior to C–H activation and removal of DG post-functionalization. We introduce here a transient directing group for distal C(<i>sp<sup>2</sup></i>)-H functionalization <i>via</i> reversible imine formation. By overruling facile proximal C-H bond activation by imine-<i>N</i> atom, a suitably designed pyrimidine-based transient directing group (TDG) successfully delivered selective distal C-C bond formation. Application of this transient directing group strategy for streamlining the synthesis of complex organic molecules without any necessary pre-functionalization at the distal position has been explored.</p>

Metal Catalyzed

Carbon-carbon bond formation by transition metal-catalyzed C–H activation has become an important strategy to fabricate new bonds in a rapid fashion. Despite the pharmacological importance of <i>ortho</i>-arylbenzylamines, however, effective <i>ortho</i>-C–C bond formation from C–H bond activation of free primary and secondary benzylamines using Pd<sup>II</sup> remains an outstanding challenge. Presented herein is a new strategy for constructing <i>ortho</i>-arylated primary and secondary benzylamines mediated by carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>). The use of CO<sub>2</sub> is critical to allowing this transformation to proceed under milder conditions than previously reported, and that are necessary to furnish free amine products that can be directly used or elaborated without the need for deprotection. In cases where diarylation is possible, a chelate effect is demonstrated to facilitate selective monoarylation.

<p>The dinuclear b-diketiminato Ni<sup>II</sup><i>tert</i>-butoxide {[Me<sub>3</sub>NN]Ni}<sub>2</sub>(<i>μ</i>-O<i><sup>t</sup></i>Bu)<sub>2 </sub>(<b>2</b>), synthesized from [Me<sub>3</sub>NN]Ni(2,4-lutidine) (<b>1</b>) and di-<i>tert</i>-butylperoxide, is a versatile precursor for the synthesis of a series of Ni<sup>II</sup>complexes [Me<sub>3</sub>NN]Ni-FG to illustrate C-C, C-N, and C-O bond formation at Ni<sup>II </sup>via radicals. {[Me<sub>3</sub>NN]Ni}<sub>2</sub>(<i>μ</i>-O<i><sup>t</sup></i>Bu)<sub>2 </sub>reacts with nitromethane, alkyl and aryl amines, acetophenone, benzamide, ammonia and phenols to deliver corresponding mono- or dinuclear [Me<sub>3</sub>NN]Ni-FG species (FG = O<sub>2</sub>NCH<sub>2</sub>, R-NH, ArNH, PhC(O)NH, PhC(O)CH<sub>2</sub>, NH<sub>2</sub>and OAr). Many of these Ni<sup>II </sup>complexes are capable of capturing the benzylic radical PhCH(•)CH<sub>3 </sub>to deliver corresponding PhCH(FG)CH<sub>3 </sub>products featuring C-C, C-N or C-O bonds. DFT studies shed light on the mechanism of these transformations and suggest two competing pathways that depend on the nature of the functional groups. These radical capture reactions at [Ni<sup>II</sup>]-FG complexes outline key C-C, C-N, and C-O bond forming steps and suggest new families of nickel radical relay catalysts.</p>

Design and implementation of the first (asymmetric) Fe-catalyzed intra- and intermolecular difunctionalization of vinyl cyclopropanes (VCPs) with alkyl halides and aryl Grignard reagents has been realized via a mechanistically driven approach. Mechanistic studies support the diffusion of the alkyl radical intermediates out of the solvent cage to participate in an intra- or -intermolecular radical cascade with the VCP followed by re-entering the Fe radical cross-coupling cycle to undergo selective C(sp2)-C(sp3) bond formation. Overall, we provide new design principles for Fe-mediated radical processes and underscore the potential of using combined computations and experiments to accelerate the development of challenging transformations.
