Recent research in medicinal chemistry suggests a correlation between an increase in the fraction of sp3 carbons in drug candidates with their improved success rate in clinical trials. As such, the development of robust and selective methods for the construction of C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds remains a critical problem in modern organic chemistry. Owing to the broad availability and synthetic accessibility of alkyl halides, their direct cross coupling—commonly known as cross-electrophile coupling (XEC)—provides a promising route toward this objective. However, achieving high selectivity in C(sp3)-C(sp3) XEC remains a largely unmet challenge. Herein, we employ electrochemistry to achieve the differential activation of alkyl halides by exploiting their disparate electronic and steric properties. Specifically, the selective cathodic reduction of a more substituted alkyl halide gives rise to a carbanion, which undergoes preferential coupling with a less substituted alkyl halide via bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2) to forge a new C–C bond. This transition-metal free protocol enables the efficient XEC of a variety of functionalized and unactivated alkyl electrophiles and exhibits substantially improved chemoselectivity versus existing methodologies.

A new heterogeneous phosphinite, 4-aminophenyldiphenylphosphinite (APDPP), is prepared and used for the efficient conversion of alcohols, trimethylsilyl ethers, and tetrahydropyranyl ethers to their corresponding bromides, iodides, and chlorides in the presence of molecular halogens or N-halosuccinimides. The amino group in this phosphinite acts as an acid scavenger and removes the produced acid. A simple filtration easily removes the phosphinate by-product.Key words: 4-aminophenyldiphenylphosphinite, alcohol, trimethylsilyl ether, tetrahydropyranyl ether, alkyl halide.

AbstractDespite the fundamental importance of efficient and selective synthesis of widely useful alkylarenes, the direct catalytic C(sp2)–H alkylation of unactivated arenes with a readily available alkyl halide remains elusive. Here, we report the catalytic C(sp2)–H alkylation reactions of unactivated arenes with alkyl bromides via visible-light induced Pd catalysis. The reaction proceeds smoothly under mild conditions without any skeletal rearrangement of the alkyl groups. The direct syntheses of structurally diverse linear and branched alkylarenes, including the late-stage phenylation of biologically active molecules and an orthogonal one-pot sequential Pd-catalyzed C–C bond-forming reaction, are achieved with exclusive chemoselectivity and exceptional functional group tolerance. Comprehensive mechanistic investigations through a combination of experimental and computational methods reveal a distinguishable Pd(0)/Pd(I) redox catalytic cycle and the origin of the counter-intuitive reactivity differences among alkyl halides.

Without suffering from β-elimination, cobalt complexes allow cross-coupling reactions of alkyl halides with Grignard reagents. A combination of a cobalt complex and trimethylsilylmethyl Grignard reagent effects Mizoroki-Heck-type reaction of alkyl halide with styrene, which conventional palladium catalysts have never made possible. Cobalt exhibits intriguing catalytic activities on hydrophosphination and allylzincation of alkynes. Silylmethylcobalt reagent is a powerful tool for the synthesis of highly silylated ethenes.

The present work involved four steps: First step include reaction of acrylamide ,N-?-Methylen-bis(acryl amide) and N-tert Butyl acryl amide with poly acryloyl chloride in the presence of triethyl amine (Et3N) as catalyst, the second step include homopolymerization of all products of the first step by using benzoyl peroxide(BPO) as initiator in (80-90)Co in the presence of Nitrogen gas(N2). In the third step the poly acrylimide which prepare in second step was convert into potassium salt by using alcoholic potassium hydroxide solution. Fourth step include Alkylation of the prepared polymeric salts in third step by react it with different alkyl halides(benzyl chloride, allylbromide , methyl iodide) by using DMF as solvent for(10-12) hours. Structure Confirmation of all prepared polymers were proved using FT-IR, 1H-NMR and C13-NMR spectroscopy for some polymers. Other physical properties including softening and melting points of the polymers were also measured.

Abstract A technique is described for handling volatile alkyl halide unknowns for vapor phase infrared spectroscopy. The sample vial is broken and the liquid is transferred to a screw-capped vial. The vial is placed in a large bottle containing acetone and stored in a refrigerator. For IR analysis, the sample is transferred to the special assembly.
