Alkylation of iridium 5,10,15,20-tetrakistolylporphyrinato carbonyl chloride, Ir(ttp)Cl(CO) (1), with 1°, 2° alkyl halides was achieved to give (ttp)Ir-alkyls in good yields under air and water compatible conditions by utilizing KOH as the cheap reducing agent.

AbstractAmong the plethora of catalytic methods developed for hydrocarbofunctionalization of olefins to date, reactions that regioselectively install a functionalized alkyl unit at the 2-position of a terminal unactivated C=C bond to afford branched products are scarce. Here, we show that a Ni-based catalyst in conjunction with a stoichiometric reducing agent promote Markovnikov-selective hydroalkylation of unactivated alkenes tethered to a recyclable 8-aminoquinaldine directing auxiliary. These mild reductive processes employ readily available primary and secondary haloalkanes as both the hydride and alkyl donor. Reactions of alkenyl amides with ≥ five-carbon chain length regioselectively afforded β-alkylated products through remote hydroalkylation, underscoring the fidelity of the catalytic process and the directing group’s capability in stabilizing five-membered nickelacycle intermediates. The operationally simple protocol exhibits exceptional functional group tolerance and is amenable to the synthesis of bioactive molecules as well as regioconvergent transformations.

Ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) random copolymer was synthesized with 1,2-propanediol as initiator, then the end-capping process was carried out by adding various alkyl halides and potassium hydroxide (KOH) to produce the double alkyl EO/PO random copolyethers. The factors effecting alkyl-capping rate were discussed. The results showed that when the molar ratio of hydroxyl group/KOH/1-bromobutane was 1/1.9/1.9, reacting time 6.5 hr and reacting temperature 50°C, the alkyl-capping rate could reach over 80%. The end-capping rate would also increase with the increasing content of ethylene oxide in the random polyether, and the end-capping rate of the EO/PO/EO block-polyether was high than that of the random polyether with same molecular weight. Instead of 1-bromobutane, ethyl bromide promised a higher whereas chloralkane gave a lower end-capping rate respectively.

The first example of visible-light-driven reductive carboarylation of styrenes with CO<sub>2</sub> and aryl halides in a regioselective manner has been achieved. A broad range of aryl iodides and bromides were compatible with this reaction. <a>Moreover, pyridyl halides, alkyl halides and even aryl chlorides were also viable with this method.</a> These findings may stimulate the exploration of novel visible-light-driven Meerwein arylation-addition reactions with user-friendly aryl halides as the radical sources and the photocatalytic utilization of CO<sub>2.</sub>

C–H alkylations of purine nucleosides were achieved by means of user-friendly nickel catalysis with ample substrate scope and high levels of chemo, site and regio control, which among others enabled the direct fluorescent labeling of purines in terms of late stage diversification.
