Aryl tosylates are an attractive class of electrophiles for cross‐coupling reactions due to ease of synthesis, low price, and the employment of C−O electrophiles, however, the reactivity of aryl tosylates is low. Herein, we report the Ni‐catalyzed C(

Abstract sp 2)−C(sp 3) Kumada cross‐coupling of aryl tosylates with primary and secondary alkyl Grignard reagents. The method delivers valuable alkyl arenes by cross‐coupling with challenging alkyl organometallics possessing β‐hydrogens that are prone to β‐hydride elimination and homo‐coupling. The reaction is catalyzed by an air‐ and moisture stable‐Ni(II) precatalyst. A broad range of electronically‐varied aryl tosylates, including bis‐tosylates, underwent this transformation, and many examples are suitable at mild room temperature conditions. The combination of Ar−X cross‐coupling with the facile Ar−OH activation/cross‐coupling strategy permits for orthogonal cross‐coupling with challenging alkyl organometallics. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the method operates with TON reaching 2000, which is one of the highest turnovers observed to date in Ni‐catalyzed cross‐couplings.magnified image -

Abstract Benzofused lactams, especially indolin‐2‐one and dihydroquinolin‐2‐one are popular structural motives in durgs and natural products. Herein, we developed a room temperature and robust synthesis of benzofused lactams through cobalt(III)‐catalyzed C(
sp 2)−H amidation. In this protocol, in‐situ formation of Cp*Co(III)(ligand) catalyst from Cp*Co(CO)I2and ligand simplify the synthetic effort of cobalt complexes. Simple and readily synthesized 1,4,2‐dioxazol‐5‐ones underwent room temperature intramolecular C−H amidation and afforded a wide variety of functionalized benzofused lactams in up to 86% yield. The scalability of the reaction is also be demonstrated.magnified image -

Abstract Direct preparation of alkylated amide‐derivatives by cross‐coupling chemistry using sustainable protocols is challenging due to sensitivity of the amide functional group to reaction conditions. Herein, we report the synthesis of alkyl‐substituted amides by iron‐catalyzed C(
sp 2)−C(sp 3) cross‐coupling of Grignard reagents with aryl chlorides. The products of these reactions are broadly used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and other biologically‐active molecules. Furthermore, amides are used as versatile intermediates that can participate in the synthesis of valuable ketones and amines, providing access to motifs of broad synthetic interest. The reaction is characterized by its good substrate scope, tolerating a range of amide substitution, including sterically‐bulky, sensitive and readily modifiable amides. The reaction is compatible with challenging organometallics possessing β‐hydrogens, and proceeds under very mild, operationally‐simple conditions. Optimization of the catalyst system demonstrated the beneficial effect of O‐coordinating ligands on the cross‐coupling. The reaction was found to be fully chemoselective for the mono‐substitution at the less sterically‐hindered position. Mechanistic studies establish the order of reactivity and provide insight into the role of amide to control mono‐selectivity of the alkylation. The protocol provides the possibility for convenient access to alkyl‐amide structural building blocks using sustainable cross‐coupling conditions with high efficiency.magnified image -

Abstract Two powerful hypervalent iodine(V) oxidants, DMP‐OTs (1‐tosyloxy‐1,1‐diacetoxy‐1
H ‐1λ5‐benzo[d ][1,2]iodoxol‐3‐one) and IBX‐OTs (1‐tosyloxy‐1‐oxo‐1H ‐1λ5‐benzo[d ][1,2]iodoxol‐3‐one) show high reactivity in the oxidation of structurally complex primary and secondary alcohols, which are highly functionalized polyketide or terpene fragments or steroids. The yields of the corresponding carbonyl compounds are even higher for the protocol that uses pyridine as additive. The oxidations proceed very rapidly at room temperature leaving the protective groups and π‐systems intact and affording the corresponding carbonyl compounds in good to excellent yields. Moreover, IBX‐OTs is an efficient reagent for the oxidative dehydrogenation of steroidal alcohols to the corresponding enones.magnified image -

Abstract A versatile method for the Suzuki‐Miyaura cross‐coupling of amides using highly active, well‐defined, and air‐stable Pd−phosphine precatalysts is reported. Most notably, the method represents the first example of using practical and operationally‐simple Pd(II)−phosphine precatalysts in the emerging amide bond cross‐coupling manifold. The reactions are efficient at 0.10 mol% loading, furnishing biaryl ketones with high chemoselectivity for N−C(O) bond cleavage. This versatile method enables for the first time to achieve Pd−phosphine‐catalyzed cross‐coupling of amides at ppm loading. This C−N cross‐coupling can be used to efficiently furnish pharmaceutical intermediates by orthogonal Pd‐catalyzed cross‐couplings. We fully expect that operationally‐simple [(PR3)2Pd(II)X2] precatalysts as effective triggers for N−C(O) cross‐coupling will be of broad synthetic and catalytic interest.
