Title: Visible Light Induced Brønsted Acid Assisted Pd‐Catalyzed Alkyl Heck Reaction of Diazo Compounds and N ‐Tosylhydrazones
Abstract

A mild visible light‐induced palladium‐catalyzed alkyl Heck reaction of diazo compounds andN‐tosylhydrazones is reported. A broad range of vinyl arenes and heteroarenes with high functional group tolerance, as well as a range of different diazo compounds, can efficiently undergo this transformation. This method features Brønsted acid‐assisted generation of hybrid palladium C(sp3)‐centered radical intermediate, which allowed for new selective C−H functionalization protocol.

  2. Abstract

    A novel, selective and high‐yielding palladium‐catalyzed carbonylative arylation of a variety of weakly acidic (pKa25–35 in DMSO) benzylic and heterobenzylic C(sp3)−H bonds with aryl bromides has been achieved. This system is applicable to a range of pro‐nucleophiles for access to sterically and electronically diverse α‐aryl or α,α‐diaryl ketones, which are ubiquitous substructures in biologically active compounds. The Josiphos SL‐J001‐1‐based palladium catalyst was identified as the most efficient and selective, enabling carbonylative arylation with aryl bromides under 1 atm CO to provide the ketone products without the formation of direct coupling byproducts. Additionally, (Josiphos)Pd(CO)2was identified as the catalyst resting state. A kinetic study suggests that the oxidative addition of aryl bromides is the turnover‐limiting step. Key catalytic intermediates were also isolated.

  4. Abstract

    The site‐selective palladium‐catalyzed three‐component coupling of unactivated alkenyl carbonyl compounds, aryl‐ or alkenylboronic acids, andN‐fluorobenzenesulfonimide is described herein. Tuning of the steric environment on the bidentate directing auxiliary enhances regioselectivity and facilitates challenging C(sp3)−F reductive elimination from a PdIVintermediate to afford 1,2‐carbofluorination products in moderate to good yields.
