Abstract

The synthesis of enantiopure P-stereogenic diarylphosphines PArPhR (Ar = 9-phenanthryl (a), 1-naphthyl (b), and 2-biphenylyl (c)) with an aryl group at the β (3; R = −CH₂CH₂(2-naphthyl)) or γ position (2; R = −CH₂Si(Me₂)CH₂Ph)) is described. Treatment of 2a with [RuCl₂(η⁶-p-cymene)]₂ (Dim1) has led to complex [RuCl₂(η⁶-p-cymene)(κP-2a)] (4a). Attempts to displace the p-cymene substituent by the pendant aryl group of the phosphine have failed. Reaction of the ligands with [RuCl₂(η⁶-methyl benzoate)]₂ (Dim2) has furnished complexes [RuCl₂(η⁶-methyl benzoate)(κP-P*)] 6 and 7 (6a–c, P* = 2a–c; 7a–b, P* = 3a–b). The methyl benzoate of 6a and 6b has been successfully replaced by the phenyl ring of the arm of the phosphine, yielding complexes [RuCl₂(κP-η⁶-phenyl)-P*] (5a and 5b). Unexpectedly, complex 6c has led to tethered [RuCl₂(κP-η⁶-phenyl)-P(2-biphenylyl)PhR] complex (9c), where the coordinated phenyl ring belongs to the 2-biphenylyl group. Reaction of P(2-biphenylyl)PhR (R = OMe, Me, i-Pr, and Fc (ferrocenyl)) with Dim2 has given complexes [RuCl₂(η⁶-methyl benzoate)(κP-P(2-biphenylyl)PhR)] (10c–13c).
The replacement of methyl benzoate by the phenyl ring of the
2-biphenylyl of the phosphine can be performed at room temperature in
the presence of light, giving tethered complexes [RuCl₂(κP-η⁶-phenyl)-P(2-biphenylyl)PhR] (14c–17c). Phosphines bearing a substituted 2-biphenylyl group (PArPhR; d (Ar = 2-p-terphenylyl; R = OMe, Me, i-Pr), e (Ar = 2-m-terphenylyl; R = OMe, i-Pr), f (Ar = 2-(1′-naphthyl)phenyl; R = OMe, i-Pr), and g (Ar = 2-(2′-naphthyl)phenyl; R = OMe, i-Pr) have been prepared. Phosphines f
are present as a mixture of atropisomers. The corresponding Ru
complexes have been prepared and subjected to tethering. Tethered
complexes with phosphines d are single species in solution,
whereas the rest of the phosphines give diastereomeric mixtures with
little stereoselection. All complexes have been evaluated in
Ru-catalyzed hydrogen transfer of acetophenone in i-PrOH as a solvent obtaining full conversions and up to 47% ee using precursor [RuCl₂(κP-η⁶-phenyl)-P*] (26f, P* = P(2-(1′-naphthyl)phenyl)(OMe)Ph.

The Influence of Quasiplanar Structures of Partially Oxygen-Bridged Triphenylamine Dimers on the Properties of their Bulk Films

Hidetaka Nishimura, Tatsuya Fukushima, Atsushi Wakamiya, Yasujiro Murata, and Hironori Kaji

10.1246/bcsj.20160031

Two kinds of oxygen-bridged triphenylamine dimers show characteristic charge-transporting behaviors, which are attributed to the difference in the partially retained π-stacking structures in their vapor-deposited films. OLEDs using these compounds as hole-injection layers exhibited higher external quantum efficiencies compared to a standard device.

Abstract

A
fast and site-selective biaryl synthesis via dehydrogenative C–H/C–H
arylation in a ball mill was developed. In this paper, both
electron-deficient oximes and electron-rich anilides quickly and under
mild conditions provided arylation with various arenes to give the
biaryl products in high-level selectivity. Given the solventless
mechanochemical conditions, the transformation obviated the use of large
amounts of arene coupling partners as solvents and allowed utilization
of more-complicated and more-expensive arenes as coupling partners,
which may dramatically enhance the application prospect of the C–H/C–H
arylation strategy.

Abstract

Manganese
is found in the active center of numerous enzymes that operate by an
outer-sphere homolytic C–H cleavage. Thus, a plethora of bioinspired
radical-based C–H functionalizations by manganese catalysis have been
devised during the past decades. In contrast, organometallic C–H
activation by means of manganese catalysis has emerged only recently as
an increasingly viable tool in organic synthesis. These
manganese(I)-catalyzed processes enabled a variety of C–H
functionalizations with ample scope, which very recently set the stage
for substitutive C–H functionalizations. The versatile manganese
catalysis largely operates by an isohypsic, thus redox-neutral, mode of
action through chelation assistance, and provided step-economical access
to structurally divers compounds of relevance to inter alia bioorganic, agrochemical, and medicinal chemistry as well as the material sciences.

Abstract

The
past decade has seen the development of a new reactivity concept,
exploiting the ubiquity of C–H bonds. The direct activation of this bond
type brings forth a straightforward way for the derivatization of
organic molecules. Consequently, the design of metal catalyzed C–H bond
functionalization reactions has become a flourishing area in organic
synthesis. Thus, this review focuses on molecular transformation of
“unactivated” C(sp³)–H and C(sp²)–H bonds present
in feedstock and readily available hydrocarbons into valuable chemicals
by nanoparticle-leveraged C–H activation, resulting in more sustainable
approaches for industrial applications. The distinctive reactivity
properties of these nanoentities lead to remarkable reactivity
specificities depending on the type of surface sites and the structure
dynamics, directly impacting the process selectivity.

A new family of five new mononuclear Cu(I)
triphenylphosphine complexes derived from methylated
5-trifluoromethyl-3-(2′-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole ligands has been
synthesized and well characterized. They all show an N₂P₂
distorted tetrahedral geometry and the methylated
5-trifluoromethyl-3-(2′-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole ligands display the
mono-anionic η²(N1,N2) and charge-neutral η²(N1,N4) chelating coordination modes, along with the 1,2,4-triazolyl ring inversion induced by the NH ↔ N⁻ transformation. These Cu(I)
complexes are all emissive in solution and solid states at ambient
temperature, which can be well modulated by changing the methyl position
on the pyridyl ring and regulating the NH ↔ N⁻
conversion of the 1,2,4-triazolyl ring. It is also shown that the
deprotonation of 1,2,4-triazolyl-NH can markedly improve the
luminescence properties of Cu(I) complexes.

Abstract

A
new method was demonstrated to overcome the selectivity issue of
radical–radical cross-coupling toward the synthesis of asymmetric diaryl
thioethers. The preliminary mechanism was revealed by radical-trapping
experiments, DFT calculations, and kinetics, etc., indicating that the
C–S bond formed through cross-coupling of a thiyl radical and an aryl
radical cation. Moreover, the formation of an aryl radical cation
instead of the C–H bond cleavage was determined as the rate-limiting
step.

Abstract

Cross-dehydrogenative
coupling (CDC) of two unfunctionalized heteroarenes has been recognized
as an ideal transformation to synthesize privileged heterobiaryl
scaffolds. However, regioselective activation and transformation of a
specific set of two heterocyclic C–H bonds among other bonds have been
extremely challenging. Thus, discovering a new controlling element to
achieve regio-controlled and regio-divergent heterocyclic CDCs is
considered crucial. In this Letter, the unprecedented use of organic
halides as an oxidant to achieve the CDC reaction of pyridines and
benzoxazoles with palladium catalyst is described. Moreover, the
regioselectivity of the pyridine functionalization site can be
controlled by the choice of organic halides.

Abstract

α-Arylalkenes and trialkyl-substituted alkenes undergo carboxylation with CO₂ in the presence of EtAlCl₂
and 2,6-dibromopyridine to afford the corresponding α,β- and/or
β,γ-unsaturated carboxylic acids. This reaction is suggested to proceed
via the electrophilic substitution of EtAlCl₂ with the aid of
the base, followed by the carbonation of the resulting ate complex.
This reaction can be applied to terminal dialkylalkenes by using a
mixture of 2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine and 2,6-dibromopyridine.

Abstract

Mechanoinduced
phase transitions of emissive organic crystalline materials have
received much attention. Although a variety of such luminescent
mechanochromic compounds have been reported, it is challenging to
develop mechanochromic compounds with crystal-to-crystal phase
transitions in which precise structural information about molecular
arrangements can be obtained. Here, we report a screening approach to
explore mechanochromic compounds exhibiting a crystal-to-crystal phase
transition. We prepared 48 para-substituted (R¹) phenyl[para-substituted (R²) phenyl isocyanide]gold(I) complexes designated R¹–R² (six R¹ and eight R²
substituents) and then performed three-step screening experiments. The
first screening step was selection of emissive complexes under UV light,
which gave 37 emissive R¹–R²
complexes. The second screening step involved evaluation of the
mechanochromic properties by emission spectroscopy. Twenty-eight
complexes were found to be mechanochromic. The third screening step
involved preparation of single crystals, reprecipitated powders, and
ground powders of the 28 mechanochromic R¹–R²
complexes. The changes in the powder diffraction patterns of these
complexes induced by mechanical stimulation were investigated. Two
compounds exhibited a crystal-to-crystal phase transition upon
mechanical stimulation, including the previously reported H–H complex. Single crystals of the as-prepared and ground forms of the newly discovered CF₃–CN complex were obtained. Density functional theory calculations indicated that the mechanoinduced red-shifted emission of CF₃–CN is caused by formation of aurophilic interactions. Comparison of the crystal structures of CF₃–CN
with those of the other complexes suggests that the weaker
intermolecular interactions in the as-prepared form are an important
structural factor for the observed mechanoinduced crystal-to-crystal
phase transition.

Abstract

There
are few examples of catalytic transfer hydrogenations of simple alkenes
and alkynes that use water as a stoichiometric H or D atom donor. We
have found that diboron reagents efficiently mediate the transfer of H
or D atoms from water directly onto unsaturated C–C bonds using a
palladium catalyst. This reaction is conducted on a broad variety of
alkenes and alkynes at ambient temperature, and boric acid is the sole
byproduct. Mechanistic experiments suggest that this reaction is made
possible by a hydrogen atom transfer from water that generates a
Pd–hydride intermediate. Importantly, complete deuterium incorporation
from stoichiometric D₂O has also been achieved.

Abstract

We report here the remarkable properties of PAd₃, a crystalline air-stable solid accessible through a scalable S_N1 reaction. Spectroscopic data reveal that PAd₃,
benefiting from the polarizability inherent to large hydrocarbyl
groups, exhibits unexpected electron releasing character that exceeds
other alkylphosphines and falls within a range dominated by
N-heterocyclic carbenes. Dramatic effects in catalysis are also enabled
by PAd₃ during Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of
chloro(hetero)arenes (40 examples) at low Pd loading, including the
late-stage functionalization of commercial drugs. Exceptional space-time
yields are demonstrated for the syntheses of industrial precursors to
valsartan and boscalid from chloroarenes with ∼2 × 10⁴ turnovers in 10 min.

Abstract

Tetraphenylenes
not only are theoretically and experimentally interesting but also have
potential applications in a variety of fields such as materials
science, supramolecular chemistry, and asymmetric catalysis. A facile
and efficient approach is reported for the syntheis of tetraphenylene
and its derivatives from 2-iodobiphenyls via Pd-catalyzed C–H
activation. A range of substituted tetraphenylenes can be synthesized
using this method, and the reaction can be performed on gram scale with
relatively high efficiency, demonstrating its practical utility. This
novel approach provides easy access to tetraphenylenes and should
facilitate research on the application of this type of fascinating
molecules.

Abstract

A
novel sequential difunctionalization reaction of 2-iodobiphenyl has
been developed by exploiting the distinct reactivities of a palladacycle
and an acyclic arylpalladium species. In this tandem reaction, an in
situ formed dibenzopalladacyclopentadiene reacts selectively with an
alkyl halide, after which the thus formed acyclic arylpalladium species
selectively undergoes a Heck reaction with an alkene. This work
demonstrates the strong relationship between the coordination mode of a
transition metal complex and its reactivity, which could shed light on
the mechanisms of other transition-metal-catalyzed reactions and offer
the opportunity to develop other synthetically enabling organic
transformations.

Abstract

An
easily accessible copper(I)/N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex
enables a regioselective hydride transfer to allylic bromides, an
allylic reduction. The resulting aryl- and alkyl-substituted branched
α-olefins, which are valuable building blocks for synthesis, are
obtained in good yields and regioselectivity. A commercially available
silane, (TMSO)₂Si(Me)H, is employed as hydride source. This
protocol offers a unified alternative to the established metal-catalyzed
allylic substitutions with carbon nucleophiles, as no adaption of the
catalyst to the nature of the nucleophile is required.

Abstract

A
novel intramolecular oxidative diamination of
bis(2-aminophenyl)acetylene for the synthesis of the structurally
intriguing π-conjugated polyheterocyclic scaffold,
5,10-dihydroindolo[3,2-b]indole (DHII), has been developed under Cu(hfacac)₂/O₂ oxidation systems. The structure design of bis(2-aminophenyl)acetylene bearing both N,N-dimethylamine and primary amine groups is crucial for constructing the corresponding DHII scaffold. Notably, an intermolecular N-methyl transfer from the nitrogen atom of N,N-dimethylamine
to the primary amine takes place, which is a critical step for the
successful implementation of the present annulation process.
