Abstract
A binary Ni/Eu catalytic system has been developed, which enables an efficient reductive dicarbofunctionalization of unactivated alkenes with alkyl halides and malononitriles. The combination of Ni electron-shuttle catalysis with Eu(OTf)3, a non-redox-type Lewis acid, effectively activates the iminyl radicals, enabling the direct formation of the C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond and β-ketonitrile functionality across a variety of C═C double bonds. This reaction allows for the expedient synthesis of densely functionalized cyclic β-ketonitriles bearing all-carbon quaternary centers.

Abstract
Functionalization of C(sp3)-H bonds represents the most straightforward and atom-economical transformation in organic synthesis. An innovative approach integrating photocatalytic hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and transition metal catalysis has made significant progress in the coupling of α-heterosubstituted C-H bonds with alkyl halides. However, unactivated alkanes were ineffective as a result of the preponderance of byproduct formation. Herein, we demonstrate direct HAT and nickel catalysis in the coupling of cycloalkanes and benzyl bromides/primary alkyl iodides. Additionally, tetrabutylammonium decatungstate (TBADT) was recovered and recycled.

Abstract
The construction of C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds remains one of the most difficult challenges in cross-coupling chemistry. Here, we report a photoredox/nickel dual catalytic approach that enables the simultaneous formation of two C(sp3)-C(sp3) linkages via trimolecular cross-coupling of alkenes with alkyl halides and hypervalent iodine-based reagents. The reaction harnesses a bimolecular homolytic substitution (SH2) mechanism and chemoselective halogen-atom transfer (XAT) to orchestrate the regioselective addition of electrophilic and nucleophilic alkyl radicals across unactivated alkenes without the need for a directing auxiliary. Utility is highlighted through late-stage (fluoro)alkylation and (trideutero)methylation of C═C bonds bearing different substitution patterns, offering straightforward access to drug-like molecules comprising sp3-hybridized carbon scaffolds.

Abstract
Application of the borrowing hydrogen strategy facilitates utilization of abundantly available alcohols for linear or branched long-chain alcohols. Selective synthesis of such alcohols is highly challenging and involves the utilization of transition metal catalysts towards the desired cross-coupled product. Herein, we have highlighted recent advances (from 2015 to 2023) towards the synthesis of higher alcohols. Major focus has been given to the development of ligands, including transition metal catalysts. Judicious catalyst design plays a key role in the alkylation process and is summarised in this review.

Abstract
We report a recyclable and efficient catalyst system based on a nickel-benzene tricarboxylic acid metal-organic framework (Ni-BTC MOF) for the borylation of aryl halides, including aryl chlorides, with bis(pinacolato)diboron, affording aryl boronate esters in high yields (up to >99% yield) with high selectivity. This protocol demonstrates broad functional group tolerance. Catalyst can be recyclable up to four times, and gram-scale reactions further highlights the usefulness of this method. In situ EPR experiments confirmed the formation of catalytically active Ni(I) species.

Abstract
The development of bimolecular homolytic substitution (SH2) catalysis has expanded cross-coupling chemistries by enabling the selective combination of any primary radical with any secondary or tertiary radical through a radical sorting mechanism1-8. Biomimetic9,10 SH2 catalysis can be used to merge common feedstock chemicals-such as alcohols, acids and halides-in various permutations for the construction of a single C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond. The ability to sort these two distinct radicals across commercially available alkenes in a three-component manner would enable the simultaneous construction of two C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds, greatly accelerating access to complex molecules and drug-like chemical space11. However, the simultaneous in situ formation of electrophilic and primary nucleophilic radicals in the presence of unactivated alkenes is problematic, typically leading to statistical radical recombination, hydrogen atom transfer, disproportionation and other deleterious pathways12,13. Here we report the use of bimolecular homolytic substitution catalysis to sort an electrophilic radical and a nucleophilic radical across an unactivated alkene. This reaction involves the in situ formation of three distinct radical species, which are then differentiated by size and electronics, allowing for regioselective formation of the desired dialkylated products. This work accelerates access to pharmaceutically relevant C(sp3)-rich molecules and defines a distinct mechanistic approach for alkene dialkylation.

Abstract
A nickel-catalyzed reductive dimerization of bromocyclobutenes to produce unusual and unprecedented cyclobutene dimers was developed. In a stereoconvergent procedure, various bromocyclobutenes were readily dimerized in good yields, with good diastereoselectivities and broad functional group tolerance. Notably, the presence of a carbonyl group in the starting material appears to dictate diastereoselectivity.

Abstract
Reactions of unactivated alkyl chlorides under mild and sustainable conditions are rare compared to those of alkyl bromides or iodides. As a result, synthetic methods capable of modifying the vast chemical space of chloroalkane reagents, wastes, and materials are limited. We report the cobalt-catalyzed reductive addition of unactivated alkyl chlorides to conjugated alkenes. Co-catalyzed activation of alkyl chlorides is performed under electroreductive conditions, and the resulting reactions constitute formal alkyl-alkyl bond formation. In addition to developing an operationally simple methodology, detailed mechanistic studies provide insights into the elementary steps of a proposed catalytic cycle. In particular, we propose a switch in the mechanism of C-Cl bond activation from nucleophilic substitution to halogen atom abstraction, which is critical for efficiently generating alkyl radicals. These mechanistic insights were leveraged in designing ligands that enable couplings of primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl chlorides.

Abstract
A recyclable protocol using a CeO2-nanorod catalyst for borylation of alkyl halides with B2pin2 (pin = OCMe2CMe2O) is reported. A wide range of synthetically useful alkyl boronate esters are readily obtained from primary and secondary alkyl electrophiles, including unactivated alkyl chlorides, demonstrating broad utility and functional group tolerance. Preliminary investigation revealed an involvement of in situ formed catalytically active boryl species. The catalyst can be reused for up to six runs without appreciable loss in activity. In addition, we have demonstrated the use of this recyclable catalyst for the borylation of aryl halides with B2pin2, providing valuable aryl boronate esters under neat conditions.

The reactions utilize a simple Pd-catalyst and work with broad range of aminoenynes, aldehydes and organometallic reagents under mild reaction conditions. The products represent useful intermediates for chemical synthesis due to the versatility of the conjugated diene. Preliminary mechanistic details of the method are also revealed.

Abstract
The C-C bond formation reactions are important in organic synthesis. Heck reaction is known to arylate the terminal carbon of olefins; however, direct alkylation of the terminal carbon of olefin is limited. Herein, we report a novel ruthenium-catalyzed selective cross-coupling reaction of styrene and α-diazoesters to form a new C-C bond over cyclopropanation via the C-H insertion process for the first time. Using this novel methodology, a wide variety of substrates have been utilized and a variety of α-vinylated benzylic esters and densely functionalized olefins have been synthesized with good stereoselectivity under mild reaction conditions. The overall reaction process proceeds through the carbene insertion into styrene to form the desired products in good to excellent yields with proper stereoselectivity. The selective C-H inserted product, wide substrate scope, and excellent functional group tolerance are the best features of this work.

Abstract
Chemo and regioselective dialkylation of alkene is an efficient protocol for constructing useful chemicals, but challenges remain in the unrestricted application of alkylating reagents. Alkyl bromide belongs to the easy-to-access and operable alkyl electrophiles that can be used in reductive coupling with alkenes. Here, we reported convenient strategies for dialkylcyclization and homodialkylation of unactivated β,γ- and γ,δ-unsaturated alkenyl amides with 1,3-dibromoalkanes or primary alkyl bromides under nickel-catalyzed reductive conditions that exhibited high regioselectivity and functional-group tolerance.

[PMID: 37708153 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202311941] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Revised: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023]
Abstract
Herein, an electrochemically driven NiH-catalyzed reductive coupling of alkyl halides and alkyl alkenes for the construction of Csp3 -Csp3 bonds is firstly reported. Notably, alkyl halides serve dual function as coupling substrates and as hydrogen sources to generate NiH species under electrochemical conditions. The tunable nature of this reaction is realized by introducing an intramolecular coordinating group to the substrate, where the product can be easily adjusted to give the desired branched products. The method proceeds under mild conditions, exhibits a broad substrate scope, and affords moderate to excellent yields with over 70 examples, including late-stage modification of natural products and drug derivatives. Mechanistic insights offer evidence for an electrochemically driven coupling process. The sp3 -carbon-halogen bonds can be activated through single electron transfer (SET) by the nickel catalyst in its low valence state, generated by cathodic reduction, and the generation of NiH species from alkyl halides is pivotal to this transformation.

Abstract
An efficient Pd-catalyzed cascade alkynylation of aryl phenol-tethered alkynes with alkynyl bromides is described. This protocol could provide various conjugated 1,3-enynes possessing a polysubstituted spirocyclohexadienone, as well as an all-carbon tetrasubstituted alkene moiety. The products could also undergo ring-expansion and cyclization transformations under different conditions to convert to diverse fused cyclic scaffolds.

Abstract
The construction of Csp3-Csp3 bonds through Negishi-type reactions using alkylzinc reagents as the pronucleophiles is of great importance for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. However, the use of air and moisture sensitive solutions of conventional alkylzinc halides, which show unsatisfying reactivity and limitation of generality in twofold Csp3-Csp3 cross-couplings, still represents drawbacks. We herein report the first preparation of solid and salt-stabilized alkylzinc pivalates by OPiv-coordination, which exhibit enhanced stability and a distinct advantage of reacting well in cobalt-catalyzed difluoroalkylation-alkylation of dienoates, thus achieving the modular and site-selective installation of CF2- and Csp3-groups across double bonds in a stereoretentive manifold. This reaction proceeds under simple and mild conditions and features broad substrate scope and functional group compatibility. Kinetic experiments highlight that OPiv-tuning on the alkylzinc pivalates is the key for improving their reactivity in twofold Csp3-Csp3 cross-couplings. Furthermore, facile modifications of bioactive molecules and fluorinated products demonstrate the synthetical utility of our salt-stabilized alkylzinc reagents and cobalt-catalyzed alkyldifluoroalkylation protocol.

Abstract
Nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of unactivated tertiary alkyl electrophiles with alkylmetal reagents is still a challenge. We report herein a nickel-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling of alkyl halides, including unactivated tertiary halides, with boron-stabilized organozinc reagent BpinCH2ZnI, yielding versatile organoboron products with high functional-group tolerance. Importantly, the Bpin group was found to be indispensable for accessing the quaternary carbon center. The synthetic practicability of the prepared quaternary organoboronates was demonstrated by their conversion to other useful compounds.

Abstract
A dual photoredox/palladium catalyzed regio- and enantioselective reductive cross-coupling of allylic acetates with tertiary/secondary alkyl bromides has been achieved, and Hantzsch ester is used as a homogeneous organic reductant. This straightforward protocol enables the stereoselective construction of C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds under mild reaction conditions. Mechanistic studies suggest that this reaction involves radical pathways and a chiral Pd complex enables the control of the regio- and enantioselectivities.

Abstract
An efficient strategy for preventing the β-hydride elimination of alkylpalladium species by ligation of the palladium with adjacent amino-group was developed, which enabled a novel palladium-catalyzed ring-closing aminoalkylative amination of unactivated aminoenynes. The reaction is amenable to aminals, as well as aliphatic aldehydes with secondary amines, which provides straightforward access to structurally diverse exocyclic allenic amines bearing 5 to 12-membered N-heterocycles. With chiral phosphoramidite-ligated palladium complex as the catalyst, an enantioselective variant was achieved with up to 93 % ee. Simultaneously, synthetic transformations of the chiral products were also conducted to afford structurally unique spirodiamines including one pharmaceutically active molecule via axial-to-central chirality transfer.

Abstract
While classical cross-couplings are dominated by palladium and nickel catalysts, cobalt-based catalysts have shown unique advantages for such cross-coupling reactions in terms of higher catalytic activity and lower toxicity. Herein, we describe a novel cobalt-catalyzed alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling reaction of hydrazone with alkyl halides under mild reaction conditions, where the use of a PNP-type pincer ligand is essential for catalysis. Both aldehyde and ketone hydrazones are compatible with this reaction, giving a series of C(sp3)-C(sp3) coupling products in moderate to good yields.

Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed reductive coupling of electrophiles has emerged as a powerful tool for the construction of molecules. While major achievements have been made in the field of cross-couplings between organic halides and pseudohalides, an increasing number of reports demonstrates reactions involving more readily available, low-cost, and stable, but unreactive electrophiles. This account summarizes the recent results in our laboratory focusing on this topic. These findings typically include deoxygenative C-C coupling of alcohols, reductive alkylation of alkenyl acetates, reductive C-Si coupling of chlorosilanes, and reductive C-Ge coupling of chlorogermanes.The reductive deoxygenative coupling of alcohols with electrophiles is synthetically appealing, but the potential of this chemistry remains to be disclosed. Our initial study focused on the reaction of allylic alcohols and aryl bromides by the combination of nickel and Lewis acid catalysis. This method offers a selectivity that is opposite to that of the classic Tsuji-Trost reactions. Further investigation on the reaction of benzylic alcohols led to the foundation of a dynamic kinetic cross-coupling strategy with applications in the nickel-catalyzed reductive arylation of benzylic alcohols and cobalt-catalyzed enantiospecific reductive alkenylation of allylic alcohols. The titanium catalysis was later established to produce carbon radicals directly from unactivated tertiary alcohols via C-OH cleavage. The development of their coupling reactions with carbon fragments delivers new methods for the construction of all-carbon quaternary centers. These reactions have shown high selectivity for the functionalization of tertiary alcohols, leaving primary and secondary alcohols intact. Alkenyl acetates are inexpensive, stable, and environmentally friendly and are considered the most attractive alkenyl reagents. The development of reductive alkylation of alkenyl acetates with benzyl ammoniums and alkyl bromides offers mild approaches for the conversion of ketones into aliphatic alkenes.Extensive studies in this field have enabled us to extend the cross-electrophile coupling from carbon to silicon and germanium chemistry. These reactions harness the ready availability of chlorosilanes and chlorogermanes but suffer from the challenge of their low reactivity toward transition metals. Under reductive nickel catalysis, a broad range of alkenyl and aryl electrophiles couple well with vinyl- and hydrochlorosilanes. The use of alkyl halides as coupling partners led to the formation of functionalized alkylsilanes. The C-Ge coupling seems less substrate-dependent, and various common chlorogermanes couple well with aryl, alkenyl, and alkyl electrophiles. In general, functionalities such as Grignard-sensitive groups (e.g., acid, amide, alcohol, ketone, and ester), acid-sensitive groups (e.g., ketal and THP protection), alkyl fluoride and chloride, aryl bromide, alkyl tosylate and mesylate, silyl ether, and amine are tolerated. These methods provide new access to organosilicon and organogermanium compounds, some of which are challenging to obtain otherwise.

Abstract
The enantioconvergent cross-coupling of racemic alkyl halides represents a powerful tool for the synthesis of enantioenriched molecules. In this regard, the first-row transition metal catalysis provides a suitable mechanism for stereoconvergence by converting racemic alkyl halides to prochiral radical intermediates owing to their good single-electron transfer ability. In contrast to the noble development of chiral nickel catalyst, copper-catalyzed enantioconvergent radical cross-coupling of alkyl halides is less studied. Besides the enantiocontrol issue, the major challenge arises from the weak reducing capability of copper that slows the reaction initiation. Recently, significant efforts have been dedicated to basic research aimed at developing chiral ligands for copper-catalyzed enantioconvergent radical cross-coupling of racemic alkyl halides. This perspective will discuss the advances in this burgeoning area with particular emphasis on the strategic chiral anionic ligand design to tune the reducing capability of copper for the reaction initiation under thermal conditions from our research group.

Abstract
The cleavage and transformation of alkenyl C(sp2)-N bonds is a significant synthetic challenge. Herein we described an unprecedented nickel-catalyzed reductive borylation of enaminones to synthesize β-ketone boronic esters. Notably, B2pin2 played the dual role in this process, and water served as a hydrogen source, which was transferred to target products. The air-stable nickel catalyst was applied to the cleavage of alkenyl C(sp2)-N bonds, concomitant with the reductive process of the alkenyl boronic ester intermediates, on the basis of the mechanism study.

Abstract
A low-molecular-weight, solid CO surrogate that only requires a low-power LED for activation to release 2 equiv of CO is reported. The surrogate can be universally implemented in various palladium-catalyzed carbonylative transformations. It is also compatible with protocols that employ blue-light to activate conventionally inaccessible substrates such as nonactivated alkyl halides. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the photolabile CO-releasing scaffold can be installed into polymeric materials, thereby creating new materials with CO-releasing capabilities.

Abstract
A Pd/Et3N·HI-catalyzed intramolecular C-H alkylation of indoles with epoxides was achieved to furnish N-fused indole frameworks (5-, 6-, and 7-membered rings) bearing an alcohol group. The conversion proceeded smoothly in the presence of a catalytic amount of Et3N·HI together with a palladium catalyst and exhibited great functional group tolerance. The employment of Et3N·HI not only avoids the prior preparation of alkyl halide substrates but also is the key to the high chemoselective ring-opening of epoxides. Preliminary mechanism explorations strongly support a radical pathway, and the catalytic cycle was established tentatively according to the mechanism investigation experiments.

Abstract
The formation of a C-C bond through Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling reactions in water with efficient heterogeneous catalysts is a challenging task. In this current study, a highly reduced graphene oxide (HRG) immobilized palladium (Pd) nanoparticle based catalyst (HRG-Py-Pd) is used to catalyze Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling reactions in water. During the preparation of the catalyst, amino pyrene is used as a smart functionalizing ligand, which offered chemically specific binding sites for the effective and homogeneous nucleation of Pd NPs on the surface of HRG, which significantly enhanced the physical stability and dispersibility of the resulting catalyst in an aqueous medium. Microscopic analysis of the catalyst revealed a uniform distribution of ultrafine Pd NPs on a solid support. The catalytic properties of HRG-Py-Pd are tested towards the Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling reactions of various aryl halides with acrylic acid in an aqueous medium. Furthermore, the catalytic efficacy of HRG-Py-Pd is also compared with its non-functionalized counterparts such as HRG-Pd and pristine Pd NPs (Pd-NPs). Using the HRG-Py-Pd nanocatalyst, the highest conversion of 99% is achieved in the coupling reaction of 4-bromoanisol and acrylic acid in an aqueous solution in a relatively short period of time (3 h), with less quantity of catalyst (3 mg). Comparatively, pristine Pd NPs delivered lower conversion (∼92%) for the same reaction required a long reaction time and a large amount of catalyst (5.3 mg). Indeed, the conversion of the reaction further decreased to just 40% when 3 mg of Pd-NPs was used which was sufficient to produce 99% conversion in the case of HRG-Py-Pd. On the other hand, HRG-Pd did not deliver any conversion and was ineffective even after using a high amount of catalyst and a longer reaction time. The inability of the HRG-Pd to promote coupling reactions can be attributed to the agglomeration of Pd NPs which reduced the dispersion quality of the catalyst in water. Therefore, the high aqueous stability of HRG-Py-Pd due to smart functionalization can be utilized to perform other organic transformations in water which was otherwise not possible.

Abstract
Anchoring single metal atoms on enzymes has great potential to generate hybrid catalysts with high activity and selectivity for reactions that cannot be driven by traditional metal catalysts. Herein, we develop a photochemical method to construct a stable single-atom enzyme-metal complex by binding single metal atoms to the carbon radicals generated on an enzyme-polymer conjugate. The metal mass loading of Pd-anchored enzyme is up to 4.0% while maintaining the atomic dispersion of Pd. The cooperative catalysis between lipase-active site and single Pd atom accelerates alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling reaction between 1-bromohexane and B-n-hexyl-9-BBN with high efficiency (TOF is 540 h−1), exceeding that of the traditional catalyst Pd(OAc)2 by a factor of 300 under ambient conditions. Single atom catalysts have been described for efficient and selective metal catalysis, while enzymes have been known for their recognition and binding. In this manuscript, the authors develop a photochemical method to combine the two platforms in one, and demonstrate it by anchoring Pd atoms on Candida Antarctic lipase B, for highly efficient alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling reactions.

Abstract
Compounds rich in sp3-hybridized carbons are desirable in drug discovery. Nickel-catalyzed hydrocarbonation of alkenes is a potentially efficient method to synthesize these compounds. By using abundant, readily available, and stable alkenes as pro-nucleophiles, these reactions can have broad scope and high functional group tolerance. However, this methodology is still in an early stage of development, as the first efficient examples were reported only in 2016. Herein, we summarize the progress of this emerging field, with an emphasis on enantioselective reactions. We highlight major developments, critically discuss a wide range of possible mechanisms, and offer our perspective of the state and challenges of the field. We hope this Perspective will stimulate future works in this area, making the methodology widely applicable in organic synthesis.

Abstract
The electron pair of the heteroatom in heterocycles will coordinate with metal catalysts and decrease or even inhibit their catalytic activity consequently. In this work, a pincer ruthenium-catalyzed heterocycle compatible alkoxycarbonylation of alkyl iodides has been developed. Benefitting from the pincer ligand, a variety of heterocycles, such as thiophenes, morpholine, unprotected indoles, pyrrole, pyridine, pyrimidine, furan, thiazole, pyrazole, benzothiadiazole, and triazole, are compatible here.

Abstract
In recent years, visible light-induced transition metal catalysis has emerged as a new paradigm in organic photocatalysis, which has led to the discovery of unprecedented transformations as well as the improvement of known reactions. In this subfield of photocatalysis, a transition metal complex serves a double duty by harvesting photon energy and then enabling bond forming/breaking events mostly via a single catalytic cycle, thus contrasting the established dual photocatalysis in which an exogenous photosensitizer is employed. In addition, this approach often synergistically combines catalyst-substrate interaction with photoinduced process, a feature that is uncommon in conventional photoredox chemistry. This Review describes the early development and recent advances of this emerging field.
