Abstract
Herein, a palladium-catalyzed 1,3-alkynyl migration of allylic alcohol for the synthesis of β-alkynyl ketone was described. This intramolecular rearrangement reaction demonstrated an enhanced reactivity compared to the traditional intermolecular alkynylation by circumventing the dimerization of alkynes, exhibiting a specific selectivity toward β-alkynyl elimination. Moreover, this reaction featured wide substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, and 100% atom economy.

Abstract
The Suzuki coupling in aqueous micelles has received much attention, but few attempts focus on its substituent effects. In view of the significant substituent effects on this reaction, it is necessary and practical to investigate its substituent effects. Herein, the substituent effects of Suzuki coupling in aqueous micelles are well established through Hammett plots and kinetic studies. In the cases of aryl halides, the rate-determining step of the reaction will shift from the oxidation addition step to the transmetalation step as the substituents' electron withdrawing ability increases, so aryl halides with weak electron-withdrawing groups exhibit better reactivity than ones containing strong electron-withdrawing or electron-donating groups. For arylboronic acids, the electron donating groups are beneficial to the Suzuki reaction, while the electron withdrawing group is unfavorable for the reaction. The Suzuki reactions of substituent exchange between arylboronic acids and aryl halides further confirm these substituent effects.

Abstract
A series of C-3 arylated huperzine A (HPA) derivatives (1-30) were designed and synthesized in good yields via palladium-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. Cholinesterase inhibitory and neuroprotective activities of all 30 derivatives were evaluated. Cholinesterase inhibition results revealed that derivatives 2 and 15 exhibited dual inhibitory activity against both acetylcholinesterase (AChE inhibition: 2, IC50 = 1.205 ± 0.395 μM; 15, IC50 = 0.225 ± 0.062 μM) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE inhibition: 2, IC50 = 8.598 ± 3.605 μM; 15, IC50 = 4.013 ± 0.068 μM), a feature not observed in huperzine A. Molecular docking results indicated that the introduction of aryl groups enhanced the affinity of the derivatives for the acyl-binding pocket of BChE, thereby limiting the hydrolysis of acetyl choline. However, these derivatives exhibited poor performance in cytotoxicity and neuroprotection assays.

Abstract
A new trifluoroacetylation reagent was developed by using inexpensive and readily available trifluoroacetic anhydride and N-phenyl-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide for the first time. The reaction of (het)aryl boronic acids with the new trifluoroacetylation reagent, N-phenyl-N-tosyltrifluoroacetamide, proceeded smoothly in the presence of a palladium catalyst to provide trifluoromethyl ketones in satisfactory to excellent yields. Various groups, including the synthetically useful functional groups Cl, TMS, and PhCO, were tolerated well under the current reaction conditions. This new trifluoroacetylation reagent can be used in the large-scale synthesis of trifluoromethyl ketones, even at a low palladium catalyst loading.

Abstract
Using heterogeneous single-atom catalysts (SACs) in the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling (SMC) has promising economic and environmental benefits over traditionally applied palladium complexes. However, limited mechanistic understanding hinders progress in their design and implementation. Our study provides critical insights into the working principles of Pd1@C3N4, a promising SAC for the SMC. We demonstrate that the base, ligand, and solvent play pivotal roles in facilitating interface formation with reaction media, activating Pd centers, and modulating competing reaction pathways. Controlling the previously overlooked interplay between base strength, reagent solubility, and surface wetting is essential for mitigating mass transfer limitations in the triphasic reaction system and promoting catalyst reusability. Optimum conditions for Pd1@C3N4 require polar solvents, intermediate base strength, and increased water content. Our investigations reveal that high selectivity requires minimizing competitive coordination of bases and phosphine ligands to the Pd centers, to avoid homocoupling and alternative reductive elimination mechanisms giving rise to phosphonium side-products. Furthermore, in situ XAS investigations probing electronic structures and coordination environments of Pd sites further rationalize the base and ligand coordination, confirming and expanding upon previous computational hypotheses for Pd1@C3N4. This understanding allows for designing a more selective ligand-free reaction pathway using the solvent and base to modulate the chemical environment of the active sites. We highlight the importance of environment-compatible surface tension, the creation of coordinatively available active sites, and the stabilization of partially reduced Pd centers, emphasizing the importance of mechanistic studies to advance the design of SACs in organic liquid phase reactions.

Abstract
The Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling (SMC) remains one of the most widely used transformations available to chemists. Recently, robust new conditions achieving rapid reactivity under homogeneous aprotic conditions enabled by the use of potassium trimethylsilanolate (TMSOK) as a base were reported. However, the strong inhibitory effect of TMSOK restricts the generality of such conditions. Moreover, the basic nature of TMSOK impedes the use of protic heterocycles as substrates, as these latter anionic species are even more potent catalyst inhibitors. Herein, we report a thorough mechanistic study of these novel SMC conditions. Halide salt additives were found to provide a dramatic rate acceleration and mitigate the inhibitory effect of TMSOK. NMR experiments revealed that this is largely achieved by impacting the unexpected formation of inactive [LnPd(Ar)(μ-OH)]2, favoring the formation of active LnPd(Ar)(X) instead. These findings enabled an impressive substrate scope even at low catalyst loadings (0.1 mol %). Finally, halide additives were observed to enable the use of protic heterocyclic substrates, which could otherwise completely inhibit reactivity.

Abstract
Despite the paramount importance of the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling (SMC) in academia and industry, and the great promise of iron to offer sustainable catalysis, iron-catalyzed SMC involving sp3-hybridized partners is still in its infancy. We herein report the development of a versatile, well-defined electron-deficient anilido-aldimine iron(II) catalyst. This catalyst effectively performed C(sp3)-C(sp2) and C(sp3)-C(sp3) SMC of alkyl halide electrophiles and (hetero)aryl boronic ester and alkyl borane nucleophiles respectively, in the presence of a lithium amide base. These couplings operated under mild reaction conditions and displayed wide functional group compatibility including various medicinally relevant N-, O- and S-based heterocycles. They also tolerated primary, secondary and tertiary alkyl halides (Br, Cl, I), electron-neutral, -rich and -poor boronic esters and primary and secondary alkyl boranes. Our methodology could be directly and efficiently applied to synthesize key intermediates relevant to pharmaceuticals and a potential drug candidate. For C(sp3)-C(sp2) couplings, radical probe experiments militated in favor of a carbon-centered radical derived from the electrophile. At the same time, reactions run with a pre-formed activated boron nucleophile coupled to competition experiments supported the involvement of neutral, rather than an anionic, (hetero)aryl boronic ester in the key transmetalation step.

Abstract
Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) provides spatiotemporal resolution of the changing composition of emulsion droplets during aqueous-surfactant Suzuki coupling. In contrast to previous investigations, the present experiments characterize the full course of a catalytic chemical reaction, addressing key questions about reaction species buildup and correlating these microscale behaviors with bench-scale product yields. At low concentrations of (active) catalyst, droplet environments are stable; however, at higher concentrations, emulsion droplet environments change markedly. These changes are consistent with the buildup and consumption of reaction species inside the droplets. A combination of FLIM and bright-field imaging pinpoints limitations in catalyst solubility as controlling rate and degree of buildup of species in droplets. These solubility limitations are also identified as the cause of a reaction induction period and an origin of the rate-and-reproducibility advantage obtained by adding THF cosolvent. The subsequent mechanistic model from these data led to a bench-scale reaction optimization, wherein premixing the catalyst components bypasses the catalyst induction period, resulting in a faster reaction. The understanding generated by FLIM thus provides an early example of how visualizing changes in droplet compositions on the microscale during ongoing aqueous-organic reactions can be leveraged for enhancing efficiencies in bench-scale reactions.

Abstract
Sulfinamides have been widely used in organic synthesis, with research on their preparation spanning more than a century. Despite advancements in catalytic methodologies, creating sulfur stereocenters within these molecules remains a significant challenge. In this study, we present an effective and versatile method for synthesizing a diverse range of S-chirogenic sulfinamides through catalytic asymmetric aryl addition to sulfinylamines. By utilizing a nickel complex as a catalyst, this process exhibits impressive enantioselectivity and can incorporate various arylboronic acids at the sulfur position. The resulting synthetic sulfinamides are stable and highly adaptable, allowing for their conversion to a variety of sulfur-containing compounds. Our study also incorporates detailed experimental and computational studies to elucidate the reaction mechanism and factors influencing enantioselectivity.

Abstract
The Suzuki-Miyaura coupling is a widely used C-C bond forming reaction. Numerous mechanistic studies have enabled the use of low catalyst loadings and broad functional group tolerance. However, the dominant mode of transmetalation remains controversial and likely depends on the conditions employed. Herein we detail a mechanistic study of the palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling under biphasic conditions. The use of phase transfer catalysts results in a remarkable 12-fold rate enhancement in the targeted system. A shift from an oxo-palladium based transmetalation to a boronate-based pathway lies at the root of this activity. Furthermore, a study of the impact of different water loadings reveals reducing the proportion of the aqueous phase increases the reaction rate, contrary to reaction conditions typically employed in the literature. The importance of these findings is highlighted by achieving an exceptionally broad substrate scope with benzylic electrophiles using a 10-fold reduction in catalyst loading relative to literature precedent.

Abstract
Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) and uric acid transporter 1 (URAT1) are two most widely studied targets involved in production and reabsorption of uric acid, respectively. Marketed drugs almost target XOR or URAT1, but sometimes, single agents might not achieve aim of lowering uric acid to ideal value in clinic. Thus, therapeutic strategies of combining XOR inhibitors with uricosuric drugs were proposed and implemented. Based on our initial work of virtual screening, A and B were potential hits for dual-targeted inhibitors on XOR/URAT1. By docking A/B with XOR/URAT1 respectively, compounds I1-7 were designed to get different degree of inhibition effect on XOR and URAT1, and I7 showed the best inhibitory effect on XOR (IC50 = 0.037 ± 0.001 μM) and URAT1 (IC50 = 546.70 ± 32.60 μM). Further docking research on I7 with XOR/URAT1 led to the design of compounds II with the significantly improved inhibitory activity on XOR and URAT1, such as II11 and II15. Especially, for II15, the IC50 of XOR is 0.006 ± 0.000 μM, superior to that of febuxostat (IC50 = 0.008 ± 0.000 μM), IC50 of URAT1 is 12.90 ± 2.30 μM, superior to that of benzbromarone (IC50 = 27.04 ± 2.55 μM). In acute hyperuricemia mouse model, II15 showed significant uric acid lowering effect. The results suggest that II15 had good inhibitory effect on XOR/URAT1, with the possibility for further investigation in in-vivo models of hyperuricemia.

Abstract
Phenoxyimine (FI)-nickel(II)(2-tolyl)(DMAP) compounds were synthesized and evaluated as precatalysts for the C(sp2)-C(sp3) Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling of (hetero)arylboronic acids with alkyl bromides. With 5 mol % of the optimal (MeOMeFI)Ni(Aryl)(DMAP) precatalyst, the scope of the cross-coupling reaction was established and included a variety of (hetero)arylboronic acids and alkyl bromides (>50 examples, 33-97% yield). A β-hydride elimination-reductive elimination sequence from reaction with potassium isopropoxide base, yielding a potassium (FI)nickel(0)ate, was identified as a catalyst activation pathway that is responsible for halogen atom abstraction from the alkyl bromide. A combination of NMR and EPR spectroscopies identified (FI)nickel(II)-aryl complexes as the resting state during catalysis with no evidence for long-lived organic radical or odd-electron nickel intermediates. These data establish that the radical chain is short-lived and undergoes facile termination and also support a "recovering radical chain" process whereby the (FI)nickel(II)-aryl compound continually (re)initiates the radical chain. Kinetic studies established that the rate of C(sp2)-C(sp3) product formation was proportional to the concentration of the (FI)nickel(II)-aryl resting state that captures the alkyl radical for chain propagation. The proposed mechanism involves two key and concurrently operating catalytic cycles; the first involving a nickel(I/II/III) radical propagation cycle consisting of radical capture at (FI)nickel(II)-aryl, C(sp2)-C(sp3) reductive elimination, bromine atom abstraction from C(sp3)-Br, and transmetalation; and the second involving an off-cycle catalyst recovery process by slow (FI)nickel(II)-aryl → (FI)nickel(0)ate conversion for nickel(I) regeneration.

Abstract
Nickel-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling (Ni-SMC) offers the potential to reduce the cost of pharmaceutical process synthesis. However, its application has been restricted by challenges such as slow reaction rates, high catalyst loading, and a limited scope of heterocycles. Despite recent investigations, the mechanism of transmetalation in Ni-SMC, often viewed as the turnover-limiting step, remains insufficiently understood. We elucidate the "Ni-oxo" transmetalation pathway, applying PPh2Me as the ligand, and identify the formation of a nickel-oxo intermediate as the turnover-limiting step. Building on this insight, we develop a scaffolding ligand, ProPhos, featuring a pendant hydroxyl group connected to the phosphine via a linker. The design preorganizes both the nucleophile and the nickel catalyst, thereby facilitating transmetalation. This catalyst exhibits fast kinetics and robust activity across a wide range of heteroarenes, with a catalyst loading of 0.5-3 mol %. For arene substrates, the catalyst loading can be further reduced to 0.1 mol %.

Abstract
The structure of the diol from which an arylboronic ester is derived dramatically influences the rate of transmetalation in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. Some esters undergo transmetalation more than 20 times faster than the parent arylboronic acid. Herein, investigations into the influence of arylboronic ester ring size and steric properties on the mechanism of transmetalation in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction are described. Both factors impact the propensity of an arylboronic ester to bind to a dimeric palladium hydroxide complex. The reaction of hindered arylboronic esters derived from 1,2-diols (1,3,2-dioxaborolanes) with palladium hydroxide dimers to form a complex incorporating a Pd-O-B linkage is thermodynamically favorable, but the barrier to coordination is often higher than the barrier to arene transfer. In contrast, the analogous reaction between arylboronic esters derived from 1,3-diols (1,3,2-dioxaborinanes) and palladium hydroxide dimers is thermodynamically unfavorable, as 1,3,2-dioxaborinanes exhibit decreased electrophilicity compared to esters derived from 1,2- or 1,4-diols. These factors also influence the barrier of the arene transfer step, and in many cases, arylboronic esters that do not easily form Pd-O-B linked complexes undergo transmetalation faster than those that do because of hyperconjugative stabilization of the arene transfer transition state.

Abstract
The cycloaddition of nitrile oxides with ethynyl-B(dan) (dan=naphthalene-1,8-diaminato) allowed the facile preparation of diverse isoxazolyl-B(dan) compounds, all of which displayed excellent protodeborylation-resistant properties. The dan-installation on the boron center proves vital to the high stability of the products as well as the perfect regioselectivity arising from hydrogen bond-directed orientation in the cycloaddition. The diminished boron-Lewis acidity of ethynyl-B(dan) also renders it amenable to azide-alkyne cycloaddition, Larock indole synthesis and related heteroannulations. The obtained boron-containing triazole, indoles, benzofuran and indenone exhibit sufficient resistance toward protodeborylation. Despite the commonly accepted transmetalation-inactive property derived from the diminished Lewis acidity, the synthesized heteroaryl-B(dan) compound was still found to be convertible to the oligoarene via sequential Suzuki-Miyaura coupling.

Abstract
The pre-transmetalation intermediates are critically important in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling (SMC) reactions and have become a hot spot of the current research. However, the pre-transmetalation intermediates under base-free conditions have not been clear. Herein, a comprehensive theoretical study is performed on the base-free Pd-catalyzed desulfonative SMC reaction. The fragile coordination feature and the acceleration role of the RuPhos chelate ligand are revealed. The hydrogen-bond complex between the Pd-F complex and aryl boronic acid is identified as an important pre-transmetalation intermediate, which increases the energy span to 32.5 kcal/mol. The controlling factor for the formation of the hydrogen-bond complexes is attributed to the electronegativities of halogen atoms in the metal halide complexes. What is more, other reported SMC reaction systems involving metal halide complexes and aryl boronic acids are reconsidered and suggest that the hydrogen-bond complexes widely exist as stable pre-transmetalation intermediates with influencing the catalytic activities. The earth-abundant Ni-catalyzed desulfonative SMC reaction is further designed and predicted to have a higher activity than the original Pd-catalyzed SMC reaction.

Abstract
The observation of post-transition-state dynamic effects in the context of metal-based transformation is rare. To date, there has been no reported case of a dynamic effect for the widely employed class of palladium-mediated coupling reactions. We performed an experimental and computational study of the trifluoromethylation of Pd(II)F, which is a key step in the Pd(0)/Pd(II)-catalyzed trifluoromethylation of aryl halides or acid fluorides. Our experiments show that the cis/trans speciation of the formed Pd(II)CF3 is highly solvent- and transmetalation reagent-dependent. We employed GFN2-xTB- and B3LYP-D3-based molecular dynamics trajectory calculations (with and without explicit solvation) along with high-level QM calculations and found that depending on the medium, different transmetalation mechanisms appear to be operative. A statistically representative number of Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (MD) simulations suggest that in benzene, a difluorocarbene is generated in the transmetalation with R3SiCF3, which subsequently recombines with the Pd via two distinct pathways, leading to either the cis- or trans-Pd(II)CF3. Conversely, GFN2-xTB simulations in MeCN suggest that in polar/coordinating solvents an ion-pair mechanism is dominant. A CF3 anion is initially liberated and then rebinds with the Pd(II) cation to give a cis- or trans-Pd(II). In both scenarios, a single transmetalation transition state gives rise to both cis- and trans-species directly, owing to bifurcation after the transition state. The potential subsequent cis- to trans isomerization of the Pd(II)CF3 was also studied and found to be strongly inhibited by free phosphine, which in turn was experimentally identified to be liberated through displacement by a polar/coordinating solvent from the cis-Pd(II)CF3 complex. The simulations also revealed how the variation of the Pd-coordination sphere results in divergent product selectivities.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) comprise catalytically active atoms dispersed on supports; they combine the high activity and site uniformity of homogeneous catalysts with the ease of separability of heterogeneous catalysts. However, SACs lack fine control over the active site, provided by ligands in homogeneous catalysts. In this work, we demonstrate that modification of the support with an organic monolayer is a viable approach to improving the catalytic performance. The addition of catechol-type monolayers to a Pd/CeO2 SAC increases its catalytic activity for Suzuki cross-coupling, a central reaction in the synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Kinetic trials reveal that the coating reduces the activation energy from 49 ± 9 to 22 ± 5 kJ/mol and produces a 4-fold rate enhancement at 25 °C, an effect we attribute to π-π interactions between the reactant and the catechol coating. Further development of this approach could vastly increase the utility of SACs in organic synthesis.

Abstract
Exposure to mercury(II) ions (Hg2+) can cause various diseases such as Minamata disease, acrodynia, Alzheimer's disease, and Hunter-Russell syndrome, and even organ damage. Therefore, real-time and accurate monitoring of Hg2+ in environmental samples is crucial. In this study, we report a photoluminescent (PL) and electrochemiluminescent (ECL) probe based on a cyclometalated Ir(III) complex for the selective detection of Hg2+. The introduction of a reaction site, o-aminomethylphenylboronic acid, on the ancillary ligands allowed a prompt transmetalation reaction to take place between Hg2+ and boronic acid. This reaction resulted in significant decreases of the PL and ECL signals due to the photo-induced electron transfer from the Ir(III) complex to the Hg2+ ions. The probe was applied to the selective detection of Hg2+, and the signal changes revealed a linear correlation with Hg2+ concentrations in the range of 0-10 μM (LOD = 0.72 μM for PL, 8.03 nM for ECL). The designed probe allowed the successful quantification of Hg2+ in tap water samples, which proves its potential for the selective detection of Hg2+ in environmental samples.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) has provided a detailed mechanistic picture for the redox neutral nickel(II)-catalyzed arylative cyclization reactions of a tethered allene-ketone with arylboronic acids. A mechanistic rationale for the high diastereo- and enantioselectivity achieved experimentally at high reaction temperature was uncovered through modeling the reaction with a chiral ligand and the predicted stereochemical outcome corroborates with experimental results. An unprecedented mechanism for the base-free organoboron transmetalation was revealed and the regioselectivity of migratory insertion of tethered allene-ketones as well as the stability of the possible allylnickel isomers (σ-allyl vs π-allyl) were clarified. The multifaceted nature of the reaction is revealed with certain elementary steps preferring cationic compared to the neutral state.

Abstract
Batrachotoxin is an extremely potent cardio- and neurotoxic steroidal alkaloid found in certain species of frogs, birds, and beetles. The steroidal 6/6/6/5-membered carbocycle (ABCD-ring) is U-shaped and functionalized with two double bonds, a six-membered C3-hemiacetal across the AB-ring, a seven-membered oxazepane on the CD-ring, and a dimethylpyrrolecarboxy group at the D-ring carbon chain. These structural features present an unusual and formidable synthetic challenge. Herein we report a total synthesis of batrachotoxin based on a newly devised convergent strategy through a 22-step sequence. Enantiopure AB-ring and D-ring fragments were prepared and subjected to a crucial C(sp2 )-C(sp2 ) coupling reaction. Although both C(sp2 ) centers were sterically encumbered by proximal tetrasubstituted carbon atoms, Ag2 O strongly promoted the Pd(PPh3 )4 -catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction at room temperature, thereby connecting the two fragments without damaging their preexisting functionalities. Subsequent treatment with t-BuOK induced Dieckmann condensation to cyclize the C-ring. The judiciously optimized functionalizations realized oxazepane formation, carbon chain extension, and pyrrole carboxylic acid condensation to deliver batrachotoxin.

Abstract
A green, fast and selective approach for the synthesis of mono-substituted closo-decaborate derivatives [2-B10H9COR]2- has been established via a nucleophilic addition reaction between the carbonyl derivative of closo-decaborate [2-B10H9CO]- and the corresponding Grignard reagent RMgX, where R is the ethyl, iso-propyl, pentyl, allyl, vinyl and propynyl groups. This approach is accomplished under mild conditions with 70-80% yields. The significance of these derivative is their ability to constitute building blocks for polymeric integration via the allyl, vinyl and propynyl substituents. All products were characterized by 11B, 1H and 13C NMR, elemental analysis and mass spectrometry.

Abstract
The mechanism of phenoxyimine (FI)-cobalt-catalyzed C(sp2)-C(sp3) Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling was studied using a combination of kinetic measurements and catalytic and stoichiometric experiments. A series of dimeric (FI)cobalt(II) bromide complexes, [(4-CF3PhFI)CoBr]2, [(4-OMePhFI)CoBr]2, and [(2,6-diiPrPhFI)CoBr]2, were isolated and characterized by 1H and 19F NMR spectroscopies, solution and solid-state magnetic susceptibility, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, and diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY). One complex, [(4-CF3PhFI)CoBr]2, was explored as a single-component precatalyst for C(sp2)-C(sp3) Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling. Addition of potassium methoxide to [(4-CF3PhFI)CoBr]2 generated the corresponding (FI)cobalt(II) methoxide complex as determined by 1H and 19F NMR and EPR spectroscopies. These spectroscopic signatures were used to identify this compound as the resting state during catalytic C(sp2)-C(sp3) coupling. Variable time normalization analysis (VTNA) of in situ catalytic 19F NMR spectroscopic data was used to establish an experimental rate law that was first-order in a (FI)cobalt(II) precatalyst, zeroth-order in the alkyl halide, and first-order in an activated potassium methoxide-aryl boronate complex. These findings are consistent with turnover-limiting transmetalation that occurs prior to activation of the alkyl bromide electrophile. The involvement of boronate intermediates in transmetalation was corroborated by Hammett studies of electronically differentiated aryl boronic esters. Together, a cobalt(II)/cobalt(III) catalytic cycle was proposed that proceeds through a "boronate"-type mechanism.

Abstract
An efficient one-pot three-component palladium-catalyzed domino reaction of aryl iodide, 2-bromophenylboronic acid, and norbornadiene to produce phenanthrenes has been developed. Norbornadiene serves both as the activator of ortho-C-H bond and the source of ethylene via a retro-Diels-Alder reaction. The method features inexpensive and readily available substrates, a broad range of functional groups, and good yields.

Abstract
A mechanistic study into the copper(i)-catalysed sulfonylative Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, incorporating sulfur dioxide, is described. Utilising spectroscopic and computational techniques, an exploration into the individual components of the competing catalytic cycles is delineated, including identification of the resting state catalyst, transmetalation of arylboronic acid onto copper(i), the sulfur dioxide insertion process, and the oxidative addition of aryl halide to CuI. Studies also investigated prominent side-reactions which were uncovered, including a competing copper(ii)-catalysed mechanism. This led to an additional proposed and connected CuI/CuII/CuIII catalytic cycle to account for by-product formation.

Abstract
A Pd-catalyzed homologation of arylboronic acids is reported. Halomethylboronic acid pinacol esters (Bpin) undergo a remarkably facile, yet rare, oxidative addition enabled by an α-boryl effect. Simultaneous chemoselective transmetalation allows use of these metalloid reagents for formal C1 insertion to deliver benzyl Bpin products without the requirement for stoichiometric organometallic reagents. The utility of the process is demonstrated by stepwise C(sp3)-C(sp2) cross-coupling of the boronic ester products into diarylmethane pharmacophores and electrophile/nucleophile chemoselective cross-coupling. Control experiments that demonstrate the reactivity enhancement provided by the α-boryl effect are provided, along with a description of the limitations of the formal homologation process.

Abstract
Aqueous transformations confer many advantages, including decreased environmental impact and increased opportunity for biomolecule modulation. Although several studies have been conducted to enable the cross-coupling of aryl halides in aqueous conditions, until now a process for the cross-coupling of primary alkyl halides in aqueous conditions was missing from the catalytic toolbox and considered impossible. Alkyl halide coupling in water suffers from severe problems. The reasons for this include the strong propensity for β-hydride elimination, the need for highly air- and water-sensitive catalysts and reagents, and the intolerance of many hydrophilic groups to cross-coupling conditions. Here, we report a broadly applicable and readily accessible process for the cross-coupling of water-soluble alkyl halides in water and air by using simple and commercially available bench-stable reagents. The trisulfonated aryl phosphine TXPTS in combination with a water-soluble palladium salt Na2PdCl4 allowed for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of water-soluble alkyl halides with aryl boronic acids, boronic esters, and borofluorate salts in mild, fully aqueous conditions. Multiple challenging functionalities, including unprotected amino acids, an unnatural halogenated amino acid within a peptide, and herbicides can be diversified in water. Structurally complex natural products were used as testbeds to showcase the late-stage tagging methodology of marine natural products to enable liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) detection. This enabling methodology therefore provides a general method for the environmentally friendly and biocompatible derivatization of sp3 alkyl halide bonds.

Abstract
Parallel two molecular bridges loaded with a palladium catalyst were integrated into separate pairs of graphene electrodes in the same device. Based on the complete description of the one-palladium catalytic pathway by single-molecule electrical spectroscopy, this setup enables the mapping of the cross-correlation between different catalysts and demonstrates the emergent complexity in the extrapolation from single molecule to ensemble. The anticorrelation behaviors at the time scale of two individual catalysts in sufficiently close proximity were revealed in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling. Further experimental evidence demonstrates that the long-range electric dipole-dipole interaction induced by solvent leads to the destructive interferometric effect of two catalysts. In contrast, the cooperative coupling of the elementary step between two catalysts affords a local acceleration. This new form of reaction dynamics measurement via focusing on multiple molecules with single-event resolution holds great promise to build a bridge between single molecule and ensemble.

Abstract
Organopalladium(II) boronates represent fundamental pretransmetalation intermediates in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings. These species are typically kinetically unstable, making them particularly elusive. In this study, a range of unprecedented, kinetically stable alkyl-, alkenyl-, allenyl-, and alkynylpalladium(II) boronates were prepared from various Csp3, Csp2, and Csp electrophiles via a simple, general method. The structures of these complexes were secured by X-ray crystallography, and the chemical competence of a number of these intermediates in transmetalation was demonstrated.

Abstract
Glycosides having multiple free OH groups have been shown to undergo site-selective O-arylations in the presence of arylboronic acids and copper(II) acetate. Herein, a mechanistic analysis of these Chan-Evans-Lam-type couplings is presented based on reaction kinetics, mass spectrometric analysis of reaction mixtures, and substituent effect studies. The results establish that the formation of a substrate-derived boronic ester accelerates the rate-determining transmetalation step. Intramolecular transfer of the aryl group from the boronic ester is ruled out in favor of a pathway in which the key pre-transmetalation assembly is generated from a boronic ester, a copper complex, and a second equivalent of arylboronic acid.

Abstract
(sp2)C-(sp2)C bond formation is one of the most utilitarian techniques in target synthesis and material and pharmaceutical production. Biaryls usually emerge with the coupling of aryl halides or pseudohalides and require the prepreparation of an organometallic reagent, which results in low efficiency and atomic economy. The classic Ullmann reactions could be adopted to directly synthesize biaryls from aromatic halides. However, the requirement of extremely high temperatures limits the usage of the methodology in manufacturing. At the same time, the mechanism triggers a wide debate between classic redox and redox reactions involving radicals. In this work, a bimetallic system was demonstrated, referring to stoichiometric copper powder in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)2, which contributed to delivering various symmetric/asymmetric (sp2)C-(sp2)C species. It has been proposed that the coupling process might be promoted via radicals produced by redox between Cu(0) and Pd(IV) species in the heating system. Increasing examples demonstrated the good tolerance of this method for aryl bromide among functional groups.

Abstract
Monoligated palladium(0) species, L1Pd(0), have emerged as the most active catalytic species in the cross-coupling cycle. Today, there are methods available to generate the highly active but unstable L1Pd(0) catalysts from stable precatalysts. While the size of the ligand plays an important role in the formation of L1Pd(0) during in situ catalysis, the latter can be precisely generated from the precatalyst by various technologies. Computational, kinetic, and experimental studies indicate that all three steps in the catalytic cycle─oxidative addition, transmetalation, and reductive elimination─contain monoligated Pd. The synthesis of precatalysts, their mode of activation, application studies in model systems, as well as in industry are discussed. Ligand parametrization and AI based data science can potentially help predict the facile formation of L1Pd(0) species.

Abstract
Present here is a density functional theory (DFT) study of the mechanism and origin of enantioselectivity of Ni-catalyzed desymmetric cyclization of alkyne-tethered malononitriles and aryl boronic acids. The reaction starts from transmetalation and arylnickel addition, followed by trans to cis isomerization to give cis-alkenyl nickel species. The stereodetermining step is the CN insertion, which prefers a transition state with the bystander CN group staying away from the ligand to reduce steric repulsion, and gives the final (R)-product.

Abstract
Using biomass-derived solvents in various organic reactions is challenging for the fine chemicals industry. We herein report a Pd/C catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reaction in water extract of suaeda salsa (WES) without using external phosphine ligand, base, and organic solvent. The cross-coupling reactions were carried out in a basic WES medium with a broad substrate scope and wide functional group tolerance. Furthermore, the high purity of solid biaryl products can be obtained by column chromatography or filtration.

Porous aromatic frameworks with high Pd nanoparticles loading as efficient catalysts for the Suzuki coupling reaction. J Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 628:1023-1032.

Abstract
The development of efficient and recyclable heterogeneous Pd catalysts is an area of continuing attention due to their critical applications in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical production. In this study, two novel heterogeneous catalysts Pd@PAF-182 and Pd@PAF-183 were prepared by the immobilization/NaBH4 reduction of PdCl42- on hydrophilic cationic porous aromatic frameworks (PAF-182 and PAF-183), which were synthesized via a Yamamoto-type Ullmann coupling reaction from the corresponding aryl quaternary phosphonium salt monomer. Characterization by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), solid-state Cross-Polarization Magic-Angle-Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (CP/MAS NMR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) established the structures of the as-prepared catalysts. Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) detection showed that the loading of Pd nanoparticles (Pd NPs) were 29.4 wt% for Pd@PAF-182 and 37.5 wt% for Pd@PAF-183, much higher than those of similar porous materials. Evaluation of the catalytic activity of the Pd@PAFs using Suzuki coupling as the model reaction demonstrated that as little as 0.12 mol% of Pd NPs could catalyze the Suzuki coupling with high efficiency, achieving yields up to 99% at 80 °C in 8 h. Recycling experiments also suggested that Pd@PAF-182 and Pd@PAF-183 maintained high catalytic activity with negligible leaching of Pd NPs after five cycles.

Abstract
The Suzuki-Miyaura coupling (SMC) represents a very efficacious method for constructing C-C bonds in organic synthesis. The ligand-free variants of SMC have been grabbing attention these days. Despite this momentousness, the mechanistic details of the ligand-free variants are scant in the literature. Herein, we have carried out a detailed mechanistic investigation into the ligand-free Cu-catalyzed SMC of unsaturated organic halides with aryl boronic acid with the aid of density functional theory (DFT) calculations employing the conductor-like polarizable continuum model (CPCM) method. The present study elucidates that in the absence of ancillary ligands on the metal, the substrates, base, and solvent molecules could act as pseudo-ancillary ligands to facilitate the cross-coupling reaction. The investigation further revealed that unsaturated halides like alkynyl halides/vinyl halides could act as good ancillary ligands for copper by forming a Cu-π intermediate and promoting a facile transmetalation process. However, regarding the oxidative addition and reductive elimination steps, a concerted pathway is observed contrary to Pd catalyzed Suzuki coupling, owing to the instability of Cu(III) species and the favourability of Csp2-Csp bond formation. In the whole set of mechanisms explored, oxidative addition/oxidative nucleophilic substitution was the rate-determining step in all the cases. A thermodynamically stable π-coordinated intermediate species where the substrate and base molecule are coordinated to the metal center is identified as the rate-determining species for the ligand-free Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. The presence of the aforesaid intermediate increases the energy span and consequently the activation barrier for the rate-determining step. This study unveiled a theoretical rationale for the high-temperature requirement in the ligand-free Cu-catalyzed SMC reaction.

Abstract
Reagent instability reduces the efficiency of chemical processes, and while much effort is devoted to reaction optimization, less attention is paid to the mechanistic causes of reagent decomposition. Indeed, the response is often to simply use an excess of the reagent. Two reaction classes with ubiquitous examples of this are the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of boronic acids/esters and the transfer of CF3 or CF2 from the Ruppert-Prakash reagent, TMSCF3. This Account describes some of the overarching features of our mechanistic investigations into their decomposition. In the first section we summarize how specific examples of (hetero)arylboronic acids can decompose via aqueous protodeboronation processes: Ar-B(OH)2 + H2O → ArH + B(OH)3. Key to the analysis was the development of a kinetic model in which pH controls boron speciation and heterocycle protonation states. This method revealed six different protodeboronation pathways, including self-catalysis when the pH is close to the pKa of the boronic acid, and protodeboronation via a transient aryl anionoid pathway for highly electron-deficient arenes. The degree of "protection" of boronic acids by diol-esterification is shown to be very dependent on the diol identity, with six-membered ring esters resulting in faster protodeboronation than the parent boronic acid. In the second section of the Account we describe 19F NMR spectroscopic analysis of the kinetics of the reaction of TMSCF3 with ketones, fluoroarenes, and alkenes. Processes initiated by substoichiometric "TBAT" ([Ph3SiF2][Bu4N]) involve anionic chain reactions in which low concentrations of [CF3]- are rapidly and reversibly liberated from a siliconate reservoir, [TMS(CF3)2][Bu4N]. Increased TMSCF3 concentrations reduce the [CF3]- concentration and thus inhibit the rates of CF3 transfer. Computation and kinetics reveal that the TMSCF3 intermolecularly abstracts fluoride from [CF3]- to generate the CF2, in what would otherwise be an endergonic α-fluoride elimination. Starting from [CF3]- and CF2, a cascade involving perfluoroalkene homologation results in the generation of a hindered perfluorocarbanion, [C11F23]-, and inhibition. The generation of CF2 from TMSCF3 is much more efficiently mediated by NaI, and in contrast to TBAT, the process undergoes autoacceleration. The process involves NaI-mediated α-fluoride elimination from [CF3][Na] to generate CF2 and a [NaI·NaF] chain carrier. Chain-branching, by [(CF2)3I][Na] generated in situ (CF2 + TFE + NaI), causes autoacceleration. Alkenes that efficiently capture CF2 attenuate the chain-branching, suppress autoacceleration, and lead to less rapid difluorocyclopropanation. The Account also highlights how a collaborative approach to experiment and computation enables mechanistic insight for control of processes.

Abstract
A wide range of aryl boronic 1,1,2,2-tetraethylethylene glycol esters [ArB(Epin)s] were readily synthesized. Purifying aryl boronic esters by conventional silica gel chromatography is generally challenging; however, these introduced derivatives are easily purified on silica gel and isolated in excellent yields. We subjected the purified ArB(Epin) to Suzuki-Miyaura couplings, which provided higher yields of the desired biaryl products than those obtained using the corresponding aryl boronic acids or pinacol esters.

Abstract
Organometallic catalysis under visible light activation is an emerging field. Activation by photosensitization or by direct light absorption of organometallic complexes can facilitate or trigger elementary steps in a catalytic cycle such as pre-catalyst reduction, oxidative addition, transmetalation and reductive elimination, as well as the ability of generating radical intermediates, widening the structural diversity offered by classical couplings. This perspective aims to highlight key examples of these light-induced or enhanced processes, with an emphasis on the underlying mechanisms involved.
