Abstract
We have gold-catalyzed C-N cross-couplings of aryl iodides with aliphatic nitriles. Although nitriles are usually challenging nitrogen cross-coupling partners, they could be activated by base-mediated deprotonation and isomerization. The method utilizes widely available substrates in moderate to good yields to provide various N-aryl compounds. In addition, a similar strategy could be extended to the cross-couplings of aryl iodides with silver cyanate. The protocol features high humidity/air tolerance and works inter- and intramolecularly.

Abstract
Water is considered to be the most sustainable and safest solvent. Micellar catalysis is a significant contributor to the chemistry in water. It promotes pathways involving water-sensitive intermediates and transient catalytic species under micelles' shielding effect while also replacing costly ligands and dipolar-aprotic solvents. However, there is a lack of critical information about micellar catalysis. This includes why it works better than traditional catalysis in organic solvents, why specific rules in micellar catalysis differ from those of conventional catalysis, and how the limitations of micellar catalysis can be addressed in the future. This Perspective aims to highlight the current gaps in our understanding of micellar catalysis and provide an analysis of designer surfactants' origin and essential components. This will also provide a fundamental understanding of micellar catalysis, including how aqueous micelles can simultaneously perform multiple functions such as solvent, ligand, and reaction promoter.

Abstract
In the presence of catalytic amounts of Pd nanoparticles, generated from Pd2dba3/Ag(I), cis-1,2-ditrimethylsilylarylethylenes undergo with aryl iodides a stereospecific Mizoroki-Heck arylation leading to trans-ditrimethylsilyldiarylethylenes. This chemoselectivity is in contrast to that of their trimethylgermyl analogues, which are arylated at the position of the C-Ge bonds. trans-1,2-Ditrimethylsilylarylethylenes are completely unreactive under the standard reaction conditions. The reaction tolerates the presence of boryl, silyl, or bromine substituents on the aryl iodides. From a mechanistic point of view, the process involves syn-arylpalladation followed by syn-dehydropalladation.

Abstract
The unexpected potential of micellar medium to achieve challenging β-selective direct arylation of (oligo)thiophenes is reported. Thanks to the use of a water/surfactant solution in combination with natural feedstock-derived undecanoic acid as an additive, this high-yielding C-H coupling could be performed regioselectively at room temperature.

Abstract
Self-assembled systems, like polymeric micelles, have become great facilitators for conducting organic reactions in aqueous media due to their broad potential applications in green chemistry and biomedical applications. Massive strides have been taken to improve the reaction scope of such systems, enabling them to perform bioorthogonal reactions for prodrug therapy. Considering these significant advancements, we sought to study the relationships between the architecture of the amphiphiles and the reactivity of their PdII loaded micellar nanoreactors in conducting depropargylation reactions. Towards this goal, we designed and synthesized a series of isomeric polyethylene glycol (PEG)-dendron amphiphiles with different dendritic architectures but with an identical degree of hydrophobicity and hydrophilic to lipophilic balance (HLB). We observed that the dendritic architecture, which serves as the main binding site for the PdII ions, has greater influence on the reactivity than the hydrophobicity of the dendron. These trends remained constant for two different propargyl caged substrates, validating the obtained results. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of simplified models of the dendritic blocks revealed the different binding modes of the various dendritic architectures to PdII ions, which could explain the observed differences in the reactivity of the nanoreactors with different dendritic architectures. Our results demonstrate how tuning the internal architecture of the amphiphiles by changing the orientation of the chelating moieties can be used as a tool for controlling the reactivity of PdII loaded nanoreactors.

Abstract
Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) reveals vesicle sizes, structures, microenvironments, reagent partitioning, and system evolution with two chemical reactions for widely used surfactant-water systems under conditions relevant to organic synthesis, including during steps of Negishi cross-coupling reactions. In contrast to previous investigations, the present experiments characterize surfactant systems with representative organohalide substrates at high concentrations (0.5 M) that are reflective of the preparative-scale organic reactions performed and reported in water. In the presence of representative organic substrates, 2-iodoethylbenzene and 2-bromo-6-methoxypyridine, micelles swell into emulsion droplets that are up to 20 μm in diameter, which is 3-4 orders of magnitude larger than previously measured in the absence of an organic substrate (5-200 nm). The partitioning of reagents in these systems is imaged through FLIM─demonstrated here with nonpolar, amphiphilic, organic, basic, and oxidative-addition reactive compounds, a reactive zinc metal powder, and a palladium catalyst. FLIM characterizes the chemical species and/or provides microenvironment information inside micelles and vesicles. These data show that surfactants cause surfactant-dictated microenvironments inside smaller micelles (<200 nm) but that addition of a representative organic substrate produces internal microenvironments dictated primarily by the substrate rather than by the surfactant, concurrent with swelling. Addition of a palladium catalyst causes the internal environments to differ between vesicles─information that is not available through nor predicted from prior analytical techniques. Together, these data provide immediately actionable information for revising reaction models of surfactant-water systems that underpin the development of sustainable organic chemistry in water.

Abstract
Solvents are the major source of chemical waste from synthetic chemistry labs. Growing attention to more environmentally friendly sustainable processes demands novel technologies to substitute toxic or hazardous solvents. If not always, sometimes, water can be a suitable substitute for organic solvents, if used appropriately. However, the sole use of water as a solvent remains non-practical due to its incompatibility with organic reagents. Nonetheless, over the past few years, new additives have been disclosed to achieve chemistry in water that also include aqueous micelles as nanoreactors. Although one cannot claim micellar catalysis to be a greener technology for every single transformation, it remains the sustainable or greener alternative for many reactions. Literature precedents support that micellar technology has much more potential than just as a reaction medium, i.e., the role of the amphiphile as a ligand obviating phosphine ligands in catalysis, the shielding effect of micelles to protect water-sensitive reaction intermediates in catalysis, and the compartmentalization effect. While compiling the powerful impact of micellar catalysis, this article highlights two diverse recent technologies: (i) the design and employment of the surfactant PS-750-M in selective catalysis; (ii) the use of the semisynthetic HPMC polymer to enable ultrafast reactions in water.

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
Dipolar aprotic and ethereal solvents comprise just over 40% of all organic solvents utilized in synthetic organic, medicinal, and process chemistry. Unfortunately, many of the common "go-to" solvents are considered to be "less-preferable" for a number of environmental, health, and safety (EHS) reasons such as toxicity, mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, or for practical handling reasons such as flammability and volatility. Recent legislative changes have initiated the implementation of restrictions on the use of many of the commonly employed dipolar aprotic solvents such as dimethylformamide (DMF) and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP), and for ethers such as 1,4-dioxane. Thus, with growing legislative, EHS, and societal pressures, the need to identify and implement the use of alternative solvents that are greener, safer, and more sustainable has never been greater. Within this review, the ubiquitous nature of dipolar aprotic and ethereal solvents is discussed with respect to the physicochemical properties that have made them so appealing to synthetic chemists. An overview of the current legislative restrictions being imposed on the use of dipolar aprotic and ethereal solvents is discussed. A variety of alternative, safer, and more sustainable solvents that have garnered attention over the past decade are then examined, and case studies and examples where less-preferable solvents have been successfully replaced with a safer and more sustainable alternative are highlighted. Finally, a general overview and guidance for solvent selection and replacement are included in the Supporting Information of this review.

Abstract
Micelles on the surfaces of individual metallic zinc particles are imaged by fluorescence microscopy with sensitivity up to single micelles. These micelles are made fluorescent to enable imaging, through the incorporation of boron dipyrromethene fluorophores as representative organic molecular "cargo". Highlighting an advantage of this in situ and sensitive fluorescence technique, the same micelles are not visible by ex situ scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis. Examination of micellar solutions with zinc reveals an aging process: micelles do not immediately adhere to the zinc surfaces upon mixing but rather build up over time. Furthermore, at longer times, smaller zinc particles become fully encased in micelle "shells". Once adhered, micelles remain in the local regions of the zinc surface for the duration of the imaging experiments (>2 h). Single micelles are imaged in solution, and their molecular contents are characterized. Two-color fluorescence crossover experiments show that micelles adhered to the surface of the zinc exchange molecular contents with micelles in solution, achieving molecular exchange equilibrium in ∼2.5 h. Unique (non-ensemble averaged) exchange kinetics are displayed by micelles at different locations on the zinc surface, consistent with exchange kinetics of single micelles or small local clusters of micelles. The aging of the micellar solutions and the rate of exchange while on the surface of the zinc suggest that micelle mass transport processes may contribute to overall reaction barriers in sustainable organozinc cross-coupling reactions in micellar water. The observed aging of the system suggests routes for improvement of preparative, bench-scale synthetic reactions involving micellar preparations of organozinc compounds.

Abstract
Polymeric assemblies, such as micelles, are gaining increasing attention due to their ability to serve as nanoreactors for the execution of organic reactions in aqueous media. The ability to conduct organic transformations, which have been traditionally limited to organic media, in water is essential for the further development of important fields ranging from green catalysis to bioorthogonal chemistry. Considering the recent progress that has been made to expand the range of organometallic reactions conducted using nanoreactors, we aimed to gain a deeper understanding of the roles of the hydrophobicity of both the core of micellar nanoreactors and the substrates on the reaction rates in water. Toward this goal, we designed a set of five metal-loaded micelles composed of polyethylene glycol-dendron amphiphiles and studied their ability to serve as nanoreactors for a palladium-mediated depropargylation reaction of four substrates with different log P values. Using dendrons as the hydrophobic block, we could precisely tune the lipophilicity of the nanoreactors, which allowed us to reveal linear correlations between the rate constants and the hydrophobicity of the amphiphiles (estimated by the dendron's cLog P). While exponential dependence was obtained for the lipophilicity of the substrates, a similar degree of rate acceleration was observed due to the increase in the hydrophobicity of the amphiphiles regardless of the effect of the substrate's log P. Our results demonstrate that while increasing the hydrophobicity of the substrates may be used to accelerate reaction rates, tuning the hydrophobicity of the micellar nanoreactors can serve as a vital tool for further optimization of the reactivity and selectivity of nanoreactors.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, the use of transition metal nanoparticles (NPs) in catalysis has attracted much attention and their use in C–C bond forming reactions constitutes one of their most important applications. A huge variety of metal NPs, which have showed high catalytic activity for C–C bond forming reactions, have been developed up to now. Many kinds of stabilizers, such as inorganic materials, magnetically recoverable materials, porous materials, organic–inorganic composites, carbon materials, polymers, and surfactants have been utilized to develop metal NPs catalysts. This review classified and outlined the categories of metal NPs by the type of support.

Abstract
Under the shielding effect of nanomicelles, a sustainable micellar technology for the design and convenient synthesis of ligand-free oxidizable ultrasmall Pd(0) nanoparticles (NPs) and their subsequent catalytic exploration for couplings of water-sensitive acid chlorides in water is reported. A proline-derived amphiphile, PS-750-M, plays a crucial role in stabilizing these NPs, preventing their aggregation and oxidation state changes. These NPs were characterized using 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared (IR), and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy to evaluate the carbonyl interactions of PS-750-M with Pd. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) studies were performed to reveal the morphology, particle size distribution, and chemical composition, whereas X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements unveiled the oxidation state of the metal. In the cross-couplings of water-sensitive acid chlorides with boronic acids, the micelle's shielding effect and boronic acids plays a vital role in preventing unwanted side reactions, including the hydrolysis of acid chlorides under basic pH. This approach is scalable and the applications are showcased in multigram scale reactions.

Metal-Micelle Cooperativity: Phosphine Ligand-Free Ultrasmall Palladium(II) Nanoparticles for Oxidative Mizoroki-Heck-type Couplings in Water at Room Temperature. JACS AU 2021; 1:308-315.

Abstract
The amphiphile PS-750-M generates stable, phosphine ligand-free, and catalytically active ultrasmall Pd(II) nanoparticles (NPs) from Pd(OAc)2, preventing their precipitation, polymerization, and oxidation state changes. PS-750-M directly interacts with Pd(II) NP surfaces, as confirmed by high-resolution mass spectrometry and IR spectroscopy, resulting in their high stability. The Pd cations in NPs are most likely held together by hydroxides and acetate ions. The NPs were characterized by HRTEM, revealing their morphology and particle size distribution, and by HRMS and IR, providing evidence for NP-amphiphile interaction. The NP catalytic activity was examined in the context of oxidative Mizoroki-Heck-type couplings in water at room temperature. Hot filtration, hot extraction, and three-phase tests indicate heterogeneous catalysis occurring at the micellar interface rather than homogeneous catalysis occurring in the solution. NMR studies indicate that the catalytic activity stems from metal cation-π interactions of the styrene along with transmetalation by the arylboronic acid, followed by insertion and β-H elimination to furnish the coupled product along with the reoxidation of Pd by benzoquinone to complete the catalytic cycle. This method is very mild and sustainable, both in terms of NP synthesis and subsequent catalysis, and shows broad substrate scope while circumventing the need for organic solvents for this important class of couplings.

Abstract
Water is the universal solvent in nature to catalyze the biological transformation processes. However, owing to the immiscibility of many reagents in water, synthesis chemistry relies heavily on organic solvent. Micellar media is a green alternative to traditional petroleum feedstock derived solvents, which is recently attracting increasing research attention. The present review deals with the recent advances in micellar catalysis with an emphasis on the new "tailor-made" surfactants for various reactions. A brief overview of commercial surfactants, including anionic micelles, cationic micelles, and nonionic micelles is presented. More importantly, an attempt was made to discuss systematically the recent research progress on new surfactants by introducing structures, micellar effects and recycling process, aiming to serve as the basis for future development of surfactants.

Abstract
Challenging Suzuki-Miyaura cross couplings associated with novel crop protection active ingredients from Corteva Agriscience, Arylex and Rinskor, can be performed in water using parts per million (ppm) levels of a Pd catalyst. Each coupling required a distinct set of reaction conditions to achieve maximum selectivities and chemical yields. By way of comparison, this chemistry is not only performed under environmentally responsible aqueous micellar conditions, but also involves lowering loadings (3-5 times) of endangered palladium than used previously to attain a more sustainable process.
