Summary: This study introduced a convenient nickel-catalyzed protocol for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction using a simple mixture of Ni(II) and unfunctionalized beta-cyclodextrin in water. The environmentally friendly and cost-efficient method allows the synthesis of biaryls from arylboronic acids and various aryl halides. The catalyst can be recycled for multiple runs with only a small decrease in catalytic activity.

Summary: It has been demonstrated that inexpensive and readily available N,N'-diaryldihydrophenazines can effectively replace Ir(III)- and Ru(II)-based photocatalysts in the dual photoredox/Ni(II)C-N coupling of aryl halides with a wide range of anilines, as shown by 32 examples. This efficient and operationally simple approach to diarylamines can be scaled up using a flow apparatus.

Summary: Chemodivergent cross-couplings refer to reactions in which one potentially reactive functional group can be made to react based on choice of conditions. Factors influencing selectivity include catalyst ligation state, solvent polarity, and metal identity.

Summary: The addition of small amounts of dioxane and water was beneficial in solvent-free Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. Various solid and liquid aryl bromides and chlorides reacted with boronic acids in the presence of 1 mol% of Pd(OAc)2 and 2 mol% of RuPhos at 25°C to yield the corresponding biaryls with good to excellent yields. The reactions of aryl chlorides were faster than those of aryl bromides. 0.2 mol% of Pd(OAc)2 was sufficient for the reactions of some aryl chlorides. This procedure is particularly useful for the reactions of aryl chlorides.

Summary: Our study focused on achieving C(sp(2))-C(sp(3)) coupling reactions using 2,2-difluorobicyclo[1.1.1]pentane (BCP-F-2) building blocks. Through comparison of reactivities between BCP and BCP-F-2 analogues, we found that the Barluenga coupling reaction showed promising results, expanding the potential applications of BCP-F-2 in organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry.

Summary: A denitrogenative palladium-catalyzed C(sp(2))-C(sp(2)) cross coupling reaction of aryl-substituted diazenes capped with a trimethylsilyl group and functionalized aryl bromides is described. The use of a PEPPSITM catalyst in the presence of NaOt-Bu enables the activation of the N-aryl-N'-silyldiazene pronucleophile, leading to the loss of dinitrogen and subsequent coupling with the in-situ-formed aryl nucleophile. This methodology provides access to biaryl compounds with various substituents.

Summary: The reactivity of carbonyl-tethered alkylidenecyclopropanes (ACPs) can be directed towards tandem cycloisomerization/cross-coupling processes by using Pd-0 catalysts with phosphorus-based monodentate ligands. This allows for the synthesis of a wide variety of highly functionalized cyclic alcohols and amines through the formation of key pi-allyl oxapalladacyclic intermediates which are trapped with external nucleophilic partners.

Summary: In this study, a palladium-catalyzed multicomponent cross-electrophile coupling utilizing sulfur dioxide without metal-reductant was developed. Both aryl-alkyl and alkyl-alkyl sulfones were successfully synthesized. The protocol demonstrated mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, and excellent regioselectivity. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicated the involvement of two Pd catalytic cycles, and SO2 exclusively coupled with aryl iodides rather than allylic acetates, which were consistent with DFT studies.

Summary: A new strategy for direct cleavage of the C(sp3)-OH bond has been developed using neutral diphenyl boryl radical to activate free alcohols. Under mild visible light photoredox conditions, this strategy has been verified by cross-electrophile coupling of free alcohols and carbon dioxide to synthesize carboxylic acids. Control experiments and computational studies have shown that the activation of alcohols with neutral boryl radical leads to homolysis of the C(sp3)-OH bond, generating alkyl radicals, which can be further transformed into carbon anions for carboxylation with CO2 to form the coupling product.

Summary: This study presents a chemoselective C(sp(2))-C(sp(2)) coupling of electron-deficient fluorinated arenes and functionalized N-aryl-N'-silyldiazenes as masked aryl nucleophiles. The fluoride-promoted transformation involves in situ generation of aryl nucleophiles with sensitive functional groups followed by a stepwise SNAr reaction. These reactions proceed rapidly at room temperature, allowing for functionalization of both coupling partners and yielding highly fluorinated biaryls in good yields.

Summary: This study reports a nickel/photoredox-catalyzed site-selective mono-deboronative arylation of 1,2-bis-boronic esters, which allows for selective coupling of the more sterically hindered secondary/tertiary positions. This is achieved by utilizing a 1,2-boron shift of primary β-boryl radicals to the thermodynamically favored secondary/tertiary radicals for arylation. The mild conditions of this method are suitable for a wide range of aryl halides, resulting in good yields and high regioselectivity. Additionally, this method allows for stereodivergent coupling of cyclic cis-1,2-bis-boronic esters to give trans-substituted products.

Summary: Reaction conditions have been developed for refractory heteroaryl-heteroaryl Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings using neopentyl heteroarylboronic esters, heteroaryl bromides and chlorides, and potassium trimethylsilanolate (TMSOK) under anhydrous conditions. The addition of trimethyl borate enhances reaction rates by several mechanisms, enabling cross-coupling of diverse reaction partners in good yields and short reaction times.
