Ligand Relay for Nickel‐Catalyzed Decarbonylative Alkylation of Aroyl Chlorides
2024
Overview
Transition metal‐catalyzed direct decarboxylative transformations of aromatic carboxylic acids usually require high temperatures, which limit the substrate's scope, especially for late‐stage applications. The development of the selective decarbonylative of carboxylic acid derivatives, especially the most fundamental aroyl chlorides, with stable and cheap electrophiles under mild conditions is highly desirable and meaningful, but remains challenging. Herein, a strategy of nickel‐catalyzed decarbonylative alkylation of aroyl chlorides via phosphine/nitrogen ligand relay is reported. The simple phosphine ligand is found essential for the decarbonylation step, while the nitrogen ligand promotes the cross‐electrophile coupling. Such a ligand relay system can effectively and orderly carry out the catalytic process at room temperature, utilizing easily available aroyl chlorides as an aryl electrophile for reductive alkylation. This discovery provides a new strategy for direct decarbonylative coupling, features operationally simple, mild conditions, and excellent functional group tolerance. The mild approach is applied to the late‐stage methylation of various pharmaceuticals. Extensive experiments are carried out to provide insights into the reaction pathway and support the ligand relay process.
A nickel‐catalyzed decarbonylative cross electrophiles coupling of aroyl chlorides with alkyl halides/pseudohalides via phosphine/nitrogen ligand relay is demonstrated. The phosphine ligand is useful in decarbonylation process and the nitrogen ligand is essential for cross‐coupling step. Such a ligand relay system can effectively and orderly carry out the catalytic process at room temperature.
