Nickel-Catalyzed Decarbonylative Suzuki–Miyaura Coupling of Amides To Generate Biaryls

Thumbnail image of graphical abstract








Shi et al. have reported a nickel-catalyzed decarbonylative Suzuki–Miyaura reaction which uses an N-aroylpiperidine-2,6-dione as the coupling partner for the boronic acid ( Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2016556959−6963).
The method is attractive from the point of view of the stability of N-aroylpyrrolidine-2,5-diones toward storage and manipulation and the flexibility they add to the chemist’s toolbox, given their preparation from a different group of precursors to aryl halides or triflates.
Notably, the reaction uses an air-stable and inexpensive nickel catalyst, and the reactions tolerate the presence of water. While a standard reaction temperature of 150 °C is quoted, the use of temperatures as low as 80 °C also seem to be possible. Coupling efficiency is reported to be adversely affected when the aromatic rings of both of the coupling partners bear electron-donating substituents.
Ortho substituents on the aromatic rings seem to be beneficial as they facilitate decarbonylation as part of the cross-coupling. Oxidative addition into the N–C(aroyl) bond of the amide is proposed as initiating the catalytic cycle and is possible on account of a reduction in the resonance stabilization of the N-aroyl functionality versus a conventional aromatic amide.

Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Organolithium Reagents


During the past years, Feringa and co-workers have developed very efficient palladium-catalyzed methodologies for the cross-coupling of organolithium reagents. 
They have now described that nickel-based catalytic systems are also able to successfully cross-couple these organometallic reagents to a variety of (hetero)aryl electrophiles ( Chem. Eur. J. 2016, 22, 3991). 
The reactions take place in toluene at room temperature with a 50% molar excess of the organolithium reagent and are usually finished within an hour. 
In order to limit the formation of reduced (hetero)aryl electrophile, a different catalyst has to be used for the efficient coupling of aryl- or alkyl-lithium reagents, a N-heterocyclic carbene ligated one (C3 above) for the former and bis(diethyldiphosphino)ethane ligated one (C1 above) for the latter. 
While the substrate scope appears to be limited by the high reactivity of the organometallic partner, these nickel-catalyzed protocols allow a number of less usual electrophiles, such as methyl ethers or fluorides, to engage in the cross-coupling reaction.

Nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of aromatic electrophiles with organolithium reagents is presented. The use of a commercially available nickel N-heterocyclic carbene complex allows reaction with a variety of (hetero)aryllithium compounds, whereas a commercially available electron-rich nickel bisphosphine complex smoothly converts alkyllithium species into the corresponding coupled product.
