Divergent Reactivity of a Dinuclear (NHC)Nickel(I) Catalyst versus Nickel(0) Enables Chemoselective Trifluoromethylselenolation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We herein showcase the ability of NHC-coordinated dinuclear NiI -NiI complexes to override fundamental reactivity limits of mononuclear (NHC)Ni0 catalysts in cross-couplings. This is demonstrated with the development of a chemoselective trifluoromethylselenolation of aryl iodides catalyzed by a NiI dimer. A novel SeCF3 -bridged NiI dimer was isolated and shown to selectively react with Ar-I bonds. Our computational and experimental reactivity data suggest dinuclear NiI catalysis to be operative. The corresponding Ni0 species, on the other hand, suffers from preferred reaction with the product, ArSeCF3 , over productive cross-coupling and is hence inactive.

Dinuclear Nickel(I) and Palladium(I) Complexes for Highly Active Transformations of Organic Compounds.
In typical catalytic organic transformations, transition metals in catalytically active complexes are present in their most stable valence states, such as palladium(0) and (II). However, some dimeric monovalent metal complexes can be stabilized by auxiliary ligands to form diamagnetic compounds with metal-metal bonding interactions. These diamagnetic compounds can act as catalysts while retaini...

The four ligands differ by the alkyl chain length between the thiolate group and the b...
متن کاملNickel-Catalyzed Arylation of Heteroaryl-containing Diarylmethanes: Exceptional Reactivity of the Ni(NIXANTPHOS)-based Catalyst.
Nickel(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling of heteroaryl-containing diarylmethanes with both aryl bromides and chlorides has been achieved. The success of this reaction relies on the introduction of a unique nickel/NIXANTPHOS-based catalyst system, which provides a direct route to triarylmethanes from heteroaryl-containing diarylmethanes. Reactivity studies indicate the Ni(NIXANTPHOS)-based catalyst ex...

With a view to use as carbene transfer agents, well-defined silver(I) and copper(I) complexes of a macrocyclic NHC-based pincer ligand, bearing a central lutidine donor and a dodecamethylene spacer [CNC– (CH2)12, 1], have been prepared. Although the silver adduct is characterised by X-ray diffraction as a dinuclear species anti-[Ag(μ-1)]2, variable temperature measurements indicate dynamic stru...
