A general copper-catalyzed C(sp3)?C(sp2) cross-coupling of (hetero)benzyl bromides with the air- and moisture-stable aryl nucleophiles has been developed, providing a facile access to pharmaceutically useful 1,1-di(hetero)arylalkane and 1-aryl-1-heteroarylalkane scaffolds. Critical to the success is the utilization of a proline-based N,N,P-ligand to enhance the reducing capability of copper, thus easily converting benzyl bromides to the corresponding radical species via a single-electron transfer process under ambient conditions. The reaction features a broad substrate scope, covering (hetero)arylboronate esters, oxadiazoles, and benzo[d]oxazoles, as well as primary and secondary (hetero)benzyl bromides with excellent functional group tolerance.
Iron-catalysed enantioconvergent Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling to afford enantioenriched 1,1-diarylalkanes

The first stereoconvergent Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction was developed to afford enantioenriched 1,1-diarylalkanes. An iron-based complex containing a chiral cyanobis(oxazoline) ligand framework was best to obtain enantioenriched 1,1-diarylalkanes from cross-coupling reactions between unactivated aryl boronic esters and benzylic chlorides. Enhanced yields were obtained when 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene was used as an additive, which is hypothesized to extend the lifetime of the iron-based catalyst. Exceptional enantioselectivities were obtained with challenging ortho-substituted benzylic chlorides. This journal is

A Ni-catalyzed hydroarylation of styrenes and 1,3-dienes with organoboron compounds has been developed. The reaction offers a highly selective approach to diarylalkanes and allylarenes under redox-neutral conditions. In this hydroarylation reaction, a new strategy that uses the proton of methanol to generate the active catalyst species Ni?H was developed. The Ni-catalyzed hydroarylation, combined with a Ir-catalyzed C?H borylation, affords a very efficient and straightforward access to a retinoic acid receptor agonist.
