The nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of aryl halides and alkyl halides enabled by ball-milling is herein described. Under a mechanochemical manifold, the reductive C-C bond formation was achieved in the absence of bulk solvent and air/moisture sensitive setups, in reaction times of 2 h. The mechanical action provided by ball milling permits the use of a range of zinc sources to turnover the nickel catalytic cycle, enabling the synthesis of 28 cross-electrophile coupled products.

The first continuous flow process was developed to synthesize N-methyl secondary amines from alkyl mesylates and epoxides via a nucleophilic substitution using aqueous methylamine. A variety of N-methyl secondary amines were produced in good to excellent yields, including a number of bioactive compounds or their precursors. Up to 10.6 g (88% yield) of an N-methyl secondary amine was produced in 140 min process time. The amination procedure included an in-line workup, and the starting mesylate material was also produced in continuous flow from the corresponding alcohol. Finally, an in-line process combining the mesylate synthesis and nucleophilic substitution was developed.
Nucleophilic Substitution of Aliphatic Fluorides via Pseudohalide Intermediates

A method for aliphatic fluoride functionalization with a variety of nucleophiles has been reported. Carbon–fluoride bond cleavage is thermodynamically driven by the use of silylated pseudohalides TMS-OMs or TMS-NTf2, resulting in the formation of TMS-F and a trapped aliphatic pseudohalide intermediate. The rate of fluoride/pseudohalide exchange and the stability of this intermediate are such that little rearrangement is observed for terminal fluoride positions in linear aliphatic fluorides. The ability to convert organofluoride positions into pseudohalide groups allows facile nucleophilic attack by a wide range of nucleophiles. The late introduction of the nucleophiles also allows for a wide range of functional-group tolerance in the coupling partners. Selective alkyl fluoride mesylation is observed in the presence of other alkyl halides, allowing for orthogonal synthetic strategies.
