Transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of organic halides and pseudo-halides containing a C-X bond (X = I, Br, Cl, OTf, OTs, etc.) with organometallic reagents are among the most important transformations for carbon-carbon bond formation between a variety of sp, sp(2), and sp(3)-hybridized carbon atoms. In particular, researchers have widely employed Ni- and Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling to synthesize complex organic structures from readily available components. The catalytic cycle of

A new method for the cross-coupling reaction of Grignard reagents with alkyl chlorides, bromides, and tosylates has been developed by the use of a nickel catalyst in the presence of a diene as an additive. This reaction proceeds efficiently at 0-25 degrees C in THF using primary and secondary alkyl and aryl Grignard reagents. Nickel complexes bearing no phosphine ligands, such as NiCl2, Ni(acac)2, and Ni(COD)2, afford the coupling products in good yields, whereas NiCl2(PPh3)2 and NiCl2(dppp) wer

n-Octyl fluoride underwent a cross-coupling reaction with n-propylmagnesium bromide in the presence of 1,3-butadiene using NiCl2 as a catalyst at room temperature to give undecane in moderate yields. This alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling proceeded more efficiently when CuCl2 was employed instead of NiCl2. Addition of 1,3-butadiene dramatically improved the yields of the coupling products from primary alkyl Grignard reagents in both Ni- and Cu-catalyzed reactions. Alkyl fluorides efficiently reacted wi

A general get-together: The Cu-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of primary-alkyl halides with primary-, secondary-, and tertiary-alkyl and phenyl Grignard reagents proceeds efficiently in THF under reflux in the presence of 1-phenylpropyne (see scheme). The reaction is also applicable to alkyl mesylates (OMs) and tosylates (OTs). The reactivities of alkylX with a Grignard reagent increase in the order X=Cl<F<OMs<OTs<Br.

The feasibility of using π-conjugated polymers as next-generation electronic materials is extensively studied; however, their charge mobilities are lower than those of inorganic materials. Here we demonstrate a new design principle for increasing the intramolecular charge mobility of π-conjugated polymers by covering the π-conjugated chain with macrocycles and regularly localizing π-molecular orbitals to realize an ideal orbital alignment for charge hopping. Based on theoretical predictions, ins

Essential additives: The addition of bis(1,3-butadienyl) compounds (tetraenes) was essential in the efficient Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling of organozinc reagents with alkyl bromides and a tosylate (see scheme, X=C(CO2Me)2 or NCH2Ph). The efficiency of the Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling of an alkyl fluoride with a Grignard reagent was also improved by using these tetraenes.

Extensive research on the use of cyclodextrin for insulating pi-conjugated polymer chains has been carried out. However, the resulting polyrotaxanes do not exhibit high and constant covering ratios and are generally insoluble in organic solvents. Here we demonstrate a new method of synthesizing permethylated cyclodextrin-based polyrotaxanes involving the polymerization of linked rotaxane monomers. The insulated molecular wires obtained by this method are highly soluble in organic solvents and ha

We have recently developed a new method for synthesizing polyrotaxanes with a high covering ratio, rigidity, photoluminescence efficiency, and solubility in a variety of organic solvents through the polymerization of structurally defined rotaxane monomers. The rigid rodlike structure of the pi-conjugated core polymers in these polyrotaxanes is thought to facilitate the effective transport of charge carriers. Here we applied this method to the synthesis of a polyrotaxane having a poly(phenylene e

Abstract This account reviews transition metal-catalyzed C–C bond formation reactions using alkyl halides, which have rarely been used as carbon sources in conventional transition metal-catalyzed systems. In the reactions, ate complexes formed by the reaction of transition metals with a Grignard reagent play important roles as the active catalytic species. The reactions mentioned here are mechanistically new and provide a promising methodology for the construction of carbon frameworks employing

Alkyl halides underwent unique cross-coupling reaction with vinylmagnesium chloride in the presence of Ni catalyst to give 2-alkyl-3-butenyl Grignard reagent (1) in high yields. This reaction proceeded efficiently at 25 degrees C in THF using primary and secondary alkyl fluorides. On the other hand, PhCH=CHMgBr gave double alkylative vinyl coupling product 4 in good yield as the sole coupling product. Alkyl fluorides react as the most suitable alkylating reagent in comparison to the correspondin

Abstract A new method for cross-coupling reaction of alkyl tosylates and bromides with Grignard reagents has been developed by the use of Pd(acac)2 or PdCl2 as the catalyst. Addition of 1,3-butadiene is essential to afford good yields of coupling products. This reaction proceeds efficiently at room temperature using primary and secondary alkyl and aryl Grignard reagents.

PPV-based polyrotaxanes have been prepared by coupling vinyl boronic acids to aryl iodides in the presence of cyclodextrins, and the crystal structure of a [2]rotaxane of this type has been determined.

One of the ultimate goals of analytic chemistry is to efficiently discriminate between amino acids. Here we demonstrate this ability using a single-molecule electrical methodology based on molecular nanocircuits formed from stable graphene-molecule-graphene single-molecule junctions. These molecular junctions are fabricated by covalently bonding a molecular machine featuring a permethylated-β-cyclodextrin between a pair of graphene point contacts. Using pH to vary the type and charge of the amin
