The Challenges of C(sp3)-C(sp3) Cross-Coupling • Slow oxidative addition: Homocoupling or β-elimination of the electrophile • Spontaneous decomposition of alkyl organometallics via β-elimination or proto-demetalation • Slow transmetalation: needs of additives 1) Jana,R.; Pathak, T.

Cross-Couplings of Secondary Alkyl Electrophiles with Acyclic Secondary Alkylzinc Nucleophiles First time that a branchedproductisformedfrom a linearalkylmetal compound.2 1) Binder, J. T.; Cordier, C. J.; Fu, G. C. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2012, ASAP. 2) Han, C.; Buchwald, S. L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2009, 131, 7532.
Possible Mechanism for Nickel-catalyzed Secondary-Secondary Cross-Couplings • Isomerisation: β-hydride elimination and β-migratory insertion • Use of a bidentate, rather than tridentate, ligand • Transmetalation occuring before oxidative addition (NiI catalyzed) Binder, J. T.; Cordier, C. J.; Fu, G. C. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2012, ASAP 2) Han, C.; Buchwald, S. L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2009, 131, 7532.
Syn Selective mechanism • The β-hydride elimination and β-migratory insertion are Syn specific • D always trans from the Nickel • Reaction with 0.5 equiv of cyclopentene did not give incorporation of unlabeled cyclopentane 1) Binder, J. T.; Cordier, C. J.; Fu, G. C. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2012, ASAP.
Conclusion • New enantioselective cross-coupling of secondaryelectrophileswithsecondaryalkylzincreagents. • New class of ligand wasused (UsuallyNegishireactions are donewithPybox ligand). • Discovery of a unusualisomerization: formation of a branchedproductfrom a linearalkylzincreagents.
