Here an unprecedented, efficient nickel-catalyzed radical relay was reported for the remote cross-electrophile coupling of β-bromo-α-benzylamino acid esters with aryl bromides via 1,4-aryl migration/arylation cascades. β-Bromo-α-benzylamino acid esters were considered as unique mol. scaffolds allowing for aryl migration reactions, which were conceptually novel variants for the radical Truce-Smiles rearrangement. This reaction enabled the formation of two new C(sp3)-C(sp2) bonds using a bench-stable Ni/bipyridine/Zn system featuring a broad substrate scope and excellent diastereoselectivity, which provided an effective platform for the remote aryl group migration and arylation of amino acid esters via redox-neutral C(sp3)-C(sp2) bond cleavage. Mechanistically, this cascade reaction was accomplished by combining two powerful catalytic cycles consisting of a cross-electrophile coupling and radical 1,4-aryl migration through the generation of C(sp3)-centered radical intermediates from the homolysis of C(sp3)-Br bonds and the switching of the transient alkyl radical into a robust α-aminoalkyl radical. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2-(4-Bromophenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (cas: 68716-49-4COA of Formula: C12H16BBrO2).
2-(4-Bromophenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (cas: 68716-49-4) belongs to alcohols. A strong base can deprotonate an alcohol to yield an alkoxide ion (R―O−). For example, sodamide (NaNH2), a very strong base, abstracts the hydrogen atom of an alcohol. Tertiary alcohols cannot be oxidized at all without breaking carbon-carbon bonds, whereas primary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes or further oxidized to carboxylic acids.COA of Formula: C12H16BBrO2
