Simple iron salts such as FeCln, Fe(acac)n (n = 2,3) or the salen complex 4 turned out to be highly efficient, cheap, toxicologically benign, and environmentally friendly precatalysts for a host of cross-coupling reactions alkyl aryl Grignard reagents, zincates, organomanganese species with heteroaryl chlorides, triflates, even tosylates. An "inorganic reagent" formal composition [Fe(MgX)2] prepared in situ likely constitutes propagating responsible catalytic turnover, which occurs many...

Abstract Different mechanisms have been proposed for the cyclization of enynes catalyzed by electrophilic metal halides or complexes. We present evidence to indicate that previously reported “carbohydroxypalladation” and “hydroxycyclization Pt II ” are closely related reactions. Thus, palladium complexes formed in situ from PdCl 2 trisulfonated phosphane TPPTS cyclic phosphite P(OCH ) 3 CEt as ligands catalyze methoxy‐ hydroxycyclization with selectivities similar those observed Deuteration...

Abstract Hydrogen isotopically labelled compounds are essential diagnostic tools in drug research and development, as they provide vital information about the biological metabolism of candidates their metabolites. Herein we report a photoredox‐initiated hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) protocol which efficiently selectively introduces deuterium or tritium at C(sp 3 )−H bonds, utilizing heavy water (D 2 O T O) isotope source, guanidine base. This has been successfully applied to incorporation...
