Reaction mechanisms involved in cross coupling processes catalysed by copper and nickel

Organometallic aryl-CuIII species have been proposed as key intermediates in Ullmann-type reactions. However, such species have long remained elusive and mechanistic investigations of a plausible catalytic cycle remained ambiguous and speculative. The first part of this thesis deals with the reactiv...

Sumario:Organometallic aryl-CuIII species have been proposed as key intermediates in Ullmann-type reactions. However, such species have long remained elusive and mechanistic investigations of a plausible catalytic cycle remained ambiguous and speculative. The first part of this thesis deals with the reactivity of well-defined aryl-CuIII macrocyclic complex in presence of activated methylenes (Hurtley-type coupling) and terminal acetylenes (Stephens-Castro-type coupling). The subsequent part deals with the synthesis and fully characterization of well-defined aryl-NiII complex, which is analogous to aryl-CuIII complex. The strength of the Ni-C bond precludes their direct reactivity with nucleophiles via reductive elimination. Nevertheless, we have proved their reactivity in the presence of a 2 e- redox oxidant as an electrophilic CF3+ source. In the last part, we turned our attention to the standard Cu-catalyzed Ullmann-type reactions by studying the effect of the ligand choice on the chemoselectivity of a multiple combinations of amides, amines and phenols in competitive reactions
