RESUMEN
C-H activation has emerged as one of the most efficient tools for the formation of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds, avoiding the use of prefunctionalized materials. In spite of tremendous progress in the field, stoichiometric quantities of toxic and/or costly chemical redox reagents, such as silver(I) or copper(II) salts, are largely required for oxidative C-H activations. Recently, electrosynthesis has experienced a remarkable renaissance that enables the use of storable, safe and waste-free electric current as a redox equivalent. While major recent momentum was gained in electrocatalyzed C-H activations by 4d and 5d metals, user-friendly and inexpensive nickela-electrocatalysis has until recently proven elusive for oxidative C-H activations. Herein, the early developments of nickela-electrocatalyzed reductive cross-electrophile couplings as well as net-redox-neutral cross-couplings are first introduced. The focus of this Minireview is, however, the recent emergence of nickel-catalyzed electrooxidative C-H activations until April 2020.
RESUMEN
Nickela-electrooxidative C-H alkoxylations with challenging secondary alcohols were accomplished in a fully dehydrogenative fashion, thereby avoiding stoichiometric chemical oxidants, with H2 as the only stoichiometric byproduct. The nickela-electrocatalyzed oxygenation proved viable with various (hetero)arenes, including naturally occurring secondary alcohols, without racemization. Detailed mechanistic investigation, including DFT calculations and cyclovoltammetric studies of a well-defined C-H activated nickel(III) intermediate, suggest an oxidation-induced reductive elimination at nickel(III).
RESUMEN
Nickel-catalyzed electrochemical C-H aminations were accomplished by chemo- and position-selective C-H activation with ample scope. Detailed mechanistic studies highlighted a facile C-H cleavage with unique chemo-selectivity, while cyclovoltammetric analysis provided support for a nickel(II/III/IV) manifold.
RESUMEN
meta-Selective C-H alkylations of bioactive purine derivatives were accomplished by versatile ruthenium catalysis. Thus, the arene-ligand-free complex [Ru(OAc)2 (PPh3 )2 ] enabled remote C-H functionalizations with ample scope and excellent levels of chemo- and positional selectivities. Detailed experimental and computational mechanistic studies provided strong support for a facile C-H activation within a ruthenium(II/III) manifold.
RESUMEN
C-H alkynylations with weakly coordinating acids were accomplished by the aid of an expedient ruthenium(II) catalysis manifold. The user-friendly C-H alkynylation occurred under mild conditions with the weak base K2CO3. The versatility of the ruthenium(II) catalysis was reflected by providing step-economical access to phthalides as well as enabling unprecedented decarboxylative ortho-C-H alkynylations.
RESUMEN
Ruthenium(II)-catalyzed meta-selective C-H (di)fluoromethylation was accomplished by phosphine and carboxylate cooperation. The remote C-H functionalization was characterized by ample substrate scope, thereby setting the stage for meta-(di)fluoromethylation through facile C-H cleavage.
RESUMEN
A new method of cobalt-catalyzed amination of arylamides with simple alkylamines is reported through C(sp(2))-H bond functionalization. For the first time, inexpensive cobalt is exploited as the catalyst in the amination of C(sp(2))-H bond using simple alkylamines.
RESUMEN
A highly efficient cobalt(II)-catalyzed alkynylation/annulation of terminal alkynes assisted by an N,O-bidentate directing group is described. This protocol is characterized by wide substrate scope utilizing cheap cobalt catalysts, and offers a new approach to 3-methyleneisoindolin-1-one, which can be converted into an oxadiazine salt in one step. Moreover, the directing group could be removed in three steps.
RESUMEN
The cobalt-catalyzed alkoxylation of C(sp(2) )H bonds in aromatic and olefinic carboxamides has been developed. The reaction proceeded under mild conditions in the presence of Co(OAc)2 â 4H2 O as the catalyst and tolerates a wide range of both alcohols and benzamide substrates, including even olefinic carboxamides. In addition, this reaction is the first example of the direct alkoxylation of alkenes through CH bond activation.

Highly effective CuCl-mediated C-H alkoxylation of arenes and heteroarenes has been developed by using a 2-aminopyridine 1-oxide moiety as an N,O-bidentate directing group. The reaction proceeds smoothly using a broad range of substrates to afford o-alkoxylated benzoic and heteroaromatic amide products. Moreover, the reaction system shows remarkable compatibility when hexafluoroisopropanol is used as a coupling parter; halogen, nitro, ether, alkoxy, ester, and sulfonyl functional groups are all tolerated. The directing group can be easily removed by base hydrolysis, affording o-alkoxylated benzoic acids.
