Abstract
Atomically precise copper nanoclusters (NCs) are an emerging class of nanomaterials for catalysis. Their versatile core-shell architecture opens the possibility of tailoring their catalytically active sites. Here, we introduce a core-shell copper nanocluster (CuNC), [Cu29(StBu)13Cl5(PPh3)4H10]tBuSO3 (StBu: tert-butylthiol; PPh3: triphenylphosphine), Cu29NC, with multiple accessible active sites on its shell. We show that this nanocluster is a versatile catalyst for C-heteroatom bond formation (C-O, C-N, and C-S) with several advantages over previous Cu systems. When supported, the cluster can also be reused as a heterogeneous catalyst without losing its efficiency, making it a hybrid homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyst. We elucidated the atomic-level mechanism of the catalysis using density functional theory (DFT) calculations based on the single crystal structure. We found that the cooperative action of multiple neighboring active sites is essential for the catalyst's efficiency. The calculations also revealed that oxidative addition is the rate-limiting step that is facilitated by the neighboring active sites of the Cu29NC, which highlights a unique advantage of nanoclusters over traditional copper catalysts. Our results demonstrate the potential of nanoclusters for enabling the rational atomically precise design and investigation of multi-site catalysts.

[PMID: 38151905 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202315994] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/29/2023]
Abstract
α-Aryl substituted nitroalkanes are valuable synthetic building blocks that can be easily converted into α-aryl substituted aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, as well as amines. Herein, an efficient Cu/oxalamide-catalyzed coupling between nitroalkanes and (hetero)aryl halides (Br, I) was developed to direct access highly diverse α-aryl substituted nitroalkanes. Compared with the current state of art, this protocol is more environmentally friendly and practical for synthetic chemists. This approach is characterized by a broad substrate scope on both nitroalkane part (primary nitroalkanes and nitromethane) and sp2 halide part ((hetero)aryl bromides/iodides and alkenyl bromides/iodides). The excellent functional group tolerance was observed, which would enable real world synthetic applications. More importantly, TON of current transformation reached to 3640, when some aryl iodides were used as coupling partners. This represents currently the highest catalyst turnover for transition-metal catalyzed α-arylation of nitroalkanes. Furthermore, the successful application in late-stage modification of complex molecules and synthesis of a known retinoid X receptor (RXR) antagonist exemplified its synthetic potential.

Abstract
The arylation of azaheterocycles can be considered as one of the most important processes for the preparation of various biologically active compounds. In the present work, we describe a method for the copper-catalyzed N-arylation of hindered oxazolidinones using diaryliodonium salts. The method succeeds in good to excellent yields for the arylation of 4-alkyloxazolidinones, including sterically hindered isopropyl- and tert-butyl-substituted. The efficiency of the method was demonstrated for a wide range of diaryliodonium salts - symmetric and unsymmetric as well as ortho-substituted derivatives. The developed approach will provide an important contribution in the development and preparation of novel drugs and bioactive molecules containing oxazolidinone moieties.

Abstract
Triarylamines are privileged core structures that are found in versatile optoelectronic materials. New methods are constantly being sought for their preparation. Herein, a new protocol for triarylamine synthesis is presented where a wide range of diarylamines couple smoothly with aryl bromides mediated by a copper oxalamide (or amide) catalytic system. Notably, a new non-C2-symmetric 1-isoquinolinamide-based N,N-/N,O-bidentate ligand was introduced that could tolerate bulky diarylamines. Plenty of known optoelectronic functional molecules could be synthesized in good to excellent yields. The practicality of this C-N cross-coupling was illustrated by the gram-scale synthesis of a patented thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitter for organic light-emitting diodes.
