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. The experimental process involved the reaction of 2-Bromobenzonitrile(cas: 2042-37-7Recommanded Product: 2-Bromobenzonitrile)
2-Bromobenzonitrile(cas: 2042-37-7) is a precursor to the quinazolinones, a class of drugs used to treat autoimmune diseases and coronary heart disease. This substrate molecule undergoes a palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction to form an aromatic ring. The light emission from this reaction can be seen in the reaction solution.Recommanded Product: 2-Bromobenzonitrile
