Oxidatively induced C-H activation at high valent nickel
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-19, 04:42 authored by Chong, E, Kampf, JW, Alireza AriafardAlireza Ariafard, Allan CantyAllan Canty, Sanford, MSThis communication describes a series of oxidatively induced intramolecular arene C–H activation reactions of NiII model complexes to yield NiIV σ-aryl products. These reactions proceed within 10 min at room temperature, which represents among the mildest conditions reported for C–H cleavage at a Ni center. A combination of density functional theory and preliminary experimental mechanistic studies implicate a pathway involving initial 2e– oxidation of the NiII starting materials by the F+ transfer reagent N-fluoro-2,4,6-trimethylpyridinium triflate followed by triflate-assisted C–H cleavage at NiIV to yield the products.
