          Abstract

          A combinatorial screening strategy is described that exploits complex mixtures of precatalysts and ligands to rapidly uncover lead in situ generated catalysts.

          Abstract

          A reaction-economic combinatorial strategy is described for lead hit identification in catalyst discovery efforts directed towards a specific transformation. Complex mixtures of rationally chosen precatalysts and ligands are screened against various reaction parameters to identify lead conditions in a small number of reactions. Iterative deconvolution of the resulting hits identifies which components contribute to the lead in situ generated catalyst. Application of this strategy rapidly uncovered a new mild in situ generated catalyst for the dehydrative Friedel–Crafts reaction as well as conditions for selective monoarylation in catalytic ortho-C–H arylation of unsubstituted N-(quinolin-8-yl)benzamide.

            Highly regioselective arylation of sp3 C-H bonds catalyzed by palladium acetate.

            A new palladium-catalyzed arylation process based on C-H activation has been developed. The utilization of pyridine-containing directing groups allows the beta-arylation of carboxylic acid derivatives and gamma-arylation of amine derivatives. Both primary and secondary sp3 C-H bonds, as well as sp2 C-H bonds, are reactive.

              Discovery of an α-amino C-H arylation reaction using the strategy of accelerated serendipity.

              Serendipity has long been a welcome yet elusive phenomenon in the advancement of chemistry. We sought to exploit serendipity as a means of rapidly identifying unanticipated chemical transformations. By using a high-throughput, automated workflow and evaluating a large number of random reactions, we have discovered a photoredox-catalyzed C-H arylation reaction for the construction of benzylic amines, an important structural motif within pharmaceutical compounds that is not readily accessed via simple substrates. The mechanism directly couples tertiary amines with cyanoaromatics by using mild and operationally trivial conditions.
