2 1. Computational Investigations 1.2 Computational Details All calculations were performed with the Gaussian 09 package. [1] Geometries of all stationary points were fully optimized and characterized by vibrational frequency calculations at the M06-2X [2] /6-31G(d,p) level of theory. To get more accurate energies, we performed single-point energy calculations for all the species at the M06-2X/cc-pVTZ level. The calculated gas-phase Gibbs free energies refer to K and 1 atm. A broken-symmetry guess was used for calculations on open-shell systems. For each transition state, the intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) [3] analysis was performed to verify whether the transition state truly connects the reactant and the product. The solvent effect was treated with the polarizable continuum model (PCM). [4] In calculating the free energies for species in the benzene solvent, we have used the method developed by Whitesides et al. [5] to calculate the entropic contributions. This method was designed to better describe the suppression of the translational entropy upon moving from gas phase to a solvent for each species. [6] Activation free energy barriers here are defined as the free energy difference between the transition state and the lowest-energy stationary point before it in the reaction pathways. 1.2 Spin Density Calculations on the Pyridine-Boryl Radical The calculated spin density distribution on 1 is shown in Figure S1. One can see that the spin density is mainly localized at C4 (0.448), C2 (0.218), and N1 (0.139), and only a small spin density on B (0.048). This distribution of spin density is mainly S2

3 due to the resonance stabilization effect of the pyridinyl group. Carbon radical character is dominant in 1, which indicates that radical 1 may act as a carbon radical for the development of other new reactions, in particular reactions that lead to the synthesis of pyridine derivatives via the radical carbon-carbon coupling reactions. Figure S1. DFT-optimized structure and the calculated spin density in the pyridine-boryl radical Theoretical Investigations on Possible Substrates for Radical C-C Coupling Reactions Before verifying our hypothesis, we performed calculations to investigate the possibility for the addition of the boryl radical from radical 1 to other substrates for subsequent radical coupling reactions. As shown in Scheme S1, the addition of the boryl radical from radical 1 to 2-cyclohexenone, benzaldehyde and N-phenyl-1-(p-tolyl) methanimine were only endothermic by 2.2, 0.5 and 3.4 kcal/mol, respectively. These results indicate that the generation of new radicals with above mentioned substrates is feasible. In the following studies, the reaction between radical 1 and 2-cyclohexenone was selected as the model reaction to investigate the reactivity of the pyridine-boryl radical 1 in radical C-C coupling reactions. S3

4 Scheme S1. Thermodynamical calculations for the reactions between 1 and some potential substrates (kcal/mol, in gas phase). 1.4 Theoretical Investigations on Dimerization of the Pyridine-boryl Radical The homo-coupling reaction of the radical 1 may generate three possible C-C coupling intermediates (IntC4-C4, IntC4-C4, and IntC2-C4), as listed in Scheme S2 and Figure S2. Although the formation of these three dimers are exothermic by 2.9, 4.6, and 3.7 kcal/ml, respectively, the corresponding barrier of these processes are about only kcal/mol, suggesting that the homo-coupling reactions of radical 1 are all reversible. Thus, the radical 1 may be considered as a persistent radical for subsequent radical cross-coupling reactions. The existence of the dimeric species of 1 was further verified by 1 H NMR and HRMS analysis (see experimental section, Figure S8). S4

5 Scheme S2. Possible pathways for the dimerization of pyridine-boryl radical (1). Figure S2. Computed Gibbs free energy (in kcal/mol) profile for the homo-coupling reaction of the pyridine-boryl radical 1 in the solvent (benzene). 1.5 Comparison between Radical C-C and C-B Coupling Reactions As shown in Figures S3 and S4, in addition to the radical C-C coupling pathway (Figure S3a), the radical coupling reaction between 1 and Int2 can also generate a C-B coupling intermediate (Int6) via TS5, with a barrier of 13.7 kcal/mol (Figure S3b), which is 2.2 kcal/mol higher than that of the C-C coupling transition state (TS3). The generation of Int6 is only exothermic by 17.0 kcal/mol (with respect to the radical 1 and reactant 2b). Hence, the formation of the C-B coupling product is less favorable both thermodynamically and kinetically. These results are consistent with the observed fact that only the C-C coupling products were detected in the following experimental sections. S5

7 Figure S5. Computed Gibbs free energy (in kcal/mol) profile for the homocoupling of enone-boryl radical (Int1) in the solvent (benzene). As shown in Figure S5, the homo-coupling of enone-boryl radical is exothermic by 37.7 kcal/mol (with respect to separated 1 and 2b). However, no homo-coupling product of Int2 was detected, which may be attributed by the persistent radical effect. [7] As shown in Eq. (a), the generation of the new radical Int2 is endothermic by 1.8 kcal/mol, which suggests that the concentration of the radical 1 is much higher that of Int2. Thus, the formation of cross-coupling product of 1 and Int2 is dominant in our system , 2- and 1, 4-Addition of Pyridine-boryl Radical to the 2-Cyclohexenone S7

8 Figure S6. Computed Gibbs free energy (in kcal/mol) profile for the direct addition reaction of the pyridine-boryl radical (1) to 2-cyclohexenone (2b) in the solvent (benzene) along 1, 4-addition pathway (a) and the 1, 2-addition pathway (b). The direct 1, 2- or 1, 4-addition of pyridine-boryl radical (1) to enone 2b could also generate the same C4-substituted pyridines. As shown in Figure S6, the relative free energy of Int8 and Int9 is 22.6 and 50.0 kcal/mol higher than that of separated 1 and 2b, respectively, suggesting that the 1,4- or 1,2-addition of 1 to 2-cyclohexenone (2b) is unlikely to occur.

9 2. Experimental Studies on Substrate Scopes 2.1 General Information All reactions were carried out under nitrogen atmosphere. Anhydrous CH3CN, CH2Cl2, toluene, THF and methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) were purchased from Acros and used as received. Other solvents were dried by distillation over the appropriate drying reagents. All NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker AVANCE Ⅲ 400 spectrometer at room temperature with CDCl3 as the solvent and TMS as the internal standard. Chemical shifts (δ) were reported in ppm with respect to the residue solvent peak. Coupling constant (J) were reported in Hert (Hz), abbreviations for signal couplings are indicated as follows: s, singlet; d, doublet; t, triplet; m, multiplet. Infrared spectra were recorded on a ThermoFisher Nicolet is5 FTIR using neat thin film technique. High-resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were recorded on Thermo Quest Finnigan LCQDECA system equipped with an ESI ionization source. Enones 2l, [8] 2m and 2o, [9] 2n, [10] 2h, [11] 2j, [12] 2A, [13] 2p, [14] 2r, [15] 2t and 2u, [16] 3-(methylthio)isonicotinonitrile, [17] and 6, [18] were synthesized according to the reported procedure. All other commercially available reagents were used without further purification. 2.2 Optimization Studies Using aryl Aldehydes as the Coupling Partner Table S1 Optimization studies. a S9

11 A sealed reaction tube charged with a magnetic stir bar, B2(pin)2 (0.24 mmol, 1.2 equiv), 4-cyanopyridine (0.3 mmol, 1.5 equiv), MTBE (1 ml) and the corresponding coupling partner (2, 11, 13, 15, 17) was placed in a heated oil bath (25-70 C). After hours the reaction was cooled and quenched with 2M Na2CO3 aqueous solution (3 ml). The reaction tube was stirred under air for another 15 minutes. 10 ml of brine was added to the reaction mixture and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (3 10mL). The combined organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and then concentrated in vacuo to afford the crude product. This crude material was purified by preparative TLC or chromatography on silca gel to afford the desired 4-substituted pyridines. B: Using Aryl Aldehydes and Ketone as the Coupling Partner A sealed reaction tube charged with a magnetic stir bar, B2(pin)2 (0.48 mmol, 2.4 equiv), 4-cyanopyridine (0.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv), MTBE (1 ml) and the corresponding aryl aldehydes or ketone (9) was placed in a heated oil bath (90 C). After 24 hours the reaction was cooled and the reaction was quenched by 2M Na2CO3 aqueous solution (3 ml). The mixture was stirred under air for another 15 minutes. 10 ml of brine was added to the reaction mixture and the product was extracted with EtOAc (3 10mL). The organic layer was collected, dried over Na2SO4, and then concentrated in vacuo to afford the crude product. This crude material was purified by preparative TLC to afford the desired 4-substituted pyridines. The yields were referred to 4-cyanopyridine. S11

12 2.4 Effect of Substituents on the Pyridine Ring The effect of substituents on the pyridine ring was investigated, as shown in Scheme S3a. 4-cyanopyridines bearing substituents such as F, Cl, and methyl, at C-3 position could afford the corresponding 1, 4-addition products (3v, 3w, and 3x) in moderate yield. However, for the 4-cyanopyridines bearing a substituent at C-2 position, no product was detected, suggesting that the 2-substitued-4-cyanopyridine failed to activate the B-B bond of B2(pin)2 to generate the corresponding boryl radical, which is mainly due to the steric effect of the substituents at C-2 position (Scheme S3b). Scheme S3. Reactions of 2-cyclohepten-1-one (2c) with the substituted 4-cycano pyridines. 3. Experimental Studies on the Mechanism 3.1 Detecting the Boron-enolate Intermediate by HRMS Analysis In order to verify the involvement of the boron-enolate intermedate under the proposed radical addition/coupling addition conditions, HRMS analysis was S12

13 performed to detect the possible intermediate. Experimental procedure: A sealed reaction tube was charged with a magnetic stir bar, B2(pin)2 (61.9 mg, 0.24 mmol, 1.2 equiv), 4-cyanopyridine (31.2 mg, 0.3 mmol, 1.5 equiv), MTBE (1 ml) and cyclohept-2-en-1-one (2c) (24.7 μl, 0.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv.). The mixture was stirred at 25 C for 12h, after which, the ESI-MS analysis of the crude reaction mixture was carried out immediately. The mass for an aromatized boron-enolate intermediate (Int3 ) is C18H26BNNaO3 + [M+Na] + calc , found (Figure S7). However, the direct detection of Int3-like structure was not successful, possibly due to its rapid aromatization. Figure S7. Mass spectrum of the crude reaction mixture of 4-cycanopyridine, B2(pin)2 and cyclohept-2-en-1-one. 3.2 Trapping the boron-enolate with Cyano Group S13

14 Experimental procedure: The trapping of B-enolate intermediate with a cyano group was carried out following general procedure A using the cyclohept-2-en-1-one (2c) (24.7 μl, 0.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv.), 3, 4-dicyanopyridine (39.5 mg, 0.3 mmol, 1.5 equiv.), B2(pin)2 (61.9 mg, 0.24 mmol, 1.2 equiv) and MTBE (1 ml) at 70 C. After 24 hours, following the described workup procedure, the reaction mixture was purified by preparative TLC (PE/EtOAc = 1:2) to afford compound 5 with fused ring scaffold (8 mg, 19% yield), indicating that an intramolecular trapping of the boron-enolate via a nucleophilic addition reaction occurred. The computed relative free energy of imine-isomer 5 or 5 is higher about 14 kcal/mol than that of enamine-isomer 5, suggesting that the generation of 5 is favorable (See Scheme S4). The 13 C NMR spectrum in a CDCl3 solution displays only five peaks at upfield (and with eight peaks at downfield), indicating that 5 is the predominant species. Scheme S4.

In the presence of 3-chloro-4-cycano pyridine and B2(pin)2 at 70 o C, the product 7 is generated from the opening of fused cyclopropyl group in 13% yield. This result also supported the involvement of radical intermediate in the proposed pathways. Experimental procedure: Following general procedure A, a mixture of 6 (28.9 mg, 0.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv.), 3-chloro-4-cyano pyridine (42.4 mg, 0.3 mmol, 1.5 equiv.), B2(pin)2 (61.9 mg, 0.24 mmol, 1.2 equiv) and MTBE (1 ml) was stirred at 70 C. After 24 hours, with the described workup procedure, the reaction mixture was S15

Since these species are highly moisture and air sensitive, 1 H NMR and HRMS analysis were carried out to detect the presence of S16

17 these intermediates. Scheme S5. DFT-optimized three possible isomers of the homo-coupling of pyridine-boryl radical. Experimental procedure: Bis(pinacolato)diboron (30.5 mg, 0.12 mmol) and 4-cycanopyridine (15.7 mg, 0.15 mmol) were mixed in 0.5 ml THF-d8 in a NMR tube. The NMR tube was sealed with a cap before removal from the glove box. The mixture was allowed to heat for 12 h at 40 C, 1 H NMR analysis was carried out to determine the generation of the dimerization product. As shown in Figure S8, the peaks in the 1 H NMR spectrum of the 4-cyanopyridine/B2(pin)2 reaction mixture are significantly different from those of 4-cyanopyridine. The signals at ppm may be attributed to the 1,2 or (and) 1,4-dihydropyridine moiety, which are similar to the previously reported peaks of the 1,2 or 1,4-dearomatized pyridine. [19, 20] In addition, the mass for dimeric isomers IntC4-C4 (or IntC2-C2, IntC2-C4) is C24H33B2N4O4 + [M+Na] + calc , found These results suggested that the dimeric species of pyridine-boryl radical was formed in the mixture of 4-cyanopyridine and B2(pin)2. The direct observation of dimeric isomers is consistent with our DFT calculations. S17
