Mechanochemistry Drives Alkene Difunctionalization via Radical Ligand Transfer and Electron Catalysis.

ABSTRACT: A general and modular protocol is reported for olefin difunctionalization through mechanochemistry, facilitated by cooperative radical ligand transfer (RLT) and electron catalysis. Utilizing mechanochemical force and catalytic amounts of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyloxyl (TEMPO), ferric nitrate can leverage nitryl radicals, transfer nitrooxy-functional group via RLT, and mediate an electron catalysis cycle under room temperature. A diverse range of activated and unactivated alkenes exhibited chemo- and regioselective 1,2-nitronitrooxylation under solvent-free or solvent-less conditions, showcasing excellent functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies indicated a significant impact of mechanochemistry and highlighted the radical nature of this nitrative difunctionalization process.

Controlled Single-Electron Transfer via Metal-Ligand Cooperativity Drives Divergent Nickel-Electrocatalyzed Radical Pathways.

Project description:Electrocatalysis enables the construction of C-C bonds under mild conditions via controlled formation of carbon-centered radicals. For sequences initiated by alkyl halide reduction, coordinatively unsaturated Ni complexes commonly serve as single-electron transfer agents, giving rise to the foundational question of whether outer- or inner-sphere electron transfer oxidative addition prevails in redox mediation. Indeed, rational design of electrochemical processes requires the discrimination of these two electron transfer pathways, as they can have outsized effects on the rate of substrate bond activation and thus impact radical generation rates and downstream product selectivities. We present results from combined synthetic, electroanalytical, and computational studies that examine the mechanistic differences of single electron transfer to alkyl halides imparted by Ni metal-ligand cooperativity. Electrogenerated reduced Ni species, stabilized by delocalized spin density onto a redox-active tpyPY2Me polypyridyl ligand, activates alkyl iodides via outer-sphere electron transfer, allowing for the selective activation of alkyl iodide substrates over halogen atom donors and the controlled generation and sequestration of electrogenerated radicals. In contrast, the Ni complex possessing a redox-innocent pentapyridine congener activates the substrates in an inner-sphere fashion owning to a purely metal-localized spin, thereby activating both substrates and halogen atom donors in an indiscriminate fashion, generating a high concentration of radicals and leading to unproductive dimerization. Our data establish that controlled electron transfer via Ni-ligand cooperativity can be used to limit undesired radical recombination products and promote selective radical processes in electrochemical environments, providing a generalizable framework for designing redox mediators with distinct rate and potential requirements.

Alkene 1,2-Difunctionalization by Radical Alkenyl Migration.

Project description:Transition-metal-free radical α-perfluoroalkylation with the accompanying vicinal β-alkenylation of unactivated alkenes is presented. These radical cascades proceed by means of 1,4- or 1,5-alkenyl migration by electron catalysis on readily accessed allylic alcohols. The reactions comprise a regioselective perfluoroalkyl radical addition with subsequent alkenyl migration and concomitant deprotonation to generate a ketyl radical anion that sustains the chain as a single-electron-transfer reducing reagent.

Photocatalytic, modular difunctionalization of alkenes enabled by ligand-to-metal charge transfer and radical ligand transfer.

Project description:Ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) is a mechanistic strategy that provides a powerful tool to access diverse open-shell species using earth abundant elements and has seen tremendous growth in recent years. However, among many reaction manifolds driven by LMCT reactivity, a general and catalytic protocol for modular difunctionalization of alkenes remains unknown. Leveraging the synergistic cooperation of iron-catalyzed ligand-to-metal charge transfer and radical ligand transfer (RLT), here we report a photocatalytic, modular difunctionalization of alkenes using inexpensive iron salts catalytically to function as both radical initiator and terminator. Additionally, strategic use of a fluorine atom transfer reagent allows for general fluorochlorination of alkenes, providing the first example of interhalogen compound formation using earth abundant element photocatalysis. Broad scope, mild conditions and versatility in converting orthogonal nucleophiles (TMSN3 and NaCl) directly into corresponding open-shell radical species are demonstrated in this study, providing a robust means towards accessing vicinal diazides and homo-/hetero-dihalides motifs catalytically. These functionalities are important precursors/intermediates in medicinal and material chemistry. Preliminary mechanistic studies support the radical nature of these transformations, disclosing the tandem LMCT/RLT as a powerful reaction manifold in catalytic olefin difunctionalization.

Radical Aza-Heck Cyclization of Imidates via Energy Transfer, Electron Transfer, and Cobalt Catalysis.

Project description:A radical aza-Heck cyclization has been developed to afford functionally rich products with four contiguous C-heteroatom bonds. This multi-catalytic strategy provides rapid syntheses of dense, medicinally relevant motifs by enabling the conversion of alcohol-derived imidates to heteroatom-rich fragments containing vinyl oxazolines/oxazoles, allyl amines, β-amino alcohols/halides, and combinations thereof. Mechanistic insights of this process show how three distinct photocatalytic cycles cooperate to enable: (1) imidate radical generation by energy transfer, (2) dehydrogenation by Co catalysis, and (3) catalyst turnover by electron transfer.

Catalytic Alkene Difunctionalization via Imidate Radicals.

Project description:The first catalytic strategy to harness imidate radicals has been developed. This approach enables alkene difunctionalization of allyl alcohols by photocatalytic reduction of their oxime imidates. The ensuing imidate radicals undergo consecutive intra- and intermolecular reactions to afford (i) hydroamination, (ii) aminoalkylation, or (iii) aminoarylation, via three distinct radical mechanisms. The broad scope and utility of this catalytic method for imidate radical reactivity is presented, along with comparisons to other N-centered radicals and complementary, closed-shell imidate pathways.

Tandem copper and photoredox catalysis in photocatalytic alkene difunctionalization reactions.

Project description:Oxidative alkene difunctionalization reactions are important in synthetic organic chemistry because they can install polar functional groups onto simple non-polar alkene moieties. Many of the most common methods for these reactions rely upon the reactivity of pre-oxidized electrophilic heteroatom donors that can often be unstable, explosive, or difficult to handle. Herein, we describe a method for alkene oxyamination and diamination that utilizes simple carbamate and urea groups as nucleophilic heteroatom donors. This method uses a tandem copper-photoredox catalyst system that is operationally convenient. The identity of the terminal oxidant is critical in these studies. Ag(I) salts proved to be unique in their ability to turn over the copper cocatalyst without deleteriously impacting the reactivity of the organoradical intermediates.

Intermolecular Alkene Difunctionalization via Gold-Catalyzed Oxyarylation.

Project description:The gold-catalyzed intermolecular oxyarylation of alkenes is reported. This work employed the oxidative addition of aryl iodides to Me-DalphosAu+ for the formation of a AuIII -Ar intermediate. The better binding ability of alkenes over O nucleophiles ensured the success of intermolecular oxyarylation, giving desired products with a broad substrate scope and high efficiency (>50 examples with up to 95 % yield). One-pot converting of methoxy groups into other nucleophiles allowed achieving alkene difunctionalization with the construction of C-N, C-S, and C-C bonds under mild conditions.

Ketyl radical reactivity via atom transfer catalysis.

Project description:Single-electron reduction of a carbonyl to a ketyl enables access to a polarity-reversed platform of reactivity for this cornerstone functional group. However, the synthetic utility of the ketyl radical is hindered by the strong reductants necessary for its generation, which also limit its reactivity to net reductive mechanisms. We report a strategy for net redox-neutral generation and reaction of ketyl radicals. The in situ conversion of aldehydes to α-acetoxy iodides lowers their reduction potential by more than 1 volt, allowing for milder access to the corresponding ketyl radicals and an oxidative termination event. Upon subjecting these iodides to a dimanganese decacarbonyl precatalyst and visible light irradiation, an atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) mechanism affords a broad scope of vinyl iodide products with high Z-selectivity.

Enhanced Polyacrylamide Degradation via OH Radical-Initiated Single-Electron Transfer.

Project description:Hydroxyl (OH) radicals, as common radicals in aqueous environments, play an important role in inducing the degradation reactions of polymers. However, understanding the fundamental mechanisms of radical-induced degradation of polymers at the atomic level remains a formidable challenge. In this study, we employ density functional theory to investigate the geometric and electronic structural properties of polyacrylamide (PAM) in (-CH2CHCONH2-)n (n = 2-6) complexes. Additionally, we explore the degradation mechanism of the n = 4 complex induced by the OH radical. The results indicate that there are three sites for the initial reaction (R1 and R2 are at the ends and R3 is in the middle). The OH radical removes a H atom from the PAM main chain and simultaneously triggers a single-electron-transfer process on the same chain. This process significantly reduces the dissociation energy barrier of the C-C bond in the PAM chain, from ∼90 to ∼20 kcal/mol. Specifically, when the induced reaction occurs at the end of the chain, a series of broken bonds will appear only along the main chain. While it happens in the middle, the broken bonds will exist simultaneously along both the main and side chains. Our results reveal the importance of OH radicals in polymer dissociation, particularly in PAM, and emphasize the degradation mechanism of SET.

Pd-Catalyzed Alkene Difunctionalization Reactions of Malonate Nucleophiles: Synthesis of Substituted Cyclopentanes via Alkene Aryl-Alkylation and Akenyl-Alkylation.

Project description:The Pd-catalyzed coupling of malonate nucleophiles with alkenes bearing tethered aryl or alkenyl triflates is described. These alkene difunctionalization reactions afford malonate-substituted cyclopentanes that contain fused aryl or cycloalkenyl rings. The transformations generate a five-membered ring, two C-C bonds, and provide products bearing up to three stereocenters with good chemical yield and generally high diastereoselectivity.
