Mechanism of the Ni(0)-catalyzed vinylcyclopropane-cyclopentene rearrangement.

ABSTRACT: A combination of physical organic experiments and quantum chemical calculations were used to construct a detailed mechanistic model for the Ni(0)-N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed vinylcyclopropane-cyclopentene rearrangement that involves a mutistep oxidative addition/haptotropic shift/reductive elimination pathway. No evidence for the intermediacy of radicals or zwitterions was found. The roles of substituents on the vinylcyclopropane substrate and variations in the ligands on Ni were evaluated. It is postulated that bulky carbene ligands facilitate formation of the active catalyst species.

Mechanism-Based Design of an Amide-Directed Ni-Catalyzed Arylboration of Cyclopentene Derivatives.

Project description:A method for amide-directed Ni-catalyzed diastereoselective arylboration of cyclopentenes is disclosed. The reaction allows for the synthesis of sterically congested cyclopentane scaffolds that contain an easily derivatized boronic ester and amide functional handles. The nature of the amide directing group and its influence on the reaction outcome are investigated and ultimately reflect a predictably selective reaction based on the solvent and base counterion.

Rh-Catalyzed rearrangement of vinylcyclopropane to 1,3-diene units attached to N-heterocycles.

Project description:Dienes embedded in quinolizidine and indolizidine structures can be prepared in four steps from cyclic nitrones and bicyclopropylidene. The key intermediates ?-spirocyclopropanated N-heterocyclic ketones, generated via a domino 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition/thermal rearrangement sequence, were converted by Wittig methylenation to the corresponding vinylcyclopropanes (VCPs), which underwent rearrangement to 1,3-dienes in the presence of the Wilkinson Rh(I) complex under microwave heating. The previously unexplored Rh(I)-catalyzed opening of the VCP moiety embedded in an azapolycyclic system occurs at high temperature (110-130 °C) to afford the corresponding 1,3-dienes in moderate yield (34-53%).

Ni(0)-catalyzed 1,4-selective diboration of conjugated dienes.

Project description:A catalytic stereoselective 1,4-diboration of conjugated dienes with B(2)(pin)(2) was accomplished with Ni(cod)(2) and PCy(3) as the catalyst. This reaction broadens the substrate scope of current methods for catalytic diene diboration by including internal and sterically hindered dienes, and it proceeds efficiently at low catalyst loadings. The intermediate allylboronate was oxidized to the stereodefined allylic 1,4-diol.

Experimental and Theoretical Study on the "2,2'-Bipiridyl-Ni-Catalyzed" Hirao Reaction of >P(O)H Reagents and Halobenzenes: A Ni(0) → Ni(II) or a Ni(II) → Ni(IV) Mechanism?

Project description:It was found by us that the P-C coupling reaction of >P(O)H reagents with PhX (X = I and Br) in the presence of NiCl2/Zn as the precursors for the assumed Ni(0) complexant together with 2,2'-bipyridine as the ligand took place only with PhI at 50/70 °C. M06-2X/6-31G(d,p)//PCM(MeCN) calculations for the reaction of Ph2P(O)H and PhX revealed a favorable energetics only for the loss of iodide following the oxidative addition of PhI on the Ni(0) atom. However, the assumed transition states with Ni(II) formed after P-ligand uptake and deprotonation could not undergo reductive elimination meaning a "dead-end route". Hence, it was assumed that the initial complexation of the remaining Ni2+ ions with 2,2'-bipyridine may move the P-C coupling forward via a Ni(II) → Ni(IV) transition. This route was also confirmed by calculations, and this mechanism was justified by preparative experiments carried out using NiCl2/bipyridine in the absence of Zn. Hence, the generally accepted Ni(0) → Ni(II) route was refuted by us, confirming the generality of the Ni(II) → N(IV) protocol, either in the presence of bipyridine, or using the excess of the >P(O)H reagent as the P-ligand. The results of the calculations on the complex forming ability of Ni(0) and Ni(II) with 2,2'-bipyridine or the P-reagents were in accord with our mechanistic proposition.

Mechanism of Ni-Catalyzed Reductive 1,2-Dicarbofunctionalization of Alkenes.

Project description:Ni-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling reactions have emerged as appealing methods to construct organic molecules without the use of stoichiometric organometallic reagents. The mechanisms are complex: plausible pathways, such as "radical chain" and "sequential reduction" mechanisms, are dependent on the sequence of the activation of electrophiles. A combination of kinetic, spectroscopic, and organometallic studies reveals that a Ni-catalyzed, reductive 1,2-dicarbofunctionalization of alkenes proceeds through a "sequential reduction" pathway. The reduction of Ni by Zn is the turnover-limiting step, consistent with Ni(II) intermediates as the catalyst resting-state. Zn is only sufficient to reduce (phen)Ni(II) to a Ni(I) species. As a result, commonly proposed Ni(0) intermediates are absent under these conditions. (Phen)Ni(I)-Br selectively activates aryl bromides via two-electron oxidation addition, whereas alkyl bromides are activated by (phen)Ni(I)-Ar through single-electron activation to afford radicals. These findings could provide insight into achieving selectivity between different electrophiles.

Electrochemically Driven, Ni-Catalyzed Aryl Amination: Scope, Mechanism, and Applications.

Project description:C-N cross-coupling is one of the most valuable and widespread transformations in organic synthesis. Largely dominated by Pd- and Cu-based catalytic systems, it has proven to be a staple transformation for those in both academia and industry. The current study presents the development and mechanistic understanding of an electrochemically driven, Ni-catalyzed method for achieving this reaction of high strategic importance. Through a series of electrochemical, computational, kinetic, and empirical experiments, the key mechanistic features of this reaction have been unraveled, leading to a second generation set of conditions that is applicable to a broad range of aryl halides and amine nucleophiles including complex examples on oligopeptides, medicinally relevant heterocycles, natural products, and sugars. Full disclosure of the current limitations and procedures for both batch and flow scale-ups (100 g) are also described.

Sulfonyl Imide Acid-Functionalized Membranes via Ni (0) Catalyzed Carbon-Carbon Coupling Polymerization for Fuel Cells.

Project description:Polymer membranes, having improved conductivity with enhanced thermal and chemical stability, are desirable for proton exchange membranes fuel cell application. Hence, poly(benzophenone)s membranes (SI-PBP) containing super gas-phase acidic sulfonyl imide groups have been prepared from 2,5-dichlorobenzophenone (DCBP) monomer by C-C coupling polymerization using Ni (0) catalyst. The entirely aromatic C-C coupled polymer backbones of the SI-PBP membranes provide exceptional dimensional stability with rational ion exchange capacity (IEC) from 1.85 to 2.30 mS/cm. The as-synthesized SI-PBP membranes provide enhanced proton conductivity (107.07 mS/cm) compared to Nafion 211® (104.5 mS/cm). The notable thermal and chemical stability of the SI-PBP membranes have been assessed by the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fenton's test, respectively. The well distinct surface morphology of the SI-PBP membranes has been confirmed by the atomic force microscopy (AFM). These results of SI-PBP membranes comply with all the requirements for fuel cell applications.

Mechanism of Phosphine-Catalyzed Novel Rearrangement of Vinylcyclopropylketone to Cycloheptenone: A DFT Study.

Project description:The title reaction is theoretically investigated in detail using density functional theory. Three possible routes starting from keto- or enol-type vinylcyclopropylketone are considered in this work. Results indicate that phosphine catalyst would first attack at the three-membered ring (C3 position) rather than the terminal of alkene (C1 position) in vinylcyclopropylketone. It is found that the two-stage mechanism would be responsible for the title reaction. The first stage is the SN2-type ring-opening of the keto-type vinylcyclopropylketone with phosphine catalyst. After the proton-transfer tautomerisms in the zwitterionic intermediates, the second stage is associated with the 7-endo-trig SN2'-type ring closure of keto- or enol-type zwitterions to furnish seven-membered cyclic products and recover the catalyst. Moreover, it turns out that 7-endo-trig SN2'-type ring closure would be highly asynchronous and could be well described as an addition/elimination process where the ring closure already finishes before the cleavage of the C-P bond. Computational results provide a deep insight into experimental observations.
