A general strategy for regiocontrol in nickel-catalyzed reductive couplings of aldehydes and alkynes.

ABSTRACT: A strategy for catalyst-controlled regioselectivity in aldehyde-alkyne reductive couplings has been developed. This strategy is the first where either regiochemical outcome may be selected for a broad range of couplings, without relying on substrate biases or directing effects. The complementary use of small cyclopropenylidene carbene ligands or highly hindered N-heterocyclic carbene ligands allows the regiochemical reversal with unbiased internal alkynes, aromatic internal alkynes, conjugated enynes, or terminal alkynes.

Origins of regioselectivity and alkene-directing effects in nickel-catalyzed reductive couplings of alkynes and aldehydes.

Project description:The origins of reactivity and regioselectivity in nickel-catalyzed reductive coupling reactions of alkynes and aldehydes were investigated with density functional calculations. The regioselectivities of reactions of simple alkynes are controlled by steric effects, while conjugated enynes and diynes are predicted to have increased reactivity and very high regioselectivities, placing alkenyl or alkynyl groups distal to the forming C-C bond. The reactions of enynes and diynes involve 1,4-attack of the Ni-carbonyl complex on the conjugated enyne or diyne. The consequences of these conclusions on reaction design are discussed.

Nickel-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings of aldehydes.

Project description:Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-couplings have been extensively used in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for the construction of diverse C-C bonds. Conventional cross-coupling reactions require reactive electrophilic coupling partners, such as organohalides or sulfonates, which are not environmentally friendly and not naturally abundant. Another disadvantage associated with these transformations is the need for an exogenous base to facilitate the key transmetalation step, and this reagent inevitably induces side reactions and limits the substrate scope. Here, we report an unconventional Suzuki-type approach to the synthesis of biaryls, through nickel-catalyzed deformylative cross coupling of aldehydes with organoboron reagents under base-free conditions. The transformation tolerates structurally diverse (hetero)aryl substituents on both coupling partners and shows high reactivity and excellent functional group tolerance. Furthermore, the protocol was carried out on gram scale and successfully applied to the functionalization of complex biologically active molecules. Mechanistic investigations support a catalytic cycle involving the oxidative addition of the nickel into the aldehyde C(acyl)-H bond with subsequent hydride transfer, transmetalation, decarbonylation and reductive elimination processes.

Nickel-Catalyzed Reductive [2+2] Cycloaddition of Alkynes.

Project description:The nickel-catalyzed synthesis of tetrasubstituted cyclobutenes from alkynes is reported. This transformation is uniquely promoted by the use of a primary aminophosphine, an unusual ligand in nickel catalysis. Mechanistic insights for this new transformation are provided, and postreaction modifications of the cyclobutene products to stereodefined cyclic and acyclic compounds are reported, including the synthesis of epi-truxillic acid.

Nickel-Catalyzed Three-Component Cycloadditions of Enoates, Alkynes, and Aldehydes.

Project description:A method for the three-component cycloaddition of enoates, alkynes, and aldehydes has been developed. Building upon previous work by this group in which stoichiometrically generated metallacycles undergo alkylation, we report a catalytic, alkylative [3 + 2] cycloaddition. From simple starting materials, structurally complex cyclopentenones may be rapidly assembled. Computational investigation of the mechanism (ωB97X-D3/cc-pVTZ//ωB97X/6-31G(d)) identified three energetically feasible pathways. Based on the relative rates of ketene formation compared to isomerization to a seven-membered metallacycle, the most likely mechanism has been determined to occur "ketene-first", with carbocyclization prior to aldol addition. Deuterium labeling studies suggest that formation of the seven-membered metallacycle becomes possible when an α-substituted enoate is used. This observed change in selectivity is due to the increased difficulty of phenoxide elimination with the inclusion of additional steric bulk of the α-substituent. The net transformation results in a [3 + 2] cycloaddition accompanied by an alkylation of the enoate substituent.

Nickel-catalyzed reductive arylation of activated alkynes with aryl iodides.

Project description:The direct, regioselective, and stereoselective arylation of activated alkynes with aryl iodides using a nickel catalyst and manganese reductant is described. The reaction conditions are mild (40 °C in MeOH, no acid or base) and an intermediate organomanganese reagent is unlikely. Functional groups tolerated include halides and pseudohalides, free and protected anilines, and a benzyl alcohol. Other activated alkynes including an amide and a ketone also reacted to form arylated products in good yields.

Regiocontrol in the cobalt-catalyzed hydrosilylation of alkynes.

Project description:Hydrofunctionalizations of unsaturated hydrocarbons are key strategies for the synthesis of functionalized building blocks. Here, we report highly versatile cobalt-catalyzed hydrosilylations of alkynes that operate with minute amounts of the inexpensive, bench-stable pre-catalyst Co(OAc)2·4H2O under mild conditions (0.1-1 mol%, THF, r.t., 1 h). Near-perfect regiocontrol/stereocontrol was induced by the choice of the ligand: bidentate phosphines afforded (E)-β-vinylsilanes; α-vinylsilanes formed with bipyridine ligands.

Regiocontrol in catalytic reductive couplings through alterations of silane rate dependence.

Project description:Combinations of ligand, reducing agent, and reaction conditions have been identified that allow alteration in the rate- and regioselectivity-determining step of nickel-catalyzed aldehyde-alkyne reductive couplings. Whereas previously developed protocols involve metallacycle-forming oxidative cyclization as the rate-determining step, this study illustrates that the combination of large ligands, large silanes, and elevated reaction temperature alters the rate- and regiochemistry-determining step for one of the two possible product regioisomers. These modifications render metallacycle formation reversible for the minor isomer pathway, and σ-bond metathesis of the metallacycle Ni-O bond with the silane reductant becomes rate limiting. The ability to tune regiocontrol via this alteration in reversibility of a key step allows highly regioselective outcomes that were not possible using previously developed methods.

Direct dehydrogenative alkyl Heck-couplings of vinylarenes with umpolung aldehydes catalyzed by nickel.

Project description:Alkenes are fundamental functionalities in nature and highly useful intermediates in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry and material sciences. Transition-metal-catalyzed Heck couplings with organic halides as electrophiles have been established as a powerful protocol for the synthesis of this valuable building block. However, the requirement of organic halides and the generation of stoichiometric hazardous halide wastes may cause significant sustainable concerns. The halide-free oxidative Heck alkenylations involving organometallics or arenes as the coupling partners provide a facile and alternative pathway. Nonetheless, stoichiometric amounts of extra oxidant are essential in most cases. Herein, we present a direct dehydrogenative alkyl Heck-coupling reaction under oxidant-free conditions, liberating hydrogen, nitrogen and water as the side products. Excellent regioselectivity is achieved via neighboring oxygen atom coordination. Broad substrate scope, great functional group (ketone, ester, phenol, free amine, amide etc) tolerance and modification of pharmaceutical candidates and biological molecules exemplified its generality and practicability.

Dimer involvement and origin of crossover in nickel-catalyzed aldehyde-alkyne reductive couplings.

Project description:The mechanism of nickel(0)-catalyzed reductive coupling of aldehydes and alkynes has been studied. Extensive double-labeling crossover studies have been conducted. While previous studies illustrated that phosphine- and N-heterocyclic carbene-derived catalysts exhibited differing behavior, the origin of these effects has now been evaluated in detail. Many variables, including ligand class, sterics of the ligand and alkyne, temperature, and ring size being formed in intramolecular versions, all influence the extent of crossover observed. A computational evaluation of these effects suggests that dimerization of a key metallacyclic intermediate provides the origin of crossover. Protocols that proceed with crossover are typically less efficient than those without crossover given the thermodynamic stability and low reactivity of the dimeric metallacycles involved in crossover pathways.

NHC Ligands Tailored for Simultaneous Regio- and Enantiocontrol in Nickel-Catalyzed Reductive Couplings.

Project description:An exceptionally hindered class of enantiopure NHC ligands has been developed. While racemic forms had previously been utilized, a scalable and practical route to the enantiopure form of this ligand class is described utilizing a Buchwald-Hartwig N,N-diarylation in a highly sterically demanding environment. Using this newly accessible ligand class, nickel-catalyzed enantioselective reductive coupling reactions of aldehydes and alkynes have been developed. These studies illustrate that the newly available NHC ligands are well suited for simultaneous control of regio- and enantioselectivity, even in cases with internal alkynes possessing only very subtle steric differences between two aliphatic substituents. The steric demand of the new ligand class enables a complementary regiochemical outcome compared with previously described enantioselective processes. Using this method, a number of allylic alcohol derivatives were efficiently obtained with high regioselectivity (up to >95:5) and high enantioselectivity (up to 94% ee). The reaction conditions can also be extended to the reaction of aldehydes and allenes, providing silyl-protected allylic alcohol derivatives possessing a terminal methylene substituent. Computational studies have explained the origin of the exceptional steric demand of this ligand class, the basis for enantioselectivity, and the cooperative relationship of the aldehyde, alkyne, and ligand in influencing enantioselectivity.
