Mechanistic origin of the stereodivergence in decarboxylative allylation.

ABSTRACT: A stereochemical test has been used to probe the mechanism of decarboxylative allylation. This probe suggests that the mechanism of DcA reactions can change based on the substitution pattern at the alpha-carbon of the nucleophile; however, reaction via stabilized malonate nucleophiles is the lower energy pathway. Lastly, this mechanistic proposal has predictive power and can be used to explain chemoselectivities in decarboxylative reactions that were previously confounding.

Rapid decarboxylative allylation of nitroalkanes.

Project description:Allyl nitroacetates undergo decarboxylative allylation to provide tertiary nitroalkanes in high yield. Moreover, the transformations are complete within several minutes under ambient conditions. High yields result because O-allylation of the intermediate nitronates, which is typically problematic, is reversible under conditions of the decarboxylative allylation process. Lastly, the preparation of substrate allyl nitroacetates by tandem Knoevenagel/Diels-Alder sequences allows the facile synthesis of relatively complex substrates that undergo diastereoselective decarboxylative allylation.

Regiospecific decarboxylative allylation of nitriles.

Project description:Palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative alpha-allylation of nitriles readily occurs with use of Pd(2)(dba)(3) and rac-BINAP. This catalyst mixture also allows the highly regiospecific alpha-allylation of nitriles in the presence of much more acidic alpha-protons. Thus, the reported method provides access to compounds that are not readily available via base-mediated allylation chemistries. Lastly, mechanistic investigations indicate that there is a competition between C- and N-allylation of an intermediate nitrile-stabilized anion and that N-allylation is followed by a rapid [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement.

Stereospecific decarboxylative allylation of sulfones.

Project description:Allyl sulfonylacetic esters undergo highly stereospecific, palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylation. The reaction allows the stereospecific formation of tertiary homoallylic sulfones in high yield. In contrast to related reactions that proceed at -100 degrees C and require highly basic preformed organometallics, the decarboxylative coupling described herein occurs under mild nonbasic conditions and requires no stoichiometric additives. Allylation of the intermediate alpha-sulfonyl anion is more rapid than racemization, leading to a highly enantiospecific process. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the barrier for racemization is 9.9 kcal/mol, so the barrier for allylation must be <9.9 kcal/mol.

Mild decarboxylative allylation of coumarins.

Project description:Allyl esters of 3-carboxylcoumarins undergo facile decarboxylative coupling at just 25-50 degrees C. This represents the first extension of decarboxylative C-C bond-forming reactions to the coupling of aromatics with sp(3)-hybridized electrophiles. Finally, the same concept can be applied to the sp(2)-sp(3) couplings of pyrones and flavones. Thus, a variety of biologically important heteroaromatics can be readily functionalized without the need for strong bases or stoichiometric organometallics that are typically required for more standard cross-coupling reactions.

Decarboxylative allylation using sulfones as surrogates of alkanes.

Project description:Alpha-sulfonyl functional groups are traceless activating groups that facilitate catalytic decarboxylative allylations in high yield yet can be cleaved to allow the synthesis of simple allylated alkanes. Substrate studies suggest that decarboxylation to form an alpha-sulfonyl anion is rate-limiting. Furthermore, the anion is formed regiospecifically under formally neutral conditions.

Ligand-controlled regiodivergent palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylation reaction to access ?,?-difluoroketones.

Project description:?,?-Difluoroketones possess unique physicochemical properties that are useful for developing therapeutics and probes for chemical biology. To access the ?-allyl-?,?-difluoroketone substructure, complementary palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylation reactions were developed to provide linear and branched ?-allyl-?,?-difluoroketones. For these orthogonal processes, the fluorination pattern of the substrate enabled the ligands to dictate the regioselectivity of the transformations.

Decarboxylative allylation of amino alkanoic acids and esters via dual catalysis.

Project description:A combination of photoredox and palladium catalysis has been employed to facilitate the room temperature decarboxylative allylation of recalcitrant ?-amino and phenylacetic allyl esters. This operationally simple process produces CO2 as the only byproduct and provides direct access to allylated alkanes. After photochemical oxidation, the carboxylate undergoes radical decarboxylation to site-specifically generate radical intermediates which undergo allylation. A radical dual catalysis mechanism is proposed. Free phenylacetic acids were also allylated utilizing similar reactions conditions.

Palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylation and benzylation of N-alloc and N-Cbz indoles.

Project description:A set of general methods for the palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative C3-allylation and C3-benzylation of indoles, starting from the corresponding N-alloc and N-Cbz indoles, respectively, is reported. This chemistry provides ready access to a wide range of functionalized indolenines in good to excellent yields. A tandem process, wherein the palladium catalyzed allylation chemistry is coupled with a Mizoroki-Heck reaction, offers a simple route to cinnamylated products.

Mechanistic Studies of the TRIP-Catalyzed Allylation with Organozinc Reagents.

Project description:3,3-Bis(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)-1,1-binaphthyl-2,2-diyl hydrogenphosphate (TRIP) catalyzes the asymmetric allylation of aldehydes with organozinc compounds, leading to highly valuable structural motifs, like precursors to lignan natural products. Our previously reported mechanistic proposal relies on two reaction intermediates and requires further investigation to really understand the mode of action and the origins of stereoselectivity. Detailed ab initio calculations, supported by experimental data, render a substantially different mode of action to the allyl boronate congener. Instead of a Brønsted acid-based catalytic activation, the chiral phosphate acts as a counterion for the Lewis acidic zinc ion, which provides the activation of the aldehyde.

Bi-mediated allylation of aldehydes in [bmim][Br]: a mechanistic investigation.

Project description:The inexpensive room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL), [bmim][Br] has been found to be a superior medium for the Bi-mediated Barbier-type allylation of aldehydes compared to other conventional solvents. It plays the dual role of a solvent and a metal activator enabling higher yields of the products in a shorter reaction time using stoichiometric/near-stoichiometric amounts of reagents. Plausibly, [bmim][Br] activates Bi metal by a charge transfer mechanism. The 1H VT-NMR studies suggested that both the allylating species, allylbismuth dibromide and diallylbismuth bromide, are generated in situ.
