Mechanistic investigations and substrate scope evaluation of ruthenium-catalyzed direct sp3 arylation of benzylic positions directed by 3-substituted pyridines.

ABSTRACT: A highly efficient direct arylation process of benzylic amines with arylboronates was developed that employs Ru catalysis. The arylation takes place with greatest efficiency at the benzylic sp(3) carbon. If the distance to the activating aryl ring is increased, arylation is still possible but the yield drops significantly. Efficiency of the CH activation was found to be significantly increased by use of 3-substituted pyridines as directing groups, which can be removed after the transformation in high yield. Calculation of the energy profile of different rotamers of the substrate revealed that presence of a substituent in the 3-position favors a conformation with the CH(2) group adopting a position in closer proximity to the directing group and facilitating C-H insertion. This operationally simple reaction can be carried out in argon atmosphere as well as in air and under neutral reaction conditions, displaying a remarkable functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies were carried out and critically compared to mechanistic reports of related transformations.

Photochemical Nickel-Catalyzed C-H Arylation: Synthetic Scope and Mechanistic Investigations.

Project description:An iridium photocatalyst and visible light facilitate a room temperature, nickel-catalyzed coupling of (hetero)aryl bromides with activated α-heterosubstituted or benzylic C(sp3)-H bonds. Mechanistic investigations on this unprecedented transformation have uncovered the possibility of an unexpected mechanism hypothesized to involve a Ni-Br homolysis event from an excited-state nickel complex. The resultant bromine radical is thought to abstract weak C(sp3)-H bonds to generate reactive alkyl radicals that can be engaged in Ni-catalyzed arylation. Evidence suggests that the iridium photocatalyst facilitates nickel excitation and bromine radical generation via triplet-triplet energy transfer.

Palladium-catalyzed regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective benzylic allylation of 2-substituted pyridines.

Project description:We report a new method for the highly regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation of 2-substituted pyridines that allows for the formation of homoallylic stereocenters containing alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, and nitrogen substituents. When the reaction is conducted with asymmetric acyclic electrophiles, both linear and branched products may be obtained exclusively by selecting the appropriate regioisomeric starting material and ligand, an example of the "memory effect." Deuterium-labeling studies reveal that though no such phenomenon occurs with racemic cyclic electrophiles, the chiral ligand employed reacts kinetically faster with the enantiomer of the substrate for which it is "matched" and yet eventually converts all "mismatched" substrate to product.

Ruthenium catalyzed decarbonylative arylation at sp3 carbon centers in pyrrolidine and piperidine heterocycles.

Project description:This paper describes the development of a new catalytic transformation, the ruthenium-catalyzed decarbonylative arylation of cyclic 2-amino esters, which replaces the ester group with an aryl ring at the sp3 carbon center. For example, proline ester amidine 1 is converted to 2-arylpyrrolidine 3 in the presence of arylboronic acids or esters as arene donors and Ru(3)(CO)(12) as the catalyst. This process provides a rapid access to a variety of 2-arylpyrrolidines and piperidines from commercially available proline, hydroxyproline, and pipecolinate esters. The examination of the substrate scope also showed that many arene boronic acids and boronate esters serve as coupling partners. The high chemoselectivity of this process was demonstrated and ascribed to the significant rate difference between the decarbonylative arylation and the C-H arylation. The decarbonylative arylation complements the C-H arylation, since the latter process lacks control over the extent of functionalization, affording a mixture of mono- and bis-arylpyrrolidines. When applied in tandem, these two processes provide 2,5-diarylpyrrolidines in two steps from the corresponding proline esters. It was also demonstrated that the required amidine or iminocarbamate directing group fulfills two major functions: first, it is essential for the ester activation step, which occurs via the coordination-assisted metal insertion into the acyl C-O bond; second, it facilitates the decarbonylation, via the stabilization of a metallacycle intermediate, assuring the formation of the 2-arylated products instead of the corresponding ketones observed before by others.

Palladium-catalyzed ?-arylation of benzylic phosphonates.

Project description:A new synthetic route to access diarylmethyl phosphonates is presented. The transformation enables the introduction of aromatic groups on benzylic phosphonates via a deprotonative cross-coupling process (DCCP). The Pd(OAc)2/CataCXium A-based catalyst afforded a reaction between benzyl diisopropyl phosphonate derivatives and aryl bromides in good to excellent isolated yields (64-92%).

Aryl Bromides and Aryl Chlorides for the Direct Arylation of Benzylic Amines Mediated by Ruthenium(II).

Project description:The ruthenium(II)-catalyzed sp3 C-H bond arylation of benzylic amines with aryl halides is reported. In the present method, aryl iodides and, more importantly, also the cheaper aryl bromides and aryl chlorides can be applied as aryl sources. Additionally, the method does not require elaborate manipulations in a glove box and can be carried out in simple screw cap vials. Potassium pivalate proved to be beneficial for the transformation with aryl bromides or iodides as aryl source, but was not required for aryl chlorides. In the latter case, the addition of PPh3 led to high conversion. 3-Methyl and 3-phenyl pyridine were established as directing groups, and the substituent in the 3-position represents a key structural feature for high conversion. The directing group can be cleaved after the transformation, which allows access to diarylmethylamines. Mechanistic studies were carried out and critically compared to mechanistic reports of related transformations.

Mechanistic Investigations of Ruthenium Catalyzed Dehydrogenative Thioester Synthesis and Thioester Hydrogenation.

Project description:We have recently reported the previously unknown synthesis of thioesters by coupling thiols and alcohols (or aldehydes) with liberation of H2, as well as the reverse hydrogenation of thioesters, catalyzed by a well-defined ruthenium acridine-9H based pincer complex. These reactions are highly selective and are not deactivated by the strongly coordinating thiols. Herein, the mechanism of this reversible transformation is investigated in detail by a combined experimental and computational (DFT) approach. We elucidate the likely pathway of the reactions, and demonstrate experimentally how hydrogen gas pressure governs selectivity toward hydrogenation or dehydrogenation. With respect to the dehydrogenative process, we discuss a competing mechanism for ester formation, which despite being thermodynamically preferable, it is kinetically inhibited due to the relatively high acidity of thiol compared to alcohol and, accordingly, the substantial difference in the relative stabilities of a ruthenium thiolate intermediate as opposed to a ruthenium alkoxide intermediate. Accordingly, various additional reaction pathways were considered and are discussed herein, including the dehydrogenative coupling of alcohol to ester and the Tischenko reaction coupling aldehyde to ester. This study should inform future green, (de)hydrogenative catalysis with thiols and other transformations catalyzed by related ruthenium pincer complexes.

Scope and limitations of auxiliary-assisted, palladium-catalyzed arylation and alkylation of sp2 and sp3 C-H bonds.

Project description:The scope of palladium-catalyzed, auxiliary-assisted direct arylation and alkylation of sp(2) and sp(3) C-H bonds of amine and carboxylic acid derivatives has been investigated. The method employs a palladium acetate catalyst, substrate, aryl, alkyl, benzyl, or allyl halide, and inorganic base in tert-amyl alcohol or water solvent at 100-140 °C. Aryl and alkyl iodides as well as benzyl and allyl bromides are competent reagents in this transformation. The picolinic acid auxiliary is used for amine ?-functionalization, and the 8-aminoquinoline auxiliary is used for carboxylic acid ?-functionalization. Some optimization of base, additives, and solvent is required for achieving best results.

Palladium-Catalyzed Intra- and Intermolecular C-H Arylation Using Mesylates: Synthetic Scope and Mechanistic Studies.

Project description:This paper describes the development of Pd-catalyzed inter- and intramolecular direct arylation using mesylates. Furthermore, a sequential mesylation/arylation protocol using phenols as substrates is described. These transformations are general with respect to the electronics of the C-H substrates and allow for the synthesis of diverse heterocyclic motifs in good yields. Both arenes and heteroarenes efficiently participate in these reactions. Preliminary mechanistic studies are presented for both inter- and intramolecular arylations.

Scope and mechanistic investigations of Pd-catalyzed coupling/cyclizations and cycloisomerizations of allenyl malonates.

Project description:Pd-catalyzed transformations of allenyl malonates provide convenient access to functionalized carbocycles, but the influence of the ligand, solvent, base, and reaction conditions on the mechanism, regioselectivity, and product outcome of the cyclization are not well-understood. Additionally, from the perspective of synthetic utility, access to either fully substituted or enantioenriched cyclopentane building blocks has not yet been achieved. This work describes how targeted changes to the reaction conditions enable predictable control over the mechanism of Pd-catalyzed allene cross-coupling/cyclization and cycloisomerization, irrespective of the allene substitution pattern. Both enantioenriched cyclopropanes and cyclopentenes can be obtained through axis-to-center chirality transfer from the allene precursor at room temperature, which is not possible using reported Pd-catalyzed methods that result in racemization of the allene. Finally, the ability to divert the reactivity of the allenyl malonate from cross-coupling/cyclization to cycloisomerization by a simple switch of the ligand on Pd from a bidentate phosphine to an electron-poor triphenylphosphite is demonstrated.
