Allylic functionalization of unactivated olefins with Grignard reagents.

ABSTRACT: New advances in the functionalization of unactivated olefins with carbon nucleophiles have provided more efficient and practical approaches to convert inexpensive starting materials into valuable products. Recent examples have been reported with stabilized carbon nucleophiles, tethered carbon nucleophiles, diazoesters, and trifluoromethane donors. A general method for functionalizing olefins with aromatic, aliphatic, and vinyl Grignard reagents was developed. In a one-pot process, olefins are oxidized by a commercially available reagent to allylic electrophiles, which undergo selective copper-catalyzed allylic alkylation with Grignard reagents. Products are formed in high yield and with high regioselectivity. This was utilized to synthesize a series of skipped dienes, a class of compounds that are prevalent in natural products and are difficult to synthesize by known allylic alkylation methods.

Fe-catalyzed three-component dicarbofunctionalization of unactivated alkenes with alkyl halides and Grignard reagents.

Project description:A highly chemoselective iron-catalyzed three-component dicarbofunctionalization of unactivated olefins with alkyl halides (iodides and bromides) and sp2-hybridized Grignard reagents is reported. The reaction operates under fast turnover frequency and tolerates a diverse range of sp2-hybridized nucleophiles (electron-rich and electron-deficient (hetero)aryl and alkenyl Grignard reagents), alkyl halides (tertiary alkyl iodides/bromides and perfluorinated bromides), and unactivated olefins bearing diverse functional groups including tethered alkenes, ethers, protected alcohols, aldehydes, and amines to yield the desired 1,2-alkylarylated products with high regiocontrol. Further, we demonstrate that this protocol is amenable for the synthesis of new (hetero)carbocycles including tetrahydrofurans and pyrrolidines via a three-component radical cascade cyclization/arylation that forges three new C-C bonds.

Ir-Catalyzed Intermolecular Branch-Selective Allylic C-H Amidation of Unactivated Terminal Olefins.

Project description:An efficient method for intermolecular branch-selective allylic C-H amidation has been accomplished via Ir(III) catalysis. The reaction proceeds through initial allylic C-H activation, supported by the isolation and crystallographic characterization of an allyl-Ir(III) intermediate, followed by a subsequent oxidative amidation with readily available dioxazolones as nitrenoid precursors. A diverse range of amides are successfully installed at the branched position of terminal alkenes in good yields and regioselectivities. Importantly, the reaction allows the use of amide-derived nitrenoid precursors avoiding problematic Curtius-type rearrangements.

Directed copper-catalyzed C-H functionalization of unactivated olefins with azodicarbonamide compounds.

Project description:The copper-catalyzed strategy employing the 8-aminoquinoline directing group has proven to be a highly advantageous approach for functionalizing C-H bonds. In this study, we present the successful application of this strategy to accomplish Heck-type coupling reactions and construct β-lactam skeletons, simultaneously introducing a unique cyano functional group. The resulting Heck-type coupling products demonstrate good stereo- and region-selectivity. Initial mechanistic investigations indicate that the reaction proceeds via a radical coupling mechanism, exhibiting a wide substrate scope and delivering good yields.

Catalytic enantioselective allylic amination of unactivated terminal olefins via an ene reaction/[2,3]-rearrangement.

Project description:The enantioselective allylic amination of unactivated terminal olefins represents a direct and attractive strategy for the synthesis of enantioenriched amines. We have developed the first use of a nitrogen-containing reagent and a chiral palladium catalyst to convert unfunctionalized olefins into enantioenriched allylic amines via an ene reaction/[2,3]-rearrangement.

Catalyst-controlled C-O versus C-N allylic functionalization of terminal olefins.

Project description:The divergent synthesis of syn-1,2-aminoalcohol or syn-1,2-diamine precursors from a common terminal olefin has been accomplished using a combination of palladium(II) catalysis with Lewis acid cocatalysis. Palladium(II)/bis-sulfoxide catalysis with a silver triflate cocatalyst leads for the first time to anti-2-aminooxazolines (C-O) in good to excellent yields. Simple removal of the bis-sulfoxide ligand from this reaction results in a complete switch in reactivity to afford anti-imidazolidinone products (C-N) in good yields and excellent diastereoselectivities. Mechanistic studies suggest the divergent C-O versus C-N reactivity from a common ambident nucleophile arises due to a switch in mechanism from allylic C-H cleavage/functionalization to olefin isomerization/oxidative amination.

Iron-catalyzed cross-coupling of unactivated secondary alkyl thio ethers and sulfones with aryl Grignard reagents.

Project description:The first systematic investigation of unactivated aliphatic sulfur compounds as electrophiles in transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling are described. Initial studies focused on discerning the structural and electronic features of the organosulfur substrate that enable the challenging oxidative addition to the C(sp(3))-S bond. Through extensive optimization efforts, an Fe(acac)3-catalyzed cross-coupling of unactivated alkyl aryl thio ethers with aryl Grignard reagents was realized in which a nitrogen "directing group" on the S-aryl moiety of the thio ether served a critical role in facilitating the oxidative addition step. In addition, alkyl phenyl sulfones were found to be effective electrophiles in the Fe(acac)3-catalyzed cross-coupling with aryl Grignard reagents. For the latter class of electrophile, a thorough assessment of the various reaction parameters revealed a dramatic enhancement in reaction efficiency with an excess of TMEDA (8.0 equiv). The optimized reaction protocol was used to evaluate the scope of the method with respect to both the organomagnesium nucleophile and sulfone electrophile.

Introducing unactivated acyclic internal aliphatic olefins into a cobalt catalyzed allylic selective dehydrogenative Heck reaction.

Project description:Unactivated acyclic internal aliphatic olefins are often found to be unreactive in conventional alkenylation reactions. To address this problem, a cobalt catalyzed allylic selective dehydrogenative Heck reaction with internal aliphatic olefins has been developed. The method is highly regio- and stereoselective, the conditions are mild and a wide variety of functional groups can be tolerated. Remarkably, both internal and terminal aliphatic olefins can be employed, thereby significantly expanding the scope of alkenylation chemistry with aliphatic olefins.

Cross-Coupling Reaction of Allylic Ethers with Aryl Grignard Reagents Catalyzed by a Nickel Pincer Complex.

Project description:A cross-coupling reaction of allylic aryl ethers with arylmagnesium reagents was investigated using ?-aminoketonato- and ?-diketiminato-based pincer-type nickel(II) complexes as catalysts. An ?-aminoketonato nickel(II) complex bearing a diphenylphosphino group as a third donor effectively catalyzed the reaction to afford the target cross-coupled products, allylbenzene derivatives, in high yield. The regioselective reaction of a variety of substituted cinnamyl ethers proceeded to give the corresponding linear products. In contrast, ?- and ?-alkyl substituted allylic ethers afforded a mixture of the linear and branched products. These results indicated that the coupling reaction proceeded via a ?-allyl nickel intermediate.

Hydromethylation of Unactivated Olefins.

Project description:A solution to the classic unsolved problem of olefin hydromethylation is presented. This highly chemoselective method can tolerate labile and reactive chemical functionalities and uses a simple set of reagents. An array of olefins, including mono-, di-, and trisubstituted olefins, are all smoothly hydromethylated. This mild protocol can be used to simplify the synthesis of a specific target or to directly "edit" complex natural products and other advanced materials. The method is also amenable to the simple installation of radioactive and stable labeled methyl groups.

Catalytic Hydrodifluoroalkylation of Unactivated Olefins.

Project description:Herein, we report a modular catalytic technique that streamlines the preparation of gem-difluoroalkanes from unactivated sp3 precursors. The method is characterized by its simplicity, generality, and site selectivity, including the functionalization of advanced intermediates and olefin feedstocks. Our approach is enabled by a cooperative interplay of halogen- and hydrogen-atom transfer, thus offering a new entry point to difluorinated alkyl bioisosteres of interest in drug discovery.
