Ruthenium-catalyzed cascade C-H functionalization of phenylacetophenones.

ABSTRACT: Three orthogonal cascade CH functionalization processes are described, based on ruthenium-catalyzed CH alkenylation. 1-Indanones, indeno indenes, and indeno furanones were accessed through cascade pathways by using arylacetophenones as substrates under conditions of catalytic [{Ru(p-cymene)Cl2 }2 ] and stoichiometric Cu(OAc)2 . Each transformation uses CH functionalization methods to form CC bonds sequentially, with the indeno furanone synthesis featuring a CO bond formation as the terminating step. This work demonstrates the power of ruthenium-catalyzed alkenylation as a platform reaction to develop more complex transformations, with multiple CH functionalization steps taking place in a single operation to access novel carbocyclic structures.

Cascade reactions during coronafacic acid biosynthesis: elongation, cyclization, and functionalization during Cfa7-catalyzed condensation.

Project description:Herein, the biogenesis of the hydrindane ring system within coronafacic acid (CFA) has been investigated. These studies reveal that in addition to the canonical polyketide chain elongation and functionalization encoded by type I polyketide synthase (PKSs), cascade reactions can take place during assembly line-like biosynthesis. Indeed, upon Cfa7-catalyzed Claisen condensation between enzyme-bound malonate and an N-acetylcysteamine (SNAC) thioester, latent reactivity within the elongated enzyme-bound intermediate is unveiled. This reactivity translates into an intramolecular cyclization, which can proceed in a facile manner as observed by the enzyme-independent cyclization of a linear beta-ketothioester intermediate.

Ruthenium-catalyzed cascade C-H activation/annulation of <i>N</i>-alkoxybenzamides: reaction development and mechanistic insight.

Project description:A highly selective ruthenium-catalyzed C-H activation/annulation of alkyne-tethered N-alkoxybenzamides has been developed. In this reaction, diverse products from inverse annulation can be obtained in moderate to good yields with high functional group compatibility. Insightful experimental and theoretical studies indicate that the reaction to the inverse annulation follows the Ru(ii)-Ru(iv)-Ru(ii) pathway involving N-O bond cleavage prior to alkyne insertion. This is highly different compared to the conventional mechanism of transition metal-catalyzed C-H activation/annulation with alkynes, involving alkyne insertion prior to N-O bond cleavage. Via this pathway, the in situ generated acetic acid from the N-H/C-H activation step facilitates the N-O bond cleavage to give the Ru-nitrene species. Besides the conventional mechanism forming the products via standard annulation, an alternative and novel Ru(ii)-Ru(iv)-Ru(ii) mechanism featuring N-O cleavage preceding alkyne insertion has been proposed, affording a new understanding of transition metal-catalyzed C-H activation/annulation.

Visible-Light-Controlled Ruthenium-Catalyzed Olefin Metathesis.

Project description:Olefin metathesis is now one of the most efficient ways to create new carbon-carbon bonds. While most efforts focused on the development of ever-more efficient catalysts, a particular attention has recently been devoted to developing latent metathesis catalysts, inactive species that need an external stimulus to become active. This furnishes an increased control over the reaction which is crucial for applications in materials science. Here, we report our work on the development of a new system to achieve visible-light-controlled metathesis by merging olefin metathesis and photoredox catalysis. The combination of a ruthenium metathesis catalyst bearing two N-heterocyclic carbenes with an oxidizing pyrylium photocatalyst affords excellent temporal and spatial resolution using only visible light as stimulus. Applications of this system in synthesis, as well as in polymer patterning and photolithography with spatially resolved ring-opening metathesis polymerization, are described.

Ruthenium-Catalyzed Redox Isomerizations inside Living Cells.

Project description:Tailored ruthenium(IV) complexes can catalyze the isomerization of allylic alcohols into saturated carbonyl derivatives under physiologically relevant conditions, and even inside living mammalian cells. The reaction, which involves ruthenium-hydride intermediates, is bioorthogonal and biocompatible, and can be used for the "in cellulo" generation of fluorescent and bioactive probes. Overall, our research reveals a novel metal-based tool for cellular intervention, and comes to further demonstrate the compatibility of organometallic mechanisms with the complex environment of cells.

Ruthenium-catalyzed C-H activation of thioxanthones.

Project description:Thioxanthones - being readily available in one step from thiosalicylic acid and arenes - were used in ruthenium-catalyzed C-H-activation reaction to produce 1-mono- or 1,8-disubstituted thioxanthones in good to excellent yields. Scope and limitation of this reaction are presented.

Ruthenium-Catalyzed meta-Selective C-H Bromination.

Project description:The first example of a transition-metal-catalyzed, meta-selective C-H bromination procedure is reported. In the presence of catalytic [{Ru(p-cymene)Cl2 }2 ], tetrabutylammonium tribromide can be used to functionalize the meta C-H bond of 2-phenylpyridine derivatives, thus affording difficult to access products which are highly predisposed to further derivatization. We demonstrate this utility with one-pot bromination/arylation and bromination/alkenylation procedures to deliver meta-arylated and meta-alkenylated products, respectively, in a single step.

BQ can now be directly functionalized with aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, and cycloalkene groups and, moreover, the reaction is conducted in environmentally benign water or acetone as solvents.

Myoglobin-Catalyzed C-H Functionalization of Unprotected Indoles.

Project description:Functionalized indoles are recurrent motifs in bioactive natural products and pharmaceuticals. While transition metal-catalyzed carbene transfer has provided an attractive route to afford C3-functionalized indoles, these protocols are viable only in the presence of N-protected indoles, owing to competition from the more facile N-H insertion reaction. Herein, a biocatalytic strategy for enabling the direct C-H functionalization of unprotected indoles is reported. Engineered variants of myoglobin provide efficient biocatalysts for this reaction, which has no precedents in the biological world, enabling the transformation of a broad range of indoles in the presence of ethyl α-diazoacetate to give the corresponding C3-functionalized derivatives in high conversion yields and excellent chemoselectivity. This strategy could be exploited to develop a concise chemoenzymatic route to afford the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug indomethacin.

Gold-Catalyzed C-H Functionalization with Aryl Germanes.

Project description:The development of orthogonal Csp2 -Csp2 coupling regimes to the omnipresent Pd-catalysis class would enable an additional dimension of modularity in the construction of densely functionalized biaryl motifs. In this context, the identification of potent functional groups for selective transformations is in high demand. Although organogermanium compounds are generally believed to be of low reactivity in homogenous catalysis, this report discloses the highly efficient and orthogonal reactivity of aryl germanes with arenes under gold catalysis. The method is characterized by mildness, the employment of an air- and moisture-stable gold catalyst, and robustness. Our mechanistic studies show that aryl germanes are highly reactive with Au(I) and Au(III). Our computational data suggest that the origin of this reactivity primarily lies in the relatively low bond dissociation energy and as such low distortion energy to reach the key bond activating transition state.
