Nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of photoredox-generated radicals: uncovering a general manifold for stereoconvergence in nickel-catalyzed cross-couplings.

ABSTRACT: The cross-coupling of sp(3)-hybridized organoboron reagents via photoredox/nickel dual catalysis represents a new paradigm of reactivity for engaging alkylmetallic reagents in transition-metal-catalyzed processes. Reported here is an investigation into the mechanistic details of this important transformation using density functional theory. Calculations bring to light a new reaction pathway involving an alkylnickel(I) complex generated by addition of an alkyl radical to Ni(0) that is likely to operate simultaneously with the previously proposed mechanism. Analysis of the enantioselective variant of the transformation reveals an unexpected manifold for stereoinduction involving dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of a Ni(III) intermediate wherein the stereodetermining step is reductive elimination. Furthermore, calculations suggest that the DKR-based stereoinduction manifold may be responsible for stereoselectivity observed in numerous other stereoconvergent Ni-catalyzed cross-couplings and reductive couplings.

Merging Photoredox PCET with Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling: Cascade Amidoarylation of Unactivated Olefins.

Project description:The integration of amidyl radicals with cross-coupling chemistry opens new venues for reaction design. However, the lack of efficient methods for the generation of such radical species has prevented many such transformations from being brought to fruition. Herein, the amidoarylation of unactivated olefins by a cascade process from non-functionalized amides is reported by merging, for the first time, photoredox proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) with nickel catalysis. This new technology grants access to an array of complex molecules containing a privileged pyrrolidinone core from alkenyl amides and aryl- and heteroaryl bromides in the presence of a visible light photocatalyst and a nickel catalyst. Notably, the reaction is not restricted to amides - carbamates and ureas can also be used. Mechanistic studies, including hydrogen-bond affinity constants, cyclization rate measurements, quenching studies, and cyclic voltammetry were central to comprehend the subtleties contributing to the integration of the two catalytic cycles.

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.

On the Nature of C(sp<sup>3</sup>)-C(sp<sup>2</sup>) Bond Formation in Nickel-Catalyzed Tertiary Radical Cross-Couplings: A Case Study of Ni/Photoredox Catalytic Cross-Coupling of Alkyl Radicals and Aryl Halides.

Project description:The merger of photoredox and nickel catalysis has enabled the construction of quaternary centers. However, the mechanism, role of the ligand, and effect of the spin state for this transformation and related Ni-catalyzed cross-couplings involving tertiary alkyl radicals in combination with bipyridine and diketonate ligands remain unknown. Several mechanisms have been proposed, all invoking a key Ni(III) species prior to undergoing irreversible inner-sphere reductive elimination. In this work, we have used open-shell dispersion-corrected DFT calculations, quasi-classical dynamics calculations, and experiments to study in detail the mechanism of carbon-carbon bond formation in Ni bipyridine- and diketonate-based catalytic systems. These calculations revealed that access to high spin states (e.g., triplet spin state tetrahedral Ni(II) species) is critical for effective radical cross-coupling of tertiary alkyl radicals. Further, these calculations revealed a disparate mechanism for the C-C bond formation. Specifically, contrary to the neutral Ni-bipyridyl system, diketonate ligands lead directly to the corresponding tertiary radical cross-coupling products via an outer-sphere reductive elimination step via triplet spin state from the Ni(III) intermediates. Implications to related Ni-catalyzed radical cross-couplings and the design of new transformations are discussed.

Enantiospecific, nickel-catalyzed cross-couplings of allylic pivalates and arylboroxines.

Project description:We have developed an enantiospecific, nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of unsymmetric 1,3-disubstituted allylic pivalates with arylboroxines. The success of this reaction relies on the use of BnPPh2 as a supporting ligand for the nickel(0) catalyst and NaOMe as a base. This method shows excellent functional group tolerance and broad scope in both the allylic pivalate and arylboroxine, enabling the preparation of 1,3-diaryl allylic products in high yields with excellent levels of regioselectivity and stereochemical fidelity.

Project description:Chemical transformations based on cascade reactions have the potential to simplify the preparation of diverse and architecturally complex molecules dramatically. Herein, we disclose an unprecedented and efficient method for the cross-coupling of radical precursors, dienes, and electrophilic coupling partners via a photoredox- and nickel-enabled cascade cross-coupling process. The cascade reaction furnishes a diverse array of saturated carbo- and heterocyclic scaffolds, thus providing access to a quick gain in C-C bond saturation.

Photochemical Asymmetric Nickel-Catalyzed Acyl Cross-Coupling.

Project description:Photochemical enantioselective nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are difficult to implement. We report a visible-light-mediated strategy that successfully couples symmetrical anhydrides and 4-alkyl dihydropyridines (DHPs) to afford enantioenriched ?-substituted ketones under mild conditions. The chemistry does not require exogenous photocatalysts. It is triggered by the direct excitation of DHPs, which act as a radical source and as a reductant, facilitating the turnover of the chiral catalytic nickel complex.

Base-Free Photoredox/Nickel Dual-Catalytic Cross-Coupling of Ammonium Alkylsilicates.

Project description:Single-electron transmetalation is recognized as an enabling technology for the mild transfer of alkyl groups to transition metal catalysts in cross-coupling reactions. Hypercoordinate silicates represent a new and improved class of radical precursors because of their low oxidation potentials and the innocuous byproducts generated upon oxidation. Herein, we report the cross-coupling of secondary and primary ammonium alkylsilicates with (hetero)aryl bromides in good to excellent yields. The base-free conditions have exceptional protic group tolerance on both partners, permitting the cross-coupling of unprotected primary and secondary amines.

Nickel-catalyzed migratory alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling reaction.

Project description:The selective cross-coupling of activated electrophiles with unactivated ones has been regarded as a challenging task in cross-electrophile couplings. Herein we describe a migratory cross-coupling strategy, which can overcome this obstacle to access the desired cross-coupling products. Accordingly, a selective migratory cross-coupling of two alkyl electrophiles has been accomplished by nickel catalysis. Remarkably, this alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling reaction provides a platform to prepare 2°-2° carbon-carbon bonds from 1° and 2° carbon coupling partners. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that chain-walking occurs at both alkyl halides in this reaction, thus a catalytic cycle with the key step involving two alkylnickel(ii) species is proposed for this transformation.

Nickel-catalyzed amination of aryl carbamates and sequential site-selective cross-couplings.

Project description:We report the amination of aryl carbamates using nickel-catalysis. The methodology is broad in scope with respect to both coupling partners and delivers aminated products in synthetically useful yields. Computational studies provide the full catalytic cycle of this transformation, and suggest that reductive elimination is the rate-determining step. Given that carbamates are easy to prepare, robust, inert to Pd-catalysis, and useful for arene functionalization, these substrates are particularly attractive partners for use in synthesis. The sequential use of carbamate functionalization/site-selective cross-coupling processes highlights the utility of this methodology.
