A mechanistic investigation of the photoinduced, copper-mediated cross-coupling of an aryl thiol with an aryl halide.

ABSTRACT: Photoinduced, copper-catalyzed cross-coupling can offer a complementary approach to thermal (non-photoinduced) methods for generating C-X (X = C, N, O, S, etc.) bonds. In this report, we describe the first detailed mechanistic investigation of one of the processes that we have developed, specifically, the (stoichiometric) coupling of a copper-thiolate with an aryl iodide. In particular, we focus on the chemistry of a discrete [Cu^I(SAr)₂]^- complex (Ar = 2,6-dimethylphenyl), applying a range of techniques, including ESI-MS, cyclic voltammetry, transient luminescence spectroscopy, optical spectroscopy, DFT calculations, Stern-Volmer analysis, EPR spectroscopy, actinometry, and reactivity studies. The available data are consistent with the viability of a pathway in which photoexcited [Cu^I(SAr)₂]^-* serves as an electron donor to an aryl iodide to afford an aryl radical, which then reacts in cage with the newly generated copper(II)-thiolate to furnish the cross-coupling product in a non-chain process.

Photoinduced, Copper-Catalyzed Alkylation of Amines: A Mechanistic Study of the Cross-Coupling of Carbazole with Alkyl Bromides.

Project description:We have recently reported that a variety of couplings of nitrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and carbon nucleophiles with organic halides can be achieved under mild conditions (-40 to 30 °C) through the use of light and a copper catalyst. Insight into the various mechanisms by which these reactions proceed may enhance our understanding of chemical reactivity and facilitate the development of new methods. In this report, we apply an array of tools (EPR, NMR, transient absorption, and UV-vis spectroscopy; ESI-MS; X-ray crystallography; DFT calculations; reactivity, stereochemical, and product studies) to investigate the photoinduced, copper-catalyzed coupling of carbazole with alkyl bromides. Our observations are consistent with pathways wherein both an excited state of the copper(I) carbazolide complex ([CuI(carb)2]-) and an excited state of the nucleophile (Li(carb)) can serve as photoreductants of the alkyl bromide. The catalytically dominant pathway proceeds from the excited state of Li(carb), generating a carbazyl radical and an alkyl radical. The cross-coupling of these radicals is catalyzed by copper via an out-of-cage mechanism in which [CuI(carb)2]- and [CuII(carb)3]- (carb = carbazolide), both of which have been identified under coupling conditions, are key intermediates, and [CuII(carb)3]- serves as the persistent radical that is responsible for predominant cross-coupling. This study underscores the versatility of copper(II) complexes in engaging with radical intermediates that are generated by disparate pathways, en route to targeted bond constructions.

Mechanistic Facets of the Competition between Cross-Coupling and Homocoupling in Supporting Ligand-Free Iron-Mediated Aryl-Aryl Bond Formations.

Project description:In the context of cross-coupling chemistry, the competition between the cross-coupling path itself and the oxidative homocoupling of the nucleophile is a classic issue. In that case, the electrophilic partner acts as a sacrificial oxidant. We investigate in this report the factors governing the cross- versus homocoupling distribution using aryl nucleophiles ArMgBr and (hetero)aryl electrophiles Ar'Cl in the presence of an iron catalyst. When electron-deficient electrophiles are used, a key transient heteroleptic [Ar2Ar'FeII]- complex is formed. DFT calculations show that an asynchronous two-electron reductive elimination follows, which governs the selective evolution of the system toward either a cross- or homocoupling product. Proficiency of the cross-coupling reductive elimination strongly depends on both π-accepting and σ-donating effects of the FeII-ligated Ar' ring. The reactivity trends discussed in this article rely on two-electron elementary steps, which are in contrast with the usually described tendencies in iron-mediated oxidative homocouplings which involve single-electron transfers. The results are probed by paramagnetic 1H NMR spectroscopy, experimental kinetics data, and DFT calculations.

Tricomponent Decarboxysulfonylative Cross-Coupling Facilitates Direct Construction of Aryl Sulfones and Reveals a Mechanistic Dualism in the Acridine/Copper Photocatalytic System.

Project description:Dual catalytic systems involving photocatalytic activation and transition metal-catalyzed steps have enabled innovative approaches to the construction of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. However, the mechanistic complexity of the dual catalytic processes presents multiple challenges for understanding of the roles of divergent catalytic species that can impede the development of future synthetic methods. Here, we report a dual catalytic process that enables the previously inaccessible, broad-scope, direct conversion of carboxylic acids to aromatic sulfones-centrally important carbonyl group bioisosteric replacements and synthetic intermediates-by a tricomponent decarboxysulfonylative cross-coupling with aryl halides. Detailed mechanistic and computational studies revealed the roles of the copper catalyst, base, and halide anions in channeling the acridine/copper system via a distinct dual catalytic manifold. In contrast to the halide-free decarboxylative conjugate addition that involves cooperative dual catalysis via low-valent copper species, the halide counteranions divert the decarboxysulfonylative cross-coupling with aryl halides through a two-phase, orthogonal relay catalytic manifold, comprising a kinetically coupled (via antithetical inhibitory and activating roles of the base in the two catalytic cycles), mechanistically discrete sequence of a photoinduced, acridine-catalyzed decarboxylative process and a thermal copper-catalyzed arylative coupling. The study underscores the importance of non-innocent roles of counteranions and key redox steps at the interface of catalytic cycles for enabling previously inaccessible dual catalytic transformations.

Mechanistic Studies of the Palladium-Catalyzed Desulfinative Cross-Coupling of Aryl Bromides and (Hetero)Aryl Sulfinate Salts.

Project description:Pyridine and related heterocyclic sulfinates have recently emerged as effective nucleophilic coupling partners in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with (hetero)aryl halides. These sulfinate reagents are straightforward to prepare, stable to storage and coupling reaction conditions, and deliver efficient reactions, thus offering many advantages, compared to the corresponding boron-derived reagents. Despite the success of these reactions, there are only scant details of the reaction mechanism. In this study, we use structural and kinetic analysis to investigate the mechanism of these important coupling reactions in detail. We compare a pyridine-2-sulfinate with a carbocyclic sulfinate and establish different catalyst resting states, and turnover limiting steps, for the two classes of reagent. For the carbocyclic sulfinate, the aryl bromide oxidative addition complex is the resting state intermediate, and transmetalation is turnover-limiting. In contrast, for the pyridine sulfinate, a chelated Pd(II) sulfinate complex formed post-transmetalation is the resting-state intermediate, and loss of SO2 from this complex is turnover-limiting. We also investigated the role of the basic additive potassium carbonate, the use of which is crucial for efficient reactions, and deduced a dual function in which carbonate is responsible for the removal of free sulfur dioxide from the reaction medium, and the potassium cation plays a role in accelerating transmetalation. In addition, we show that sulfinate homocoupling is responsible for converting Pd(OAc)2 to a catalytically active Pd(0) complex. Together, these studies shed light on the challenges that must be overcome to deliver improved, lower temperature versions of these synthetically important processes.

A Dual Palladium and Copper Hydride Catalyzed Approach for Alkyl-Aryl Cross-Coupling of Aryl Halides and Olefins.

Project description:We report an efficient means of sp2 -sp3 cross coupling for a variety of terminal monosubstituted olefins with aryl electrophiles using Pd and CuH catalysis. In addition to its applicability to a range of aryl bromide substrates, this process was also suitable for electron-deficient aryl chlorides, furnishing higher yields than the corresponding aryl bromides in these cases. The optimized protocol does not require the use of a glovebox and employs air-stable Cu and Pd complexes as precatalysts. A reaction on 10 mmol scale further highlighted the practical utility of this protocol. Employing a similar protocol, a series of cyclic alkenes were also examined. Cyclopentene was shown to undergo efficient coupling under these conditions. Lastly, deuterium-labeling studies indicate that deuterium scrambling does not take place in this sp2 -sp3 cross coupling, implying that β-hydride elimination is not a significant process in this transformation.

Iron-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Bis-(aryl)manganese Nucleophiles with Alkenyl Halides: Optimization and Mechanistic Investigations.

Project description:Various substituted bis-(aryl)manganese species were prepared from aryl bromides by one-pot insertion of magnesium turnings in the presence of LiCl and in situ trans-metalation with MnCl2 in THF at -5 °C within 2 h. These bis-(aryl)manganese reagents undergo smooth iron-catalyzed cross-couplings using 10 mol% Fe(acac)3 with various functionalized alkenyl iodides and bromides in 1 h at 25 °C. The aryl-alkenyl cross-coupling reaction mechanism was thoroughly investigated through paramagnetic 1H-NMR, which identified the key role of tris-coordinated ate-iron(II) species in the catalytic process.

Long-Lived Charge-Transfer States of Nickel(II) Aryl Halide Complexes Facilitate Bimolecular Photoinduced Electron Transfer.

Project description:Here we investigate the photophysics and photochemistry of Ni(II) aryl halide complexes common to cross-coupling and Ni/photoredox reactions. Computational and ultrafast spectroscopic studies reveal that these complexes feature long-lived 3MLCT excited states, implicating Ni as an underexplored alternative to precious metal photocatalysts. Moreover, we show that 3MLCT Ni(II) engages in bimolecular electron transfer with ground-state Ni(II), which enables access to Ni(III) in the absence of external oxidants or photoredox catalysts. As such, it is possible to facilitate Ni-catalyzed C-O bond formation solely by visible light irradiation, thus representing an alternative strategy for catalyst activation in Ni cross-coupling reactions.
