Direct C(sp3)-H Cross Coupling Enabled by Catalytic Generation of Chlorine Radicals.

ABSTRACT: Here we report the development of a C(sp3)-H cross-coupling platform enabled by the catalytic generation of chlorine radicals by nickel and photoredox catalysis. Aryl chlorides serve as both cross-coupling partners and the chlorine radical source for the ?-oxy C(sp3)-H arylation of cyclic and acyclic ethers. Mechanistic studies suggest that photolysis of a Ni(III) aryl chloride intermediate, generated by photoredox-mediated single-electron oxidation, leads to elimination of a chlorine radical in what amounts to the sequential capture of two photons. Arylations of a benzylic C(sp3)-H bond of toluene and a completely unactivated C(sp3)-H bond of cyclohexane demonstrate the broad implications of this manifold for accomplishing numerous C(sp3)-H bond functionalizations under exceptionally mild conditions.

Here we report the development of a C(sp3)-H cross-coupling platform enabled by the catalytic generation of chlorine radicals by nickel and photoredox catalysis. Aryl chlorides serve as both cross-coupling partners and the chlorine radical source for the α-oxy C(sp3)-H arylation of cyclic and acyclic ethers. Mechanistic studies suggest that photolysis of a Ni(III) aryl chloride intermediate, generated by photoredox-mediated single-electron oxidation, leads to elimination of ...[more]

A cross-dehydrogenative C(sp3)-H heteroarylation via photo-induced catalytic chlorine radical generation.

Project description:Hydrogen atom abstraction (HAT) from C(sp3)-H bonds of naturally abundant alkanes for alkyl radical generation represents a promising yet underexplored strategy in the alkylation reaction designs since involving stoichiometric oxidants, excessive alkane loading, and limited scope are common drawbacks. Here we report a photo-induced and chemical oxidant-free cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) between alkanes and heteroarenes using catalytic chloride and cobalt catalyst. Couplings of strong C(sp3)-H bond-containing substrates and complex heteroarenes, have been achieved with satisfactory yields. This dual catalytic platform features the in situ engendered chlorine radical for alkyl radical generation and exploits the cobaloxime catalyst to enable the hydrogen evolution for catalytic turnover. The practical value of this protocol was demonstrated by the gram-scale synthesis of alkylated heteroarene with merely 3 equiv. alkane loading.

Benzylic C(sp3)-C(sp2) cross-coupling of indoles enabled by oxidative radical generation and nickel catalysis.

Project description:A mechanistically unique functionalization strategy for a benzylic C(sp3)-H bond has been developed based on the facile oxidation event of indole substrates. This novel pathway was initiated by efficient radical generation at the benzylic position of the substrate, with subsequent transition metal catalysis to complete the overall transformation. Ultimately, an aryl or an acyl group could be effectively delivered from an aryl (pseudo)halide or an acid anhydride coupling partner, respectively. The developed method utilizes mild conditions and exhibits a wide substrate scope for both substituted indoles and C(sp2)-based reaction counterparts. Mechanistic studies have shown that competitive hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) processes, which are frequently encountered in conventional methods, are not involved in the product formation process of the developed strategy.

A Chemoselective Polarity-Mismatched Photocatalytic C(sp3 )-C(sp2 ) Cross-Coupling Enabled by Synergistic Boron Activation.

Project description:We report the development of a C(sp3 )-C(sp2 ) coupling reaction using styrene boronic acids and redox-active esters under photoredox catalysis. The reaction proceeds through an unusual polarity-mismatched radical addition mechanism that is orthogonal to established processes. Synergistic activation of the radical precursor and organoboron are critical mechanistic events. Activation of an N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) ester by coordination to boron enables electron transfer, with decomposition leading to a nucleofuge rebound, activating the organoboron to radical addition. The unique mechanism enables chemoselective coupling of styrene boronic acids in the presence of other alkene radical acceptors. The scope and limitations of the reaction, and a detailed mechanistic investigation are presented.

On the Nature of C(sp3)-C(sp2) 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.

Direct catalytic cross-coupling of alkenyllithium compounds.

Project description:A catalytic method for the direct cross-coupling of alkenyllithium reagents with aryl and alkenyl halides is described. The use of a catalyst comprising Pd2(dba)3/XPhos allows for the stereoselective preparation of a wide variety of substituted alkenes in high yields under mild conditions. In addition (1-ethoxyvinyl)lithium can be efficiently converted into substituted vinyl ethers which, after hydrolysis, give readily access to the corresponding methyl ketones in a one pot procedure.

Cobalt-Catalyzed C(sp2)-C(sp3) Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling Enabled by Well-Defined Precatalysts with L,X-Type Ligands.

Project description:Cobalt(II) halides in combination with phenoxy-imine (FI) ligands generated efficient precatalysts in situ for the C(sp2)-C(sp3) Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling between alkyl bromides and neopentylglycol (hetero)arylboronic esters. The protocol enabled efficient C-C bond formation with a host of nucleophiles and electrophiles (36 examples, 34-95%) with precatalyst loadings of 5 mol%. Studies with alkyl halide electrophiles that function as radical clocks support the intermediacy of alkyl radicals during the course of the catalytic reaction. The improved performance of the FI-cobalt catalyst was correlated with decreased lifetimes of cage-escaped radicals as compared to diamine-type ligands. Studies of the phenoxy(imine)-cobalt coordination chemistry validate the L,X interaction leading to the discovery of an optimal, well defined, air-stable mono-FI cobalt(II) precatalyst structure.

Stereoretentive C( sp3)-S Cross-Coupling.

Project description:We report a stereoretentive cross-coupling reaction of configurationally stable nucleophiles with disulfide and N-sulfenylsuccinimide donors promoted by Cu(I). We demonstrate the utility of this method in the synthesis of thioglycosides derived from simple alkyl and aryl thiols, thioglycosides, and in the glycodiversification of cysteine residues in peptides. These reactions operate well with carbohydrate substrates containing common protective groups and reagents with free hydroxyl and secondary amide functionalities under standardized conditions. Competition experiments in combination with computational DFT studies established that the putative anomeric intermediate is an organocopper species that is configurationally stable and resistant to epimerization due to its short lifetime. The subsequent reductive elimination from the Cu(III) intermediate is rapid and stereoretentive. Taken together, the glycosyl cross-coupling is ideally suited for late stage glycodiversification and bioconjugation under highly controlled installation of the aliphatic carbon-sulfur bonds.

Cobalt-Catalyzed C(sp2)-C(sp3) Suzuki-Miyaura Cross Coupling.

Project description:A cobalt-catalyzed method for the C(sp2)-C(sp3) Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling of aryl boronic esters and alkyl bromides is described. Cobalt-ligand combinations were assayed with high-throughput experimentation, and cobalt(II) sources with trans-N,N'-dimethylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine (DMCyDA, L1) produced optimal yield and selectivity. The scope of this transformation encompassed steric and electronic diversity on the aryl boronate nucleophile as well as various levels of branching and synthetically valuable functionality on the electrophile. Radical trap experiments support the formation of electrophile-derived radicals during catalysis.
