Selective transition-metal-free vicinal cis-dihydroxylation of saturated hydrocarbons.

ABSTRACT: A transition-metal-free cis-dihydroxylation of saturated hydrocarbons under ambient reaction conditions has been developed. The described approach allows a direct and selective synthesis of vicinal diols. The new reaction thereby proceeds via radical iodination and a sequence of oxidation steps. A broad scope of one-pot dual C(sp³)-H bond functionalization for the selective synthesis of vicinal syn-diols was demonstrated.

Selective, Transition Metal-free 1,2-Diboration of Alkyl Halides, Tosylates, and Alcohols.

Project description:Defunctionalization of readily available feedstocks to provide alkenes for the synthesis of multifunctional molecules represents an extremely useful process in organic synthesis. Herein, we describe a transition metal-free, simple and efficient strategy to access alkyl 1,2-bis(boronate esters) via regio- and diastereoselective diboration of secondary and tertiary alkyl halides (Br, Cl, I), tosylates, and alcohols. Control experiments demonstrated that the key to this high reactivity and selectivity is the addition of a combination of potassium iodide and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA). The practicality and industrial potential of this transformation are demonstrated by its operational simplicity, wide functional group tolerance, and the late-stage modification of complex molecules. From a drug discovery perspective, this synthetic method offers control of the position of diversification and diastereoselectivity in complex ring scaffolds, which would be especially useful in a lead optimization program.

Metal-free visible-light-enabled vicinal trifluoromethyl dithiolation of unactivated alkenes.

Project description:The difunctionalization of alkenes involving a trifluoromethylthio group (SCF3) for the conversion of versatile and readily available olefins into structurally more complex molecules has been successfully studied. However, the disproportionate dithiolation of alkenes is unknown. Herein, a transition-metal-free protocol is presented for the vicinal trifluoromethylthio-thiolation of unactivated alkenes via a radical process under mild conditions with a broad substrate scope and excellent tolerance.

Saturated hydrocarbons in bovine liver.

Project description:A homologous series of n-alkanes (C(14)-C(33)) and two isoprenoid hydrocarbons, 2,6,10,14-tetramethylhexadecane (phytane) and 2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane (pristane) have been identified in bovine liver. Another branched but non-isoprenoid alkane and three isomers of molecular formula C(20)H(40) were partially identified. Phytane and the C(18)-C(22) and C(29)-C(33)n-alkanes were found to be the major components in liver, suggesting that at least the main hydrocarbon components were derived from various plants in the diet. The hydrocarbons were separated and identified by a series of steps involving solvent extraction, saponification, elution chromatography on alumina and silica gel columns, molecular sieving and by infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopy, followed by combined capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Selective C-N ? Bond Cleavage in Azetidinyl Amides under Transition Metal-Free Conditions.

Project description:Functionalization of amide bond via the cleavage of a non-carbonyl, C-N ? bond remains under-investigated. In this work, a transition-metal-free single-electron transfer reaction has been developed for the C-N ? bond cleavage of N-acylazetidines using the electride derived from sodium dispersions and 15-crown-5. Of note, less strained cyclic amides and acyclic amides are stable under the reaction conditions, which features the excellent chemoselectivity of the reaction. This method is amenable to a range of unhindered and sterically encumbered azetidinyl amides.

cis-dihydroxylation of unsaturated potassium alkyl- and aryltrifluoroborates.

Project description:[reaction: see text] The cis-dihydroxylation of olefin-containing potassium alkyl- and aryltrifluoroborates proceeds readily in moderate to excellent yields. The resulting diols are efficient coupling partners in Suzuki-Miyaura-type reactions with both alkenyl and aryl bromides.

A transition-metal-free & diazo-free styrene cyclopropanation.

Project description:An operationally simple and broadly applicable novel cyclopropanation of styrenes using gem-diiodomethyl carbonyl reagents has been developed. Visible-light triggered the photoinduced generation of iodomethyl carbonyl radicals, able to cyclopropanate a wide array of styrenes with excellent chemoselectivity and functional group tolerance. To highlight the utility of our photocyclopropanation, we demonstrated the late-stage functionalization of biomolecule derivatives.

Selective synthesis of thioethers in the presence of a transition-metal-free solid Lewis acid.

Project description:The synthesis of thioethers starting from alcohols and thiols in the presence of amorphous solid acid catalysts is reported. A silica alumina catalyst with a very low content in alumina gave excellent results in terms of both activity and selectivity also under solvent-free conditions. The reaction rate follows the electron density of the carbinol atom in the substrate alcohol and yields up to 99% and can be obtained for a wide range of substrates under mild reaction conditions.

Highly selective transition-metal-free transamidation of amides and amidation of esters at room temperature.

Project description:Amide chemistry has an essential role in the synthesis of high value molecules, such as pharmaceuticals, natural products, and fine chemicals. Over the past years, several examples of transamidation reactions have been reported. In general, transition-metal-based catalysts or harsh conditions are employed for these transformations due to unfavorable kinetics and thermodynamics of the process. Herein, we report a significant advance in this area and present the general method for transition-metal-free transamidation of amides and amidation of esters by highly selective acyl cleavage with non-nucleophilic amines at room temperature. In contrast to metal-catalyzed protocols, the method is operationally-simple, environmentally-friendly, and operates under exceedingly mild conditions. The practical value is highlighted by the synthesis of valuable amides in high yields. Considering the key role of amides in various branches of chemical science, we envision that this broadly applicable method will be of great interest in organic synthesis, drug discovery, and biochemistry.

Transition-Metal-Free Cleavage of CO.

Project description:Tertiary silane?1H , 2-[(diphenylsilyl)methyl]-6-methylpyridine, reacts with tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (BCF) to form the intramolecular pyridine-stabilized silylium?1+ -HBCF. The corresponding 2-[(diphenylsilyl)methyl]pyridine, lacking the methyl-group on the pyridine ring, forms classic N(py)?B adduct 2H -BCF featuring an intact silane Si-H fragment. Complex?1+ -HBCF promotes cleavage of the C?O triple bond in carbon monoxide with double C-Csp2 bond formation, leading to complex?3 featuring a B-(diarylmethyl)-B-aryl-boryloxysilane fragment. Reaction with pinacol generates bis(pentafluorophenyl)methane?4 as isolable product, proving the transition-metal-free deoxygenation of carbon monoxide by this main-group system. Experimental data and DFT calculations support the existence of an equilibrium between the silylium-hydroborate ion pair and the silane-borane mixture that is responsible for the observed reactivity.

Transition-metal-free alkynylation of aryl chlorides.

Project description:Two sets of conditions have been developed for a base-mediated, transition-metal-free alkynylation of aryl chlorides that proceeds via benzyne intermediates. The first set of conditions involves the use of TMPLi base in a pentane/THF mixture at 25 °C. The second set involves use of a metal alkoxide base in dioxane at elevated temperature. Reasonable functional group tolerance has been observed. Fluoro, trifluoromethyl, silyl, cyano, and alcohol functionalities are compatible with the reaction conditions.
