Iron catalyzed methylation and ethylation of vinyl arenes.

ABSTRACT: Short alkyl chain Heck (type) reactions, especially methyl Heck reactions, are a difficult aspect of the alkyl Heck reaction. To provide a solution to this problem, iron-catalyzed methyl, ethyl and propyl Heck reactions were developed using readily available alkyl peroxides as alkyl sources. The reaction conditions were mild, clean, and easy to handle. No additive was needed, and no hazardous waste was generated. The products were obtained in up to 99% yield of one isomer for most situations. This reaction works for many types of olefin and tolerates a variety of functional groups. Several late-stage functionalizations of natural products and drug molecules were conducted to demonstrate the synthetic applications of this reaction.

Copper-catalyzed oxidative Heck reactions between alkyltrifluoroborates and vinyl arenes.

Project description:We report herein that potassium alkyltrifluoroborates can be utilized in oxidative Heck-type reactions with vinyl arenes. The reaction is catalyzed by a Cu(OTf)2/1,10-phenanthroline with MnO2 as the stoichiometric oxidant. In addition to the alkyl Heck, amination, esterification, and dimerization reactions of alkyltrifluoroborates are demonstrated under analogous reaction conditions. Evidence for an alkyl radical intermediate is presented.

Palladium-Catalyzed Methylation of Aryl, Heteroaryl, and Vinyl Boronate Esters.

Project description:A method for the direct methylation of aryl, heteroaryl, and vinyl boronate esters is reported, involving the reaction of iodomethane with aryl-, heteroaryl-, and vinylboronate esters catalyzed by palladium and PtBu2Me. This transformation occurs with a remarkably broad scope and is suitable for late-stage derivatization of biologically active compounds via the boronate esters. The unique capabilities of this method are demonstrated by combining carbon-boron bond-forming reactions with palladium-catalyzed methylation in a tandem transformation.

Iron-Catalyzed Meerwein Carbooxygenation of Electron-Rich Olefins: Studies with Styrenes, Vinyl Pyrrolidinone, and Vinyl Oxazolidinone.

Project description:The arylative oxygenation of the electron-rich olefins styrene, ?-methylstyrene, vinyl pyrrolidinone, and vinyl oxazolidinone was accomplished using arenediazonium salts and catalytic amounts of FeSO4 in an effective single electron transfer radical process. A broad range of aryldiazonium salts was tolerated using water, methanol, or their combination with acetonitrile to furnish the corresponding carbohydroxylated and carbomethoxylated products (42 examples), including functionalized dihydroisocoumarin and dihydrobenzofuran systems in good to excellent yields (up to 88%). The protocols developed for the Fe(II)-catalyzed carbohydroxylation were also compared to Ru(II) and Ir(III) photoredox carbooxygenations of these electron-rich olefins. The Fe(II)-catalyzed process proved to be highly competitive compared to the photoredox and the uncatalyzed processes. The proposed mechanism for the Fe(II)-catalyzed reactions involves the synergic combination with an effective Fe+2/Fe+3 redox system and a radical polar crossover mechanism featuring an unprecedented capture of the reactive N-acyliminium in the case of vinyl pyrrolidinone and vinyl oxazolidinone.

Chemoselective hydroamination of vinyl arenes catalyzed by an NHC-amidate-alkoxide Pd(II) complex and p-TsOH.

Project description:The hydroamination of various substituted vinyl arenes with benzenesulfonamide was explored using an NHC-amidate-alkoxide palladium catalyst in conjunction with p-TsOH. Utilizing halide-substituted and electron-rich vinyl arenes, this methodology selectively furnished the cross-coupled hydroamination products in moderate to excellent yields in a Markovnikov fashion while greatly reducing undesired acid-catalyzed homocoupling of the vinyl arenes. Electron-rich vinyl arenes typically required milder conditions than electron-poor ones. While most effective for para-substituted substrates, the catalyst system also furnished the desired products from ortho- and meta-substituted vinyl arenes with high chemoselectivities.

Palladium-catalyzed acetylation of arenes.

Project description:A simple method for the preparation of aryl methyl ketones is reported. The transformation involves the Pd-catalyzed coupling of an acyl anion equivalent, acetyltrimethylsilane, with aryl bromides to afford the corresponding acetylated arenes in synthetically useful yields. The methodology is tolerant of heterocycles and provides a new method for arene functionalization.

Iron-Catalyzed Borrowing Hydrogen ?-C(sp3)-Methylation of Alcohols.

Project description:Herein we report the iron-catalyzed ?-C(sp3)-methylation of primary alcohols using methanol as a C1 building block. This borrowing hydrogen approach employs a well-defined bench-stable (cyclopentadienone)iron(0) carbonyl complex as precatalyst (5 mol %) and enables a diverse selection of substituted 2-arylethanols to undergo ?-C(sp3)-methylation in good isolated yields (24 examples, 65% average yield).

Birch-Type Reduction of Arenes in 2-Propanol Catalyzed by Zero-Valent Iron and Platinum on Carbon.

Project description:Catalytic arene reduction was effectively realized by heating in 2-propanol/water in the presence of Pt on carbon (Pt/C) and metallic Fe. 2-Propanol acted as a hydrogen source, obviating the need for flammable (and hence, dangerous and hard-to-handle) hydrogen gas, while metallic Fe acted as an essential co-catalyst to promote reduction. The chemical states of Pt and Fe in the reaction mixture were determined by X-ray absorption near-edge structure analysis, and the obtained results were used to suggest a plausible reaction mechanism, implying that catalytic reduction involved Pt- and Fe-mediated single-electron transfer and the dehydrogenation of 2-propanol.

Rhoda-Electrocatalyzed C-H Methylation and Paired Electrocatalyzed C-H Ethylation and Propylation.

Project description:The use of electricity over traditional stoichiometric oxidants is a promising strategy for sustainable molecular assembly. Herein, we describe the rhoda-electrocatalyzed C-H activation/alkylation of several N-heteroarenes. This catalytic approach has been successfully applied to several arenes, including biologically relevant purines, diazepam, and amino acids. The versatile C-H alkylation featured water as a co-solvent and user-friendly trifluoroborates as alkylating agents. Finally, the rhoda-electrocatalysis with unsaturated organotrifluoroborates proceeded by paired electrolysis.

The palladium-catalyzed trifluoromethylation of vinyl sulfonates.

Project description:A method for the palladium-catalyzed trifluoromethylation of cyclohexenyl sulfonates has been developed. Various cyclohexenyl triflates and nonaflates underwent trifluoromethylation under mild reaction conditions using a catalyst system composed of Pd(dba)(2) or [(allyl)PdCl](2) and the monodentate biaryl phosphine ligand (t)BuXPhos. The trifluoromethyl anion (CF(3)(-)) or its equivalent for the process was generated in situ from TMSCF(3) in combination with KF or TESCF(3) in combination with RbF.
