Scalable, Electrochemical Oxidation of Unactivated C-H Bonds.

ABSTRACT: A practical electrochemical oxidation of unactivated C-H bonds is presented. This reaction utilizes a simple redox mediator, quinuclidine, with inexpensive carbon and nickel electrodes to selectively functionalize "deep-seated" methylene and methine moieties. The process exhibits a broad scope and good functional group compatibility. The scalability, as illustrated by a 50 g scale oxidation of sclareolide, bodes well for immediate and widespread adoption.

Regio- and stereoselective oxidation of unactivated C-H bonds with Rhodococcus rhodochrous.

Project description:The ability of Rhodococcus rhodochrous (NCIMB 9703) to catalyse the regio- and stereoselective hydroxylation of a range of benzyloxy-substituted heterocycles has been investigated. Incubation of 2-benzyloxytetrahydropyrans with resting cell suspensions of the organism yielded predominantly a mixture of 5-hydroxylated isomers in combined yields of up to 40%. Exposure of the corresponding 2-benzyloxytetrahydrofuran derivatives to the cell suspensions gave predominantly the 4-hydroxylated isomers in yields of up to 26%. Most interestingly, 2-(4-nitrobenzyloxy)tetrahydrofuran and 2-(4-nitrobenzyloxy)tetrahydropyran were transformed in high yields to the 4-hydroxylated and 5-hydroxylated products, respectively.

Scalable and sustainable electrochemical allylic C-H oxidation.

Project description:New methods and strategies for the direct functionalization of C-H bonds are beginning to reshape the field of retrosynthetic analysis, affecting the synthesis of natural products, medicines and materials. The oxidation of allylic systems has played a prominent role in this context as possibly the most widely applied C-H functionalization, owing to the utility of enones and allylic alcohols as versatile intermediates, and their prevalence in natural and unnatural materials. Allylic oxidations have featured in hundreds of syntheses, including some natural product syntheses regarded as "classics". Despite many attempts to improve the efficiency and practicality of this transformation, the majority of conditions still use highly toxic reagents (based around toxic elements such as chromium or selenium) or expensive catalysts (such as palladium or rhodium). These requirements are problematic in industrial settings; currently, no scalable and sustainable solution to allylic oxidation exists. This oxidation strategy is therefore rarely used for large-scale synthetic applications, limiting the adoption of this retrosynthetic strategy by industrial scientists. Here we describe an electrochemical C-H oxidation strategy that exhibits broad substrate scope, operational simplicity and high chemoselectivity. It uses inexpensive and readily available materials, and represents a scalable allylic C-H oxidation (demonstrated on 100 grams), enabling the adoption of this C-H oxidation strategy in large-scale industrial settings without substantial environmental impact.

Peracid Oxidation of Unactivated sp<sup>3</sup> C-H Bonds: An Important Solvent Effect.

Project description:The peracid oxidation of hydrocarbons in chlorinated solvents is a low yielding and poorly selective process. Through a combination of DFT calculations, spectroscopic studies, and kinetic measurement it is shown that the origin of this is electronic in nature and can be influenced through the addition of hydrogen bond donors (HBD) and hydrogen bond acceptors (HBA). Performing the reaction of a cycloalkane with mCPBA in a fluorinated alcohol solvent such as nonafluoro-tert-butanol (NFTB) or hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP), which act as strong HBD and poor HBA, leads to significantly higher yields and selectivities being observed for the alcohol product. Application of the optimised reaction conditions allows for the selective oxidation of both cyclic and linear alkane substrates delivering the corresponding alcohol in up to 86 % yield. The transformation shows selectivity for tertiary centres over secondary centres and the oxidation of secondary centres is strongly influenced by stereoelectronic effects. Primary centres are not oxidised by this method. A simple computational model developed to understand this transformation provides a powerful tool to reliably predict the influence of substitution and functionality on reaction outcome.

Anaerobic functionalization of unactivated C-H bonds.

Project description:The functionalization of alkanes was once thought to lie strictly within the domain of enzymes that activate dioxygen in order to generate an oxidant with suitable potency to cleave inert C-H bonds. The emergence of the radical SAM superfamily of enzymes-those which use S-adenosyl-l-methionine as a precursor to a 5'-deoxyadenosyl 5'-radical-has kindled a renaissance in the study of radical-dependent enzymatic reactions, and is ushering in a wealth of new and intriguing chemistry that remains to be elucidated. This review will focus on a special subclass of radical SAM enzymes that functionalize inert C-H bonds, highlighting the functional groups and the chemistry that leads to their insertion. Within this class are first, enzymes that catalyze sulfur insertion, the prototype of which is biotin synthase; second, enzymes that catalyze P-methylation or C-methylation, such as P-methylase or Fom3; third, enzymes that catalyze oxygen insertion, such as the anaerobic magnesium protoporphyrin-IX oxidative cyclase (BchE); and fourth, enzymes that functionalize n-hexane or other alkanes as the first step in the metabolism of these inert compounds by certain bacteria. In addition to surveying reactions that have been studied at various levels of detail, this review will speculate on the mechanisms of other types of reactions that this chemistry lends itself to.

Nitrate as a Redox Co-Catalyst for the Aerobic Pd-Catalyzed Oxidation of Unactivated sp(3)-C-H Bonds.

Project description:This paper describes a new method for the catalytic aerobic oxygenation of unactivated sp(3)-C-H bonds. This transformation utilizes Pd(OAc)(2) as a catalyst in conjunction with NaNO(3) as a redox co-catalyst. Both oxime ether and pyridine derivatives are effective directing groups for these reactions. The oxygen incorporated into the product derives from the solvent (acetic acid). Preliminary results show that the addition of simple NaCl to the reaction mixture results in aerobic chlorination under analogous conditions.

Remote Radical Desaturation of Unactivated C-H Bonds in Amides.

Project description:Desaturation of inert aliphatic C-H bonds in alkanes to form the corresponding alkenes is challenging. In this communication, a new and practical strategy for remote site-selective desaturation of amides via radical chemistry is reported. The readily installed N-allylsulfonylamide moiety serves as an N radical precursor. Intramolecular 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer from an inert C-H bond to the N-radical generates a translocated C-radical which is subsequently oxidized and deprotonated to give the corresponding alkene. The commercially available methanesulfonyl chloride is used as reagent and a Cu/Ag-couple as oxidant. The remote desaturation is realized on different types of unactivated sp3 -C-H bonds. The potential synthetic utility of this method is further demonstrated by the dehydrogenation of natural product derivatives and drugs.

Facile and general electrochemical deuteration of unactivated alkyl halides.

Project description:Herein, a facile and general electroreductive deuteration of unactivated alkyl halides (X = Cl, Br, I) or pseudo-halides (X = OMs) using D2O as the economical deuterium source was reported. In addition to primary and secondary alkyl halides, sterically hindered tertiary chlorides also work very well, affording the target deuterodehalogenated products with excellent efficiency and deuterium incorporation. More than 60 examples are provided, including late-stage dehalogenative deuteration of natural products, pharmaceuticals, and their derivatives, all with excellent deuterium incorporation (up to 99% D), demonstrating the potential utility of the developed method in organic synthesis. Furthermore, the method does not require external catalysts and tolerates high current, showing possible use in industrial applications.

Non-Heme-Iron-Mediated Selective Halogenation of Unactivated Carbon-Hydrogen Bonds.

Project description:Oxidation of the iron(II) precursor [(L1 )FeII Cl2 ], where L1 is a tetradentate bispidine, with soluble iodosylbenzene (s PhIO) leads to the extremely reactive ferryl oxidant [(L1 )(Cl)FeIV =O]+ with a cis disposition of the chlorido and oxido coligands, as observed in non-heme halogenase enzymes. Experimental data indicate that, with cyclohexane as substrate, there is selective formation of chlorocyclohexane, the halogenation being initiated by C-H abstraction and the result of a rebound of the ensuing radical to an iron-bound Cl- . The time-resolved formation of the halogenation product indicates that this primarily results from s PhIO oxidation of an initially formed oxido-bridged diiron(III) resting state. The high yield of up to >70 % (stoichiometric reaction) as well as the differing reactivities of free Fe2+ and Fe3+ in comparison with [(L1 )FeII Cl2 ] indicate a high complex stability of the bispidine-iron complexes. DFT analysis shows that, due to a large driving force and small triplet-quintet gap, [(L1 )(Cl)FeIV =O]+ is the most reactive small-molecule halogenase model, that the FeIII /radical rebound intermediate has a relatively long lifetime (as supported by experimentally observed cage escape), and that this intermediate has, as observed experimentally, a lower energy barrier to the halogenation than the hydroxylation product; this is shown to primarily be due to steric effects.
