Single operation palladium catalysed C(sp³)-H functionalisation of tertiary aldehydes: investigations into transient imine directing groups.

ABSTRACT: Simple amine and diamine derivatives can promote the palladium catalysed direct ?-C-H arylation of aliphatic aldehydes via transient imine formation. Trifluoroacetate was shown to be crucial in promoting the reaction. Sub-stoichiometric quantities of simple N-tosylethylenediamine was shown to form a bidentate directing group with an imine linkage. Isolation of an unsymmetrical palladacycle has shown different potential binding modes of the secondary NTs coordinating group by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, suggestive of a hemilabile ligand.

A comprehensive overview of directing groups applied in metal-catalysed C-H functionalisation chemistry.

Project description:The present review is devoted to summarizing the recent advances (2015-2017) in the field of metal-catalysed group-directed C-H functionalisation. In order to clearly showcase the molecular diversity that can now be accessed by means of directed C-H functionalisation, the whole is organized following the directing groups installed on a substrate. Its aim is to be a comprehensive reference work, where a specific directing group can be easily found, together with the transformations which have been carried out with it. Hence, the primary format of this review is schemes accompanied with a concise explanatory text, in which the directing groups are ordered in sections according to their chemical structure. The schemes feature typical substrates used, the products obtained as well as the required reaction conditions. Importantly, each example is commented on with respect to the most important positive features and drawbacks, on aspects such as selectivity, substrate scope, reaction conditions, directing group removal, and greenness. The targeted readership are both experts in the field of C-H functionalisation chemistry (to provide a comprehensive overview of the progress made in the last years) and, even more so, all organic chemists who want to introduce the C-H functionalisation way of thinking for a design of straightforward, efficient and step-economic synthetic routes towards molecules of interest to them. Accordingly, this review should be of particular interest also for scientists from industrial R&D sector. Hence, the overall goal of this review is to promote the application of C-H functionalisation reactions outside the research groups dedicated to method development and establishing it as a valuable reaction archetype in contemporary R&D, comparable to the role cross-coupling reactions play to date.

Combined experimental and computational investigations of rhodium-catalysed C - H functionalisation of pyrazoles with alkenes.

Project description:Detailed experimental and computational studies have been carried out on the oxidative coupling of the alkenes C2 H3 Y (Y=CO2 Me (a), Ph (b), C(O)Me (c)) with 3-aryl-5-R-pyrazoles (R=Me (1 a), Ph (1 b), CF3 (1 c)) using a [Rh(MeCN)3 Cp*][PF6 ]2 /Cu(OAc)2 ⋅H2 O catalyst system. In the reaction of methyl acrylate with 1 a, up to five products (2 aa-6 aa) were formed, including the trans monovinyl product, either complexed within a novel Cu(I) dimer (2 aa) or as the free species (3 aa), and a divinyl species (6 aa); both 3 aa and 6 aa underwent cyclisation by an aza-Michael reaction to give fused heterocycles 4 aa and 5 aa, respectively. With styrene, only trans mono- and divinylation products were observed, whereas with methyl vinyl ketone, a stronger Michael acceptor, only cyclised oxidative coupling products were formed. Density functional theory calculations were performed to characterise the different migratory insertion and β-H transfer steps implicated in the reactions of 1 a with methyl acrylate and styrene. The calculations showed a clear kinetic preference for 2,1-insertion and the formation of trans vinyl products, consistent with the experimental results.

Contrasteric coupling of allenes and tetrahydroisoquinolines by iron-catalysed allenic C(sp2)-H functionalisation.

Project description:An iron-catalysed C-H functionalisation of simple monosubstituted allenes for the synthesis of 1-tetrahydroisoquinolinyl 1,1-disubstituted allenes is reported. This transformation represents the first example of a direct conversion of allenic C-H bonds to C-C bonds through cross dehydrogenative coupling. The optimized protocol features broad scope and employs mild, functional group tolerant conditions.

BIAN-Aluminium-Catalysed Imine Hydrogenation.

Project description:Hydrogenations have been dominated by transition metal catalysis, while the use of more abundant and inexpensive main group metal catalysts has remained a great challenge. Here, a bimetallic Li/Al dihydride was successfully applied to catalytic hydrogenations of imines. The catalyst [(DippBIAN)Al(μ-H)2Li(OEt2)2] was easily prepared from the 2e-reduced BIAN derivative and LiAlH4.

Two Directing Groups Used for Metal Catalysed Meta-C-H Functionalisation Only Effect Ortho Electrophilic C-H Borylation.

Project description:Two templates used in meta-directed C-H functionalisation under metal catalysis do not direct meta-C-H borylation under electrophilic borylation conditions. Using BCl3 only Lewis adduct formation with Lewis basic sites in the template is observed. While combining BBr3 and the template containing an amide linker only led to amide directed ortho C-H borylation, with no pyridyl directed meta borylation. The amide directed borylation is selective for the ortho borylation of the aniline derived unit in the template, with no ortho borylation of the phenylacetyl ring - which would also form a six membered boracycle - observed. In the absence of other aromatics amide directed ortho borylation on to phenylacetyl rings can be achieved. The absence of meta-borylation using two templates indicates a higher barrier to pyridyl directed meta borylation relative to amide directed ortho borylation and suggests that bespoke templates for enabling meta-directed electrophilic borylation may be required.

A palladium-catalysed enolate alkylation cascade for the formation of adjacent quaternary and tertiary stereocentres.

Project description:The catalytic enantioselective synthesis of densely functionalised organic molecules containing all-carbon quaternary stereocentres is a challenge to modern chemical methodology research. The catalytically controlled asymmetric alpha-alkylation of ketones represents another difficult task and has been of major interest to our and other research groups in the past. We now report a palladium-catalyzed enantioselective process that addresses both problems at once and allows the installation of vicinal all-carbon quaternary and tertiary stereocentres at the alpha-carbon of a ketone in a single step. This multiple bond forming process is carried out on readily available beta-ketoester starting materials and proceeds via conjugate addition of an in situ-generated palladium enolate to activated Michael acceptors. In other words, the CO(2)-moiety of the substrate is displaced by a C-C fragment in an asymmetric cut-and-paste reaction. The products are obtained in high yield, diastereomeric ratio, and enantiomeric excess.

Regiospecific α-methylene functionalisation of tertiary amines with alkynes via Au-catalysed concerted one-proton/two-electron transfer to O2.

Project description:Regioselective transformations of tertiary amines, which are ubiquitously present in natural products and drugs, are important for the development of novel medicines. In particular, the oxidative α-C-H functionalisation of tertiary amines with nucleophiles via iminium cations is a promising approach because, theoretically, there is almost no limit to the type of amine and functionalisation. However, most of the reports on oxidative α-C-H functionalisations are limited to α-methyl-selective or non-selective reactions, despite the frequent appearance of α-methylene-substituted amines in pharmaceutical fields. Herein, we develop an unusual oxidative regiospecific α-methylene functionalisation of structurally diverse tertiary amines with alkynes to synthesise various propargylic amines using a catalyst comprising Zn salts and hydroxyapatite-supported Au nanoparticles. Thorough experimental investigations suggest that the unusual α-methylene regiospecificity is probably due to a concerted one-proton/two-electron transfer from amines to O2 on the Au nanoparticle catalyst, which paves the way to other α-methylene-specific functionalisations.

PdII-Catalyzed Site-selective β- and γ-C(sp3)-H Arylation of Primary Aldehydes Controlled by Transient Directing Groups.

Project description:Pd(II)-catalyzed site-selective β- and γ-C(sp3)-H arylation of primary aldehydes is developed by rational design of L,X-type transient directing groups (TDG). External 2-pyridone ligands are identified to be crucial for the observed reactivity. By minimizing the loading of acid additives, the ligand effect is enhanced to achieve high reactivities of the challenging primary aldehyde substrates. Site selectivity can be switched from the proximate to the relatively remote position by changing the bite angle of TDG to match the desired palladacycle size. Experimental and computational investigations support this rationale for designing TDG to potentially achieve remote site-selective C(sp3)-H functionalizations.

Palladium-catalysed alkene chain-running isomerization.

Project description:We report a method for palladium-catalysed chain-running isomerization of terminal and internal alkenes. Using an air-stable 2,9-dimethylphenanthroline-palladium catalyst in combination with NaBAr4 promoter, olefins are converted to the most stable double bond isomer at -30 to 20 °C. Silyl enol ethers are readily formed from silylated allylic alcohols. Fluorinated substituents are compatible with the reaction conditions, allowing the synthesis of fluoroenolates. Catalyst loading as low as 0.05% can be employed on a gram scale.

Palladium-catalysed anti-Markovnikov selective oxidative amination.

Project description:In recent years, the synthesis of amines and other nitrogen-containing motifs has been a major area of research in organic chemistry because they are widely represented in biologically active molecules. Current strategies rely on a multistep approach and require one reactant to be activated prior to the carbon-nitrogen bond formation. This leads to a reaction inefficiency and functional group intolerance. As such, a general approach to the synthesis of nitrogen-containing compounds from readily available and benign starting materials is highly desirable. Here we present a palladium-catalysed oxidative amination reaction in which the addition of the nitrogen occurs at the less-substituted carbon of a double bond, in what is known as anti-Markovnikov selectivity. Alkenes are shown to react with imides in the presence of a palladate catalyst to generate the terminal imide through trans-aminopalladation. Subsequently, olefin isomerization occurs to afford the thermodynamically favoured products. Both the scope of the transformation and mechanistic investigations are reported.
