Mechanistic analysis of a copper-catalyzed C-H oxidative cyclization of carboxylic acids.

ABSTRACT: We recently reported that carboxylic acids can be oxidized to lactone products by potassium persulfate and catalytic copper acetate. Here, we unravel the mechanism for this C-H functionalization reaction using desorption electrospray ionization, online electrospray ionization, and tandem mass spectrometry. Our findings suggest that electron transfer from a transient benzylic radical intermediate reduces Cu(ii) to Cu(i), which is then re-oxidized to Cu(ii) in the catalytic cycle. The resulting benzylic carbocation is trapped by the pendant carboxylate group to give the lactone product. Formation of the putative benzylic carbocation is supported by Hammett analysis. The proposed mechanism for this copper-catalyzed oxidative cyclization process differs from earlier reports of analogous reactions, which posit a substrate carboxylate radical as the reactive oxidant.

Copper-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Elimination of Carboxylic Acids to Styrenes.

Project description:A copper-catalyzed decarboxylative elimination reaction of (hetero)aromatic propionic acids to vinyl (hetero)arenes has been developed. This method furnishes alkenes from carboxylic acids without the need for stochiometric Pb or Ag additives or expensive or specialized photocatalysts. A series of mechanistic experiments indicate that the reaction proceeds via benzylic deprotonation and subsequent radical decarboxylation; a pathway that is distinct from the single-electron-transfer mechanisms implicated in related decarboxylative elimination reactions.

Copper-catalyzed intermolecular oxyamination of olefins using carboxylic acids and O-benzoylhydroxylamines.

Project description:This paper reports a novel approach for the direct and facile synthesis of 1,2-oxyamino moieties via an intermolecular copper-catalyzed oxyamination of olefins. This strategy utilizes O-benzoylhydroxylamines as an electrophilic amine source and carboxylic acids as a nucleophilic oxygen source to achieve a modular difunctionalization of olefins. The reaction proceeded in a regioselective manner with moderate to good yields, exhibiting a broad scope of carboxylic acid, amine, and olefin substrates.

Copper-catalyzed asymmetric cyclization of alkenyl diynes: method development and new mechanistic insights.

Project description:Metal carbenes have proven to be one of the most important and useful intermediates in organic synthesis, but catalytic asymmetric reactions involving metal carbenes are still scarce and remain a challenge. Particularly, the mechanistic pathway and chiral induction model in these asymmetric transformations are far from clear. Described herein is a copper-catalyzed asymmetric cyclization of alkenyl diynes involving a vinylic C(sp2)-H functionalization, which constitutes the first asymmetric vinylic C(sp2)-H functionalization through cyclopentannulation. Significantly, based on extensive mechanistic studies including control experiments and theoretical calculations, a revised mechanism involving a novel type of endocyclic copper carbene via remote-stereocontrol is proposed, thus providing new mechanistic insight into the copper-catalyzed asymmetric diyne cyclization and representing a new chiral control pattern in asymmetric catalysis based on remote-stereocontrol and vinyl cations. This method enables the practical and atom-economical construction of an array of valuable chiral polycyclic-pyrroles in high yields and enantioselectivities.

Isoquinolone-4-Carboxylic Acids by Ammonia-Ugi-4CR and Copper-Catalyzed Domino Reaction.

Project description:Highly substituted isoquinolone-4-carboxylic acid is an important bioactive scaffold; however, it is challenging to access it in a general and short way. A Cu-catalyzed cascade reaction was successfully designed involving the Ugi postcyclization strategy by using ammonia and 2-halobenzoic acids as crucial building blocks. Privileged polysubstituted isoquinolin-1(2H)-ones were constructed in a combinatorial format with generally moderate to good yields. The protocol, with a ligand-free catalytic system, shows a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance toward excellent molecular diversity. Free 4-carboxy-isoquinolone is now for the first time generally accessible by a convergent multicomponent reaction protocol.

Copper-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Functionalization of Conjugated <i>β,γ</i>-Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids.

Project description:Copper-catalyzed decarboxylative coupling reactions of conjugated β,γ-unsaturated carboxylic acids have been achieved for allylic amination, alkylation, sulfonylation, and phosphinoylation. This approach was effective for a broad scope of amino, alkyl, sulfonyl, and phosphinoyl radical precursors as well as various conjugated β,γ-unsaturated carboxylic acids. These reactions also feature high regioselectivity, good functional group tolerance, and simple operation procedure. Mechanistic studies show that the reaction proceeds via copper-catalyzed electrophilic addition onto an olefin followed by decarboxylation, with radical intermediates involved. These insights present a modular and powerful strategy to access versatilely functionalized allyl-containing skeletons from readily available and stable carboxylic acids.

Unlocking a self-catalytic cycle in a copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative coupling/cyclization reaction.

Project description:Presented here is a copper-catalyzed, aerobic oxidative C-H/C-H cyclization reaction, which occurs by cleaving the C-H and N-H bonds of 3-phenylindoles. A broad range of 3-phenylindoles can be well tolerated to produce the indole-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in good to excellent yields. An evaluation of the reaction mechanism is enabled by the isolation of the di- and tri-indole intermediates, highlighting the role of the substrate for this catalytic reaction. The results of these controlled experiments and kinetic studies provide solid experimental support for a self-catalysis reaction, which has rarely been observed in oxidative C-H activation reactions. Additional mechanistic studies indicate that the substrate for this reaction accelerates by the following mechanism: The substrate combines with the Cu catalyst to transform the less active di-indole intermediate into a tri-indole intermediate. This intermediate is quickly converted into the desired product along with regeneration of the substrate copper complex.

Mechanistic insights into copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative coupling of N-N bonds.

Project description:Catalytic N-N coupling is a valuable transformation for chemical synthesis and energy conversion. Here, mechanistic studies are presented for two related copper-catalyzed oxidative aerobic N-N coupling reactions, one involving the synthesis of a pharmaceutically relevant triazole and the other relevant to the oxidative conversion of ammonia to hydrazine. Analysis of catalytic and stoichiometric N-N coupling reactions support an "oxidase"-type catalytic mechanism with two redox half-reactions: (1) aerobic oxidation of a CuI catalyst and (2) CuII-promoted N-N coupling. Both reactions feature turnover-limiting oxidation of CuI by O2, and this step is inhibited by the N-H substrate(s). The results highlight the unexpected facility of the N-N coupling step and establish a foundation for development of improved catalysts for these transformations.

Molecular-oxygen-promoted Cu-catalyzed oxidative direct amidation of nonactivated carboxylic acids with azoles.

Project description:A copper-catalyzed oxidative direct formation of amides from nonactivated carboxylic acids and azoles with dioxygen as an activating reagent is reported. The azole amides were produced in good to excellent yields with a broad substrate scope. The mechanistic studies reveal that oxygen plays an essential role in the success of the amidation reactions with copper peroxycarboxylate as the key intermediate. Transamidation occurs smoothly between azole amide and a variety of amines.

Decarboxylative palladium(II)-catalyzed synthesis of aryl amidines from aryl carboxylic acids: development and mechanistic investigation.

Project description:A fast and convenient synthesis of aryl amidines starting from carboxylic acids and cyanamides is reported. The reaction was achieved by palladium(II)-catalysis in a one-step microwave protocol using [Pd(O2 CCF3 )2 ], 6-methyl-2,2'-bipyridyl and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in N-methylpyrrolidinone (NMP), providing the corresponding aryl amidines in moderate to excellent yields. The protocol is very robust with regards to the cyanamide coupling partner but requires electron-rich ortho-substituted aryl carboxylic acids. Mechanistic insight was provided by a DFT investigation and direct ESI-MS studies of the reaction. The results of the DFT study correlated well with the experimental findings and, together with the ESI-MS study, support the suggested mechanism. Furthermore, a scale-out (scale-up) was performed with a non-resonant microwave continuous-flow system, achieving a maximum throughput of 11 mmol h(-1) by using a glass reactor with an inner diameter of 3 mm at a flow rate of 1 mL min(-1) .
