Traceless Silylation of ?-C(sp3)-H Bonds of Alcohols via Perfluorinated Acetals.

ABSTRACT: We report the silylation of primary C-H bonds located ? to secondary and tertiary alcohols by exploiting perfluorinated esters as traceless directing groups. The conversion of a secondary or tertiary alcohol to a perfluoroalkyl ester and conversion of the ester to the corresponding silyl acetals by hydrosilylation allows for selective ?-C(sp3)-H silylation catalyzed by the combination of [Ir(cod)OMe]2 and Me4Phen (3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) to form 6-membered dioxasilinane. Tamao-Fleming oxidation of these dioxasilinane leads to 1,2 diols. The developed sequence was applied to a series of natural products containing hydroxyl groups.

Transition-Metal- and Light-Free Directed Amination of Remote Unactivated C(sp3)-H Bonds of Alcohols.

Project description:Due to the great value of amino alcohols, new methods for their synthesis are in high demand. Abundant aliphatic alcohols represent the ideal feedstock for the method development toward this important motif. To date, transition-metal-catalyzed approaches for the directed remote amination of alcohols have been well established. Yet, they have certain disadvantages such as the use of expensive catalysts and limited scope. Very recently, transition-metal-free visible-light-induced radical approaches have emerged as new powerful tools for directed remote amination of alcohols. Relying on 1,5-HAT reactivity, these methods are limited to ? - or ?-amination only. Herein, we report a novel transition-metal- and visible-light-free room-temperature radical approach for remote ? -, ?-, and ?-C(sp3)-N bond formation in aliphatic alcohols using mild basic conditions and readily available diazonium salt reagents.

Chemo- and regioselective oxygenation of C(sp3)-H bonds in aliphatic alcohols using a covalently bound directing activator and atmospheric oxygen.

Project description:Chemically reactive directing groups (directing activators) represent a promising strategy for mild and regioselective C(sp3)-H functionalization. The use of a radical N-oxyl directing activator promoted the aerobic oxygenation of benzylic, propargylic, tertiary, and unactivated acyclic methylene C(sp3)-H bonds in aliphatic alcohols with ?- (or ?-) selectivity under mild conditions (room temperature to 50 °C). The reaction was unaffected by the presence of various oxidation-sensitive functional groups, which proved to be problematic in previously reported studies on the oxidation of C(sp3)-H bonds. Structural modifications on the directing activator altered the regioselectivity, and thus provided an ultra-remote aerobic C(sp3)-H oxygenation. The observed reactivity and regioselectivity could be rationalized in terms of the intramolecular conformational accessibility of the N-oxyl radical and the electronic characteristics of C(sp3)-H bonds.

Rhodium-Catalyzed Enantioselective Silylation of Cyclopropyl C-H Bonds.

Project description:Hydrosilyl ethers, generated in situ by the dehydrogenative silylation of cyclopropylmethanols with diethylsilane, undergo asymmetric, intramolecular silylation of cyclopropyl C-H bonds in high yields and with high enantiomeric excesses in the presence of a rhodium catalyst derived from a rhodium precursor and the bisphosphine (S)-DTBM-SEGPHOS. The resulting enantioenriched oxasilolanes are suitable substrates for the Tamao-Fleming oxidation to form cyclopropanols with conservation of the ee value from the C-H silylation. Preliminary mechanistic data suggest that C-H cleavage is likely to be the turnover-limiting and enantioselectivity-determining step.

Parts-per-million level loading organocatalysed enantioselective silylation of alcohols.

Project description:The field of organocatalysis has blossomed over the past few decades, becoming an alternative to transition-metal catalysis or even replacing the realm of transition-metal catalysis. However, a truly powerful organocatalyst with a high turnover number (TON) and turnover frequency (TOF) while retaining high enantioselectivity is yet to be discovered. Similar to metal catalysis, extremely low catalyst loading (p.p.m. or p.p.b. levels) is the ultimate goal of the organocatalysis community. Herein we report a remarkable contribution in this context: 1 p.p.m. loading of a simple 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol-based organocatalyst was enough to achieve highly enantioselective silylation reactions of alcohols. The unprecedented TONs and excellent enantioselectivity are ascribed to the robustness of the catalyst and systematic cooperative hydrogen-bonding organocatalysis in a densely confined chiral space.

Dealkenylative Thiylation of C(sp3)-C(sp2) Bonds.

Project description:Carbon-carbon bond fragmentations are useful methods for the functionalization of molecules. The value of such cleavage events is maximized when paired with subsequent bond formation. Herein we report a protocol for the cleavage of an alkene C(sp3)-C(sp2) bond, followed by the formation of a new C(sp3)-S bond. This reaction is performed in nonanhydrous solvent and open to the air, employs common starting materials, and can be used to rapidly diversify natural products.

Site-selective bromination of sp3 C-H bonds.

Project description:A method for converting sp3 C-H to C-Br bonds using an N-methyl sulfamate directing group is described. The reaction employs Rh2(oct)4 and a mixture of NaBr and NaOCl and is performed in aqueous solution open to air. For all sulfamates examined, oxidation occurs with high selectivity at the ?-carbon, affording a uniquely predictable method for C-H bond halogenation. Results from a series of mechanistic experiments suggest that substrate oxidation likely proceeds by a radical chain process. Initial formation of an N-halogenated sulfamate followed by Rh-mediated homolysis generates an N-centered radical, which serves as the active oxidant.

Ir-Catalyzed Enantioselective, Intramolecular Silylation of Methyl C-H Bonds.

Project description:We report highly enantioselective intramolecular, silylations of unactivated, primary C(sp3)-H bonds. The reactions form dihydrobenzosiloles in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities by functionalization of enantiotopic methyl groups under mild conditions. The reaction is catalyzed by an iridium complex generated from [Ir(COD)OMe]2 and chiral dinitrogen ligands that we recently disclosed. The C-Si bonds in the enantioenriched dihydrobenzosiloles were further transformed to C-Cl, C-Br, C-I, and C-O bonds in final products. The potential of this reaction was illustrated by sequential C(sp3)-H and C(sp2)-H silylations and functionalizations, as well as diastereoselective C-H silylations of a chiral, natural-product derivative containing multiple types of C-H bonds. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that C-H cleavage is the rate-determining step.

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).

Pd(II)-catalyzed olefination of sp3 C-H bonds.

Project description:The first Pd(II)-catalyzed sp(3) C-H olefination reaction has been developed using N-arylamide directing groups. Following olefination, the resulting intermediates were found to undergo rapid 1,4-addition to give the corresponding gamma-lactams. Notably, this method was effective with substrates containing alpha-hydrogen atoms and could be applied to effect methylene C-H olefination of cyclopropane substrates.

Activation of Si-Si Bonds for Copper(I)-Catalyzed Conjugate Silylation.

Project description:Several alkyl- and vinylsilanes were prepared through the copper(I)-catalyzed conjugate silylation of ?,?-unsaturated compounds. Optimal reaction conditions were first investigated to realize the conjugate addition of a nucleophilic silicon species to poorly electrophilic acceptors such as phenylvinyl sulfone by cleavage of the Si-Si bond of a disilane reagent. The scope of this reaction was extended to various electrophiles bearing different electron-withdrawing groups and afforded the desired substituted alkyl- and vinylsilanes. Among the wide range of commercially available disilanes, the reactivities of alkyl-, aryl-, and ethoxydisilane were also examined.
