Visible-Light-Enabled Direct Decarboxylative N-Alkylation.

Project description:The development of efficient and selective C-N bond-forming reactions from abundant feedstock chemicals remains a central theme in organic chemistry owing to the key roles of amines in synthesis, drug discovery, and materials science. Herein, we present a dual catalytic system for the N-alkylation of diverse aromatic carbocyclic and heterocyclic amines directly with carboxylic acids, by-passing their preactivation as redox-active esters. The reaction, which is enabled by visible-light-driven, acridine-catalyzed decarboxylation, provides access to N-alkylated secondary and tertiary anilines and N-heterocycles. Additional examples, including double alkylation, the installation of metabolically robust deuterated methyl groups, and tandem ring formation, further demonstrate the potential of the direct decarboxylative alkylation (DDA) reaction.

Electrochemical Decarboxylative <i>N</i>-Alkylation of Heterocycles.

Project description:An operationally simple method to employ nonactivated carboxylic acids as alkylating agents in the N-alkylation of heterocycles is reported through an electrochemically driven anodic decarboxylative process. A wide substrate scope across a range of heterocycles is demonstrated along with a series of applications that significantly reduce the step count required to access such medicinally relevant structures.

Visible Light-Mediated Direct C-H Aroylation and Alkylation of Heteroarenes.

Project description:Herein, we describe the photocatalytic generation of nucleophilic aroyl radicals from simple aroyl chlorides as a universal and efficient cross-coupling strategy for the direct aroylation of heteroarenes. Furthermore, visible light-mediated direct alkylation of heteroarenes has also been achieved using unactivated bromoalkanes as radical precursors. These two strategies feature high functional group tolerance, exclusive regioselectivity for reaction at the more electrophilic position of heteroarenes, easily accessible substrates, and mild reaction conditions. Moreover, mechanism studies of two reactions are carried out to support our hypotheses.

Enantioselective construction of quaternary N-heterocycles by palladium-catalysed decarboxylative allylic alkylation of lactams.

Project description:The enantioselective synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles (N-heterocycles) represents a substantial chemical research effort and resonates across numerous disciplines, including the total synthesis of natural products and medicinal chemistry. In this Article, we describe the highly enantioselective palladium-catalysed decarboxylative allylic alkylation of readily available lactams to form 3,3-disubstituted pyrrolidinones, piperidinones, caprolactams and structurally related lactams. Given the prevalence of quaternary N-heterocycles in biologically active alkaloids and pharmaceutical agents, we envisage that our method will provide a synthetic entry into the de novo asymmetric synthesis of such structures. As an entry for these investigations we demonstrate how the described catalysis affords enantiopure quaternary lactams that intercept synthetic intermediates previously used in the synthesis of the Aspidosperma alkaloids quebrachamine and rhazinilam, but that were previously only available by chiral auxiliary approaches or as racemic mixtures.

Visible-Light-Mediated Decarboxylative Radical Additions to Vinyl Boronic Esters: Rapid Access to ?-Amino Boronic Esters.

Project description:The synthesis of alkyl boronic esters by direct decarboxylative radical addition of carboxylic acids to vinyl boronic esters is described. The reaction proceeds under mild photoredox catalysis and involves an unprecedented single-electron reduction of an ?-boryl radical intermediate to the corresponding anion. The reaction is amenable to a diverse range of substrates, including ?-amino, ?-oxy, and alkyl carboxylic acids, thus providing a novel method to rapidly access boron-containing molecules of potential biological importance.

Visible light-promoted alkylation of imines using potassium organotrifluoroborates.

Project description:A mild, redox-neutral, alkylation of imines with potassium alkyltrifluoroborates is described. The reaction proceeds under photoredox conditions at ∼30 °C with primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyltrifluoroborates, leading to alkylation products in moderate to good yield in most cases. Aryl-, vinyl-, and cyclopropyltrifluoroborates failed to react under the reported conditions.

Installing amino acids and peptides on N-heterocycles under visible-light assistance.

Project description:Readily available natural α-amino acids are one of nature's most attractive and versatile building blocks in synthesis of natural products and biomolecules. Peptides and N-heterocycles exhibit various biological and pharmaceutical functions. Conjugation of amino acids or peptides with N-heterocycles provides boundless potentiality for screening and discovery of diverse biologically active molecules. However, it is a great challenge to install amino acids or peptides on N-heterocycles through formation of carbon-carbon bonds under mild conditions. In this article, eighteen N-protected α-amino acids and three peptides were well assembled on phenanthridine derivatives via couplings of N-protected α-amino acid and peptide active esters with substituted 2-isocyanobiphenyls at room temperature under visible-light assistance. Furthermore, N-Boc-proline residue was successfully conjugated with oxindole derivatives using similar procedures. The simple protocol, mild reaction conditions, fast reaction, and high efficiency of this method make it an important strategy for synthesis of diverse molecules containing amino acid and peptide fragments.

Co/NHPI-mediated aerobic oxygenation of benzylic C-H bonds in pharmaceutically relevant molecules.

Project description:A simple cobalt(ii)/N-hydroxyphthalimide catalyst system has been identified for selective conversion of benzylic methylene groups in pharmaceutically relevant (hetero)arenes to the corresponding (hetero)aryl ketones. The radical reaction pathway tolerates electronically diverse benzylic C-H bonds, contrasting recent oxygenation reactions that are initiated by deprotonation of a benzylic C-H bond. The reactions proceed under practical reaction conditions (1 M substrate in BuOAc or EtOAc solvent, 12 h, 90-100 °C), and they tolerate common heterocycles, such as pyridines and imidazoles. A cobalt-free, electrochemical, NHPI-catalyzed oxygenation method overcomes challenges encountered with chelating substrates that inhibit the chemical reaction. The utility of the aerobic oxidation method is showcased in the multigram synthesis of a key intermediate towards a drug candidate (AMG 579) under process-relevant reaction conditions.

Successive redox-mediated visible-light ferrophotovoltaics.

Project description:Titanium oxide materials have multiple functions such as photocatalytic and photovoltaic effects. Ferroelectrics provide access to light energy conversion that delivers above-bandgap voltages arising from spatial inversion symmetry breaking, whereas their wide bandgap leads to poor absorption of visible light. Bandgap narrowing offers a potential solution, but this material modification suppresses spontaneous polarization and, hence, sacrifices photovoltages. Here, we report successive-redox mediated ferrophotovoltaics that exhibit a robust visible-light response. Our single-crystal experiments and ab initio calculations, along with photo-luminescence analysis, demonstrate that divalent Fe2+ and trivalent Fe3+ coexisted in a prototypical ferroelectric barium titanate BaTiO3 introduce donor and acceptor levels, respectively, and that two sequential Fe3+/Fe2+ redox reactions enhance the photogenerated power not only under visible light but also at photon energies greater than the bandgap. Our approach opens a promising route to the visible-light activation of photovoltaics and, potentially, of photocatalysts.

Palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic alkylation of diastereomeric ?-ketoesters.

Project description:The palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic alkylation of diastereomeric ?-ketoesters derived from 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone is described. These experiments were performed to elucidate our understanding of stereoablative enantioconvergent catalysis. A detailed analysis of the product distribution, including stereochemical outcome of the products, is included. These studies also reveal an interesting example of selectivity that is governed by competing modes of substrate and catalyst control.
