Silyl-mediated photoredox-catalyzed Giese reaction: addition of non-activated alkyl bromides.

ABSTRACT: The emergence of photoredox catalysis has enabled the discovery of mild and efficient conditions for the generation of a variety of radical reaction platforms. Herein is disclosed the development of a conjugate addition reaction of non-activated alkyl bromides to Michael acceptors under visible-light photoredox catalysis. Optimization of the reaction was achieved using high-throughput experimentation (HTE) tools to enable the identification of mild, general and practical reaction conditions. A diverse set of alkyl bromides was successfully added to cyclic or acyclic ?,?-unsaturated esters and amides. The features of this transformation allowed also access to a key intermediate of Vorinostat®, an HDAC inhibitor used to fight cancer and HIV.

Nickel-Catalyzed Reductive Conjugate Addition of Primary Alkyl Bromides to Enones To Form Silyl Enol Ethers.

Project description:Conjugate addition of organometallic reagents to enones to form silyl enol ether products is a versatile method to difunctionalize activated olefins, but the organometallic reagents required can be limiting. The reductive cross-electrophile coupling of unhindered primary alkyl bromides with enones and chlorosilanes to form silyl enol ether products is catalyzed by a nickel-complexed ortho-brominated terpyridine ligand. The conditions are compatible with a variety of cyclic/acyclic enones and functional groups.

Palladium-catalyzed Heck-type reaction of secondary trifluoromethylated alkyl bromides.

Project description:An efficient palladium-catalyzed Heck-type reaction of secondary trifluoromethylated alkyl bromides has been developed. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions with high efficiency and excellent functional group tolerance, even towards formyl and hydroxy groups. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that a secondary trifluoromethylated alkyl radical is involved in the reaction.

Transition State Analysis of Key Steps in Dual Photoredox-Cobalt-Catalyzed Elimination of Alkyl Bromides.

Project description:A combination of inter- and intramolecular 13C kinetic isotope effects and density functional theory analysis is used to evaluate the key mechanistic events of sequentially operating catalytic cycles in the dual photoredox-cobalt-catalyzed elimination of alkyl bromides. The results point to a mechanism proceeding via irreversible halogen-atom transfer (XAT) from the alkyl halide, resulting in an alkyl radical, which undergoes hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) to a Co(II) intermediate to deliver the product olefin. Alternative pathways involving nucleophilic substitution by a Co(I) species and by β-hydride elimination are discounted based on the poor agreement of experimental and predicted 13C KIEs. This mechanistic understanding is used to evaluate the origins of regioselectivity in the elimination step for an unsymmetrical alkyl halide catalyzed by electronically and sterically distinct cobaloxime catalysts. This study represents the experimental validation of the key features of the transition state structure of XAT by α-aminoalkyl radicals, an important class of atom transfer reactions that generate carbon-centered radicals from alkyl and aryl halides. Furthermore, it illustrates the power of 13C KIEs in probing complex mechanisms in metallaphotoredox catalysis.

Copper-Catalyzed Trifluoromethylation of Alkyl Bromides.

Project description:Copper oxidative addition into organohalides is a challenging two-electron process. In contrast, formal oxidative addition of copper to Csp2 carbon-bromine bonds can be accomplished by employing latent silyl radicals under photoredox conditions. This novel paradigm for copper oxidative addition has now been applied to a Cu-catalyzed cross-coupling of Csp3-bromides. Specifically, a copper/photoredox dual catalytic system for the coupling of alkyl bromides with trifluoromethyl groups is presented. This operationally simple and robust protocol successfully converts a variety of alkyl, allyl, benzyl, and heterobenzyl bromides into the corresponding alkyl trifluoromethanes.

Photoredox-catalyzed silyldifluoromethylation of silyl enol ethers.

Project description:A method for the light-mediated fluoroalkylation of silyl enol ethers with (bromodifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane followed by a reduction of the primary products with sodium borohydride is described. An 18 W, 375 nm LED was used as the light source. The reaction is performed in the presence of a gold photocatalyst, which effects the generation of a (trimethylsilyl)difluoromethyl radical via cleavage of the carbon-bromine bond.

Palladium-catalyzed borylation of primary alkyl bromides.

Project description:A mild Pd-catalyzed process for the borylation of alkyl bromides has been developed using bis(pinacolato)diboron as a boron source. This process accommodates the use of a wide range of functional groups on the alkyl bromide substrate. Primary bromides react with complete selectivity in the presence of a secondary bromide. The generality of this approach is demonstrated by its extension to the use of alkyl iodides and alkyl tosylates, as well as borylation reactions employing bis(neopentyl glycolato)diboron as the boron source.

Investigating the Mechanism of Ni-Catalyzed Coupling of Photoredox-Generated Alkyl Radicals and Aryl Bromides: A Computational Study.

Project description:Photoredox catalysis has emerged as an alternative to classical cross-coupling reactions, promoting new reactivities. Recently, the use of widely abundant alcohols and aryl bromides as coupling reagents was demonstrated to promote efficient coupling through the Ir/Ni dual photoredox catalytic cycle. However, the mechanism underlying this transformation is still unexplored, and here we report a comprehensive computational study of the catalytic cycle. We have shown that nickel catalysts can promote this reactivity very efficiently through DFT calculations. Two different mechanistic scenarios were explored, suggesting that two catalytic cycles operate simultaneously depending on the concentration of the alkyl radical.

Photoredox-Catalyzed Giese Reactions: Decarboxylative Additions to Cyclic Vinylogous Amides and Esters.

Project description:An effective strategy has been developed for the photoredox-catalyzed decarboxylative addition of cyclic amino acids to both vinylogous amides and esters leading to uniquely substituted heterocycles. The additions take place exclusively trans to the substituent present on the dihydropyridone ring affording stereochemical control about the new carbon-carbon bond. These reactions are operationally simplistic and afford the desired products in good to excellent isolated yields.

Photoredox-catalyzed multicomponent Petasis reaction in batch and continuous flow with alkyl boronic acids.

Project description:Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are ideal platforms for the generation of a wide variety of organic scaffolds in a convergent and atom-economical manner. Many strategies for the generation of highly substituted and diverse structures have been developed and among these, the Petasis reaction represents a viable reaction manifold for the synthesis of substituted amines via coupling of an amine, an aldehyde and a boronic acid (BA). Despite its synthetic utility, the inherent drawbacks associated with the traditional two-electron Petasis reaction have stimulated continuous research towards more facile and tolerant methodologies. In this regard, we present the use of free alkyl BAs as effective radical precursors in this MCR through a single-electron transfer mechanism under mild reaction conditions. We have further demonstrated its applicability to photo-flow reactors, facilitating the reaction scale-up for the rapid assembly of complex molecular structures.

Phosphine-catalyzed β'-umpolung addition of nucleophiles to activated α-alkyl allenes.

Project description:Highly functionalized alkenes can be prepared through phosphine-catalyzed β'-umpolung additions of nucleophiles (carbon-, oxygen-, nitrogen-, and sulfur-centered) to activated α-disubstituted allenes, providing many potentially useful synthetic intermediates in good to excellent yields, often with high levels of stereoselectivity for the product olefin geometry. Various substitution patterns around the allene are compatible with the process, showcasing the synthetic utility of allenes under the conditions of nucleophilic phosphine catalysis.
