Highly Efficient and Stereoselective Thioallylation of Alkynes: Possible Gold Redox Catalysis with No Need for a Strong Oxidant.

ABSTRACT: Stereoselective thioallylation of alkynes under possible gold redox catalysis was accomplished with high efficiency (as low as 0.1?% catalyst loading, up to 99?% yield) and broad substrate scope (various alkynes, inter- and intramolecular fashion). The gold(I) catalyst acts as both a ?-acid for alkyne activation and a redox catalyst for AuI/III coupling, whereas the sulfonium cation generated in situ functions as a mild oxidant. This novel methodology provides an exciting system for gold redox catalysis without the need for a strong oxidant.

Facilitating Gold Redox Catalysis with Electrochemistry: An Efficient Chemical-Oxidant-Free Approach.

Project description:Due to the high oxidation potential between AuI and AuIII , gold redox catalysis requires at least stoichiometric amounts of a strong oxidant. We herein report the first example of an electrochemical approach in promoting gold-catalyzed oxidative coupling of terminal alkynes. Oxidation of AuI to AuIII was successfully achieved through anode oxidation, which enabled facile access to either symmetrical or unsymmetrical conjugated diynes through homo-coupling or cross-coupling. This report extends the reaction scope of this transformation to substrates that are not compatible with strong chemical oxidants and potentiates the versatility of gold redox chemistry through the utilization of electrochemical oxidative conditions.

Gold Redox Catalysis with a Selenium Cation as a Mild Oxidant.

Project description:Gold-catalyzed alkyne and allene diselenations were developed. Excellent regioselectivity (trans) and good to excellent yields were achieved (up to 98 % with 2 % catalyst loading) with a wide range of substrates. Mechanistic investigation revealed the formation of a vinyl gold(I) intermediate followed by an intermolecular selenium cation migration, suggesting that a gold(I/III) redox process was successfully implemented under mild conditions.

Highly Efficient Gold(I)-Catalyzed Regio- and Stereoselective Hydrocarboxylation of Internal Alkynes.

Project description:We report the highly efficient gold-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of internal alkynes that operates under solvent- and silver-free conditions. This new, simple, and eco-friendly protocol allows for the synthesis of a wide variety of functionalized aryl and alkyl enol esters in high yields, with Z-stereospecificity and good regioselectivities and without the requirement for purification by chromatography. This process represents an expedient, operationally simple method for the synthesis of enol esters.

Stereoselective Gold(I)-Catalyzed Intermolecular Hydroalkoxlation of Alkynes.

Project description:We report the use of cationic gold complexes [Au(NHC)(CH3CN)][BF4] and [{Au(NHC)}2(?-OH)][BF4] (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) as highly active catalysts in the solvent-free hydroalkoxylation of internal alkynes using primary and secondary alcohols. Using this simple protocol, a broad range of (Z)-vinyl ethers were obtained in excellent yields and high stereoselectivities. The methodology allows for the use of catalyst loadings as low as 200 ppm for the addition of primary alcohols to internal alkynes (TON = 35 000, TOF = 2188 h-1).

Gold-Catalyzed Hydrofluorination of Electron-Deficient Alkynes: Stereoselective Synthesis of ?-Fluoro Michael Acceptors.

Project description:The gold(I)-catalyzed, stereoselective hydrofluorination of electron-deficient alkynes with triethylamine trihydrogen fluoride (Et3N·3HF) is described. Fluorinated ?,?-unsaturated aldehydes, amides, esters, ketones, and nitriles were isolated in moderate to good yields as single diastereomers. In all but four cases, the (Z)-vinyl fluorides were initially formed in ?97% diastereoselectivity. This work constitutes the first catalytic example of the diastereoselective preparation of a variety of ?-alkyl, ?-fluoro Michael acceptors from alkynes. Additionally, the described work expands access to ?-aryl, ?-fluoro Michael acceptors to the synthesis of ?-fluoro-?,?-unsaturated amides and nitriles. The monofluoroalkenes formed through this strategy were readily transformed into other fluorine-containing compounds, and the developed method was applied to the synthesis of a fluorinated analogue of Exoderil, a topical antimycotic.

Oxidant speciation and anionic ligand effects in the gold-catalyzed oxidative coupling of arenes and alkynes.

Project description:The mechanism of the gold-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling of arenes and alkynes has been studied in detail combining stoichiometric experiments with putative reaction intermediates and DFT calculations. Our data suggest that ligand exchange between the alkyne, the Au(i)-catalyst and the hypervalent iodine reagent is responsible for the formation of both an Au(i)-acetylide complex and a more reactive "non-symmetric" I(iii) oxidant responsible for the crucial Au(i)/Au(iii) turnover. Further, the reactivity of the in situ generated Au(iii)-acetylide complex is governed by the nature of the anionic ligands transferred by the I(iii) oxidant: while halogen ligands remain unreactive, acetato ligands are efficiently displaced by the arene to yield the observed Csp2-Csp cross-coupling products through an irreversible reductive elimination step. Finally, the nature of competitive processes and catalyst deactivation pathways has also been unraveled. This detailed investigation provides insights not only on the specific features of the species involved in oxidative gold-catalyzed cross couplings but also highlights the importance of both ancillary and anionic ligands in the reactivity of the key Au(iii) intermediates.

Stereoselective cobalt-catalyzed halofluoroalkylation of alkynes.

Project description:Stereoselective additions of highly functionalized reagents to available unsaturated hydrocarbons are an attractive synthetic tool due to their high atom economy, modularity, and rapid generation of complexity. We report efficient cobalt-catalyzed (E)-halofluoroalkylations of alkynes/alkenes that enable the construction of densely functionalized, stereodefined fluorinated hydrocarbons. The mild conditions (2 mol% cat., 20 °C, acetone/water, 3 h) tolerate various functional groups, i.e. halides, alcohols, aldehydes, nitriles, esters, and heteroarenes. This reaction is the first example of a highly stereoselective cobalt-catalyzed halo-fluoroalkylation. Unlike related cobalt-catalyzed reductive couplings and Heck-type reactions, it operates via a radical chain mechanism involving terminal halogen atom transfer which obviates the need for a stoichiometric sacrificial reductant.

Silver-Catalyzed Stereoselective Aminosulfonylation of Alkynes.

Project description:A silver-catalyzed intermolecular aminosulfonylation of terminal alkynes with sodium sulfinates and TMSN3 is reported. This three-component reaction proceeds through sequential hydroazidation of the terminal alkyne and addition of a sulfonyl radical to the resultant vinyl azide. The method enables the stereoselective synthesis of a wide range of ?-sulfonyl enamines without electron-withdrawing groups on the nitrogen atom. These enamines are found to be suitable for a variety of further transformations.

A general ligand design for gold catalysis allowing ligand-directed anti-nucleophilic attack of alkynes.

Project description:Most homogenous gold catalyses demand ? 0.5 mol% catalyst loading. Owing to the high cost of gold, these reactions are unlikely to be applicable in medium- or large-scale applications. Here we disclose a novel ligand design based on the privileged (1,1'-biphenyl)-2-ylphosphine framework that offers a potentially general approach to dramatically lowering catalyst loading. In this design, an amide group at the 3'-position of the ligand framework directs and promotes nucleophilic attack at the ligand gold complex-activated alkyne, which is unprecedented in homogenous gold catalysis considering the spatial challenge of using ligand to reach anti-approaching nucleophile in a linear P-Au-alkyne centroid structure. With such a ligand, the gold(I) complex becomes highly efficient in catalysing acid addition to alkynes, with a turnover number up to 99,000. Density functional theory calculations support the role of the amide moiety in directing the attack of carboxylic acid via hydrogen bonding.
