Terminal Alkyne Coupling Reactions through a Ring: Mechanistic Insights and Regiochemical Switching.

ABSTRACT: The mechanism and selectivity of terminal alkyne coupling reactions promoted by rhodium(I) complexes of NHC-based CNC pincer ligands have been investigated. Synthetic and kinetic experiments support E- and gem-enyne formation through a common reaction sequence involving hydrometallation and rate-determining C-C bond reductive elimination. The latter is significantly affected by the ligand topology: Employment of a macrocyclic variant enforced exclusive head-to-head coupling, contrasting the high selectivity for head-to-tail coupling observed for the corresponding acyclic pincer ligand.

Reactions of Nickel(0)-Olefin Pincer Complexes with Terminal Alkynes: Cooperative C-H Bond Activation and Alkyne Coupling.

Project description:Metal-ligand cooperation can facilitate the activation of chemical bonds, opening reaction pathways of interest for catalyst development. In this context, olefins occupying the central position of a diphosphine pincer ligand (PC=CP) are emerging as reversible H atom acceptors, e.g., for H2 activation. Here, we report on the reactivity of nickel complexes of PC=CP ligands with a terminal alkyne, for which two competing pathways are observed. First, cooperative and reversible C-H bond activation generates a Ni(II) alkyl/alkynyl complex as the kinetic product. Second, in the absence of a bulky substituent on the olefin, two alkyne molecules are incorporated in the ligand structure to form a conjugated triene bound to Ni(0). The mechanisms of these processes are studied by density functional theory calculations supported by experimental observations.

Synthesis of a biotin-derived alkyne for pd-catalyzed coupling reactions.

Project description:[reaction: see text] An efficient synthesis of a terminal alkyne derived from d-biotin was developed to provide an alternative for carboxyl-based biotinylation. This approach was illustrated by the preparation of alkyne- and alkene-linked phenylalanine derivatives using palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira and Oh methodology. (Strept)avidin binding was observed using soluble and immobilized receptors. These results demonstrate the applicability of carbon-linked biotin derivatives for use in affinity-based purification and bioanalytical applications.

Revised Mechanism for a Ruthenium-Catalyzed Coupling of Aldehyde and Terminal Alkyne.

Project description:Ruthenium catalysts have been found to be of great use for many kinds of reactions. Understanding the details of the catalytic cycle allows to not only rationalize experimental results but also to improve upon reactions. Herein, we present a detailed computational study of a ruthenium-catalyzed coupling between a terminal alkyne and an aldehyde. The reaction under examination facilitates novel access to olefins with the concurrent loss of a single carbon as carbon monoxide. The reaction was first developed in 2009, but the tentative mechanism initially proposed was proven to be contradictory to some experimental data obtained since then. Using a combination of computational investigations and isotope-labeling experiments, several potential mechanisms have been studied. In contrast to the [2+2] cycloaddition mechanism suggested for similar catalysts, we propose a new consensus pathway that proceeds through the formation of a ruthenium-vinylidene complex that undergoes an aldol-type reaction with the aldehyde to yield the product olefins. Computational insights into the influence of different reagents used to optimize reaction conditions and the intricacies of decarbonylation of a Ru-CO complex affecting catalyst turnover are highlighted.

Mechanism and transition-state structures for nickel-catalyzed reductive alkyne-aldehyde coupling reactions.

Project description:The mechanism of nickel-catalyzed reductive alkyne-aldehyde coupling reactions has been investigated using density functional theory. The preferred mechanism involves oxidative cyclization to form the nickeladihydrofuran intermediate followed by transmetalation and reductive elimination. The rate- and selectivity-determining oxidative cyclization transition state is analyzed in detail. The d --> pi*(perpendicular) back-donation stabilizes the transition state and leads to higher reactivity for alkynes than alkenes. Strong Lewis acids accelerate the couplings with both alkynes and alkenes by coordinating with the aldehyde oxygen in the transition state.

Mechanistic insights into boron-catalysed direct amidation reactions.

Project description:The generally accepted monoacyloxyboron mechanism of boron-catalysed direct amidation is brought into question in this study, and new alternatives are proposed. We have carried out a detailed investigation of boron-catalysed amidation reactions, through study of the interaction between amines/carboxylic acids and borinic acids, boronic acids and boric acid, and have isolated and characterised by NMR/X-ray crystallography many of the likely intermediates present in catalytic amidation reactions. Rapid reaction between amines and boron compounds was observed in all cases, and it is proposed that such boron-nitrogen interactions are highly likely to take place in catalytic amidation reactions. These studies also clearly show that borinic acids are not competent catalysts for amidation, as they either form unreactive amino-carboxylate complexes, or undergo protodeboronation to give boronic acids. It therefore seems that at least three free coordination sites on the boron atom are necessary for amidation catalysis to occur. However, these observations are not consistent with the currently accepted 'mechanism' for boron-mediated amidation reactions involving nucleophilic attack of an amine onto a monomeric acyloxyboron intermediate, and as a result of our observations and theoretical modelling, alternative proposed mechanisms are presented for boron-mediated amidation reactions. These are likely to proceed via the formation of a dimeric B-X-B motif (X = O, NR), which is uniquely able to provide activation of the carboxylic acid, whilst orchestrating the delivery of the amine nucleophile to the carbonyl group. Quantum mechanical calculations of catalytic cycles at the B3LYP+D3/Def2-TZVPP level (solvent = CH2Cl2) support the proposal of several closely related potential pathways for amidation, all of which are likely to be lower in energy than the currently accepted mechanism.

Constraining an Irregular Peptide Secondary Structure through Ring-Closing Alkyne Metathesis.

Project description:Macrocyclization can be used to constrain peptides in their bioactive conformations, thereby supporting target affinity and bioactivity. In particular, for the targeting of challenging protein-protein interactions, macrocyclic peptides have proven to be very useful. Available approaches focus on the stabilization of α-helices, which limits their general applicability. Here we report for the first time on the use of ring-closing alkyne metathesis for the stabilization of an irregular peptide secondary structure. A small library of alkyne-crosslinked peptides provided a number of derivatives with improved target affinity relative to the linear parent peptide. In addition, we report the crystal structure of the highest-affinity derivative in a complex with its protein target 14-3-3ζ. It can be expected that the alkyne-based macrocyclization of irregular binding epitopes should give rise to new scaffolds suitable for targeting of currently intractable proteins.

Reassessing Alkyne Coupling Reactions While Studying the Electronic Properties of Diverse Pyrene Linkages at Surfaces.

Project description:The combination of alkyne and halogen functional groups in the same molecule allows for the possibility of many different reactions when utilized in on-surface synthesis. Here, we use a pyrene-based precursor with both functionalities to examine the preferential reaction pathway when it is heated on an Au(111) surface. Using high-resolution bond-resolving scanning tunneling microscopy, we identify multiple stable intermediates along the prevailing reaction pathway that initiate with a clearly dominant Glaser coupling, together with a multitude of other side products. Importantly, control experiments with reactants lacking the halogen functionalization reveal the Glaser coupling to be absent and instead show the prevalence of non-dehydrogenative head-to-head alkyne coupling. We perform scanning tunneling spectroscopy on a rich variety of the product structures obtained in these experiments, providing key insights into the strong dependence of their HOMO-LUMO gaps on the nature of the intramolecular coupling. A clear trend is found of a decreasing gap that is correlated with the conversion of triple bonds to double bonds via hydrogenation and to higher levels of cyclization, particularly with nonbenzenoid product structures. We rationalize each of the studied cases.
