Cyclopentene Annulations of Alkene Radical Cations with Vinyl Diazo Species Using Photocatalysis.

ABSTRACT: A direct (3+2) cycloaddition between alkenes and vinyl diazo reagents using either Cr or Ru photocatalysis is described. The intermediacy of a radical cation species enables a nucleophilic interception by vinyl diazo compounds, a departure from their traditional electrophilic behavior. A variety of cyclopentenes are synthesized using this method, and experimental insights implicate a direct cycloaddition instead of a cyclopropanation/rearrangement process.

Diaryldichalcogenide radical cations.

Project description:One-electron oxidation of two series of diaryldichalcogenides (C6F5E)2 (13a-c) and (2,6-Mes2C6H3E)2 (16a-c) was studied (E = S, Se, Te). The reaction of 13a and 13b with AsF5 and SbF5 gave rise to the formation of thermally unstable radical cations [(C6F5S)2]˙+ (14a) and [(C6F5Se)2]˙+ (14b) that were isolated as [Sb2F11]- and [As2F11]- salts, respectively. The reaction of 13c with AsF5 afforded only the product of a Te-C bond cleavage, namely the previously known dication [Te4]2+ that was isolated as [AsF6]- salt. The reaction of (2,6-Mes2C6H3E)2 (16a-c) with [NO][SbF6] provided the corresponding radical cations [(2,6-Mes2C6H3E)2]˙+ (17a-c; E = S, Se, Te) in the form of thermally stable [SbF6]- salts in nearly quantitative yields. The electronic and structural properties of these radical cations were probed by X-ray diffraction analysis, EPR spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations and other methods.

Alkyne-Alkene [2?+?2] cycloaddition based on visible light photocatalysis.

Project description:UV-activated alkyne-alkene [2?+?2] cycloaddition has served as an important tool to access cyclobutenes. Although broadly adopted, the limitations with UV light as an energy source prompted us to explore an alternative method. Here we report alkyne-alkene [2?+?2] cycloaddition based on visible light photocatalysis allowing the synthesis of diverse cyclobutenes and 1,3-dienes via inter- and intramolecular reactions. Extensive mechanistic studies suggest that the localized spin densities at sp2 carbons of alkenes account for the productive sensitization of alkenes despite their similar triplet levels of alkenes and alkynes. Moreover, the efficient formation of 1,3-dienes via tandem triplet activation of the resulting cyclobutenes is observed when intramolecular enyne cycloaddition is performed, which may serve as a complementary means to the Ru(II)-catalyzed enyne metathesis. In addition, the utility of the [2?+?2] cycloaddition has been demonstrated by several synthetic transformations including synthesis of various extended ?-systems.

Alkene 1,2-Difunctionalization by Radical Alkenyl Migration.

Project description:Transition-metal-free radical ?-perfluoroalkylation with the accompanying vicinal ?-alkenylation of unactivated alkenes is presented. These radical cascades proceed by means of 1,4- or 1,5-alkenyl migration by electron catalysis on readily accessed allylic alcohols. The reactions comprise a regioselective perfluoroalkyl radical addition with subsequent alkenyl migration and concomitant deprotonation to generate a ketyl radical anion that sustains the chain as a single-electron-transfer reducing reagent.

Migratory Aptitudes in Rearrangements of Destabilized Vinyl Cations.

Project description:The Lewis acid-promoted generation of destabilized vinyl cations from β-hydroxy diazo ketones leads to an energetically favorable 1,2-shift across the alkene followed by an irreversible C-H insertion to give cyclopentenone products. This reaction sequence overcomes typical challenges of counter-ion trapping and rearrangement reversibility of vinyl cations and has been used to study the migratory aptitudes of nonequivalent substituents in an uncommon C(sp2) to C(sp) vinyl cation rearrangement. The migratory aptitude trends were consistent with those observed in other cationic rearrangements; the substituent that can best stabilize a cation more readily migrates. However, density functional theory calculations show that the situation is more complex. Selectivity in the formation of one conformational isomer of the vinyl cation and facial selective migration across the alkene due to an electrostatic interaction between the vinyl cation and the adjacent carbonyl oxygen work in concert to determine which group migrates. This study provides valuable insight into predicting migration preferences when applying this methodology to the synthesis of structurally complex cyclopentenones that are differentially substituted at the α and β positions.

Intramolecular Vinylation of Aryl Rings by Vinyl Cations.

Project description:A Lewis acid mediated intramolecular electrophilic vinylation of aryl rings by vinyl cations is reported. This reaction takes advantage of β-hydroxy-α-diazo ketones as vinyl cation precursors and provides good yields of tricyclic 1-indenones that contain a seven-membered ring. Extending the alkane chain that tethers the vinyl cation to the aromatic ring leads to 2-napthol and 2-indenone products.

Visible-light sensitization of vinyl azides by transition-metal photocatalysis.

Project description:Irradiation of vinyl and aryl azides with visible light in the presence of Ru photocatalysts results in the formation of reactive nitrenes, which can undergo a variety of C-N bond-forming reactions. The ability to use low-energy visible light instead of UV in the photochemical activation of azides avoids competitive photodecomposition processes that have long been a significant limitation on the synthetic use of these reactions.

Stereocontrolled Synthesis of Vinyl Boronates and Vinyl Silanes via Atom-Economical Ruthenium-Catalyzed Alkene-Alkyne Coupling.

Project description:The synthesis of vinyl boronates and vinyl silanes was achieved by employing a Ru-catalyzed alkene-alkyne coupling reaction of allyl boronates or allyl silanes with various alkynes. The double bond geometry in the generated vinyl boronates can be remotely controlled by the juxtaposing boron- and silicon groups on the alkyne substrate. The synthetic utility of the coupling products has been demonstrated in a variety of synthetic transformations, including iterative cross-coupling reactions, and a Chan-Lam-type allyloxylation followed by a Claisen rearrangement. A sequential one-pot alkene-alkyne-coupling/allylation-sequence with an aldehyde to deliver a highly complex ?-silyl-?-hydroxy olefin with a handle for further functionalization was also realized.

Crystalline boron-linked tetraaminoethylene radical cations.

Project description:Single-electron oxidation of neutral boryl-linked tetraaminoethylene derivatives 4 led to the formation of radical cations 4?+ , which have been isolated and fully characterized. X-ray diffraction analysis, EPR spectroscopy, and computational studies revealed that the unpaired electron is delocalized over the B2N4C2 skeleton and the spin density mainly resides on the carbon and boron atoms.

Crystalline Divinyldiarsene Radical Cations and Dications.

Project description:The divinyldiarsene radical cations [{(NHC)C(Ph)}As]2 (GaCl4 ) (NHC=IPr: C{(NDipp)CH}2 3; SIPr: C{(NDipp)CH2 }2 4; Dipp=2,6-iPr2 C6 H3 ) and dications [{(NHC)C(Ph)}As]2 (GaCl4 )2 (NHC=IPr 5; SIPr 6) are readily accessible as crystalline solids on sequential one-electron oxidation of the corresponding divinyldiarsenes [{(NHC)C(Ph)}As]2 (NHC=IPr 1; SIPr 2) with GaCl3 . Compounds 3-6 have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, cyclic voltammetry, EPR/NMR spectroscopy, and UV/vis absorption spectroscopy as well as DFT calculations. The sequential removal of one electron from the HOMO, that is mainly the As-As ?-bond, of 1 and 2 leads to successive elongation of the As=As bond and contraction of the C-As bonds from 1/2?3/4?5/6. The UV/vis spectrum of 3 and 4 each exhibits a strong absorption in the visible region associated with SOMO-related transitions. The EPR spectrum of 3 and 4 each shows a broadened septet owing to coupling of the unpaired electron with two 75 As (I=3/2) nuclei.

Iodine-catalyzed diazo activation to access radical reactivity.

Project description:Transition-metal-catalyzed diazo activation is a classical way to generate metal carbene, which are valuable intermediates in synthetic organic chemistry. An alternative iodine-catalyzed diazo activation is disclosed herein under either photo-initiated or thermal-initiated conditions, which represents an approach to enable carbene radical reactivity. This metal-free diazo activation strategy were successfully applied into olefin cyclopropanation and epoxidation, and applying this method to pyrrole synthesis under thermal-initiated conditions further demonstrates the unique reactivity using this method over typical metal-catalyzed conditions.
