Copper-Catalyzed Dual Cyclization for the Synthesis of Quinindolines.

Project description:A synthetic approach to quinindoline derivatives by the Cu-catalyzed dual cyclization has been developed. This catalytic reaction is a practical method for the systematic synthesis of quinindoline core structure, which contains a limited-step synthetic strategy and can tolerant a wide variety of substituents. In addition, the mechanistic study reveals that the reaction initiates from a Lewis acid accelerated addition of aniline to nitrile and provides the indole substructure, and then the subsequent Cu-catalyzed C-N coupling reaction furnishes the quinoline subunit and affords the quinindoline structure.

A general method for copper-catalyzed arene cross-dimerization.

Project description:A general method for a highly regioselective copper-catalyzed cross-coupling of two aromatic compounds using iodine as an oxidant has been developed. The reactions involve an initial iodination of one arene followed by arylation of the most acidic C-H bond of the other coupling component. Cross-coupling of electron-rich arenes, electron-poor arenes, and five- and six-membered heterocycles is possible in many combinations. Typically, a 1/1.5 to 1/3 ratio of coupling components is used, in contrast to existing methodology that often employs a large excess of one of the arenes. Common functionalities such as ester, ketone, aldehyde, ether, nitrile, nitro, and amine are well-tolerated.

Enantioselective Copper-Catalyzed Borylative Cyclization for the Synthesis of Quinazolinones.

Project description:Quinazolinones are common substructures in molecules of medicinal importance. We report an enantioselective copper-catalyzed borylative cyclization for the assembly of privileged pyrroloquinazolinone motifs. The reaction proceeds with high enantio- and diastereocontrol, and can deliver products containing quaternary stereocenters. The utility of the products is demonstrated through further manipulations.

Copper-Catalyzed Homo-Dimerization of Nitronates and Enolates under Oxygen Atmosphere.

Project description:A method for copper-catalyzed oxidative dimerization of nitronates and enolates using oxygen as terminal oxidant has been developed. Cyclization through oxidative intramolecular coupling is also feasible for both nitronates and enolates. The mild reaction conditions lead to good functional group tolerance.

Enantioselective copper-catalyzed construction of aryl pyrroloindolines via an arylation-cyclization cascade.

Project description:An enantioselective arylation-cyclization cascade has been accomplished using a combination of diaryliodonium salts and asymmetric copper catalysis. These mild catalytic conditions provide a new strategy for the enantioselective construction of pyrroloindolines, an important alkaloid structural motif that is commonly found among biologically active natural products.

Mechanistic analysis of a copper-catalyzed C-H oxidative cyclization of carboxylic acids.

Project description:We recently reported that carboxylic acids can be oxidized to lactone products by potassium persulfate and catalytic copper acetate. Here, we unravel the mechanism for this C-H functionalization reaction using desorption electrospray ionization, online electrospray ionization, and tandem mass spectrometry. Our findings suggest that electron transfer from a transient benzylic radical intermediate reduces Cu(ii) to Cu(i), which is then re-oxidized to Cu(ii) in the catalytic cycle. The resulting benzylic carbocation is trapped by the pendant carboxylate group to give the lactone product. Formation of the putative benzylic carbocation is supported by Hammett analysis. The proposed mechanism for this copper-catalyzed oxidative cyclization process differs from earlier reports of analogous reactions, which posit a substrate carboxylate radical as the reactive oxidant.

Copper-catalyzed asymmetric cyclization of alkenyl diynes: method development and new mechanistic insights.

Project description:Metal carbenes have proven to be one of the most important and useful intermediates in organic synthesis, but catalytic asymmetric reactions involving metal carbenes are still scarce and remain a challenge. Particularly, the mechanistic pathway and chiral induction model in these asymmetric transformations are far from clear. Described herein is a copper-catalyzed asymmetric cyclization of alkenyl diynes involving a vinylic C(sp2)-H functionalization, which constitutes the first asymmetric vinylic C(sp2)-H functionalization through cyclopentannulation. Significantly, based on extensive mechanistic studies including control experiments and theoretical calculations, a revised mechanism involving a novel type of endocyclic copper carbene via remote-stereocontrol is proposed, thus providing new mechanistic insight into the copper-catalyzed asymmetric diyne cyclization and representing a new chiral control pattern in asymmetric catalysis based on remote-stereocontrol and vinyl cations. This method enables the practical and atom-economical construction of an array of valuable chiral polycyclic-pyrroles in high yields and enantioselectivities.

Unlocking a self-catalytic cycle in a copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative coupling/cyclization reaction.

Project description:Presented here is a copper-catalyzed, aerobic oxidative C-H/C-H cyclization reaction, which occurs by cleaving the C-H and N-H bonds of 3-phenylindoles. A broad range of 3-phenylindoles can be well tolerated to produce the indole-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in good to excellent yields. An evaluation of the reaction mechanism is enabled by the isolation of the di- and tri-indole intermediates, highlighting the role of the substrate for this catalytic reaction. The results of these controlled experiments and kinetic studies provide solid experimental support for a self-catalysis reaction, which has rarely been observed in oxidative C-H activation reactions. Additional mechanistic studies indicate that the substrate for this reaction accelerates by the following mechanism: The substrate combines with the Cu catalyst to transform the less active di-indole intermediate into a tri-indole intermediate. This intermediate is quickly converted into the desired product along with regeneration of the substrate copper complex.

Copper-catalyzed oxidative benzylic C-H cyclization via iminyl radical from intermolecular anion-radical redox relay.

Project description:Base-promoted C-H cleavage without transition metals opens a practical alternative for the one based on noble metals or radical initiators. The resulting carbanion can pass through radical addition to unsaturated bonds like C-N or C-C triple bonds, in which stoichiometric oxidants are needed. When in situ C-H cleavage meets catalytic carbanion-radical relay, it turns to be challenging but has not been accomplished yet. Here we report the combination of base-promoted benzylic C-H cleavage and copper-catalyzed carbanion-radical redox relay. Catalytic amount of naturally abundant and inexpensive copper salt, such as copper(II) sulfate, is used for anion-radical redox relay without any external oxidant. By avoiding using N-O/N-N homolysis or radical initiators to generate iminyl radicals, this strategy realizes modular synthesis of N-H indoles and analogs from abundant feedstocks, such as toluene and nitrile derivatives, and also enables rapid synthesis of large scale pharmaceuticals.
