Photoredox-mediated remote C(sp³)-H heteroarylation of free alcohols.

ABSTRACT: We report an efficient and economical method for remote ? C(sp³)-H heteroarylation of free aliphatic alcohols using a hypervalent iodine PFBI-OH oxidant under photoredox catalysis. The reaction sequence involves in situ alcoholysis of PFBI-OH with alcohol, generation of an alkoxy radical intermediate by SET reduction, 1,5-HAT, and Minisci-type C-C bond formation. This method uses a slight excess of alcohols, can facilitate reaction at ? methyl and methylene positions, and has been successfully applied to modification of complex drug molecules.

Site-selective remote C(sp3)-H heteroarylation of amides via organic photoredox catalysis.

Project description:Radical translocation processes triggered by nitrogen-centered radicals (NCRs), such as 1,5-hydrogen atom transfers (1,5-HAT), demonstrated by the well-established Hofmann-Löffler-Freytag (HLF) reaction, provide an attractive approach for the controllable and selective functionalization of remote inert C(sp3)-H bonds. Here we report an amidyl radical-triggered site-selective remote C(sp3)-H heteroarylation of amides under organic photoredox conditions. This approach provides a mild and highly regioselective reaction affording remote C(sp3)-H heteroarylated amides at room temperature under transition-metal free, weakly basic, and redox-neutral conditions. Non-prefunctionalized heteroarenes, such as purines, thiazolopyridines, benzoxazole, benzothiazoles, benzothiophene, benzofuran, thiazoles and quinoxalines, can be alkylated directly. Sequential and orthogonal C-H functionalization of different heteroarenes by taking advantage pH value or polarity of radicals has also been achieved. DFT calculations explain and can predict the site-selectivity and reactivity of this reaction. This strategy expands the scope of the Minisci reaction and serves as its alternative and potential complement.

Practical, metal-free remote heteroarylation of amides via unactivated C(sp3)-H bond functionalization.

Project description:Development of practical methods for the production of multi-functionalized amides is one of the most important topics in both synthetic chemistry and drug discovery. Disclosed herein is a new, efficient, site-selective heteroarylation of amides via C(sp3)-H bond functionalization. Amidyl radicals are directly generated from the amide N-H bonds under mild conditions, which trigger the subsequent 1,5-HAT process. A wide scope of aliphatic amides including carboxamides, sulfonamides, and phosphoramides are readily modified at remote C(sp3)-H bonds by installing diverse heteroaryl groups. Borne out of pragmatic consideration, this protocol can be used for the late-stage functionalization of amides.

Electro-mediated PhotoRedox Catalysis for Selective C(sp3 )-O Cleavages of Phosphinated Alcohols to Carbanions.

Project description:We report a novel example of electro-mediated photoredox catalysis (e-PRC) in the reductive cleavage of C(sp3 )-O bonds of phosphinated alcohols to alkyl carbanions. As well as deoxygenations, olefinations are reported which are E-selective and can be made Z-selective in a tandem reduction/photosensitization process where both steps are photoelectrochemically promoted. Spectroscopy, computation, and catalyst structural variations reveal that our new naphthalene monoimide-type catalyst allows for an intimate dispersive precomplexation of its radical anion form with the phosphinate substrate, facilitating a reactivity-determining C(sp3 )-O cleavage. Surprisingly and in contrast to previously reported photoexcited radical anion chemistries, our conditions tolerate aryl chlorides/bromides and do not give rise to Birch-type reductions.

Transition metal-free visible light photoredox-catalyzed remote C(sp3)-H borylation enabled by 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer.

Project description:The borylation of unreactive carbon-hydrogen bonds is a valuable method for transforming feedstock chemicals into versatile building blocks. Here, we describe a transition metal-free method for the photoredox-catalyzed borylation of unactivated C(sp3)-H bond, initiated by 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT). The remote borylation was directed by 1,5-HAT of the amidyl radical, which was generated by photocatalytic reduction of hydroxamic acid derivatives. The method accommodates substrates with primary, secondary and tertiary C(sp3)-H bonds, yielding moderate to good product yields (up to 92%) with tolerance for various functional groups. Mechanistic studies, including radical clock experiments and DFT calculations, provided detailed insight into the 1,5-HAT borylation process.

Metal-free, photoinduced remote C(sp3)-H borylation.

Project description:Here, we describe a protocol for the metal-free, photo-induced borylation of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds distal to an O-oxalate hydroxamic ester functionality. The methodology requires only substrate and bis(catecholato)diboron under light irradiation to effect the desired transformation. A range of linear and cyclic tertiary and secondary borylation products are obtained in good yields and high site-selectivity enabling the late-stage C(sp3)-H borylation of natural product derivatives and drug-like compounds.

Decatungstate-Mediated C(sp3 )-H Heteroarylation via Radical-Polar Crossover in Batch and Flow.

Project description:Photocatalytic hydrogen atom transfer is a very powerful strategy for the regioselective C(sp3 )-H functionalization of organic molecules. Herein, we report on the unprecedented combination of decatungstate hydrogen atom transfer photocatalysis with the oxidative radical-polar crossover concept to access the direct net-oxidative C(sp3 )-H heteroarylation. The present methodology demonstrates a high functional group tolerance (40 examples) and is scalable when using continuous-flow reactor technology. The developed protocol is also amenable to the late-stage functionalization of biologically relevant molecules such as stanozolol, (-)-ambroxide, podophyllotoxin, and dideoxyribose.

Photoredox mediated nickel catalyzed C(sp3)-H thiocarbonylation of ethers.

Project description:The first direct C(sp3)-H thiocarbonylation reaction is achieved by visible light photoredox/Ni dual catalysis. The thioester group of thiobenzoate is transferred to the ?-oxy carbon of various cyclic/acyclic ethers, which is the opposite to the commonly expected chemical reactivity involving acyl group transfer via the weaker C(acyl)-S activation. Through mechanistic studies, we proposed that the reaction is initiated by photocatalytic reduction and fragmentation of the thioester into an acyl radical and a thiolate. A nickel complex binds to the thiolate and induces the decarbonylation of the acyl radical to form an aryl radical, which abstracts hydrogen from the ?-oxy carbon of the ether. The resulting ?-oxy C(sp3) centered radical re-binds to the (RS)(CO)Ni complex, which undergoes CO migratory insertion and reductive elimination to give the desired thioester product.

This protocol features a predictable reactivity and site selectivity that can be modulated by the ligand backbone. Preliminary studies reinforce a rationale based on a dynamic displacement of the catalyst throughout the alkyl side chain.

Metal-free alcohol-directed regioselective heteroarylation of remote unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds.

Project description:Construction of C-C bonds via alkoxy radical-mediated remote C(sp3)-H functionalization is largely unexplored, as it is a formidable challenge to directly generate alkoxy radicals from alcohols due to the high bond dissociation energy (BDE) of O-H bonds. Disclosed herein is a practical and elusive metal-free alcohol-directed heteroarylation of remote unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds. Phenyliodine bis(trifluoroacetate) (PIFA) is used as the only reagent to enable the coupling of alcohols and heteroaryls. Alkoxy radicals are readily generated from free alcohols under the irradiation of visible light, which trigger the regioselective hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT). A wide range of functional groups are compatible with the mild reaction conditions. Two unactivated C-H bonds are cleaved and one new C-C bond is constructed during the reaction. This protocol provides an efficient strategy for the late-stage functionalization of alcohols and heteroaryls.
