Catalytic asymmetric allylation of aldehydes with alkenes through allylic C(sp³)-H functionalization mediated by organophotoredox and chiral chromium hybrid catalysis.

ABSTRACT: We describe a hybrid system that realizes cooperativity between an organophotoredox acridinium catalyst and a chiral chromium complex catalyst, thereby enabling unprecedented exploitation of unactivated hydrocarbon alkenes as precursors to chiral allylchromium nucleophiles for asymmetric allylation of aldehydes. The reaction proceeds under visible light irradiation at room temperature, affording the corresponding homoallylic alcohols with a diastereomeric ratio >20/1 and up to 99% ee. The addition of Mg(ClO₄)₂ markedly enhanced both the reactivity and enantioselectivity.

Counterion-Enhanced Pd/Enamine Catalysis: Direct Asymmetric α-Allylation of Aldehydes with Allylic Alcohols by Chiral Amines and Achiral or Racemic Phosphoric Acids.

Project description:We report a straightforward and efficient Pd/enamine catalytic procedure for the direct asymmetric α-allylation of branched aldehydes. The use of simple chiral amines and easily prepared achiral or racemic phosphoric acids, together with a suitable Pd-source resulted in a highly active and enantioselective catalyst system for the allylation of various α-branched aldehydes with different allylic alcohols. The reported procedure could provide an easy access to both product antipodes. Furthermore, two possible orthogonal derivatizations of the enantioenriched aldehydes were performed without any decrease in enantioselectivity.

Electrochemically Generated Carbanions Enable Isomerizing Allylation and Allenylation of Aldehydes with Alkenes and Alkynes.

Project description:The direct coupling of aldehydes with petrochemical feedstock alkenes and alkynes would represent a practical and streamlined approach for allylation and allenylation chemistry. However, conventional approaches commonly require preactivated substrates or strong bases to generate allylic or propargylic carbanions and only afford branched allylation or propargylation products. Developing a mild and selective approach to access synthetically useful linear allylation and allenylation products is highly desirable, albeit with formidable challenges. We report a strategy using hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) to generate a carbanion from weakly acidic sp3 C-H bonds (pKa ∼ 35-40) under mild reaction conditions, obviating the use of strong bases, Schlenk techniques, and multistep procedures. The cathodically generated carbanion reverses the typical reaction selectivity to afford unconventional isomerizing allylation and allenylation products (125 examples). The generation of carbanions was monitored and identified by in situ ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroelectrochemistry. Furthermore, we extended this protocol to the generation of other carbanions and their application in coupling reactions between alcohols with carbanions. The appealing features of this approach include mild reaction conditions, excellent functional group tolerance, unconventional chemo- and regioselectivity, and the diverse utility of products, which includes offering direct access to diene luminophores and bioactive scaffolds. We also performed cyclic voltammetry, control experiments, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to rationalize the observed reaction selectivity and mechanism.

Catalytic allylic oxidation of internal alkenes to a multifunctional chiral building block.

Project description:The stereoselective oxidation of hydrocarbons is one of the most notable advances in synthetic chemistry over the past fifty years. Inspired by nature, enantioselective dihydroxylations, epoxidations and other oxidations of unsaturated hydrocarbons have been developed. More recently, the catalytic enantioselective allylic carbon-hydrogen oxidation of alkenes has streamlined the production of pharmaceuticals, natural products, fine chemicals and other functional materials. Allylic functionalization provides a direct path to chiral building blocks with a newly formed stereocentre from petrochemical feedstocks while preserving the olefin functionality as a handle for further chemical elaboration. Various metal-based catalysts have been discovered for the enantioselective allylic carbon-hydrogen oxidation of simple alkenes with cyclic or terminal double bonds. However, a general and selective allylic oxidation using the more common internal alkenes remains elusive. Here we report the enantioselective, regioselective and E/Z-selective allylic oxidation of unactivated internal alkenes via a catalytic hetero-ene reaction with a chalcogen-based oxidant. Our method enables non-symmetric internal alkenes to be selectively converted into allylic functionalized products with high stereoselectivity and regioselectivity. Stereospecific transformations of the resulting multifunctional chiral building blocks highlight the potential for rapidly converting internal alkenes into a broad range of enantioenriched structures that can be used in the synthesis of complex target molecules.

Iridium-catalyzed allylation of chiral β-stereogenic alcohols: bypassing discrete formation of epimerizable aldehydes.

Project description:The cyclometalated π-allyliridium 3,4-dinitro-C,O-benzoate complex modified by (R)- or (S)-Cl,MeO-BIPHEP promotes the transfer hydrogenative coupling of allyl acetate to β-stereogenic alcohols with good to excellent levels of catalyst-directed diastereoselectivity to furnish homoallylic alcohols. Remote electronic effects of the C,O-benzoate of the catalyst play a critical role in suppressing epimerization of the transient α-stereogenic aldehyde.

Asymmetric 1,4-functionalization of 1,3-enynes via dual photoredox and chromium catalysis.

Project description:The merger of photoredox and transition-metal catalysis has evolved as a robust platform in organic synthesis over the past decade. The stereoselective 1,4-functionalization of 1,3-enynes, a prevalent synthon in synthetic chemistry, could afford valuable chiral allene derivatives. However, tremendous efforts have been focused on the ionic reaction pathway. The radical-involved asymmetric 1,4-functionalization of 1,3-enynes remains a prominent challenge. Herein, we describe the asymmetric three-component 1,4-dialkylation of 1,3-enynes via dual photoredox and chromium catalysis to provide chiral allenols. This method features readily available starting materials, broad substrate scope, good functional group compatibility, high regioselectivity, and simultaneous control of axial and central chiralities. Mechanistic studies suggest that this reaction proceeds through a radical-involved redox-neutral pathway.

The reaction works with high yields and stereoselectivities for α-methylalkenes. A proposed tosylnitrene-free catalytic cycle involving the formation of vanadoxaziridine complex 1 as the active catalyst and aminovanadation across the substrate as the rate-determining step has been proposed. Initial kinetic and competition experiments provide evidence for the proposed mechanism.

The Intramolecular Asymmetric Allylation of Aldehydes via Organo-SOMO Catalysis: A Novel Approach to Ring Construction.

Project description:The intramolecular asymmetric cyclization of aldehydes has been accomplished using singly occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) catalysis. Selective oxidation of chiral enamines (formed by the condensation of an aldehyde and a secondary amine catalyst) leads to the formation of a 3π-electron radical species. These chiral SOMO-activated radical cations undergo enantioselective cyclization with an array of pendent allylsilanes thus efficiently providing a new approach to the construction of five-, six- and seven-membered carbocycles and heterocycles.

Low-valent tungsten redox catalysis enables controlled isomerization and carbonylative functionalization of alkenes.

Project description:The controlled isomerization and functionalization of alkenes is a cornerstone achievement in organometallic catalysis that is now widely used throughout industry. In particular, the addition of CO and H2 to an alkene, also known as the oxo-process, is used in the production of linear aldehydes from crude alkene feedstocks. In these catalytic reactions, isomerization is governed by thermodynamics, giving rise to functionalization at the most stable alkylmetal species. Despite the ubiquitous industrial applications of tandem alkene isomerization/functionalization reactions, selective functionalization at internal positions has remained largely unexplored. Here we report that the simple W(0) precatalyst W(CO)6 catalyses the isomerization of alkenes to unactivated internal positions and subsequent hydrocarbonylation with CO. The six- to seven-coordinate geometry changes that are characteristic of the W(0)/W(II) redox cycle and the conformationally flexible directing group are key factors in allowing isomerization to take place over multiple positions and stop at a defined unactivated internal site that is primed for in situ functionalization.

Synergistic palladium/enamine catalysis for asymmetric hydrocarbon functionalization of unactivated alkenes with ketones.

Project description:Synergistic palladium and enamine catalysis was explored to promote ketone addition to unactivated olefins. A secondary amine-based organocatalyst was identified as the optimal co-catalyst for the directed Pd-catalyzed alkene activation. Furthermore, asymmetric hydrocarbon functionalization of unactivated alkenes was also achieved with good to excellent yield (up to 96% yields) and stereoselectivity (up to 96% ee). This strategy presented an efficient approach to prepare α-branched ketone derivatives under mild conditions.

Palladium-catalyzed regio- and enantioselective migratory allylic C(sp<sup>3</sup>)-H functionalization.

Project description:Transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution with a suitably pre-stored leaving group in the substrate is widely used in organic synthesis. In contrast, the enantioselective allylic C(sp3)-H functionalization is more straightforward but far less explored. Here we report a catalytic protocol for the long-standing challenging enantioselective allylic C(sp3)-H functionalization. Through palladium hydride-catalyzed chain-walking and allylic substitution, allylic C-H functionalization of a wide range of acyclic nonconjugated dienes is achieved in high yields (up to 93% yield), high enantioselectivities (up to 98:2 er), and with 100% atom efficiency. Exploring the reactivity of substrates with varying pKa values uncovers a reasonable scope of nucleophiles and potential factors controlling the reaction. A set of efficient downstream transformations to enantiopure skeletons showcase the practical value of the methodology. Mechanistic experiments corroborate the PdH-catalyzed asymmetric migratory allylic substitution process.
