Ketyl radical reactivity via atom transfer catalysis.

ABSTRACT: Single-electron reduction of a carbonyl to a ketyl enables access to a polarity-reversed platform of reactivity for this cornerstone functional group. However, the synthetic utility of the ketyl radical is hindered by the strong reductants necessary for its generation, which also limit its reactivity to net reductive mechanisms. We report a strategy for net redox-neutral generation and reaction of ketyl radicals. The in situ conversion of aldehydes to ?-acetoxy iodides lowers their reduction potential by more than 1 volt, allowing for milder access to the corresponding ketyl radicals and an oxidative termination event. Upon subjecting these iodides to a dimanganese decacarbonyl precatalyst and visible light irradiation, an atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) mechanism affords a broad scope of vinyl iodide products with high Z-selectivity.

Cross-Selective Aza-Pinacol Coupling via Atom Transfer Catalysis.

Project description:A cross-selective aza-pinacol coupling of aldehydes and imines has been developed to afford valuable β-amino alcohols. This strategy enables chemoselective conversion of aliphatic aldehydes to ketyl radicals, in the presence of more easily reduced imines and other functional groups. Upon carbonyl-specific activation by AcI, a photoinitiated Mn catalyst selectively reduces the resulting α-oxy iodide by an atom transfer mechanism. The ensuing ketyl radical selectively couples to imines, precluding homodimerization by a classical reductive approach. In this first example of reductive, ketyl coupling by atom transfer catalysis, Zn serves as a terminal reductant to facilitate Mn catalyst turnover. This new strategy also enables ketyl radical couplings to alkenes, alkynes, aldehydes, propellanes, and chiral imines.

Factors Controlling Reactivity in the Hydrogen Atom Transfer and Radical Addition Steps of a Radical Relay Cascade.

Project description:DFT exploration of 1,5- and 1,6-hydrogen atom transfers (HAT), radical addition, and relay to alkene is reported. The reactivity of 1,5- and 1,6-HAT are similar. We also explored reactions involving a multiple radical transferring process. Initially generated radicals undergo a multiple HAT process to form multiple bonds in a "relay" fashion, provided by exquisitely balanced rates.

Tandem catalysis of ring-closing metathesis/atom transfer radical reactions with homobimetallic ruthenium-arene complexes.

Project description:The tandem catalysis of ring-closing metathesis/atom transfer radical reactions was investigated with the homobimetallic ruthenium-indenylidene complex [(p-cymene)Ru(?-Cl)?RuCl(3-phenyl-1-indenylidene)(PCy?)] (1) to generate active species in situ. The two catalytic processes were first carried out independently in a case study before the whole sequence was optimized and applied to the synthesis of several polyhalogenated bicyclic ?-lactams and lactones from ?,?-diene substrates bearing trihaloacetamide or trichloroacetate functionalities. The individual steps were carefully monitored by ¹H and ³¹P NMR spectroscopies in order to understand the intimate details of the catalytic cycles. Polyhalogenated substrates and the ethylene released upon metathesis induced the clean transformation of catalyst precursor 1 into the Ru(II)-Ru(III) mixed-valence compound [(p-cymene)Ru(?-Cl)?RuCl(2)(PCy?)], which was found to be an efficient promoter for atom transfer radical reactions under the adopted experimental conditions.

Site-selective α-C(sp3)-H arylation of dialkylamines via hydrogen atom transfer catalysis-enabled radical aryl migration.

Project description:Site-selective C(sp3)-H arylation is an appealing strategy to synthesize complex arene structures but remains a challenge facing synthetic chemists. Here we report the use of photoredox-mediated hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) catalysis to accomplish the site-selective α-C(sp3)-H arylation of dialkylamine-derived ureas through 1,4-radical aryl migration, by which a wide array of benzylamine motifs can be incorporated to the medicinally relevant systems in the late-stage installation steps. In contrast to previous efforts, this C-H arylation protocol exhibits specific site-selectivity, proforming predominantly on sterically more-hindered secondary and tertiary α-amino carbon centers, while the C-H functionalization of sterically less-hindered N-methyl group can be effectively circumvented in most cases. Moreover, a diverse range of multi-substituted piperidine derivatives can be obtained with excellent diastereoselectivity. Mechanistic and computational studies demonstrate that the rate-determining step for methylene C-H arylation is the initial H atom abstraction, whereas the radical ipso cyclization step bears the highest energy barrier for N-methyl functionalization. The relatively lower activation free energies for secondary and tertiary α-amino C-H arylation compared with the functionalization of methylic C-H bond lead to the exceptional site-selectivity.

Merging Regiodivergent Catalysis with Atom-Economical Radical Arylation.

Project description:A titanocene-catalyzed regiodivergent radical arylation is described that allows access to either enantiomerically pure tetrahydroquinolines or indolines from a common starting material. The regioselectivity of epoxide opening that results in the high selectivity of heterocycle formation is controlled by two factors, the absolute configuration of the enantiopure ligands of the (C5 H4 R)2 TiX2 catalyst and the inorganic ligand X (X=Cl, OTs). The overall reaction is atom-economical and constitutes a radical Friedel-Crafts alkylation.

Reactivity of hydropersulfides toward the hydroxyl radical unraveled: disulfide bond cleavage, hydrogen atom transfer, and proton-coupled electron transfer.

Project description:Hydropersulfides (RSSH) are highly reactive as nucleophiles and hydrogen atom transfer reagents. These chemical properties are believed to be key for them to act as antioxidants in cells. The reaction involving the radical species and the disulfide bond (S-S) in RSSH, a known redox-active group, however, has been scarcely studied, resulting in an incomplete understanding of the chemical nature of RSSH. We have performed a high-level theoretical investigation on the reactions of the hydroxyl radical (?OH) toward a set of RSSH (R = -H, -CH3, -NH2, -C(O)OH, -CN, and -NO2). The results show that S-S cleavage and H-atom abstraction are the two competing channels. The electron inductive effect of R induces selective ?OH substitution at one sulfur atom upon S-S cleavage, forming RSOH and ?SH for the electron donating groups (EDGs), whereas producing HSOH and ?SR for the electron withdrawing groups (EWGs). The H-Atom abstraction by ?OH follows a classical hydrogen atom transfer (hat) mechanism, producing RSS? and H2O. Surprisingly, a proton-coupled electron transfer (pcet) process also occurs for R being an EDG. Although for RSSH having EWGs hat is the leading channel, S-S cleavage can be competitive or even dominant for the EDGs. The overall reactivity of RSSH toward ?OH attack is greatly enhanced with the presence of an EDG, with CH3SSH being the most reactive species found in this study (overall rate constant: 4.55 × 1012 M-1 s-1). Our results highlight the complexity in RSSH reaction chemistry, the extent of which is closely modulated by the inductive effect of the substituents in the case of the oxidation by hydroxyl radicals.

Radical cascade synthesis of azoles via tandem hydrogen atom transfer.

Project description:A radical cascade strategy for the modular synthesis of five-membered heteroarenes (e.g. oxazoles, imidazoles) from feedstock reagents (e.g. alcohols, amines, nitriles) has been developed. This double C-H oxidation is enabled by in situ generated imidate and acyloxy radicals, which afford regio- and chemo-selective β C-H bis-functionalization. The broad synthetic utility of this tandem hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) approach to access azoles is included, along with experiments and computations that provide insight into the selectivity and mechanism of both HAT events.

Mechanochemistry Drives Alkene Difunctionalization via Radical Ligand Transfer and Electron Catalysis.

Project description:A general and modular protocol is reported for olefin difunctionalization through mechanochemistry, facilitated by cooperative radical ligand transfer (RLT) and electron catalysis. Utilizing mechanochemical force and catalytic amounts of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyloxyl (TEMPO), ferric nitrate can leverage nitryl radicals, transfer nitrooxy-functional group via RLT, and mediate an electron catalysis cycle under room temperature. A diverse range of activated and unactivated alkenes exhibited chemo- and regioselective 1,2-nitronitrooxylation under solvent-free or solvent-less conditions, showcasing excellent functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies indicated a significant impact of mechanochemistry and highlighted the radical nature of this nitrative difunctionalization process.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Reactivity of N-Alkyl Phenoxazines in Organocatalyzed Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization.

Project description:Core-modified N-alkyl phenoxazines were synthesized and evaluated as photoredox catalysts (PCs) in organocatalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization (O-ATRP). Each PC was characterized and found to strongly absorb UVA and visible light, undergo reversible oxidation to radical cation species, and exhibit high quantum yields of fluorescence (Φf > 77%). PCs found to exhibit intramolecular charge transfer in their excited state were capable of the controlled synthesis of poly(methyl methacrylate) with good molecular weight control (I* ~ 100%) and moderately low dispersity (Đ < 1.30).

Radical Reactivity of the Fe(III)/(II) Tetramesitylporphyrin Couple: Hydrogen Atom Transfer, Oxyl Radical Dissociation, and Catalytic Disproportionation of a Hydroxylamine.

Project description:The chemistry of low-valent iron porphyrin complexes with oxyl radical reagents has been explored. (Meso-tetramesityl porphyrinato) iron(III) hydroxide, (TMP)FeIII(OH) reacts with the hydroxylamine TEMPO-H (1-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperdine) to yield the ferrous porphyrin, (TMP)FeII, together with H2O and TEMPO. This reaction has a second order rate constant k1 = 76 ± 5 M-1 1 s-1 and likely occurs by concerted e-/H+ transfer. Hydrazines PhNHNHPh and PhNHNH2 similarly yield (TMP)FeII. A subsequent reaction between TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperdinyl radical) and (TMP)FeII is observed to reversibly form the TEMPO-ligated ferric porphyrin, (TMP)FeIII(TEMPO). A combination of 1H NMR and optical spectroscopies were used to determine the thermodynamic parameters for TEMPO binding: K4 (25°C) = 535 ± 20 M-1, ΔH°4 = -7.0 ± 1.5 kcal mol-1, ΔS°4= -11 ± 5 cal mol-1 K-1, ΔG‡4(235K) = 21.3 ± 0.5 kcal mol-1, ΔG‡-4(235K) = 16.9 ± 0.5 kcal mol-1. The Fe-O bond is remarkably weak. The stable phenoxyl radical 2,4,6- t Bu3C6H2O• (ArO•) forms a stronger bond to (TMP)FeII to irreversibly make a similar FeIII(OR) complex. Both (TMP)FeII and (TMP)FeIII(OH) are catalysts for the disproportionation of excess TEMPO-H to TEMPO and TEMP-H (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperdine). The lack of reactivity between (TMP)FeII and the alkylated TEMPO-H analogue, TEMPO-CH3, suggests that the disproportionation involves a hydrogen atom transfer step. These results highlight the importance and versatility of the heme FeIII/II couple that is often overshadowed by its higher-valent counterparts.
