Stereoretentive Deuteration of ?-Chiral Amines with D2O.

ABSTRACT: We present the direct and stereoretentive deuteration of primary amines using Ru-bMepi (bMepi = 1,3-(6'-methyl-2'-pyridylimino)isoindolate) complexes and D2O. High deuterium incorporation occurs at the ?-carbon (70-99%). For ?-chiral amines, complete retention of stereochemistry is achieved when using an electron-deficient Ru catalyst. The retention of enantiomeric purity is attributed to a high binding affinity of an imine intermediate with ruthenium, as well as to a fast H/D exchange relative to ligand dissociation.

We present the direct and stereoretentive deuteration of primary amines using Ru-bMepi (bMepi = 1,3-(6'-methyl-2'-pyridylimino)isoindolate) complexes and D2O. High deuterium incorporation occurs at the α-carbon (70-99%). For α-chiral amines, complete retention of stereochemistry is achieved when using an electron-deficient Ru catalyst. The retention of enantiomeric purity is attributed to a high binding affinity of an imine intermediate with ruthenium, as well as to a fast H/D exchang ...[more]

Photoredox-Catalyzed Enantioselective α-Deuteration of Azaarenes with D2O.

Project description:The site-specific incorporation of deuterium (D) into small molecules is frequently used to access isotopically labeled compounds with broad utility in many research areas, such as drug development, mechanistic studies, and NMR analyses. Nevertheless, the deuteration of a stereocenter in an enantioselective manner, which could slow the metabolism and improve the bioavailability of bioactive molecules, remains challenging owing to the lack of established catalytic methods. Here, we report an asymmetric α-deuteration strategy for azaarenes with inexpensive D2O as the deuterium source. A cooperative visible light-driven photoredox and chiral Brønsted acid-catalyzed system using a Hantzsch ester as the terminal reductant has been developed, which enables racemic α-chloro-azaarenes and prochiral azaarene-substituted ketones to experience a single-electron reduction-enantioselective deuteration process. The transition metal-free method provides important chiral α-deuterated azaarenes in satisfactory yields with good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) and substantial deuterium incorporation.

A Heteroleptic Dirhodium Catalyst for Asymmetric Cyclopropanation with α-Stannyl α-Diazoacetate. "Stereoretentive" Stille Coupling with Formation of Chiral Quarternary Carbon Centers.

Project description:The heteroleptic dirhodium paddlewheel catalyst 7 with a chiral carboxylate/acetamidate ligand sphere is uniquely effective in asymmetric [2+1] cycloadditions with α-diazo-α-trimethylstannyl (silyl, germyl) acetate. Originally discovered as a trace impurity in a sample of the homoleptic parent complex [Rh2 ((R)-TPCP)4 ] (5), it is shown that the protic acetamidate ligand is quintessential for rendering 7 highly enantioselective. The -NH group is thought to lock the ensuing metal carbene in place via interligand hydrogen bonding. The resulting stannylated cyclopropanes undergo "stereoretentive" cross coupling, which shows for the first time that even chiral quarternary carbon centers can be made by the Stille-Migita reaction.

A Chiral Amine Transfer Approach to the Photocatalytic Asymmetric Synthesis of α-Trialkyl-α-tertiary Amines.

Project description:A long-standing challenge within radical chemistry is that of controlling the absolute stereochemistry of the products. Here, we report the stereocontrolled addition of α-amino radicals reductively generated from imines via visible-light-mediated photoredox-catalysis to alkenes, giving rise to enantioenriched α-trialkyl-α-tertiary amines. This process exploits a commercially available phenylglycinol derivative as a source of both nitrogen and chiral information. DFT studies support a stereochemical model whereby an intramolecular H-bond rigidifies the transition state of the enantiodetermining step.

High-throughput screening of α-chiral-primary amines to determine yield and enantiomeric excess.

Project description:A novel screening protocol was developed using a combination of a fluorescent indicator displacement assay and a circular dichroism (CD) active Fe(II) complex to determine concentration and enantiomeric excess (ee) of α-chiral amines, respectively. The analyte concentration is quantified with a pre-formed non-fluorescent imine, where transimination with the chiral amine results in displacement of the fluorophore 2-naphthylamine. After discerning the concentration of amine via fluorescence in a wellplate reader, the analyte is then incorporated into a three-component octahedral Fe(II) assembly for ee determination using an EKKO CD plate-reader. With these two assays, both the ee and yield of asymmetric transformations of 192 samples could be determined with acceptable errors in under fifteen minutes (not counting the preparation time). This combined speed and accuracy provides an attractive solution to overcoming analytical bottlenecks when creating α-chiral amines.

Iridium-catalyzed α-selective deuteration of alcohols.

Project description:The development of chemoselective C(sp3)-H deuteration is of particular interest in synthetic chemistry. We herein report the α-selective, iridium(iii)-bipyridonate-catalyzed hydrogen(H)/deuterium(D) isotope exchange of alcohols using deuterium oxide (D2O) as the primary deuterium source. This method enables the direct, chemoselective deuteration of primary and secondary alcohols under basic or neutral conditions without being affected by coordinative functional groups such as imidazole and tetrazole. Successful substrates for deuterium labelling include the pharmaceuticals losartan potassium, rapidosept, guaifenesin, and diprophylline. The deuterated losartan potassium shows higher stability towards the metabolism by CYP2C9 than the protiated analogue. Kinetic and DFT studies indicate that the direct deuteration proceeds through dehydrogenation of alcohol to the carbonyl intermediate, conversion of [IrIII-H] to [IrIII-D] with D2O, and deuteration of the carbonyl intermediate to give the α-deuterated product.

Direct α-alkylation of primary aliphatic amines enabled by CO2 and electrostatics.

Project description:Primary aliphatic amines are important building blocks in organic synthesis due to the presence of a synthetically versatile NH2 group. N-functionalization of primary amines is well established, but selective C-functionalization of unprotected primary amines remains challenging. Here, we report the use of CO2 as an activator for the direct transformation of abundant primary aliphatic amines into valuable γ-lactams under photoredox and hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) catalysis. Experimental and computational studies suggest that CO2 not only inhibits undesired N-alkylation of primary amines, but also promotes selective intermolecular HAT by an electrostatically accelerated interaction between the in situ-generated negatively charged carbamate and the positively charged quinuclidinium radical. This electrostatic attraction overwhelms the inherent bond dissociation energies which suggest that HAT should occur unselectively. We anticipate that our findings will open up new avenues for amine functionalizations as well as selectivity control in HAT reactions.

Design of Modified Amine Transfer Reagents Allows the Synthesis of α-Chiral Secondary Amines via CuH-Catalyzed Hydroamination.

Project description:The CuH-catalyzed hydroamination of alkenes and alkynes using a silane and an amine transfer reagent represents a simple strategy to access chiral amine products. We have recently reported methods to prepare chiral amines with high efficiency and stereoselectivity using this approach. However, the current technology is limited to the synthesis of trialkylamines from dialkylamine transfer reagents (R2NOBz). When monoalkylamine transfer reagents [RN(H)OBz] were used for the synthesis of chiral secondary amines, competitive, nonproductive consumption of these reagents by the CuH species resulted in poor yields. In this paper, we report the design of a modified type of amine transfer reagent that addresses this limitation. This effort has enabled us to develop a CuH-catalyzed synthesis of chiral secondary amines using a variety of amine coupling partners, including those derived from amino acid esters, carbohydrates, and steroids. Mechanistic investigations indicated that the modified amine transfer reagents are less susceptible to direct reaction with CuH.
