Identifying Amidyl Radicals for Intermolecular C-H Functionalizations.

ABSTRACT: Recent studies have demonstrated the capabilities of amidyl radicals to facilitate a range of intermolecular functionalizations of unactivated, aliphatic C-H bonds. Relatively little information is known regarding the important structural and electronic features of amidyl and related radicals that impart efficient reactivity. Herein, we evaluate a diverse range of nitrogen-centered radicals in unactivated, aliphatic C-H chlorinations. These studies establish the salient features of nitrogen-centered radicals critical to these reactions in order to expedite the future development of new site-selective, intermolecular C-H functionalizations.

Reagent-dictated site selectivity in intermolecular aliphatic C-H functionalizations using nitrogen-centered radicals.

Project description:The site selectivities of intermolecular, aliphatic C-H bond functionalizations are central to the value of these transformations. While the scope of these reactions continues to expand, the site selectivities remain largely dictated by the inherent reactivity of the substrate C-H bonds. Herein, we introduce reagent-dictated site selectivity to intermolecular aliphatic C-H functionalizations using nitrogen-centered amidyl radicals. Simple modifications of the amide lead to high levels of site selectivity in intermolecular C-H functionalizations across a range of simple and complex substrates. DFT calculations demonstrate that the steric demand of the reacting nitrogen-centered radical is heavily affected by the substitution pattern of the starting amide. Optimization of transition state structures consistently indicated higher reagent-dictated steric selectivities using more hindered amides, consistent with experimental results.

Photo-induced imino functionalizations of alkenes via intermolecular charge transfer.

Project description:A catalyst-free photosensitized strategy has been developed for regioselective imino functionalizations of alkenes via the formation of an EDA complex. This photo-induced protocol facilitates the construction of structurally diverse β-imino sulfones and vinyl sulfones in moderate to high yields. Mechanistic studies reveal that the reaction is initiated with an intermolecular charge transfer between oximes and sulfinates, followed by fragmentation to generate a persistent iminyl radical and transient sulfonyl radical. This catalyst-free protocol also features excellent regioselectivity, broad functional group tolerance and mild reaction conditions. The late stage functionalization of natural product derived compounds and total synthesis of some bioactive molecules have been demonstrated to highlight the utility of this protocol. Meanwhile, the compatibility of different donors has proved the generality of this strategy.

Remote Allylation of Unactivated C(sp3)-H Bonds Triggered by Photogenerated Amidyl Radicals.

Project description:The allylation reaction is a highly versatile transformation in chemical synthesis. While many elegant direct C(sp2)-H allylation reactions have been developed, the direct allylation of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds is underdeveloped. By applying photoredox catalysis and a [1,5]-HAT process, herein we report a direct allylation of unactivated C(sp3)‒H bonds. This photocatalyzed transformation is tolerant of several functional groups in the amide and allylic chloride substrates. Various allyl-substituted amide products were obtained with good yields and high δ-selectivity.

Radical Reactivity in the Condensed Phase: Intermolecular versus Intramolecular Reactions of Alkoxy Radicals.

Project description:Condensed-phase alkoxy (RO) radicals can undergo unimolecular (e.g., intramolecular H atom abstraction) reactions as well as bimolecular (intermolecular H atom abstraction) reactions, though the competition between these two channels is not well constrained. Here, we examine this branching by generating RO radicals from the photolysis of a large alkyl nitrite (C20H41ONO) in hexanes and nebulizing the mixture into an aerosol mass spectrometer for analysis. Product ions associated with unimolecular (isomerization) reactions were observed to increase upon photolysis. However, no formation of the C20 alcohol (C20H41OH, the expected product from RO + RH reactions) was observed, suggesting that bimolecular reactions are at most a minor channel for this condensed-phase system (involving saturated hydrocarbons). This result, combined with previous studies of liquid-phase RO radicals carried out at higher concentrations, suggests that when 1,5-H atom abstraction reactions are facile (i.e., in which a 1,5-H atom shift from a secondary or tertiary carbon can occur), this channel will dominate over bimolecular reactions.

Photoinduced Intermolecular Radical Hydroalkylation of Olefins via Ligated Boryl Radicals-Mediated Halogen Atom Transfer.

Project description:Light-mediated Halogen-Atom Transfer (XAT) has become a significant methodology in contemporary synthesis. Unlike α-aminoalkyl and silyl radicals, ligated boryl radicals (LBRs) have not been extensively explored as halogen atom abstractors. In this study, we introduce NHC-ligated boranes as optimal radical chain carriers for the intermolecular reductive radical hydroalkylation and hydroarylation of electron-deficient olefins by using direct UV-A light irradiation. DFT analysis allowed us to rationalize the critical role of the NHC ligand in facilitating efficient chain propagation.

Sulfonyl Nitrene and Amidyl Radical: Structure and Reactivity.

Project description:Photocatalytic generation of nitrenes and radicals can be used to tune or even control their reactivity. Photocatalytic activation of sulfonyl azides leads to the elimination of N2 and the resulting reactive species initiate C-H activations and amide formation reactions. Here, we present reactive radicals that are generated from sulfonyl azides: sulfonyl nitrene radical anion, sulfonyl nitrene and sulfonyl amidyl radical, and test their gas phase reactivity in C-H activation reactions. The sulfonyl nitrene radical anion is the least reactive and its reactivity is governed by the proton coupled electron transfer mechanism. In contrast, sulfonyl nitrene and sulfonyl amidyl radicals react via hydrogen atom transfer pathways. These reactivities and detailed characterization of the radicals with vibrational spectroscopy and with DFT calculations provide information necessary for taking control over the reactivity of these intermediates.

A new method of identifying the site of tyrosyl radicals in proteins.

Project description:Protein-bound tyrosyl radicals catalyze many important enzymatic reactions. They can also initiate oxidative damage to cells. Here we report a new method of computer simulation of tyrosyl radical electron paramagnetic resonance spectra. The method enables the determination of the rotational conformation of the phenoxyl ring in a radical with unprecedented accuracy (approximately 2 degrees ). When coupled with a new online database, all tyrosine residues in a protein can be screened for that particular conformation. For the first time we show relationships between the spin density on atom C1 (rho(C1)) and the principal g-factors measured by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (rho(C1) on g(x) is shown to be linear). The new method enables the accurate determination of rho(C1) in all known tyrosyl radicals, evaluates the likelihood of a hydrogen bond, and determines the possibility of a rho(C1) distribution in the radicals. This information, together with the accurately determined rotational conformation, is frequently sufficient to allow for an unambiguous identification of the site of radical formation. The possibility of a similar relationship between rho(C) and g(x) in other radicals, e.g., tryptophanyl, is discussed.

Photoredox Imino Functionalizations of Olefins.

Project description:Shown herein is that polyfunctionalized nitrogen heterocycles can be easily prepared by a visible-light-mediated radical cascade process. This divergent strategy features the oxidative generation of iminyl radicals and subsequent cyclization/radical trapping, which allows the effective construction of highly functionalized heterocycles. The reactions proceed efficiently at room temperature, utilize an organic photocatalyst, use simple and readily available materials, and generate, in a single step, valuable building blocks that would be difficult to prepare by other methods.

Allene Trifunctionalization via Amidyl Radical Cyclization and TEMPO Trapping.

Project description:Radical-mediated trifunctionalizations of allenes are virtually unknown, in contrast to well-studied radical difunctionalizations of alkenes and alkynes. In this article, we describe a light-promoted reaction that transforms all three allene carbons to new carbon-heteroatom bonds in one pot with no expensive transition-metal catalyst. Formation of an electron donor-acceptor complex between an electron-deficient aryl and K2CO3, followed by photochemical generation of an amidyl radical and cyclization, yields a vinyl radical that can be trapped by TEMPO to ultimately furnish the product. Insights into the impact of the allene substitution pattern, radical source, and donor are presented, along with studies to unravel the mechanism of this unusual transformation.

Identifying key descriptors in surface binding: interplay of surface anchoring and intermolecular interactions for carboxylates on Au(110).

Project description:The relative stability of carboxylates on Au(110) was investigated as part of a comprehensive study of adsorbate binding on Group IB metals that can be used to predict and understand how to control reactivity in heterogeneous catalysis. The binding efficacy of carboxylates is only weakly dependent on alkyl chain length for relatively short-chain molecules, as demonstrated using quantitative temperature-programmed reaction spectroscopy. Corresponding density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated that the bidentate anchoring geometry is rigid and restricts the amount of additional stabilization through adsorbate-surface van der Waals (vdW) interactions which control stability for alkoxides. A combination of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) shows that carboxylates form dense local islands on Au(110). Complementary DFT calculations demonstrate that adsorbate-adsorbate interactions provide additional stabilization that increases as a function of alkyl chain length for C2 and C3 carboxylates. Hence, overall stability is generally a function of the anchoring group to the surface and the inter-adsorbate interaction. This study demonstrates the importance of these two important factors in describing binding of key catalytic intermediates.
