Enantioselective Copper-Catalyzed Cyanation of Remote C(sp3)-H Bonds Enabled by 1,5-Hydrogen Atom Transfer.

ABSTRACT: The direct functionalization of C(sp3)-H bonds has led to the development of methods to access molecules or intermediates from basic chemicals in an atom- and step-economic fashion. Nevertheless, achieving high levels of chemo-, regio-, and enantioselectivity in these reactions remains challenging due to the ubiquity and low reactivity of C(sp3)-H bonds. Herein, we report an unprecedented protocol for enantioselective cyanation of remote C(sp3)-H bonds. With chiral Box-Cu complex as the catalyst, the reaction of N-fluorosulfonamide furnishes the corresponding products in excellent yields and high enantiomeric excess (ee) under mild reaction conditions. A radical relay pathway involving 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (1,5-HAT) of N-center radicals followed by enantioselective cyanation of the in situ-formed benzyl radicals is proposed. This enantioselective copper-catalyzed cyanation thus offers insights into an efficient way for the synthesis of bioactive molecules for drug discovery.

Enantioselective cyanation of benzylic C-H bonds via copper-catalyzed radical relay.

Project description:Direct methods for stereoselective functionalization of sp3-hybridized carbon-hydrogen [C(sp3)-H] bonds in complex organic molecules could facilitate much more efficient preparation of therapeutics and agrochemicals. Here, we report a copper-catalyzed radical relay pathway for enantioselective conversion of benzylic C-H bonds into benzylic nitriles. Hydrogen-atom abstraction affords an achiral benzylic radical that undergoes asymmetric C(sp3)-CN bond formation upon reaction with a chiral copper catalyst. The reactions proceed efficiently at room temperature with the benzylic substrate as limiting reagent, exhibit broad substrate scope with high enantioselectivity (typically 90 to 99% enantiomeric excess), and afford products that are key precursors to important bioactive molecules. Mechanistic studies provide evidence for diffusible organic radicals and highlight the difference between these reactions and C-H oxidations mediated by enzymes and other catalysts that operate via radical rebound pathways.

Functionalization of remote C(sp3)-H bonds enabled by copper-catalyzed coupling of O-acyloximes with terminal alkynes.

Project description:Transition metal catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling of terminal alkynes with aryl(vinyl) (pseudo)halides has been successfully extended to alkyl halides for the synthesis of functionalized internal alkynes. The direct alkynylation of remote unfunctionalized sp3 carbon by terminal alkynes remains difficult to realize. We report herein an approach to this synthetic challenge by developing two catalytic remote sp3 carbon alkynylation protocols. In the presence of a catalytic amount of Cu(I) salt and a tridentate ligand (tBu3-terpyridine), O-acyloximes derived from cycloalkanones and acyclic ketones are efficiently coupled with terminal alkynes to afford a variety of ?- and ?-alkynyl nitriles and ?-alkynyl ketones, respectively. These reactions proceed through a domino sequence involving copper-catalyzed reductive generation of iminyl radical followed by radical translocation via either ?-scission or 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (1,5-HAT) and copper-catalyzed alkynylation of the resulting translocated carbon radicals. The protocols are applicable to complex natural products.

Ligand-Enabled Pd(II)-Catalyzed Bromination and Iodination of C(sp3)-H Bonds.

Project description:We herein report the palladium(II)-catalyzed bromination and iodination of a variety of ?-hydrogen-containing carboxylic acid and amino acid-derived amides. These reactions are exclusively enabled by quinoline-type ligands. The halogenated products obtained in this reaction are highly versatile and rapidly undergo further diversification. Further, we report the first example of a free carboxylic acid-directed Pd(II)-catalyzed C(sp3)-H bromination, enabled by quinoline ligands.

Transition metal-free visible light photoredox-catalyzed remote C(sp<sup>3</sup>)-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.

Pyridine-enabled copper-promoted cross dehydrogenative coupling of C(sp2)-H and unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds.

Project description:The pyridine-enabled cross dehydrogenative coupling of sp2 C-H bonds of polyfluoroarenes and unactivated sp3 C-H bonds of amides was achieved via a copper-promoted process with good functional group compatibility. This reaction showed great site-selectivity by favoring the sp2 C-H bonds ortho to two fluoro atoms of arenes and the sp3 C-H bonds of ?-methyl groups over those of the ?-methylene, ?- or ?-methyl groups of the aliphatic amides. Mechanistic studies revealed that sp3 C-H bond cleavage is an irreversible but not the rate-determining step, and the sp2 C-H functionalization of arenes appears precedent to the sp3 C-H functionalization of amides in this process.

Pd(II)-catalyzed olefination of sp3 C-H bonds.

Project description:The first Pd(II)-catalyzed sp(3) C-H olefination reaction has been developed using N-arylamide directing groups. Following olefination, the resulting intermediates were found to undergo rapid 1,4-addition to give the corresponding gamma-lactams. Notably, this method was effective with substrates containing alpha-hydrogen atoms and could be applied to effect methylene C-H olefination of cyclopropane substrates.

Catalytic Radical Process for Enantioselective Amination of C(sp3 )-H Bonds.

Project description:A new catalytic radical system involving CoII -based metalloradical catalysis is effective in activating sulfamoyl azides for enantioselective radical 1,6-amination of C(sp3 )-H bonds, affording six-membered chiral heterocyclic sulfamides in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities. The CoII -catalyzed C-H amination features an unusual degree of functional-group tolerance and chemoselectivity. The unique reactivity and stereoselectivity is attributed to the underlying stepwise radical pathway. The resulting optically active cyclic sulfamides can be readily converted into synthetically useful chiral 1,3-diamine derivatives without loss in enantiopurity.

Regioselective Alkylative Cross-Coupling of Remote Unactivated C(sp3)-H Bonds.

Project description:The functionalization of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds poses a significant challenge due to their ubiquity and relative similarity in most organic frameworks. Herein, we describe the use of a combined photoredox and nickel catalytic system for the regioselective C(sp3)-C(sp3) coupling of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds and alkyl bromides. Positional selectivity is dictated by a 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reaction by a pendent amide. Interception of this radical by a Ni catalyst allows distal alkylation to occur in good yield and excellent selectivity.
