A Carbene-Extended ATRA Reaction.

ABSTRACT: Atom-transfer radical addition (ATRA) reactions have gained a strong foothold in organic synthesis by virtue of their operational simplicity, synthetic versatility, and perfect atom economy. A rich chemical space can be accessed through clever combinations of the simple starting materials. Many variations of this general motif have been reported. However, the vast majority involve the addition of an organic halide across a C=C double bond, resulting in the formation of 1,2-bifunctional products. This report introduces a significant expansion of this general reactivity concept to give 1,3-bifunctional adducts through the combination of 1,1-ATRA to a carbenoid and 1,2-ATRA to an alkyne. Both processes operate under mild conditions (RT, 5?h) with the same commercial catalyst (CoBr2 , dppbz).

Stoichiometric Photochemical Carbene Transfer by Bamford-Stevens Reaction.

Project description:The photolysis of diazoalkanes is a timely strategy to conduct carbene-transfer reactions under mild and metal-free reaction conditions, and has developed as an important alternative to conventional metal-catalyzed carbene-transfer reactions. One of the major limitations lies within the rapidly occurring side reaction of the carbene intermediate with remaining diazoalkane molecules that result in the use of an excess of the reaction partner and thus impacts on the reaction efficiency. Herein, we describe a protocol that takes advantage of the in situ generation of donor-acceptor diazoalkanes by Bamford-Stevens reaction. Following this strategy, the concentration of the diazoalkane reaction partner can be minimized to reduce unwanted side reactions and to now conduct photochemical carbene transfer reactions under stoichiometric reaction conditions. We have explored this approach in the C-H and N-H functionalization and cyclopropanation reaction of N-heterocycles and could demonstrate the applicability of this method in 51 examples.

The reaction of rhenium nitrosyl with a sterically hindered NHC-carbene.

Project description:In this article, we present the serendipitous synthesis of the unknown Re(I) complex [(OPPh3)Re(NO)2Cl3] (3) that we obtained reacting the Re(V) complex trans-[(PPh3)2ReOCl3] (1) with NO gas in presence of CH3COOH. We found that 3 reacts with 1,3-bis (2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ylidene (IMes) to yield a stable oximate-Re(III) complex [(OPPh3)Re(NO)(ONIMes)Cl3] (4). We speculate that the IMes reacts with a bent NO, because the DFT calculations excluded the formation of both dimeric and η2-NO complexes in solution. The reactivity of the NO toward the carbene is probably due to an internal fluxional process in which the NO passes from linear to bent, triggered by the π-electrons given by the three chlorides to the Re through the mesomeric effect.

N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed Photoenolization/Diels-Alder Reaction of Acid Fluorides.

Project description:The combination of light activation and N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis has enabled the use of acid fluorides as substrates in a UVA-light-mediated photochemical transformation previously observed only with aromatic aldehydes and ketones. Stoichiometric studies and TD-DFT calculations support a mechanism involving the photoactivation of an ortho-toluoyl azolium intermediate, which exhibits "ketone-like" photochemical reactivity under UVA irradiation. Using this photo-NHC catalysis approach, a novel photoenolization/Diels-Alder (PEDA) process was developed that leads to diverse isochroman-1-one derivatives.

A reaction mode of carbene-catalysed aryl aldehyde activation and induced phenol OH functionalization.

Project description:The research in the field of asymmetric carbene organic catalysis has primarily focused on the activation of carbon atoms in non-aromatic scaffolds. Here we report a reaction mode of carbene catalysis that allows for aromatic aldehyde activation and remote oxygen atom functionalization. The addition of a carbene catalyst to the aldehyde moiety of 2-hydroxyl aryl aldehyde eventually enables dearomatization and remote OH activation. The catalytic process generates a type of carbene-derived intermediate with an oxygen atom as the reactive centre. Inexpensive achiral urea co-catalyst works cooperatively with the carbene catalyst, leading to consistent enhancement of the reaction enantioselectivity. Given the wide presence of aromatic moieties and heteroatoms in natural products and synthetic functional molecules, we expect our reaction mode to significantly expand the power of carbene catalysis in asymmetric chemical synthesis.

Chemo-selective cross reaction of two enals <i>via</i> carbene-catalyzed dual activation.

Project description:A dual catalytic chemo-selective cross-coupling reaction of two enals is developed. One enal (without α-substitution) is activated by an NHC catalyst to form an acylazolium enolate intermediate that undergoes Michael-type addition to another enal molecule bearing an alkynyl substituent. Mechanistic studies indicate that non-covalent interactions between the alkynyl enal and the NHC·HX catalyst play important roles in substrate activation and enantioselectivity control. Many of the possible side reactions are not observed. Our reaction provides highly chemo- and diastereo-selective access to chiral lactones containing functionalizable 1,3-enyn units with excellent enantioselectivities (95 to >99% ee).

Carbene-catalyzed chemoselective reaction of unsymmetric enedials for access to Furo[2,3-b]pyrroles.

Project description:A carbene-catalyzed chemoselective reaction of unsymmetric enedials is disclosed. The reaction provides a concise access to bicyclic furo[2,3-b]pyrroles derivatives in excellent selectivity. A main challenge in this reaction is chemoselective reaction of the two aldehyde moieties in the enedial substrates. Mechanistic studies via experiments suggest that our chemoselectivity controls are mostly achieved on the reducing properties of different sited Breslow intermediates. Several side reactions processes and the corresponding side adducts are also studied by high resolution mass spectroscopy analysis. Our method allows for efficient assembly of the furo[2,3-b]pyrrole structural moieties and their analogues widely found in natural products and pharmaceuticals.

The process involves kinetic resolution, with the axially chiral aryl monoaldehydes obtained in moderate yields with excellent optical purities. These axially chiral aryl monoaldehydes can be conveniently transformed into functionalized molecules, showing great potential as catalysts in organic chemistry.

Proton or Carbene Transfer? On the Dark and Light Reaction of Diazoalkanes with Alcohols.

Project description:The formal alkylation reaction of OH groups with diazoalkanes under catalyst-free reaction conditions finds broad application in organic synthesis. However, even today, this reaction is mainly limited to the use of diazomethane as reaction partner. In this combined experimental and theoretical study, we aim at a fundamental understanding of the reaction of diazoalkanes with alcohols to make this transformation amenable to a generalized approach towards formal alkylation reactions of alcohols with diazoalkanes. Experimental and theoretical studies suggest a direct proton transfer only in exceptional cases. In a more general setting, such O-H functionalization proceed both under dark and photochemical conditions via a key hydrogen-bonded singlet carbene intermediate that undergoes a protonation-addition mechanism. We conclude with applications of this approach in O-H functionalization reactions of alcohols, including simple fluorinated, halogenated and aliphatic alcohols and showcase functional-group tolerance of this method in the reaction of biologically active and pharmaceutically relevant alcohols.

Metal Substitution Modulates the Reactivity and Extends the Reaction Scope of Myoglobin Carbene Transfer Catalysts.

Project description:Engineered myoglobins have recently emerged as promising scaffolds for catalyzing carbene-mediated transformations. In this work, we investigated the effect of altering the metal center and its first-sphere coordination environment on the carbene transfer reactivity of myoglobin. To this end, we first established an efficient protocol for the recombinant expression of myoglobin variants incorporating metalloporphyrins with non-native metals, including second- and third-row transition metals (ruthenium, rhodium, iridium). Characterization of the cofactor-substituted myoglobin variants across three different carbene transfer reactions (cyclopropanation, N-H insertion, S-H insertion) revealed a major influence of the nature of metal center, its oxidation state and first-sphere coordination environment on the catalytic activity, stereoselectivity, and/or oxygen tolerance of these artificial metalloenzymes. In addition, myoglobin variants incorporating manganese- or cobalt-porphyrins were found capable of catalyzing an intermolecular carbene C-H insertion reaction involving phthalan and ethyl ?-diazoacetate, a reaction not supported by iron-based myoglobins and previously accessed only using iridium-based (bio)catalysts. These studies demonstrate how modification of the metalloporphyrin cofactor environment provides a viable and promising strategy to enhance the catalytic properties and extend the reaction scope of myoglobin-based carbene transfer catalysts.

N-Heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed direct cross-aza-benzoin reaction: Efficient synthesis of ?-amino-?-keto esters.

Project description:An efficient catalytic synthesis of ?-amino-?-keto esters has been newly developed. Cross-coupling of various aldehydes with ?-imino ester, catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbene, leads chemoselectively to ?-amino-?-keto esters in moderate to good yields with high atom efficiency. The reaction mechanism is discussed, and it is proposed that the ?-amino-?-keto esters are formed under thermodynamic control.
