Selective synthesis of spirobiindanes, alkenyl chlorides, and monofluoroalkenes from unactivated gem-difluoroalkanes controlled by aluminum-based Lewis acids.

ABSTRACT: The highly selective synthesis of spirobiindanes, alkenyl chlorides, and monofluoroalkenes via the cleavage of inert C(sp³)-F bonds in unactivated gem-difluoroalkanes using readily available and inexpensive aluminum-based Lewis acids of low toxicity is reported. The selectivity of this reaction can be controlled by modifying the substituents on the central aluminum atom of the promoter. An intramolecular cascade Friedel-Crafts alkylation of unactivated gem-difluorocarbons can be achieved using a stoichiometric amount of AlCl₃. The subsequent synthesis of alkenyl chlorides via F/Cl exchange followed by an elimination can be accomplished using AlEt₂Cl as a fluoride scavenger and halogen source. The defluorinative elimination of acyclic and cyclic gem-difluorocarbons to give monofluoroalkenes can be achieved using AlEt₃.

Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of <i>Gem</i>-Bromofluoroalkenes with Alkylboronic Acids for the Synthesis of Alkylated Monofluoroalkenes.

Project description:Monofluoroalkenes are versatile fluorinated synthons in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry and materials science. In light of the importance of alkyl-substituted monofluoroalkenes efficient synthesis of these moieties still represents a synthetic challenge. Herein, we described a mild and efficient methodology to obtain monofluoroalkenes through a stereospecific palladium-catalyzed alkylation of gem-bromofluoroalkenes with primary and strained secondary alkylboronic acids under mild conditions. This novel strategy gives access to a wide range of functionalized tri- and tetrasubstituted monofluoroalkenes in high yield, with good functional group tolerance, independently from the gem-bromofluoroalkenes geometry.

Highly selective nickel-catalyzed gem-difluoropropargylation of unactivated alkylzinc reagents.

Project description:In spite of the important applications of difluoroalkylated molecules in medicinal chemistry, to date, the reaction of difluoroalkylating reagents with unactivated, aliphatic substrates through a controllable manner remains challenging and has not been reported. Here we describe an efficient nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of unactivated alkylzinc reagen\ts with gem-difluoropropargyl bromides. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions with high efficiency and excellent regiochemical selectivity. Transformations of the resulting difluoroalkylated alkanes lead to a variety of biologically active molecules, providing a facile route for applications in drug discovery and development. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that an alkyl nickel intermediate [Ni(tpy)alkyl] (tpy, terpyridine) is involved in the catalytic cycle.

Rh-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of unactivated alkyl chlorides.

Project description:A general rhodium-catalyzed selective carbonylative coupling of unactivated alkyl chlorides with aliphatic alcohols or phenols to the corresponding esters is presented for the first time. Crucial for this transformation is the addition of sodium iodide, which provides in situ more active alkyl iodides. In the presence of a Rh(i)-DPPP catalyst system diverse esters (81 examples) including industrially relevant acetates from chloro- and dichloromethane can be prepared in a straightforward manner in up to 95% isolated yield. The used ligand not only affects the selectivity of the carbonylation reaction but also controls the selectivity of the preceding halide exchange step.

Cross-Electrophile Coupling of Unactivated Alkyl Chlorides.

Project description:Alkyl chlorides are bench-stable chemical feedstocks that remain among the most underutilized electrophile classes in transition metal catalysis. Overcoming intrinsic limitations of C(sp3)-Cl bond activation, we report the development of a novel organosilane reagent that can participate in chlorine atom abstraction under mild photocatalytic conditions. In particular, we describe the application of this mechanism to a dual nickel/photoredox catalytic protocol that enables the first cross-electrophile coupling of unactivated alkyl chlorides and aryl chlorides. Employing these low-toxicity, abundant, and commercially available organochloride building blocks, this methodology allows access to a broad array of highly functionalized C(sp2)-C(sp3) coupled adducts, including numerous drug analogues.

Rhodium-Catalyzed Formylation of Unactivated Alkyl Chlorides to Aldehydes.

Project description:The first rhodium-catalyzed formylation of non-activated alkyl chlorides with syn gas (H2 /CO) allows to produce aldehydes in high yields (25 examples). A catalyst optimization study revealed Rh(acac)(CO)2 in the presence of 1,3-bisdiphenylphosphinopropane (DPPP) as the most active catalyst system for this transformation. Key for the success of the reaction is the addition of sodium iodide (NaI) to the reaction system, which leads to the formation of activated alkyl iodides as intermediates. Depending on the reaction conditions, either the linear or branched aldehydes can be preferentially obtained, which is explained by a different mechanism.

Palladium(ii)-catalyzed γ-selective hydroarylation of alkenyl carbonyl compounds with arylboronic acids.

Project description:A catalytic γ-selective syn-hydroarylation of alkenyl carbonyl compounds using arylboronic acids has been developed using a substrate directivity approach with a palladium(ii) catalyst. This method tolerates a wide range of functionalized (hetero)arylboronic acids and a variety of substitution patterns on the alkene. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that transmetalation is rate-limiting.

Pd-catalyzed formal Mizoroki-Heck coupling of unactivated alkyl chlorides.

Project description:The use of alkyl chlorides in Pd-catalyzed Mizoroki-Heck coupling reactions remains an unsolved problem despite their significant potential for synthetic utility and applicability. The combination of the high thermodynamic barrier of alkyl chloride activation and kinetic propensity of alkylpalladium complexes to undergo undesired β-hydride elimination provides significant challenges. Herein, a variety of alkyl chlorides, even tertiary chlorides, are shown to efficiently participate in Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling reactions with excellent functional group compatibility under mild reaction conditions via photoinduced Pd catalysis. The reaction is applied to late-stage functionalizations of diverse biologically significant scaffolds and iterative double Mizoroki-Heck annulations, affording high molecular complexity in a single step. Notably, studies on the kinetic isotope effects in combination with density functional theory (DFT)-computations completely exclude the involvement of a previously proposed β-hydride elimination in the catalytic cycle, revealing that the chlorine atom transfer process is the key catalytic turnover step. This distinctive single-electron transfer mediated reaction pathway resolves a longstanding challenge in traditional two-electron based Pd-catalyzed Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling with alkyl electrophiles, wherein the β-hydride elimination is involved in the formation of both the desired product and undesired by-products.

Stereoconvergent amine-directed alkyl-alkyl Suzuki reactions of unactivated secondary alkyl chlorides.

Project description:A new family of stereoconvergent cross-couplings of unactivated secondary alkyl electrophiles has been developed, specifically, arylamine-directed alkyl-alkyl Suzuki reactions. This represents the first such investigation to be focused on the use of alkyl chlorides as substrates. Structure-enantioselectivity studies are consistent with the nitrogen, not the aromatic ring, serving as the primary site of coordination of the arylamine to the catalyst. The rate law for this asymmetric cross-coupling is compatible with transmetalation being the turnover-limiting step of the catalytic cycle.

A concise synthesis of 3-(1-alkenyl)isoindolin-1-ones and 5-(1-alkenyl)pyrrol-2-ones by the intermolecular coupling reactions of N-acyliminium ions with unactivated olefins.

Project description:A concise synthesis of 3-(1-alkenyl)isoindolin-1-ones and 5-(1-alkenyl)pyrrol-2-ones has been achieved by the coupling reactions of N-acyliminium ions produced from 3-hydroxyisoindol-1-ones or 5-hydroxy-1-pyrrol-2-ones with unactivated olefins in the presence of BF(3)·OEt(2) at room temperature. For most of the olefins, the reactions afforded the C(sp3)-C(sp2) cross-coupling products, but for the α-methylstyrene and 1-hexene, the C(sp3)-C(sp3) cross-coupling products were obtained.
