Cobalt-Catalyzed Selective Unsymmetrical Dioxidation of gem-Difluoroalkenes.

ABSTRACT: gem-Difluoroalkenes represent valuable synthetic handles for organofluorine chemistry; however, most reactions of this substructure proceed through reactive intermediates prone to eliminate a fluorine atom and generate monofluorinated products. Taking advantage of the distinct reactivity of gem-difluoroalkenes, we present a cobalt-catalyzed regioselective unsymmetrical dioxygenation of gem-difluoroalkenes using phenols and molecular oxygen, which retains both fluorine atoms and provides β-phenoxy-β,β-difluorobenzyl alcohols. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction operates through a radical chain process initiated by Co(II)/O₂/phenol and quenched by the Co-based catalyst. This mechanism enables the retention of both fluorine atoms, which contrasts most transition-metal-catalyzed reactions of gem-difluoroalkenes that typically involve defluorination.

Ni-catalyzed migratory fluoro-alkenylation of unactivated alkyl bromides with gem-difluoroalkenes.

Project description:We describe a nickel-catalyzed highly regio- and stereoselective migratory fluoro-alkenylation of unactivated alkyl bromides. A unique catalytic cycle merging alkyl nickel chain-walking and defluorinative coupling enables the introduction of a broad array of fluoroalkenyl moieties into carbon chains. Control experiments with other halogenated alkenes demonstrated the essential role of fluorine atoms in this reaction. Notably, the reaction proceeds under mild conditions and allows for the synthesis of a variety of valuable monofluoroalkenes.

Organocatalytic Strategy for Hydrophenolation of Gem-Difluoroalkenes.

Project description:Gem-difluoroalkenes are an easily accessed fluorinated functional group, and a useful intermediate for elaborating into more complex fluorinated compounds. Currently, most functionalization reactions of gem-difluoroalkenes, with or without a transition metal-based catalyst system, involve the addition or removal of a fluorine atom to generate trifluorinated or monofluorinated products, respectively. In contrast, we present a complementary "fluorine-retentive" reaction that exploits an organocatalytic strategy to add phenols across gem-difluoroalkenes to deliver ?,?-difluorophenethyl arylethers. The products are produced in good to moderate yields and selectivities, thus providing a range of compounds that are underrepresented in the synthetic and medicinal chemistry literature.

General Co-catalytic Hydrothiolation of gem-Difluoroalkenes.

Project description:Regioselective functionalization of gem-difluoroalkenes enables convergent late-stage access to fluorinated functional groups, though most functionalization reactions proceed through defluorinative functionalization processes that deliver mono-fluorovinyl products. In contrast, fewer reactions undergo net hydrofunctionalization to generate difluorinated products. Herein, we report a photocatalytic hydrothiolation of gem-difluoroalkenes that enables access to a broad spectrum of α,α-difluoroalkylthioethers. Notably, the reaction successfully couples nonactivated substrates, which expands the scope of accessible molecules relative to previously reported reactions involving organo- or photocatalytic strategies. Further, this reaction successfully couples biologically relevant molecules under aqueous conditions, highlighting potential applications in both late-stage and biorthogonal functionalizations.

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.

Selective C-F bond carboxylation of gem-difluoroalkenes with CO2 by photoredox/palladium dual catalysis.

Project description:The catalytic C-F bond carboxylation of organofluorines with CO2 gas remains a challenging problem in synthetic chemistry. Here, we describe a selective defluorinative carboxylation of gem-difluoroalkenes through photoredox/palladium dual catalysis. The C-F bond activation is enabled by single electron reduction through photoredox catalysis to generate a fluorovinyl radical, which subsequently participates in an unprecedented palladium-catalyzed carboxylation. This novel C-F functionalization proved applicable to a wide range of substituted gem-difluoroalkenes, providing a rapid access to valuable ?-fluoroacrylic acids.

Morpholine-mediated defluorinative cycloaddition of gem-difluoroalkenes and organic azides.

Project description:Here, we report the first transition-metal-free defluorinative cycloaddition of gem-difluoroalkenes with organic azides in morpholine as a solvent to construct fully decorated morpholine-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles. Mechanistic studies revealed the formation of an addition-elimination intermediate of morpholine and gem-difluoroalkenes prior to the triazolization reaction via two plausible pathways. Attractive elements include the regioselective and straightforward direct synthesis of fully substituted 1,2,3-triazoles, which are otherwise difficult to access, from readily available starting materials.

Rhodium-NHC-Catalyzed gem-Specific O-Selective Hydropyridonation of Terminal Alkynes.

Project description:The dinuclear complex [Rh(μ-Cl)(η2 -coe)(IPr)]2 is an efficient catalyst for the O-selective Markovnikov-type addition of 2-pyridones to terminal alkynes. DFT calculations support a hydride-free pathway entailing intramolecular oxidative protonation of a π-alkyne by a κ1 N-hydroxypyridine ligand. Subsequent O-nucleophilic attack on a metallacyclopropene species affords an O-alkenyl-2-oxypyridine chelate rhodium intermediate as the catalyst resting state. The release of the alkenyl ether is calculated as the rate-determining step.

Versatile cobalt-catalyzed regioselective chain-walking double hydroboration of 1,n-dienes to access gem-bis(boryl)alkanes.

Project description:Double hydroboration of dienes is the addition of a hydrogen and a boryl group to the two double bonds of a diene molecule and represents a straightforward and effective protocol to prepare synthetically versatile bis(boryl)alkanes, provided that this reaction occurs selectively. However, this reaction can potentially yield several isomeric organoboron products, and it still remains a challenge to control the regioselectivity of this reaction, which allows the selective production of a single organoboron product, in particular, for a broad scope of dienes. By employing a readily available cobalt catalyst, here we show that this double hydroboration yields synthetically useful gem-bis(boryl)alkanes with excellent regioselectivity. In addition, the scope of dienes for this reaction is broad and encompasses a wide range of conjugated and non-conjugated dienes. Furthermore, mechanistic studies indicate that this cobalt-catalyzed double hydroboration occurs through boryl-directed chain-walking hydroboration of alkenylboronates generated from anti-Markovnikov 1,2-hydroboration of 1,n-diene.

Cobalt-catalyzed peri-selective alkoxylation of 1-naphthylamine derivatives.

Project description:A cobalt-catalyzed C(sp2)-H alkoxylation of 1-naphthylamine derivatives has been disclosed, which represents an efficient approach to synthesize aryl ethers with broad functional group tolerance. It is noteworthy that secondary alcohols, such as hexafluoroisopropanol, isopropanol, isobutanol, and isopentanol, were well tolerated under the current catalytic system. Moreover, a series of biologically relevant fluorine-aryl ethers were easily obtained under mild reaction conditions after the removal of the directing group.
