Homobenzylic Oxygenation Enabled by Dual Organic Photoredox and Cobalt Catalysis.

ABSTRACT: Activation of aliphatic C(sp³)-H bonds in the presence of more activated benzylic C(sp³)-H bonds is often a nontrivial, if not impossible task. Herein we show that leveraging the reactivity of benzylic C(sp³)-H bonds to achieve reactivity at the homobenzylic position can be accomplished using dual organic photoredox/cobalt catalysis. Through a two-part catalytic system, alkyl arenes undergo dehydrogenation followed by an anti-Markovnikov Wacker-type oxidation to grant benzyl ketone products. This formal homobenzylic oxidation is accomplished with high atom economy without the use of directing groups, achieving valuable reactivity that traditionally would require multiple chemical transformations.

Bioinspired desaturation of alcohols enabled by photoredox proton-coupled electron transfer and cobalt dual catalysis.

Project description:In the biosynthesis sterols an enzyme-catalyzed demethylation is achieved via a stepwise oxidative transformation of alcohols to olefins. The overall demethylation proceeds through two sequential monooxygenation reactions and a subsequent dehydroformylative saturation. To mimic the desaturation processes observed in nature, we have successfully integrated photoredox proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) and cobaloxime chemistry for the acceptorless dehydrogenation of alcohols. The state-of-the-art remote and precise desaturation of ketones proceeds efficiently through the activation of cyclic alcohols using bond-dissociation free energy (BDFE) as thermodynamic driving force. The resulting transient alkoxyl radical allows C-C bond scission to generate the carbon-centered radical remote to the carbonyl moiety. This key intermediate is subsequently combined with cobaloxime photochemistry to furnish the alkene. Moreover, the mild protocol can be extended to desaturation of linear alcohols as well as aromatic hydrocarbons. Application to bioactive molecules and natural product derivatives is also presented.

Regioselective Arene C-H Alkylation Enabled by Organic Photoredox Catalysis.

Project description:Expanding the toolbox of C-H functionalization reactions applicable to the late-stage modification of complex molecules is of interest in medicinal chemistry, wherein the preparation of structural variants of known pharmacophores is a key strategy for drug development. One manifold for the functionalization of aromatic molecules utilizes diazo compounds and a transition-metal catalyst to generate a metallocarbene species, which is capable of direct insertion into an aromatic C-H bond. However, these high-energy intermediates can often require directing groups or a large excess of substrate to achieve efficient and selective reactivity. Herein, we report that arene cation radicals generated by organic photoredox catalysis engage in formal C-H functionalization reactions with diazoacetate derivatives, furnishing sp2 -sp3 coupled products with moderate-to-good regioselectivity. In contrast to previous methods utilizing metallocarbene intermediates, this transformation does not proceed via a carbene intermediate, nor does it require the presence of a transition-metal catalyst.

Three-Component Olefin Dicarbofunctionalization Enabled by Nickel/Photoredox Dual Catalysis.

Project description:An intermolecular, photocatalytic dicarbofunctionalization (DCF) of olefins enabled by the merger of Giese-type addition with Ni/photoredox dual catalysis has been realized. Capitalizing on the rapid addition of 3° radicals to alkenes and their reluctance toward single electron metalation to Ni complexes, regioselective alkylation and arylation of olefins is possible. This dual catalytic method not only permits elaborate species to be assembled from commodity materials, but also allows quaternary and tertiary centers to be installed in a singular, chemoselective olefin difunctionalization. This multicomponent process occurs under exceptionally mild conditions, compatible with a diverse range of functional groups and synthetic handles such as pinacolboronate esters. This technology was directly applied to the synthesis of an intermediate to a preclinical candidate (TK-666) and its derivatives.

Photoredox Heterobimetallic Dual Catalysis Using Engineered Covalent Organic Frameworks.

Project description:The functionalization of an imine-based layered covalent organic framework (COF), containing phenanthroline units as ligands, has allowed the obtention of a heterobimetallated material. Photoactive Ir and Ni fragments were immobilized within the porous structure of the COF, enabling heterogeneous light-mediated Csp3-Csp2 cross-couplings. As radical precursors, potassium benzyl- and alkoxy-trifluoroborates, organic silicates, and proline derivatives were employed, which brings out the good versatility of Ir,Ni@Phen-COF. Moreover, in all the studied cases, an enhanced activity and stability have been observed in comparison with analogous homogenous systems.

Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution of Unactivated Fluoroarenes Enabled by Organic Photoredox Catalysis.

Project description:Nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) is a classical reaction with well-known reactivity toward electron-poor fluoroarenes. However, electron-neutral and electron-rich fluoro(hetero)arenes are considerably underrepresented. Herein, we present a method for the nucleophilic defluorination of unactivated fluoroarenes enabled by cation radical-accelerated nucleophilic aromatic substitution. The use of organic photoredox catalysis renders this method operationally simple under mild conditions and is amenable to various nucleophile classes, including azoles, amines, and carboxylic acids. Select fluorinated heterocycles can be functionalized using this method. In addition, the late-stage functionalization of pharmaceuticals is also presented. Computational studies demonstrate that the site selectivity of the reaction is dictated by arene electronics.

Asymmetric three-component olefin dicarbofunctionalization enabled by photoredox and copper dual catalysis.

Project description:The intermolecular three-component alkene vicinal dicarbofunctionalization (DCF) reaction allows installation of two different carbon fragments. Despite extensive investigation into its ionic chemistry, the enantioseletive radical-mediated versions of DCF reactions remain largely unexplored. Herein, we report an intermolecular, enantioselective three-component radical vicinal dicarbofunctionalization reaction of olefins enabled by merger of radical addition and cross-coupling using photoredox and copper dual catalysis. Key to the success of this protocol relies on chemoselective addition of acyl and cyanoalkyl radicals, generated in situ from the redox-active oxime esters by a photocatalytic N-centered iminyl radical-triggered C-C bond cleavage event, onto the alkenes to form new carbon radicals. Single electron metalation of such newly formed carbon radicals to TMSCN-derived L1Cu(II)(CN)2 complex leads to asymmetric cross-coupling. This three-component process proceeds under mild conditions, and tolerates a diverse range of functionalities and synthetic handles, leading to valuable optically active β-cyano ketones and alkyldinitriles, respectively, in a highly enantioselective manner (>60 examples, up to 97% ee).

A General Strategy for Aliphatic C-H Functionalization Enabled by Organic Photoredox Catalysis.

Project description:Synthetic transformations that functionalize unactivated aliphatic C-H bonds in an intermolecular fashion offer unique strategies for the synthesis and late-stage derivatization of complex molecules. Herein we report a general approach to the intermolecular functionalization of aliphatic C-H bonds using an acridinium photoredox catalyst and phosphate salt under blue LED irradiation. This strategy encompasses a range of valuable C-H transformations, including the direct conversions of a C-H bond to C-N, C-F, C-Br, C-Cl, C-S, and C-C bonds, in all cases using the alkane substrate as the limiting reagent. Detailed mechanistic studies are consistent with the intermediacy of a putative oxygen-centered radical as the hydrogen atom-abstracting species in these processes.

Aminomethylation of Aryl Halides using α-Silylamines Enabled by Ni/Photoredox Dual Catalysis.

Project description:A protocol for the aminomethylation of aryl halides using α-silylamines via Ni/photoredox dual catalysis is described. The low oxidation potential of these silylated species enables facile single electron transfer (SET) oxidation of the amine followed by rapid desilylation. The resulting α-amino radicals can be directly funneled into a nickel-mediated cross-coupling cycle with aryl halides. The process accomplishes aminomethylation under remarkably mild conditions and tolerates numerous aryl- and heteroaryl halides with an array of functional groups.

Three-component reductive conjugate addition/aldol tandem reaction enabled by nickel/photoredox dual catalysis.

Project description:A three-component reductive cross-coupling of aryl halides, aldehydes, and alkenes by nickel/photoredox dual catalysis is disclosed. The key to success for this tandem transformation is to identify α-silylamine as a unique organic reductant, which releases silylium ions instead of protons to prevent unwanted protonation processes, and meanwhile serves as Lewis acid to activate aldehydes in situ. This dual catalytic protocol completes a traditional conjugate addition/aldol sequence that eliminates the requirement of organometallic reagents and metal-based reductants, thus providing a mild synthetic route to highly valuable β-hydroxyl carbonyl compounds with contiguous 1,2-stereocenters.
