Electroreductive Cobalt-Catalyzed Carboxylation: Cross-Electrophile Electrocoupling with Atmospheric CO2.

ABSTRACT: The chemical use of CO2 as an inexpensive, nontoxic C1 synthon is of utmost topical interest in the context of carbon capture and utilization (CCU). We present the merger of cobalt catalysis and electrochemical synthesis for mild catalytic carboxylations of allylic chlorides with CO2 . Styrylacetic acid derivatives were obtained with moderate to good yields and good functional group tolerance. The thus-obtained products are useful as versatile synthons of ?-arylbutyrolactones. Cyclic voltammetry and in operando kinetic analysis were performed to provide mechanistic insights into the electrocatalytic carboxylation with CO2 .

Synergistic Catalyst-Mediator Pairings for Electroreductive Cross-Electrophile Coupling Reactions.

Project description:Electroreductive cross-electrophile coupling (eXEC) represents an attractive approach for the direct C-C coupling of two electrophiles but generally suffers from limited scope compared to reactions with chemical reductants. This work demonstrates that mediator-assisted electrocatalysis is a general strategy for the enhancement of eXEC reactions. While eXEC reactions catalyzed by a variety of widely available ligand-nickel complexes are low yielding when applied to reductive couplings of challenging substrates, reactions with the same complexes generate products in near-quantitative yield when a redox-matched mediator is included. We identify a library of catalyst-mediator systems that provide complementary reactivity and enable coupling of a range of substrate classes in high yields. These catalyst systems are applicable to both chemical and electrochemical reduction, but some require electroreduction due to the low potentials required for activation. Finally, mechanistic studies offer insights that facilitate catalyst-mediator pairing.

Ruthenium-catalyzed umpolung carboxylation of hydrazones with CO2.

Project description:The first ruthenium-catalyzed umpolung carboxylation of hydrazones with CO2 to generate important aryl acetic acids is reported. Besides aldehyde hydrazones, a variety of ketone hydrazones, which have not been successfully applied in previous umpolung reactions with other reactive electrophiles, also show high reactivity and selectivity under mild conditions. Moreover, this operationally simple protocol features good functional group tolerance, is readily scalable, and offers easy derivation of important structures, including bioactive felbinac and adiphenine. Computational studies reveal that this umpolung reaction proceeds through the generation of a Ru-nitrenoid followed by concerted [4 + 2] cycloaddition with CO2.

Nickel Catalyzed Carbonylation/Carboxylation Sequence via Double CO2 Incorporation.

Project description:A carbonylation-carboxylation synthetic sequence, via double CO2 fixation, is described. The productive merger of a Ni-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling manifold, with the use of AlCl3, triggered a cascade reaction with the formation of three consecutive C-C bonds in a single operation. This strategy traces an unprecedented synthetic route to ketones under Lewis acid assisted carbon dioxide valorization. Computational insights revealed a unique double function of AlCl3, and labeling (13CO2) experiments validate the genuine incorporation of CO2 in both functional groups.

Visible-light photoredox-catalyzed umpolung carboxylation of carbonyl compounds with CO2.

Project description:Photoredox-mediated umpolung strategy provides an alternative pattern for functionalization of carbonyl compounds. However, general approaches towards carboxylation of carbonyl compounds with CO2 remain scarce. Herein, we report a strategy for visible-light photoredox-catalyzed umpolung carboxylation of diverse carbonyl compounds with CO2 by using Lewis acidic chlorosilanes as activating/protecting groups. This strategy is general and practical to generate valuable α-hydroxycarboxylic acids. It works well for challenging alkyl aryl ketones and aryl aldehydes, as well as for α-ketoamides and α-ketoesters, the latter two of which have never been successfully applied in umpolung carboxylations with CO2 (to the best of our knowledge). This reaction features high selectivity, broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, mild reaction conditions and facile derivations of products to bioactive compounds, including oxypheonium, mepenzolate bromide, benactyzine, and tiotropium. Moreover, the formation of carbon radicals and carbanions as well as the key role of chlorosilanes are supported by control experiments.

Pd(II)-catalyzed carboxylation of aromatic C─H bonds with CO2.

Project description:The carboxylation of nonactivated C─H bonds provides an attractive yet hitherto largely elusive chemical process to synthesize carboxylic acids by incorporation of CO2 into the chemical value chain. Here, we report on the realization of such a reaction using simple and nonactivated arenes as starting materials. A computationally designed Pd(II) complex acts as organometallic single-component catalyst, and apart from a base, necessary for thermodynamic stabilization of the intermediates, no other additives or coreagents are required. Turnover numbers up to 102 and high regioselectivities are achieved. The potential of this catalytic reaction for "green chemistry" is demonstrated by the synthesis of veratric acid, an intermediate for pharmaceutical production, from CO2 and veratrol.

Nickel-catalyzed electrochemical carboxylation of unactivated aryl and alkyl halides with CO2.

Project description:Electrochemical catalytic reductive cross couplings are powerful and sustainable methods to construct C-C bonds by using electron as the clean reductant. However, activated substrates are used in most cases. Herein, we report a general and practical electro-reductive Ni-catalytic system, realizing the electrocatalytic carboxylation of unactivated aryl chlorides and alkyl bromides with CO2. A variety of unactivated aryl bromides, iodides and sulfonates can also undergo such a reaction smoothly. Notably, we also realize the catalytic electrochemical carboxylation of aryl (pseudo)halides with CO2 avoiding the use of sacrificial electrodes. Moreover, this sustainable and economic strategy with electron as the clean reductant features mild conditions, inexpensive catalyst, safe and cheap electrodes, good functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope. Mechanistic investigations indicate that the reaction might proceed via oxidative addition of aryl halides to Ni(0) complex, the reduction of aryl-Ni(II) adduct to the Ni(I) species and following carboxylation with CO2.

Cobalt co-catalysis for cross-electrophile coupling: diarylmethanes from benzyl mesylates and aryl halides.

Project description:The nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl halides with alkyl radicals derived from alkyl halides has recently been extended to couplings with carbon radicals generated by a co-catalyst. In this study, a new co-catalyst, cobalt phthalocyanine (Co(Pc)), is introduced and demonstrated to be effective for coupling substrates not prone to homolysis. This is because Co(Pc) reacts with electrophiles by an SN2 mechanism instead of by the electron-transfer or halogen abstraction mechanisms previously explored. Studies demonstrating the orthogonal reactivity of (bpy)Ni and Co(Pc), applying this selectivity to the coupling of benzyl mesylates with aryl halides, and the adaptation of these conditions to the less reactive benzyl phosphate ester and an enantioconvergent reaction are presented.

Palladium-catalyzed incorporation of atmospheric CO2: efficient synthesis of functionalized oxazolidinones.

Project description:Methods to incorporate atmospheric CO2 into organic molecules are on demand. Here we present two Pd-catalyzed multicomponent reactions that provide functionalized oxazolidinones from propargylamines, aryl halides and CO2 as starting materials. These transformations, devoid of high CO2 pressures, represent a streamlined stereocontrolled synthesis of previously inaccessible versions of these useful heterocycles in an atom-economic manner, as up to four new single bonds are formed in a single synthetic operation.

Atmospheric CO2 captured by biogenic polyamines is transferred as a possible substrate to Rubisco for the carboxylation reaction.

Project description:Biogenic polyamines are involved in a wide range of plant cellular processes, including cell division, morphogenesis and stress responses. However, the exact roles of biogenic polyamines are not well understood. We recently reported that biogenic polyamines that have multiple amino groups can react with CO2 and accelerate calcium carbonate formation in seawater. The ability of biogenic polyamines to capture atmospheric CO2 prompted us to examine their roles in photosynthesis. Here, we demonstrated that atmospheric CO2 captured by biogenic polyamines is a candidate substrate for the carboxylation reaction of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), which is an enzyme involved in the first major step of carbon fixation during photosynthesis, and that biogenic polyamines can accelerate the carboxylation reaction of this enzyme because of their specific affinity for CO2. Moreover, the results of our nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis showed that putrescine, which is the most common biogenic polyamine, reacts with atmospheric CO2 and promotes the formation of carbamate derivatives and bicarbonate in aqueous environments. A sufficient amount of CO2 is well known to be produced by carbonic anhydrase from bicarbonate in vivo. The present study indicates that CO2 would be also produced by the equilibrium reaction from carbonate produced by biogenic polyamines and would be used as a substrate of Rubisco, too. Our results may suggest a new photosynthetic research strategy that involves CO2-concentrating mechanisms and also possibly constitutes a potential tool for reducing atmospheric CO2 levels and, consequently, global warming.

Metallaphotoredox-Catalyzed Cross-Electrophile Csp3-Csp3 Coupling of Aliphatic Bromides.

Project description:A strategy for the installation of small alkyl fragments onto pharmaceutically relevant aliphatic structures has been established via metallaphotoredox catalysis. Herein, we report that tris(trimethylsilyl)silanol can be employed as an effective halogen abstraction reagent that, in combination with photoredox and nickel catalysis, allows a generic approach to Csp3-Csp3 cross-electrophile coupling. In this study, we demonstrate that a variety of aliphatic drug-like groups can be successfully coupled with a number of commercially available small alkyl electrophiles, including methyl tosylate and strained cyclic alkyl bromides. Moreover, the union of two secondary aliphatic carbon centers, a long-standing challenge for organic molecule construction, has been accomplished with a wide array of structural formats. Last, this technology can be selectively merged with Csp2-Csp3 aryl-alkyl couplings to build drug-like systems in a highly modular fashion.
