Enantioselective Diarylcarbene Insertion into Si-H Bonds Induced by Electronic Properties of the Carbenes.

ABSTRACT: Catalytic enantioselection usually depends on differences in steric interactions between prochiral substrates and a chiral catalyst. We have discovered a carbene Si-H insertion in which the enantioselectivity depends primarily on the electronic characteristics of the carbene substrate, and the log(er) values are linearly related to Hammett parameters. A new class of chiral tetraphosphate dirhodium catalysts was developed; it shows excellent activity and enantioselectivity for the insertion of diarylcarbenes into the Si-H bond of silanes. Computational and mechanistic studies show how the electronic differences between the two aryls of the carbene lead to differences in energies of the diastereomeric transition states. This study provides a new strategy for asymmetric catalysis exploiting the electronic properties of the substrates.

Migratory Insertion of Carbenes into Au(III)-C Bonds.

Project description:Migratory insertion of carbon-based species into transition-metal-carbon bonds is a mechanistic manifold of vast significance: it underlies the Fischer-Tropsch process, Mizoroki-Heck reaction, Ziegler-Natta and analogous late-transition-metal-catalyzed olefin polymerizations, and a number of carbonylative methods for the synthesis of ketones and esters, among others. Although this type of reactivity is well-precedented for most transition metals, gold constitutes a notable exception, with virtually no well-characterized examples known to date. Yet, the complementary reactivity of gold to numerous other transition metals would offer new synthetic opportunities for migratory insertion of carbon-based species into gold-carbon bonds. Here we report the discovery of well-defined Au(III) complexes that participate in rapid migratory insertion of carbenes derived from silyl- or carbonyl-stabilized diazoalkanes into Au-C bonds at temperatures ≥ -40 °C. Through a combined theoretical and experimental approach, key kinetic, thermodynamic, and structural details of this reaction manifold were elucidated. This study paves the way for homogeneous gold-catalyzed processes incorporating carbene migratory insertion steps.

New Hindered Amide Base for Aryne Insertion into Si-P, Si-S, Si-N, and C-C Bonds.

Project description:A general method for a new, hindered lithium diadamantylamide (LDAM) base-promoted insertion of arynes into Si-P, Si-S, Si-N, and C-C bonds is described. Arynes are generated from easily available aryl triflates and halides. Subsequent reaction of the aryne with silylated phosphines, sulfides, or amines affords the insertion products. Furthermore, a one-step synthesis of anthracenes from aryl halides and aryl ketones is also demonstrated. Cyano, aryl, alkyl, trifluoromethyl, vinyl, methoxy, chloro, fluoro, and even formyl moieties are compatible with the reaction conditions. The new lithium amide affords higher yields compared with lithium tetramethylpiperidide (LiTMP)-promoted reactions. Furthermore, the bulkiness of LDAM base essentially suppresses aryne reaction with base, allowing use of aryl halides and triflates as the limiting reagents.

Spirocyclic germanes via transannular insertion reactions of vinyl germylenes into Si-Si bonds.

Project description:The reactions of two cyclic germylene phosphane adducts with monosubstituted acetylenes caused the formation of spirocyclic germanes, which is postulated to occur by double acetylene insertion into germylene attached bonds. Further insertion of the formed cyclic divinylgermylene into transannular Si-Si or Si-Ge bonds provides the spirocyclic germanes. Thermal treatment of two germacyclopropenes, formed by the reaction of the two cyclic germylene phosphane adducts with tolane, also produced spirocyclogermanes. The structures of the latter require, however, a more complicated mechanistic proposal.

Enantioselective synthesis of isochromans and tetrahydroisoquinolines by C-H insertion of donor/donor carbenes.

Project description:Reports of C-H insertions forming six-membered rings containing heteroatoms are rare due to Stevens rearrangements occurring after nucleophilic attack on the carbene by a heteroatom. Using donor/donor carbenes and Rh2(R-PTAD)4 as a catalyst, we have synthesized a collection of isochroman substrates in good yield, with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity, and no rearrangement products were observed. Furthermore, we report the first synthesis of six-membered rings containing nitrogen by C-H insertion to form tetrahydroisoquinolines. In one case, a Stevens rearrangement product was isolated at elevated temperature from a carbamate-protected amine substrate and computational evidence suggests formation through a free ylide not bound to rhodium.

Enantioselective Synthesis of Indolines, Benzodihydrothiophenes, and Indanes by C-H Insertion of Donor/Donor Carbenes.

Project description:We employ a single catalyst/oxidant system to enable the asymmetric syntheses of indolines, benzodihydrothiophenes, and indanes by C-H insertion of donor/donor carbenes. This methodology enables the rapid construction of densely substituted five-membered rings that form the core of many drug targets and natural products. Furthermore, oxidation of hydrazones to the corresponding diazo compounds proceeds in situ, enabling a relatively facile one- or two-pot protocol in which isolation of potentially explosive diazo alkanes is avoided. Regioselectivity studies were performed to determine the impact of sterics and electronics in donor/donor metal carbene C-H insertions to form indolines. This methodology was applied to a variety of substrates in high yield, diastereomeric, and enantiomeric ratios and to the synthesis of a patented indane estrogen receptor agonist with anti-cancer activity.

Enantioselective Si-H Insertion Reactions of Diarylcarbenes for the Synthesis of Silicon-Stereogenic Silanes.

Project description:We report the first example of enantioselective, intermolecular diarylcarbene insertion into Si-H bonds for the synthesis of silicon-stereogenic silanes. Dirhodium(II) carboxylates catalyze an Si-H insertion using carbenes derived from diazo compounds where selective formation of an enantioenriched silicon center is achieved using prochiral silanes. Fourteen prochiral silanes were evaluated with symmetrical and prochiral diazo reactants to produce a total of 25 novel silanes. Adding an ortho substituent on one phenyl ring of a prochiral diazo enhances enantioselectivity up to 95:5 er with yields up to 98%. Using in situ IR spectroscopy, the impact of the off-cycle azine formation is supported based on the structural dependence for relative rates of diazo decomposition. A catalytic cycle is proposed with Si-H insertion as the rate-determining step, supported by kinetic isotope experiments. Transformations of an enantioenriched silane derived from this method, including selective synthesis of a novel sila-indane, are demonstrated.

Divergent stereochemical outcomes in the insertion of donor/donor carbenes into the C-H bonds of stereogenic centers.

Project description:Intramolecular C-H insertions with donor/donor dirhodium carbenes provide a concise and highly stereoselective method to set two contiguous stereocenters in a single step. Herein, we report the insertion of donor/donor carbenes into stereogenic carbon centers allowing access to trisubstituted benzodihydrofurans in a single step. This study illuminates, for the first time, the stereochemical impact on the carbene center and delineates the structural factors that enable control over both stereogenic centers. Sterically bulky, highly activated C-H insertion centers exhibit high substrate control yielding a single diastereomer and a single enantiomer of product regardless of the catalyst used. Less bulky, less activated C-H insertion centers exhibit catalyst control over the diastereomeric ratio (dr), where a single enantiomer of each diastereomer is observed with high selectivity. A combination of experimental studies and DFT calculations was used to elucidate the origin of these results. First, hydride transfer from the stereogenic insertion site proceeds with high stereoselectivity to the carbene center, thus determining the absolute configuration of the product. Second, the short lived zwitterionic intermediate can diaster-eoselectively ring-close by a hitherto unreported SE2 mechanism that is either controlled by the substrate or the catalyst. These results demonstrate that donor/donor carbenes undergo uniquely stereoselective reactions that originate from a stepwise reaction mechanism, in contrast to the analogous concerted reactions of carbenes with one or more electron-withdrawing groups attached.

Stabilization of Boron-Boron Triple Bonds by Mesoionic Carbenes.

Project description:Density functional theory-based computations are carried out to analyze the electronic structure and stability of B2(MIC)2 complexes, where MIC is a mesoionic carbene, viz., imidazolin-4-ylidenes, pyrazolin-4-ylidene, 1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene, tetrazol-5-ylidene, and isoxazol-4-ylidene. The structure, stability, and the nature of bonding of these complexes are further compared to those of the previously reported B2(NHC)2 and B2(cAAC)2. A thorough bonding analysis via natural bond order, molecular orbital, and energy decomposition analyses (EDA) in combination with natural orbital for chemical valence (NOCV) reveals that MICs are suitable ligands to stabilize B2 species in its (3)1∑g + excited state, resulting in an effective B-B bond order of 3. Their high dissociation energy and endergonicity at 298 K for the dissociations L-BB-L → 2 B-L and L-BB-L → BB + 2 L (L = Ligand) indicate their viability at ambient condition. The donor property of MICs is comparable to that of NHCMe. The orbital interaction plays a greater role than the coulombic interaction in forming the B-L bonds. The EDA-NOCV results show that the sum of the orbital energies associated with the (+, +) and (+, -) L→[B2]←L σ-donations is far larger than that of L←[B2]→L π-back donation. It also reveals that cAACMe possesses the largest σ-donation and π-back donation abilities among the studied ligands, and the σ-donation and π-back donation abilities of MICs are comparable to those of NHCMe. Therefore, the present study shows that MICs would also be an excellent choice as ligands to experimentally realize new compounds having a strong B-B triple bond.

Vinylogous aldol products from chiral crotylsilanes obtained by enantioselective Rh(II) and Cu(I) carbenoid Si-H insertion.

Project description:Enantioenriched homoallylic ethers containing a alpha,beta-unsaturated ester (syn-vinylogous aldol products) were directly accessed by Lewis acid catalyzed crotylation utilizing chiral silane 2. The reagents were prepared by enantioselective Si-H insertion to an alpha-diazovinylacetates using Davies' Rh(2)(DOSP)(4) catalyst or chiral Cu(I) Schiff base complex.

Palladium-catalyzed intramolecular enantioselective C(sp3)–H insertion of donor/donor carbenes† † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available. CCDC 2142261, 1908561 and 2142262. For ESI and crystallographic data in CIF or other electronic format see https://doi.org/10.1039/d2sc03524c

Project description:Herein, the first palladium-catalyzed intramolecular enantioselective C(sp3)–H insertion reaction of donor–donor carbenes has been successfully achieved. This facile protocol enables the rapid construction of a collection of enantioenriched decorated indolines with two contiguous stereocenters in a single step. Both enynones and diazo compounds are efficient donor–donor carbene precursors for this reaction. By an adjustment of ligands and protecting groups of the substrates, the palladium–carbene intermediates from diazo compounds afford sparse trans-indolines with excellent enantioselectivities, while carbenes from enynones deliver cis-indolines exclusively. Based on the control reactions and Hammett analysis, a stepwise Mannich-type pathway through a short-lived and compact zwitterionic intermediate is proposed. The first palladium-catalyzed intramolecular enantioselective C(sp3)–H insertion of donor–donor carbenes has been achieved. The diazo compounds afford rare trans-indolines with excellent enantioselectivities, while enynones deliver cis-indolines exclusively.
