Enantioselective Intermolecular Radical C-H Amination.

ABSTRACT: Radical reactions hold a number of inherent advantages in organic synthesis that may potentially impact the planning and practice for construction of organic molecules. However, the control of enantioselectivity in radical processes remains one of the longstanding challenges. While significant advances have recently been achieved in intramolecular radical reactions, the governing of asymmetric induction in intermolecular radical reactions still poses challenging issues. We herein report a catalytic approach that is highly effective for controlling enantioselectivity as well as reactivity of the intermolecular radical C-H amination of carboxylic acid esters with organic azides via Co(II)-based metalloradical catalysis (MRC). The key to the success lies in the catalyst development to maximize noncovalent attractive interactions through fine-tuning of the remote substituents of the D₂-symmetric chiral amidoporphyrin ligand. This noncovalent interaction strategy presents a solution that may be generally applicable in controlling reactivity and enantioselectivity in intermolecular radical reactions. The Co(II)-catalyzed intermolecular C-H amination, which operates under mild conditions with the C-H substrate as the limiting reagent, exhibits a broad substrate scope with high chemoselectivity, providing effective access to valuable chiral amino acid derivatives with high enantioselectivities. Systematic mechanistic studies shed light into the working details of the underlying stepwise radical pathway for the Co(II)-based C-H amination.

Photoenzymatic Enantioselective Intermolecular Radical Hydroamination.

Project description:Since the discovery of Hofmann-Löffler-Freytag reaction more than 130 years ago, nitrogen-centered radicals have been widely studied in both structures and reactivities1-2. Nevertheless, catalytic enantioselective intermolecular radical hydroamination remains a challenge due to the existence of side reactions, short lifetime of nitrogen-centered radicals, and lack of understanding of the fundamental catalytic steps. In chemistry, nitrogen-centered radicals are produced with radical initiators, photocatalysts, or electrocatalysts. On the other hand, the generation and reaction of nitrogen-centered radicals are unknown in nature. Here we report a pure biocatalytic system by successfully repurposing an ene-reductase through directed evolution for the photoenzymatic production of nitrogen-centered radicals and enantioselective intermolecular radical hydroaminations. These reactions progress efficiently at room temperature under visible light without any external photocatalysts and exhibit excellent enantioselectivities. Detailed mechanistic study reveals that the enantioselectivity originates from the radical-addition step while the reactivity originates from the ultrafast photoinduced electron transfer (ET) from reduced flavin mononucleotide (FMNH-) to nitrogen-containing substrates.

Enantioselective Intermolecular C-H Amination Directed by a Chiral Cation.

Project description:The enantioselective amination of C(sp3)-H bonds is a powerful synthetic transformation yet highly challenging to achieve in an intermolecular sense. We have developed a family of anionic variants of the best-in-class catalyst for Rh-catalyzed C-H amination, Rh2(esp)2, with which we have associated chiral cations derived from quaternized cinchona alkaloids. These ion-paired catalysts enable high levels of enantioselectivity to be achieved in the benzylic C-H amination of substrates bearing pendant hydroxyl groups. Additionally, the quinoline of the chiral cation appears to engage in axial ligation to the rhodium complex, providing improved yields of product versus Rh2(esp)2 and highlighting the dual role that the cation is playing. These results underline the potential of using chiral cations to control enantioselectivity in challenging transition-metal-catalyzed transformations.

Enantioselective synthesis of [4]helicenes by organocatalyzed intermolecular C-H amination.

Project description:Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of helically chiral molecules has remained an outstanding challenge and witnessed fairly limited progress in the past decades. Current methods to construct such compounds almost entirely rely on catalytic enantiocontrolled fused-ring system extension. Herein, we report a direct terminal peri-functionalization strategy, which allows for efficient assembling of 1,12-disubstituted [4]carbohelicenes via an organocatalyzed enantioselective amination reaction of 2-hydroxybenzo[c]phenanthrene derivates with diazodicarboxamides. The key feature of this approach is that the stereochemical information of the catalyst could be transferred into not only the helix sense but also the remote C-N axial chirality of the products, thus enabling the synthesis of [4]- and [5]helicenes with both structural diversity and stereochemical complexity in good efficiency and excellent enantiocontrol. Besides, the large-scale preparations and representative transformations of the helical products further demonstrate the practicality of this protocol. Moreover, DFT calculations reveal that both the hydrogen bonds and the C-H---π interactions between the substrates and catalyst contribute to the ideal stereochemical control.

Enantioselective, intermolecular benzylic C-H amination catalysed by an engineered iron-haem enzyme.

Project description:C-H bonds are ubiquitous structural units of organic molecules. Although these bonds are generally considered to be chemically inert, the recent emergence of methods for C-H functionalization promises to transform the way synthetic chemistry is performed. The intermolecular amination of C-H bonds represents a particularly desirable and challenging transformation for which no efficient, highly selective, and renewable catalysts exist. Here we report the directed evolution of an iron-containing enzymatic catalyst-based on a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase-for the highly enantioselective intermolecular amination of benzylic C-H bonds. The biocatalyst is capable of up to 1,300 turnovers, exhibits excellent enantioselectivities, and provides access to valuable benzylic amines. Iron complexes are generally poor catalysts for C-H amination: in this catalyst, the enzyme's protein framework confers activity on an otherwise unreactive iron-haem cofactor.

Catalytic Radical Process for Enantioselective Amination of C(sp3 )-H Bonds.

Project description:A new catalytic radical system involving CoII -based metalloradical catalysis is effective in activating sulfamoyl azides for enantioselective radical 1,6-amination of C(sp3 )-H bonds, affording six-membered chiral heterocyclic sulfamides in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities. The CoII -catalyzed C-H amination features an unusual degree of functional-group tolerance and chemoselectivity. The unique reactivity and stereoselectivity is attributed to the underlying stepwise radical pathway. The resulting optically active cyclic sulfamides can be readily converted into synthetically useful chiral 1,3-diamine derivatives without loss in enantiopurity.

Enantioselective catalytic β-amination through proton-coupled electron transfer followed by stereocontrolled radical-radical coupling.

Project description:A new mechanistic approach for the catalytic, enantioselective conjugate addition of nitrogen-based nucleophiles to acceptor-substituted alkenes is reported, which is based on a visible light induced and phosphate base promoted transfer of a single electron from a nitrogen nucleophile to a catalyst-bound acceptor-substituted alkene, followed by a stereocontrolled C-N bond formation through stereocontrolled radical-radical coupling. Specifically, N-aryl carbamates are added to the β-position of α,β-unsaturated 2-acyl imidazoles using a visible light activated photoredox mediator in combination with a chiral-at-rhodium Lewis acid catalyst and a weak phosphate base, affording new C-N bonds in a highly enantioselective fashion with enantioselectivities reaching up to 99% ee and >99 : 1 dr for a menthol-derived carbamate. As an application, the straightforward synthesis of a chiral β-amino acid ester derivative is demonstrated.

Enantioselective radical C-H amination for the synthesis of β-amino alcohols.

Project description:Asymmetric, radical C-H functionalizations are rare but powerful tools for solving modern synthetic challenges. Specifically, the enantio- and regioselective C-H amination of alcohols to access medicinally valuable chiral β-amino alcohols remains elusive. To solve this challenge, a radical relay chaperone strategy was designed, wherein an alcohol was transiently converted to an imidate radical that underwent intramolecular H-atom transfer (HAT). This regioselective HAT was also rendered enantioselective by harnessing energy transfer catalysis to mediate selective radical generation and interception by a chiral copper catalyst. The successful development of this multi-catalytic, asymmetric, radical C-H amination enabled broad access to chiral β-amino alcohols from a variety of alcohols containing alkyl, allyl, benzyl and propargyl C-H bonds. Mechanistic experiments revealed that triplet energy sensitization of a Cu-bound radical precursor facilitates catalyst-mediated HAT stereoselectivity, enabling the synthesis of several important classes of chiral β-amines by enantioselective, radical C-H amination.

Enantioselective Radical Construction of 5-Membered Cyclic Sulfonamides by Metalloradical C-H Amination.

Project description:Both arylsulfonyl and alkylsulfonyl azides can be effectively activated by the cobalt(II) complexes of D2-symmetric chiral amidoporphyrins for enantioselective radical 1,5-C-H amination to stereoselectively construct 5-membered cyclic sulfonamides. In addition to C-H bonds with varied electronic properties, the Co(II)-based metalloradical system features chemoselective amination of allylic C-H bonds and is compatible with heteroaryl groups, producing functionalized 5-membered chiral cyclic sulfonamides in high yields with high enantioselectivities. The unique profile of reactivity and selectivity of the Co(II)-catalyzed C-H amination is attributed to its underlying stepwise radical mechanism, which is supported by several lines of experimental evidence.
