Mechanistic Origins of Regioselectivity in Cobalt-Catalyzed C(sp²)-H Borylation of Benzoate Esters and Arylboronate Esters.

ABSTRACT: Synthetic and mechanistic investigations into the C(sp²)-H borylation of various electronically diverse arenes catalyzed by bis(phosphine)pyridine (^iPrPNP) cobalt complexes are reported. Borylation of various benzoate esters and arylboronate esters gave remarkably high selectivities for the position para to the functional group; in both cases, this regioselectivity was found to override the ortho to fluorine regioselectivity previously reported for (^iPrPNP)Co borylation catalysts which arises from thermodynamic control of C(sp²)-H oxidative addition. Mechanistic studies support two distinct pathways that result in para-to-ester and para-to-boronate ester regioselectivity by thermodynamic and kinetic control, respectively, of C(sp²)-H oxidative addition. Borylation of a particularly electron-deficient fluorinated arylboronate ester resulted in acceleration of C(sp²)-H oxidative addition and concomitant inversion of regioselectivity, demonstrating that subtle changes in the relative rates of individual steps of the catalytic cycle can enable unique and switchable site selectivities.

Mechanistic Studies of Cobalt-Catalyzed C(sp2)-H Borylation of Five-Membered Heteroarenes with Pinacolborane.

Project description:Studies into the mechanism of cobalt-catalyzed C(sp2)-H borylation of five-membered heteroarenes with pinacolborane (HBPin) as the boron source established the catalyst resting state as the trans-cobalt(III) dihydride boryl, (iPrPNP)Co(H)2(BPin) (iPrPNP = 2,6-(iPr2PCH2)2(C5H3N)), at both low and high substrate conversions. The overall first-order rate law and observation of a normal deuterium kinetic isotope effect on the borylation of benzofuran versus benzofuran-2-d1 support H2 reductive elimination from the cobalt(III) dihydride boryl as the turnover-limiting step. These findings stand in contrast to that established previously for the borylation of 2,6-lutidine with the same cobalt precatalyst, where borylation of the 4-position of the pincer occurred faster than the substrate turnover and arene C-H activation by a cobalt(I) boryl is turnover-limiting. Evaluation of the catalytic activity of different cobalt precursors in the C-H borylation of benzofuran with HBPin established that the ligand design principles for C- H borylation depend on the identities of both the arene and the boron reagent used: electron-donating groups improve catalytic activity of the borylation of pyridines and arenes with B2Pin2, whereas electron-withdrawing groups improve catalytic activity of the borylation of five-membered heteroarenes with HBPin. Catalyst deactivation by P-C bond cleavage from a cobalt(I) hydride was observed in the C-H borylation of arene substrates with C-H bonds that are less acidic than those of five-membered heteroarenes using HBPin and explains the requirement of B2Pin2 to achieve synthetically useful yields with these arene substrates.

Origins of Regioselectivity in Iridium Catalyzed Allylic Substitution.

Project description:Detailed studies on the origin of the regioselectivity for formation of branched products over linear products have been conducted with complexes containing the achiral triphenylphosphite ligand. The combination of iridium and P(OPh)3 was the first catalytic system shown to give high regioselectivity for the branched product with iridium and among the most selective for forming branched products among any combination of metal and ligand. We have shown the active catalyst to be generated from [Ir(COD)Cl]2 and P(OPh)3 by cyclometalation of the phenyl group on the ligand and have shown such species to be the resting state of the catalyst. A series of allyliridium complexes ligated by the resulting P,C ligand have been generated and shown to be competent intermediates in the catalytic system. We have assessed the potential impact of charge, metal-iridium bond length, and stability of terminal vs internal alkenes generated by attack at the branched and terminal positions of the allyl ligand, respectively. These factors do not distinguish the regioselectivity for attack on allyliridium complexes from that for attack on allylpalladium complexes. Instead, detailed computational studies suggest that a series of weak, attractive, noncovalent interactions, including interactions of H-bond acceptors with a vinyl C-H bond of the alkene ligand, favor formation of the branched product with the iridium catalyst. This conclusion underscores the importance of considering attractive interactions, as well as repulsive steric interactions, when seeking to rationalize selectivities.

Effect of Pincer Methylation on the Selectivity and Activity in (PNP)Cobalt-Catalyzed C(sp2)-H Borylation.

Project description:Cobalt complexes supported by a tetramethylated PNP pincer ligand (Me4 iPrPNP = 2,6-(iPr2PCMe2)2(C5H3N)) have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Examples include cobalt(I)-choride, -methyl, -aryl and -benzofuranyl derivatives. The performance of these compounds was evaluated in the catalytic borylation of fluorinated arenes using B2Pin2 as the boron source. While P-C bond cleavage, a known deactivation pathway in [(PNP)Co]-catalyzed borylation was suppressed, the overall activity and selectivity of the borylation of fluoroarenes was reduced as compared to the previously reported [(PNP)Co] catalyst lacking isopropylene spacers. Stoichiometric reactions support an increased barrier for oxidative addition to cobalt(I), a result of the increased steric profile and decreased conformational flexibility of the pincer resulting from methylation distal to the active site. With a more activated substrate such as benzofuran, catalytic borylation with cobalt(I) precatalysts and HBPin was observed. Monitoring the progress of the reaction by NMR spectroscopy revealed the presence of cobalt(III) intermediates during the course of the borylation, supporting a cobalt(I)-(III) redox cycle.

Cobalt-Catalyzed Borylation of Fluorinated Arenes: Thermodynamic Control of C(sp2)-H Oxidative Addition Results in ortho-to-Fluorine Selectivity.

Project description:The mechanism of C(sp2)-H borylation of fluorinated arenes with B2Pin2 (Pin = pinacolato) catalyzed by bis(phosphino)pyridine (iPrPNP) cobalt complexes was studied to understand the origins of the uniquely high ortho-to-fluorine regioselectivity observed in these reactions. Variable time normalization analysis (VTNA) of reaction time courses and deuterium kinetic isotope effect measurements established a kinetic regime wherein C(sp2)-H oxidative addition is fast and reversible. Monitoring the reaction by in situ NMR spectroscopy revealed the intermediacy of a cobalt(I)-aryl complex that was generated with the same high ortho-to-fluorine regioselectivity associated with the overall catalytic transformation. Deuterium labeling experiments and stoichiometric studies established C(sp2)-H oxidative addition of the fluorinated arene as the selectivity-determining step of the reaction. This step favors the formation of ortho-fluoroaryl cobalt intermediates due to the ortho fluorine effect, a phenomenon whereby ortho fluorine substituents stabilize transition metal-carbon bonds. Computational studies provided evidence that the cobalt-carbon bonds of the relevant intermediates in (iPrPNP)Co-catalyzed borylation are strengthened with increasing ortho fluorine substitution. The atypical kinetic regime involving fast and reversible C(sp2)-H oxidative addition in combination with the thermodynamic preference for forming cobalt-aryl bonds adjacent to fluorinated sites are the origin of the high regioselectivity in the catalytic borylation reaction.

Copper‐Catalyzed Borylation of Cyclic Sulfamidates: Access to Enantiomerically Pure (β‐and γ‐Aminoalkyl)boronic Esters.

Project description:AbstractCyclic sulfamidates undergo borylation under copper‐catalyzed conditions using Bpin to give enantiomerically (and diasteromerically) defined (aminoalkyl)boronic esters. External iodide is essential, but the intermediacy of simple alkyl iodides has been excluded; ‐sulfated intermediates are key in the borylation sequence. Based on stereochemical studies and trapping experiments, the involvement of carbon‐centered radicals under these copper‐catalyzed conditions appears likely.

Mechanism of the cobalt oxazoline palladacycle (COP)-catalyzed asymmetric synthesis of allylic esters.

Project description:The catalytic enantioselective S(N)2' displacement of (Z)-allylic trichloroacetimidates catalyzed by the palladium(II) complex [COP-OAc](2) is a broadly useful method for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral branched allylic esters. A variety of experiments aimed at elucidating the nature of the catalytic mechanism and its rate- and enantiodetermining steps are reported. Key findings include the following: (a) the demonstration that a variety of bridged-dipalladium complexes are present and constitute resting states of the COP catalyst (however, monomeric palladium(II) complexes are likely involved in the catalytic cycle); (b) labeling experiments establishing that the reaction proceeds in an overall antarafacial fashion; (c) secondary deuterium kinetic isotope effects that suggest substantial rehybridization at both C1 and C3 in the rate-limiting step; and (d) DFT computational studies (B3-LYP/def2-TZVP) that provide evidence for bidentate substrate-bound intermediates and an anti-oxypalladation/syn-deoxypalladation pathway. These results are consistent with a novel mechanism in which chelation of the imidate nitrogen to form a cationic palladium(II) intermediate activates the alkene for attack by external carboxylate in the enantiodetermining step. Computational modeling of the transition-state structure for the acyloxy palladation step provides a model for enantioinduction.

Origins of regioselectivity and alkene-directing effects in nickel-catalyzed reductive couplings of alkynes and aldehydes.

Project description:The origins of reactivity and regioselectivity in nickel-catalyzed reductive coupling reactions of alkynes and aldehydes were investigated with density functional calculations. The regioselectivities of reactions of simple alkynes are controlled by steric effects, while conjugated enynes and diynes are predicted to have increased reactivity and very high regioselectivities, placing alkenyl or alkynyl groups distal to the forming C-C bond. The reactions of enynes and diynes involve 1,4-attack of the Ni-carbonyl complex on the conjugated enyne or diyne. The consequences of these conclusions on reaction design are discussed.

Copper-mediated fluorination of arylboronate esters. Identification of a copper(III) fluoride complex.

Project description:A method for the direct conversion of arylboronate esters to aryl fluorides under mild conditions with readily available reagents is reported. Tandem reactions have also been developed for the fluorination of arenes and aryl bromides through arylboronate ester intermediates. Mechanistic studies suggest that this fluorination reaction occurs through facile oxidation of Cu(I) to Cu(III), followed by rate-limiting transmetalation of a bound arylboronate to Cu(III). Fast C-F reductive elimination is proposed to occur from an aryl-copper(III)-fluoride complex. Cu(III) intermediates have been generated independently and identified by NMR spectroscopy and ESI-MS.
