Cu(OTf)₂ -Mediated Cross-Coupling of Nitriles and N-Heterocycles with Arylboronic Acids to Generate Nitrilium and Pyridinium Products*.

ABSTRACT: Metal-catalyzed C-N cross-coupling generally forms C-N bonds by reductive elimination from metal complexes bearing covalent C- and N-ligands. We have identified a Cu-mediated C-N cross-coupling that uses a dative N-ligand in the bond-forming event, which, in contrast to conventional methods, generates reactive cationic products. Mechanistic studies suggest the process operates via transmetalation of an aryl organoboron to a Cu^II complex bearing neutral N-ligands, such as nitriles or N-heterocycles. Subsequent generation of a putative Cu^III complex enables the oxidative C-N coupling to take place, delivering nitrilium intermediates and pyridinium products. The reaction is general for a range of N(sp) and N(sp² ) precursors and can be applied to drug synthesis and late-stage N-arylation, and the limitations in the methodology are mechanistically evidenced.

Pd-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative Biaryl Coupling: Non-Redox Cocatalysis by Cu(OTf)2 and Discovery of Fe(OTf)3 as a Highly Effective Cocatalyst.

Project description:Copper salts find widespread use in Pd-catalyzed oxidation reactions, and they are typically used as oxidants or redox-active cocatalysts. Here, we probe the origin of a dramatic acceleration effect of Cu(OTf)2 in the C-H/C-H aerobic oxidative coupling of o-xylene. NMR spectroscopic analysis of the PdII catalyst in the presence of Cu(OTf)2, together with other experimental and DFT computational studies of the catalytic reaction, show that Cu(OTf)2 activates the PdII catalyst for C-H activation via a non-redox pathway and has negligible impact on catalyst reoxidation. These observations led to the testing of other metal triflate salts as cocatalysts, the results of which show that Fe(OTf)3 is even more effective than Cu(OTf)2.

Mild Cu(OTf)2-Mediated C-Glycosylation with Chelation-Assisted Picolinate as a Leaving Group.

Project description:C-Glycosylation reactions of glycosyl picolinates with allyltrimethylsilane or silyl enol ethers were developed. Picolinate as a chelation-assisted leaving group could be activated by Cu(OTf)2 and avoided the use of harsh Lewis acids. The glycosylations were operated under mild neutral conditions and gave the corresponding C-glycosides in up to 95% yield with moderate to excellent stereoselectivities.

Cu(OTf)2-catalyzed Beckmann Rearrangement of Ketones Using Hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic Acid (HOSA).

Project description:The Beckmann Rearrangement (BKR) of ketones to secondary amides often requires harsh reaction conditions that limit its practicality and scope. Herein, we describe the Cu(OTf)2-catalyzed BKR of ketones under mild reaction conditions using hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid (HOSA), a commercial water soluble aminating agent. This method is compatible with most functional groups and directly provides the desired amides in good to excellent yields.

Three-component coupling approach for the synthesis of diverse heterocycles utilizing reactive nitrilium trapping.

Project description:The formation of an unexpected heterocyclic scaffold, a benzoxazole, in a three-component reaction between a ketone, isocyanide, and 2-aminophenol was encountered. This reaction involved a benzo[b][1,4]oxazine intermediate resulting from intramolecular attack of the aminophenol hydroxyl group on the nitrilium ion. Unlike previous literature examples, the trapped nitrilium benzo[b][1,4]oxazine could readily be subjected to ring opening with bis-nucleophiles. The reaction scope includes simple linear as well as complex cyclic ketones and substituted 2-aminophenols. A representative benzoxazole product could be further diversified to yield drug-like compounds.

Direct C-H arylation of electron-deficient heterocycles with arylboronic acids.

Project description:A direct arylation of a variety of electron-deficient heterocycles with arylboronic acids has been developed. This new reaction proceeds readily at room temperature using inexpensive reagents: catalytic silver(I) nitrate in the presence of persulfate co-oxidant. The scope with respect to heterocycle and boronic acid coupling partner is broad, and sensitive functional groups are tolerated. This method allows for rapid access to a variety of arylated heterocycles that would be more difficult to access with traditional methods.

CO2 Reduction Selective for C?2 Products on Polycrystalline Copper with N-Substituted Pyridinium Additives.

Project description:Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to generate multicarbon products is of interest for applications in artificial photosynthetic schemes. This is a particularly attractive goal for CO2 reduction by copper electrodes, where a broad range of hydrocarbon products can be generated but where selectivity for C-C coupled products relative to CH4 and H2 remains an impediment. Herein we report a simple yet highly selective catalytic system for CO2 reduction to C?2 hydrocarbons on a polycrystalline Cu electrode in bicarbonate aqueous solution that uses N-substituted pyridinium additives. Selectivities of 70-80% for C2 and C3 products with a hydrocarbon ratio of C?2/CH4 significantly greater than 100 have been observed with several additives. 13C-labeling studies verify CO2 to be the sole carbon source in the C?2 hydrocarbons produced. Upon electroreduction, the N-substituted pyridinium additives lead to film deposition on the Cu electrode, identified in one case as the reductive coupling product of N-arylpyridinium. Product selectivity can also be tuned from C?2 species to H2 (?90%) while suppressing methane with certain N-heterocyclic additives.

Synthesis of 1,2,4-Trisubstituted-(1H)-imidazoles through Cu(OTf)2-/I2-Catalyzed C-C Bond Cleavage of Chalcones and Benzylamines.

Project description:1,2,4-Trisubstituted-(1H)-imidazoles have been synthesized by the Cu(OTf)2- and I2-catalyzed unusual C-C bond cleavage of chalcones and benzylamines. After the α,β-unsaturated C-C bond cleavage, the β-portion is eliminated from the reaction. Various aryl- and heteroaryl-substituted chalcones and benzylamines were well tolerated in this unusual transformation to yield the trisubstituted-(1H)-imidazoles.

Bi(OTf)3-catalysed intramolecular cyclisation of unsaturated acetals.

Project description:A series of highly functionalized carbocycles was efficiently prepared via the selective cyclisation of unsaturated acetals and ketals in the presence of only 1 mol% of Bi(iii) or Fe(iii) triflates as the catalysts at room temperature, with yields ranging from 60 to 90%. With Bi(OTf)3 catalysis, α,β-unsaturated ether carbocycles are formed selectively, whereas with the Fe(OTf)3 system, a cycloisomerisation to carbocyclic diethers is mainly obtained. This acetal/olefin cyclisation could be run at a multi-gram scale and compound 2c could be obtained on a 300 gram-scale with a yield of 69% after precipitation in hexane.

A scalable method for preparing Cu electrocatalysts that convert CO2 into C2+ products.

Project description:Development of efficient catalysts for selective electroreduction of CO2 to high-value products is essential for the deployment of carbon utilization technologies. Here we present a scalable method for preparing Cu electrocatalysts that favor CO2 conversion to C2+ products with faradaic efficiencies up to 72%. Grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction data confirms that anodic halogenation of electropolished Cu foils in aqueous solutions of KCl, KBr, or KI creates surfaces of CuCl, CuBr, or CuI, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy studies show that significant changes to the morphology of Cu occur during anodic halogenation and subsequent oxide-formation and reduction, resulting in catalysts with a high density of defect sites but relatively low roughness. This work shows that efficient conversion of CO2 to C2+ products requires a Cu catalyst with a high density of defect sites that promote adsorption of carbon intermediates and C-C coupling reactions while minimizing roughness.
