Mechanistic insights into copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative coupling of N–N bonds† † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available: Synthesis and characterization data, kinetics time courses, and electrochemical and X-ray crystallographic data. CCDC 1949421. For ESI and crystallographic data in CIF or other electronic format see DOI: 10.1039/c9sc04305e

ABSTRACT: Catalytic N–N coupling is a valuable transformation for chemical synthesis and energy conversion. Here, mechanistic studies are presented for two related copper-catalyzed oxidative aerobic N–N coupling reactions, one involving the synthesis of a pharmaceutically relevant triazole and the other relevant to the oxidative conversion of ammonia to hydrazine. Analysis of catalytic and stoichiometric N–N coupling reactions support an “oxidase”-type catalytic mechanism with two redox half-reactions: (1) aerobic oxidation of a CuI catalyst and (2) CuII-promoted N–N coupling. Both reactions feature turnover-limiting oxidation of CuI by O2, and this step is inhibited by the N–H substrate(s). The results highlight the unexpected facility of the N–N coupling step and establish a foundation for development of improved catalysts for these transformations. Mechanistic studies provide valuable insights into Cu-catalyzed N–N coupling reactions relevant to energy conversion and pharmaceutical synthesis.

Enantioselective Vanadium-Catalyzed Oxidative Coupling: Development and Mechanistic Insights.

Project description:The evolution of a more reactive chiral vanadium catalyst for enantioselective oxidative coupling of phenols is reported, ultimately resulting in a simple monomeric vanadium species combined with a Brønsted or Lewis acid additive. The resultant vanadium complex is found to effect the asymmetric oxidative ortho-ortho coupling of simple phenols and 2-hydroxycarbazoles with good to excellent levels of enantioselectivity. Experimental and quantum mechanical studies of the mechanism indicate that the additives aggregate the vanadium monomers. In addition, a singlet to triplet crossover is implicated prior to carbon-carbon bond formation. The two lowest energy diastereomeric transition states leading to the enantiomeric products differ substantially with the path to the minor enantiomer involving greater torsional strain between the two phenol moieties.

Unlocking a self-catalytic cycle in a copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative coupling/cyclization reaction.

Project description:Presented here is a copper-catalyzed, aerobic oxidative C-H/C-H cyclization reaction, which occurs by cleaving the C-H and N-H bonds of 3-phenylindoles. A broad range of 3-phenylindoles can be well tolerated to produce the indole-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in good to excellent yields. An evaluation of the reaction mechanism is enabled by the isolation of the di- and tri-indole intermediates, highlighting the role of the substrate for this catalytic reaction. The results of these controlled experiments and kinetic studies provide solid experimental support for a self-catalysis reaction, which has rarely been observed in oxidative C-H activation reactions. Additional mechanistic studies indicate that the substrate for this reaction accelerates by the following mechanism: The substrate combines with the Cu catalyst to transform the less active di-indole intermediate into a tri-indole intermediate. This intermediate is quickly converted into the desired product along with regeneration of the substrate copper complex.

Iron-catalyzed α-C-H functionalization of π-bonds: cross-dehydrogenative coupling and mechanistic insights.

Project description:The deprotonation of propargylic C-H bonds for subsequent functionalization typically requires stoichiometric metal alkyl or amide reagents. In addition to the undesirable generation of stoichiometric metallic waste, these conditions limit the functional group compatibility and versatility of this functionalization strategy and often result in regioisomeric mixtures. In this article, we report the use of dicarbonyl cyclopentadienyliron(ii) complexes for the generation of propargylic anion equivalents toward the direct electrophilic functionalization of propargylic C-H bonds under mild, catalytic conditions. This technology was applied to the direct conversion of C-H bonds to C-C bonds for the synthesis of several functionalized scaffolds through a one-pot cross dehydrogenative coupling reaction with tetrahydroisoquinoline and related privileged heterocyclic scaffolds. A series of NMR studies and deuterium-labelling experiments indicated that the deprotonation of the propargylic C-H bond was the rate-determining step when a Cp*Fe(CO)2-based catalyst system was employed.

Copper-catalyzed enantioselective Sonogashira-type oxidative cross-coupling of unactivated C(sp<sup>3</sup>)-H bonds with alkynes.

Project description:Transition metal-catalyzed enantioselective Sonogashira-type oxidative C(sp3)-C(sp) coupling of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds with terminal alkynes has remained a prominent challenge. The difficulties mainly stem from the regiocontrol in unactivated C(sp3)-H bond functionalization and the inhibition of readily occurring Glaser homocoupling of terminal alkynes. Here, we report a copper/chiral cinchona alkaloid-based N,N,P-ligand catalyst for asymmetric oxidative cross-coupling of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds with terminal alkynes in a highly regio-, chemo-, and enantioselective manner. The use of N-fluoroamide as a mild oxidant is essential to site-selectively generate alkyl radical species while efficiently avoiding Glaser homocoupling. This reaction accommodates a range of (hetero)aryl and alkyl alkynes; (hetero)benzylic and propargylic C(sp3)-H bonds are all applicable. This process allows expedient access to chiral alkynyl amides/aldehydes. More importantly, it also provides a versatile tool for the construction of chiral C(sp3)-C(sp), C(sp3)-C(sp2), and C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds when allied with follow-up transformations.

Copper/TEMPO-Catalyzed Aerobic Alcohol Oxidation: Mechanistic Assessment of Different Catalyst Systems.

Project description:Combinations of homogeneous Cu salts and TEMPO have emerged as practical and efficient catalysts for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols. Several closely related catalyst systems have been reported, which differ in the identity of the solvent, the presence of 2,2'-bipyridine as a ligand, the identity of basic additives, and the oxidation state of the Cu source. These changes have a significant influence on the reaction rates, yields, and substrate scope. In this report, we probe the mechanistic basis for differences among four different Cu/TEMPO catalyst systems and elucidate the features that contribute to efficient oxidation of aliphatic alcohols.

Mechanistic Insights into the Aerobic Cu(I)-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of S-Acyl Thiosalicylamide Thiol Esters and Boronic Acids.

Project description:The Density Functional Theory (DFT) method is used to elucidate the nature of the active species and the mechanism of the aerobic CuI-catalyzed cross-coupling of S-acyl thiosalicylamide thiol esters and boronic acids reported previously (J. Am. Chem. Soc.2007, 129, 15734-15735; Angew. Chem., Int. Ed.2009,48, 1417-1421). The energetically lowest isomer of the proposed active species [LC(O)R1]Cu-(O2)-Cu[LC(O)R1]2+, 2a, (where L = thiolatosalicylamide) is found to be I1(OO,OO) with a ?-?2:?2-peroxo Cu2O2-core, while its isomers I2(OO,OO) with a bis-(?-O) Cu2O2-core and I3(OO,OO) with a (?-?1:?1) Cu2O2-core lie only a few kcal/mol higher and separated by 4-7kcal/mol energy barriers. In all these isomers, the thiol ester is coordinated to the Cu-centers via its two O-ends. Isomers with (SO,OO) and (SO,SO) coordination modes of the thiol esters lie slightly higher and are separated with moderate energy barriers. We found the latter isomers to be vital for the reported CuI-templated cross-coupling of S-acyl thiosalicylamide thiol esters and boronic acids under aerobic conditions. The presence of an anion (halide, carboxylate modeled as formate) in the reaction medium is found to be necessary. Its coordination to the active catalyst I1(SO,SO) is the first step of the proposed anion-assisted transmetalation by boronic acid. Overall the transmetalation reaction requires 34.0 kcal/mol and is 24.0 kcal/mol exergonic. This conclusion is in reasonable agreement with available experiments. The C-C bond formation in the transmetalation product requires a 6.3 kcal/mol lower energy barrier and is highly exergonic.

Mechanistic Insights into the FeCl<sub>3</sub>-Catalyzed Oxidative Cross-Coupling of Phenols with 2-Aminonaphthalenes.

Project description:The selective FeCl3-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling reaction between phenols and primary, secondary, and tertiary 2-aminonaphthalene derivatives was investigated. The generality of this scalable method provides a sustainable alternative for preparing N,O-biaryl compounds that are widely used as ligands and catalysts. Based on a comprehensive kinetic investigation, a catalytic cycle involving a ternary complex that binds to both the coupling partners and the oxidant during the key oxidative coupling step is postulated. Furthermore, the studies showed that the reaction is regulated by off-cycle acid-base and ligand exchange processes.

Cu-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative N-N Coupling of Carbazoles and Diarylamines Including Selective Cross-Coupling.

Project description:A Cu-catalyzed method has been identified for aerobic oxidative dimerization of carbazoles and diarylamines to the corresponding N-N coupled bicarbazoles and tetraarylhydrazines. The reactions proceed under mild conditions (1 atm O2, 60-80 °C) with a catalyst composed of CuBr·dimethylsulfide and N, N-dimethylaminopyridine. Reactions between carbazole and diarylamines show unusually selective cross-coupling, even with a 1:1 ratio of the two substrates. This behavior was found to arise from reversible formation of the tetraarylhydrazine. Formation of this species is kinetically favored, but cleavage of the N-N bond under the reaction conditions leads to selective formation of the thermodynamically favored cross-coupling product.

Copper-catalyzed diastereoselective aerobic intramolecular dehydrogenative coupling of hydrazones via sp3 C-H functionalization.

Project description:Transition metal-catalyzed cross dehydrogenative coupling is an important tool for functionalization of the ? Csp3-H bond of amines. Among this reaction category, copper-catalyzed selective C-C bond formation under atmospheric O2 is of considerable research interest and significant progress has been achieved in recent years. In comparison, development of the intramolecular version of this transformation is still in its infancy. Furthermore, diastereoselective cyclization with this transformation has not been achieved. Here, we describe the highly diastereoselective intramolecular dehydrogenative cyclization of N,N-disubstituted hydrazones by a copper-catalyzed sp3 C-H bond functionalization process. The reaction protocol utilizes O2 as the oxidant and shows great functional group compatibility. Computational studies suggest that a 5-center/6-electron disrotatory cyclization mechanism is probably involved in the process for controlling the diastereoselectivity. This work represents the first example of a copper-catalyzed, direct intramolecular diastereoselective coupling reaction via an iminium ion intermediate. Additionally, it provides an environmentally friendly and atom efficient approach to access substituted pyrazolines, an important structural unit in many biologically active compounds.
