Exploiting single-electron transfer in Lewis pairs for catalytic bond-forming reactions.

ABSTRACT: A single-electron transfer (SET) between tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (B(C₆F₅)₃) and N,N-dialkylanilines is reported, which is operative via the formation of an electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex involving π-orbital interactions as a key intermediate under dark conditions or visible-light irradiation depending on the structure of the aniline derivatives. This inherent SET in the Lewis pairs initiates the generation of the corresponding α-aminoalkyl radicals and their additions to electron-deficient olefins, revealing the ability of B(C₆F₅)₃ to act as an effective one-electron redox catalyst.

Photoinduced and Thermal Single-Electron Transfer to Generate Radicals from Frustrated Lewis Pairs.

Project description:Archetypal phosphine/borane frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) are famed for their ability to activate small molecules. The mechanism is generally believed to involve two-electron processes. However, the detection of radical intermediates indicates that single-electron transfer (SET) generating frustrated radical pairs could also play an important role. These highly reactive radical species typically have significantly higher energy than the FLP, which prompted this investigation into their formation. Herein, we provide evidence that the classical phosphine/borane combinations PMes3 /B(C6 F5 )3 and PtBu3 /B(C6 F5 )3 both form an electron donor-acceptor (charge-transfer) complex that undergoes visible-light-induced SET to form the corresponding highly reactive radical-ion pairs. Subsequently, we show that by tuning the properties of the Lewis acid/base pair, the energy required for SET can be reduced to become thermally accessible.

Ground-State Electron Transfer as an Initiation Mechanism for Biocatalytic C-C Bond Forming Reactions.

Project description:The development of non-natural reaction mechanisms is an attractive strategy for expanding the synthetic capabilities of substrate promiscuous enzymes. Here, we report an "ene"-reductase catalyzed asymmetric hydroalkylation of olefins using α-bromoketones as radical precursors. Radical initiation occurs via ground-state electron transfer from the flavin cofactor located within the enzyme active site, an underrepresented mechanism in flavin biocatalysis. Four rounds of site saturation mutagenesis were used to access a variant of the "ene"-reductase nicotinamide-dependent cyclohexanone reductase (NCR) from Zymomonas mobiles capable of catalyzing a cyclization to furnish β-chiral cyclopentanones with high levels of enantioselectivity. Additionally, wild-type NCR can catalyze intermolecular couplings with precise stereochemical control over the radical termination step. This report highlights the utility for ground-state electron transfers to enable non-natural biocatalytic C-C bond forming reactions.

Single-Electron Transfer in Frustrated Lewis Pair Chemistry.

Project description:Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) are well known for their ability to activate small molecules. Recent reports of radical formation within such systems indicate single-electron transfer (SET) could play an important role in their chemistry. Herein, we investigate radical formation upon reacting FLP systems with dihydrogen, triphenyltin hydride, or tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone (TCQ) both experimentally and computationally to determine the nature of the single-electron transfer (SET) events; that is, being direct SET to B(C6 F5 )3 or not. The reactions of H2 and Ph3 SnH with archetypal P/B FLP systems do not proceed via a radical mechanism. In contrast, reaction with TCQ proceeds via SET, which is only feasible by Lewis acid coordination to the substrate. Furthermore, SET from the Lewis base to the Lewis acid-substrate adduct may be prevalent in other reported examples of radical FLP chemistry, which provides important design principles for radical main-group chemistry.

Phosphinocyclodextrins as confining units for catalytic metal centres. Applications to carbon-carbon bond forming reactions.

Project description:The capacity of two cavity-shaped ligands, HUGPHOS-1 and HUGPHOS-2, to generate exclusively singly phosphorus-ligated complexes, in which the cyclodextrin cavity tightly wraps around the metal centre, was explored with a number of late transition metal cations. Both cyclodextrin-derived ligands were assessed in palladium-catalysed Mizoroki-Heck coupling reactions between aryl bromides and styrene on one hand, and the rhodium-catalysed asymmetric hydroformylation of styrene on the other hand. The inability of both chiral ligands to form standard bis(phosphine) complexes under catalytic conditions was established by high-pressure NMR studies and shown to have a deep impact on the two carbon-carbon bond forming reactions both in terms of activity and selectivity. For example, when used as ligands in the rhodium-catalysed hydroformylation of styrene, they lead to both high isoselectivity and high enantioselectivity. In the study dealing with the Mizoroki-Heck reactions, comparative tests were carried out with WIDEPHOS, a diphosphine analogue of HUGPHOS-2.

Exploiting the Electronic Tuneability of Carboranes as Supports for Frustrated Lewis Pairs.

Project description:The first example of a carborane with a catecholborolyl substituent, [1-Bcat-2-Ph-closo-1,2-C?B10H10] (1), has been prepared and characterized and shown to act as the Lewis acid component of an intermolecular frustrated Lewis pair in catalyzing a Michael addition. In combination with B(C?F?)? the C-carboranylphosphine [1-PPh?-closo-1,2-C?B10H11] (IVa) is found to be comparable with PPh?(C?F?) in its ability to catalyze hydrosilylation, whilst the more strongly basic B-carboranylphosphine [9-PPh?-closo-1,7-C?B10H11] (V) is less effective and the very weakly basic species [?-2,2'-PPh-{1-(1'-1',2'-closo-C?B10H10)-1,2-closo-C?B10H10}] (IX) is completely ineffective. Base strengths are rank-ordered via measurement of the ¹J 31P-77Se coupling constants of the phosphineselenides [1-SePPh?-closo-1,2-C?B10H11] (2), [9-SePPh?-closo-1,7-C?B10H11] (3), and [SePPh?(C?F?)] (4).

Single Electron Transfer to Diazomethane-Borane Adducts Prompts C-H Bond Activations.

Project description:While (Ph2 CN2 )B(C6 F5 )3 is unstable, single electron transfer from Cp*2 Co affords the isolation of stable products [Cp*2 Co][Ph2 CNNHB(C6 F5 )3 ] 1 and [Cp*Co(C5 Me4 CH2 B(C6 F5 )3 )] 2. The analogous combination of Ph2 CN2 and BPh3 showed no evidence of adduct formation and yet single electron transfer from Cp*2 Cr affords the species [Cp*2 Cr][PhC(C6 H4 )NNBPh3 ] 3 and [Cp*2 Cr][Ph2 CNNHBPh3 ] 4. Computations showed both reactions proceed via transient radical anions of the diphenyldiazomethane-borane adducts to effect C-H bond activations.

Halogen-Bond Assisted Photoinduced Electron Transfer.

Project description:The formation of a halogen-bond (XB) complex in the excited state was recently reported with a quadrupolar acceptor-donor-acceptor dye in two iodine-based liquids (J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 2017, 8, 3927-3932). The ultrafast decay of this excited complex to the ground state was ascribed to an electron transfer quenching by the XB donors. We examined the mechanism of this process by investigating the quenching dynamics of the dye in the S1 state using the same two iodo-compounds diluted in inert solvents. The results were compared with those obtained with a non-halogenated electron acceptor, fumaronitrile. Whereas quenching by fumaronitrile was found to be diffusion controlled, that by the two XB compounds is slower, despite a larger driving force for electron transfer. A Smoluchowski-Collins-Kimball analysis of the excited-state population decays reveals that both the intrinsic quenching rate constant and the quenching radius are significantly smaller with the XB compounds. These results point to much stronger orientational constraint for quenching with the XB compounds, indicating that electron transfer occurs upon formation of the halogen bond.

Aromatic cations from oxidative carbon-hydrogen bond cleavage in bimolecular carbon-carbon bond forming reactions.

Project description:Chromenes and isochromenes react quickly with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) to form persistent aromatic oxocarbenium ions through oxidative carbon-hydrogen cleavage. This process is tolerant of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups on the benzene ring and additional substitution on the pyran ring. A variety of nucleophiles can be added to these cations to generate a diverse set of structures.
