Iron-catalyzed remote functionalization of inert C(sp³)-H bonds of alkenes via 1,n-hydrogen-atom-transfer by C-centered radical relay.

ABSTRACT: As an alternative approach to traditional C-H activation that often involved harsh conditions, and vicinal or primary C-H functionalization, radical relay offers a solution to these long-held problems. Enabled by 1,n (n = 5, 6)-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), we use a most prevalent moiety, alkene, as the precursor to an sp³ C-centered radical to promote selective cleavage of inert C(sp³)-H bonds for the generation of azidotrifluoromethylated molecules. Mild conditions, broad scope and excellent regioselective control (>20 : 1) are observed in the reactions. Deuterium labelling studies disclose the kinetic characteristics of the transformations and verify a direct 1,n-HAT pathway. The key to this C-centered radical relay is that iron plays a dual role as a radical initiator and terminator to incorporate the azide functionality through radical oxidation via azido-ligand-transfer. The methods and the later derivatization promise expeditious synthesis of CF₃-containing organic azides, γ-lactam and triazoles that are widely used in designing new fluorescent tags and functional materials.

Copper-catalyzed carbo-difluoromethylation of alkenes via radical relay.

Project description:Organic molecules that contain alkyl-difluoromethyl moieties have received increased attention in medicinal chemistry, but their synthesis in a modular and late-stage fashion remains challenging. We report herein an efficient copper-catalyzed radical relay approach for the carbo-difluoromethylation of alkenes. This approach simultaneously introduces CF2H groups along with complex alkyl or aryl groups into alkenes with regioselectivity opposite to traditional CF2H radical addition. We demonstrate a broad substrate scope and a wide functional group compatibility. This scalable protocol is applied to the late-stage functionalization of complex molecules and the synthesis of CF2H analogues of bioactive molecules. Mechanistic studies and density functional theory calculations suggest a unique ligand effect on the reactivity of the Cu-CF2H species.

Functionalization of α-C(sp3 )-H Bonds in Amides Using Radical Translocating Arylating Groups.

Project description:α-C-H arylation of N-alkylamides using 2-iodoarylsulfonyl radical translocating arylating (RTA) groups is reported. The method allows the construction of α-quaternary carbon centers in amides. Various mono- and disubstituted RTA-groups are applied to the arylation of primary, secondary, and tertiary α-C(sp3 )-H-bonds. These radical transformations proceed in good to excellent yields and the cascades comprise a 1,6-hydrogen atom transfer, followed by a 1,4-aryl migration with subsequent SO2 extrusion.

Intermolecular selective carboacylation of alkenes via nickel-catalyzed reductive radical relay.

Project description:The development of catalytic carboacylation of simple olefins, which would enable the rapid construction of ketones with high levels of complexity and diversity, is very challenging. To date, the vast majority of alkene carboacylation reactions are typically restricted to single- and two-component methodologies. Here we describe a three-component carboacylation of alkenes via the merger of radical chemistry with nickel catalysis. This reaction manifold utilizes a radical relay strategy involving radical addition to an alkene followed by alkyl radical capture by an acyl-nickel complex to forge two vicinal C-C bonds under mild conditions. Excellent chemoselectivity and regioselectivity have been achieved by utilizing a pendant weakly chelating group. This versatile protocol allows for facile access to a wide range of important ?-fluoroalkyl ketones from simple starting materials.

Photo-Induced Ruthenium-Catalyzed Double Remote C(sp2 )-H / C(sp3 )-H Functionalizations by Radical Relay.

Project description:Distal C(sp2 )-H and C(sp3 )-H functionalizations have recently emerged as step-economical tools for molecular synthesis. However, while the C(sp2 )-C(sp3 ) construction is of fundamental importance, its formation through double remote C(sp2 )-H/C(sp3 )-H activation has proven elusive. By merging the ruthenium-catalyzed meta-C(sp2 )-H functionalization with an aliphatic hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) process, we, herein, describe the catalyzed twofold remote C(sp2 )-H/C(sp3 )-H functionalizations via photo-induced ruthenium-mediated radical relay. Thus, meta-C(sp2 )-H arene bonds and remote C(sp3 )-H alkane bonds were activated by a single catalyst in a single operation. This process was accomplished at room temperature by visible light-notably without exogenous photocatalysts. Experimental and computational theory studies uncovered a manifold comprising ortho-C-H activation, single-electron-transfer (SET), 1,n-HAT (n=5-7) and σ-activation by means of a single ruthenium(II) catalyst.

Remote C-H functionalization using radical translocating arylating groups.

Project description:Site selective chemical functionalization at unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds is highly challenging and recent successful studies mostly focus on the use of transition metal catalysis in combination with directing groups. Radical chemistry offers a complementary approach with the Barton and the Hofmann-Löffler-Freytag reactions being landmark contributions in the area of remote C-H functionalization at unactivated aliphatic sites. Herein we introduce the concept of radical translocation arylation at unactivated secondary and tertiary C(sp3)-H bonds in various alcohols. The straightforward two-step sequence comprises an ionic alcohol sulfonylation with especially designed ortho-iodoaryl sulfonyl chlorides followed by a radical cascade reaction including aryl radical generation, remote radical translocation, aryl migration, reduction, and SO2 extrusion to give the corresponding γ-arylated alcohols. Moderate to good yields are obtained, remote C-H arylation occurs with excellent regioselectivity and for secondary C(sp3)-H bonds good to excellent stereoselectivity is achieved.

Enantioselective cyanation of benzylic C-H bonds via copper-catalyzed radical relay.

Project description:Direct methods for stereoselective functionalization of sp3-hybridized carbon-hydrogen [C(sp3)-H] bonds in complex organic molecules could facilitate much more efficient preparation of therapeutics and agrochemicals. Here, we report a copper-catalyzed radical relay pathway for enantioselective conversion of benzylic C-H bonds into benzylic nitriles. Hydrogen-atom abstraction affords an achiral benzylic radical that undergoes asymmetric C(sp3)-CN bond formation upon reaction with a chiral copper catalyst. The reactions proceed efficiently at room temperature with the benzylic substrate as limiting reagent, exhibit broad substrate scope with high enantioselectivity (typically 90 to 99% enantiomeric excess), and afford products that are key precursors to important bioactive molecules. Mechanistic studies provide evidence for diffusible organic radicals and highlight the difference between these reactions and C-H oxidations mediated by enzymes and other catalysts that operate via radical rebound pathways.

A general strategy for C(sp3)-H functionalization with nucleophiles using methyl radical as a hydrogen atom abstractor.

Project description:Photoredox catalysis has provided many approaches to C(sp3)-H functionalization that enable selective oxidation and C(sp3)-C bond formation via the intermediacy of a carbon-centered radical. While highly enabling, functionalization of the carbon-centered radical is largely mediated by electrophilic reagents. Notably, nucleophilic reagents represent an abundant and practical reagent class, motivating the interest in developing a general C(sp3)-H functionalization strategy with nucleophiles. Here we describe a strategy that transforms C(sp3)-H bonds into carbocations via sequential hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and oxidative radical-polar crossover. The resulting carbocation is functionalized by a variety of nucleophiles-including halides, water, alcohols, thiols, an electron-rich arene, and an azide-to effect diverse bond formations. Mechanistic studies indicate that HAT is mediated by methyl radical-a previously unexplored HAT agent with differing polarity to many of those used in photoredox catalysis-enabling new site-selectivity for late-stage C(sp3)-H functionalization.

Hydroxy-directed fluorination of remote unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds: a new age of diastereoselective radical fluorination.

Project description:We report a photochemically induced, hydroxy-directed fluorination that addresses the prevailing challenge of high diastereoselectivity in this burgeoning field. Numerous simple and complex motifs showcase a spectrum of regio- and stereochemical outcomes based on the configuration of the hydroxy group. Notable examples include a long-sought switch in the selectivity of the refractory sclareolide core, an override of benzylic fluorination, and a rare case of 3,3'-difluorination. Furthermore, calculations illuminate a low barrier transition state for fluorination, supporting our notion that alcohols are engaged in coordinated reagent direction. A hydrogen bonding interaction between the innate hydroxy directing group and fluorine is also highlighted for several substrates with 19F-1H HOESY experiments, calculations, and more.

Differentiation and functionalization of remote C-H bonds in adjacent positions.

Project description:Site-selective functionalization of C-H bonds will ultimately afford chemists transformative tools for editing and constructing complex molecular architectures. Towards this goal, it is essential to develop strategies to activate C-H bonds that are distal from a functional group. In this context, distinguishing remote C-H bonds on adjacent carbon atoms is an extraordinary challenge due to the lack of electronic or steric bias between the two positions. Herein, we report the design of a catalytic system leveraging a remote directing template and a transient norbornene mediator to selectively activate a previously inaccessible remote C-H bond that is one bond further away. The generality of this approach has been demonstrated with a range of heterocycles, including a complex anti-leukaemia agent and hydrocinnamic acid substrates.

Factors Controlling Reactivity in the Hydrogen Atom Transfer and Radical Addition Steps of a Radical Relay Cascade.

Project description:DFT exploration of 1,5- and 1,6-hydrogen atom transfers (HAT), radical addition, and relay to alkene is reported. The reactivity of 1,5- and 1,6-HAT are similar. We also explored reactions involving a multiple radical transferring process. Initially generated radicals undergo a multiple HAT process to form multiple bonds in a "relay" fashion, provided by exquisitely balanced rates.
