Anti-Markovnikov Hydroazidation of Activated Olefins via Organic Photoredox Catalysis.

ABSTRACT: Organic azides serve as synthetically useful surrogates for primary amines, a functional group which is ubiquitous in bioactive and medicinally relevant molecules. Historically, the formal hydroazidation of simple activated olefins and styrenes has proven difficult due to the inherent propensity of these compounds to oligomerize. Herein is disclosed a method for the anti-Markovnikov hydroazidation of activated olefins, catalyzed by an organic acridinium salt under irradiation from blue LEDs. This method is applicable to a variety of substituted and terminal styrenes and several vinyl ethers, yielding synthetically versatile hydroazidation products in moderate to excellent yield.

Direct Intermolecular Anti-Markovnikov Hydroazidation of Unactivated Olefins.

Project description:We herein report a direct intermolecular anti-Markovnikov hydroazidation method for unactivated olefins, which is promoted by a catalytic amount of bench-stable benziodoxole at ambient temperature. This method facilitates previously difficult, direct addition of hydrazoic acid across a wide variety of unactivated olefins in both complex molecules and unfunctionalized commodity chemicals. It conveniently fills a synthetic chemistry gap of existing olefin hydroazidation procedures, and thereby provides a valuable tool for azido-group labeling in organic synthesis and chemical biology studies.

Iron-Mediated Photochemical Anti-Markovnikov Hydroazidation of Unactivated Olefins.

Project description:Unactivated olefins are converted to alkyl azides with bench-stable NaN3 in the presence of FeCl3·6H2O under blue-light irradiation. The products are obtained with anti-Markovnikov selectivity, and the reaction can be performed under mild ambient conditions in the presence of air and moisture. The transformation displays broad functional group tolerance, which renders it suitable for functionalization of complex molecules. Mechanistic investigations are conducted to provide insight into the hydroazidation reaction and reveal the role of water from the iron hydrate as the H atom source.

Anti-Markovnikov hydro(amino)alkylation of vinylarenes via photoredox catalysis.

Project description:Photoredox catalysis is a powerful means to generate odd-electron species under mild reaction conditions from a wide array of radical precursors. Herein, we present the application of this powerful catalytic manifold to address the hydroalkylation and hydroaminoalkylation of electronically diverse vinylarenes. This reaction allows for generalized alkene hydroalkylation leveraging common alkyl radical precursors, such as organotrifluoroborate salts and carboxylic acids. Furthermore, utilizing easily accessible α-silyl amine reagents or tertiary amines directly, secondary and tertiary amine moieties can be installed onto monoaryl and diaryl alkenes to access valuable products, including γ,γ-diarylamines pharmacophores. Thus, under a unified system, both hydroalkylation and hydroaminoalkylation of alkenes are achieved. The substrate scope is evaluated through 57 examples, the synthetic utility of the method is demonstrated, and preliminary mechanistic insights are presented.

Mechanistic insight into the photoredox catalysis of anti-markovnikov alkene hydrofunctionalization reactions.

Project description:We describe our efforts to understand the key mechanistic aspects of the previously reported alkene hydrofunctionalization reactions using 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium (Mes-Acr(+)) as a photoredox catalyst. Importantly, we are able to detect alkene cation radical intermediates, and confirm that phenylthiyl radical is capable of oxidizing the persistent acridinyl radical in a fast process that unites the catalytic activity of the photoredox and hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) manifolds. Additionally, we present evidence that diphenyl disulfide ((PhS)2) operates on a common catalytic cycle with thiophenol (PhSH) by way of photolytic cleaveage of the disulfide bond. Transition structure analysis of the HAT step using DFT reveals that the activation barrier for H atom donation from PhSH is significantly lower than 2-phenylmalononitrile (PMN) due to structural reorganization. In the early stages of the reaction, Mes-Acr(+) is observed to engage in off-cycle adduct formation, presumably as buildup of PhS(-) becomes significant. The kinetic differences between PhSH and (PhS)2 as HAT catalysts indicate that the proton transfer step may have significant rate limiting influence.

Anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of alkenes catalyzed by an organic photoredox system.

Project description:Herein we report a metal-free method for the direct anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of unsaturated amines. Irradiation of the amine substrates with visible light in the presence of catalytic quantities of easily synthesized 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium tetrafluoroborate and thiophenol as a hydrogen-atom donor furnished the nitrogen-containing heterocycles with complete regiocontrol. Two examples of intermolecular anti-Markovnikov alkene hydroamination are also disclosed.

Formal Anti-Markovnikov Hydroamination of Terminal Olefins.

Project description:A new strategy to access linear amines from terminal olefin precursors is reported. This two-step, one-pot hydroamination methodology employs sequential oxidation and reduction catalytic cycles. The formal hydroamination transformation proceeds with excellent regioselectivity, and only the anti-Markovnikov product is observed. Up to 70% yield can be obtained from styrenes or aliphatic olefins and either primary or secondary aromatic amines. Additionally, the scope is broad with respect to the olefin and accommodates a variety of functionalities; we demonstrate that amines with removable aryl protecting groups may be utilized to allow access to a more diverse array of hydroamination adducts.

Direct C-H difluoromethylation of heterocycles via organic photoredox catalysis.

Project description:The discovery of modern medicine relies on the sustainable development of synthetic methodologies to meet the needs associated with drug molecular design. Heterocycles containing difluoromethyl groups are an emerging but scarcely investigated class of organofluoro molecules with potential applications in pharmaceutical, agricultural and material science. Herein, we developed an organophotocatalytic direct difluoromethylation of heterocycles using O2 as a green oxidant. The C-H oxidative difluoromethylation obviates the need for pre-functionalization of the substrates, metals and additives. The operationally straightforward method enriches the efficient synthesis of many difluoromethylated heterocycles in moderate to excellent yields. The direct difluoromethylation of pharmaceutical moleculars demonstrates the practicability of this methodology to late-stage drug development. Moreover, 2'-deoxy-5-difluoromethyluridine (F2TDR) exhibits promising activity against some cancer cell lines, indicating that the difluoromethylation methodology might provide assistance for drug discovery.

Mechanistic Investigation and Optimization of Photoredox Anti-Markovnikov Hydroamination.

Project description:The reaction mechanism and the origin of the selectivity for the photocatalytic intermolecular anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of unactivated alkenes with primary amines to furnish secondary amines have been revealed by time-resolved laser kinetics measurements of the key reaction intermediates. We show that back-electron transfer (BET) between the photogenerated aminium radical cation (ARC) and reduced photocatalyst complex (Ir(II)) is nearly absent due to rapid deprotonation of the ARC on the sub-100 ns time scale. The selectivity for primary amine alkylation is derived from the faster addition of the primary ARCs (as compared to secondary ARCs) to alkenes. The turnover of the photocatalyst occurs via the reaction between Ir(II) and a thiyl radical; the in situ formation of an off-cycle disulfide from thiyl radicals suppresses this turnover, diminishing the efficiency of the reaction. With these detailed mechanistic insights, the turnover of the photocatalyst has been optimized, resulting in a >10-fold improvement in the quantum yield. These improvements enabled the development of a scalable flow protocol, demonstrating a potential strategy for practical applications with improved energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
