Allylic alcohol synthesis by Ni-catalyzed direct and selective coupling of alkynes and methanol.

ABSTRACT: Methanol is an abundant and renewable chemical raw material, but its use as a C1 source in C-C bond coupling reactions still constitutes a big challenge, and the known methods are limited to the use of expensive and noble metal catalysts such as Ru, Rh and Ir. We herein report nickel-catalyzed direct coupling of alkynes and methanol, providing direct access to valuable allylic alcohols in good yields and excellent chemo- and regioselectivity. The approach features a broad substrate scope and high atom-, step- and redox-economy. Moreover, this method was successfully extended to the synthesis of [5,6]-bicyclic hemiacetals through a cascade cyclization reaction of alkynones and methanol.

Stereoselective synthesis of pentasubstituted 1,3-dienes <i>via</i> Ni-catalyzed reductive coupling of unsymmetrical internal alkynes.

Project description:The reductive coupling of alkynes represents a powerful strategy for the rapid synthesis of highly substituted 1,3-dienes. This method has the advantages of high atom and step economy, and readily available substrates. Unfortunately, the intermolecular coupling of unsymmetrical internal alkynes remains extremely challenging due to the difficulty in controlling self-dimerization and cross-coupling, as well as stereo- and regioselectivity. Previous reports are still limited to intramolecular processes or the use of stoichiometric amounts of metal catalyst. Herein, we report that nickel-catalyzed reductive coupling of two unsymmetrical internal alkynes can overcome the above-mentioned limitations by using a hemilabile directing group strategy to control the regioselectivity. A series of synthetically challenging penta-substituted 1,3-dienes are obtained in good yields with high regio- and enantioselectivity (mostly > 20/1 rr, >90% ee).

Direct Synthesis of Secondary Benzylic Alcohols Enabled by Photoredox/Ni Dual-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling.

Project description:An operationally simple, mild, redox-neutral method for the cross-coupling of α-hydroxyalkyltrifluoroborates is reported. Utilizing an Ir photocatalyst, α-hydroxyalkyl radicals are generated from the single-electron oxidation of the trifluoroborates, and these radicals are subsequently engaged in a nickel-catalyzed C-C bond-forming reaction with aryl halides. The process is highly selective, functional group tolerant, and step economical, which allows the direct synthesis of secondary benzylic alcohol motifs.

Selective Manganese-Catalyzed Dimerization and Cross-Coupling of Terminal Alkynes.

Project description:Herein, efficient manganese-catalyzed dimerization of terminal alkynes to afford 1,3-enynes is described. This reaction is atom economic, implementing an inexpensive, earth-abundant nonprecious metal catalyst. The precatalyst is the bench-stable alkyl bisphosphine Mn(I) complex fac-[Mn(dippe)(CO)3(CH2CH2CH3)]. The catalytic process is initiated by migratory insertion of a CO ligand into the Mn-alkyl bond to yield an acyl intermediate that undergoes rapid C-H bond cleavage of alkyne, forming an active Mn(I) acetylide catalyst [Mn(dippe)(CO)2(C≡CPh)(η2-HC≡CPh)] together with liberated butanal. A range of aromatic and aliphatic terminal alkynes were efficiently and selectively converted into head-to-head Z-1,3-enynes and head-to-tail gem-1,3-enynes, respectively, in good to excellent yields. Moreover, cross-coupling of aromatic and aliphatic alkynes selectively yields head-to-tail gem-1,3-enynes. In all cases, the reactions were performed at 70 °C with a catalyst loading of 1-2 mol %. A mechanism based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations is presented.

anti-1,2-Diols via Ni-catalyzed reductive coupling of alkynes and alpha-oxyaldehydes.

Project description:[reaction: see text] Ni-catalyzed reductive coupling of aryl alkynes (1) and enantiomerically enriched alpha-oxyaldehydes (2) afford differentiated anti-1,2-diols (3) with high diastereoselectivity and regioselectivity, despite the fact that the methoxymethyl (MOM) and para-methoxybenzyl (PMB) protective groups typically favor syn-1,2-diol formation in carbonyl addition reactions of this family of aldehydes.

Ni- and Pd-catalyzed synthesis of substituted and functionalized allylic boronates.

Project description:Two highly efficient and convenient methods for the synthesis of functionalized and substituted allylic boronates are described. In one procedure, readily available allylic acetates are converted to allylic boronates catalyzed by Ni/PCy(3) or Ni/PPh(3) complexes with high levels of stereoselectivity and in good yields. Alternatively, the borylation can be accomplished with commercially available Pd catalysts [e.g., Pd(2)(dba)(3), PdCl(2), Pd/C], starting with easily accessed allylic halides.

Trimethylsilyl-Protected Alkynes as Selective Cross-Coupling Partners in Titanium-Catalyzed [2+2+1] Pyrrole Synthesis.

Project description:Trimethylsilyl (TMS)-protected alkynes served as selective alkyne cross-coupling partners in titanium-catalyzed [2+2+1] pyrrole synthesis. Reactions of TMS-protected alkynes with internal alkynes and azobenzene under the catalysis of titanium imido complexes yielded pentasubstituted 2-TMS-pyrroles with greater than 90?% selectivity over the other nine possible pyrrole products. The steric and electronic effects of the TMS group were both identified to play key roles in this highly selective pyrrole synthesis. This strategy provides a convenient method to synthesize multisubstituted pyrroles as well as an entry point for further pyrrole diversification through facile modification of the resulting 2-silyl pyrrole products, as demonstrated through a short formal synthesis of the marine natural product lamellarin?R.

Ni-catalyzed hydroaminoalkylation of alkynes with amines.

Project description:Allylic amines are versatile building blocks in organic synthesis and exist in bioactive compounds, but their synthesis via hydroaminoalkylation of alkynes with amines has been a formidable challenge. Here, we report a late transition metal Ni-catalyzed hydroaminoalkylation of alkynes with N-sulfonyl amines, providing a series of allylic amines in up to 94% yield. Double ligands of N-heterocyclic carbene (IPr) and tricyclohexylphosphine (PCy3) effectively promote the reaction.

Z-Selective iridium-catalyzed cross-coupling of allylic carbonates and ?-diazo esters.

Project description:A well-defined Ir-allyl complex catalyzes the Z-selective cross-coupling of allyl carbonates with ?-aryl diazo esters. The process overrides the large thermodynamic preference for E-products typically observed in metal-mediated coupling reactions to enable the synthesis of Z,E-dieneoates in good yield with selectivities consistently approaching or greater than 90?:?10. This transformation represents the first productive merger of Ir-carbene and Ir-allyl species, which are commonly encountered intermediates in allylation and cyclopropanation/E-H insertion catalysis. Potentially reactive functional groups (aryl halides, ketones, nitriles, olefins, amines) are tolerated owing to the mildness of reaction conditions. Kinetic analysis of the reaction suggests oxidative addition of the allyl carbonate to an Ir-species is rate-determining. Mechanistic studies uncovered a pathway for catalyst activation mediated by NEt3.

This enantioselective reductive alkenylation proceeds under mild conditions and exhibits good functional group tolerance. The chiral allylic silanes prepared here undergo a variety of stereospecific transformations, including intramolecular Hosomi-Sakurai reactions, to set vicinal stereogenic centers with excellent transfer of chirality.

Iron-catalyzed urea synthesis: dehydrogenative coupling of methanol and amines.

Project description:Substituted ureas have numerous applications but their synthesis typically requires the use of highly toxic starting materials. Herein we describe the first base-metal catalyst for the selective synthesis of symmetric ureas via the dehydrogenative coupling of methanol with primary amines. Using a pincer supported iron catalyst, a range of ureas was generated with isolated yields of up to 80% (corresponding to a catalytic turnover of up to 160) and with H2 as the sole byproduct. Mechanistic studies indicate a stepwise pathway beginning with methanol dehydrogenation to give formaldehyde, which is trapped by amine to afford a formamide. The formamide is then dehydrogenated to produce a transient isocyanate, which reacts with another equivalent of amine to form a urea. These mechanistic insights enabled the development of an iron-catalyzed method for the synthesis of unsymmetric ureas from amides and amines.
