Mechanistic Insights into the Dual Directing Group-Mediated C-H Functionalization/Annulation via a Hydroxyl Group-Assisted M^III-M^V-M^III Pathway.

ABSTRACT: The experimental investigations on the catalyst [Cp*Rh(OAc)₂ and Cp*Ir (OAc)₂)]-controlled [3 + 2] and [4 + 2] annulations of oximes with propargyl alcohols have been finished in our previous work and a supposed dual directing group-mediated reaction pathway has been deduced for the chemodivergent product synthesis. However, the detailed interaction modes of the dual directing groups binding with the corresponding metal center to achieve the above observed chemoselectivity remain unclear and even contradict. For instance, the calculational traditional dual direct coupling transition states suggested that both Cp*Rh(OAc)₂- and Cp*Ir(OAc)₂-catalyzed reactions would generate five-membered indenamines as the dominant products via [3 + 2] annulation. To address this concern, herein, systematic DFT calculations combined with proof-of-concept experiments have been carried out. Accordingly, a novel and more favorable M^III-M^V-M^III reaction mechanism, which involves an unprecedented HOAc together with a hydroxyl group-assisted reaction pathway in which the hydroxyl group acts as double effectors for the formation of M-O coordination and [MeO···H···O(CCH₃)O···H···O] bonding interactions, was deduced. Taken together, the present results would provide a rational basis for future development of the dual directing group-mediated C-H activation reactions.

RhodiumIII-catalyzed remote difunctionalization of arenes assisted by a relay directing group.

Project description:Rhodium-catalyzed diverse tandem twofold C-H bond activation reactions of para-olefin-tethered arenes have been realized, with unsaturated reagents such as internal alkynes, dioxazolones, and isocyanates being the coupling partner as well as a relay directing group which triggers cyclization of the para-olefin group under oxidative or redox-neutral conditions. The reaction proceeded via initial ortho-C-H activation assisted by a built-in directing group in the arene, and the ortho-incorporation of the unsaturated coupling partner simultaneously generated a relay directing group that allows sequential C-H activation at the meta-position and subsequent cyclization of the para-olefins. The overall reaction represents C-C or N-C difunctionalization of the arene with the generation of diverse 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran platforms. The catalytic system proceeded with good efficiency, simple reaction conditions, and broad substrate scope. The diverse transformations of the products demonstrated the synthetic utility of this tandem reaction.

Insights into directing group ability in palladium-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization.

Project description:This paper describes a detailed investigation of factors controlling the dominance of a directing group in Pd-catalyzed ligand-directed arene acetoxylation. Mechanistic studies, involving reaction kinetics, Hammett analysis, kinetic isotope effect experiments, and the kinetic order in oxidant, have been conducted for a series of different substrates. Initial rates studies of substrates bearing different directing groups showed that these transformations are accelerated by the use of electron-withdrawing directing groups. However, in contrast, under conditions where two directing groups are in competition with one another in the same reaction flask, substrates with electron-donating directing groups react preferentially. These results are discussed in the context of the proposed mechanism for Pd-catalyzed arene acetoxylation.

Organic chemistry. Functionalization of C(sp3)-H bonds using a transient directing group.

Project description:Proximity-driven metalation has been extensively exploited to achieve reactivity and selectivity in carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bond activation. Despite the substantial improvement in developing more efficient and practical directing groups, their stoichiometric installation and removal limit efficiency and, often, applicability as well. Here we report the development of an amino acid reagent that reversibly reacts with aldehydes and ketones in situ via imine formation to serve as a transient directing group for activation of inert C-H bonds. Arylation of a wide range of aldehydes and ketones at the ? or ? positions proceeds in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a catalytic amount of amino acid. The feasibility of achieving enantioselective C-H activation reactions using a chiral amino acid as the transient directing group is also demonstrated.

Dual optical control and mechanistic insights into photoswitchable group II and III metabotropic glutamate receptors.

Project description:G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling occurs in complex spatiotemporal patterns that are difficult to probe using standard pharmacological and genetic approaches. A powerful approach for dissecting GPCRs is to use light-controlled pharmacological agents that are tethered covalently and specifically to genetically engineered receptors. However, deficits in our understanding of the mechanism of such photoswitches have limited application of this approach and its extension to other GPCRs. In this study, we have harnessed the power of bioorthogonal tethering to SNAP and CLIP protein tags to create a family of light-gated metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs). We define the mechanistic determinants of photoswitch efficacy, including labeling efficiency, dependence on photoswitch structure, length dependence of the linker between the protein tag and the glutamate ligand, effective local concentration of the glutamate moiety, and affinity of the receptor for the ligand. We improve the scheme for photoswitch synthesis as well as photoswitch efficiency, and generate seven light-gated group II/III mGluRs, including variants of mGluR2, 3, 6, 7, and 8. Members of this family of light-controlled receptors can be used singly or in specifically labeled, independently light-controlled pairs for multiplexed control of receptor populations.

1-Aminopyridinium Ylides as Monodentate Directing Groups for sp3 C-H Bond Functionalization.

Project description:1-Aminopyridinium ylides are efficient directing groups for palladium-catalyzed β-arylation and alkylation of sp3 C-H bonds in carboxylic acid derivatives. The efficiency of these directing groups depends on the substitution at the pyridine moiety. The unsubstituted pyridine-derived ylides allow functionalization of primary C-H bonds, while methylene groups are unreactive in the absence of external ligands. 4-Pyrrolidinopyridine-containing ylides are capable of C-H functionalization in acyclic methylene groups in the absence of external ligands, thus rivaling the efficiency of the aminoquinoline directing group. Preliminary mechanistic studies have been performed. A cyclopalladated intermediate has been isolated and characterized by X-ray crystallography, and its reactivity was studied.

Directing group assisted meta-hydroxylation by C-H activation.

Project description:meta-Hydroxylated cores are ubiquitous in natural products. Herein, we disclose the first template assisted meta-hydroxylation reaction. Experimental and in silico studies helped us to gain valuable mechanistic insights, including the role of the hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) solvent, during C-H hydroxylation. The reactive intermediates, prior to the C-H activation, have been detected by spectroscopic techniques. Additionally, the C-O bond formation has been extended to meta-acetoxylation. The preparation of a phase II quinone reductase activity inducer and a resveratrol precursor illustrated the synthetic significance of the present strategy.

Meta-selective C-H functionalization using a nitrile-based directing group and cleavable Si-tether.

Project description:A nitrile-based template that enables meta-selective C-H bond functionalization was developed. The template is applicable to a range of substituted arenes and tolerates a variety of functional groups. The directing group uses a silicon atom for attachment, allowing for a facile introduction/deprotection strategy increasing the synthetic practicality of this template.

Asymmetric C-H functionalization of cyclopropanes using an isoleucine-NH2 bidentate directing group.

Project description:The systematic investigation of substrate-bound α-amino acid auxiliaries has resulted in catalytic asymmetric C-H functionalization of cyclopropanes enabled by amino acid amides as chiral bidentate directing groups. The use of an Ile-NH2 auxiliary embedded in the substrate provided excellent levels of asymmetric induction (diastereomeric ratio of up to 72 : 1) in the Pd(ii)-catalyzed β-methylene C(sp3)-H bond activation of cyclopropanes and cross-coupling with aryl iodides.

Copper-catalyzed, directing group-assisted fluorination of arene and heteroarene C-H bonds.

Project description:We have developed a method for direct, copper-catalyzed, auxiliary-assisted fluorination of ?-sp(2) C-H bonds of benzoic acid derivatives and ?-sp(2) C-H bonds of ?,?-disubstituted benzylamine derivatives. The reaction employs a CuI catalyst, a AgF fluoride source, and DMF, pyridine, or DMPU solvent at moderately elevated temperatures. Selective mono- or difluorination can be achieved by simply changing reaction conditions. The method shows excellent functional group tolerance and provides a straightforward way for the preparation of ortho-fluorinated benzoic acids.

A directing group switch in copper-catalyzed electrophilic C-H amination/migratory annulation cascade: divergent access to benzimidazolone/benzimidazole.

Project description:We present here a copper-catalyzed electrophilic ortho C-H amination of protected naphthylamines with N-(benzoyloxy)amines, cyclization with the pendant amide, and carbon to nitrogen 1,2-directing group migration cascade to access N,N-disubstituted 2-benzimidazolinones. Remarkably, this highly atom-economic tandem reaction proceeds through a C-H and C-C bond cleavage and three new C-N bond formations in a single operation. Intriguingly, the reaction cascade was altered by the subtle tuning of the directing group from picolinamide to thiopicolinamide furnishing 2-heteroaryl-imidazoles via the extrusion of hydrogen sulfide. This strategy provided a series of benzimidazolones and benzimidazoles in moderate to high yields with low catalyst loading (66 substrates with yields up to 99%). From the control experiments, it was observed that after the C-H amination an incipient tetrahedral oxyanion or thiolate intermediate is formed via an intramolecular attack of the primary amine to the amide/thioamide carbonyl. It undergoes either a 1,2-pyridyl shift with the retention of the carbonyl moiety or H2S elimination for scaffold diversification. Remarkably, inspite of a positive influence of copper in the reaction outcome, from our preliminary investigations, the benzimidazolone product was obtained in good to moderate yields in two steps under metal-free conditions. The N-pyridyl moiety of the benzimidazolone was removed for further manipulation of the free NH group.
