Rh(II)-Catalyzed Alkynylcyclopropanation of Alkenes by Decarbenation of Alkynylcycloheptatrienes.

ABSTRACT: Alkynylcyclopropanes have found promising applications in both organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry but remain rather underexplored due to the challenges associated with their preparation. We describe a convenient two-step methodology for the alkynylcyclopropanation of alkenes, based on the rhodium(II)-catalyzed decarbenation of 7-alkynyl cycloheptatrienes. The catalytic system employed circumvents a fundamental problem associated with these substrates, which usually evolve via 6-endo-dig cyclization or ring-contraction pathways under metal catalysis. This unique performance unlocks a rapid access to a diverse library of alkynylcyclopropanes (including derivatives of complex drug-like molecules), versatile intermediates that previously required much lengthier synthetic approaches. Combining experiments and DFT calculations, the complete mechanistic picture for the divergent reactivity of alkynylcycloheptatrienes under metal catalysis has been unveiled, rationalizing the unique selectivity displayed by rhodium(II) complexes.

Rh-Catalyzed Enantioselective Single-Carbon Insertion of Alkenes.

Project description:The interest in the discovery and development of skeletal editing processes that selectively insert, exchange, or delete an atom in organic molecules has significantly increased over the last few years. However, processes of this class that proceed through the creation of a chiral center with high asymmetric induction have been largely unexplored. Herein, we report an enantioselective single-carbon insertion in aryl- and alkyl-substituted alkenes mediated by a catalytically generated chiral Rh-carbynoid and phosphate nucleophiles that produce enantioenriched allylic phosphates (enantiomeric ratio (e.r.) = 89.5:10.5-99.5:0.5). The key to the process was a diastereo- and enantioselective cyclopropanation of the alkene with a chiral Rh-carbynoid and the formation of a transient cyclopropyl-I(III) intermediate. The addition of the phosphate nucleophile provided a cyclopropyl-I(III)-phosphate intermediate that undergoes disrotatory ring opening following the Woodward-Hoffmann-DePuy rules. This process led to a chiral intimate allyl cation-phosphate pair that evolved with excellent enantioretention. The evidence of an SN1-like SNi mechanism is provided by linear free-energy relationship studies, kinetic isotope effects, X-ray crystallography, and control experiments. We demonstrated the utility of the enantioenriched allylic phosphates in late-stage N-H allylations of natural products and drug molecules and in cross-coupling reactions that occurred with excellent enantiospecificity.

Rh(i)- and Rh(ii)-catalyzed C-H alkylation of benzylamines with alkenes and its application in flow chemistry.

Project description:The Rh-catalyzed C-H alkylation of benzylamines with alkenes using a picolinamide derivative as a directing group is reported. Both Rh(i) and Rh(ii) complexes can be used as active catalysts for this transformation. In addition, a flow set up was designed to successfully mimic this process under flow conditions. Several examples are presented under flow conditions and it was confirmed that a flow process is advantageous over a batch process. Deuterium labelling experiments were performed to elucidate the mechanism of the reaction, and the results indicated a possible carbene mechanism for this C-H alkylation process.

Facile Pd(II)- and Ni(II)-catalyzed isomerization of terminal alkenes into 2-alkenes.

Project description:Mono- and 2,2'-disubstituted terminal alkenes can be isomerized into the more stable internal (Z)- and (E)-alkenes by treating them with catalytic amounts of [(allyl)PdCl](2) or [(allyl)NiBr](2), a triarylphosphine, and silver triflate at room temperature. The isomeric ratio (E:Z) depends on the alkenes, the E-isomer being the major one. The reaction is tolerant to a wide variety of functional groups including other reactive olefins. Unlike the more reactive Ir catalysts, monosubstituted alkenes give almost exclusively the 2-alkenes. Direct comparison to two of the best-known catalysts for this process {[Ir(PCy(3))(3)](+)[BPh(4)](-) and Grubbs generation II metathesis catalyst} is also described.

Rh(iii)-catalyzed tandem annulative redox-neutral arylation/amidation of aromatic tethered alkenes.

Project description:Transition-metal-catalyzed directed C-H functionalization has emerged as a powerful and straightforward tool to construct C-C bonds and C-N bonds. Among these processes, the intramolecular annulative alkene hydroarylation reaction has received much attention because this intramolecular annulation can produce more complex and high value-added structural motifs found in numerous natural products and bioactive molecules. Despite remarkable progress, these annulative protocols developed to date remain limited to hydroarylation and functionalization of one side of alkenes, thus largely limiting the structural diversity and complexity. Herein, we developed a rhodium(iii)-catalyzed tandem annulative arylation/amidation reaction of aromatic tethered alkenes to deliver a variety of 2,3-dihydro-3-benzofuranmethanamine derivatives bearing an all-carbon quaternary stereo center by employing 3-substituted 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ones as an amidating reagent to capture the transient C(sp3)-Rh intermediate. Notably, by simply changing the directing group, a second, unsymmetrical ortho C-H amidation/annulation can be achieved to provide tricyclic dihydrofuro[3,2-f]quinazolinones in good yields.

Phosphine Oxide-Promoted Rh(I)-Catalyzed C-H Cyclization of Benzimidazoles with Alkenes.

Project description:Ligands play a critical role in promoting transition-metal-catalyzed C-H activation reactions. However, owing to high sensitivity of the reactivity of C-H activation to metal catalysts, the development of effective ligands has been a formidable challenge in the field. Rh(I)-catalyzed C-H cyclization of benzimidazoles with alkenes has been faced with low reactivity, often requiring very harsh conditions. To address this challenge, a phosphine oxide-enabled Rh(I)-Al bimetallic catalyst was developed for the reaction, significantly promoting the reactivity and allowing the reaction to run at 120 °C with up to 97% yield.

Rh(II)-Catalyzed Reactions of Diazoesters with Organozinc Reagents.

Project description:Rh(II)-catalyzed reactions of diazoesters with organozinc reagents are described. Diorganozinc reagents participate in reactions with diazo compounds by two distinct, catalyst-dependent mechanisms. With bulky diisopropylethyl acetate ligands, the reaction mechanism is proposed to involve initial formation of a Rh-carbene and subsequent carbozincation to give a zinc enolate. With Rh2(OAc)4, it is proposed that initial formation of an azine precedes 1,2-addition by an organozinc reagent. This straightforward route to the hydrazone products provides a useful method for preparing chiral quaternary α-aminoesters or pyrazoles via the Paul-Knorr condensation with 1,3-diketones. Crossover and deuterium labeling experiments provide evidence for the mechanisms proposed.

Kinetic and Thermodynamic Considerations in the Rh-Catalyzed Enantioselective Hydrogenation of 2-Pyridyl-Substituted Alkenes.

Project description:The mechanism of asymmetric hydrogenation of 2-pyridyl alkenes catalyzed by chiral Rh-phosphine complexes at ambient temperature is examined using kinetic, spectroscopic, and computational tools. The reaction proceeds with reversible substrate binding followed by rate-determining addition of hydrogen. Substrate binding occurs only through the pyridine nitrogen in contrast to other substrate classes exhibiting stronger substrate direction. The lack of influence of hydrogen pressure on the product enantiomeric excess suggests that a pre-equilibrium in substrate binding is maintained across the pressure range investigated. An off-cycle Rh-hydride species is implicated in the mild catalyst deactivation observed. In contrast to Ru-phosphine-catalyzed reactions of the same substrate class, the stereochemical outcome in this system correlates generally with the relative stability of the E and Z rotamers of the substrate.

Rh(III)-catalyzed regioselective synthesis of pyridines from alkenes and α,β-unsaturated oxime esters.

Project description:α,β-Unsaturated O-pivaloyl oximes are coupled to alkenes by Rh(III) catalysis to afford substituted pyridines. The reaction with activated alkenes is exceptionally regioselective and high-yielding. Mechanistic studies suggest that heterocycle formation proceeds via reversible C-H activation, alkene insertion, and a C-N bond formation/N-O bond cleavage process.
