Accelerating the insertion reactions of (NHC)Cu-H via remote ligand functionalization.

ABSTRACT: Most ligand designs for reactions catalyzed by (NHC)Cu-H (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene ligand) have focused on introducing steric bulk near the Cu center. Here, we evaluate the effect of remote ligand modification in a series of [(NHC)CuH]₂ in which the para substituent (R) on the N-aryl groups of the NHC is Me, Et, ^t Bu, OMe or Cl. Although the R group is distant (6 bonds away) from the reactive Cu center, the complexes have different spectroscopic signatures. Kinetics studies of the insertion of ketone, aldimine, alkyne, and unactivated α-olefin substrates reveal that Cu-H complexes with bulky or electron-rich R groups undergo faster substrate insertion. The predominant cause of this phenomenon is destabilization of the [(NHC)CuH]₂ dimer relative to the (NHC)Cu-H monomer, resulting in faster formation of Cu-H monomer. These findings indicate that remote functionalization of NHCs is a compelling strategy for accelerating the rate of substrate insertion with Cu-H species.

Expeditious diastereoselective synthesis of elaborated ketones via remote Csp3-H functionalization.

Project description:The quest for selective C-H functionalization reactions, able to provide new strategic opportunities for the rapid assembly of molecular complexity, represents a major focus of the chemical community. Examples of non-directed, remote Csp3-H activation to forge complex carbon frameworks remain scarce due to the kinetic stability and thus intrinsic challenge associated to the chemo-, regio- and stereoselective functionalization of aliphatic C-H bonds. Here we describe a radical-mediated, directing-group-free regioselective 1,5-hydrogen transfer of unactivated Csp3-H bonds followed by a second Csp2-H functionalization to produce, with exquisite stereoselectivity, a variety of elaborated fused ketones. This study demonstrates that aliphatic acids can be strategically harnessed as 1,2-diradical synthons and that secondary aliphatic C-H bonds can be engaged in stereoselective C-C bond-forming reactions, highlighting the potential of this protocol for target-oriented natural product and pharmaceutical synthesis.

A T-shaped Ni[?2-(CF2)4-] NHC complex: unusual Csp3 -F and M-CF bond functionalization reactions.

Project description:A T-shaped octafluoronickelacyclopentane-NHC complex is prepared and characterized. While the solid-state structure includes a weak isopropyl-CH3 agostic interaction, the reactivity of this complex with Lewis- and Brønsted acids is clearly enhanced by its low coordination number. Reaction with Me3SiOTf, for example, yielded a rare metal-heptafluorocyclobutyl complex whereas carboxylic acids gave substitution at the ?-carbon and/or Ni-CF bond protonolysis to afford thermally robust 4H-octafluorobutyl Ni complexes.

Efficient boron-copper additions to aryl-substituted alkenes promoted by NHC-based catalysts. enantioselective Cu-catalyzed hydroboration reactions.

Project description:A Cu-catalyzed method for efficient boron-copper addition processes involving acyclic and cyclic disubstituted aryl olefins are reported. Reactions are promoted with 0.5-5 mol % of a readily available N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex; the presence of MeOH promotes in situ protonation of the C-Cu bond and leads to efficient catalyst turnover, constituting a net Cu-catalyzed hydroboration process. Reactions proceed in >98:<2 site selectivity and furnish secondary organoborane isomers that complement those obtained through reactions of boron-hydride reagents or by Rh- or Ir-catalyzed hydroborations (benzylic secondary C-B bonds). Initial observations regarding processes catalyzed by chiral NHC complexes, delivering products in up to 99:1 enantiomeric ratio, are disclosed.

Multi C-H Functionalization Reactions of Carbazole Heterocycles via Gold-Catalyzed Carbene Transfer Reactions.

Project description:Herein we describe a multiple C-H functionalization reaction of carbazole heterocycles with diazoalkanes. We show that gold catalysts play a distinct role in enabling a multiple C-H functionalization reaction to introduce up to six carbene fragments onto molecules containing multiple carbazole units or to link multiple carbazole units into a single molecule. A one-pot stepwise approach enables the introduction of two different carbene fragments to allow orthogonal deprotection and straightforward derivatization.

S,O-Ligand-Promoted Palladium-Catalyzed C-H Functionalization Reactions of Nondirected Arenes.

Project description:Pd(II)-catalyzed C-H functionalization of nondirected arenes has been realized using an inexpensive and easily accessible type of bidentate S,O-ligand. The catalytic system shows high efficiency in the C-H olefination reaction of electron-rich and electron-poor arenes. This methodology is operationally simple, scalable, and can be used in late-stage functionalization of complex molecules. The broad applicability of this catalyst has been showcased in other transformations such as Pd(II)-catalyzed C-H acetoxylation and allylation reactions.

Enantioselective synthesis of allylboronates bearing a tertiary or quaternary B-substituted stereogenic carbon by NHC-Cu-catalyzed substitution reactions.

Project description:Allylic substitutions that afford alpha-substituted allylboronates bearing B-substituted tertiary or quaternary carbon stereogenic centers are presented. C-B bond-forming reactions, catalyzed by chiral bidentate Cu-NHC complexes, are performed in the presence of commercially available bis(pinacolato)diboron. Transformations proceed in high yield (up to >98%) and site selectivity (>98% S(N)2'), and in up to >99:1 enantiomer ratio. Trans- or cis-disubstituted alkenes can be used; alkyl- (linear as well as branched) and aryl-trisubstituted allylic carbonates serve as effective substrates. Allylboronates that bear a quaternary carbon center are air-stable and can be easily purified by silica gel chromatography; in contrast, secondary allylboronates cannot be purified in the same manner and are significantly less stable. Oxidation of the enantiomerically enriched products furnishes secondary or tertiary allylic alcohols, valuable small molecules that cannot be easily obtained in high enantiomeric purity by alternative synthesis or kinetic resolution approaches.

Synthesis, structure, and reactions of a copper-sulfido cluster comprised of the parent Cu2S unit: {(NHC)Cu}2(?-S).

Project description:The synthesis of the first CuI2(?-S) complex, {(IPr*)Cu}2(?-S) (IPr* = 1,3-bis(2,6-(diphenylmethyl)-4-methylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene; 1), has been accomplished via three synthetic routes: (1) salt metathesis between (IPr*)CuCl and Na2S; (2) silyl-deprotection reaction between (IPr*)Cu(SSiMe3) and (IPr*)CuF; and (3) acid-base reaction between (IPr*)Cu(SH) and (IPr*)Cu(O t Bu). The X-ray crystal structure of 1 exhibits two two-coordinate copper centers connected by a bent Cu-S-Cu linkage. Application of these synthetic routes to analogous precursors containing the sterically smaller ligand IPr (1,3-bis(2,6-di-isopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene), in place of IPr*, resulted in the formation of a transient product proposed as {(IPr)Cu}2(?-S) (2), which decomposes quickly in solution. The instability of 2 probably results from the insufficient steric protection provided by IPr ligands to the unsaturated Cu2(?-S) core; in contrast, 1 is stable both in solution and solid state for weeks. The nucleophilic sulfido ligand in 1 reacts with haloalkyl electrophiles (benzyl halides and dibromoalkanes) with formation of C-S bonds, affording (IPr*)Cu(SCH2Ph) and cyclic thioethers, respectively.

Selective Functionalization of Aliphatic Amines via Myoglobin-catalyzed Carbene N-H Insertion.

Project description:Engineered myoglobins have recently gained attention for their ability to catalyze a variety of abiological carbene transfer reactions including the functionalization of amines via carbene insertion into N-H bonds. However, the scope of myoglobin and other hemoprotein-based biocatalysts in the context of this transformation has been largely limited to aniline derivatives as the amine substrates and ethyl diazoacetate as the carbene donor reagent. In this report, we describe the development of an engineered myoglobin-based catalyst useful for promoting carbene N-H insertion reactions across a broad range of substituted benzylamines and ?-diazo acetates with high efficiency (82-99% conversion), elevated catalytic turnovers (up to 7,000), and excellent chemoselectivity for the desired single insertion product (up to 99%). The scope of this transformation could be extended to cyclic aliphatic amines. These studies expand the biocatalytic toolbox available for the selective formation of C-N bonds, which are ubiquitous in many natural and synthetic bioactive compounds.

A Suitable Functionalization of Nitroindazoles with Triazolyl and Pyrazolyl Moieties via Cycloaddition Reactions.

Project description:The alkylation of a series of nitroindazole derivatives with 1,2-dibromoethane afforded the corresponding N-(2-bromoethyl)- and N-vinyl-nitro-1H-indazoles. The Cu(I)-catalysed azide- alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition was selected to substitute the nitroindazole core with 1,4-disubstituted triazole units after converting one of the N-(2-bromoethyl)nitroindazoles into the corresponding azide. The reactivity in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with nitrile imines generated in situ from ethyl hydrazono-?-bromoglyoxylates was studied with nitroindazoles bearing a vinyl unit. The corresponding nitroindazole-pyrazoline derivatives were obtained in good to excellent yields.
