Nickel-Catalyzed Annulations of ortho-Haloarylimines.

ABSTRACT: We report the discovery, development, and mechanism of a nickel-catalyzed annulation reaction between o-haloarylimines and electron-poor olefins. The reaction produces two adjacent anti stereocenters and a free secondary amine. Spirocycles are formed from cyclic imines. We characterized the key oxidative addition intermediate and identified a major path leading to competing homocoupling products. The activation energy of oxidative addition and the rate of oxidative addition complex isomerization were determined. The sensitivity of the reaction to reaction conditions was established in a quantitative manner and both the scope and limitations of the method are presented.

Redox-Annulations of Cyclic Amines with ortho-Cyanomethylbenzaldehydes.

Project description:Amines such as 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline undergo redox-neutral annulations with ortho-cyanomethylbenzaldehydes. These amine α-C-H bond functionalization reactions are promoted by acetic acid. The resulting β-aminonitriles can be converted to the corresponding β-aminoalcohols in diastereoselective fashion.

Palladium-Catalyzed Annulations of Strained Cyclic Allenes.

Project description:We report Pd-catalyzed annulations of in situ generated strained cyclic allenes. This methodology employs aryl halides and cyclic allene precursors as the reaction partners in order to generate fused heterocyclic products. The annulation proceeds via the formation of two new bonds and an sp3 center. Moreover, both diastereo- and enantioselective variants of this methodology are validated, with the latter ultimately enabling the rapid enantioselective synthesis of a complex hexacyclic product. Studies leveraging transition metal catalysis to intercept cyclic allenes represent a departure from the more common, historical modes of cyclic allene trapping that rely on nucleophiles or cycloaddition partners. As such, this study is expected to fuel the development of reactions that strategically merge transition metal catalysis and transient strained intermediate chemistry for the synthesis of complex scaffolds.

Nickel-catalyzed, silyl-directed, ortho-borylation of arenes via an unusual Ni(II)/Ni(IV) catalytic cycle.

Project description:Nickel-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization reactions provide an impressive alternative to those with noble metal catalysts due to their unique reactivity and low cost. However, the regioselective C(sp2)-H borylation reaction of arenes accomplished by nickel catalyst remains limited. We herein disclose a silyl-directed ortho C(sp2)-H borylation of substituted arenes with a Ni(cod)2/PMe3/KHMDS catalyst system. Using readily available starting materials, this protocol provides easy access to ortho-borylated benzylic hydrosilanes bearing flexible substitution patterns. These products can serve as versatile building blocks for the synthesis of sila or sila/borine heterocycles under mild conditions. Control experiments and DFT calculations suggest that a catalytic amount of base prompts the formation of Ni(II)-Bpin-ate complex, likely related to the C(sp2)-H bond activation. This borylation reaction might follow an unusual Ni(II)/Ni(IV) catalytic cycle.

Alkynyl Thioethers in Gold-Catalyzed Annulations To Form Oxazoles.

Project description:Non-oxidative, regioselective, and convergent access to densely functionalized oxazoles is realized in a functional-group tolerant manner using alkynyl thioethers. Sulfur-terminated alkynes provide access to reactivity previously requiring strong donor-substituted alkynes such as ynamides. Sulfur does not act in an analogous donor fashion in this gold-catalyzed reaction, thus leading to complementary regioselective outcomes and addressing the limitations of using ynamides.

Carbene-Catalyzed Enantioselective Decarboxylative Annulations to Access Dihydrobenzoxazinones and Quinolones.

Project description:A direct decarboxylative strategy for the generation of aza-o-quinone methides (aza-o-QMs) by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis has been discovered and explored. This process requires no stoichiometric additives in contrast with current approaches. Aza-o-QMs react with trifluoromethyl ketones through a formal [4+2] manifold to access highly enantioenriched dihydrobenzoxazin-4-one products, which can be converted to dihydroquinolones through an interesting stereoretentive aza-Petasis-Ferrier rearrangement sequence. Complementary dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) studies provided an accurate prediction of the reaction enantioselectivity and lend further insight to the origins of stereocontrol. Additionally, a computed potential energy surface around the major transition structure suggests a concerted asynchronous mechanism for the formal annulation.

Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Imidoyl C-H Activation for Annulations to Azolopyrimidines.

Project description:Azolopyrimidines are efficiently prepared by direct imidoyl C-H bond activation. Annulations of N-azolo imines with sulfoxonium ylides and diazoketones under redox-neutral conditions and alkynes under oxidizing conditions provide products with various arrangements of nitrogen atoms and carbon substituents. We have also probed the mechanism of this first example of Rh(III)-catalyzed direct imidoyl C-H activation by structural characterization of a catalytically competent rhodacycle obtained after C-H activation and by kinetic isotope effects.

A dual Lewis base activation strategy for enantioselective carbene-catalyzed annulations.

Project description:A dual activation strategy integrating N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis and a second Lewis base has been developed. NHC-bound homoenolate equivalents derived from α,β-unsaturated aldehydes combine with transient reactive o-quinone methides in an enantioselective formal [4 + 3] fashion to access 2-benzoxopinones. The overall approach provides a general blueprint for the integration of carbene catalysis with additional Lewis base activation modes.

Nickel boryl complexes and nickel-catalyzed alkyne borylation.

Project description:The first nickel bis-boryl complexes cis-[Ni( i Pr2ImMe)2(Bcat)2], cis-[Ni( i Pr2ImMe)2(Bpin)2] and cis-[Ni( i Pr2ImMe)2(Beg)2] are reported, which were prepared via the reaction of a source of [Ni( i Pr2ImMe)2] with the diboron(4) compounds B2cat2, B2pin2 and B2eg2 ( i Pr2ImMe = 1,3-di-iso-propyl-4,5-dimethylimidazolin-2-ylidene; B2cat2 = bis(catecholato)diboron; B2pin2 = bis(pinacolato)diboron; B2eg2 = bis(ethylene glycolato)diboron). X-ray diffraction and DFT calculations strongly suggest that a delocalized, multicenter bonding scheme dictates the bonding situation of the NiB2 moiety in these square planar complexes, reminiscent of the bonding situation of "non-classical" H2 complexes. [Ni( i Pr2ImMe)2] also efficiently catalyzes the diboration of alkynes using B2cat2 as the boron source under mild conditions. In contrast to the known platinum-catalyzed diboration, the nickel system follows a different mechanistic pathway, which not only provides the 1,2-borylation product in excellent yields, but also provides an efficient approach to other products such as C-C coupled borylation products or rare tetra-borylated compounds. The mechanism of the nickel-catalyzed alkyne borylation was examined by means of stoichiometric reactions and DFT calculations. Oxidative addition of the diboron reagent to nickel is not dominant; the first steps of the catalytic cycle are coordination of the alkyne to [Ni( i Pr2ImMe)2] and subsequent borylation at the coordinated and, thus, activated alkyne to yield complexes of the type [Ni(NHC)2(η2-cis-(Bcat)(R)C[double bond, length as m-dash]C(R)(Bcat))], exemplified by the isolation and structural characterization of [Ni( i Pr2ImMe)2(η2-cis-(Bcat)(Me)C[double bond, length as m-dash]C(Me)(Bcat))] and [Ni( i Pr2ImMe)2(η2-cis-(Bcat)(H7C3)C[double bond, length as m-dash]C(C3H7)(Bcat))].

Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Intramolecular Annulations of Acrylic and Benzoic Acids to Alkynes.

Project description:Rh(III) catalysts can promote a formal (4 + 2) intramolecular oxidative annulation between acrylic or benzoic acid derivatives and alkynes. The reaction, which involves a C-H activation process, allows for a rapid assembly of appealing bicyclic pyran-2-ones and tricyclic isocoumarin derivatives in moderate to good yields. The α-pyrone moiety of the products provides for further manipulations to obtain relatively complex cyclic skeletons in a very simple manner.
