Project description:Photocatalysis is a rapidly evolving area of research in modern organic synthesis. Among the traditional photocatalysts, metal-complexes based on ruthenium or iridium are the most common. Herein, we present the synthesis of two photoactive, ruthenium-based complexes bearing pyridine-quinoline or terpyridine ligands with extended aromatic conjugation. Our complexes were utilized in the atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) of haloalkanes to olefins, using bromoacetonitrile or bromotrichloromethane as the source of the alkyl group. The tailor-made ruthenium-based catalyst bearing the pyridine-quinoline bidentate ligand proved to be the best-performing photocatalyst, among a range of metal complexes and organocatalysts, efficiently catalyzing both reactions. These photocatalytic atom transfer protocols can be expanded into a broad scope of olefins. In both protocols, the photocatalytic reactions led to products in good to excellent isolated yields.

Project description:DFT exploration of 1,5- and 1,6-hydrogen atom transfers (HAT), radical addition, and relay to alkene is reported. The reactivity of 1,5- and 1,6-HAT are similar. We also explored reactions involving a multiple radical transferring process. Initially generated radicals undergo a multiple HAT process to form multiple bonds in a "relay" fashion, provided by exquisitely balanced rates.

Project description:Bimolecular rate constants have been measured for reactions that involve hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) from hydroxylamines to nitroxyl radicals, using the stable radicals TEMPO(*) (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical), 4-oxo-TEMPO(*) (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-oxo-piperidine-1-oxyl radical), di-tert-butylnitroxyl ((t)Bu(2)NO(*)), and the hydroxylamines TEMPO-H, 4-oxo-TEMPO-H, 4-MeO-TEMPO-H (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-N-hydroxy-4-methoxy-piperidine), and (t)Bu(2)NOH. The reactions have been monitored by UV-vis stopped-flow methods, using the different optical spectra of the nitroxyl radicals. The HAT reactions all have |DeltaG (o)| < or = 1.4 kcal mol(-1) and therefore are close to self-exchange reactions. The reaction of 4-oxo-TEMPO(*) + TEMPO-H --> 4-oxo-TEMPO-H + TEMPO(*) occurs with k(2H,MeCN) = 10 +/- 1 M(-1) s(-1) in MeCN at 298 K (K(2H,MeCN) = 4.5 +/- 1.8). Surprisingly, the rate constant for the analogous deuterium atom transfer reaction is much slower: k(2D,MeCN) = 0.44 +/- 0.05 M(-1) s(-1) with k(2H,MeCN)/k(2D,MeCN) = 23 +/- 3 at 298 K. The same large kinetic isotope effect (KIE) is found in CH(2)Cl(2), 23 +/- 4, suggesting that the large KIE is not caused by solvent dynamics or hydrogen bonding to solvent. The related reaction of 4-oxo-TEMPO(*) with 4-MeO-TEMPO-H(D) also has a large KIE, k(3H)/k(3D) = 21 +/- 3 in MeCN. For these three reactions, the E(aD) - E(aH) values, between 0.3 +/- 0.6 and 1.3 +/- 0.6 kcal mol(-1), and the log(A(H)/A(D)) values, between 0.5 +/- 0.7 and 1.1 +/- 0.6, indicate that hydrogen tunneling plays an important role. The related reaction of (t)Bu(2)NO(*) + TEMPO-H(D) in MeCN has a large KIE, 16 +/- 3 in MeCN, and very unusual isotopic activation parameters, E(aD) - E(aH) = -2.6 +/- 0.4 and log(A(H)/A(D)) = 3.1 +/- 0.6. Computational studies, using POLYRATE, also indicate substantial tunneling in the (CH(3))(2)NO(*) + (CH(3))(2)NOH model reaction for the experimental self-exchange processes. Additional calculations on TEMPO((*)/H), (t)Bu(2)NO((*)/H), and Ph(2)NO((*)/H) self-exchange reactions reveal why the phenyl groups make the last of these reactions several orders of magnitude faster than the first two. By inference, the calculations also suggest why tunneling appears to be more important in the self-exchange reactions of dialkylhydroxylamines than of arylhydroxylamines.

Project description:Atom transfer radical addition of haloalkanes and α-halocarbonyls to olefins is efficiently performed with the photocatalyst Ir[(dF(CF(3))ppy)(2)(dtbbpy)]PF(6). This protocol is characterized by excellent yields, mild conditions, low catalyst loading, and broad scope. In addition, the atom transfer protocol can be used to quickly and efficiently introduce vinyl trifluoromethyl groups to olefins and access 1,1-cyclopropane diesters.

Project description:We describe herein a fluorescence-based assay to characterize and report on nucleophilic addition to carbonyl moieties and highlight the advantages a fluorescence-based assay and multiplex analysis can offer. The assay relies on the fluorogenic properties of meso-formyl boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes that become emissive following nucleophilic addition. A reactivity palette is assembled based on the increasing electrophilic character of five meso-formyl BODIPY compounds tested. We show that increasing rates of emission enhancement correlate with the decreasing electrophilic character of BODIPY dyes in the presence of an acid catalyst and a nucleophile. These results are consistent with the rate-limiting step involving activation of the electrophile. Increasing product formation is shown to correlate with the increasing electrophilic character of the BODIPY dyes, as expected based on thermodynamics. In addition to providing rates of reaction, analysis of the fluorescence parameters for the reaction mixtures, including emission quantum yields and fluorescence lifetimes, enables us to determine the extent of reactant conversion at equilibrium (in our case the estimated yield of a transient species) and the presence of different products, without the need for isolation. We anticipate that our reactivity palette approach, combined with the in-depth fluorescence analysis discussed herein, will provide guidelines toward developing fluorogenic assays of reactivity offering multiplex information, beyond fluorescence intensity.

Project description:The use of light to regulate photocatalyzed reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) under mild conditions, especially driven by broadband light or sunlight directly, is highly desired. But the development of a suitable photocatalyzed polymerization system for large-scale production of polymers, especially block copolymers, has remained a big challenge. Herein, we report the development of a phosphine-based conjugated hypercrosslinked polymer (PPh3-CHCP) photocatalyst for an efficient large-scale photoinduced copper-catalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization (Cu-ATRP). Monomers including acrylates and methyl acrylates can achieve near-quantitative conversions under a wide range (450-940 nm) of radiations or sunlight directly. The photocatalyst could be easily recycled and reused. The sunlight-driven Cu-ATRP allowed the synthesis of homopolymers at 200 mL from various monomers, and monomer conversions approached 99% in clouds intermittency with good control over polydispersity. In addition, block copolymers at 400 mL scale can also be obtained, which demonstrates its great potential for industrial applications.

Project description:The tandem catalysis of ring-closing metathesis/atom transfer radical reactions was investigated with the homobimetallic ruthenium-indenylidene complex [(p-cymene)Ru(?-Cl)?RuCl(3-phenyl-1-indenylidene)(PCy?)] (1) to generate active species in situ. The two catalytic processes were first carried out independently in a case study before the whole sequence was optimized and applied to the synthesis of several polyhalogenated bicyclic ?-lactams and lactones from ?,?-diene substrates bearing trihaloacetamide or trichloroacetate functionalities. The individual steps were carefully monitored by ¹H and ³¹P NMR spectroscopies in order to understand the intimate details of the catalytic cycles. Polyhalogenated substrates and the ethylene released upon metathesis induced the clean transformation of catalyst precursor 1 into the Ru(II)-Ru(III) mixed-valence compound [(p-cymene)Ru(?-Cl)?RuCl(2)(PCy?)], which was found to be an efficient promoter for atom transfer radical reactions under the adopted experimental conditions.

Project description:We have developed a photochemical ATRA/ATRC reaction that is mediated by halogen bonding interactions. This reaction is caused by the reaction of malonic acid ester derivatives containing bromine or iodine with unsaturated compounds such as alkenes and alkynes in the presence of diisopropylethylamine under visible light irradiation. As a result of various control experiments, it was found that the formation of complexes between amines and halogens by halogen-bonding interaction occurs in the reaction system, followed by the cleavage of the carbon-halogen bonds by visible light, resulting in the formation of carbon radicals. In this reaction, a variety of substrates can be used, and the products, cyclopentenes and cyclopentanes, were obtained by intermolecular addition and intramolecular cyclization.

Project description:Thanks to the polymer revolution of the 20th century, plastics are now part of our everyday lives. We use plastics as naturally as if they had always been an integral part of our lives. However, in the recent past, we were still predominantly using wood, metal, and glass objects, which were replaced by plastic products at an explosive rate. In many cases, this replacement has resulted in products with better physical, chemical, or biological properties. The changeover was too rapid, and the consequences were not recognized in time. This is evidenced by the huge scale of plastic pollution worldwide today. It is therefore in the interests of the future of both humans and animals that we must pay particular attention to the direct and indirect environmental impact of plastics introduced in animal husbandry. Starting from the tetrafunctional initiator produced as the first step of my work, poly(n-butyll acrylate) star polymers of different molecular weights were synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization, using the so-called “core first” method. The bromine chain end of the produced star polymers was replaced by an azide group using a substitution reaction. Propalgyl telechelic PEGs were synthesized as a result of lattice end modification of poly(ethylene glycol) with different molecular weights. The azidated star polymers were connected with propalgyl telechelic PEGs using Huisgen’s “click” chemical process, and as a result of the “click” connection, amphiphilic polymer networks with several different structures were obtained.

Project description:A versatile approach for the alkynylation of a variety of aliphatic hydrogen donors, including alkanes, is reported. We used tetrabutylammonium decatungstate as photocatalyst to generate organoradicals from C-H/Si-H bonds via hydrogen atom transfer. The latter intermediates underwent SOMOphilic alkynylation by methanesulfonyl alkynes to afford internal alkynes upon loss of a sulfonyl radical. The effect of different radicofugal groups on the reaction outcome was evaluated and rationalized via a combined experimental and computational approach.
