An Enzymatic Platform for Primary Amination of 1-Aryl-2-alkyl Alkynes.

ABSTRACT: Propargyl amines are versatile synthetic intermediates with numerous applications in the pharmaceutical industry. An attractive strategy for efficient preparation of these compounds is nitrene propargylic C(sp³)-H insertion. However, achieving this reaction with good chemo-, regio-, and enantioselective control has proven to be challenging. Here, we report an enzymatic platform for the enantioselective propargylic amination of alkynes using a hydroxylamine derivative as the nitrene precursor. Cytochrome P450 variant PA-G8 catalyzing this transformation was identified after eight rounds of directed evolution. A variety of 1-aryl-2-alkyl alkynes are accepted by PA-G8, including those bearing heteroaromatic rings. This biocatalytic process is efficient and selective (up to 2610 total turnover number (TTN) and 96% ee) and can be performed on preparative scale.

Radical-mediated vicinal addition of alkoxysulfonyl/fluorosulfonyl and trifluoromethyl groups to aryl alkyl alkynes.

Project description:The addition of sulfonyl radicals to alkenes and alkynes is a valuable method for constructing useful highly functionalized sulfonyl compounds. The underexplored alkoxy- and fluorosulfonyl radicals are easily accessed by CF3 radical addition to readily available allylsulfonic acid derivatives and then β-fragmentation. These substituted sulfonyl radicals add to aryl alkyl alkynes to give vinyl radicals that are trapped by trifluoromethyl transfer to provide tetra-substituted alkenes bearing the privileged alkoxy- or fluorosulfonyl group on one carbon and a trifluoromethyl group on the other. This process exhibits broad functional group compatibility and allows for the late-stage functionalization of drug molecules, demonstrating its potential in drug discovery and chemical biology.

An enzymatic platform for the asymmetric amination of primary, secondary and tertiary C(sp<sup>3</sup>)-H bonds.

Project description:The ability to selectively functionalize ubiquitous C-H bonds streamlines the construction of complex molecular architectures from easily available precursors. Here we report enzyme catalysts derived from a cytochrome P450 that use a nitrene transfer mechanism for the enantioselective amination of primary, secondary and tertiary C(sp3)-H bonds. These fully genetically encoded enzymes are produced and function in bacteria, where they can be optimized by directed evolution for a broad spectrum of enantioselective C(sp3)-H amination reactions. These catalysts can aminate a variety of benzylic, allylic and aliphatic C-H bonds in excellent enantioselectivity with access to either antipode of product. Enantioselective amination of primary C(sp3)-H bonds in substrates that bear geminal dimethyl substituents furnished chiral amines that feature a quaternary stereocentre. Moreover, these enzymes enabled the enantioconvergent transformation of racemic substrates that possess a tertiary C(sp3)-H bond to afford products that bear a tetrasubstituted stereocentre, a process that has eluded small-molecule catalysts. Further engineering allowed for the enantioselective construction of methyl-ethyl stereocentres, which is notoriously challenging in asymmetric catalysis.

Direct Aryl C-H Amination with Primary Amines Using Organic Photoredox Catalysis.

Project description:The direct catalytic C-H amination of arenes is a powerful synthetic strategy with useful applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials chemistry. Despite the advances in catalytic C-H functionalization, the use of aliphatic amine coupling partners is limited. Described herein is the construction of C-N bonds, using primary amines, by direct C-H functionalization with an acridinium photoredox catalyst under an aerobic atmosphere. A wide variety of primary amines, including amino acids and more complex amines are competent coupling partners. Various electron-rich aromatics and heteroaromatics are useful scaffolds in this reaction, as are complex, biologically active arenes. We also describe the ability to functionalize arenes that are not oxidized by an acridinium catalyst, such as benzene and toluene, thus supporting a reactive amine cation radical intermediate.

Iridium-catalyzed direct asymmetric reductive amination utilizing primary alkyl amines as the N-sources.

Project description:Direct asymmetric reductive amination is one of the most efficient methods for the construction of chiral amines, in which the scope of the applicable amine coupling partners remains a significant challenge. In this study we describe primary alkyl amines effectively serve as the N-sources in direct asymmetric reductive amination catalyzed by the iridium precursor and sterically tunable chiral phosphoramidite ligands. The density functional theory studies of the reaction mechanism imply the alkyl amine substrates serve as a ligand of iridium strengthened by a (N)H-O(P) hydrogen-bonding attraction, and the hydride addition occurs via an outer-sphere transition state, in which the Cl-H H-bonding plays an important role. Through this concise procedure, cinacalcet, tecalcet, fendiline and many other related chiral amines have been synthesized in one single step with high yields and excellent enantioselectivity.

Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Electrophile Coupling of Aryl Chlorides with Primary Alkyl Chlorides.

Project description:Alkyl chlorides and aryl chlorides are among the most abundant and stable carbon electrophiles. Although their coupling with carbon nucleophiles is well developed, the cross-electrophile coupling of aryl chlorides with alkyl chlorides has remained a challenge. We report here the first general approach to this transformation. The key to productive, selective cross-coupling is the use of a small amount of iodide or bromide along with a recently reported ligand, pyridine-2,6-bis(N-cyanocarboxamidine) (PyBCamCN). The scope of the reaction is demonstrated with 35 examples (63 ± 16% average yield), and we show that the Br- and I- additives act as cocatalysts, generating a low, steady-state concentration of more-reactive alkyl bromide/iodide.

Engaging Alkenes and Alkynes in Deaminative Alkyl-Alkyl and Alkyl-Vinyl Cross-Couplings of Alkylpyridinium Salts.

Project description:An alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling of Katritzky alkylpyridinium salts and organoboranes, formed in situ via hydroboration of alkenes, has been developed. This method utilizes the abundance of both alkyl amine precursors and alkenes to form C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds. This strategy is also effective with alkynes, enabling a C(sp3)-C(sp2) cross-coupling. Under these mild conditions, a broad range of functional groups, including protic groups, is tolerated. As seen with previous alkylpyridinium cross-couplings, mechanistic studies support an alkyl radical intermediate.

Alpha-selective Ni-catalyzed hydroalumination of aryl- and alkyl-substituted terminal alkynes: practical syntheses of internal vinyl aluminums, halides, or boronates.

Project description:A method for Ni-catalyzed hydroalumination of terminal alkynes, leading to the formation of alpha-vinylaluminum isomers efficiently (>98% conv in 2-12 h) and with high selectivity (95% to >98% alpha), is described. Catalytic alpha-selective hydroalumination reactions proceed in the presence of a reagent (diisobutylaluminum hydride; dibal-H) and 3.0 mol % metal complex (Ni(dppp)Cl(2)) that are commercially available and inexpensive. Under the same conditions, but with Ni(PPh(3))(2)Cl(2), hydroalumination becomes highly beta-selective, and, unlike uncatalyzed transformations with dibal-H, generates little or no alkynylaluminum byproducts. All hydrometalation reactions are reliable, operationally simple, and practical and afford an assortment of vinylaluminums that are otherwise not easily accessible. The derived alpha-vinyl halides and boronates can be synthesized through direct treatment with the appropriate electrophiles [e.g., Br(2) and methoxy(pinacolato)boron, respectively]. Ni-catalyzed hydroaluminations can be performed with as little as 0.1 mol % catalyst and on gram scale with equally high efficiency and selectivity.

Project description:A dinuclear Co(ii) complex supported by a modular, tunable redox-active ligand system is capable of selective C-H amination to form indolines from aryl azides in good yields at low (1 mol%) catalyst loading. The reaction is tolerant of medicinally relevant heterocycles, such as pyridine and indole, and can be used to form 5-, 6-, and 7-membered rings. The synthetic versatility obtained using low loadings of an earth abundant transition metal complex represents a significant advance in catalytic C-H amination technology.
