Dearomatization through Photoredox Hydroarylation: Discovery of a Radical-Polar Crossover Strategy.

ABSTRACT: Indole dearomatization has been achieved via radical hydroarylation. Under mild photoredox conditions, a range of indole derivatives undergo hydroarylation to form 2-arylindoline products. Mechanistically, radical termination occurs primarily via stepwise reduction/protonation, with a small contribution from concerted hydrogen atom transfer. This mechanistic understanding prompted the extension of this reactivity to benzenoid dearomatization. This work formed the foundation of our program, which utilizes reductive radical-polar crossover to drive highly selective dearomatization pathways.

Hydroarylation of Arenes via Reductive Radical-Polar Crossover.

Project description:A photocatalytic system for the dearomative hydroarylation of benzene derivatives has been developed. Using a combination of an organic photoredox catalyst and an amine reductant, this process operates through a reductive radical-polar crossover mechanism where aryl halide reduction triggers a regioselective radical cyclization event, followed by anion formation and quenching to produce a range of complex spirocyclic cyclohexadienes. This light-driven protocol functions at room temperature in a green solvent system (aq. MeCN) without the need for precious metal-based catalysts or reagents or the generation of stoichiometric metal byproducts.

Photoredox Radical/Polar Crossover Enables Construction of Saturated Nitrogen Heterocycles.

Project description:Photoredox-mediated radical/polar crossover (RPC) processes offer new avenues for the synthesis of cyclic molecules. This process has been realized for the construction of medium-sized saturated nitrogen heterocycles. Photocatalytically generated alkyl radicals possessing pendant leaving groups engage imines in C-C bond formation, and subsequent reduction of the intermediate nitrogen-centered radical triggers anionic ring closure. With the aid of visible light irradiation, substituted pyrrolidines, piperidines, and azepanes can be prepared under mild, redox-neutral conditions.

Redox-Neutral Photocatalytic Cyclopropanation via Radical/Polar Crossover.

Project description:A benchtop stable, bifunctional reagent for the redox-neutral cyclopropanation of olefins has been developed. Triethylammonium bis(catecholato)iodomethylsilicate can be readily prepared on multigram scale. Using this reagent in combination with an organic photocatalyst and visible light, cyclopropanation of an array of olefins, including trifluoromethyl- and pinacolatoboryl-substituted alkenes, can be accomplished in a matter of hours. The reaction is highly tolerant of traditionally reactive functional groups (carboxylic acids, basic heterocycles, alkyl halides, etc.) and permits the chemoselective cyclopropanation of polyolefinated compounds. Mechanistic interrogation revealed that the reaction proceeds via a rapid anionic 3- exo- tet ring closure, a pathway consistent with experimental and computational data.

Organophotoredox-catalyzed semipinacol rearrangement via radical-polar crossover.

Project description:Over the past century, significant progress in semipinacol rearrangement involving 1,2-migration of α-hydroxy carbocations has been made in the areas of catalysis and total synthesis of natural products. To access the α-hydroxy carbocation intermediate, conventional acid-mediated or electrochemical approaches have been employed. However, the photochemical semipinacol rearrangement has been underdeveloped. Herein, we report the organophotoredox-catalyzed semipinacol rearrangement via radical-polar crossover (RPC). A phenothiazine-based organophotoredox catalyst facilitates the generation of an α-hydroxy non-benzylic alkyl radical followed by oxidation to the corresponding carbocation, which can be exploited to undergo the semipinacol rearrangement. As a result, the photochemical approach enables decarboxylative semipinacol rearrangement of β-hydroxycarboxylic acid derivatives and alkylative semipinacol type rearrangement of allyl alcohols with carbon electrophiles, producing α-quaternary or α-tertiary carbonyls bearing sp3-rich scaffolds.

A Radical-Polar Crossover Annulation To Access Terpenoid Motifs.

The annulation proceeds under exceptionally mild conditions and provides direct and expedient access to complex terpenoid motifs.

Photoredox-Catalyzed Cyclobutane Synthesis by a Deboronative Radical Addition-Polar Cyclization Cascade.

Project description:Photoredox-catalyzed methylcyclobutanations of alkylboronic esters are described. The reactions proceed through single-electron transfer induced deboronative radical addition to an electron-deficient alkene followed by single-electron reduction and polar 4-exo-tet cyclization with a pendant alkyl halide. Key to the success of the methodology was the use of easily oxidizable arylboronate complexes. Structurally diverse cyclobutanes are shown to be conveniently prepared from readily available alkylboronic esters and a range of haloalkyl alkenes. The mild reactions display excellent functional group tolerance, and the radical addition-polar cyclization cascade also enables the synthesis of 3-, 5-, 6-, and 7-membered rings.

Radical-Polar Crossover Annulation: A Platform for Accessing Polycyclic Cyclopropanes

Project description:Photoredox-mediated radical/polar crossover (RPC) processes provide unique solutions to challenging annulations. Herein, we describe an approach to the cyclopropanation of olefins that are embedded within bicyclic scaffolds. Whereas these systems are notoriously recalcitrant toward classical cyclopropanation approaches, RPC cyclopropanation can be executed with ease, leading to polycarbocyclic and polyheterocyclic cyclopropanes. The cyclopropanation proceeds through a photoredox-enabled Giese-type radical addition followed by an intramolecular anionic substitution reaction on a neopentyl leaving group. Graphical Abstract

Arene dearomatization through a catalytic N-centered radical cascade reaction.

Project description:Arene dearomatization reactions are an important class of synthetic technologies for the rapid assembly of unique chemical architectures. Herein, we report a catalytic protocol to initiate a carboamination/dearomatization cascade that proceeds through transient sulfonamidyl radical intermediates formed from native sulfonamide N-H bonds leading to 1,4-cyclohexadiene-fused sultams. Importantly, this work demonstrates a facile approach to employ two-dimensional aromatic compounds as modular building blocks to generate richly substituted, three-dimensional compounds. These reactions occur at room temperature under visible light irradiation and are catalyzed by the combination of an iridium(III) photocatalyst and a dialkyl phosphate base. Reaction optimization, substrate scope, mechanistic features, and synthetic applications of this transformation are presented.

Radical-Polar Crossover Reactions of Dienylboronate Complexes: Synthesis of Functionalized Allylboronic Esters.

Project description:Radical-polar crossover reactions of dienylboronate complexes are applied to the synthesis of functionalized secondary and tertiary allylboronic esters. The transition-metal-free three-component coupling uses readily accessible dienylboronate esters as substrates in combination with various sp3/sp2 carbon nucleophiles and commercial alkyl iodides as radical precursors. In the visible light-initiated radical chain process, two new C-C bonds are formed, and the E-double bond geometry in the product allylboronic esters is controlled with good to excellent selectivity.

Photocatalytic Reductive Radical-Polar Crossover for a Base-Free Corey-Seebach Reaction.

Project description:A metal-free generation of carbanion nucleophiles is of prime importance in organic synthesis. Herein we report a photocatalytic approach to the Corey-Seebach reaction. The presented method operates under mild redox-neutral and base-free conditions giving the desired product with high functional group tolerance. The reaction is enabled by the combination of photo- and hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) catalysis. This catalytic merger allows a C-H to carbanion activation by the abstraction of a hydrogen atom followed by radical reduction. The generated nucleophilic intermediate is then capable of adding to carbonyl electrophiles. The obtained dithiane can be easily converted to the valuable α-hydroxy carbonyl in a subsequent step. The proposed reaction mechanism is supported by emission quenching, radical-radical homocoupling and deuterium labeling studies as well as by calculated redox-potentials and bond strengths.
