Modular Entry to Functionalized Tetrahydrobenzo[b]azepines via the Palladium/Norbornene Cooperative Catalysis Enabled by a C7-Modified Norbornene.

ABSTRACT: Tetrahydrobenzo[b]azepines (THBAs) are commonly found in many bioactive compounds; however, the modular preparation of functionalized THBAs remains challenging to date. Here, we report a straightforward method to synthesize THBAs directly from simple aryl iodides via palladium/norbornene (Pd/NBE) cooperative catalysis. Capitalizing on an olefin-tethered electrophilic amine reagent, an ortho amination followed by 7-exo-trig Heck cyclization furnishes the seven-membered heterocycle. To overcome the difficulty with ortho-unsubstituted aryl iodide substrates, we discovered a unique C7-bromo-substituted NBE (N1) to offer the desired reactivity and selectivity. In addition to THBAs, synthesis of other benzo-seven-membered ring compounds can also be promoted by N1. Combined experimental and computational studies show that the C7-bromo group in N1 plays an important and versatile role in this catalysis, including promoting β-carbon elimination, suppressing benzocyclobutene formation, and stabilizing reaction intermediates. The mechanistic insights gained could guide future catalyst design. The synthetic utility has been demonstrated in a streamlined synthesis of tolvaptan and forming diverse pharmaceutically relevant THBA derivatives. Finally, a complementary and general catalytic condition to access C6-substituted THBAs from ortho-substituted aryl iodides has also been developed.

Modular ipso/ ortho Difunctionalization of Aryl Bromides via Palladium/Norbornene Cooperative Catalysis.

Project description:Palladium/norbornene (Pd/NBE) cooperative catalysis has emerged as a useful tool for preparing poly substituted arenes; however, its substrate scope has been largely restricted to aryl iodides. While aryl bromides are considered as standard substrates for Pd-catalyzed cross coupling reactions, their use in Pd/NBE catalysis remains elusive. Here we describe the development of general approaches for aryl bromide-mediated Pd/NBE cooperative catalysis. Through careful tuning the phosphine ligands and quenching nucleophiles, ortho amination, acylation and alkylation of aryl bromides have been realized in good efficiency. Importantly, various heteroarene substrates also work well and a wide range of functional groups are tolerated. In addition, the utility of these methods has been demonstrated in sequential cross coupling/ ortho functionalization reactions, consecutive Pd/NBE-catalyzed difunctionalization to construct penta-substituted aromatics and two-step meta functionalization reactions. Moreover, the origin of the ligand effect in ortho amination reactions has been explored through DFT studies. It is expected that this effort would significantly expand the reaction scope and enhance the synthetic potential for Pd/NBE catalysis in preparing complex aromatic compounds.

Sulfenamide-enabled ortho thiolation of aryl iodides via palladium/norbornene cooperative catalysis.

Project description:Poly-substituted aromatic sulfur compounds are widely found in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and organic materials. However, the position that a sulfur moiety can be introduced to is largely restricted to a pre-functionalized site; otherwise, use of electronically biased substrates or auxiliary groups that direct catalysis is required. Here we report a general ortho thiolation of common aryl and heteroaryl iodides via palladium-norbornene cooperative catalysis. Using this approach, an aryl or alky sulfur moiety can be site-selectively introduced at the arene ortho position without using sterically or electronically biased substrates. The arene ipso functionalization is simultaneously achieved through Heck, Suzuki or Sonogashira termination. The reaction is enabled by a unique class of electrophiles in palladium-norbornene cooperative catalysis, which are sulfenamides derived from seven-membered lactams. The broad substrates scope and high chemoselectivity could make this method attractive for synthesis of complex sulfur-containing aromatic compounds.

Direct Vicinal Difunctionalization of Thiophenes Enabled by the Palladium/Norbornene Cooperative Catalysis.

Project description:Herein we report a direct vicinal difunctionalization of thiophenes via the palladium/norbornene (Pd/NBE) cooperative catalysis. A series of mono- and disubstituted thiophenes can be difunctionalized site-selectively and regioselectively at the C4 and C5 positions in good yields, enabled by an arsine ligand and a unique amide-based NBE. The synthetic utility has been shown in derivatizations of complex bioactive compounds and an open-flask gram-scale preparation. Preliminary results have been obtained in the difunctionalization of furans and a direct C4-selective arylation of 2-substituted thiophenes.

Distal Alkenyl C-H Functionalization via the Palladium/Norbornene Cooperative Catalysis.

Project description:A distal-selective alkenyl C-H arylation method is reported through a directed palladium/norbornene (Pd/NBE) cooperative catalysis. The key is to use an appropriate combination of the directing group and the NBE cocatalyst. A range of acyclic and cyclic cis-olefins are suitable substrates, and the reaction is operated under air with excellent site-selectivity. Preliminary mechanistic studies are consistent with the proposed Pd/NBE-catalyzed C-H activation instead of the Heck pathway. Initial success on distal alkylation has also been achieved using MeI and methyl bromoacetate as electrophiles.

Redox-Neutral <i>ortho</i> Functionalization of Aryl Boroxines via Palladium/Norbornene Cooperative Catalysis.

Project description:Palladium/norbornene (Pd/NBE) cooperative catalysis, also known as the Catellani reaction, has become an increasingly useful method for site-selective arene functionalization; however, certain constraints still exist due to its intrinsic mechanistic pathway. Herein we report a redox-neutral ortho functionalization of aryl boroxines via Pd/NBE catalysis. An electrophile, such as carboxylic acid anhydrides or O-benzoyl hydroxylamines, is coupled at the boroxine ortho position, and a proton as the second electrophile is introduced at the ipso position. This reaction does not require extra oxidants or reductants, and avoids stoichiometric bases or acids, thereby tolerating a wide range of functional groups. In particular, orthogonal chemoselectivity between aryl iodide and boroxine moieties is demonstrated, which could be used to control reaction sequences. Finally, a deuterium labelling study supports the ipso-protonation pathway. This unique mechanistic feature could inspire the development of a new class of Pd/NBE-catalyzed transformations.

A Cooperative N-Heterocyclic Carbene/Palladium Catalysis System.

Project description:N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) have been extensively studied as organocatalysts and ligands for transition metals, but the successful integration of NHCs and late transition metals in cooperative catalysis remains an underexplored area. We have developed a cooperative palladium-catalyzed allylation of NHC-activated aldehydes to access a variety of 3-allyl dihydrocoumarin derivatives. Kinetic experiments support a cooperative pathway for this transformation.

S,O-Ligand Promoted meta-C-H Arylation of Anisole Derivatives via Palladium/Norbornene Catalysis.

Project description:Reversing the conventional site-selectivity of C-H activation processes provides new retrosynthetic disconnections to otherwise unreactive bonds. Here, we report a new catalytic system based on palladium/norbornene and an S,O-ligand for the meta-C-H arylation of aryl ethers that significantly outperforms previously reported systems. We demonstrate the unique ability of this system to employ alkoxyarene substrates bearing electron donating and withdrawing substituents. Additionally, ortho-substituted aryl ethers are well tolerated, overcoming the "ortho constraint", which is the necessity to have a meta-substituent on the alkoxyarene to achieve high reaction efficiency, by enlisting novel norbornene mediators. Remarkably, for the first time the monoarylation of alkoxyarenes is achieved efficiently enabling the subsequent introduction of a second, different aryl coupling partner to rapidly furnish unsymmetrical terphenyls. Further insight into the reaction mechanism was achieved by isolation and characterization of some Pd-complexes-before and after meta C-H activation-prior to evaluation of their respective catalytic activities.

Chemoselective Decarboxylative Protonation Enabled by Cooperative Earth-Abundant Element Catalysis.

Project description:Decarboxylative protonation is a general deletion tactic to replace polar carboxylic acid groups with hydrogen or its isotope. Current methods rely on the pre-activation of acids, non-sustainable hydrogen sources, and/or expensive/highly oxidizing photocatalysts, presenting challenges to their wide adoption. Here we show that a cooperative iron/thiol catalyst system can readily achieve this transformation, hydrodecarboxylating a wide range of activated and unactivated carboxylic acids and overcoming scope limitations in previous direct methods. The reaction is readily scaled in batch configuration and can be directly performed in deuterated solvent to afford high yields of d-incorporated products with excellent isotope incorporation efficiency; characteristics not attainable in previous photocatalyzed approaches. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate a radical mechanism and kinetic results of unactivated acids (KIE=1) are consistent with a light-limited reaction.

Redox-neutral ortho-C-H amination of pinacol arylborates via palladium(ii)/norbornene catalysis for aniline synthesis.

Project description:A palladium(ii)/norbornene cooperative catalysis enabled redox-neutral ortho-C-H amination of pinacol aryl- or heteroarylborates for the synthesis of structurally diverse anilines is reported. This method is scalable, robust (tolerance of air and moisture), phosphine ligand-free, and compatible with a wide range of functionalities. These practical features make this reaction amenable for industry. A plethora of synthetically very useful halogenated anilines, which often cannot be prepared via other transition-metal-catalyzed aminations, are readily produced using this method. Particularly, the orthogonal reactivity between pinacol arylborates and aryl iodides is demonstrated. Preliminary deuterium-labeling studies reveal a redox-neutral ipso-protonation mechanism of this process, which will surely inspire the future development of this field. Overall, the exceptionally broad scope (47 examples) and reliability of this procedure, together with the wide availability of pinacol arylborates, make this chemistry a valuable addition to the existing methods for aniline synthesis.

Entry to 1,2,3,4-Tetrasubstituted Arenes through Addressing the "<i>Meta</i> Constraint" in the Palladium/Norbornene Catalysis.

Project description:Arenes with four different contiguous substituents, i.e. 1,2,3,4-tetrasubstituted arenes, are commonly found in bioactive compounds, but they are nontrivial to access via conventional methods. Through addressing the "meta constraint" in the palladium/norbornene (Pd/NBE) cooperative catalysis, which is the difficulty of tolerating a sizable meta substituent in aryl halide substrates, here a modular and regioselective approach is realized for preparing 1,2,3,4-tetrasubstituted arenes. One key is the use of a C2-amide-substituted NBE, and a combined experimental and computational study reveals its role in promoting the NBE insertion and the ortho C-H metalation steps. The scope is broad: a variety of electrophiles and nucleophiles could be introduced to the ortho and ipso positions, respectively, with 1,4-disubstituted aryl halides, leading to diverse unsymmetrical contiguous tetrasubstituted arenes. Application of this approach has been demonstrated in streamlined syntheses of several bioactive compounds.
