Selective Functionalization of Arene C(sp²)-H Bonds by Gold Catalysis: The Role of Carbene Substituents.

ABSTRACT: The complete regioselective incorporation of carbene units to nonactivated arene rings has been achieved employing gold(I) catalysts bearing alkoxydiaminophosphine ligands, with readily available, nonelaborated ethyl 2-phenyldiazoacetate as the carbene source. These results are in contrast with the scarce precedents which required highly elaborated diazo substrates. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have revealed the important role of the R group in the C(R)CO₂Et fragment, which dramatically affects the energy profile of this transformation.

Site Selective Chlorination of C(sp3 )-H Bonds Suitable for Late-Stage Functionalization.

Project description:C(sp3 )-Cl bonds are present in numerous biologically active small molecules, and an ideal route for their preparation is by the chlorination of a C(sp3 )-H bond. However, most current methods for the chlorination of C(sp3 )-H bonds are insufficiently site selective and tolerant of functional groups to be applicable to the late-stage functionalization of complex molecules. We report a method for the highly selective chlorination of tertiary and benzylic C(sp3 )-H bonds to produce the corresponding chlorides, generally in high yields. The reaction occurs with a mixture of an azidoiodinane, which generates a selective H-atom abstractor under mild conditions, and a readily-accessible and inexpensive copper(II) chloride complex, which efficiently transfers a chlorine atom. The reaction's exceptional functional group tolerance is demonstrated by the chlorination of >30 diversely functionalized substrates and the late-stage chlorination of a dozen derivatives of natural products and active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Aminodealkenylation: Ozonolysis and copper catalysis convert C(sp3)-C(sp2) bonds to C(sp3)-N bonds.

Project description:Great efforts have been directed toward alkene π bond amination. In contrast, analogous functionalization of the adjacent C(sp3)-C(sp2) σ bonds is much rarer. Here we report how ozonolysis and copper catalysis under mild reaction conditions enable alkene C(sp3)-C(sp2) σ bond-rupturing cross-coupling reactions for the construction of new C(sp3)-N bonds. We have used this unconventional transformation for late-stage modification of hormones, pharmaceutical reagents, peptides, and nucleosides. Furthermore, we have coupled abundantly available terpenes and terpenoids with nitrogen nucleophiles to access artificial terpenoid alkaloids and complex chiral amines. In addition, we applied a commodity chemical, α-methylstyrene, as a methylation reagent to prepare methylated nucleosides directly from canonical nucleosides in one synthetic step. Our mechanistic investigation implicates an unusual copper ion pair cooperative process.

Selective Quadruple C(sp3)-F Functionalization of Polyfluoroalkyl Ketones.

Project description:The significance of organofluorine compounds has inspired the establishment of numerous methods for the functionalization of rather inert C-F bonds. Despite advances achieved in the manipulation of C(sp2)-F bonds by employing transition-metal catalysts, such as Pd, Rh, Cu, Ni, Ru, and Ir, strategies that address the paucity of effective pathways for selective activation of multiple C(sp3)-F bonds remained challenging. In this context, we present an unprecedented coupling-aromatization-cyclization reaction of polyfluorinated ketones with diverse N- and S-nucleophiles that forms regiodefined perfluoroalkylated naphtho[1,2-b]furan/benzofuran derivatives by harnessing Co-promoted distinctive quadruple C(sp3)-F bonds cleavage relay. This chemistry involving controlled and successive selective defluorination at heteronuclear centers would greatly contribute to the preparation of drug-like heterocycles as well as the late-stage elaboration of biorelevant compounds. Controlled experiments and DFT theoretical studies revealed that the combination of cheap cobalt salt with Cs2CO3 enable expeditious C-F functionalization.

Site-selective coupling of remote C(sp3)-H/meta-C(sp2)-H bonds enabled by Ru/photoredox dual catalysis and mechanistic studies.

Project description:Construction of C(sp2)-C(sp3) bonds via regioselective coupling of C(sp2)-H/C(sp3)-H bonds is challenging due to the low reactivity and regioselectivity of C-H bonds. Here, a novel photoinduced Ru/photocatalyst-cocatalyzed regioselective cross-dehydrogenative coupling of dual remote C-H bonds, including inert γ-C(sp3)-H bonds in amides and meta-C(sp2)-H bonds in arenes, to construct meta-alkylated arenes has been accomplished. This metallaphotoredox-enabled site-selective coupling between remote inert C(sp3)-H bonds and meta-C(sp2)-H bonds is characterized by its unique site-selectivity, redox-neutral conditions, broad substrate scope and wide use of late-stage functionalization of bioactive molecules. Moreover, this reaction represents a novel case of regioselective cross-dehydrogenative coupling of unactivated alkanes and arenes via a new catalytic process and provides a new strategy for meta-functionalized arenes under mild reaction conditions. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and control experiments explained the site-selectivity and the detailed mechanism of this reaction.

Enzymatic assembly of carbon-carbon bonds via iron-catalysed sp3 C-H functionalization.

Project description:Although abundant in organic molecules, carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds are typically considered unreactive and unavailable for chemical manipulation. Recent advances in C-H functionalization technology have begun to transform this logic, while emphasizing the importance of and challenges associated with selective alkylation at a sp3 carbon1,2. Here we describe iron-based catalysts for the enantio-, regio- and chemoselective intermolecular alkylation of sp3 C-H bonds through carbene C-H insertion. The catalysts, derived from a cytochrome P450 enzyme in which the native cysteine axial ligand has been substituted for serine (cytochrome P411), are fully genetically encoded and produced in bacteria, where they can be tuned by directed evolution for activity and selectivity. That these proteins activate iron, the most abundant transition metal, to perform this chemistry provides a desirable alternative to noble-metal catalysts, which have dominated the field of C-H functionalization1,2. The laboratory-evolved enzymes functionalize diverse substrates containing benzylic, allylic or α-amino C-H bonds with high turnover and excellent selectivity. Furthermore, they have enabled the development of concise routes to several natural products. The use of the native iron-haem cofactor of these enzymes to mediate sp3 C-H alkylation suggests that diverse haem proteins could serve as potential catalysts for this abiological transformation, and will facilitate the development of new enzymatic C-H functionalization reactions for applications in chemistry and synthetic biology.

Gold(iii)-arene complexes by insertion of olefins into gold-aryl bonds.

Project description:The synthesis and characterization of the first gold(iii)-arene complexes are described. Well-defined (P,C)-cyclometalated gold(iii)-aryl complexes were prepared and characterized by NMR spectroscopy. These complexes swiftly and cleanly reacted with norbornene and ethylene to provide cationic gold(iii)-alkyl complexes, in which the remote phenyl ring was η2-coordinated to gold. The interaction between the aromatic ring and the gold(iii) center was thoroughly analyzed by NMR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and DFT calculations. The π-arene coordination was found to significantly influence the stability and reactivity of low coordinated gold(iii) alkyl species.

Carbene-Controlled Regioselective Functionalization of Linear Alkanes under Silver Catalysis.

Project description:Control of the regioselectivity in the functionalization of C-H bonds of linear alkanes C2H2n+2 via carbene transfer from diazo compounds is restricted to the use of rhodium-based catalysts, which govern the reaction outcome employing donor-acceptor diazo reagents. At variance with that catalyst-controlled strategy, we present an alternative approach in which employing the appropriate silver complexes containing trispyrazolylborate ligands as catalysts with large differences in their steric and electronic properties, the regioselection is mainly governed by the diazo reagent, which leads to the functionalization of primary or secondary sites of linear alkanes (lacking any activating or directing groups). Donor-acceptor aryl diazoacetates exclusively provide the functionalization of the secondary sites of hexane or pentane, whereas acceptor ethyl diazoacetate leads to an unprecedented level of primary functionalization.

Functionalization of α-C(sp3 )-H Bonds in Amides Using Radical Translocating Arylating Groups.

Project description:α-C-H arylation of N-alkylamides using 2-iodoarylsulfonyl radical translocating arylating (RTA) groups is reported. The method allows the construction of α-quaternary carbon centers in amides. Various mono- and disubstituted RTA-groups are applied to the arylation of primary, secondary, and tertiary α-C(sp3 )-H-bonds. These radical transformations proceed in good to excellent yields and the cascades comprise a 1,6-hydrogen atom transfer, followed by a 1,4-aryl migration with subsequent SO2 extrusion.

Copper-promoted site-selective carbonylation of sp3 and sp2 C-H bonds with nitromethane.

Project description:Copper-promoted direct carbonylation of unactivated sp3 C-H and aromatic sp2 C-H bonds of amides was developed using nitromethane as a novel carbonyl source. The sp3 C-H functionalization showed high site-selectivity by favoring the C-H bonds of α-methyl groups. The sp2 C-H carbonylation featured high regioselectivity and good functional group compatibility. Kinetic isotope effect studies indicated that the sp3 C-H bond breaking step is reversible, whereas the sp2 C-H bond cleavage is an irreversible but not the rate-determining step. Control experiments showed that a nitromethyl intermediate should be involved in the present reaction.

"Sandwich" Diimine-Copper Catalyzed Trifluoroethylation and Pentafluoropropylation of Unactivated C(sp3 )-H Bonds by Carbene Insertion.

Project description:We report here "sandwich"-diimine copper complex-catalyzed trifluoroethylation and pentafluoropropylation of unactivated C(sp3 )-H bonds in alkyl esters, halides, and protected amines by employing CF3 CHN2 and CF3 CF2 CHN2 reagents. Reactions proceed in dichloromethane solvent at room temperature. Identical C-H functionalization conditions and stoichiometries are employed for generality and convenience. Selectivities for C-H insertions are higher for compounds possessing stronger electron-withdrawing substituents. Preliminary mechanistic studies point to a mechanism involving a pre-equilibrium forming a "sandwich"-diimine copper-CF3 CHN2 complex followed by rate-determining loss of nitrogen affording the reactive copper carbene. It reacts with trifluoromethyldiazomethane about 6.5 times faster than with 1-fluoroadamantane explaining the need for slow addition of the diazo compound.
