C(spⁿ )-X (n=1-3) Bond Activation by Palladium.

ABSTRACT: We have studied the palladium-mediated activation of C(spⁿ )-X bonds (n = 1-3 and X = H, CH₃ , Cl) in archetypal model substrates H₃ C-CH₂ -X, H₂ C=CH-X and HC≡C-X by catalysts PdL_n with L_n = no ligand, Cl^- , and (PH₃ )₂ , using relativistic density functional theory at ZORA-BLYP/TZ2P. The oxidative addition barrier decreases along this series, even though the strength of the bonds increases going from C(sp³ )-X, to C(sp² )-X, to C(sp)-X. Activation strain and matching energy decomposition analyses reveal that the decreased oxidative addition barrier going from sp³ , to sp² , to sp, originates from a reduction in the destabilizing steric (Pauli) repulsion between catalyst and substrate. This is the direct consequence of the decreasing coordination number of the carbon atom in C(spⁿ )-X, which goes from four, to three, to two along this series. The associated net stabilization of the catalyst-substrate interaction dominates the trend in strain energy which indeed becomes more destabilizing along this same series as the bond becomes stronger from C(sp³ )-X to C(sp)-X.

Enantioselective palladium-catalyzed C(sp2)-C(sp2) σ bond activation of cyclopropenones by merging desymmetrization and (3 + 2) spiroannulation with cyclic 1,3-diketones.

Project description:Catalytic asymmetric variants for functional group transformations based on carbon-carbon bond activation still remain elusive. Herein we present an unprecedented palladium-catalyzed (3 + 2) spiro-annulation merging C(sp2)-C(sp2) σ bond activation and click desymmetrization to form synthetically versatile and value-added oxaspiro products. The operationally straightforward and enantioselective palladium-catalyzed atom-economic annulation process exploits a TADDOL-derived bulky P-ligand bearing a large cavity to control enantioselective spiro-annulation that converts cyclopropenones and cyclic 1,3-diketones into chiral oxaspiro cyclopentenone-lactone scaffolds with good diastereo- and enantio-selectivity. The click-like reaction is a successful methodology with a facile construction of two vicinal carbon quaternary stereocenters and can be used to deliver additional stereocenters during late-state functionalization for the synthesis of highly functionalized or more complex molecules.

Reversing conventional site-selectivity in C(sp3)-H bond activation.

Project description:One of the core barriers to developing C-H activation reactions is the ability to distinguish between multiple C-H bonds that are nearly identical in terms of electronic properties and bond strengths. Through recognition of distance and molecular geometry, remote C(sp2)-H bonds have been selectively activated in the presence of proximate ones. Yet achieving such unconventional site selectivity with C(sp3)-H bonds remains a paramount challenge. Here we report a combination of a simple pyruvic acid-derived directing group and a 2-pyridone ligand that enables the preferential activation of the distal γ-C(sp3)-H bond over the proximate β-C(sp3)-H bonds for a wide range of alcohol-derived substrates. A competition experiment between the five- and six-membered cyclopalladation step, as well as kinetic experiments, demonstrate the feasibility of using geometric strain to reverse the conventional site selectivity in C(sp3)-H activation.

Palladium-Catalyzed [3 + 2] Cycloaddition via Twofold 1,3-C(sp3)-H Activation.

Project description:Cycloaddition reactions provide an expeditious route to construct ring systems in a highly convergent and stereoselective manner. For a typical cycloaddition reaction to occur, however, the installation of multiple reactive functional groups (π-bonds, leaving group, etc.) is required within the substrates, compromising the overall efficiency or scope of the cycloaddition reaction. Here, we report a palladium-catalyzed [3 + 2] reaction that utilizes twofold C(sp3)-H activation to generate the three-carbon unit for formal cycloaddition. The initial β-C(sp3)-H activation of aliphatic amide, followed by maleimide insertion, triggers a relayed, second C(sp3)-H activation to complete a formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition. The key to success was the use of weakly coordinating amide as the directing group, as previous studies have shown that Heck or alkylation pathways are preferred when stronger-coordinating directing groups are used with maleimide coupling partners. To promote the amide-directed C(sp3)-H activation step, the use of pyridine-3-sulfonic acid ligands is crucial. This method is compatible with a wide range of amide substrates, including lactams, which lead to spiro-bicyclic products. The [3 + 2] product is also shown to undergo a reductive desymmetrization process to access chiral cyclopentane bearing multiple stereocenters with excellent enantioselectivity.

Hydrodealkenylative C(sp3)-C(sp2) bond fragmentation.

Project description:Chemical synthesis typically relies on reactions that generate complexity through elaboration of simple starting materials. Less common are deconstructive strategies toward complexity-particularly those involving carbon-carbon bond scission. Here, we introduce one such transformation: the hydrodealkenylative cleavage of C(sp3)-C(sp2) bonds, conducted below room temperature, using ozone, an iron salt, and a hydrogen atom donor. These reactions are performed in nonanhydrous solvents and open to the air; reach completion within 30 minutes; and deliver their products in high yields, even on decagram scales. We have used this broadly functionality tolerant transformation to produce desirable synthetic intermediates, many of which are optically active, from abundantly available terpenes and terpenoid-derived precursors. We have also applied it in the formal total syntheses of complex molecules.

C-H bond activation at palladium(IV) centers.

Project description:This communication describes the first observation and study of C-H activation at a Pd(IV) center. This transformation was achieved by designing model complexes in which the rate of reductive elimination is slowed relative to that of the desired C-H activation process. Remarkably, the C-H activation reaction can proceed under mild conditions and with complementary site selectivity to analogous transformations at Pd(II). These results provide a platform for incorporating this new reaction as a step in catalytic processes.

Activation of perfluoroalkyl iodides by anions: extending the scope of halogen bond activation to C(sp3)-H amidation, C(sp2)-H iodination, and perfluoroalkylation reactions.

Project description:A simple, efficient, and convenient activation of perfluoroalkyl iodides by tBuONa or KOH, without expensive photo- or transition metal catalysts, allows the promotion of versatile α-sp3 C-H amidation reactions of alkyl ethers and benzylic hydrocarbons, C-H iodination of heteroaryl compounds, and perfluoroalkylations of electron-rich π bonds. Mechanistic studies show that these novel protocols are based on the halogen bond interaction between perfluoroalkyl iodides and tBuONa or KOH, which promote homolysis of perfluoroalkyl iodides under mild conditions.

Silacyclization through palladium-catalyzed intermolecular silicon-based C(sp2)-C(sp3) cross-coupling.

Project description:Silicon-based cross-coupling has been recognized as one of the most reliable alternatives for constructing carbon-carbon bonds. However, the employment of such reaction as an efficient ring expansion strategy for silacycle synthesis is comparatively little known. Herein, we develop the first intermolecular silacyclization strategy involving Pd-catalyzed silicon-based C(sp2)-C(sp3) cross-coupling. This method allows the modular assembly of a vast array of structurally novel and interesting sila-benzo[b]oxepines with good functional group tolerance. The key to success for this reaction is that silicon atoms have a stronger affinity for oxygen nucleophiles than carbon nucleophiles, and silacyclobutanes (SCBs) have inherent ring-strain-release Lewis acidity.

β-Ketoallylic methylsulfones synthesis via inert C(sp3)-H bond activation by magnetic Ag-Cu MOF.

Project description:Herein, the one-pot tandem synthesis of β-ketoallylic methylsulfones has been achieved from readily available dimethyl sulfoxide and acetophenones as coupling partners in one step. In this procedure, dimethyl sulfoxide serves as a triple role including solvent, dual synthon and as an oxidant agent. The use of magnetic Ag-Cu MOF as a bimetallic catalyst is the key to the progress of the reaction due to its accessible active sites. It provides facile access to various β-ketoallylic methylsulfone derivatives from direct C(sp3)-H bond activation and functionalization of aromatic methyl ketones especially acetophenones with electron-rich and electron-poor groups. Moreover, the present work offers a synthetically powerful strategy to form products in good to excellent yields (74-96%) with the atom, step, and pot economics. It has also delivered a new chromane-4-one derivative from 2-hydroxy acetophenone with intramolecular Michael-addition of related β-ketoallyl methylsulfone product. In the final step, the electronic properties of some products have been predicted with the theoretical studies.

Temperature-modulated selective C(sp3)-H or C(sp2)-H arylation through palladium catalysis.

Project description:Transition metal-catalysed C-H bond functionalisations have been extensively developed in organic and medicinal chemistry. Among these catalytic approaches, the selective activation of C(sp3)-H and C(sp2)-H bonds is particularly appealing for its remarkable synthetic versatility, yet it remains highly challenging. Herein, we demonstrate the first example of temperature-dependent selective C-H functionalisation of unactivated C(sp3)-H or C(sp2)-H bonds at remote positions through palladium catalysis using 7-pyridyl-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine as a new directing group. At 120 °C, C(sp3)-H arylation was triggered by the chelation of a rare [6,5]-fused palladacycle, whereas at 140 °C, C(sp2)-H arylation proceeded instead through the formation of a 16-membered tetramer containing four 7-pyridyl-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-palladium chelation units. The subsequent mechanistic study revealed that both C-H activations shared a common 6-membered palladacycle intermediate, which was then directly transformed to either the [6,5]-fused palladacycle for C(sp3)-H activation at 120 °C or the tetramer for C(sp2)-H arylation at 140 °C with catalytic amounts of Pd(OAc)2 and AcOH. Raising the temperature from 120 °C to 140 °C can also convert the [6,5]-fused palladacycle to the tetramer with the above-mentioned catalysts, hence completing the C(sp2)-H arylation ultimately.
