Visible Light-Mediated Dearomative Hydrogen Atom Abstraction/ Cyclization Cascade of Indoles.

ABSTRACT: The photochemical synthesis of yet unknown 2-oxospiro[azetidine-3,3'-indolines] (17 examples, 80-95 % yield), 2,4-dioxospiro[azetidine-3,3'-indolines] (eight examples, 87-97 % yield), and 1-oxo-1,3-dihydrospiro[indene-2,3'-indolines] (17 examples, 85-97 % yield) is described. Starting from readily accessible 3-substituted indoles, a dearomatization of the indole core was accomplished upon irradiation at λ=420 nm in the presence of thioxanthen-9-one (10 mol%) as the sensitizer. Based on mechanistic evidence (triplet energy determination, deuteration experiments, by-product analysis) it is proposed that the reaction proceeds by energy transfer via a 1,4- or 1,5-diradical intermediate. The latter intermediates are formed by excited state hydrogen atom transfer from suitable alkyl groups within the C3 substituent to the indole C2 carbon atom. Subsequent ring closure proceeds with pronounced diastereoselectivity to generate a 4- or 5-membered spirocyclic dearomatized product with several options for further functionalization.

Reductive dearomative arylcarboxylation of indoles with CO<sub>2</sub> via visible-light photoredox catalysis.

Project description:Catalytic reductive coupling of two electrophiles and one unsaturated bond represents an economic and efficient way to construct complex skeletons, which is dominated by transition-metal catalysis via two electron transfer. Herein, we report a strategy of visible-light photoredox-catalyzed successive single electron transfer, realizing dearomative arylcarboxylation of indoles with CO2. This strategy avoids common side reactions in transition-metal catalysis, including ipso-carboxylation of aryl halides and β-hydride elimination. This visible-light photoredox catalysis shows high chemoselectivity, low loading of photocatalyst, mild reaction conditions (room temperature, 1 atm) and good functional group tolerance, providing great potential for the synthesis of valuable but difficultly accessible indoline-3-carboxylic acids. Mechanistic studies indicate that the benzylic radicals and anions might be generated as the key intermediates, thus providing a direction for reductive couplings with other electrophiles, including D2O and aldehyde.

Visible-Light-Mediated Dearomatisation of Indoles and Pyrroles to Pharmaceuticals and Pesticides.

Project description:Dearomatisation of indole derivatives to the corresponding isatin derivatives has been achieved with the aid of visible light and oxygen. It should be noted that isatin derivatives are highly important for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. Notably, this chemistry works excellently with N-protected and protection-free indoles. Additionally, this methodology can also be applied to dearomatise pyrrole derivatives to generate cyclic imides in a single step. Later this methodology was applied for the synthesis of four pharmaceuticals and a pesticide called dianthalexin?B. Detailed mechanistic studies revealed the actual role of oxygen and photocatalyst.

Dearomative triple elementalization of quinolines driven by visible light.

Project description:Organoboron and organosilicon compounds are used not only as synthetic building blocks but also as functional materials and pharmaceuticals, and compounds with multiple boryl and silyl groups are beginning to be used for these purposes. Especially in drug discovery, methodology providing easy stereoselective access to aliphatic nitrogen heterocycles bearing multiple boryl or silyl groups from readily available aromatic nitrogen heterocycles would be attractive. However, such transformations remain challenging, and available reactions have been mostly limited to dearomative hydroboration or hydrosilylation reactions. Here, we report the dearomative triple elementalization (carbo-sila-boration) of quinolines via the addition of organolithium followed by photo-boosted silaboration, affording the desired products with complete chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity. The reaction proceeds via the formation of silyl radicals instead of silyl anions. We also present preliminary studies to illustrate the potential of silaboration products as synthetic platforms.

Rapid RNA strand scission following C2'-hydrogen atom abstraction.

Project description:C2'-Nucleotide radicals have been proposed as key intermediates in direct strand break formation in RNA exposed to ionizing radiation. Uridin-2'-yl radical (1) was independently generated in single- and double-stranded RNA via photolysis of a ketone precursor. Direct stand breaks result from heterolytic cleavage of the adjacent C3'-carbon-oxygen bond. Trapping of 1 by O2 or ?-mercaptoethanol (1 M) does not compete with strand scission, indicating that phosphate elimination is >10(6) s(-1). Uracil loss also does not compete with strand scission. When considered in conjunction with reports that nucleobase radicals produce 1, this chemistry explains why RNA is significantly more susceptible to strand scission by ionizing radiation (hydroxyl radical) than is DNA.

DNA double strand cleavage via interstrand hydrogen atom abstraction.

Project description:Double strand breaks (DSBs) are the most deleterious form of DNA damage. Natural products that produce them are potent cytotoxic agents. Designing molecules that produce DSBs via a single chemical event is challenging. We determined that formation of a C4'-nucleotide radical in duplex DNA under aerobic conditions gives rise to a DSB. The original radical yields a strand break containing a peroxyl radical, which initiates opposite strand cleavage via C4'-hydrogen atom abstraction. This mechanism provides the impetus to design DNA damaging agents that produce DSBs by abstracting a single hydrogen atom from the biopolymer.

Fast Hydrogen Atom Abstraction by a Hydroxo Iron(III) Porphyrazine.

Project description:A reactive hydroxoferric porphyrazine complex, [(PyPz)FeIII(OH) (OH2)]4+ (1, PyPz = tetramethyl-2,3-pyridino porphyrazine), has been prepared via one-electron oxidation of the corresponding ferrous species [(PyPz)FeII(OH2)2]4+ (2). Electrochemical analysis revealed a pH-dependent and remarkably high FeIII-OH/FeII-OH2 reduction potential of 680 mV vs Ag/AgCl at pH 5.2. Nernstian behavior from pH 2 to pH 8 indicates a one-proton, one-electron interconversion throughout that range. The O-H bond dissociation energy of the FeII-OH2 complex was estimated to be 84 kcal mol-1. Accordingly, 1 reacts rapidly with a panel of substrates via C-H hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), reducing 1 to [(PyPz)FeII(OH2)2]4+ (2). The second-order rate constant for the reaction of [(PyPz)FeIII(OH) (OH2)]4+ with xanthene was 2.22 × 103 M-1 s-1, 5-6 orders of magnitude faster than other reported FeIII-OH complexes and faster than many ferryl complexes.

Beyond the classical thermodynamic contributions to hydrogen atom abstraction reactivity.

Project description:Hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) reactions are cornerstones of chemistry. Various (metallo)enzymes performing the HAA catalysis evolved in nature and inspired the rational development of multiple synthetic catalysts. Still, the factors determining their catalytic efficiency are not fully understood. Herein, we define the simple thermodynamic factor η by employing two thermodynamic cycles: one for an oxidant (catalyst), along with its reduced, protonated, and hydrogenated form; and one for the substrate, along with its oxidized, deprotonated, and dehydrogenated form. It is demonstrated that η reflects the propensity of the substrate and catalyst for (a)synchronicity in concerted H+/e- transfers. As such, it significantly contributes to the activation energies of the HAA reactions, in addition to a classical thermodynamic (Bell-Evans-Polanyi) effect. In an attempt to understand the physicochemical interpretation of η, we discovered an elegant link between η and reorganization energy λ from Marcus theory. We discovered computationally that for a homologous set of HAA reactions, λ reaches its maximum for the lowest |η|, which then corresponds to the most synchronous HAA mechanism. This immediately implies that among HAA processes with the same reaction free energy, ΔG 0, the highest barrier (≡ΔG ≠) is expected for the most synchronous proton-coupled electron (i.e., hydrogen) transfer. As proof of concept, redox and acidobasic properties of nonheme FeIVO complexes are correlated with activation free energies for HAA from C-H and O-H bonds. We believe that the reported findings may represent a powerful concept in designing new HAA catalysts.

Cascade trifluoromethylthiolation and cyclization of <i>N</i>-[(3-aryl)propioloyl]indoles.

Project description:A cascade oxidative trifluoromethylthiolation and cyclization of N-[(3-aryl)propioloyl]indoles with AgSCF3 is described. This protocol allows for the synthesis of novel bis(trifluoromethylthiolated) or trifluoromethylthiolated pyrrolo[1,2-a]indol-3-ones in moderate to good yields. Mechanistic investigations indicated that radical processes were probably involved in these transformations.
