Mechanistic Insights into Iron-Catalyzed C-H Bond Activation and C-C Coupling.

ABSTRACT: Iron-catalyzed C-C coupling reactions of pyrrole provide a unique alternative to the traditional Pd-catalyzed counterpart. However, many details regarding the actual mechanism remain unknown. A series of macrocyclic iron(III) complexes were used to evaluate specifics related to the role of O₂, radicals, and μ-oxodiiron-complex participation in the catalytic cycle. It was determined that the mononuclear tetra-azamacrocyclic complex is a true catalyst and not a stoichiometric reagent, while more than one equivalent of a sacrificial oxidant is needed. Furthermore, the reaction does not proceed through an organic radical pathway. μ-Oxodiiron complexes are not involved in the main catalytic pathway, and the dimers are, in fact, off-cycle species that decrease catalytic efficiency.

Iron-catalyzed α-C-H functionalization of π-bonds: cross-dehydrogenative coupling and mechanistic insights.

Project description:The deprotonation of propargylic C-H bonds for subsequent functionalization typically requires stoichiometric metal alkyl or amide reagents. In addition to the undesirable generation of stoichiometric metallic waste, these conditions limit the functional group compatibility and versatility of this functionalization strategy and often result in regioisomeric mixtures. In this article, we report the use of dicarbonyl cyclopentadienyliron(ii) complexes for the generation of propargylic anion equivalents toward the direct electrophilic functionalization of propargylic C-H bonds under mild, catalytic conditions. This technology was applied to the direct conversion of C-H bonds to C-C bonds for the synthesis of several functionalized scaffolds through a one-pot cross dehydrogenative coupling reaction with tetrahydroisoquinoline and related privileged heterocyclic scaffolds. A series of NMR studies and deuterium-labelling experiments indicated that the deprotonation of the propargylic C-H bond was the rate-determining step when a Cp*Fe(CO)2-based catalyst system was employed.

Enantioselective Vanadium-Catalyzed Oxidative Coupling: Development and Mechanistic Insights.

Project description:The evolution of a more reactive chiral vanadium catalyst for enantioselective oxidative coupling of phenols is reported, ultimately resulting in a simple monomeric vanadium species combined with a Brønsted or Lewis acid additive. The resultant vanadium complex is found to effect the asymmetric oxidative ortho-ortho coupling of simple phenols and 2-hydroxycarbazoles with good to excellent levels of enantioselectivity. Experimental and quantum mechanical studies of the mechanism indicate that the additives aggregate the vanadium monomers. In addition, a singlet to triplet crossover is implicated prior to carbon-carbon bond formation. The two lowest energy diastereomeric transition states leading to the enantiomeric products differ substantially with the path to the minor enantiomer involving greater torsional strain between the two phenol moieties.

Iron-Catalyzed Reductive Coupling of Alkyl Iodides with Alkynes To Yield cis-Olefins: Mechanistic Insights from Computation.

Project description:In a recent study, a new procedure for Z-selective olefin synthesis by reductive coupling of alkyl iodides with terminal alkynes in the presence of iron salts is described. This transformation is representative of many newly developed synthetic routes through the involvement of multiple species and phases, which makes mechanistic insight hard to obtain. Here, we report computational work aimed at exploring the possible reaction pathways. DFT calculations lead to two suggested routes, one involving C-I reduction by metallic zinc and radical addition to the alkyne and the other involving addition of two reduced iron species to the alkyne bond followed by reductive elimination. Comparison to experimental results as well as kinetic modeling is used to discuss the likelihood of these and related mechanisms.

Iron-Catalyzed C-H Activation with Propargyl Acetates: Mechanistic Insights into Iron(II) by Experiment, Kinetics, Mossbauer Spectroscopy, and Computation.

Project description:An iron-catalyzed C-H/N-H alkyne annulation was realized by using a customizable clickable triazole amide under exceedingly mild reaction conditions. A unifying mechanistic approach combining experiment, spectroscopy, kinetics, and computation provided strong support for facile C-H activation by a ligand-to-ligand hydrogen transfer (LLHT) mechanism. Combined Mössbauer spectroscopic analysis and DFT calculations were indicative of high-spin iron(II) species as the key intermediates in the C-H activation manifold.

Mechanistic insights into copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative coupling of N-N bonds.

Project description:Catalytic N-N coupling is a valuable transformation for chemical synthesis and energy conversion. Here, mechanistic studies are presented for two related copper-catalyzed oxidative aerobic N-N coupling reactions, one involving the synthesis of a pharmaceutically relevant triazole and the other relevant to the oxidative conversion of ammonia to hydrazine. Analysis of catalytic and stoichiometric N-N coupling reactions support an "oxidase"-type catalytic mechanism with two redox half-reactions: (1) aerobic oxidation of a CuI catalyst and (2) CuII-promoted N-N coupling. Both reactions feature turnover-limiting oxidation of CuI by O2, and this step is inhibited by the N-H substrate(s). The results highlight the unexpected facility of the N-N coupling step and establish a foundation for development of improved catalysts for these transformations.

Mechanistic Insights into CYP199A4-Catalyzed α-Hydroxyketone Formation and Hydrogen Bond-Assisted C-C Bond Cleavage Catalyzed by the CYP199A4 F182L Mutant.

Project description:CYP199A4 is a cytochrome P450 and can catalyze the hydroxylation of 4-propionylbenzoic acid (4-pIBA) to generate α-hydroxyketone with high stereoselectivity. The F182L mutant of CYP199A4 (F182L-CYP199A4) has been shown to support the cleavage of the C-C bond between the carbonyl and hydroxyl groups of α-hydroxyketone, whereas wild-type CYP199A4 cannot. To uncover how the Phe182 regulates substrate reactivity, we conducted classical molecular dynamics (MD) and quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) MD simulations on these systems. The results predicted that the formation of α-hydroxyketone preferentially led to the (S)-enantiomer. Moreover, the findings revealed that the F182L-CYP199A4 facilitated the formation of a hydrogen bond between the α-hydroxyketone and the reactive peroxoanion (POA) species. This interaction stabilized the α-hydroxyketone near POA and promoted the subsequent C-C bond cleavage. The mechanism of α-hydroxyketone formation and the subsequent C-C bond cleavage were elucidated by employing the hybrid density functional theory (DFT). The α-hydroxyketone formation mechanism involved C-H hydroxylation of 4-pIBA with a rate-limiting energy barrier of 17.1 kcal/mol. The C-C bond cleavage of α-hydroxyketone catalyzed by F182L-CYP199A4 occurred via a radical attack mechanism.

Reaction scope and mechanistic insights of nickel-catalyzed migratory Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling.

Project description:Cross-coupling reactions have developed into powerful approaches for carbon-carbon bond formation. In this work, a Ni-catalyzed migratory Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling featuring high benzylic or allylic selectivity has been developed. With this method, unactivated alkyl electrophiles and aryl or vinyl boronic acids can be efficiently transferred to diarylalkane or allylbenzene derivatives under mild conditions. Importantly, unactivated alkyl chlorides can also be successfully used as the coupling partners. To demonstrate the applicability of this method, we showcase that this strategy can serve as a platform for the synthesis of terminal, partially deuterium-labeled molecules from readily accessible starting materials. Experimental studies suggest that migratory cross-coupling products are generated from Ni(0/II) catalytic cycle. Theoretical calculations indicate that the chain-walking occurs at a neutral nickel complex rather than a cationic one. In addition, the original-site cross-coupling products can be obtained by alternating the ligand, wherein the formation of the products has been rationalized by a radical chain process.

Mechanistic Model for Enantioselective Intramolecular Alkene Cyanoamidation via Palladium-Catalyzed C-CN Bond Activation.

Project description:We studied key aspects of the mechanism of Pd-catalyzed C-CN bond activation and intramolecular enantioselective alkene cyanoamidation. An Abboud-Abraham-Kamlet-Taft (AAKT) linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) model for enantioselectivity was established. We investigated the impact of Lewis acid (BPh3), Lewis base (DMPU), and no additives. BPh3 additive led to diminished enantioselectivity and differing results in 13CN crossover experiments, initial rate kinetics, and natural abundance 12C/13C kinetic isotope effect measurements. We propose two catalytic mechanisms to account for our experimental results. We propose that the DMPU/nonadditive pathway passes through a κ2-phosphoramidite-stabilized Pd+ intermediate, resulting in high enantioselectivity. BPh3 prevents the dissociation of CN-, leading to a less rigid κ2-phosphoramidite-neutral Pd intermediate.
