"On water" sp3-sp2 cross-couplings between benzylic and alkenyl halides.

ABSTRACT: Organic-solvent-free cross-couplings between benzylic and alkenyl halides have been developed. Various alkenyl halides can be efficiently benzylated by combining the precursor halides in the presence of Zn dust and a Pd catalyst at room temperature, in water as the only medium.

Cross-couplings between benzylic and aryl halides "on water": synthesis of diarylmethanes.

Project description:A remarkably simple entry to unsymmetrical diarylmethanes has been developed that relies on an in situ organozinc-mediated, palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling. Thus, by mixing a benzyl and aryl halide together in the presence of Zn metal and a Pd catalyst, diarylmethanes are formed at room temperature without assistance by a surfactant; hence, "on water".

Stereoselective Negishi-like couplings between alkenyl and alkyl halides in water at room temperature.

Project description:Mix in water and then stir. That is all that is required in this new approach to stereoselective sp(3)-sp(2) cross-couplings between an alkyl and alkenyl halide. Prior formation of organozinc reagents is not required.

Ligand effects on Negishi couplings of alkenyl halides.

Project description:Negishi couplings at olefinic centers do not always occur with the anticipated maintenance of stereochemistry. The source of erosion has been traced to the ligand, and a modified method has been developed that solves the stereochemical issue and significantly improves yields of Negishi couplings in general.

Stereoselective Csp3 -Csp2 Cross-Couplings of Chiral Secondary Alkylzinc Reagents with Alkenyl and Aryl Halides.

Project description:We report palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of chiral secondary non-stabilized dialkylzinc reagents, prepared from readily available chiral secondary alkyl iodides, with alkenyl and aryl halides. This method provides ?-chiral alkenes and arenes with very high retention of configuration (dr up to 98:2) and satisfactory overall yields (up to 76?% for 3 reaction steps). The configurational stability of these chiral non-stabilized dialkylzinc reagents was determined and exceeded several hours at 25?°C. DFT calculations were performed to rationalize the stereoretention during the catalytic cycle. Furthermore, the cross-coupling reaction was applied in an efficient total synthesis of the sesquiterpenes (S)- and (R)-curcumene with control of the absolute stereochemistry.

Alcohols as Latent Coupling Fragments for Metallaphotoredox Catalysis: sp3-sp2 Cross-Coupling of Oxalates with Aryl Halides.

Project description:Alkyl oxalates, prepared from their corresponding alcohols, are engaged for the first time as carbon radical fragments in metallaphotoredox catalysis. In this report, we demonstrate that alcohols, native organic functional groups, can be readily activated with simple oxalyl chloride to become radical precursors in a net redox-neutral Csp3-Csp2 cross-coupling with a broad range of aryl halides. This alcohol-activation coupling is successfully applied to the functionalization of a naturally occurring steroid and the expedient synthesis of a medicinally relevant drug lead.

Direct synthesis of Z-alkenyl halides through catalytic cross-metathesis.

Project description:Olefin metathesis has had a large impact on modern organic chemistry, but important shortcomings remain: for example, the lack of efficient processes that can be used to generate acyclic alkenyl halides. Halo-substituted ruthenium carbene complexes decompose rapidly or deliver low activity and/or minimal stereoselectivity, and our understanding of the corresponding high-oxidation-state systems is limited. Here we show that previously unknown halo-substituted molybdenum alkylidene species are exceptionally reactive and are able to participate in high-yielding olefin metathesis reactions that afford acyclic 1,2-disubstituted Z-alkenyl halides. Transformations are promoted by small amounts of a catalyst that is generated in situ and used with unpurified, commercially available and easy-to-handle liquid 1,2-dihaloethene reagents, and proceed to high conversion at ambient temperature within four hours. We obtain many alkenyl chlorides, bromides and fluorides in up to 91 per cent yield and complete Z selectivity. This method can be used to synthesize biologically active compounds readily and to perform site- and stereoselective fluorination of complex organic molecules.

Transforming Benzylic Amines into Diarylmethanes: Cross-Couplings of Benzylic Pyridinium Salts via C-N Bond Activation.

Project description:A nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of benzylic pyridinium salts with arylboronic acids was developed. Coupled with chemoselective pyridinium formation, this method allows benzyl primary amines to be efficiently converted to di(hetero)arylmethanes. Excellent heteroaryl and functional group tolerance is observed, and a one-pot procedure enables benzylic amines to be converted to diarylmethanes directly.
