Cross-electrophile coupling: principles of reactivity and selectivity.

ABSTRACT: A critical overview of the catalytic joining of two different electrophiles, cross-electrophile coupling (XEC), is presented with an emphasis on the central challenge of cross-selectivity. Recent synthetic advances and mechanistic studies have shed light on four possible methods for overcoming this challenge: (1) employing an excess of one reagent; (2) electronic differentiation of starting materials; (3) catalyst-substrate steric matching; and (4) radical chain processes. Each method is described using examples from the recent literature.

About the selectivity and reactivity of active nickel electrodes in C-C coupling reactions.

Project description:Active anodes which are operating in highly stable protic media such as 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol are rare. Nickel forms, within this unique solvent, a non-sacrificial active anode at constant current conditions, which is superior to the reported powerful molybdenum system. The reactivity for dehydrogenative coupling reactions of this novel active anode increases when the electrolyte is not stirred during electrolysis. Besides the aryl-aryl coupling, a dehydrogenative arylation reaction of benzylic nitriles was found while stirring the mixture providing quick access to synthetically useful building blocks.

Understanding Site Selectivity in the Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Allenylsilanolates.

Project description:Allenylsilanolates can undergo cross-coupling at the α- or γ-terminus, and site selectivity appears to be determined by the intrinsic transmetalation mechanism. Fine-tuning of concentration, nucleophilicity, and steric bulk of the silanolate moiety allows for the selective formation of one isomer over the other. Whereas the α-isomer can be obtained in synthetically useful yield, the γ-isomer is favored only when employing reaction conditions that are inevitably associated with diminished reactivity.

Synthesis and reactivity of solid-supported organotrifluoroborates in Suzuki cross-coupling.

Project description:Solid-supported organotrifluoroborates were prepared in high yields by ion exchange with Amberlyst resins. The reactivity of solid supported aryltrifluoroborates was evaluated in Suzuki-Miyaura couplings with numerous aryl bromide partners. Electron-rich and -poor substituents were tolerated on both substrates, providing yields up to 90%. Examples of alkyl-, alkenyl-, alkynyl-, and heteroaryltrifluoborates were also successfully cross-coupled to aryl halides.

Chromium-Salen Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Phenols: Mechanism and Origin of the Selectivity.

Project description:A highly chemoselective phenol cross-coupling reaction catalyzed by a Cr-salen catalyst was developed. Kinetic studies showed that the oxidation of Cr(III) to Cr(V) is the rate-determining step of the reaction. In addition, experimental stoichiometric analysis showed that a high valent Cr(V) species is the active catalyst for this process. The selectivity of the reaction was found to be determined by the cross-coupling carbon-carbon bond forming reaction, rather than any precoordination species. It appears that the lowest energy cross-coupling pathway requires a lesser degree of electronic reorganization in its transition state vs the lowest energy homocoupling pathway. This result was supported by stoichiometric Cr(V) kinetics, 13C kinetic isotope effects, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The understanding of the full landscape of this reaction allowed us to develop a general analysis to predict the regioselectivity of the cross-coupling reaction.

Gold-catalyzed allylation of aryl boronic acids: accessing cross-coupling reactivity with gold.

Project description:A sp(3)-sp(2) C-C cross-coupling reaction catalyzed by gold in the absence of a sacrificial oxidant is described. Vital to the success of this method is the implementation of a bimetallic catalyst bearing a bis(phosphino)amine ligand. A mechanistic hypothesis is presented, and observable transmetalation, C-Br oxidative addition, and C-C reductive elimination in a model gold complex are shown. We expect that this method will serve as a platform for the development of novel transformations involving redox-active gold catalysts.

Mechanism and selectivity in nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of aryl halides with alkyl halides.

Project description:The direct cross-coupling of two different electrophiles, such as an aryl halide with an alkyl halide, offers many advantages over conventional cross-coupling methods that require a carbon nucleophile. Despite its promise as a versatile synthetic strategy, a limited understanding of the mechanism and origin of cross selectivity has hindered progress in reaction development and design. Herein, we shed light on the mechanism for the nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of aryl halides with alkyl halides and demonstrate that the selectivity arises from an unusual catalytic cycle that combines both polar and radical steps to form the new C-C bond.

Design principles governing chemomechanical coupling of kinesin.

Project description:A systematic chemomechanical network model for the molecular motor kinesin is presented in this report. The network model is based on the nucleotide-dependent binding affinity of the heads to an microtubule (MT) and the asymmetries and similarities between the chemical transitions caused by the intramolecular strain between the front and rear heads. The network model allows for multiple chemomechanical cycles and takes into account all possible mechanical transitions between states in which one head is strongly bound and the other head is weakly bound to an MT. The results obtained from the model show the ATP-concentration dependence of the dominant forward stepping cycle and support a gated rear head mechanism in which the forward step is controlled by ATP hydrolysis and the resulting ADP-bound state of the rear head when the ATP level is saturated. When the ATP level is saturated, the energy from ATP hydrolysis is used to concentrate the chemical transition flux to a force-generating state that can produce the power stroke. In contrast, when the ATP level is low, the hydrolysis energy is consumed to avoid states in which the leading head is weakly bound to an MT and to inhibit frequent backward steps upon loading.

Predicting wavelength-dependent photochemical reactivity and selectivity.

Project description:Predicting the conversion and selectivity of a photochemical experiment is a conceptually different challenge compared to thermally induced reactivity. Photochemical transformations do not currently have the same level of generalized analytical treatment due to the nature of light interaction with a photoreactive substrate. Herein, we bridge this critical gap by introducing a framework for the quantitative prediction of the time-dependent progress of photoreactions via common LEDs. A wavelength and concentration dependent reaction quantum yield map of a model photoligation, i.e., the reaction of thioether o-methylbenzaldehydes via o-quinodimethanes with N-ethylmaleimide, is initially determined with a tunable laser system. Combined with experimental parameters, the data are employed to predict LED-light induced conversion through a wavelength-resolved numerical simulation. The model is validated with experiments at varied wavelengths. Importantly, a second algorithm allows the assessment of competing photoreactions and enables the facile design of λ-orthogonal ligation systems based on substituted o-methylbenzaldehydes.

Expanded substrate scope and improved reactivity of ether-forming cross-coupling reactions of organotrifluoroborates and acetals.

Project description:Mixed acetals and organotrifluoroborates undergo BF(3)·OEt(2)-promoted cross-couplings to give dialkyl ethers under simple, mild conditions. A survey of reaction partners identified a hydroxamate leaving group that improves the regioselectivity and product yield in the BF(3)·OEt(2)-promoted coupling reaction of mixed acetals and potassium alkynyl-, alkenyl-, aryl- and heteroaryltrifluoroborates to access substituted dialkyl ethers. This leaving group enables the reaction to proceed rapidly under mild conditions (0 °C, 5-60 min) and permits reactions with electron-deficient potassium aryltrifluoroborates that are less reactive with other acetal substrates. A study of the reaction mechanism and characterization of key intermediates by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography identified a role for the hydroxamate moiety as a reversible leaving group that serves to stabilize the key oxocarbenium intermediate and the need for a slight excess of organodifluoroborane to serve as a catalyst. A secondary role for the boron nucleophile as an activating ligand was also considered. These studies provide the basis for a general class of reagents that lead to dialkyl ethers by a simple, predictable cross-coupling reaction.

Reactivity and selectivity in hydrovinylation of strained alkenes.

Project description:The scope of Ni(II)-catalyzed hydrovinylation has been extended to strained alkenes such as heterobicyclic [2.2.1]heptanes and cylobutenes. Reactions involving the heterobicyclic compounds are rare examples for this class of compounds where the metal-catalyzed C-C bond-forming reactions proceed without a concomitant ring-opening process. While the enantioselectivity in these systems remains modest, hydrovinylation of endo-5,6--bis-benzyloxymethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene gives excellent yield (>90%) of the product with one of the highest enantioselectivities (95-99% ee) reported for a C-C bond-forming reaction of norbornenes.
