Photoredox Catalysis Unlocks Single-Electron Elementary Steps in Transition Metal Catalyzed Cross-Coupling.

ABSTRACT: Since initial reports, cross-coupling technologies employing photoredox catalysts to access novel reactivity have developed with increasing pace. In this Outlook, prominent examples from the recent literature are organized on the basis of the elementary transformation enabled by photoredox catalysis and are discussed in the context of relevant historical precedent in stoichiometric organometallic chemistry. This treatment allows mechanistic similarities inherent to odd-electron transition metal reactivity to be generalized to a set of lessons for future reaction development.

Coupling of Alternating Current to Transition-Metal Catalysis: Examples of Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling.

Project description:The coupling of transition-metal to photoredox catalytic cycles through single-electron transfer steps has become a powerful tool in the development of catalytic processes. In this work, we demonstrated that transition-metal catalysis can be coupled to alternating current (AC) through electron transfer steps that occur periodically at the same electrode. AC-assisted Ni-catalyzed amination, etherification, and esterification of aromatic bromides showed higher yields and selectivity compared to that observed in the control experiments with direct current. Our mechanistic studies suggested the importance of both reduction and oxidation processes in the maintenance of the AC-assisted catalytic reactions. As described in presented examples, the AC assistance should be well-suited for catalytic cycles involving reductive elimination or oxidative addition as a limiting step.

Project description:We describe the anti-Markovnikov hydrothiolation of olefins using visible-light-absorbing transition metal photocatalysts. The key thiyl radical intermediates are generated upon quenching of photoexcited Ru*(bpz)3(2) with a variety of thiols. The adducts of a wide variety of olefins and thiols are formed in excellent yield (73-99%).

Second Comes First: Switching Elementary Steps in Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions.

Project description:The electron-poor palladium(0) complex L3 Pd (L=tris[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]phosphine) reacts with Grignard reagents RMgX and organolithium compounds RLi via transmetalation to furnish the anionic organopalladates [L2 PdR]- , as shown by negative-ion mode electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry. These palladates undergo oxidative additions of organyl halides R'X (or related SN 2-type reactions) followed by further transmetalation. Gas-phase fragmentation of the resulting heteroleptic palladate(II) complexes results in the reductive elimination of the cross-coupling products RR'. This reaction sequence corresponds to a catalytic cycle, in which the order of the elementary steps of transmetalation and oxidative addition is switched relative to that of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions proceeding via neutral intermediates. An attractive feature of the palladate-based catalytic system is its ability to mediate challenging alkyl-alkyl coupling reactions. However, the poor stability of the phosphine ligand L against decomposition reactions has so far prevented its successful use in practical applications.

Dual catalysis. Single-electron transmetalation in organoboron cross-coupling by photoredox/nickel dual catalysis.

Project description:The routine application of C(sp3)-hybridized nucleophiles in cross-coupling reactions remains an unsolved challenge in organic chemistry. The sluggish transmetalation rates observed for the preferred organoboron reagents in such transformations are a consequence of the two-electron mechanism underlying the standard catalytic approach. We describe a mechanistically distinct single-electron transfer-based strategy for the activation of organoboron reagents toward transmetalation that exhibits complementary reactivity patterns. Application of an iridium photoredox catalyst in tandem with a nickel catalyst effects the cross-coupling of potassium alkoxyalkyl- and benzyltrifluoroborates with an array of aryl bromides under exceptionally mild conditions (visible light, ambient temperature, no strong base). The transformation has been extended to the asymmetric and stereoconvergent cross-coupling of a secondary benzyltrifluoroborate.

Potent Reductants via Electron-Primed Photoredox Catalysis: Unlocking Aryl Chlorides for Radical Coupling.

Project description:We describe a new catalytic strategy to transcend the energetic limitations of visible light by electrochemically priming a photocatalyst prior to excitation. This new catalytic system is able to productively engage aryl chlorides with reduction potentials hundreds of millivolts beyond the potential of Na0 in productive radical coupling reactions. The aryl radicals produced via this strategy can be leveraged for both carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions. Through direct comparison, we illustrate the reactivity and selectivity advantages of this approach relative to electrolysis and photoredox catalysis.

Coupling Photoresponsive Transmembrane Ion Transport with Transition Metal Catalysis.

Project description:Artificial ion transporters have been explored both as tools for studying fundamental ion transport processes and as potential therapeutics for cancer and channelopathies. Here we demonstrate that synthetic transporters may also be used to regulate the transport of catalytic metal ions across lipid membranes and thus control chemical reactivity inside lipid-bound compartments. We show that acyclic lipophilic pyridyltriazoles enable Pd(II) cations to be transported from the external aqueous phase across the lipid bilayer and into the interior of large unilamellar vesicles. In situ reduction generates Pd(0) species, which catalyze the generation of a fluorescent product. Photocaging the Pd(II) transporter allows for photoactivation of the transport process and hence photocontrol over the internal catalysis process. This work demonstrates that artificial transporters enable control over catalysis inside artificial cell-like systems, which could form the basis of biocompatible nanoreactors for applications such as drug synthesis and delivery or to mediate phototargeted catalyst delivery into cells.

Transition State Analysis of Key Steps in Dual Photoredox-Cobalt-Catalyzed Elimination of Alkyl Bromides.

Project description:A combination of inter- and intramolecular 13C kinetic isotope effects and density functional theory analysis is used to evaluate the key mechanistic events of sequentially operating catalytic cycles in the dual photoredox-cobalt-catalyzed elimination of alkyl bromides. The results point to a mechanism proceeding via irreversible halogen-atom transfer (XAT) from the alkyl halide, resulting in an alkyl radical, which undergoes hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) to a Co(II) intermediate to deliver the product olefin. Alternative pathways involving nucleophilic substitution by a Co(I) species and by β-hydride elimination are discounted based on the poor agreement of experimental and predicted 13C KIEs. This mechanistic understanding is used to evaluate the origins of regioselectivity in the elimination step for an unsymmetrical alkyl halide catalyzed by electronically and sterically distinct cobaloxime catalysts. This study represents the experimental validation of the key features of the transition state structure of XAT by α-aminoalkyl radicals, an important class of atom transfer reactions that generate carbon-centered radicals from alkyl and aryl halides. Furthermore, it illustrates the power of 13C KIEs in probing complex mechanisms in metallaphotoredox catalysis.

Systematic Enumeration of Elementary Reaction Steps in Surface Catalysis.

Project description:The direct synthesis of complex chemicals from simple precursors (such as syngas) is one of the main objectives of current research in heterogeneous catalysis. To rationally design catalytic materials for this purpose, it is essential to identify the critical elementary reaction steps that ultimately determine a catalyst's activity and selectivity with respect to a desired product. Unfortunately, the number of potentially relevant elementary steps is in the thousands, even for relatively simple target species like ethanol. The challenge of identifying the critical steps is thus akin to finding the proverbial needle in a haystack. Recently, a model-reduction scheme has been proposed, which tackles this problem by prescreening the barriers of all potential reactions with computationally inexpensive approximations. Although this route appears highly promising, it raises the question of how the starting point of the model-reduction process can be determined. In this contribution, we present a systematic method for enumerating all intermediates and elementary reactions relevant to a chemical process of interest. Using this approach, we construct reaction networks for C,H,O-containing systems consisting of up to four non-hydrogen atoms (more than 1 million reactions). Importantly, the scheme goes beyond simple bond-breaking reactions and allows considering rearrangement and transfer reactions as well. The presented reaction networks thus cover the chemistry of syngas-based processes (and beyond) to an unprecedented scale.

Transition metal-free phosphonocarboxylation of alkenes with carbon dioxide via visible-light photoredox catalysis.

Project description:Catalytic difunctionalization of alkenes has been an ideal strategy to generate structurally complex molecules with diverse substitution patterns. Although both phosphonyl and carboxyl groups are valuable functional groups, the simultaneous incorporation of them via catalytic difunctionalization of alkenes, ideally from abundant, inexpensive and easy-to-handle raw materials, has not been realized. Herein, we report the phosphonocarboxylation of alkenes with CO2 via visible-light photoredox catalysis. This strategy is sustainable, general and practical, providing facile access to important β-phosphono carboxylic acids, including structurally complex unnatural α-amino acids. Diverse alkenes, including enamides, styrenes, enolsilanes and acrylates, undergo such reactions efficiently under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, this method represents a rare example of redox-neutral difunctionalization of alkenes with H-P(O) compounds, including diaryl- and dialkyl- phosphine oxides and phosphites. Importantly, these transition-metal-free reactions also feature low catalyst loading, high regio- and chemo-selectivities, good functional group tolerance, easy scalability and potential for product derivatization.

Haloselective Cross-Coupling via Ni/Photoredox Dual Catalysis.

Project description:The chemoselective functionalization of polyfunctional aryl linchpins is crucial for rapid diversification. Although well-explored for Csp2 and Csp nucleophiles, the chemoselective introduction of Csp3 groups remains notoriously difficult and is virtually undocumented using Ni catalysts. To fill this methodological gap, a "haloselective" cross-coupling process of arenes bearing two halogens, I and Br, using ammonium alkylbis(catecholato)silicates, has been developed. Utilizing Ni/photoredox dual catalysis, Csp3 -Csp2 bonds can be forged selectively at the iodine-bearing carbon of bromo(iodo)arenes. The described high-yielding, base-free strategy accommodates various protic functional groups. Selective electrophile activation enables installation of a second Csp3 center and can be done without the need for purification of the intermediate monoalkylated product.
