Reagent-dictated site selectivity in intermolecular aliphatic C-H functionalizations using nitrogen-centered radicals.

ABSTRACT: The site selectivities of intermolecular, aliphatic C-H bond functionalizations are central to the value of these transformations. While the scope of these reactions continues to expand, the site selectivities remain largely dictated by the inherent reactivity of the substrate C-H bonds. Herein, we introduce reagent-dictated site selectivity to intermolecular aliphatic C-H functionalizations using nitrogen-centered amidyl radicals. Simple modifications of the amide lead to high levels of site selectivity in intermolecular C-H functionalizations across a range of simple and complex substrates. DFT calculations demonstrate that the steric demand of the reacting nitrogen-centered radical is heavily affected by the substitution pattern of the starting amide. Optimization of transition state structures consistently indicated higher reagent-dictated steric selectivities using more hindered amides, consistent with experimental results.

Identifying Amidyl Radicals for Intermolecular C-H Functionalizations.

Project description:Recent studies have demonstrated the capabilities of amidyl radicals to facilitate a range of intermolecular functionalizations of unactivated, aliphatic C-H bonds. Relatively little information is known regarding the important structural and electronic features of amidyl and related radicals that impart efficient reactivity. Herein, we evaluate a diverse range of nitrogen-centered radicals in unactivated, aliphatic C-H chlorinations. These studies establish the salient features of nitrogen-centered radicals critical to these reactions in order to expedite the future development of new site-selective, intermolecular C-H functionalizations.

Independent Photochemical Generation and Reactivity of Nitrogen-Centered Purine Nucleoside Radicals from Hydrazines.

Project description:Photochemical precursors that produce dA• and dG(N2-H)• are needed to investigate their reactivity. The synthesis of two 1,1-diphenylhydrazines (1, 2) and their use as photochemical sources of dA• and dG(N2-H)• is presented. Trapping studies indicate production of these radicals with good fidelity, and 1 was incorporated into an oligonucleotide via solid-phase synthesis. Cyclic voltammetric studies show that reduction potentials of 1 and 2 are lower than those of widely used "hole sinks", e.g., 8-oxodGuo and 7-deazadGuo, to investigate DNA-hole transfer processes. These molecules could be useful (a) as sources of dA• and dG(N2-H)• at specific sites in oligonucleotides and (b) as "hole sinks" for the study of DNA-hole transfer processes.

Visible-Light-Mediated Generation of Nitrogen-Centered Radicals: Metal-Free Hydroimination and Iminohydroxylation Cyclization Reactions.

Project description:The formation and use of iminyl radicals in novel and divergent hydroimination and iminohydroxylation cyclization reactions has been accomplished through the design of a new class of reactive O-aryl oximes. Owing to their low reduction potentials, the inexpensive organic dye eosin Y could be used as the photocatalyst of the organocatalytic hydroimination reaction. Furthermore, reaction conditions for a unique iminohydroxylation were identified; visible-light-mediated electron transfer from novel electron donor-acceptor complexes of the oximes and Et3N was proposed as a key step of this process.

Analyzing site selectivity in Rh2(esp)2-catalyzed intermolecular C-H amination reactions.

Project description:Predicting site selectivity in C-H bond oxidation reactions involving heteroatom transfer is challenged by the small energetic differences between disparate bond types and the subtle interplay of steric and electronic effects that influence reactivity. Herein, the factors governing selective Rh2(esp)2-catalyzed C-H amination of isoamylbenzene derivatives are investigated, where modification to both the nitrogen source, a sulfamate ester, and substrate are shown to impact isomeric product ratios. Linear regression mathematical modeling is used to define a relationship that equates both IR stretching parameters and Hammett ?(+) values to the differential free energy of benzylic versus tertiary C-H amination. This model has informed the development of a novel sulfamate ester, which affords the highest benzylic-to-tertiary site selectivity (9.5:1) observed for this system.

Deconstructive Functionalizations of Unstrained Carbon-Nitrogen Cleavage Enabled by Difluorocarbene.

Project description:Transition-metal- or oxidant-promoted deconstructive functionalizations of noncyclic carbon-nitrogen bonds are well established, usually only leaving one moiety functionalized toward the final product. In contrast, concomitant C- and N-functionalizations via the unstrained C(sp3)-N bond under metal- and oxidant-free conditions are very rare, which would favorably confer versatility and product diversity. Disclosed herein is the first difluorocarbene-induced deconstructive functionalizations embodying successive C(sp3)-N bond cleavage of cyclic amines and synchronous functionalization of both constituent atoms which would be preserved in the eventual molecular outputs under transition-metal-free and oxidant-free conditions. Correspondent access to deuterated formamides with ample isotopic incorporation was demonstrated by a switch to heavy water which is conceivably useful in pharmaceutical sciences. The current strategy remarkably administers a very convenient, operationally simple and novel method toward molecular diversity from readily available starting materials. Therefore, we project that these findings would be of broad interest to research endeavors encompassing fluorine chemistry, carbene chemistry, C-N bond activation, as well as medicinal chemistry.

Scandium-catalysed intermolecular hydroaminoalkylation of olefins with aliphatic tertiary amines.

Project description:A homoleptic scandium trialkyl complex in combination with a borate compound served as an excellent catalyst for the C-H addition of aliphatic tertiary amines to olefins. This highly regiospecific, 100% atom efficient C-H bond alkylation reaction was applicable to a wide variety of tertiary amines and olefins, including functionalised styrenes and unactivated α-olefins. This work represents the first example of rare-earth catalysed olefin hydroaminoalkylation and also the first example of catalytic C-H addition of aliphatic tertiary amines to olefins with any catalyst.

Oxidative Generation of Boron-Centered Radicals in Carboranes.

Project description:We report the first indirect observation and use of boron vertex-centered carboranyl radicals generated by the oxidation of modified carboranyl precursors. These radical intermediates are formed by the direct oxidation of a B-B bond between a boron cluster cage and an exopolyhedral boron-based substituent (e.g., -BF3K, -B(OH)2). The in situ generated radical species are shown to be competent substrates in reactions with oxygen-based radicals, dichalcogenides, and N-heterocycles, yielding the corresponding substituted carboranes containing B-O, B-S, B-Se, B-Te, and B-C bonds. Remarkably, this chemistry tolerates various electronic environments, providing access to facile substitution chemistry at both electron-rich and electron-poor B-H vertices in carboranes.

Positional Selectivity in C-H Functionalizations of 2-Benzylfurans with Bimetallic Catalysts.

Project description:Metal-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions are a mainstay in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents. A long-standing problem plaguing the field of transition metal catalyzed C-H functionalization chemistry is control of selectivity among inequivalent C-H bonds in organic reactants. Herein we advance an approach to direct site selectivity in the arylation of 2-benzylfurans founded on the idea that modulation of cooperativity in bimetallic catalysts can enable navigation of selectivity. The bimetallic catalysts introduced herein exert a high degree of control, leading to divergent site-selective arylation reactions of both sp(2) and sp(3) C-H bonds of 2-benzylfurans. It is proposed that the selectivity is governed by cation-? interactions, which can be modulated by choice of base and accompanying additives [MN(SiMe3)2, M = K or Li·12-crown-4].

Switchable, Reagent-Controlled Diastereodivergent Photocatalytic Carbocyclisation of Imine-Derived α-Amino Radicals.

Project description:A reagent-controlled stereodivergent carbocyclisation of aryl aldimine-derived, photocatalytically generated, α-amino radicals possessing adjacent conjugated alkenes, affording either bicyclic or tetracyclic products, is described. Under net reductive conditions using commercial Hantzsch ester, the α-amino radical species underwent a single stereoselective cyclisation to give trans-configured amino-indane structures in good yield, whereas using a substituted Hantzsch ester as a milder reductant afforded cis-fused tetracyclic tetrahydroquinoline frameworks, resulting from two consecutive radical cyclisations. Judicious choice of the reaction conditions allowed libraries of both single and dual cyclisation products to be synthesised with high selectivity, notable predictability, and good-to-excellent yields. Computational analysis employing DFT revealed the reaction pathway and mechanistic rationale behind this finely balanced yet readily controlled photocatalytic system.

Reagent-controlled regiodivergent intermolecular cyclization of 2-aminobenzothiazoles with ?-ketoesters and ?-ketoamides.

Project description:Two regiodivergent approaches to intermolecular cyclization of 2-aminobenzothiazoles with ?-ketoesters and amides have been developed, controlled by the reagents employed. With the Brønsted base KOt-Bu and CBrCl3 as radical initiator, benzo[d]imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles are synthesized via attack at the ?-carbon and keto carbon of the ?-ketoester moiety. In contrast, switching to the Lewis acid catalyst, In(OTf)3, results in the regioselective nucleophilic attack at both carbonyl groups forming benzo[4,5]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones instead.
