Nickel-catalyzed cyclization of alkyne-nitriles with organoboronic acids involving anti-carbometalation of alkynes.

ABSTRACT: A nickel-catalyzed regioselective addition/cyclization of o-(cyano)phenyl propargyl ethers with arylboronic acids has been developed, which provides an efficient protocol for the synthesis of highly functionalized 1-naphthylamines with wide structural diversity. The reaction is characterized by a regioselective and anti-addition of the arylboronic acids to the alkyne and subsequent facile nucleophilic addition of the resulting alkenylmetal to the tethered cyano group. Mechanistic studies reveal that a Ni(i) species might be involved in the catalytic process.

Nickel-Catalyzed Thiolation of Aryl Nitriles.

Project description:A nickel-catalyzed thiolation of aryl nitriles has been developed to access functionalized aryl thioethers. The ligand dcype (1,2-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane) as well as the base KOt Bu (potassium tert-butoxide) are essential to achieve this transformation. This scalable and practical process involves both a C-C bond activation and a C-S bond formation. Furthermore, this reaction shows a high functional-group tolerance and enables the late-stage functionalization of important molecules.

Total synthesis of pumiliotoxins 209F and 251D via late-stage, nickel-catalyzed epoxide-alkyne reductive cyclization.

Project description:Pumiliotoxins 209F and 251D were synthesized using highly selective nickel-catalyzed epoxide-alkyne reductive cyclizations as the final step. The exocyclic (Z)-alkene found in the majority of the pumiliotoxins was formed stereospecifically and regioselectively, without the use of a directing group on the alkyne, and the epoxide underwent ring opening exclusively at the less hindered carbon to provide the requisite tertiary alcohol. The epoxides were prepared using diastereoselective addition of a sulfoxonium anion to a proline-derived methyl ketone.

Gold catalyzed cyclization of alkyne-tethered dihydropyrimidones.

Project description:Dihydropyrimidones are an important class of biologically active heterocycles accessible from the multicomponent Biginelli condensation. Further manipulation of the dihydropyrimidone skeleton gives access to unique heterocycles. Presented herein is a Au-catalyzed cyclization of alkyne-tethered dihydropyrimidones to yield pyridopyrimidones.

Nickel-Catalyzed Coupling of Azoles with Aromatic Nitriles.

Project description:This manuscript describes the Ni-catalyzed coupling of azoles with aromatic nitriles. The use of BPh3 promotes these arylations with electronically diverse azoles and benzonitriles. While the nickel catalyst is necessary for the arylations of phenyl oxazoles, arylation of benzoxazoles with some nitriles affords the arylated products even in the absence of the Ni catalyst albeit in lower yield than the catalyzed process. The Ni-catalyzed process exhibits higher rates and a broader scope than the uncatalyzed transformation.

Rh-catalyzed aerobic oxidative cyclization of anilines, alkynes, and CO.

Project description:Transition-metal-catalyzed oxidative C-H cyclization of anilines has been an attractive and powerful strategy for the efficient construction of N-heterocycles. However, primary and tertiary anilines are rarely employed in this strategy due to the relative instability with strong oxidants or the presence of three C-N bonds. We describe here a novel Rh-catalyzed C-H cyclization of a wide range of anilines with alkynes and CO, using an aerobic oxidative protocol. Particularly, the simple primary anilines and readily prepared tertiary anilines could be easily converted to quinolin-2(1H)-ones, which are high value-added, biologically significant N-heterocycles, via C-N bond cleavage.

Relative performance of alkynes in copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition.

Project description:Copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) has found numerous applications in a variety of fields. We report here only modest differences in the reactivity of various classes of terminal alkynes under typical bioconjugative and preparative organic conditions. Propargyl compounds represent an excellent combination of azide reactivity, ease of installation, and cost. Electronically activated propiolamides are slightly more reactive, at the expense of increased propensity for Michael addition. Certain alkynes, including tertiary propargyl carbamates, are not suitable for bioconjugation due to copper-induced fragmentation. A fluorogenic probe based on such reactivity is available in one step from rhodamine 110 and can be useful for optimization of CuAAC conditions.

Nickel-Catalyzed Reductive [2+2] Cycloaddition of Alkynes.

Project description:The nickel-catalyzed synthesis of tetrasubstituted cyclobutenes from alkynes is reported. This transformation is uniquely promoted by the use of a primary aminophosphine, an unusual ligand in nickel catalysis. Mechanistic insights for this new transformation are provided, and postreaction modifications of the cyclobutene products to stereodefined cyclic and acyclic compounds are reported, including the synthesis of epi-truxillic acid.

Nickel-Catalyzed Deaminative Cyanation: Nitriles and One-Carbon Homologation from Alkyl Amines.

Project description:A nickel-catalyzed deaminative cyanation of Katritzky pyridinium salts has been developed. When it is coupled with formation of the pyridinium salt from primary amines, this method enables alkyl amines to be converted to alkyl nitriles. A less toxic cyanide reagent, Zn(CN)2, is utilized, and diverse functional groups and heterocycles are tolerated. The method also enables a one-carbon homologation of alkyl amines via reduction of the nitrile products, in addition to many other potential transformations of the versatile nitrile group.

Nickel-catalyzed reductive arylation of activated alkynes with aryl iodides.

Project description:The direct, regioselective, and stereoselective arylation of activated alkynes with aryl iodides using a nickel catalyst and manganese reductant is described. The reaction conditions are mild (40 °C in MeOH, no acid or base) and an intermediate organomanganese reagent is unlikely. Functional groups tolerated include halides and pseudohalides, free and protected anilines, and a benzyl alcohol. Other activated alkynes including an amide and a ketone also reacted to form arylated products in good yields.

Nickel-Catalyzed Three-Component Cycloadditions of Enoates, Alkynes, and Aldehydes.

Project description:A method for the three-component cycloaddition of enoates, alkynes, and aldehydes has been developed. Building upon previous work by this group in which stoichiometrically generated metallacycles undergo alkylation, we report a catalytic, alkylative [3 + 2] cycloaddition. From simple starting materials, structurally complex cyclopentenones may be rapidly assembled. Computational investigation of the mechanism (ωB97X-D3/cc-pVTZ//ωB97X/6-31G(d)) identified three energetically feasible pathways. Based on the relative rates of ketene formation compared to isomerization to a seven-membered metallacycle, the most likely mechanism has been determined to occur "ketene-first", with carbocyclization prior to aldol addition. Deuterium labeling studies suggest that formation of the seven-membered metallacycle becomes possible when an α-substituted enoate is used. This observed change in selectivity is due to the increased difficulty of phenoxide elimination with the inclusion of additional steric bulk of the α-substituent. The net transformation results in a [3 + 2] cycloaddition accompanied by an alkylation of the enoate substituent.
