Silver-Free Au(I) Catalysis Enabled by Bifunctional Urea- and Squaramide-Phosphine Ligands via H-Bonding.

ABSTRACT: A library of gold(I) chloride complexes with phosphine ligands incorporating pendant (thio)urea and squaramide H-bond donors was prepared with the aim of promoting chloride abstraction from Au(I) via H-bonding. In the absence of silver additives, complexes bearing squaramides and trifluoromethylated aromatic ureas displayed good catalytic activity in the cyclization of N-propargyl benzamides, as well as in a 1,6-enyne cycloisomerization, a tandem cyclization-indole addition reaction and the hydrohydrazination of phenylacetylene. Kinetic studies and DFT calculations indicate that the energetic span of the reaction is accounted by both the chloride abstraction step, facilitated by the bidentate H-bond donor via an associative mechanism, and the subsequent cyclization step.

Chiral Bifunctional Phosphine Ligand-Enabled Cooperative Cu Catalysis: Formation of Chiral α,β-Butenolides via Highly Enantioselective γ-Protonation.

Project description:α,β-Butenolides with ≥96% enantiomeric excess are synthesized from β,γ-butenolides via a novel Cu(I)-ligand cooperative catalysis. The reaction is enabled by a chiral biphenyl-2-ylphosphine ligand featuring a remote tertiary amino group. Density functional theory studies support the cooperation between the metal center and the ligand basic amino group during the initial soft deprotonation and the key asymmetric γ-protonation. Remarkably, other coinage metals, that is, Ag and Au, can readily assume the same role as Cu in this asymmetric isomerization chemistry.

Dynamic control of chirality in phosphine ligands for enantioselective catalysis.

Project description:Chirality plays a fundamental role in biology and chemistry and the precise control of chirality in a catalytic conversion is a key to modern synthesis most prominently seen in the production of pharmaceuticals. In enantioselective metal-based catalysis, access to each product enantiomer is commonly achieved through ligand design with chiral bisphosphines being widely applied as privileged ligands. Switchable phosphine ligands, in which chirality is modulated through an external trigger signal, might offer attractive possibilities to change enantioselectivity in a catalytic process in a non-invasive manner avoiding renewed ligand synthesis. Here we demonstrate that a photoswitchable chiral bisphosphine based on a unidirectional light-driven molecular motor, can be used to invert the stereoselectivity of a palladium-catalysed asymmetric transformation. It is shown that light-induced changes in geometry and helicity of the switchable ligand enable excellent selectivity towards the racemic or individual enantiomers of the product in a Pd-catalysed desymmetrization reaction.

Supramolecular catalysis with ethers enabled by dual chalcogen bonding activation.

Project description:The activation of ethers by weak interactions is a long-standing objective in supramolecular catalysis, but yet it remains an underdeveloped topic. The obstacles towards solving this problem are prominent since it is difficult for a weak interaction to cleave a relatively strong C-O σ-bond and moreover, the ionic intermediate composing of an alkoxide ion and an electrophilic carbocation would deactivate weak interaction donors. Herein, we describe a distinctive activation mode, dual Se···π and Se···O bonding, that could activate benzylic as well as allylic ether C-O σ-bonds to achieve cyclization, coupling and elimination reactions. This dual Se···π and Se···O bonding catalysis approach could tolerate various alkoxide leaving groups, while the other representative weak interaction donors showed no catalytic activity.

Bifunctional Phosphine-Enabled Regioselective Cycloisomerization of Enynyl Esters En Route to Bicyclo[2.2.1]heptenes.

Project description:Expedient access to bridged enol benzoates is realized via a tandem gold-catalyzed cycloisomerization of enynyl esters and the Diels-Alder reaction. The gold catalysis permits the use of enynyl substrates without additional propargylic substitution and achieves the highly regioselective formation of less stable cyclopentadienyl esters. The regioselectivity is enabled by a bifunctional phosphine ligand, the remote aniline group of which facilitates α-deprotonation of a gold carbene intermediate. The reaction works with different alkene substitution patterns and various dienophiles.

Chemo-selective Stille-type coupling of acyl-chlorides upon phosphine-borane Au(i) catalysis.

Project description:Phosphine-boranes do not promote oxidative addition of acyl chlorides to gold, but the phosphine-borane gold triflimide complex [iPr2P(o-C6H4)BCy2]AuNTf2 was found to catalyze the coupling of acyl chlorides and aryl stannanes. The reaction involves aryl/chloride-bridged dinuclear gold(i) complexes as key intermediates, as substantiated by spectroscopic and crystallographic analyses. Similar to Pd(0)/Pd(ii)-catalyzed Stille coupling with phosphine-borane ligands, the gold-catalyzed variant shows complete chemoselectivity for acyl chlorides over aryl iodides and bromides, enabling straightforward access to halogenated aryl ketones.

Coupling of Reformatsky Reagents with Aryl Chlorides Enabled by Ylide-Functionalized Phosphine Ligands.

Project description:The coupling of aryl chlorides with Reformatsky reagents is a desirable strategy for the construction of α-aryl esters but has so far been substantially limited in the substrate scope due to many challenges posed by various possible side reactions. This limitation has now been overcome by the tailoring of ylide-functionalized phosphines to fit the requirements of Negishi couplings. Record-setting activities were achieved in palladium-catalyzed arylations of organozinc reagents with aryl electrophiles using a cyclohexyl-YPhos ligand bearing an ortho-tolyl-substituent in the backbone. This highly electron-rich, bulky ligand enables the use of aryl chlorides in room temperature couplings of Reformatsky reagents. The reaction scope covers diversely functionalized arylacetic and arylpropionic acid derivatives. Aryl bromides and chlorides can be converted selectively over triflate electrophiles, which permits consecutive coupling strategies.

Parameterization of phosphine ligands demonstrates enhancement of nickel catalysis via remote steric effects.

Project description:The field of Ni-catalysed cross-coupling has seen rapid recent growth because of the low cost of Ni, its earth abundance, and its ability to promote unique cross-coupling reactions. Whereas advances in the related field of Pd-catalysed cross-coupling have been driven by ligand design, the development of ligands specifically for Ni has received minimal attention. Here, we disclose a class of phosphines that enable the Ni-catalysed Csp3 Suzuki coupling of acetals with boronic acids to generate benzylic ethers, a reaction that failed with known ligands for Ni and designer phosphines for Pd. Using parameters to quantify phosphine steric and electronic properties together with regression statistical analysis, we identify a model for ligand success. The study suggests that effective phosphines feature remote steric hindrance, a concept that could guide future ligand design tailored to Ni. Our analysis also reveals that two classic descriptors for ligand steric environment-cone angle and % buried volume-are not equivalent, despite their treatment in the literature.

Bifunctional zeolites-silver catalyst enabled tandem oxidation of formaldehyde at low temperatures.

Project description:Bifunctional catalysts with tandem processes have achieved great success in a wide range of important catalytic processes, however, this concept has hardly been applied in the elimination of volatile organic compounds. Herein, we designed a tandem bifunctional Zeolites-Silver catalyst that enormously boosted formaldehyde oxidation at low temperatures, and formaldehyde conversion increased by 50 times (100% versus 2%) at 70 °C compared to that of monofunctional supported silver catalyst. This is enabled by designing a bifunctional catalyst composed of acidic ZSM-5 zeolite and silver component, which provides two types of active sites with complementary functions. Detached acidic ZSM-5 activates formaldehyde to generate gaseous intermediates of methyl formate, which is more easily oxidized by subsequent silver component. We anticipate that the findings here will open up a new avenue for the development of formaldehyde oxidation technologies, and also provide guidance for designing efficient catalysts in a series of oxidation reactions.

Mechanistic Insights about the Ligand-Enabled Oxy-arylation/vinylation of Alkenes via Au(I)/Au(III) Catalysis.

Project description:The mechanism of oxy-arylation/vinylation of alkenes catalyzed by the (MeDalphos)AuCl complex was comprehensively investigated by DFT. (P,N)Au(Ph)2+ and (P,N)Au(vinyl)2+ are key intermediates accounting for the activation of the alkenols and for their cyclization by outer-sphere nucleophilic attack of oxygen. The 5-exo and 6-endo paths have been computed and compared, reproducing the peculiar regioselectivity difference observed experimentally between 4-penten-1-ol, (E) and (Z)-4-hexen-1-ols. Examining the way the alkenol coordinates to gold (more η2 or η1 ) can offer, in some cases, a simple way to predict the favored path of cyclization.

Thermal Growth of Au-Fe Heterometallic Carbonyl Clusters Containing N-Heterocyclic Carbene and Phosphine Ligands.

Project description:The thermal reactions of [NEt4][Fe(CO)4(AuNHC)] [NHC = IMes ([NEt4][1]) or IPr ([NEt4][2]); IMes = C3N2H2(C6H2Me3)2; IPr = C3N2H2(C6H3iPr2)2], Fe(CO)4(AuNHC)2 [NHC = IMes (3) or IPr (4)], Fe(CO)4(AuIMes)(AuIPr) (5), and Fe(CO)4(AuNHC)(AuPPh3) [NHC = IMes (6) or IPr (7)] were investigated in different solvents [CH2Cl2, CH3CN, dimethylformamide, and dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso)] and at different temperatures (50-160 °C) in an attempt to obtain higher-nuclearity clusters. 1 and 2 completely decomposed in refluxing CH2Cl2, resulting in [Fe2(CO)8(AuNHC)]- [NHC = IMes (10) or IPr (11)]. Traces of [Fe3(CO)10(CCH3)]- (12) were obtained as a side product. Conversely, 6 decomposed in refluxing CH3CN, affording the new cluster [Au3{Fe(CO)4}2(PPh3)2]- (15). The relative stability of the two isomers found in the solid state structure of 15 was computationally investigated. 4 was very stable, and only after prolonged heating above 150 °C in dmso was limited decomposition observed, affording small amounts of [Fe3S(CO)9]2- (9), [HFe(CO)4]- (16), and [Au16S{Fe(CO)4}4(IPr)4]n+ (17). A dicationic nature for 17 was proposed on the basis of density functional theory calculations. All of the other reactions examined led to species that were previously reported. The molecular structures of the new clusters 11, 12, 15, and 17 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction as their [NEt4][11]·1.5toluene, [Au(IMes)2][15]·0.67CH2Cl2, [NEt4][12], and [17][BF4]n·solvent salts, respectively.
