Assembly of Tetrahydroquinolines and 2-Benzazepines by Pd-Catalyzed Cycloadditions Involving the Activation of C(sp³)-H Bonds.

ABSTRACT: Cycloaddition reactions are among the most practical strategies to assemble cyclic products; however, they usually require the presence of reactive functional groups in the reactants. Here, we report a palladium-catalyzed formal (4 + 2) cycloaddition that involves the activation of C(sp³)-H bonds and provides a direct, unconventional entry to tetrahydroquinoline skeletons. The reaction utilizes amidotolyl precursors and allenes as annulation partners, and is catalyzed by Pd(II) precursors in combination with specific N-acetylated amino acid ligands. The reactivity can be extended to ortho-methyl benzylamides, which provide for the assembly of appealing tetrahydro-2-benzazepines in a formal (5 + 2) annulation process.

Ligand-Enabled Pd(II)-Catalyzed Bromination and Iodination of C(sp3)-H Bonds.

Project description:We herein report the palladium(II)-catalyzed bromination and iodination of a variety of α-hydrogen-containing carboxylic acid and amino acid-derived amides. These reactions are exclusively enabled by quinoline-type ligands. The halogenated products obtained in this reaction are highly versatile and rapidly undergo further diversification. Further, we report the first example of a free carboxylic acid-directed Pd(II)-catalyzed C(sp3)-H bromination, enabled by quinoline ligands.

Mechanistic study of enantioselective Pd-catalyzed C(sp3)-H activation of thioethers involving two distinct stereomodels.

Project description:Enantioselective C(sp3)-H activation has gained considerable attention from the synthetic chemistry community. Despite the intense interest in these reactions, the mechanisms responsible for enantioselection are still vague. In the course of the development of aryl thioether-directed C(sp3)-H arylation, we noticed extreme variation in sensitivity of two substrate classes to substituent effects of ligands and directing groups: whereas 3-pentyl sulfides (prochiral α-center) responded positively to substitution on ligands and directing groups, isobutyl sulfides (prochiral β-center) were entirely insensitive. Quantitative structure selectivity relationship (QSSR) analyses of directing group and ligand substitution and the development of a new class of mono-N-acetyl protected amino anilamide (MPAAn) ligands led to high enantiomeric ratios (up to 99:1) for thioether-directed C(sp3)-H arylation. Key to the realization of this method was the exploitation of transient chirality at sulfur, which relays stereochemical information from the ligand backbone to enantiotopic carbons of the substrate in a rate- and enantio-determining cyclometallation deprotonation. The absolute stereochemistry of the products for these two substrates were revealed to be opposite. DFT evaluation of all possible diastereomeric transition states confirmed initial premises that guided rational ligand and directing group design. The implications of this study will assist in the further development of enantioselective C(sp3)-H activation, namely by highlighting the non-innocence of directing groups, distal steric influences, and the delicate interplay between steric Pauli repulsion and London dispersion in enantioinduction.

Cobalt catalyzed carbonylation of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds.

Project description:A general efficient regioselective cobalt catalyzed carbonylation of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds of aliphatic amides was demonstrated using atmospheric (1-2 atm) carbon monoxide as a C1 source. This straightforward approach provides access to α-spiral succinimide regioselectively in a good yield. Cobalt catalyzed sp3 C-H bond carbonylation is reported for the first time including the functionalization of (β)-C-H bonds of α-1°, 2°, 3° carbons and even internal (β)-C-H bonds. Our initial mechanistic investigation reveals that the C-H activation step is irreversible and will possibly be the rate determining step.

Multicomponent double Mannich alkylamination involving C(sp2)-H and benzylic C(sp3)-H bonds.

Project description:Alkylamines are ubiquitous in pharmaceuticals, materials and agrochemicals. The Mannich reaction is a well-known three-component reaction for preparing alkylamines and has been widely used in academic research and industry. However, the nucleophilic components in this process rely on C(sp2)-H and activated C(sp3)-H bonds while the unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds involved Mannich alkylamination is a long-standing challenge. Here, we report an unprecedented multicomponent double Mannich alkylamination for both C(sp2)-H and unactivated benzylic C(sp3)-H bonds. In this process, various 3-alkylbenzofurans, formaldehyde and alkylamine hydrochlorides assemble efficiently to furnish benzofuran-fused piperidines. Mechanistic studies and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed a distinctive pathway that a multiple Mannich reaction and retro-Mannich reaction of benzofuran and dehydrogenation of benzylic C(sp3)-H bonds were key steps to constitute the alkylamination. This protocol furnishes a Mannich alkylamine synthesis from unusual C-H inputs to access benzofuran-fused piperidines with exceptional structural diversity, molecular complexity and drug-likeness. Therefore, this work opens a distinctive vision for the alkylamination of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds, and provides a powerful tool in diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) and drug discovery.

Bi-Catalyzed Trifluoromethylation of C(sp2)-H Bonds under Light.

Project description:We disclose a Bi-catalyzed C-H trifluoromethylation of (hetero)arenes using CF3SO2Cl under light irradiation. The catalytic method permits the direct functionalization of various heterocycles bearing distinct functional groups. The structural and computational studies suggest that the process occurs through an open-shell redox manifold at bismuth, comprising three unusual elementary steps for a main group element. The catalytic cycle starts with rapid oxidative addition of CF3SO2Cl to a low-valent Bi(I) catalyst, followed by a light-induced homolysis of Bi(III)-O bond to generate a trifluoromethyl radical upon extrusion of SO2, and is closed with a hydrogen-atom transfer to a Bi(II) radical intermediate.

Rhodium(II)-catalyzed multicomponent assembly of α,α,α-trisubstituted esters via formal insertion of O-C(sp3)-C(sp2) into C-C bonds.

Project description:The direct cleavage of C(CO)-C single bonds, delivering otherwise inaccessible compounds, is a significant challenge. Although the transition metal-catalyzed insertion of functional groups into C(CO)-C bonds has been studied, strained ketone substrates or chelating assistance were commonly required. In this article, we describe a rhodium(II)-catalyzed three-component reaction of 1,3-diones, diazoesters, and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), leading to an unusual formal insertion of O-C(sp3)-C(sp2) into unstrained C(CO)-C bonds. This procedure provides a rapid entry to a gamut of otherwise inaccessible α,α,α-trisubstituted esters/amide from relatively simple substrates in a straightforward manner. 55 examples of highly decorated products demonstrate the broad functional group tolerance and substrate scope. The combination of control experiments and isotope-labeling reactions support that O, C(sp3), and C(sp2) units derive from 1,3-diones, diazoesters, and DMF, respectively.

Pd-catalyzed sp-sp3 cross-coupling of benzyl bromides using lithium acetylides.

Project description:Organolithium-based cross-coupling reactions have emerged as an indispensable method to construct C-C bonds. These transformations have proven particularly useful for the direct and fast coupling of various organolithium reagents (sp, sp2, and sp3) with aromatic (pseudo) halides (sp2). Here we present an efficient method for the cross-coupling of benzyl bromides (sp3) with lithium acetylides (sp). The reaction proceeds within 10 min at room temperature and can be performed in the presence of organolithium-sensitive functional groups such as esters, nitriles, amides and boronic esters. The potential application of the methodology is demonstrated in the preparation of key intermediates used in pharmaceuticals, chemical biology and natural products.
