Halogen Atom Participation in Guiding the Stereochemical Outcomes of Acetal Substitution Reactions.

ABSTRACT: Acetal substitution reactions of α-halogenated five- and six-membered rings can be highly stereoselective. Erosion of stereoselectivity occurs as nucleophilicity increases, which is consistent with additions to a halogen-stabilized oxocarbenium ion, not a three-membered-ring halonium ion. Computational investigations confirmed that the open-form oxocarbenium ions are the reactive intermediates involved. Kinetic studies suggest that hyperconjugative effects and through-space electrostatic interactions can both contribute to the stabilization of halogen-substituted oxocarbenium ions.

Neighboring-Group Participation by C-2 Acyloxy Groups: Influence of the Nucleophile and Acyl Group on the Stereochemical Outcome of Acetal Substitution Reactions.

Project description:A single acyloxy group at C-2 can control the outcome of nucleophilic substitution reactions of pyran-derived acetals, but the extent of the neighboring-group participation depends on a number of factors. We show here that neighboring-group participation does not necessarily control the stereochemical outcome of acetal substitution reactions with weak nucleophiles. The 1,2-trans selectivity increased with increasing reactivity of the incoming nucleophile. This trend suggests the intermediacy of both cis-fused dioxolenium ions and oxocarbenium ions in the stereochemistry-determining step. In addition, as the electron-donating ability of the neighboring group decreased, the preference for the 1,2-trans products increased. Computational studies show how the barriers for the ring-opening reaction on the dioxolenium ions and the transition states to provide the oxocarbenium ions change with the electron-donating capacity of the C-2-acyloxy group and the reactivity of the nucleophile.

Photo-Induced Halogen-Atom Transfer: Generation of Halide Radicals for Selective Hydrohalogenation Reactions.

Project description:The first photo-mediated process enabling the generation of halide radicals by Halogen-Atom Transfer (XAT) is described. Contrary to radical transformations involving XAT reactivity, which exploit stable carbon radicals, this unique approach uses 1,2-dihaloethanes for the generation of unstable carbon radicals by XAT. These transient radicals then undergo β-scission with release of ethylene and formation of more stable halide radicals which have been used in selective hydrohalogenations of a large number of unsaturated hydrocarbons, including Michael acceptors, unactivated alkenes and alkynes. This hydrohalogenation is tolerant of a broad range of functionalities and is believed to proceed through a radical-chain manifold that propagates by the use of silane derivatives.

Stereochemical outcomes of C-F activation reactions of benzyl fluoride.

Project description:In recent years, the highly polar C-F bond has been utilised in activation chemistry despite its low reactivity to traditional nucleophiles, when compared to other C-X halogen bonds. Paquin's group has reported extensive studies on the C-F activation of benzylic fluorides for nucleophilic substitutions and Friedel-Crafts reactions, using a range of hydrogen bond donors such as water, triols or hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) as the activators. This study examines the stereointegrity of the C-F activation reaction through the use of an enantiopure isotopomer of benzyl fluoride to identify whether the reaction conditions favour a dissociative (SN1) or associative (SN2) pathway. [2H]-Isotopomer ratios in the reactions were assayed using the Courtieu 2H NMR method in a chiral liquid crystal (poly-γ-benzyl-L-glutamate) matrix and demonstrated that both associative and dissociative pathways operate to varying degrees, according to the nature of the nucleophile and the hydrogen bond donor.

Using Neighboring-Group Participation for Acyclic Stereocontrol in Diastereoselective Substitution Reactions of Acetals.

Project description:Neighboring-group participation of an ester enabled stereocontrol in substitution reactions of acyclic acetals. The ester group formed a trans-fused dioxolenium ion intermediate, which underwent a substitution reaction at the acetal carbon atom to afford the product with high diastereoselectivity. Neighboring-group participation was confirmed by isolating dioxolane products resulting from nucleophilic addition at C-2 of a 1,3-dioxolenium ion intermediate. Using a pivaloate ester as the participating group in combination with strong nucleophiles produced substitution products with diastereoselectivities of ≥90:10.

Diastereoselective Substitution Reactions of Acyclic Acetals Controlled by Remote Participation of an Acyloxy Group.

Project description:A remote carbonyl group up to six atoms away from the acetal group can induce 1,2-asymmetric induction in nucleophilic substitution reactions of acyclic acetals. Isolation of a cyclic carbonate under Lewis acidic conditions and computational studies suggested that the remote carbonyl group participated through the formation of a cyclic dioxocarbenium ion intermediate. The stereochemical outcomes depended on the size of the alkyl substituent and that of the nucleophile employed.

Sustainable Photoinduced Decarboxylative Chlorination Mediated by Halogen Atom Transfer.

Project description:Chlorinated organic backbones constitute important components in existing biologically active chemicals, and they are extraordinary useful intermediates in organic synthesis. Herein, an operationally simple and sustainable halodecarboxylation protocol via halogen-atom transfer (XAT) as a key step is presented. The method merges a metal-free photoredox system with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene (PIDA) as a hypervalent iodine reagent using 1,2-dihaloethanes as halogen sources to afford haloalkanes in an efficient manner. The sustainability of this protocol is highlighted by an important waste recovery protocol as well as by atom economy and carbon efficiency parameters.

Catalytic defluorinative ketyl-olefin coupling by halogen-atom transfer.

Project description:Ketyl-olefin coupling reactions stand as one of the fundamental chemical transformations in synthetic chemistry and have been widely employed in the generation of complex molecular architectures and natural product synthesis. However, catalytic ketyl-olefin coupling, until the recent development of photoredox chemistry and electrosynthesis through single-electron transfer mechanisms, has remained largely undeveloped. Herein, we describe a new approach to achieve catalytic ketyl-olefin coupling reactions by a halogen-atom transfer mechanism, which provides innovative and efficient access to various gem-difluorohomoallylic alcohols under mild conditions with broad substrate scope. Preliminary mechanistic experimental and computational studies demonstrate that this radical-to-polar crossover transformation could be achieved by sequentially orchestrated Lewis acid activation, halogen-atom transfer, radical addition, single-electron reduction and β-fluoro elimination.

Photoredox Polyfluoroarylation of Alkyl Halides via Halogen Atom Transfer.

Project description:Polyfluoroarene moieties are of interest in medicinal chemistry, agrochemicals, and material sciences. Herein, we present the first polyfluoroarylation of unactivated alkyl halides via a halogen atom transfer process. This method converts primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl halides into the respective polyfluoroaryl compounds in good yields in the presence of amide, carbamate, ester, aromatic, and sulfonamide moieties, including derivatives of complex bioactive molecules. Mechanistic work revealed that this transformation proceeds through an alkyl radical generated after the halogen atom transfer.

Photoredox Catalyzed Dealkylative Aromatic Halogen Substitution with Tertiary Amines.

Project description:A reaction of aromatic halides bearing electron-withdrawing groups with tertiary amines in the presence of an iridium catalyst under blue light irradiation is described. Products of the aromatic substitution of the halide by the dialkylamino fragment are obtained. The interaction of aryl radicals with tertiary amines to generate zwitterionic radical species is believed to be the key factor responsible for the reaction efficiency.

Guiding conformation space search with an all-atom energy potential.

Project description:The most significant impediment for protein structure prediction is the inadequacy of conformation space search. Conformation space is too large and the energy landscape too rugged for existing search methods to consistently find near-optimal minima. To alleviate this problem, we present model-based search, a novel conformation space search method. Model-based search uses highly accurate information obtained during search to build an approximate, partial model of the energy landscape. Model-based search aggregates information in the model as it progresses, and in turn uses this information to guide exploration toward regions most likely to contain a near-optimal minimum. We validate our method by predicting the structure of 32 proteins, ranging in length from 49 to 213 amino acids. Our results demonstrate that model-based search is more effective at finding low-energy conformations in high-dimensional conformation spaces than existing search methods. The reduction in energy translates into structure predictions of increased accuracy.
