Regiospecific Alkene Aminofunctionalization via an Electrogenerated Dielectrophile

Journal of the American Chemical Society, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 145(15), P. 8299 - 8307

Published: April 6, 2023

Modular strategies to rapidly increase molecular complexity have proven immensely synthetically valuable. In principle, transformation of an alkene into a dielectrophile presents opportunity deliver two unique nucleophiles across alkene. Unfortunately, the selectivity profiles known dielectrophiles largely precluded this deceptively simple synthetic approach. Herein, we demonstrate that dicationic adducts generated through electrolysis alkenes and thianthrene possess profile relative more conventional dielectrophiles. Specifically, these species undergo single perfectly regioselective substitution reaction with phthalimide salts. This observation unlocks appealing new platform for aminofunctionalization reactions. As illustrative example, implement reactivity paradigm address longstanding challenge: diamination distinct nitrogen nucleophiles. Studies mechanism process reveal key alkenyl thianthrenium salt intermediate controls exquisite regioselectivity highlight importance proton sources in controlling sulfonium electrophiles.

Oxidative alkene functionalization reactions are a fundamental class of complexity-building organic transformations. However, the majority established approaches rely on electrophilic reagents that limit diversity groups can be installed. Recent advances have new approach instead relies transformation alkenes into thianthrene-derived cationic electrophiles.
