Synergistic use of electrochemistry and organometallic catalysis has emerged as a powerful tool for site-selective C–H functionalization, yet this type transformation thus far mainly been limited to arene functionalization. Herein, we report the development electrochemical vinylic functionalization acrylic acids with alkynes. In reaction an iridium catalyst enables C–H/O–H alkyne annulation, affording α-pyrones good excellent yields in undivided cell. Preliminary mechanistic studies show that anodic oxidation is crucial releasing product regeneration Ir(III) intermediate from diene-Ir(I) complex, which coordinatively saturated, 18-electron complex. Importantly, common chemical oxidants such Ag(I) or Cu(II) did not give significant amounts desired absence electrical current under otherwise identical conditions.

Ruthenium-Catalyzed Enantioselective C–H Functionalization: A Practical Access to Optically Active Indoline Derivatives

Journal of the American Chemical Society, Год журнала: 2019, Номер 141(40), С. 15730 - 15736

Опубликована: Сен. 19, 2019

Ru(II)-catalyzed enantioselective C–H activation/hydroarylation has been developed for the first time, allowing highly synthesis of indoline derivatives via catalytic activation. Commercially available Ru(II) arene complexes and chiral α-methylamines were employed as catalysts. Based on a sterically rigidified transient directing group, multisubstituted indolines produced in up to 92% yield with 96% ee. Further transformation resulting 4-formylindoline enables access an optically active tricyclic compound that is potential biological pharmaceutical interest.

Abstract Polycycles are abundantly present in numerous advanced chemicals, functional materials, bioactive molecules and natural products. However, the strategies for synthesis of polycycles limited to classical reactions transition metal‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions, requiring pre‐functionalized starting materials lengthy synthetic operations. The emergence novel approaches shows great promise fields organic/medicinal/materials chemistry. Among them, C−H activation followed by intermolecular annulation prevail, due their straightforward manner with high atom‐ step‐economy, providing rapid, concise efficient methods construction diverse polycycles. Several have been developed polycycles, relying on sequential multiple activation/annulation, or combination activation/annulation further interaction a proximal group, merger cycloaddition reaction, situ formation directing group. These attractive, efficient, step‐ atom‐economic from commercially available materials. This Minireview will provide an introduction helping researchers discover indirect connections reveal hidden opportunities. It also promote discovery activation.

Metal carbenes play a pivotal role in transition-metal-catalyzed synthetic transfer reactions. The metal carbene is generated either from diazo compound through facile extrusion of N2 with catalyst or situ other sources like triazoles, pyriodotriazoles, sulfoxonium ylides and iodonium-ylide.

α-Pyridones and α-pyrones are ubiquitous structural motifs found in natural products biologically active small molecules. Here, we report an Rh-catalyzed electrochemical vinylic C-H annulation of acrylamides with alkynes, affording cyclic good to excellent yield. Divergent syntheses α-pyridones imidates accomplished by employing N-phenyl N-tosyl as substrates, respectively. Additionally, regioselectivities achieved when using unsymmetrical alkynes. This process is environmentally benign compared traditional transition metal-catalyzed annulations because it avoids the use stoichiometric metal oxidants. DFT calculations elucidated reaction mechanism origins substituent-controlled chemoselectivity. The sequential activation alkyne insertion under rhodium catalysis leads seven-membered ring vinyl-rhodium intermediate. intermediate undergoes either classic neutral concerted reductive elimination produce α-pyridones, or ionic stepwise pathway imidates.
