Mechanisms of C(sp³)-H Functionalization of Acetonitrile or Acetone with Alkynes: A DFT Investigation

Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Фев. 6, 2025

The mechanisms for the C(sp3)-H activation and addition reactions between acetonitrile (or acetone) alkynes have been investigated with M06-2X-D3/ma-def2-TZVP method basis set. SMD (solvation model based on solute electron density) was applied to simulate solvent effect. In first second reactions, 2-phenylbut-3-yn-2-ol reacted acetone, respectively. First, activations of acetone could be achieved by PhCOO• t-BuO• radicals. Then, converted into final products P1 P2. Gibbs free energy surfaces these two suggest that blue lines would favorable paths lower barriers, terminal C atom C≡C bond is best reactive site. Moreover, analysis IRI (Interaction Region Indicator) reveals Z- E-configuration transformations. While in third fourth methyl(2-(phenylethynyl)phenyl)sulfane has interactions via some paths, profiles show C10 atom, rather than C11 priority, are favorable. Furthermore, action mode Na2HPO4 reduce barrier benefit reaction. vdW (van der Waals) play an important role choice fifth sixth) reaction, it happened 1-(2-(methylthio)phenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-yn-1-one acetontrile yield product P5 P6). computational results uncovered line path, site depends interactions, which origin selectivity. addition, investigation byproducts carried out, can explain reason only main produced. Both those agree experimental results. localized orbital locator (LOL) isosurfaces, Laplacian order (LBO), density critical point (ρBCP), spin isosurface graphs, graphs used analyze structure reveal reaction substances.

Abstract Within the past decades, potential of transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions using carboxylic acids as coupling partners has been subjected to extensive exploitation because natural abundance, ready availability, nontoxicity, stability, structural diversity, and low cost acids. Notably, recent years have witnessed intense research interest in combination decarbonylation with direct C–H bond functionalization presence transition-metal catalysts for formation various C–C bonds release CO. The approach presents a powerful alternative existing repertoire via formation. In this Account, we highlight our achievements development decarbonylative under catalysis. 1 Introduction 2 Arylation Aryl Carboxylic Acids 3 Alkenylation Alkenyl 4 Alkylation Alkyl 5 Conclusion Outlook

Iron‐Catalyzed Deoxynitrogenation of Carboxylic Acids with Cyanamides to Access Nitriles

Chemistry - A European Journal, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 29(31)

Опубликована: Март 16, 2023

Efficient strategies to access nitriles from common organic functionalities are highly important, given their significance in synthetic and medicinal chemistry. Although the direct transformation of carboxylic acids have been explored for decades, there is few general practical protocol acid precursors. Herein, an iron-catalyzed deoxynitrogenaton strategy convert into described. This method utilizes a cyanamide as recyclable nitrogen donor deoxygenating reagent, operates broadly across aryl, alkenyl, alkyl acids, features easy setup without inert gas protection. The value this demonstrated by application late-stage modification drug molecules, synthesis pharmaceutical structure, scaleup reactions downstream derivatizations.
