Modularity in the C_sp3 Space─Alkyl Germanes as Orthogonal Molecular Handles for Chemoselective Diversification

ACS Catalysis, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 12(9), С. 4833 - 4839

Опубликована: Апрель 8, 2022

To meet the need for a rapid, streamlined, and potentially automatable molecule synthesis, modular coupling approaches are highly desired. While diversification of aromatic molecules, i.e., Csp2 space, has greatly advanced, syntheses in Csp3 space comparably much less developed. This report explores potential alternative functional handles, alkyl germanes, this context, which combine features stability synthesizability with selective reactivity. We show chemoselective functionalization germanes (R-GeEt3) under photoredox conditions (Giese addition) implementation building block, allows Csp3-halogen vs Csp3-Bpin Csp3-GeEt3 sites.

Palladium‐Catalyzed Aryldifluoromethylation of Aryl Halides with Aryldifluoromethyl Trimethylsilanes

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 61(41)

Опубликована: Авг. 12, 2022

Abstract Diaryl difluoromethanes are valuable targets for medicinal chemistry because they bioisosteres of diaryl ethers and can function as replacements methane, ketone, sulfone groups. However, methods to prepare scarce, especially starting from abundant aryl halides. We report the Pd‐catalyzed aryldifluoromethylation halides with aryldifluoromethyl trimethylsilanes (TMSCF 2 Ar). The reaction occurs when catalyst contains a simple, but unusual, dialkylaryl phosphine ligand that promotes transmetallation silane. Computational studies show reductive elimination following low barrier, despite fluorine atoms on α‐carbon, due coordination difluorobenzyl π‐system palladium. co‐development cobalt‐catalyzed synthesis silanes broadened scope process including several applications biologically relevant difluoromethanes.

Electrochemically Driven C4-Selective Decyanoalkylation of Cyanopyridines with Unactivated Alkyl Bromides Enabling C(sp³)–C(sp²) Coupling

Organic Letters, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 25(51), С. 9237 - 9242

Опубликована: Дек. 14, 2023

With cyanopyridines and alkyl bromides as coupling partners, an electrochemically driven C4-selective decyanoalkylation has been established to access diverse 4-alkylpyridines in one step. The reaction proceeds through the single electron reduction/radical–radical tandem process under mild electrolytic conditions, achieving cleavage of C(sp2)–CN bond formation C(sp3)–C(sp2). practicality this protocol is illustrated by no sacrificial anodes, a broad substrate scope, gram-scale synthesis.

Directed evolution has the potential to enable abiological chemistry by engineering natural enzymes function on non-natural substrates. In this study, we expanded repertoire of enzymatic functionalization organosilicon compounds evolving a cytochrome P450 variant for selective amidation organosilanes, resulting in production functionalized α-aminosilanes with remarkable enantioselectivities (up 333 TTN and >99% ee). The evolved enzyme catalyzes nitrene transfer reaction benzylic Si–C–H bonds under aerobic conditions up 125-fold higher yield compared its progenitor, previously unactivated C–H carbon-based molecules.

Because of their robustness and orthogonal reactivity features, alkyl germanes bear significant potential as functional handles for the construction C(sp3)-rich scaffolds, especially in context modular synthetic approaches. However, to date, only radical-based has been accessible from these handles, which limits types possible decorations. Here, we describe first general C(sp3)–heteroatom bond formation (−GeEt3) by leveraging electrochemistry unlock polar reactivity. This approach allowed us couple C(sp3)–GeEt3 with a variety nucleophiles construct ethers, esters, amines, amides, sulfonamides, sulfides, well C–P, C–F, C–C bonds. The compatibility electrochemical strategy C1 motif was also showcased, involving sequential functionalization Cl, Bpin, ultimately GeEt3 via electrochemistry.
