Опубликована: Окт. 27, 2022

Synthesis of bicyclic scaffolds has attracted growing interest because they are high importance in modern pharmaceutical development. Here we report a strategy to access polysubstituted 2-oxabicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes single operation from readily accessible benzoylformate esters and bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes via visible-light-induced triplet energy transfer catalysis. The process is proposed involve formal [2π + 2σ] photocycloaddition/backbone C-H abstraction/aryl group migration sequence. A diverse range (hetero)aryl groups successfully underwent the backbone (C2) position provide previously inaccessible molecules, ester product can serve as handle for downstream manipulation, thus offering opportunities rapidly build up molecular complexity new sp3-rich chemical space.

Transition-metal-catalyzed C–H bond alkylation using olefins: recent advances and mechanistic aspects

Chemical Society Reviews, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 51(17), С. 7358 - 7426

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2022

Transition metal catalysis has contributed immensely to C-C bond formation reactions over the last few decades, and alkylation is no exception. The superiority of such methodologies traditional evident from minimal reaction steps, shorter times, atom economy while also allowing control regio- stereo-selectivity. In particular, hydrocarbonation alkenes grabbed increased attention due its fundamental ability effectively selectively synthesise a wide range industrially pharmaceutically relevant moieties. This review attempts provide scientific viewpoint systematic analysis recent developments in transition-metal-catalyzed various C-H bonds using simple activated olefins. key features mechanistic studies involved these transformations are described briefly.

The intermediacy of alkoxy radicals in cerium-catalyzed C–H functionalization via H-atom abstraction has been unambiguously confirmed. Catalytically relevant Ce(IV)–alkoxide complexes have synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Operando electron paramagnetic resonance transient absorption spectroscopy experiments on isolated pentachloro Ce(IV) alkoxides identified as the sole heteroatom-centered radical species generated ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) excitation. Alkoxy-radical-mediated hydrogen atom (HAT) verified kinetic analysis, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, reactions under strictly chloride-free conditions. These experimental findings establish critical role Ce-LMCT catalysis definitively preclude involvement chlorine radical. This study also reinforced necessity a high relative ratio alcohol vs Ce for selective alkoxy-radical-mediated HAT, seemingly trivial changes can lead to drastically different mechanistic pathways. Importantly, previously proposed radical–alcohol complex, postulated explain alkoxy-radical-enabled selectivities this system, examined scrutiny ruled out regioselectivity studies, experiments, high-level calculations. Moreover, peculiar selectivity generation LMCT homolysis heteroleptic analyzed back-electron (BET) may regulated efficiency formation ligand-centered radicals.

Site- and enantioselective cross-coupling of saturated N-heterocycles with carboxylic acids by cooperative Ni/photoredox catalysis

Nature Communications, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 14(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 9, 2023

Abstract Site- and enantioselective cross-coupling of saturated N -heterocycles carboxylic acids—two the most abundant versatile functionalities—to form pharmaceutically relevant α-acylated amine derivatives remains a major challenge in organic synthesis. Here, we report general strategy for highly site- α-acylation with situ-activated acids. This modular approach exploits hydrogen-atom-transfer reactivity photocatalytically generated chlorine radicals combination asymmetric nickel catalysis to selectively functionalize cyclic α-amino C−H bonds presence benzylic, allylic, acyclic α-amino, α-oxy methylene groups. The mild scalable protocol requires no organometallic reagents, displays excellent chemo-, enantioselectivity, is amenable late-stage diversification, including synthesis previously inaccessible Taxol derivatives. Mechanistic studies highlight exceptional versatility chiral catalyst orchestrating (i) catalytic elimination, (ii) alkyl radical capture, (iii) cross-coupling, (iv) induction.

Formaldehyde-Mediated Hydride Liberation of Alkylamines for Intermolecular Reactions in Hexafluoroisopropanol

Journal of the American Chemical Society, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 146(9), С. 5952 - 5963

Опубликована: Фев. 26, 2024

The ability of alkylamines to spontaneously liberate hydride ions is typically restrained, except under specific intramolecular reaction settings. Herein, we demonstrate that this reactivity can be unlocked through simple treatment with formaldehyde in hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) solvent, thereby enabling various intermolecular transfer reactions mild conditions. Besides transformations small molecules, these enable unique late-stage modification complex peptides. Mechanistic investigations uncover the key processes lies accommodating conformation solvent-mediated macrocyclic transition states, where aggregates HFIP molecules act as dexterous proton shuttles. Importantly, negative hyperconjugation between lone electron pair nitrogen and antibonding orbital amine's α C-H bond plays a critical role activation, promoting its liberation.
