Palladium (II)‐Catalyzed C−H Activation with Bifunctional Ligands: From Curiosity to Industrialization

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 63(19)

Опубликована: Фев. 29, 2024

Abstract In 2001, our curiosity to understand the stereochemistry of C−H metalation with Pd prompted first studies in Pd(II)‐catalyzed asymmetric activation (RSC Research appointment: 020 7451 2545, Grant: RG 36873, Dec. 2002). We identified four central challenges: 1. poor reactivity simple salts native substrates; 2. few strategies control site selectivity for remote bonds; 3. lack chiral catalysts achieve enantioselectivity via metalation, and 4. low practicality due limited coupling partner scope use specialized oxidants. These challenges necessitated new catalyst reaction development. For , we developed approaches enhance substrate–catalyst affinity together novel bifunctional ligands which participate accelerate cleavage step. site‐selectivity introduced concept systematically modulating distance geometry between a directing template, catalyst, substrate selectively access bonds. devised predictable stereomodels catalyst‐controlled enantioselective based on participation ligands. Finally, have varied catalytic manifolds Pd(II) accommodate diverse partners while employing practical oxidants such as peroxides. advances culminated numerous reactions, setting stage broad industrial applications.

Photo‐Induced Ruthenium‐Catalyzed Double Remote C(sp²)−H / C(sp³)−H Functionalizations by Radical Relay

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 61(32)

Опубликована: Май 9, 2022

Distal C(sp2 )-H and C(sp3 functionalizations have recently emerged as step-economical tools for molecular synthesis. However, while the )-C(sp3 ) construction is of fundamental importance, its formation through double remote )-H/C(sp3 activation has proven elusive. By merging ruthenium-catalyzed meta-C(sp2 functionalization with an aliphatic hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) process, we, herein, describe catalyzed twofold via photo-induced ruthenium-mediated radical relay. Thus, arene bonds alkane were activated by a single catalyst in operation. This process was accomplished at room temperature visible light-notably without exogenous photocatalysts. Experimental computational theory studies uncovered manifold comprising ortho-C-H activation, single-electron-transfer (SET), 1,n-HAT (n=5-7) σ-activation means ruthenium(II) catalyst.

Functionalized Cycloolefin Ligand as a Solution to Ortho-Constraint in the Catellani-Type Reaction

Journal of the American Chemical Society, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 145(8), С. 4871 - 4881

Опубликована: Фев. 16, 2023

The Catellani reaction, i.e., the Pd/norbornene (NBE) catalysis, has been evolved into a versatile approach to multisubstituted arenes via ortho-functionalization/ipso-termination process of haloarene. Despite significant advances over past 25 years, this reaction still suffered from an intrinsic limitation in substitution pattern haloarene, referred as "ortho-constraint". When ortho substituent is absent, substrate often fails undergo effective mono ortho-functionalization process, and either ortho-difunctionalization products or NBE-embedded byproducts predominate. To tackle challenge, structurally modified NBEs (smNBEs) have developed, which were proved for ortho-aminative, -acylative, -arylative reactions ortho-unsubstituted haloarenes. However, strategy incompetent solving ortho-constraint with ortho-alkylation, date there lacks general solution challenging but synthetically useful transformation. Recently, our group developed Pd/olefin unstrained cycloolefin ligand served covalent catalytic module enable ortho-alkylative without NBE. In work, we show that chemistry could afford new reaction. A functionalized bearing amide internal base was designed, allowed iodoarenes suffering before. Mechanistic study revealed capable both accelerating C-H activation inhibiting side reactions, accounts its superior performance. present work showcased uniqueness catalysis well power rational design metal catalysis.

Biocatalytic C-H activation has the potential to merge enzymatic and synthetic strategies for bond formation. FeII/αKG-dependent halogenases are particularly distinguished their ability both control selective as well direct group transfer of a bound anion along reaction axis separate from oxygen rebound, enabling development new transformations. In this context, we elucidate basis selectivity enzymes that perform halogenation yield 4-Cl-lysine (BesD), 5-Cl-lysine (HalB), 4-Cl-ornithine (HalD), allowing us probe how site-selectivity chain length achieved. We now report crystal structure HalB HalD, revealing key role substrate-binding lid in positioning substrate C4 vs C5 chlorination recognition lysine ornithine. Targeted engineering further demonstrates these selectivities can be altered or switched, showcasing develop biocatalytic applications.

Close‐Shell Reductive Elimination versus Open‐Shell Radical Coupling for Site‐Selective Ruthenium‐Catalyzed C−H Activations by Computation and Experiments

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 62(22)

Опубликована: Фев. 27, 2023

Ruthenium-catalyzed σ-bond activation-assisted meta-C-H functionalization has emerged as a useful tool to forge distal C-C bonds. However, given the limited number of mechanistic studies, clear understanding origin site-selectivity and complete reaction pattern is not available. Here, we present systematic computational studies on ruthenium-catalyzed C-H with primary, secondary, tertiary alkyl bromides aryl bromides. The scission formation were carefully examined. Monocyclometalated ruthenium(II) complexes identified active species, which then underwent inner-sphere single electron transfer (ISET) activate organic results from competition between close-shell reductive elimination open-shell radical coupling. Based this understanding, multilinear regression model was built predict site-selectivity, further validated by experiments.
