Nontraditional Fragment Couplings of Alcohols and Carboxylic Acids: C(sp³)–C(sp³) Cross-Coupling via Radical Sorting

Journal of the American Chemical Society, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 144(14), С. 6185 - 6192

Опубликована: Март 30, 2022

Alcohols and carboxylic acids are among the most commercially abundant, synthetically versatile, operationally convenient functional groups in organic chemistry. Under visible light photoredox catalysis, these native synthetic handles readily undergo radical activation, resulting open-shell intermediates can subsequently participate transition metal catalysis. In this report, we describe C(sp3)–C(sp3) cross-coupling of alcohols through dual combination N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-mediated deoxygenation hypervalent iodine-mediated decarboxylation. This mild practical Ni-catalyzed radical-coupling protocol was employed to prepare a wide array alkyl–alkyl cross-coupled products, including highly congested quaternary carbon centers from corresponding tertiary or acids. We demonstrate applications methodology alcohol C1-alkylation formal homologation, as well late-stage functionalization drugs, natural biomolecules.

Catalytic hydrogen atom transfer from metal-hydrides to alkenes allows feedstock olefins be used as alkyl radical precursors. The chemoselectivity of this process makes it an attractive synthetic tool and such has been regularly in synthesis complex molecules. However, onwards reactivity is limited by compatibility with the conditions which form key metal-hydride species. Now, through merger photocatalysis or electrochemistry, milder methods are emerging can unlock entirely new offer perspectives on expanding these unprecedented directions. This review outlines most recent developments electro- photochemical cobalt catalysed offers suggestions future outlook.

Quaternary carbons are ubiquitous in bioactive molecules; however, synthetic methods for the construction of this motif remain underdeveloped. Here, we report synthesis quaternary from tertiary alcohols, a class structurally diverse, bench-stable feedstocks, via merger photoredox catalysis and iron-mediated SH2 bond formation. This alcohol-bromide cross-coupling is enabled by novel halogen-atom transfer (XAT) reagent, which first reductively activated XAT reagent to be reported. A wide variety sterically congested products can accessed through mild practical protocol including derived both alkylation benzylation fragments.
