    Selective Alkylation of (Hetero)Aromatic Amines with Alcohols Catalyzed by a Ruthenium Pincer Complex2012In: Organic Letters, ISSN 1523-7060, E-ISSN 1523-7052, Vol. 14, no 6, p. 1456-1459Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A readily available pincer ruthenium(II) complex catalyzes the selective monoalkylation of (hetero)aromatic amines with a wide range of primary alcohols (including pyridine-, furan-, and thiophene-substituted alcohols) with high efficiency when used in low catalyst loadings (1 mol %). Tertiary amine formation via polyalkylation does not occur, making this ruthenium system an excellent catalyst for the synthesis of sec-amines.

    Readily Available Ruthenium Complex for Efficient Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of Aromatic alpha-Hydroxy Ketones2014In: Organic Letters, ISSN 1523-7060, E-ISSN 1523-7052, Vol. 16, no 8, p. 2256-2259Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A ruthenium complex formed from commercially available [Ru(p-cymene)Cl-2](2) and 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane catalyzes the racemization of aromatic alpha-hydroxy ketones very efficiently at room temperature. The racemization is fully compatible with a kinetic resolution catalyzed by a lipase from Pseudomonas stutzeri. This is the first example of dynamic kinetic resolution of alpha-hydroxy ketones at ambient temperature in which the metal and enzyme catalysts work in concert in one pot at room temperature to give quantitative yields of esters of alpha-hydroxy ketones with very high enantioselectivity.

    Nickel-Catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling Reaction of Naphthyl and Quinolyl Alcohols with Boronic Acids2019In: Organic Letters, ISSN 1523-7060, E-ISSN 1523-7052, Vol. 21, no 12, p. 4782-4787Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A nickel-catalyzed C(sp(3))-C(sp(2)) Suzuki cross-coupling of arylboronic acids and (hetero)naphthyl alcohols has been developed. A Ni(dppp) Cl-2 complex showed the highest efficiency and broadest substrate scope. High functional group tolerance has been achieved where 35 compounds could be generated in good to excellent yields, including both primary and secondary benzylic alcohols. Mechanistic studies using multiple NMR techniques as well as ESI-HRMS showed that the C-O cleavage is facilitated by an activation of the benzylic alcohol through formation of a boronic ester intermediate.

    Selective Formation of Adjacent Stereocenters by Allylboration of Ketones under Mild Neutral Conditions2013In: Organic Letters, ISSN 1523-7060, E-ISSN 1523-7052, Vol. 15, no 10, p. 2546-2549Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Allylboronic acids readily react with a broad variety of ketones, affording homoallylic alcohols with adjacent quaternary and tertiary stereocenters. The reaction proceeds with very high anti stereoselectivity even if the substituents of the keto group have a similar size. a-Keto acids react with syn stereoselectivity probably due to the formation of acyl boronate intermediates. The allylation reactions proceed without added acids/bases under mild conditions. Because of this, many functionalities are tolerated even with in situ generated allylboronic acids.

    Pincer complex-catalyzed redox coupling of alkenes with iodonium salts via presumed palladium(IV) intermediates2009In: Organic Letters, ISSN 1523-7060, E-ISSN 1523-7052, Vol. 11, no 13, p. 2852-2854Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Palladium pincer complexes directly catalyze the redox coupling reactions of functionalized alkenes and iodonium salts. The catalytic process, which is suitable for mild catalytic functionalization of allylic acetates and electron-rich alkenes, probably occurs through Pd(IV) intermediates. Due to the strong metal−ligand interactions, the oxidation of phosphine and amine ligands of the pincer complexes can be avoided in the presented reactions.

    Abstract [en]

    A tandem isomerization/C-H activation of allylic alcohols was performed using a catalytic amount of RUCl(2)(PPh(3))(3). A variety of ortho alkylated ketones have been obtained in excellent yields. This tandem process relies on an in situ generation of a carbonyl functional group that directs the ortho C-H bond activation.

    Formation of C(sp(3))-C(sp(3)) Bonds by Palladium Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of alpha-Diazoketones and Allylboronic Acids2016In: Organic Letters, ISSN 1523-7060, E-ISSN 1523-7052, Vol. 18, no 10, p. 2503-2506Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Palladium catalyzed cross-coupling of allylboronic acids with a-diazoketones was studied. The reaction selectively affords the linear allylic product. The reaction proceeds with formation of a new C(sp(3))-C(sp(3)) bond. The reaction was performed without an external oxidant, likely without the Pd-catalyst undergoing redox reactions.

    Chemoenzymatic Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of Allylic Alcohols: A Highly Enantioselective Route to Acyloin Acetates2007In: Organic Letters, ISSN 1523-7060, E-ISSN 1523-7052, Vol. 9, no 17, p. 3401-3404Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of a series of sterically hindered allylic alcohols has been conducted with Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) and ruthenium catalyst 1. The optically pure allylic acetates obtained were subjected to oxidative cleavage to give the corresponding acylated acyloins in high yields without loss of chiral information.

    Modular Synthesis of (Borylmethyl)silanes through Orthogonal Functionalization of a Carbon Atom2023In: Organic Letters, ISSN 1523-7060, E-ISSN 1523-7052, Vol. 25, no 11, p. 1935-1940Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    (Borylmethyl)trimethylsilanes are important building blocks in organic synthesis displaying a unique reactivity. Yet, the synthesis of more advanced derivatives is limited by the advanced silicon intermediates required for their preparation. Herein, a one-pot synthesis of (borylmethyl)silanes is developed, sourced on available alkyl-, aryl-, alkoxy-, aryloxy-, and silyl-hydrosilane materials. The privileged reactivity of N-hydroxyphthalimidyl diazoacetate (NHPI-DA) in Si–H insertion and α-silyl redox-active esters in different decarboxylative borylation reactions are scrutinized.

    i-Pr2-NMgCl·LiCl Enables the Synthesis of Ketones by Direct Addition of Grignard Reagents to Carboxylate Anions2019In: Organic Letters, ISSN 1523-7060, E-ISSN 1523-7052, Vol. 21, no 19, p. 7908-7913Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The direct preparation of ketones from carboxylate anions is greatly limited by the required use of organolithium reagents or activated acyl sources that need to be independently prepared. Herein, a specific magnesium amide additive is used to activate and control the addition of more tolerant Grignard reagents to carboxylate anions. This strategy enables the modular synthesis of ketones from CO2 and the preparation of isotopically labeled pharmaceutical building blocks in a single operation.

    Stereocontrol in Synthesis of Homoallylic Amines. Syn Selective Direct Allylation of Hydrazones with Allylboronic Acids2014In: Organic Letters, ISSN 1523-7060, E-ISSN 1523-7052, Vol. 16, no 14, p. 3808-3811Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Allylboronic acids directly react with acyl hydrazones, affording homoallylic amine derivatives. The reaction proceeds with very high syn selectivity, which is the opposite of the stereochemistry observed for allylboration of imines. The reaction can be carried out with both aromatic and aliphatic acyl hydrazones. Based on our studies the excellent syn stereochemistry can be explained by chelation control of the acyl hydrazone and the B(OH)(2) moiety.

    Copper-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Allylboronic Acids with alpha-Diazoketones2015In: Organic Letters, ISSN 1523-7060, E-ISSN 1523-7052, Vol. 17, no 19, p. 4754-4757Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Copper-catalyzed cross-coupling of substituted allylboronic acids with alpha-diazoketones was studied. This allylation reaction is highly regioselective, providing the branched allylic product. The process involves creation of a new C(sp(3))-C(sp(3)) bond by retaining the keto functional group of the alpha-diazoketone precursor.

    Metal-Free C-Arylation of Nitro Compounds with Diaryliodonium Salts2015In: Organic Letters, ISSN 1523-7060, E-ISSN 1523-7052, Vol. 17, no 18, p. 4554-4557Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    An efficient, mild, and metal-free arylation of nitro-alkanes with diaryliodonium salts has been developed, giving easy access to tertiary nitro compounds. The reaction proceeds in high yields without the need for excess reagents and can be extended to alpha-arylation of nitroesters. Nitroalkanes were selectively C-arylated in the presence of other easily arylated functional groups, such as phenols and aliphatic alcohols.

    Synthesis of α,γ-Chiral Trifluoromethylated Amines through the Stereospecific Isomerization of α-Chiral Allylic Amines2022In: Organic Letters, ISSN 1523-7060, E-ISSN 1523-7052, Vol. 24, no 21, p. 3867-3871Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Chiral γ-branched aliphatic amines are present in a large number of pharmaceuticals and natural products. However, enantioselective methods to access these compounds are scarce and mainly rely on the use of designed chiral transition-metal complexes. Herein, we combined an organocatalytic method for the stereospecific isomerization of chiral allylic amines with a diastereoselective reduction of the chiral imine/enamine intermediates, leading to γ-trifluoromethylated aliphatic amines with two noncontiguous stereogenic centers, in excellent yields and high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. This approach has been used with primary amine substrates. This approach also provides a new synthetic pathway to chiral trifluoromethylated scaffolds, of importance in medicinal chemistry. Additionally, a gram-scale reaction demonstrates the applicability of this synthetic procedure.

    Mechanism and Stereoselectivity of the BINOL-Catalyzed Allylboration of Skatoles2017In: Organic Letters, ISSN 1523-7060, E-ISSN 1523-7052, Vol. 19, no 21, p. 5904-5907Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Density functional theory calculations have been performed to investigate the binaphthol-catalyzed allylboration of skatoles. The high stereoselectivity observed for the reaction is reproduced well by the calculations and was found to be mainly a result of steric repulsions in the corresponding Zimmerman-Traxler transition states. The role of the additive MeOH in enhancing the stereoselectivity was also investigated and is suggested to promote the formation of less reactive allylboronic ester intermediates, thereby suppressing the formation of allylboroxine species, which undergo the facile racemic background reaction.

    A fast, high-yielding synthesis of diaryl ethers with use of mild and metal-free conditions has been developed. The scope includes bulky orthosubstituteddiaryl ethers, which are difficult to obtain by metal-catalyzed protocols. Halo-substituents, racemization-prone amino acid derivatives,and heteroaromatics are also tolerated. The methodology is expected to be of high utility in the synthesis of complex molecules and in thepharmaceutical industry.

    A mild and efficient palladium-catalyzed oxidative diarylating carbocyclization of enynes is described. The reaction tolerates a range of functionalized arylboronic acids to give diarylated products in good yields. Control experiments suggest that the reaction starts with an arylpalladation of the alkyne, followed by carbocyclization, transmetalation, and reductive elimination to afford the diarylated product.

    Microwave-assisted palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl and vinyl halides with H-phosphonate diesters2008In: Organic Letters, ISSN 1523-7060, E-ISSN 1523-7052, Vol. 10, no 20, p. 4637-4640Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A general and efficient method for the microwave-assisted formation of the C−P bond was developed. Using a prevalent palladium catalyst, Pd(PPh3)4, a quantitative cross-coupling of various H-phosphonate diesters with aryl and vinyl halides was achieved in less than 10 min. The reactions occurred with retention of configuration at the phosphorus center and in the vinyl moiety. Using this protocol, several C-phosphonates, including those bearing nucleoside and cholesteryl moieties, were prepared in high yields.

    Mild and Selective Et2Zn-Catalyzed Reduction of Tertiary Amides under Hydrosilylation Conditions2015In: Organic Letters, ISSN 1523-7060, E-ISSN 1523-7052, Vol. 17, no 3, p. 446-449Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Diethylzinc (Et2Zn) can be used as an efficient and chemoselective catalyst for the reduction of tertiary amides under mild reaction conditions employing cost-effective polymeric silane (PMHS) as the hydride source. Crucial for the catalytic activity was the addition of a substoichiometric amount of lithium chloride to the reaction mixture. A series of amides containing different additional functional groups were reduced to their corresponding amines, and the products were isolated in good-to-excellent yields.

    Abstract [en]

    Palladium-catalyzed allylic C−H silylation was performed with use of hexamethyldisilane as the silyl source. These C−H functionalization reactions occur only in the presence of hypervalent iodine reagents or other strong oxidants and proceed with excellent regioselectivity, providing the linear allylic isomer of the allylsilane products. In demonstrating the first oxidative allylic C−H silylation of alkenes, this study marks an important advance for the catalytic C−H functionalization method.

    An efficient and transition-metal-free method is presented to access tertiary alkyl aryl ethers by arylation of tertiary alcohols with ortho-substituted diaryliodonium salts. The scope covers cyclic and acyclic aliphatic, benzylic, allylic, and propargylic tertiary alcohols as well as primary and secondary fluorinated alcohols. The methodology gives access to alkyl aryl ethers of previously unprecedented steric congestion. Furthermore, the versatility of the developed procedure was demonstrated by arylation of the pro-drug mestranol.

    Mechanisms of Rh-Catalyzed Oxyaminofluorination and Oxyaminotrifluoromethylthiolation of Diazocarbonyl Compounds with Electrophilic Reagents2018In: Organic Letters, ISSN 1523-7060, E-ISSN 1523-7052, Vol. 20, no 21, p. 6646-6649Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Density functional theory calculations were performed to study the detailed reaction mechanisms of rhodium-catalyzed oxyaminofluorination and oxyaminotrifluoromethylthiolation of diazocarbonyl compounds with electrophilic N-F and N-SCF3-based reagents. The calculations show that the operating mechanisms for the two reactions are identical. The catalytic cycle starts with N-2 dissociation to provide a rhodium-carbene intermediate, followed by nucleophilic attack of tetrahydrofuran on the carbene and a rhodium coordination change generating a rhodium-enolate intermediate. Subsequent electrophilic attack introduces the fluorine or the SCF3 moiety, and it is followed by nucleophilic attack of the remaining amino group to yield the final product.

    Abstract [en]

    An efficient methodology for the synthesis of vinyl-, allyl-, and (E)-2-boryl allylboronates from propargylic alcohols via Cu-catalyzed borylation under mild conditions is reported. In the presence of commercially available Cu(OAc)(2) or Cu(acac)(2) and Xantphos, the reaction affords the desired products in up to 92% yield with a broad substrate scope (43 examples). Isolation of an allenyl boronate as the reaction intermediate suggests that an insertion elimination-type reaction, followed by borylcupration, is involved in the borylation of propargylic alcohols.

    This communication describes an efficient palladium pincer complex-catalyzed allylic C-H borylation of alkenes. The transformation exhibits high regio- and stereo selectivity with a variety of linear alkenes. A synthetically useful feature of this allylic C-H borylation method is that all allyl-Bpin products can be isolated in usually high yields. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate that this CH borylation reaction proceeds via Pd(IV) pincer complex intermediates.

    Abstract [en]

    Alcohols are among the most abundant and readily available organic feedstocks in industrial processes. The direct catalytic functionalization of sp(3) C-O bonds of alcohols remains the main challenge in this field. Here, we report a copper-catalyzed synthesis of benzyl-, allyl-, and allenylboronates from benzylic, allylic, and propargylic alcohols, respectively. This protocol exhibits a broad reaction scope (40 examples) and high efficiency (up to 95% yield) under mild conditions, including for the preparation of secondary allylic boronates. Preliminarily mechanistic studies suggest that nucleophilic substitution is involved in this reaction.

    Stereospecific Isomerization of Allylic Halides via Ion Pairs with Induced Noncovalent Chirality2020In: Organic Letters, ISSN 1523-7060, E-ISSN 1523-7052, Vol. 22, no 11, p. 4123-4128Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A regioselective protocol for the synthesis of substituted allylic chlorides, bromides, and fluorides has been established. Remarkably, the method can be applied to the enantioselective synthesis of challenging chiral allylic chlorides. When the allylic halides are treated with the base triazabicyclodecene as the catalyst, a [1,3]-proton shift takes place, giving the corresponding vinyl halides in excellent yields with excellent Z:E ratios. Furthermore, the [1,3]-proton shift takes place with an outstanding level of chirality transfer from chiral allylic alcohols (<= 98%) to give chiral trifluoromethylated vinyl chlorides.

Excellent enantiomeric excesses, of up to 99%, were obtained, accompanied with good to high isolated yields. Challenging dialkyl substituted substrates, which are difficult to hydrogenate with satisfactory chiral induction, were hydrogenated in a highly enantioselective fashion.

    Palladium-catalyzed allylic acetoxylations and benzoyloxylations were carried out using iodonium salts. The reactions proceed under mild conditions with high regio- and stereoselectivity. The catalysis can be performed under both acidic and nonacidic conditions without use of BQ or other external oxidants and activator ligands. Deuterium labeling experiments clearly show that the catalytic reaction proceeds through (η3-allyl)palladium intermediates. A stoichiometric study with one of the catalysts provided evidence for the formation of a Pd(IV) species.

    Highly Diastereoselective Palladium-Catalyzed Oxidative Cascade Carbonylative Carbocyclization of Enallenols2020In: Organic Letters, ISSN 1523-7060, E-ISSN 1523-7052, Vol. 22, no 2, p. 417-421Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A palladium-catalyzed oxidative cascade carbonylative carbocyclization of enallenols was developed. Under mild reaction conditions, a range of cis-fused [5,5] bicyclic gamma-lactones and gamma-lactams with a 1,3-diene motif were obtained in good yields with high diastereoselectivity. The obtained lactone/lactam products are viable substrates for a stereoselective Diels-Alder reaction with N-phenylmaleimide, providing polycyclic compounds with increased molecular complexity.
