- Site Selective Chlorination of C(sp3)?H Bonds Suitable for Late-Stage Functionalization
-
C(sp3)?Cl bonds are present in numerous biologically active small molecules, and an ideal route for their preparation is by the chlorination of a C(sp3)?H bond. However, most current methods for the chlorination of C(sp3)?H bonds are insufficiently site selective and tolerant of functional groups to be applicable to the late-stage functionalization of complex molecules. We report a method for the highly selective chlorination of tertiary and benzylic C(sp3)?H bonds to produce the corresponding chlorides, generally in high yields. The reaction occurs with a mixture of an azidoiodinane, which generates a selective H-atom abstractor under mild conditions, and a readily-accessible and inexpensive copper(II) chloride complex, which efficiently transfers a chlorine atom. The reaction's exceptional functional group tolerance is demonstrated by the chlorination of >30 diversely functionalized substrates and the late-stage chlorination of a dozen derivatives of natural products and active pharmaceutical ingredients.

- Late-Stage Aromatic C-H Oxygenation
-
Synthetic methods for oxidative aromatic C-O bond formation are sparse, despite their demand in metabolite synthesis for drug discovery and development. We report a novel methodology for late-stage C-O bond formation of arenes. The reaction proceeds with excellent functional group tolerance even for highly functionalized substrates. The resulting aryl mesylates provide access to potential human metabolites of pharmaceuticals, and may be used directly to install a C-F bond to block metabolic hotspots. A charge-transfer interaction between the reagent bis(methanesulfonyl) peroxide and the substrate arenes may be relevant for the chemoselective functionalization of arenes over other functional groups.
