- C?H Oxygenation Reactions Enabled by Dual Catalysis with Electrogenerated Hypervalent Iodine Species and Ruthenium Complexes
-
The catalytic generation of hypervalent iodine(III) reagents by anodic electrooxidation was orchestrated towards an unprecedented electrocatalytic C?H oxygenation of weakly coordinating aromatic amides and ketones. Thus, catalytic quantities of iodoarenes in concert with catalytic amounts of ruthenium(II) complexes set the stage for versatile C?H activations with ample scope and high functional group tolerance. Detailed mechanistic studies by experiment and computation substantiate the role of the iodoarene as the electrochemically relevant species towards C?H oxygenations with electricity as a sustainable oxidant and molecular hydrogen as the sole by-product. para-Selective C?H oxygenations likewise proved viable in the absence of directing groups.

- Directed ortho-Metalation of O-Aryl N,N-Dialkylcarbamates: Methodology, Anionic ortho-Fries Rearrangement, and Lateral Metalation
-
The directed ortho-lithiation reactions of O-aryl N,N-dialkylcarbamates as well as O-1-naphthyl and O-2-naphthyl N,N-dialkylcarbamates with sec-butyllithium/tetramethylethylenediamine (sBuLi/TMEDA) followed by quenching with various electrophiles afford a range of polysubstituted aromatic compounds. If the solutions of the ortho-lithiated carbamates are warmed to room temperature without the addition of external electrophiles, salicylamide and 1- and 2-hydroxynaphthamide derivatives are formed through anionic ortho-Fries rearrangements. The relative stabilities and reactivities of different O-aryl N,N-dialkylcarbamates were investigated. The lateral metalation of 2-tolyl carbamates with lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) provides a route to benzo[b]furan-2(3H)-ones. Previously reported results are used in a comparison of seven O-based directed metalation groups in reactions with several electrophiles. The described methodology is useful for the preparation of 1,2,3-substituted aromatic compounds.

- Lithiation of a silyl ether: Formation of an ortho-fries hydroxyketone
-
A hydroxy-directed alkylation of an N,N-diethylarylamide using CIPE-assisted α-silyl carbanions (CIPE=complex-induced proximity effect) has been developed using a simple reagent combination of LDA (lithium diisopropylamide) and chlorosilane. A study of the mechanism, and the application of the procedure to an anionic Snieckus-Fries rearrangement for a highly efficient synthesis of the potent phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002, are reported.

- Beyond directed ortho metalation: Ru-catalyzed CAr-O activation/cross-coupling reaction by amide chelation
-
Disclosed is a new, catalytic, and general methodology for the chemical synthesis of biaryl, heterobiaryl, and polyaryl molecules by the cross-coupling of o-methoxybenzamides with aryl boroneopentylates. The reaction is based on the activation of the unreactive C-OMe bond by the proximate amide directing group using catalytic RuH2(CO)(PPh3)3 conditions. A one-step, base-free coupling process is thereby established that has the potential to supersede the useful two-step directed ortho metalation/cross- coupling reaction involving cryogenic temperature and strong base conditions. High regioselectivity, orthogonality with the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, operational simplicity, minimum waste, and convenient scale-up make these reactions suitable for industrial applications.
