Nickel-Catalyzed anti-Markovnikov Hydrodifluoroalkylation of Unactivated Alkenes

An efficient Ni-catalyzed hydrodifluoroalkylation of unactivated alkenes with bromodifluoroacetate by using PhSiH3 as hydride source was developed. The transformation affords aliphatic difluorides with anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity. A wide range of hi

Low-Valent Tungsten Catalysis Enables Site-Selective Isomerization-Hydroboration of Unactivated Alkenes

A tungsten-catalyzed hydroboration of unactivated alkenes at distal C(sp3)-H bonds aided by native directing groups is described herein. The method is characterized by its simplicity, exquisite regio- and chemoselectivity, and wide substrate scope, offering a complementary site-selectivity pattern to other metal-catalyzed borylation reactions and chain-walking protocols.

Merging Photoredox PCET with Ni-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling: Cascade Amidoarylation of Unactivated Olefins

The integration of amidyl radicals with cross-coupling chemistry opens new avenues for reaction design. However, the lack of efficient methods for the generation of such radical species has prevented many such transformations from being brought to fruition. Herein, the amidoarylation of unactivated olefins by a cascade process from non-functionalized amides is reported by merging, for the first time, photoredox proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) with nickel catalysis. This new technology grants access to an array of complex molecules containing a privileged pyrrolidinone core from alkenyl amides and aryl- and heteroaryl halides in the presence of a visible light photocatalyst and a nickel catalyst. Notably, the reaction is not restricted to amides—carbamates and ureas can also be used. Mechanistic studies, including hydrogen-bond affinity constants, cyclization rate measurements, quenching studies, and cyclic voltammetry, were central to comprehend the subtleties contributing to the integration of the two catalytic cycles. A rapid, highly diastereoselective amidoarylation of unactivated olefins was achieved to render medicinally privileged pyrrolidinone structures. Taking advantage of a photoredox proton-coupled electron transfer process, amidyl radicals were obtained from non-prefunctionalized N–H bonds under mild conditions, which were subsequently trapped by pendant olefins, delivering alkyl radicals for nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling. Mechanistic studies revealed the key balance between thermodynamically-driven radical generation and kinetically-driven cyclization, which led to expanding the scope toward urea and carbamate substrates. Rapid generation of molecular complexity and access to novel 3D chemical space is pivotal for successful and efficient drug discovery. Nickel/photoredox dual catalysis has arisen as an appealing strategy toward such a goal by rapidly introducing Csp3 centers under mild reaction conditions. By taking advantage of a native amide group, we achieved an amidoarylation reaction of unactivated olefins, rendering a series of medicinally privileged structures in a highly atom-economical way. The reaction takes advantage of a photoredox proton-coupled electron transfer event to cleave the strong amidyl N–H bond homolytically. Subsequent regiospecific 5-exo-trig cyclization generates an alkyl radical. High functional group tolerance was achieved with excellent diastereoselectivities owing to the reaction's mild nature. Mechanistic studies showed the intricate relationship between the base stoichiometry and the N–H donor, as well as the key balance between kinetic and thermodynamic factors.

Catalytic Olefin Hydroamidation Enabled by Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer

Here we report a ternary catalyst system for the intramolecular hydroamidation of unactivated olefins using simple N-aryl amide derivatives. Amide activation in these reactions occurs via concerted proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) mediated by an excited state iridium complex and weak phosphate base to furnish a reactive amidyl radical that readily adds to pendant alkenes. A series of H-atom, electron, and proton transfer events with a thiophenol cocatalyst furnish the product and regenerate the active forms of the photocatalyst and base. Mechanistic studies indicate that the amide substrate can be selectively homolyzed via PCET in the presence of the thiophenol, despite a large difference in bond dissociation free energies between these functional groups.

Pd(II)-catalyzed intramolecular amidoarylation of alkenes with molecular oxygen as sole oxidant

Stereoselective palladium-catalyzed synthesis of structurally versatile indoline derivatives, using molecular oxygen as the sole oxidant, is described. New C-N and C-C bonds form across an alkene in an intramolecular manner. The C-N bond-forming step proceeds via a syn-amidopalladation pathway. The moderate kinetic isotope effects (intramolecular KIE = 3.56) suggest that electrophilic aromatic substitution occurs in the arylation step.
