Chromium-Catalyzed Linear-Selective Alkylation of Aldehydes with Alkenes

We developed a chromium-catalyzed, photochemical, and linear-selective alkylation of aldehydes with alkylzirconium species generated in situ from a wide range of alkenes and Schwartz's reagent. Photochemical homolysis of the C-Zr bond afforded alkyl radicals, which were then trapped by a chromium complex catalyst to generate the alkylchromium(III) species for polar addition to aldehydes. The reaction proceeded with high functional group tolerance at ambient temperature under visible-light irradiation.

Diboron-Mediated Rhodium-Catalysed Transfer Hydrogenation of Alkenes and Carbonyls

A diboron-mediated rhodium-catalysed transfer hydrogenation system using water as the hydrogen donor is developed. In addition to a series of alkenes with good functional group tolerance, this rhodium-based catalytic system also effectively reduces aldehydes and ketones. A plausible mechanism involving the RhI-catalysed hydrogen generation and Rh0-catalysed hydrogenation is proposed for the reaction.

Regioselective Vinylation of Remote Unactivated C(sp3)?H Bonds: Access to Complex Fluoroalkylated Alkenes

Regioselective incorporation of a particular functional group into aliphatic sites by direct activation of unreactive C?H bonds is of great synthetic value. Despite advances in radical-mediated functionalization of C(sp3)?H bonds by a hydrogen-atom transfer process, the site-selective vinylation of remote C(sp3)?H bonds still remains underexplored. Reported herein is a new protocol for the regioselective vinylation of unactivated C(sp3)?H bonds. The remote C(sp3)?H activation is promoted by a C-centered radical instead of the commonly used N and O radicals. The reaction possesses high product diversity and synthetic efficiency, furnishing a plethora of synthetically valuable E alkenes bearing tri-/di-/mono-fluoromethyl and perfluoroalkyl groups.

Regioselective Sulfonylvinylation of the Unactivated C(sp3)-H Bond via a C-Centered Radical-Mediated Hydrogen Atom Transfer (HAT) Process

Given the similarity of multiple sp3 C-H bonds in electronic properties and bond dissociation energy (BDE), regioselective sp3 C-H bond functionalization remains a paramount challenge. Here, we report a C-centered radical-mediated approach for site-specific sulfonylvinylation of the C(sp3)-H bond via the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) process. The reaction features mild conditions, broad substrate scope, and high regioselectivity and stereoselectivity, manifesting the nontrivial synthetic potential.

Design of Manganese Phenol Pi-complexes as Shvo-type Catalysts for Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones

Catalytic hydrogenation is one of the most important reactions both in academic research and industry. We explored ability of the manganese pi-complexes to act as Shvo-type catalysts for transfer hydrogenation of ketones. DFT calculations suggested that the transfer of hydrogen atoms from the hypothetical intermediate [(C6Me3H2OH)Mn(CO)2H] to acetone has low activation barrier of 10.9 kcal mol?1. Experimentally a number of ketones with various functional groups (OMe, NH2, Cl, CF3, pyridyl) were successfully reduced in isopropanol at 90 °C in the presence of the complex [(C6Me3H2OH)Mn(CO)3]BF4 (1 mol %) and tBuOK (75 mol %). However, further investigation revealed that the reduction was mainly promoted by base rather than the manganese complex.

Photoenzymatic Catalysis Enables Radical-Mediated Ketone Reduction in Ene-Reductases

Flavin-dependent ene-reductases (EREDs) are known to stereoselectively reduce activated alkenes, but are inactive toward carbonyls. Demonstrated here is that in the presence of photoredox catalysts, these enzymes will reduce aromatic ketones. Mechanistic experiments suggest this reaction proceeds through ketyl radical formation, a reaction pathway that is distinct from the native hydride-transfer mechanism. Furthermore, this reactivity is accessible without modification of either the enzyme or cofactors, allowing both native and non-natural mechanisms to occur simultaneously. Based on control experiments, we hypothesize that binding to the enzyme active site attenuates the reduction potential of the substrate, enabling single-electron reduction. This reactivity highlights opportunities to access new catalytic manifolds by merging photoredox catalysis with biocatalysis.

Diastereoselective C?H Bond Amination for Disubstituted Pyrrolidines

We report herein the improved diastereoselective synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidines from aliphatic azides. Experimental and theoretical studies of the C?H amination reaction mediated by the iron dipyrrinato complex (AdL)FeCl(OEt2) provided a model for diastereoinduction and allowed for systematic variation of the catalyst to enhance selectivity. Among the iron alkoxide and aryloxide catalysts evaluated, the iron phenoxide complex exhibited superior performance towards the generation of syn 2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidines with high diastereoselectivity.

Ruthenium(III)-Catalyzed β-Alkylation of Secondary Alcohols with Primary Alcohols

A Ru(III)-NNN complex bearing a pyridyl-supported pyrazolyl-imidazolyl ligand was synthesized and utilized as the catalyst for the direct β-alkylation of secondary alcohols with primary alcohols. β-Alkylated secondary alcohols were obtained in moderate to high yields with water formed as the byproduct through a hydrogen borrowing pathway. The present protocol provides a concise atom-economical and environmentally benign method for C-C bond formation.

Oxidation and β-Alkylation of Alcohols Catalysed by Iridium(I) Complexes with Functionalised N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands

The borrowing hydrogen methodology allows for the use of alcohols as alkylating agents for C-C bond forming processes offering significant environmental benefits over traditional approaches. Iridium(I)-cyclooctadiene complexes having a NHC ligand with a O- or N-functionalised wingtip efficiently catalysed the oxidation and β-alkylation of secondary alcohols with primary alcohols in the presence of a base. The cationic complex [Ir(NCCH3)(cod)(MeIm(2- methoxybenzyl))][BF4] (cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene, MeIm=1-methylimidazolyl) having a rigid O-functionalised wingtip, shows the best catalyst performance in the dehydrogenation of benzyl alcohol in acetone, with an initial turnover frequency (TOF0) of 1283 h-1, and also in the β-alkylation of 2-propanol with butan-1-ol, which gives a conversion of 94 % in 10 h with a selectivity of 99 % for heptan-2-ol. We have investigated the full reaction mechanism including the dehydrogenation, the cross-aldol condensation and the hydrogenation step by DFT calculations. Interestingly, these studies revealed the participation of the iridium catalyst in the key step leading to the formation of the new C-C bond that involves the reaction of an O-bound enolate generated in the basic medium with the electrophilic aldehyde.
