The introduction of chlorine atoms into organic molecules is fundamental to the manufacture of industrial chemicals, the elaboration of advanced synthetic intermediates and also the fine-tuning of physicochemical and biological properties of drugs, agrochemicals and polymers. We report here a general and practical photochemical strategy enabling the site-selective chlorination of sp3 C?H bonds. This process exploits the ability of protonated N-chloroamines to serve as aminium radical precursors and also radical chlorinating agents. Upon photochemical initiation, an efficient radical-chain propagation is established allowing the functionalization of a broad range of substrates due to the large number of compatible functionalities. The ability to synergistically maximize both polar and steric effects in the H-atom transfer transition state through appropriate selection of the aminium radical has provided the highest known selectivity in radical sp3 C?H chlorination.

We are describing herein a new environmentally friendly catalytic system able to convert cyclohexane to chlorocyclohexane with 100% selectivity. The method was also applied to the chlorination of n-hexane and adamantane. The catalytic system employs thichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) as halogenating agent and a mononuclear copper(II) complex [Cu(BPAH)(H2O)](ClO4)2, 1, as catalyst (BPAH = 1,4-bis(propanamide)homopiperazine), whose molecular structure was solved by monocrystal X-ray diffraction. For cyclohexane, at a ratio catalyst:substrate:TCCA of 1:1000:333, the system reached a conversion of 32.0 ± 1% at 25 °C and 44.7 ± 0.4% at 50 °C, with 100% selectivity for chlorocyclohexane. With n-hexane, a similar conversion was observed at 50 °C, resulting in mixture of monochlorides. Employing adamantane as substrate, the isomers 1-chloroadamantane and 2-chloroadamante were preferentially formed, together with traces of dichloroadamantane. EPR and ESI-(+)-MS analyses indicate the formation of a Cu-hypochlorite intermediate species, which is supported by theoretical calculations.

The site selectivities of intermolecular, aliphatic C-H bond functionalizations are central to the value of these transformations. While the scope of these reactions continues to expand, the site selectivities remain largely dictated by the inherent reactivity of the substrate C-H bonds. Herein, we introduce reagent-dictated site selectivity to intermolecular aliphatic C-H functionalizations using nitrogen-centered amidyl radicals. Simple modifications of the amide lead to high levels of site selectivity in intermolecular C-H functionalizations across a range of simple and complex substrates. DFT calculations demonstrate that the steric demand of the reacting nitrogen-centered radical is heavily affected by the substitution pattern of the starting amide. Optimization of transition state structures consistently indicated higher reagent-dictated steric selectivities using more hindered amides, consistent with experimental results.

The direct selective halogenation of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds into C-halogen bonds was achieved using a nano Ag/AgCl catalyst at RT under visible light or LED irradiation in the presence of an aqueous solution of NaX/HX as a halide source, in air. The halogenation of hydrocarbons provided mono-halide substituted products with 95% selectivity and yields higher than 90%, with the chlorination of toluene being 81%, far higher than the 40% conversion using dichlorine. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that the reaction is a free radical process using blue light (450-500 nm), with visible light being the most effective light source. Irradiation is proposed to cause AgCl bonding electrons to become excited and electron transfer from chloride ions induces chlorine radical formation which drives the substitution reaction. The reaction provides a potentially valuable method for the direct chlorination of saturated hydrocarbons.

A visible light-induced monochlorination of cyclohexane with sodium chloride (5:1) has been successfully accomplished to afford chlorocyclohexane in excellent yield by using Oxone as the oxidant in H2O/CF3CH2OH at room temperature. Other secondary and primary alkyl sp3 C-H bonds of cycloalkanes and functional branch/linear alkanes can also be chlorinated, respectively, under similar conditions. The selection of a suitable organic solvent is crucial in these efficient radical chlorinations of alkanes in two-phase solutions. It is studied further by the achievement of high chemoselectivity in the chlorination of the benzyl sp3 C-H bond or the aryl sp2 C-H bond of toluene.

We present the controlled monochlorination of aliphatic and benzylic hydrocarbons with only 1 equiv of substrate at 25-30 °C using N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) as radical initiator and commercially available trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) as the chlorine source. Catalytic amounts of CBr4 reduced the reaction times considerably due to the formation of chain-carrying ·CBr3 radicals. Benzylic C-H chlorination affords moderate to good yields for arenes carrying electron-withdrawing (50-85%) or weakly electron-donating groups (31-73%); cyclic aliphatic substrates provide low yields (24-38%). The products could be synthesized on a gram scale followed by simple purification via distillation. We report the first direct side-chain chlorination of 3-methylbenzoate affording methyl 3-(chloromethyl)benzoate, which is an important building block for the synthesis of vasodilator taprostene.

Methods for the practical, intermolecular functionalization of aliphatic C-H bonds remain a paramount goal of organic synthesis. Free radical alkane chlorination is an important industrial process for the production of small molecule chloroalkanes from simple hydrocarbons, yet applications to fine chemical synthesis are rare. Herein, we report a site-selective chlorination of aliphatic C-H bonds using readily available N-chloroamides and apply this transformation to a synthesis of chlorolissoclimide, a potently cytotoxic labdane diterpenoid. These reactions deliver alkyl chlorides in useful chemical yields with substrate as the limiting reagent. Notably, this approach tolerates substrate unsaturation that normally poses major challenges in chemoselective, aliphatic C-H functionalization. The sterically and electronically dictated site selectivities of the C-H chlorination are among the most selective alkane functionalizations known, providing a unique tool for chemical synthesis. The short synthesis of chlorolissoclimide features a high yielding, gram-scale radical C-H chlorination of sclareolide and a three-step/two-pot process for the introduction of the β-hydroxysuccinimide that is salient to all the lissoclimides and haterumaimides. Preliminary assays indicate that chlorolissoclimide and analogues are moderately active against aggressive melanoma and prostate cancer cell lines.

The spectroscopic, electrochemical, and crystallographic characterization of [(Me,HPyTACN)NiII(CH3CN)2](OTf)2 (1) (Me,HPyTACN = 1-(2-pyridylmethyl)-4,7-dimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane, OTf = CF3SO3) is described together with its reactivity with NaOCl. 1 catalyzes the chlorination of alkanes with NaOCl, producing only a trace amount of oxygenated byproducts. The reaction was monitored spectroscopically and by high resolution electrospray-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) with the aim to elucidate mechanistic aspects. NaOCl reacts with 1 in acetonitrile to form the transient species [(L)NiII-OCl(S)]+ (A) (L = Me,HPyTACN, S = solvent), which was identified by ESI-MS. UV/vis absorption, electron paramagnetic resonance, and resonance Raman spectroscopy indicate that intermediate A decays to the complex [(L)NiIII-OH(S)]2+ (B) presumably through homolytic cleavage of the O-Cl bond, which liberates a Cl? atom. Hydrolysis of acetonitrile to acetic acid under the applied conditions results in the formation of [(L)NiIII-OOCCH3(S)]2+ (C), which undergoes subsequent reduction to [(L)NiII-OOCCH3(S)]2+ (D), presumably via reaction with OCl- or ClO2-. Subsequent addition of NaOCl to [(L)NiII-OOCCH3(S)]+ (D) regenerates [(L)NiIII-OH(S)]2+ (B) to a much greater extent and at a faster rate. Addition of acids such as acetic and triflic acid enhances the rate and extent of formation of [(L)NiIII-OH(S)]2+ (B) from 1, suggesting that O-Cl homolytic cleavage is accelerated by protonation. Overall, these reactions generate Cl? atoms and ClO2 in a catalytic cycle where the nickel center alternates between Ni(II) and Ni(III). Chlorine atoms in turn react with the C-H bonds of alkanes, forming alkyl radicals that are trapped by Cl? to form alkyl chlorides.
