This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of selective C-N bond forming reactions represents an important research area because amines are prevalent in biologically active natural products, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and ligands. Traditionally, the reactivity and selectivity of amine-forming reactions had a strong dependence on pre-functionalized starting materials which resulted in costly chemical steps. More direct C-H amination or C=C bond aziridination reactions via transition metal-catalyzed nitrene transfer have been brought to the synthetic community's attention recently for their potential to efficiently form valuable C-N bonds. Unfortunately, the development of efficient NT methods has been met with several challenges including substrate-dependent selectivity and the need for costly transition metal catalysts. The work described herein represents a new approach to these reactions in which rationally designed silver catalysts are utilized to achieve high chemo-, regio- and ultimately, enantioselectivity in a catalyst-controlled manner. Chapter 1 serves as an introduction by providing a selected review of literature on recent asymmetric metal-catalyzed nitrene transfer reactions emphasizing the common catalyst design strategies to solve problems associated with selectivity and reactivity. Chapter 2 describes a method for chemo- and enantioselective silver-catalyzed nitrene transfer in which homoallylic carbamates are transformed into [4.1.0]-carbamate-tethered aziridines in good yields and enantiomeric excess (ee) via intramolecular aziridination. The aziridine products undergo nucleophilic ring-opening to yield enantioenriched amines with no erosion in stereochemical integrity. Chapter 3 presents two complementary silver catalysts that are capable of selecting between [Beta] or [gamma] C(sp3)-H bonds residing in similar steric/electronic environments, overriding reaction at a weaker C-H bond in favor of a stronger one, and activating primary C-H bonds. Further experimental and computational studies revealed some mechanistic insights into this system and what seems to be causing this interesting catalyst-controlled regioselectivity. Finally, Chapter 4 offers an extension of the regioselective silver-catalyzed NT, where [gamma]-propargylic-[gamma]-amino alcohol motifs are synthesized with high site- and enantioselectivity. The protocol was enabled by a new optically active bis(oxazoline) ligand designed via a rapid structure-activity relationship analysis.

This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nitrene transfer (NT) is a convenient strategy to directly transform C-H bonds into more valuable C-N bonds. Intramolecular NT reactions offer access to various N-heterocycles which are common in drugs and natural products. Many of these heterocycles can also be transformed into useful building blocks such as amino alcohols or diamines. However, the high reactivity of nitrenes often results in reactions that are primarily controlled by substrate identity, rendering these reactions less useful. This work will describe our attempts to use silver catalysts to control reactions with challenging selectivity problems such as asymmetric reactions and dearomatization reactions. Chapter 1 features a broad look at the history of transition metal catalyzed NT, followed by a more in-depth discussion of intramolecular asymmetric NT variants. Chapter 2 describes the use of silver salts ligated to an unusual, quaternary-centered bis(oxazoline) (BOX) ligand, readily accessible through a modular synthetic approach, which enables site- and enantioselective nitrene transfers into benzylic, allylic and unactivated C-H bonds of carbamate esters. The resulting 1,3-aminoalcohol building blocks are delivered in good yields and moderate-to-excellent enantioselectivities. Computational models were employed to rationalize the observed stereochemical outcomes and set the stage for the predictive design of second-generation Ag-BOX catalysts. Chapter 3 presents a combination of silver-catalysts that are able to preferentially undergo either a dearomatization event to form bicyclic azepine structures or an insertion event into the benzylic C(sp3)-H bond. This chemoselective reaction requires the use of carbamimidate precursors featuring a large sulfamate protecting group, which allows the reaction to be controlled by a combination of ligand sterics and electronics.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract The ubiquitousness of amines in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, ligands for transition metals, biologically active natural compounds and functional materials is the strong motivation of organic chemists to develop highly efficient yet mild reactions to install valuable C-N bonds. Transition metal-catalyzed nitrene transfer is a convenient strategy to directly functionalize a hydrocarbon substrate with amine functionality. For all means of C(sp3)−H amination, one of the core issues hampering their developments is the difficulty to differentiate multiple C-H bonds that have nearly identical electronic properties and bond strengths. As described in this work, this problem is addressed through utilizing Ag catalysts based on deliberately designed ligands, which is inspired by mechanism study, to achieve tunable site-, regio-, and stereoselectivity. Chapter 1 gives a brief introduction by providing a selected review of literature on transition metal-catalyzed C(sp3)−H aminations reactions via nitrene transfer, emphasizing the common problems associated with reactivity and selectivity. Chapter 2 demonstrates both the solid and solution-state behavior of diverse Ag(I) catalysts competent for nitrene transfor through X-ray characterization and NMR studies, and discusses our understanding of how the ligand identity manipulate those behavior of corresponding Ag(I) complexes. Chapter 3 describes both computational models and experimental probes revealing possible roles of noncovalent interactions in directing the site-selectivity of silver-catalyzed C−H aminations. Chapter 4 addresses the fluxional behavior of Ag(tpa)OTf in solution potentially hampering its site-selectivity in nitrene insertion by a rigid ligand. Finally, chapter 5 provide a novel silver catalytic system which is able to tune the selectivity between [beta] or [gamma] C-H bond amindation of an easily prepared carbamate, overriding substrate control, and amidate traditionally difficult primary aliphatic C-H bonds. Further experimental and computational studies revealed some mechanistic insights into this system. Additional, synthetic utility of this methodology was proven by the late-stage functionalization of natural products and drug-like molecules, even in gram-scale.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon-nitrogen bonds are common to many classes of natural products and bioactive compounds. As such, efficient methods to construct nitrogenated organic scaffolds are in constant demand. Catalytic nitrene insertions are powerful methods to introduce these functionalities to hydrocarbon groups, but they presently are limited to substrate control owing to the inherent electrophilicity of nitrene intermediates, the use of catalysts with inflexible coordination environments, and a lack of understanding as to how electronic properties of metallonitrenes influence selectivity in the reaction. Chapter 1 summarizes and explores efforts by various research groups to address these issues. Our group seeks to address this problem through the use of silver, a metal displaying an array of accessible coordination geometries, to tune for chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity in these reactions and thus provide opportunities to divergently functionalize complex molecules. Explorations into catalyst tunability for regioselective C-H amination reactions are detailed in Chapter 2. Immediately following, Chapter 3 will expand upon this concept and illustrate how our initial conclusions informed subsequent catalyst design. Chapter 4 describes our advances in the regioselective differentiation of adjacent methylene units and the underlying mechanistic principles governing the product distribution. Finally, Chapter 5 discusses intermolecular functionalization of alkene feedstocks and the mechanistic principles fundamental to tuning for nitrene insertion into either C=C or C-H bonds.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stereodefined carbon-nitrogen bonds are ubiquitous in pharmaceuticals and biologically active naturals products, but their construction is often a difficult task, especially when these bonds are part of complex stereochemical arrays. The work described in this thesis addresses two aspects of chemo- and stereoselective carbon-nitrogen bond formation. Chapters 1 and 2 describe two methods for the transformation of homoallenic carbamates to 1,3-diamino-2-ols, motifs found in a number of important biologically active compounds. Each method utilizes catalytic nitrene transfer to access a bicyclic methylene aziridine, which possesses a carbon-carbon double bond capable of further functionalization. Chapter 3 addresses the nitrene transfer reaction directly, describing the development of a chemoselective silver(I)-catalyzed method for aziridination, first applied to the synthesis of bicyclic methylene aziridines. Further investigations demonstrated that simple changes in ligand:metal ratio altered the chemoselectivity of the transformation in favor of allenic C-H amination. These conditions were applied to the aziridination and C-H amination of homoallylic carbamates with equal efficacy. Chapter 4 presents a selective review of mechanistic literature on metal-catalyzed nitrene transfer reactions, emphasizing common experimental probes of these reactions and their interpretation. Chapter 5 describes mechanistic study of our own silver(I)-catalyzed nitrene transfer reaction, including spectroscopic analysis, mechanistic probe experiments, and kinetic profiling. The experiments suggest that two distinct catalytic species are responsible for the aziridination and C-H amination reactions, and that chemoselectivity is governed primarily by the different steric environments provided by the two catalysts. Finally, Chapter 6 describes effort to render the intramolecular silver(I)-catalyzed aziridination of alkenes enantioselective. The use of accessible bisoxazoline ligands provides high yields and ee > 80% for both cis- and trans-substituted alkenes. Simple modifications to current ligands are suggested for further improvements to the system. These improvements could render the system among the most accessible and selective methods of asymmetric intramolecular aziridination.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metal-catalyzed nitrene transfer is a versatile strategy for the direct incorporation of C-N bonds into organic compounds through direct C-H insertion to form amines or C=C insertion to form aziridines. The identity of the metal catalyst plays a crucial role in controlling the fate of the hyperelectrophilic nitrene when multiple reaction outcomes are possible. Part One of this thesis details the development of a catalytic system based on Ag(I) supported by diverse pyridyl N-donor ligands to achieve unprecedented and tunable site-selectivity in the amination of sterically and electronically similar tertiary C(sp3)-H bonds. When ligand-control in Ag(I) catalysis failed, exchanging the metal/ligand identity to Rh2Ln frequently provided selectivity for the orthogonal site. Further work demonstrated water could be employed as the solvent in these C-H amination reactions using Ag(I) or Rh2(II,II) catalysts and sulfamate nitrene precursors. Intramolecular chemo- and regioselective aziridination of allenes using Rh2(II,II)-catalyzed nitrene transfer provides access to bicyclic methyleneaziridine intermediates that can be rapidly diversified into complex amine-containing products by forming up to four new bonds across the cumulated pi-bonds. An underexploited strategy for accessing amidoallyl cations is treating these methyleneaziridines with a mild Lewis acid to heterolytically open the strained ring. This strategy is applied in Part Two to overcome the challenges that are associated with 3-amidopentadienyl cation imino-Nazarov electrocyclizations and the method provides access to densely functionalized aminocyclopentanes with flexible substitution patterns and control over the stereochemical outcome. This thesis in its entirety demonstrates the utility of metal-nitrenes as useful oxidants in the context of the diversity-oriented synthesis of both simple and complex amines.

This book was released on 1999-08-16 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with polypyrazolylborates (scorpionates), a class of ligands known since 1966, but becoming rapidly popular with inorganic, organometallic and coordination chemists since 1986, because of their versatility and user-friendliness. They can be readily modified sterically and electronically through appropriate substitution on the pyrazole ring and on boron, and have led to a number of firsts in coordination chemistry (first stable CuCO complex, first monomeric MgR complex, and many other such firsts). Their denticity can range from two to four, their “Bite” can be adjusted, and additional coordinating sites can be added to the pyrazolyl rings. Over 170 different scorpionate ligands are known today, and some are published for the first time in this book.The author, Swiatoslaw Trofimenko, discovered and developed this ligand system and has written several reviews on the subject. The book is intended as a reference work, placing at the researcher's command practically all of the over 1500 references on the subject up, and into 1999, organized both according to the ligand type and according to the metal or metalloid being coordinated. It acquaints the reader with the special features of this ligand system and permits an assessment of what has been done in a given sub-area, and of which areas remain relatively unexplored. It presents procedures for ligand synthesis, and also covers their use in catalysis and in the modelling of biologically active substances.
