Book excerpt: In recent years, the Jarvo lab has developed the field of stereospecific nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of benzylic electrophiles. This chemistry allows for straightforward synthesis of asymmetric C--C bonds. The focus of this dissertation is on the study of the mechanism of these transformations, and the development of reductive cross-electrophile coupling reactions.First, the mechanism of the nickel-catalyzed Kumada cross-coupling reaction was studied via a 13C kinetic isotope effect experiment. This experiment indicated that oxidative addition of the nickel catalyst into the C--O sigma bond was the rate limiting step. Combining this data with a rate law allowed us to propose a catalytic cycle for this reaction. Additionally, the nickel-catalyzed deoxygenation of benzylic ethers was optimized for the formation of diaryl methanes. Deoxygenation performed best with a proton-rich Grignard reagent. We demonstrated that these Grignard reagents act as the hydride source for the reduction reaction.Next, an intramolecular nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-electrophile coupling reaction of benzylic ethers and alkyl chlorides was developed. This reaction proceeds with a variety of extended aromatic and heteroaromatic groups to produce cyclopropane rings in great yields and diastereoselectivity. This is the first example of a stereospecific reductive cross-electrophile coupling reaction, as well as the first to employ alkyl ethers and alkyl halides as the electrophiles.Finally, the work on nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-electrophile coupling reactions was expanded to synthesize vinylcyclopropanes from allylic ethers and alkyl halides. This reaction occurs with both alkyl fluorides and alkyl chlorides. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported cross-electrophile coupling reaction of an alkyl fluoride. Ring contraction proceeds with high stereospecificity, providing selective synthesis of either diastereomer of di- and tri-substituted cyclopropanes. The utility of this methodology is demonstrated by several synthetic applications including the synthesis of the natural product dictyopterene A. 2-Vinyl-4-fluorotetrahydrofurans also undergo stereospecific ring contractions, providing access to synthetically useful hydroxymethyl cyclopropanes.

Book excerpt: The development of asymmetric transition-metal-catalyzed reactions has emerged as an important area of research in the past decade. Advances in the field are transforming the way chemists approach the construction of target compounds. This dissertation focuses on the expansion of stereospecific nickel-catalyzed reactions to synthesize small unnatural polyketide analogs, chiral long chain carboxylic acids, and highly substituted cyclopropanes. In the presence of an achiral nickel catalyst, a bidentate phosphine ligand, and a Grignard reagent, aryl-substituted tetrahydropyrans and tetrahydrofurans undergo a stereospecific ring-opening to afford acyclic polyketide analogs with complex stereoarrays and promising anti-cancer activity. Reactions proceed with inversion of stereochemistry at the benzylic position and are substrate controlled. Similarly, enantioenriched aryl-substituted lactones undergo a Negishi-type cross-coupling with dimethylzinc to afford enantioenriched carboxylic acids. The utility of this reaction was demonstrated in a two-step synthesis of an anti-dyslipidemia agent.The nickel catalyst system was employed to develop the first stereospecific reductive cross-coupling reaction. 2-Aryl-4-chlorotetrahydropyrans undergo an intramolecular ring contraction to afford highly substituted cyclopropanes. The reactions proceed with retention at the benzylic center and inversion at the alkyl halide position. Vinyl-substituted tetrahydropyrans are also amenable substrates for this transformation and afford vinylcyclopropane products with excellent control of stereochemistry. This is the first reported reductive coupling between alkyl ethers and alkyl halides and provides a new, mild synthetic route to both aryl- and vinyl-substituted cyclopropanes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transition-metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are powerful methods for the synthesis of natural products and medicinal compounds. Cross-coupling reactions of secondary alkyl electrophiles are currently more challenging than those of aryl or vinyl halides, but these reactions enable the construction of tertiary stereogenic centers with control of configuration. Several methods have been reported for the stereoconvergent cross-coupling of alkyl halides using chiral nickel catalysts. Herein, we report the development of a stereospecific cross-coupling reaction of enantioenriched benzylic ethers using achiral nickel catalysts. We initially performed mechanistic studies to determine the stereochemical course of established nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. A deuterium-labeled alkylborane reagent was used to establish that transmetalation from boron to nickel occurs with retention of configuration. In addition, these studies establish that alkylnickel intermediates are stereochemically stable under these cross-coupling conditions. A stereospecific cross-coupling reaction of benzylic ethers with alkyl Grignard reagents has been developed. Enantioenriched benzylic ethers, derivatives of easily synthesized chiral secondary alcohols, undergo cross-coupling with high enantiospecificity using an achiral nickel catalyst. The method was applied to the asymmetric synthesis of a biologically active diarylethane, a common structural motif in medicinally relevant compounds. Initial mechanistic studies are consistent with a rate-limiting oxidative addition that is facilitated by a magnesium Lewis-acid. The cross-coupling method has been extended to include aryl Grignard reagents for the asymmetric synthesis of triarylmethanes. The reaction proceeds in high enantiospecificity and employs an ether leaving group capable of chelating to magnesium ions. The method was applied to the asymmetric synthesis of an anti-breast-cancer agent.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Development of synthetic methods for the mild and efficient construction of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds is an active field of research in organic and organometalic chemistry. The utility of such transformations is displayed in their applications to the synthesis of structurally interesting and biologically active compounds. Furthermore, development of new methods can expand our knowledge and understanding of fundamental reactivity of organic and organometallic intermediates. Herein, I report results from two projects: (1) use of reactive sulfenyl chlorides for the synthesis of diaryl and heteroaryl thioethers, and (2) a stereospecific nickel-catalyzed Kumada cross-coupling reaction of benzylic ethers. Both projects emphasize on expanding the scope to include heterocyclic moieties. A mild protocol for the synthesis of thioethers is described. In a one-pot procedure, thiols are converted to sulfenyl chlorides and reacted with arylzinc reagents in the absence of a transition metal catalyst. This method allows for the synthesis of a variety of diaryl and heteroaryl sulfides without the use of harsh reaction conditions or expensive metal catalysts. A stereospecific nickel-catalyzed Kumada cross-coupling reaction of benzylic ethers containing sensitive N-heterocyclic moieties has been developed. To gain access into this class of substrates we have incorporated a traceless activating group that facilitates oxidative addition. Lewis acid activation of an ether moiety by magnesium salts accelerates oxidative addition, resulting in an increased rate of cross-coupling pathway as compared to unfavorable side reactions. Investigation of the reactivity of nickel complexes has allowed for the stereospecific construction of tertiary benzylic carbon stereocenters and expansion of the scope of the nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction to include the use of long chain alkylmagnesium reagents containing beta-hydrogens. This methodology is applied to the synthesis of a number of enantioenriched diarylalkanes, a common structural motif in biologically active complexes. Mechanistic investigations are consistent with a racemization pathway involving a nucleophilic displacement of a pi-benzylnickel intermediate by a low-valent nickel species.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross-coupling technology has become an indispensable tool for the rapid and efficient synthesis of complex molecules. Over the past few decades a foundational understanding of organometallic chemistry has been laid using palladium and other precious metals. Recent research on first row base metal catalysts such as nickel, cobalt and iron has uncovered new and complementary modes of reactivity compared to their more well-studied precious metal counterparts. While nickel sits one row above palladium on the periodic table, ongoing research has illustrated that nickel possesses a unique reactivity profile. Thus, while nickel is commonly thought of as a cheaper alternative to palladium, research in the field of nickel catalysis has demonstrated far more potential than this. The unique propensity of nickel to undergo single electron chemistry as well as its ability to break strong carbon oxygen bonds make research into nickel reactivity an immensely beneficial endeavor to the fields of inorganic, organometallic and synthetic organic chemistry.Chapter 1 describes the development of a stereospecific Suzuki coupling of benzylic carbamates and pivalates with aryl- and heteroarylboronic esters. The reaction proceeds with selective inversion or retention at the electrophilic carbon, depending on the identity of the ligand used. Tricyclohexylphosphine ligand provides products with retention of configuration at the electrophilic carbon, while an N-heterocyclic carbene ligand SIMes provides products with inversion.Chapter 2 discusses the development of a regio- and stereoselective nickel-catalyzed hydroarylation of alkynes using propargylic carbamates as directing groups. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions using arylboronic acids in the absence of base. A range of heterocycles and functional groups are tolerated under the reaction conditions. Additionally, the method is applied to the synthesis of tamoxifen.Chapter 3 details a nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling reaction of benzylic esters and aryl halides. Both inter- and intramolecular variants proceed under mild reaction conditions. A range of heterocycles and functional groups are tolerated under the reaction conditions. Additionally, the first example of a stereospecific cross-electrophile coupling of a secondary benzylic ester is described.Chapter 4 presents secondary benzylzinc reagents generated from 2-pyridylcarbinols using a nickel catalyst and diethylzinc. Substrates are activated in situ using a chlorophosphate reagent. Quenching the organozinc reagents allows for facile deoxygenation of 2-pyridylcarbinols in a one-pot reaction with straightforward incorporation of a deuterium label from deuteromethanol. An intramolecular conjugate addition of a secondary benzylzinc reagent with an alpha,beta-unsaturated ester is also demonstrated.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transition metal catalyzed reactions are indispensable tools for the asymmetric construction of carbon–carbon bonds. Traditionally, cross-coupling reactions have relied on the use of aryl, vinyl or 1° alkyl electrophiles. Advances in asymmetric catalysis have permitted the use of 2° alkyl electrophiles in cross-coupling reactions allowing for the development of several stereoconvergent transformations. Herein, we report a complementary approach to asymmetric cross-coupling reactions by means of the development of stereospecific, nickel-catalyzed transformations of benzylic alcohol derivatives. Our initial efforts were directed toward expanding upon a Kumada cross-coupling reaction of secondary benzylic ethers with methylmagnesium iodide previously reported by the Jarvo laboratory. We extended the scope of this reaction by developing conditions to enable the use of aryl Grignard reagents for the construction of enantioenriched triarylmethanes by stereospecific nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of diaryl methanol derivatives. The reaction proceeds in high enantiospecificity and overall inversion. This methodology is used to prepare a single enantiomer of an anti-breast-cancer agent. Further advances in our cross-coupling methodology are demonstrated in the development of a stereospecific Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of benzylic carbamates and pivolates with aryl- and heteroarylboronic esters. The reaction proceeds with selective inversion or retention at the electrophilic carbon depending on the nature of the ligand. Tricyclohexylphosphine ligand provides product with retention, while an NHC ligand provides product with inversion. The reaction proceeds in high enantiospecificity to afford either enantiomer of a variety of triarylmethanes.Taking advantage of our growing expertise in nickel catalyzed reactions of secondary alkyl electrophiles, we designed the first alkyl Heck reaction with control of stereochemistry at the electrophilic carbon. Enantioenriched methylenecyclopentanes are synthesized by stereospecific, nickel-catalyzed Heck cyclizations of secondary benzylic ethers. The reaction proceeds in high yield and enantiospecificity for benzylic ethers of both [pi]-extended and simple arenes. Ethers with pendant 1,2-disubstituted olefins form trisubstituted olefins with control of both absolute configuration and alkene geometry. The diastereoselective synthesis of a polycyclic furan is demonstrated. In the final chapter of this work, we demonstrate a nickel-catalyzed generation of secondary benzylzinc reagents from 2-pyridyl carbinols that are phosphorylated in situ. A variety of benzylzinc reagents are formed in high yield, allowing for facile hydrogenolysis of 2-pyridyl carbinols. The utility of this transformation is highlighted in a high-yielding intramolecular addition of a secondary benzylzinc reagent to an [alpha],[beta]-unsaturated ester.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transition metal catalyzed reactions are ubiquitous in the realm of synthetic chemistry, allowing for the strategic construction of complex molecular frameworks of pharmaceuticals, natural products, and synthetic materials. Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are part of the foundation of these transformations, insofar as they were recognized with the 2010 Nobel Prize in chemistry. Traditionally, these reactions have relied on aryl and vinyl electrophiles, whereas the alkyl counterparts have only recently begun to emerge in the literature. Nickel has been on the forefront of enantioconvergent alkyl cross--coupling reactions due to its propensity to undergo single electron chemistry. However, under special conditions, it has a unique ability to break strong carbon--oxygen bonds in a stereospecific manner, making research into its reactivity a valuable endeavor to the field of organometallic chemistry.Chapter 1 describes the development of a stereospecific intramolecular alkyl-Heck cyclization of benzylic ethers. The reaction proceeds with inversion at the electrophilic carbon, for the synthesis of methylenecyclopentanes of both extended pi-electron and simple aromatic systems. The enantioenriched products can be effectively derivatized to cyclic alpha-aryl ketones in good yields with good transfer of chirality. Avenues to expand the utility of this reaction have been identified and further studies are ongoing.Chapter 2 discusses the development of nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling reactions of benzylic esters and aryl halides. An intermolecular reaction proceeds in high yields for primary benzylic esters for the synthesis of pharmacologically relevant diarylmethanes. The corresponding intramolecular cyclization proceeds under mild conditions, demonstrating the first example of a stereospecific cross-electrophile coupling of secondary benzylic esters. A variety of heterocyclic and functionalized substrates are tolerated under the reaction conditions.Chapter 3 examines the development a regio- and stereoselective nickel-catalyzed hydroarylation of alkynes with arylboronic acids. The reaction is facilitated by propargyl carbamates as directing groups. The reaction is tolerant of a range of functional groups and heterocycles. Mechanistic studies reveal that the acidic protons of the arylboronic acid coupling partner serve as the origin of hydrogen. Furthermore, the synthesis of tamoxifen can be completed in two steps from a simple hydroarylation product.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the Jarvo lab has developed a range of stereospecific nickel-catalyzed Kumada-type cross-coupling reactions of benzylic electrophiles. This transformation allows for the facile synthesis of asymmetric Csp3 --Csp3 bonds. The focus of this dissertation is on the investigation of a new class of substrates, aryl-substituted cyclic ethers, and their reactivity in our reaction manifold. In addition, applications of this method to the pharmaceutical industry are discussed. Finally, this dissertation focuses on the determination of the active catalyst identity.First, investigations into a novel class of substrates, substituted aryltetrahydrofurans, are described. Substitution at each position of the aryltetrahydrofuran is tolerated by our reaction conditions. Aryl and alkyl Grignard reagents are successfully incorporated into our reaction manifold by use of a pre-formed nickel catalyst. Stereochemical proofs are performed on both substrates and products to confirm the stereochemical course of the reaction.Next, potential applications of our Kumada-type cross-coupling reaction to the pharmaceutical industry are described. An air-stable pre-formed nickel catalyst successfully effected a five gram scale cross-coupling reaction between an aryltetrahydropyran and methyl Grignard reagent. For the first time, isotopically-labeled Grignard reagents are tolerated by our reaction conditions, providing biologically relevant molecules containing isotopic tracers.Finally, an investigation of the active catalyst identity is discussed. Three pre-formed nickel catalysts were synthesized and characterized. These pre-formed catalysts were subjected to the reaction conditions and the product formation rate was monitored by GC assays. Spectroscopic analyses, including EPR and UV-Vis, were undertaken on both pure pre-formed catalysts and reaction mixtures. The data gathered shows an outsized effect of the cod ligand on catalyst stability, as well as the role of Grignard reagent as a reductant in solution. Ultimately, the data suggests the catalytic cycle follows a traditional Ni(0)/Ni(II) path.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transition metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have become a staple of organic synthesis and are frequently the most practical strategy for the preparation of medicinal agents and fine chemicals. Catalysts based on the precious metal palladium are commonly used in cross-coupling reactions. Replacing palladium catalysts with nickel catalysts is an active area of research as such advances present significant benefits including increasing the sustainability of transformations and new mechanisms for control of stereochemistry in the construction of Csp-Csp3 bonds. In Chapter 1, a stereospecific nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of secondary benzylic ethers with a variety of aliphatic and aryl Grignard reagents is presented. The method is highly stereospecific and proceeds with inversion at the benzylic carbon. Products prepared by this method were subject to biological testing, and a thiophene-containing product was shown to selectively inhibit the growth of MCF-7 breast cancer cells. In Chapter 2, mechanistic studies that provide insight into the mechanism of oxidative addition as well as the mechanisms of major side reactions, hydrogenolysis and Îø-hydride elimination, are presented. Experiments presented provide evidence that the mechanisms of cross-coupling, hydrogenolysis, and B-hydride elimination reactions all include a step of oxidative addition with inversion at the benzylic center. Hydrogenolysis was also shown to be stereospecific, proceeding with overall inversion at the stereogenic center. In Chapter 3, the application of nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to the synthesis of either enantiomer of a bioactive triaryl methane from a single enantiomer of a precursor alcohol is presented. In the key cross-coupling step a Kumada protocol allows for cross-coupling with inversion at the benzylic carbon, while a Suzuki reaction allows for cross-coupling with retention.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transition-metal catalysis has enabled the development of an unprecedented number of mild and selective C-C bond-forming reactions. We sought to access the reactivity of palladium and nickel catalysts for two types of transformations: conjugate allylations and sp3-sp3 cross-coupling reactions. Conjugate allylation of malononitriles was evaluated with N-heterocyclic carbene-ligated palladium complexes. The allylation was found to yield a variety of mono-allylated products. These results are in contrast to the bis-allylation of malononitriles using other palladium-based catalysts. Additionally, conjugate addition of [alpha], [beta]-unsaturated N-acylpyrroles was found to be accelerated in the presence of sulfoxide substitution on the pyrrole ring. These substrates are lead compounds for the development of an enantioselective allylation reaction. Transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have become standard practice in organic synthesis. Recent advances in alkyl-alkyl couplings have been transformative in the way organic chemists approach the construction of target molecules. This dissertation focuses on the development of stereospecific sp3-sp3 cross-coupling reactions. We discovered that in the presence of nickel catalysts, secondary benzylic ethers were found to undergo stereospecific substitution reactions with Grignard reagents. Reactions proceeded with inversion of configuration and high stereochemical fidelity. This reaction allows for facile enantioselective synthesis of biologically active diarylethanes from readily available optically enriched carbinols. Subsequently, this reaction was expanded to dialkylzinc reagents and the first stereospecific Negishi cross-coupling reaction of secondary benzylic esters was developed. A series of traceless directing groups were evaluated for their ability to promote cross-coupling with dimethylzinc. Esters with a chelating thioether derived from commercially-available 2-(methylthio)acetic acid were found to be the most effective. The products were formed in high yield and with excellent stereospecificity. A variety of functional groups were tolerated in the reaction including alkenes, alkynes, esters, amines, imides, and O-, S-, and N-heterocycles. The utility of this transformation was highlighted in the enantioselective synthesis of a retinoic acid receptor (RAR) agonist.

Book excerpt: The understanding of the reactivity of strained silacyclopropanes has been expanded to include the reactivity of vinylsilacyclopropanes, formed by silylene transfer to a 1,3-diene. The reactivity of vinylsilacyclopropane with carbonyl compounds has been explored and is shown to yield trans-oxasilacycloheptenes. Trans-Oxasilacycloheptenes are formed stereoselectively as a result of carbonyl insertion through allylic transposition. Trans-Oxasilacycloheptene is a highly strained compound that exhibits elevated reactivity. Trans-Oxasilacycloheptene rearranges at room temperature to vinyloxasilacyclopentane by a 1,3-silyl migration. Trans-Oxasilacycloheptene has been trapped by a variety of methods. Adapting conditions established in the Jarvo laboratory for stereospecific nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of naphthylic ethers with methyl Grignard reagent, work is presented which expands the scope of these reactions to include benzylic ethers. A traceless directing group is employed to facilitate the coupling of this challenging class of substrates. This method is shown to increase the reactivity of benzylic ethers, which is proposed to occur by magnesium salt coordination to the directing group. The reaction proceeds with excellent transfer of stereochemical information. The mechanism of nickel-catalyzed Kumada cross-coupling of naphthylic ethers with methyl Grignard reagent has been studied. The reaction is first order in electrophile, catalyst, and magnesium iodide. The rate of the reaction shows no dependence on methyl magnesium iodide. Competition experiments demonstrate the importance of the traceless directing group for the coupling of benzylic ethers. A method has been developed for the stereospecific nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of naphthylic carbamates with aryl boronic esters. Products with retention or inversion can be formed from the same enantiomer of starting material with proper choice of an achiral catalyst. Phosphine ligand provides product with retention and N-heterocyclic carbene ligand provides products with inversion at the electrophilic carbon.
