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 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 2017 with total page 615 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation focuses on nickel-catalyzed cross-couplings of amine and alcohol derivatives to set stereogenic centers. Chapter 1 focuses on the cross-coupling of benzylic ammonium triflates with aryl, heteroaryl, and vinyl boronic acids. This method expands the scope of previous methods from our group, utilizing Ni(cod)2 without any additional phosphine or N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands. This reaction allows for cross-coupling of both naphthyl and phenyl substituted ammonium salts. The mild conditions of this reaction displays excellent functional group tolerance. ☐ Chapter 2 focuses on the cross-coupling of benzylic ammonium triflates with bis(pinacolato)diboron to afford secondary benzylic boronates with excellent chirality transfer, This reaction utilizes Ni(cod)2 as a catalyst with either phosphine or NHC ligands. The reaction proceeds with mild reaction conditions and excellent functional group tolerance. It allows for the cross-coupling of both naphthyl and phenyl substituted ammonium salts. This is the first example of a Miyaura borylation of a non-allylic electrophile to deliver products in highly enantioenriched form. ☐ Chapter 3 describes the development of the cross-coupling of tertiary benzylic acetates to form all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. This reaction prioritizes the use of an air-stable nickel(II) catalyst and environmentally friendly 2-Me-THF. The mild reaction conditions allow for excellent functional group tolerance. The reaction provides an efficient route to both di-aryl and tri-aryl quaternary stereocenters in high stereochemical fidelity. This method shows an expansion in transition metal catalysis to go beyond electrophiles adjacent to functional groups such as carbonyls and alkenes, and displays the possibility for tertiary benzylic electrophiles to under go transition metal catalysis. ☐ Chapter 4 focuses on the cross-coupling of enantioenriched allylic pivalates with aryl and heteroaryl borxines to form allylic, all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. This utilizes an air-stable nickel (II) catalyst, and functional group tolerant boroxine coupling partners to afford these quaternary stereocenters with high stereochemical fidelity. This reaction provides a powerful way to readily access allylic quaternary stereocenters with substituted internal alkenes and a variety of functional groups and heteroatoms in high yield and enantioenrichment

This book was released on 2016 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 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: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transition metal-catalyzed cross-couplings provide a powerful means to assemble carbon-carbon (C-C) and carbon-heteroatom (C-X) bonds. Although Pd catalysis is most commonly used in these transformations, Ni catalysis offers a valuable alternative due to the low cost and high reactivity of Ni. More importantly, Ni catalysis has proven effective for the activation of traditionally inert carbon-heteroatom bonds and therefore provides exciting opportunities with regard to chemical reactivity and synthetic applications. Chapter one, two, and three describe the development of practical cross-coupling methodologies. Chapter one explains the amination of aryl sulfamates and carbamates that relies on an air-stable Ni(II) precatalyst. Chapter two introduces the development of green cross-couplings of phenolic derivatives and aryl halides to form biaryls. Subsequently, the couplings of heterocycles, which are commonly encountered in natural product synthesis and in the pharmaceutical sector, are described. Chapter three describes the development of green cross-couplings of aryl sulfamates and chlorides to form aryl amines. Chapter four and seven concern the utility of amides as electrophilic cross-coupling partners. These traditionally unreactive moieties are activated by nickel and coupled to alcohols to form acyl C-O bonds. This study suggests that amides may serve as useful building blocks to construct carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. Chapter four describes the development of nickel-catalyzed activation of benzamides and chapter seven introduces the development of nickel-catalyzed activation of aliphatic amide derivatives. Chapter five describes the nickel-catalyzed activation of the acyl carbon-oxygen bonds of methyl esters through an oxidative addition process. The oxidative addition adducts, formed using nickel catalysis, undergo in situ trapping to provide anilide products. DFT calculations are used to support the proposed reaction mechanism, understand why decarbonylation does not occur competitively, and to elucidate the beneficial role of the substrate structure and Al(OtBu)3 additive on the kinetics and thermodynamics of the reaction. Chapter six focus on the nickel-catalyzed Heck cyclization for the construction of quaternary stereocenters. This transformation is demonstrated in the synthesis of 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles, which are prevalent motifs seen in bioactive molecules.

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: 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 2020 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation describes efforts in the field of nickel-catalyzed amide C-N bond activations and studies toward the total synthesis of dodecahedrane. Although amide C-N bonds are generally considered inert, recent progress in the activation of these bonds has allowed for their use as synthetic building blocks. Herein, several nickel-catalyzed transformations of amides and strategies to improve the practicality of these reactions are outlined. Each of these studies highlights the utility of nickel catalysis and amides in the context of organic synthesis. Furthermore, a synthetic strategy for and experimental progress toward the synthesis of dodecahedrane are reported. The realization of this total synthesis is expected to push our understanding of molecular reactivity and represent a milestone in the field of total synthesis. Chapters one, two, and three describe the development of transformations and experimental techniques that improve the scope and practicality of nickel-catalyzed activations of aryl amide C-N bonds. More specifically, chapter one describes a nickel-catalyzed alkylation of amides to access aryl-alkyl ketone products. This catalytic methodology represents a mild approach to synthesizing these products that is complementary to the Weinreb ketone synthesis. Chapter two details a strategy for the benchtop delivery of Ni(cod)2. The air- and moisture-sensitivity of this important nickel precatalyst limits its general utility. By utilizing paraffin-Ni(cod)2 capsules, a variety of nickel-catalyzed transformations, including aryl amide cross-couplings, can be performed outside of a glovebox. Chapter three outlines efforts to deploy paraffin-Ni(cod)2 capsules in an undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory. Through the use of these reagents in an esterification of an aryl amide, students gain meaningful insights into frontiers in cross-coupling research, nickel catalysis, and the use of amides in synthetic organic chemistry. Chapters four and five are concerned with the development of nickel-catalyzed transformations of aliphatic amides. Chapter four specifically details efforts to develop a nickel-catalyzed transamidation of aliphatic secondary amides. Through the use of a two-step activation-cross-coupling approach, we have achieved a mild and general solution to this long-standing problem in organic chemistry. Chapter five describes a method for performing arylations of aliphatic amides on the benchtop. By employing paraffin-Ni(cod)2/Benz-ICy[TM]HCl capsules, Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings of aliphatic amides to generate aryl-alkyl ketones can be achieved without the need for glovebox manipulations. Both of these studies expand the field of nickel-catalyzed amide C-N bond activations and promote amides as useful synthetic building blocks. Chapter six illustrates a chemoenzymatic approach to enantioselective transformations of amides. The development of a one-pot Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling and ketoreductase-mediated reduction allows for rapid, selective access to enantioenriched alcohol products from amides. This methodology represents the first enantioselective transformation of amides that relies on amide C-N bond activation and is expected to guide the development of other asymmetric transformations of amides. Finally, chapter seven details a strategy for the total synthesis of the complex hydrocarbon dodecahedrane. Our proposed symmetry-based approach to this fascinating icosahedral molecule relies on an ambitious [2+2+2+2+2] cyclization to assemble five key C-C bonds in a single synthetic operation. Current efforts to synthesize the necessary substrate for the [2+2+2+2+2] cyclization are detailed. If successful, these studies should provide efficient access to dodecahedrane and are expected to lead to insights into new modes of reactivity.
