This book was released on 2013 with total page 890 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of new synthetic methods advances the study of chemistry on many fronts, including new drugs for the treatment of human disease and new materials. The copper-catalyzed rearrangement of vinyl heterocycles is one such method, providing access to a wide array of five-membered oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur-containing heterocycles. To harness the true potential of a new methodology, an understanding of the mechanistic underpinnings is required. Utilizing an array of mechanistic tools, the rearrangement of vinyl aziridines is studied in detail. Using mechanistically inspired metal additives, a dramatic acceleration of the rearrangement of vinyl aziridines was realized. Demonstrating the use of in situ reducing agents significantly accelerate the rearrangement, suggesting a copper(I) species is the active catalytic species. This was corroborated through the use of (COD)Cu(hfacac) as a copper(I) starting point. Detailed NMR kinetic studies revealed the relative importance of olefin and sulfonamide electronics, and that the rearrangement is first order in substrate and first order in catalyst. As a result, a new catalytic system was discovered, which provides enhanced chemoselectivity and milder reaction conditions towards five-membered heterocycles. In addition, studying the mechanism provided a new direction for future rational catalyst designs towards more active catalysts, and catalysts for chiral applications, such as asymmetric desymmetrization. To further demonstrate the utility of the new copper(I) catalytic system, an expedient and scalable approach was designed utilizing (COD)Cu(hfacac) in the first total synthesis of members of a family of heterocyclic labdane natural products. Through synthesis, conformation and clarification of the structural assignment of isolated smallmolecules was realized. The route provided access to quantities of material for biological screening purposes, and the versatility of the route could be used to provide synthetic analogues of the natural structures.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter One. Introduction to Catalytic C–C−Bond−Forming Reactions of Alkylcopper(I) Nucleophiles This chapter provides a brief historical perspective on the development of Cucatalyzed C–C−bond-forming reactions and an overview of the general facets of organocopper reactivity that are most important to the work documented in subsequent chapters. Chapter Two: Asymmetric Copper-Hydride-Catalyzed Markovnikov Hydrosilylation of Vinylarenes and Vinyl Heterocycles Copper hydride complexes catalyze highly enantioselective Markovnikov hydrosilylation of vinylarenes and vinyl heterocycles. This method has a broad scope and enables both the synthesis of isolable silanes and the conversion of crude products to chiral alcohols. DFT calculations support a mechanism proceeding by hydrocupration followed by !-bond metathesis with a hydrosilane. Chapter Three: Asymmetric Cu-Catalyzed 1,4−Dearomatization of Pyridines and Pyridazines without Preactivation of the Heterocycle or Nucleophile. A chiral copper hydride complex catalyzes C-C bond-forming dearomatization of pyridines and pyridazines at room temperature. The catalytic reaction operates directly on free heterocycles and generates the nucleophiles in situ, eliminating the need for stoichiometric preactivation of either reaction partner; further, it is one of very few methods available for the enantioselective 1,4−dearomatization of heteroarenes. Combining the dearomatization with facile derivatization steps enables one-pot syntheses of enantioenriched pyridines and piperidines. Chapter Four: Evidence for Simultaneous Dearomatization of Two Arenes Under Mild Conditions in Cu(I)-Catalyzed Direct Asymmetric Dearomatization of Pyridine Bis(phosphine) copper hydride complexes are uniquely able to catalyze the direct dearomatization of unactivated pyridines with carbon nucleophiles, but the mechanistic basis for this result has been unclear. Here we show that, contrary to our initial hypotheses, the catalytic mechanism is monometallic and proceeds via dearomative rearrangement of the phenethylcopper nucleophile to a Cparametalated form prior to reaction at heterocycle C4. Our studies support an unexpected heterocycle-promoted pathway for this net 1,5−Cu−migration beginning with a doubly dearomative imidoyl-Cu-ene reaction. Kinetics, substituent effects, computational modeling, and spectroscopic studies support the involvement of this unusual process. The CuL2 fragment subsequently mediates a stepwise Cope rearrangement of the doubly dearomatized intermediate to give the C4− functionalized 1,4-dihydropyridine, lowering a second barrier in the pathway that otherwise prohibit efficient asymmetric catalysis.

This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 2. Enantioselective CuH-Catalyzed Hydroacylation Employing Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids as Aldehyde Surrogates The direct asymmetric copper hydride (CuH)-catalyzed coupling of [alpha],[beta]-unsaturated carboxylic acids to aryl alkenes is developed to access chiral [alpha]-aryl dialkyl ketones. A variety of substrate substitution patterns, sensitive functional groups and heterocycles are tolerated in this reaction, which significantly expands the range of accessible products compared to existing hydroacylation methodology. Although mechanistic studies are ongoing, we propose that CuH-catalyzed silylation of unsaturated acids occurs to access a uniquely effective acyl electrophilic coupling partner. Chapter 3. CuH-Catalyzed Asymmetric Reduction of [alpha],[beta]-Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids to [beta]-Chiral Aldehydes The copper hydride (CuH)-catalyzed enantioselective reduction of [alpha],[beta]-unsaturated carboxylic acids to saturated aldehydes is reported. This protocol provides a new method to access a variety of [beta]-chiral aldehydes in good yields, with high levels of enantioselectivity and broad functional group tolerance. A reaction pathway involving a ketene intermediate is proposed based on preliminary mechanistic studies and density functional theory calculations. Chapter 4. CuH-Catalyzed Asymmetric Reductive Amidation of [alpha],[beta]-Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids The direct enantioselective copper hydride (CuH)-catalyzed synthesis of [beta]-chiral amides from [alpha],[beta]-unsaturated carboxylic acids and secondary amines under mild reaction conditions is reported. The method utilizes readily accessible carboxylic acids, and tolerates a variety of functional groups at [beta]-position including several heteroarenes. A subsequent iridium-catalyzed reduction to [gamma]-chiral amines can be performed in the same flask without purification of the intermediate amides. Chapter 5. CuH-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydroamidation of Vinylarenes A CuH-catalyzed enantioselective hydroamidation reaction of vinylarenes has been developed using readily accessible 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ones as electrophilic amidating reagents. This method provides a straightforward and efficient approach to synthesize chiral amides in good yields with high levels of enantiopurity under mild conditions. Moreover, this transformation tolerates substrates bearing a broad range of functional groups. Chapter 6. Enantioselective Allylation Using Allene, a Petroleum Cracking Byproduct Allene (C3H4) gas is produced and separated on million-metric-ton scale per year during petroleum refining but is rarely employed in organic synthesis. Meanwhile, the addition of an allyl group (C3H5) to ketones is among the most common and prototypical reactions in synthetic chemistry. Herein, we report that the combination of allene gas with inexpensive and environmentally benign hydrosilanes, such as PMHS, can serve as a replacement for stoichiometric quantities of allylmetal reagents, which are required in most enantioselective ketone allylation reactions. This process is catalyzed by copper catalyst and commercially available ligands, operates without specialized equipment or pressurization, and tolerates a broad range of functional groups. Furthermore, the exceptional chemoselectivity of this catalyst system enables industrially relevant C3 hydrocarbon mixtures of allene with methylacetylene and propylene to be applied directly. Based on our strategy, we anticipate the rapid development of methods that leverage this unexploited feedstock as an allyl anion surrogate. Chapter 7. Synthesis of Pyrroles through the CuH-Catalyzed Coupling of Enynes and Nitriles Herein, we describe an efficient method to prepare polysubstituted pyrroles via a copper-hydride (CuH)- catalyzed enyne-nitrile coupling reaction. This protocol accommodates both aromatic and aliphatic substituents and a broad range of functional groups, providing a variety of N-H pyrroles in good yields and with high regioselectivity. We propose that the Cu-based catalyst promotes both the initial reductive coupling and subsequent cyclization steps. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to help elucidate the reaction mechanism.

Ligand-Controlled Palladium-Catalyzed Regiodivergent Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling of Allylboronates and Aryl Halides An orthogonal set of catalyst systems based on the use of two biarylphosphine ligands has been developed for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of 3,3-disubstituted and 3-monosubstituted allylboronates with (hetero)aryl halides. These methods allow for the regiodivergent preparation of either the ct- or the [gamma]-isomeric coupling product with high levels of site selectivity using a common allylboron building block. Preliminary investigations have demonstrated the feasibility of an enantioselective variant for the [gamma]-selective cross-coupling using chiral monodentate biarylphosphine ligands. Chapter 2. Palladium-Catalyzed Completely Linear-Selective Negishi Coupling of 3,3-Disubstituted Organozinc Reagents with Aryl and Vinyl Electrophiles A palladium-catalyzed general and completely linear-selective Negishi coupling of 3,3- disubstituted allyl organozinc reagents with (hetero)aryl and vinyl electrophiles has been developed. This method provided an effective means for accessing highly functionalized aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds bearing prenyl-type side chains. The utility of the current protocol was further illustrated in the concise synthesis of the anti-HIV natural product siamenol. Chapter 3. Palladium-Catalyzed Highly Selective Negishi Cross-Coupling of Secondary Alkylzinc Reagents with Aryl and Heteroaryl Halides The palladium-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling of secondary alkylzinc reagents and heteroaryl halides with high levels of regioisomeric retention has been described. The development of a series of biarylphosphine ligands has led to the identification of an improved catalyst for the coupling of electron-deficient heterocyclic substrates. Preparation and characterization of oxidative addition complex (L)Pd(Ar)(Br) provided insight into the unique reactivity of palladium catalysts based on CPhos-type biarylphosphine ligands in facilitating challenging reductive elimination processes. Chapter 4. Mechanistic Studies on the Aryl-Trifluoromethyl Reductive Elimination from Pd(II) Complexes Based on Biarylphosphine Ligands A series of monoligated (L)Pd(Ar)(CF3) (L = dialkyl biarylphosphine) have been prepared and studied in an effort to shed light on the mechanism of the aryl-trifluoromethyl reductive elimination from these systems. Combined experimental and computational investigations revealed unique reactivity and binding modes of (L)Pd(Ar)(CF3) complexes derived from BrettPhos-type biarylphosphines. In contrast to a variety of C-C and C-heteroatom bond forming reductive eliminations, kinetic measurements showed this Ar-CF3 reductive elimination is largely insensitive to the electronic nature of the to-be-eliminated aryl substituent. Furthermore, the aryl group serves as the nucleophilic coupling partner in this reductive elimination process. The structure-reactivity relationship of biarylphosphine ligands was also investigated, uncovering distinct roles of the ipso-arene and alkoxy interactions in affecting these reductive elimination reactions. Part II. Copper-Catalyzed Carbon-Carbon and Carbon-Nitrogen Bond Formation via Olefin Functionalization Chapter 5. Copper-Catalyzed ortho C-H Cyanation of Vinylarenes A copper-catalyzed regioselective ortho C-H cyanation of vinylarenes has been developed. This method provides an effective means for the selective functionalization of vinylarene derivatives. A copper-catalyzed cyanative dearomatization mechanism is proposed to account for the regiochemical course of this reaction. This mechanism has been validated through density functional theory calculations. Computational studies revealed that the high level of ortho selectivity in the electrophilic cyanation event originates from a unique six-membered transition state that minimizes unfavorable steric repulsions. Chapter 6. Regio- and Stereospecific 1,3-Allyl Group Transfer Triggered by a Copper-Catalyzed Borylation/ortho-Cyanation Cascade A copper-catalyzed borylation/cyanation/allyl group transfer cascade has been developed. This process features an unconventional copper-catalyzed electrophilic dearomatization followed by the subsequent regio- and stereospecific 1,3-transposition of the allyl fragment enabled by the aromatization-driven Cope rearrangement. This method provides an effective means for the construction of adjacent tertiary and quaternary stereocenters with high levels of stereochemical purity. Chapter 7. Copper-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydroamination of Unactivated Internal Olefins: an Effective Means to Access Highly Enantioenriched Aliphatic Amines Catalytic assembly of enantiopure aliphatic amines from abundant and readily available precursors has long been recognized as a paramount challenge in synthetic chemistry. We describe a mild and general copper-catalyzed hydroamination that effectively converts unactivated internal olefins-an important yet unexploited class of abundant feedstock chemicals-into highly enantioenriched [alpha]-branched amines (>/= 96% ee) featuring two minimally differentiated aliphatic substituents. This method provides a powerful means to access a broad range of advanced, highly functionalized enantioenriched amines of interest in pharmaceutical research and other areas.
