This book was released on 2015 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Chapter 1, an overview of the literature of palladium-catalyzed carbenylative coupling reaction was reviewed. Palladium alkylidene intermeditates derived from N-tosylhydrazones and diazo compounds were used in the carbenylative reactions with facile beta-hydride elimination, which erased the stereogenic center formed during carbene insertion. The review also covered palladium-catalyzed carbenylative coupling reaction without beta-hydride elimination.In Chapter 2, a palladium-catalyzed three-component intermolecular carbenylative amination and alkylation reaction of vinyl iodides, N-tosylhydrazones and nucleophiles were successfully carried out to yield products resulting from nucleophilic attack on the least hindered side of the &eegr;3 -allylpalladium complexes. With the optimized reaction conditions, a variety of N-tosylhydrazones and nucleophiles were explored. The reaction works well with cyclic secondary amines and stabilized enolates and moderately with primary amines. A variety of alkyl N -tosylhydrazones have been demonstrated to work with the reaction conditions as well. Good yields were obtained under conditions that minimized the palladium-catalyzed ionization of allylic amines and addition of metalated hydrazones to &eegr;3-allylpalladium complexes.In Chapter 3, vinyl iodides, carbon or nitrogen based nucleophiles and trimethylsilyldiazomethane (TMSD) were utilized to form vinylsilanes via palladium-catalyzed carbenylative cross-coupling reactions. These vinylsilanes were then subjected to iododesilylation conditions to generate new vinyl iodides capable of undergoing a second palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction. This two-step process could be used iteratively to form new C-C and C-N bonds that quickly increased molecular complexity.

Book excerpt: It is over 100 years since scientists first postulated the existence of arynes as reactive intermediates. Their use in organic synthesis is now well-established and investigations into novel methods for their generation and utility in carbon-carbon bond forming reactions continue to this day. In 1983 Kobayashi and co-workers introduced a novel method of generating benzyne under mild conditions, using a fluoride induced decomposition of 2-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl triflate 1. This development has opened the door to employing arynes in a variety of transitionmetal mediated carbon-carbon bond forming processes. Intermolecular carbopalladation, in particular, stands out as a powerful methodology for the construction of diverse 1,2-functionalised arenes through multi-component coupling processes. Initial benzyne carbopalladation with an organopalladium species produces the arylpalladium intermediate 3, which can then undergo a second coupling to any one of the vast numbers of nucleophiles that have been demonstrated to work in palladium cross coupling. Presented herein are investigations towards the realisation of such methodology. Initial efforts focussed on its application to the Heck reaction, using acryates as the nucleophilic component. The chemistry has been developed to incorporate a variety of organo-halides in order to generate a variety of molecular architectures; the resultant 1,2-substituted diaryls being useful in the synthesis of both natural products and medicinal chemistry targets. Following successful development of the Heck reaction, investigations of other palladium catalysed couplings were also undertaken, in particular the Buchwald reaction. Initial mechanistic studies are also discussed.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work focuses on the use of N-tosylhydrazones derived from alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes -- precursors to vinylcarbene ligands -- in palladium-catalyzed carbenylative cross-coupling and carbenylative amination reactions. These carbenylative reactions were used to form eta3-allylpalladium intermediates that generate stereogenic centers at the carbene center. An initial acyclic model system was used to intercept a well-known prochiral 1,3-diphenylallyl intermediate to probe the feasibility of enantioselectivity in a palladium-catalyzed carbenylative reaction as a proof of concept for asymmetric carbenylation. Following the proof of concept, the substrate scope was expanded to include aliphatic vinyl hydrazones in order to install prenyl functional groups. Conditions to form isoindolines and tetrahydroisoquinolines, present in many natural products, were developed by employing amine-tethered aryl iodides. The isoindoline model system established that kinetic 5-membered ring formation is preferred over thermodynamic 7-membered ring formation and that under our reaction conditions the cyclization is not reversible. Use of N-tosylhydrazones that generate unsymmetrical eta3-allylpalladium intermediates that cannot racemize through eta3-eta1-eta3 isomerization provided evidence consistent with migratory insertion as the step responsible for enantioselection in the catalytic cycle. Promising ees are demonstrated indicating that selection of the right chiral ligand and reaction conditions could lead to high levels of enantioselection. Finally, formation of 6-membered ring systems proved challenging in comparison to 5-membered and acyclic systems but provided beneficial information about N-tosylhydrazone decomposition rates and reactivity effects seen from ortho-substitution on the aryl iodide. These results provide new insights into the mechanism of asymmetric palladium-catalyzed carbenylative cross-coupling and carbenylative amination and provide a foundation for future method development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The formation of stereogenic C-C bonds via transition metal catalysis has become an indispensible tool for synthetic chemists. Palladium-carbene complexes offer new disconnections in cross-couplings and C-C bond formations. The doctoral studies detailed herein have focused on the development of catalytic methods for the construction of C-C and C-N bonds via a variety of Pd-carbene intermediates. These efforts and the preliminary studies of asymmetric induction in Pd-carbenylation are discussed in this thesis. Palladium-catalyzed carbenylative cross-coupling reactions are gaining increasing attention as analogs of carbonylative reactions with carbon monoxide. The insertion of carbene ligands creates a new stereogenic center, which warrants their detailed study. Early applications of insertional cross-couplings involved exclusively commercially available diazo compounds such as trimethylsilyl diazomethane (TMSD). Efforts to access phenylcarbenes by analogous diazo compounds have been obviated by the highly reactive nature of unstabilized aryldiazomethanes. Alternatively, metalated N-tosylhydrazones decompose to generate aryldiazo compounds and were found to produce metal-carbene intermediates in situ. In an effort to expand the scope of palladium-carbenylations, vinyl iodide 1a was employed to test the participation of N-tosylhydrazones as phenylcarbene precursors in carbenylative aminations. The optimization and broad substrate scope of the reaction led to the total synthesis of the alkaloid natural caulophyllumine B. The carbenylative amination also led to the discovery of a novel palladium (0) catalyzed dimerization reaction of [omega]-aminovinylhalides. The dimerization was optimized and found to be a selective method for aminocyclizations to form pyrrolidines and piperidines. Results from a crossover experiment were most consistent with the intermediacy of a palladium(0)alkylidene intermediate. Mechanistically, we hypothesized that the bispyrrolidines were arising from Pd-carbene intermediates. Since carbene intermediates are known to be precursors to cyclopropanes, we showed that they could be trapped with norbornadiene. We were able to exploit the transient carbene intermediates to selectively form cyclopropanes or bis-pyrrolidines. Upon optimization of reaction conditions, cyclopropanation was achieved with a variety of vinyl halides. These results provide a rare example of vinyl halides serving as metal-carbene precursors. These results coupled with those from the dimerization of vinyl halides offer a new mechanistic insight into palladium-catalysis.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 1: Breaking the Base Barrier: An Electron-Deficient Palladium Catalyst Enables the Use of a Common Soluble Base in C-N Coupling Due to the low intrinsic acidity of amines, palladium-catalyzed C-N cross-coupling plagued continuously by the necessity to employ strong, inorganic, or insoluble bases. To surmount the many Due to the low intrinsic acidity of amines, palladium-catalyzed C-N crosscoupling has been practical obstacles associated with these reagents, we utilized a commercially available dialkyl triarylmonophosphine-supported palladium catalyst that facilitates a broad range of C-N coupling reactions in the presence of weak, soluble bases. The mild and general reaction conditions show extraordinary tolerance for even highly base-sensitive functional groups. Additionally, insightful heteronuclear NMR studies using −15N-labeled amine complexes provide evidence for the key acidifying effect of the cationic palladium center. Chapter 2: Pd-Catalyzed C-N Coupling Reactions Facilitated by Organic Bases: Mechanistic Investigation Leads to Enhanced Reactivity in the Arylation of Weakly Binding Amines The ability to use soluble organic amine bases in Pd-catalyzed C-N cross-coupling reactions has provided a long-awaited solution to the many issues associated with employing traditional, heterogeneous reaction conditions. However, little is known about the precise function of these bases in the catalytic cycle or about the effect of variations in base structure on catalyst reactivity. We used 19F NMR to analyze the kinetic behavior of C-N coupling reactions facilitated by different organic bases. In the case of aniline coupling reactions employing DBU, the resting state was a DBU-bound oxidative addition complex, LPd(DBU)(Ar)X, and the reaction was found to be inhibited by base. Generally, however, depending on the binding properties of the chosen organic base, increasing the concentration of the base can have a positive or negative influence on the reaction rate. Furthermore, the electronic nature of the aryl triflate employed in the reaction directly affects the reaction rate. The fastest reaction rates were observed with electronically neutral aryl triflates, while the slowest were observed with highly electron-rich and electrondeficient substrates. We propose a model in which the turnover-limiting step of the catalytic cycle is dependent on the relative nucleophilicity of the base, compared to that of the amine. This hypothesis guided the discovery of new reaction conditions for the coupling of weakly binding amines, including secondary aryl amines, which were unreactive nucleophiles in our original protocol. Chapter 3: Use of a Droplet Platform to Optimize Pd-Catalyzed C-N Coupling Reactions Promoted by Organic Bases Recent advances in Pd-catalyzed carbon-nitrogen cross-coupling have enabled the use of soluble organic bases instead of insoluble or strong inorganic bases that are traditionally employed. The single-phase nature of these reaction conditions facilitates their implementation in continuous flow systems, high-throughput optimization platforms, and large-scale applications. In this work, we utilized an automated microfluidic optimization platform to determine optimal reaction conditions for the couplings of an aryl triflate with four types of commonly employed amine nucleophiles: anilines, amides, primary aliphatic amines, and secondary aliphatic amines. By analyzing trends in catalyst reactivity across different reaction temperatures, base strengths, and base concentrations, we have developed a set of general recommendations for Pd-catalyzed crosscoupling reactions involving organic bases. The optimization algorithm determined that the catalyst supported by the dialkyltriarylmonophosphine ligand AlPhos was the most active in the coupling of each amine nucleophile. Furthermore, our automated optimization revealed that the phosphazene base BTTP can be used to facilitate the coupling of secondary alkylamines and aryl triflates. Chapter 4: The Quest for the Ideal Base: Rational Design of a Nickel Precatalyst Enables Mild, Homogeneous C-N Cross-Coupling Palladium-catalyzed amination reactions using soluble organic bases have provided a solution to the many issues associated with heterogeneous reaction conditions. Still, homogeneous C-N crosscoupling approaches cannot yet employ bases as weak and economical as trialkylamines. Furthermore, organic base-mediated methods have not been developed for Ni(0/II) catalysis, despite some advantages of such systems over analogous Pd-based catalysts. We designed a new air-stable and easily prepared Ni(II) precatalyst bearing an electron-deficient bidentate phosphine ligand that enables the cross-coupling of aryl triflates with aryl amines using triethylamine (TEA) as base. The method is tolerant of sterically-congested coupling partners, as well as those bearing base- and nucleophile-sensitive functional groups. With the aid of density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we determined that the electron-deficient auxiliary ligands decrease both the pK[subscript a] of the Ni-bound amine and the barrier to reductive elimination from the resultant Ni(II)-amido complex. Moreover, we determined that precluding Lewis acid-base complexation between the Ni catalyst and the base, due to steric factors, is important for avoiding catalyst inhibition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although sygma-aryl and sygma-vinylpalladium(II) complexes are commonly used as electrophiles in C--C bond forming reactions, recent research has demonstrated that the same palladium intermediates can also react with carbon-heteroatom multiple bonds in a nucleophilic manner. Continuing with the interest of our group on the palladium-catalysed intramolecular coupling of aryl halides whit carbonyl compounds, we have expanded our previous findings to substrates containing other carbon-heteroatom multiple bonds. In this context, the first objective of the PhD Thesis has been the study of the dual nature of the sygma-arylpalladium(II) species in aldehyde containing compounds. Thus, after some preliminary studies on the ambiphilic character of the sygma-arylpalladium(II) intermediates involved in the palladium-catalysed intramolecular reactions of (2-iodoanilino)-aldehydes, we have described an efficient new methodology for the synthesis of dibenzo[b, e]azepin-11-ones based on the intramolecular acylation of aryl iodides with aldehydes. Continuing whit our interest in these nucleophilic addition processes, we have developed an efficient methodology for the preparation of a small library of tetrahydroisoquinolin-4-ols based on the palladium-catalysed intramolecular nucleophilic addition of a-(2-iodobenzylamino)- aldehydes. Finally, we have expanded the influence of the heteroatom (nitrogen, oxygen, and sulphur) on the course of the palladium-catalysed intramolecular reactions of aryl iodides and aldehydes having heteroatom--containing tethers. Through an extensive experimental-computational (DFT) study we have concluded that the nature of the heteroatom in the tether is not decisive for the outcome of these reactions. Continuing our research for methodologies that help us to increase the synthetic potential of organopalladium chemistry, we decide to investigate the feasibility of the palladium-catalysed intramolecular coupling of aryl halides and diazoderivatives as a methodology for the synthesis of nitrogen heterocycles. So, the second objective was the study of the Pd-catalysed intramolecular coupling of aryl halides with N-tosylhydrazones and sygma-diazoesters in nitrogen containing substrates. We have found that palladium can be used to catalyse the C(sp3)-H insertion of metal carbenoids derived from sygma-diazoesters to form pyrrolidines through intramolecular assembly of C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds. This reaction is the first example of palladium-catalyzed C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond assembly starting from diazocarbonyl compounds. The coupling reaction can be catalyzed by both Pd(0) and Pd(II), is regioselective, and shows a broad functional group tolerance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 1: This chapter describes a general method for the of the Pd-catalyzed N-arylation of hindered [alpha],[alpha],[alpha]-trisubstituted primary amines. The reaction utilized catalysts based on two biaryl phosphine ligands, which were developed via kinetics-based mechanistic analysis and rational design. These studies led to the first example of catalyst based on a hybrid (alkyl)aryl biaryl phosphine ligand that provides better results that its dialkyl- or diarylbiaryl analogues. The C-N coupling was efficient for a wide range of (hetero)aryl chlorides and bromides under mild conditions. Chapter 2: This chapter relates the development of the Pd-catalyzed C-O coupling of primary alkyl alcohols. The reaction of primary aliphatic alcohols bearing [beta]-hydrogen atoms can lead to undesired [beta]-hydride elimination pathways instead of the target reductive elimination from the [LPd(Ar)OAlk] intermediate, especially when using electron-rich aryl halides. Additionally, aryl chlorides have been shown to be more challenging coupling partners than the corresponding aryl bromides. The use of catalysts based on commercially available ligand t-BuBrettPhos and a novel hybrid ligand, AdCyBrettPhos, have allowed the C-O coupling reaction to proceed effectively at room temperature, minimizing the side reaction. A variety of functionalized primary alcohols have been successfully coupled with (hetero)aryl bromides and chlorides giving rise to medicinally interesting products. Chapter 3: This chapter is a compilation of the applications of Pd-catalyzed C-N coupling in various fields of chemical research since 2008. This work includes the reactions of nine classes of nitrogen-based coupling partners in the 1) synthesis of heterocycles, 2) medicinal chemistry, 3) process chemistry, 4) synthesis of natural products, 5) organic materials and chemical biology, and 6) synthesis of ligands. The large number of applications highlights the versatility and utility of this transformation both in academic and industrial settings.
