Abstract
NHC can catalyze benzoin condensation via the key Breslow intermediate. EPR spectroscopy recently confirmed the existence of the radical species, but its catalytic role is still unclear. Herein, we use density functional approaches to study the radical-associated pathway in comparison with the nonradical mechanism reported previously. Theoretical investigations show that the nonradical path (Δ G⧧ = 18.7 kcal/mol) is more kinetically favorable than the radical route (Δ G⧧ = 27.6 kcal/mol), which is initialized by the hydrogen abstraction from the Breslow intermediate by benzaldehyde, leading to a radical pair. The product formation is thus dominated by the nonradical pathway. In addition, the Breslow intermediate is less stable than its keto form, which blocks the benzoin condensation, and the radical species could play an important role in assisting the tautomerization and promoting the catalytic reaction.

Abstract
The possible mechanisms of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU)-catalyzed chemoselective insertion of N-methyl isatin into aryl difluoronitromethyl ketone to synthesize 3,3-disubstituted and 2,2-disubstituted oxindoles have been studied in this work. As revealed by calculated results, the reaction occurs via two competing paths, including α and β carbonyl paths, and each path contains five steps, that is, nucleophilic addition of DBU to ketone, C-C bond cleavage affording difluoromethylnitrate anion and phenylcarbonyl-DBU cation, nucleophilic addition of difluoromethylnitrate anion to carbonyl carbon of N-methyl isatin, acyl transfer process, and dissociation of DBU and product. The computational results suggest that nucleophilic additions on different carbonyl carbons of N-methyl isatin via α and β carbonyl paths would lead to different products in the third step, and β carbonyl path associated with the main product 3,3-disubstituted oxindole is more energetically favorable, which is consistent with the experimental observations. Noteworthy, electrophilic Parr function can be successfully applied for exactly predicting the activity of reaction site and reasonably explaining the chemoselectivity. In addition, the distortion/interaction and noncovalent interaction analyses show that much more hydrogen bond interactions should be responsible for the lower energy of the transition state associated with β carbonyl path. The obtained insights would be valuable for the rational design of efficient organocatalysts for this kind of reactions with high selectivities.

[PMID: 27905524 PMCID: PMC5131292 DOI: 10.1038/srep38200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2016] [Accepted: 11/04/2016] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Hydroacylation reactions and aza-benzoin reactions have attracted considerable attention from experimental chemists. Recently, Wang et al. reported an interesting reaction of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed addition of aldehyde to enamide, in which both hydroacylation and aza-benzoin reactions may be involved. Thus, understanding the competing relationship between them is of great interest. Now, density functional theory (DFT) investigation was performed to elucidate this issue. Our results reveal that enamide can tautomerize to its imine isomer with the assistance of HCO3-. The addition of NHC to aldehydes formed Breslow intermediate, which can go through cross-coupling with enamide via hydroacylation reaction or its imine isomer via aza-benzoin reaction. The aza-benzoin reaction requires relatively lower free energy barrier than the hydroacylation reaction. The more polar characteristic of C=N group in the imine isomers, and the more advantageous stereoelectronic effect in the carbon-carbon bond forming transition states in aza-benzoin pathway were identified to determine that the imine isomer can react with the Breslow intermediate more easily. Furthermore, the origin of enantioselectivities for the reaction was explored and reasonably explained by structural analyses on key transition states. The work should provide valuable insights for rational design of switchable NHC-catalyzed hydroacylation and aza-benzoin reactions with high stereoselectivity.
