J Comput Chem 2024; 45:610-621. [PMID: 38058240 DOI: 10.1002/jcc.27277] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 11/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
The development of the catalytic regio- and enantioselective hydrofunctionalization of 1,3-dienes remains a challenge and requires deep insight into the reaction mechanisms. We herein thoroughly studied the reaction mechanism of the Ni-catalyzed hydroalkylation of 1,3-dienes with ketones by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. It reveals that the reaction is initiated by stepwise oxidative addition of EtO-H followed by 1,3-diene migratory insertion to generate the alkylnickel(II) intermediate, rather than the experimentally proposed ligand-to-ligand hydrogen transfer (LLHT) mechanism. In addition, we rationalized the role of t BuOK in the subsequent addition of enolate of ketone and transmetalation process. Based on the whole catalysis, the CC reductive elimination step, turns out to be the rate- and enantioselectivity-determining step. Furthermore, we disclosed the origins of the regio- and enantioselectivity of the product, and found that the 1,2-selectivity lies in the combination effects of the ligand-substrate electrostatic interactions, orbital interactions and Pauli repulsions, while the enantioselectivity mainly arises from substrate-ligand steric repulsions. Based on mechanistic study, new biaryl bisphosphine ligands affording higher enantioselectivity were designed, which will help to improve current catalytic systems and develop new transition-metal-catalyzed hydroalkylations.

Abstract
ConspectusDue to the rarity of precious metals like palladium, nickel catalysis is becoming an increasingly important player in organic synthesis, especially for the formation of bonds with sp3-hybridized carbon centers. Traditionally, catalytic processes involving active Ni(0) species have relied on Ni(COD)2 or in situ reduction of Ni(II) salts. However, Ni(COD)2 is an air- and temperature-sensitive material that requires use in an inert-atmosphere glovebox, and in situ reduction protocols of Ni(II) salts using metallic or organometallic reductants add additional complications to reaction development.This Account chronicles the development of air-stable Ni(0) precursors as replacements for Ni(COD)2 or in situ reduction. Based on Schrauzer's seminal discovery of Ni(COD)(DQ) as an air-stable zerovalent organonickel complex, our research laboratories at Scripps Research and Bristol Myers Squibb have developed a class of precatalysts based on the Ni(COD)(EDD) (EDD = electron-deficient diene) framework, relying on the steric and electronic properties of the supporting diene to render the metal center stable to air, moisture, and even silica gel but reactive to ligand substitution and redox changes.The stable Ni(0) complexes can be accessed through ligand exchange with Ni(COD)2, through reduction of Ni(acac)2 using DIBAL-H, or electrochemically via cathodic reduction of Ni(acac)2 to Ni(COD)2, followed by addition of an EDD ligand in one pot. As a toolkit, the complexes demonstrate reactivity that is equivalent or enhanced compared to Ni(COD)2, catalyzing C-C and C-N cross-couplings, Miyaura borylations, C-H activations, and other transformations. Since the initial report on Ni(COD)(DQ), its reactivity in C(sp2)-CN activation, metallophotoredox, and electric field-induced cross-coupling have also been demonstrated.By incorporating the precatalyst toolkit into reaction discovery campaigns, our laboratories have been able to perform C(sp3)-S(alkyl) couplings and metallonitrenoid carboamination, both of which represent challenging transformations that were inaccessible with traditional phosphine, nitrogen, or electron-deficient olefin ligands. Computational and experimental studies demonstrate how the quinone ligands are hemilabile, adopting η1(O)-bound geometries to relieve steric strain or stabilize transition states and intermediates; redox-active, able to transiently oxidize the metal center; and electron-withdrawing or -donating, depending on metal oxidation state and coordination geometry. These studies show how the ligands enable key steps in catalysis beyond imparting air-stability.Since our report documenting the catalytic activity of Ni(COD)(DQ), many other laboratories have also observed unique reactivity with this precatalyst. Ni(COD)(DQ) was found to offer superior reactivity to Ni(COD)2 in C-N cross coupling to form N,N-diaryl sulfonamides and in preparation of biaryls from aryl halides and benzene through a Ni-mediated, base-assisted homolytic aromatic substitution.

Abstract
The development of efficient and sustainable methods for the construction of carbon-carbon bonds with the simultaneous stereoselective generation of vicinal stereogenic centers is a longstanding goal in organic chemistry. Low-valent nickel(0) complexes which promote α-functionalization of carbonyls leveraging its pro-nucleophilic character in conjunction with suitable olefin acceptors are scarce. We report a Ni(0)NHC catalyst which selectively converts ketones and non-conjugated dienes to synthetically highly valuable α-allylated products. The catalyst directly activates the α-hydrogen atom of the carbonyl substrate transferring it to the olefin acceptor. The transformation creates adjacent quaternary and tertiary stereogenic centers in a highly diastereoselective and enantioselective manner. Computational studies indicate the ability of the Ni(0)NHC catalyst to trigger a ligand-to-ligand hydrogen transfer process from the ketone α-hydrogen atom to the olefin substrate, setting the selectivity of the process. The shown selective functionalization of the α-C-H bond of carbonyl groups by the Ni(0)NHC catalyst opens up new opportunities to exploit sustainable 3d-metal catalysis for a stereoselective access to valuable chiral building blocks.

Abstract
We report herein a Cu-catalyzed regio-, diastereo- and enantioselective acylboration of 1,3-butadienylboronate with acyl fluorides. Under the developed conditions, the reactions provide (Z)-β,γ-unsaturated ketones bearing an α-tertiary stereocenter with high Z-selectivity and excellent enantioselectivities. While direct access to highly enantioenriched E-isomers was not successful, we showed that such molecules can be synthesized with excellent E-selectivity and optical purities via Pd-catalyzed alkene isomerization from the corresponding Z-isomers. The orthogonal chemical reactivities of the functional groups embedded in the ketone products allow for diverse chemoselective transformations, which provides a valuable platform for further derivatization.

Abstract
The catalytic asymmetric inverse-electron-demand oxa-Diels-Alder (IODA) reaction is a highly effective synthetic method for creating enantioenriched six-membered oxygen-containing heterocycles. Despite significant effort in this area, simple α,β-unsaturated aldehydes/ketones and nonpolarized alkenes are seldom utilized as substrates due to their low reactivity and difficulties in achieving enantiocontrol. This report describes an intermolecular asymmetric IODA reaction between α-bromoacroleins and neutral alkenes that is catalyzed by oxazaborolidinium cation 1f. The resulting dihydropyrans are produced in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities over a broad range of substrates. The use of acrolein in the IODA reaction produces 3,4-dihydropyran with an unoccupied C6 position in the ring structure. This unique feature is utilized in the efficient synthesis of (+)-Centrolobine, demonstrating the practical synthetic utility of this reaction. Additionally, the study found that 2,6-trans-tetrahydropyran can undergo efficient epimerization into 2,6-cis-tetrahydropyran under Lewis acidic conditions. This structural core is widespread in natural products.

Abstract
A flurry of recent research has centered on harnessing the power of nickel catalysis in organic synthesis. These efforts have been bolstered by contemporaneous development of well-defined nickel (pre)catalysts with diverse structure and reactivity. In this report, we present ten different bench-stable, 18-electron, formally zero-valent nickel-olefin complexes that are competent pre-catalysts in various reactions. Our investigation includes preparations of novel, bench-stable Ni(COD)(L) complexes (COD=1,5-cyclooctadiene), in which L=quinone, cyclopentadienone, thiophene-S-oxide, and fulvene. Characterization by NMR, IR, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, cyclic voltammetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and natural bond orbital analysis sheds light on the structure, bonding, and properties of these complexes. Applications in an assortment of nickel-catalyzed reactions underscore the complementary nature of the different pre-catalysts within this toolkit.

Abstract
In this Letter, a catalytic diastereoselective hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of α-haloacroleins with less polarized alkenes was developed, and the resulting 3,4-dihydropyrans were produced in high yields with a broad substate scope. Mechanism studies showed that 3,4-dihydropyran was produced from the ring expansion of cyclobutane, which was generated in the ring contraction of the initially formed unstable 3,4-dihydropyran conformer.

Abstract
Herein, we report an iridium-catalyzed branched-selective hydroacylation of 1-aryl 1,3-dienes with salicylaldehydes under mild conditions with no need of phosphine ligands. With this protocol, a series of α-branched β,γ-unsaturated o-hydroxyacetophenones with biological potentials were synthesized in high efficiency with excellent regioselectivities. When simple 1,3-butadiene or isoprene instead of 1-aryl 1,3-dienes were used, exclusive linear-selective hydroacylation products were obtained.

Abstract
Developing efficient and selective strategies to approach complex architectures containing (multi)stereogenic centers has been a long-standing synthetic challenge in both academia and industry. Catalytic cascade reactions represent a powerful means of rapidly leveraging molecular complexity from simple feedstocks. Unfortunately, carrying out cascade Heck-type reactions involving unactivated (tertiary) alkyl halides remains an unmet challenge owing to unavoidable β-hydride elimination. Herein, we show that a modular, practical, and general palladium-catalyzed, radical three-component coupling can indeed overcome the aforementioned limitations through an interrupted Heck/allylic substitution sequence mediated by visible light. Selective 1,4-difunctionalization of unactivated 1,3-dienes, such as butadiene, has been achieved by employing different commercially available nitrogen-, oxygen-, sulfur-, or carbon-based nucleophiles and unactivated alkyl bromides (>130 examples, mostly >95:5 E/Z, >20:1 rr). Sequential C(sp3)-C(sp3) and C-X (N, O, S) bonds have been constructed efficiently with a broad scope and high functional group tolerance. The flexibility and versatility of the strategy have been illustrated in a gram-scale reaction and streamlined syntheses of complex ether, sulfone, and tertiary amine products, some of which would be difficult to access via currently established methods.
