[PMID: 38818050 PMCID: PMC11134361 DOI: 10.1021/jacsau.4c00162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
Conjugated dienes (1,3-dienes) are versatile and valuable chemical feedstocks that can be used as two-carbon or four-carbon synthons with vast applications across the chemical industry. However, the main challenge for their productive incorporation in synthetic routes is their chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective functionalization. Herein, we introduce a unified strategy for the 1,2-hydroarylation and 1,4-trifluoromethylarylation of 1,3-dienes using anilines in hexafluoroisopropanol. DFT calculations point toward a kinetically controlled process in both transformations, particularly in the trifluoromethylarylation, to explain the regiodivergent outcome. In addition, we perform an extensive program of functionalization and diversification of the products obtained, including hydrogenation, oxidation, cyclizations, or cross-coupling reactions, that allows access to a library of high-value species in a straightforward manner.

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
A simple and efficient Rh2(OAc)4/DPPM (bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane) catalyzed regioselective 1,2-anti-Markovnikov hydrosilylation of conjugated dienes with various tertiary silanes gave homoallylic silanes in acetonitrile, which tolerate broad functional groups. Control experiments proved that no π-allyl transition metal intermediates were involved in this 1,2-anti-Markovnikov hydrosilylation. Dirhodium hydride species was observed in hydrosilylation, suggesting that a direct insertion of the terminal double bond into a Rh-H bond is involved in this reaction.

Abstract
Due to the presence of carbon-carbon double bonds, 1,3-dienes exhibit great reactivity. A protocol for the site-selective diarylation of terminal 1,3-dienes is reported here. The transformation is facilitated by the Ni catalyst without the need for additional ligands, utilizing an electrochemical setup. Preliminary results indicate that by introducing chiral ligands moderate enantioselective diarylation products can be obtained. This method affords diversely substituted diarylated products that occur as structural motifs in various natural products.

Abstract
We report a palladium-catalyzed method for 4,3- or 4,1-selective alkenylamination of terminal dienes. Three-component couplings proceed with alkenyl triflates and several amines, giving vicinal carboamination with a Xantphos-supported catalyst and distal difunctionalization with a phosphoramidite ligand. A number of constitutionally different disubstituted dienes also participate in regiodivergent carboaminations. Experimental evidence indicates that selectivity in the Xantphos reactions is largely influenced by the substrate, whereas the phosphoramidite-promoted process is catalyst controlled, orchestrated by a key π-stacking interaction among the ligand, solvent, and substrate.

Abstract
Transition-metal catalyzed intermolecular 1,2-diarylation of electronically unactivated alkenes has emerged as an extensive research topic in organic synthesis. However, most examples are mainly limited to terminal alkenes. Furthermore, transition-metal catalyzed asymmetric 1,2-diarylation of unactivated alkenes still remains unsolved and is a formidable challenge. Herein, we describe a highly efficient directed nickel-catalyzed reductive 1,2-diarylation of unactivated internal alkenes with high diastereoselectivities. More importantly, our further effort towards enantioselective 1,2-diarylation of the unactivated terminal and challenging internal alkenes is achieved, furnishing various polyarylalkanes featuring benzylic stereocenters in high yields and with good to high enantioselectivities and high diastereoselectivities. Interestingly, the generation of cationic Ni-catalyst by adding alkali metal fluoride is the key to increased efficiency of this enantioselective reaction.

Abstract
Density functional theory calculations were employed to investigate the Pd-catalyzed regio-selective hydroallylations of alkynes with allylborons: cooperation of Cu(OAc)2 and dppe resulting in 1,4-dienes while combination of AdCO2H and PCy3 leading to 1,5-dienes. A unified rationalization mechanism called "Lewis-acid-base-interaction promoted deprotonation/3,3-rearrangement" was proposed. Compared with the commonly reported metathesis pathway to only afford the metal-allyl intermediate, in the newly established mechanism, an additional Brønsted acid (as an initiator of the Pd0 oxidative addition) is generated by the interaction of the allylboron (Lewis acid) B atom with the nBuOH (Lewis base) O atom, and subsequent 3,3-rearrangement ensures the thermodynamic feasibility of the reaction. In addition, it was found that excess Cu(OAc)2 plays two potential roles in the oxidative addition/alkyne insertion: (i) the participation of one AcO- of Cu(OAc)2 ensures a large orbital overlap between the migrating H and Pd atoms, facilitating the formal AcO-H cleavage and (ii) the extra (OAc)2Cu···O(carboxyl) σ-coordination indirectly contributes to the (Me)C≡C(Ph) insertion into the Pd-H bond. Further analysis showed that the origin of the regioselectivity is closely related to the employed phosphorus ligand. These revealed results, which have been overlooked in the previous documents, would aid the development of new related catalytic reactions.

Abstract
Developing efficient strategies to realize divergent arylation of dienes has been a long-standing synthetic challenge. Herein, a nickel catalyzed divergent Mizoroki-Heck reaction of 1,3-dienes has been demonstrated through the regulation of ligands and additives. In the presence of Mn/NEt3, the Mizoroki-Heck reaction of dienes delivers linear products under Ni(dppe)Cl2 catalysis in high regio- and stereoselectivities. With the help of catalytic amount of organoboron and NaF, the use of bulky ligand IPr diverts the selectivity from linear products to branched products. Highly aryl-substituted compounds can be transformed from dispersive Mizoroki-Heck products programmatically. Preliminary experimental studies are carried out to elucidate the role of additives.

Abstract
Catalytic, three-component, cross-electrophile reactions have recently emerged as a promising tool for molecular diversification, but studies have focused mainly on the alkyl-carbonations of alkenes. Herein, the scope of this method has been extended to conjugated dienes and silicon chemistry through silylative difunctionalization of 1,3-dienes with chlorosilanes and aryl bromides. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions to afford 1,2-linear-silylated products, a selectivity that is different to those obtained from conventional methods via an intermediary of H(C)-η3 -π-allylmetal species. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that chlorosilane reacts with 1,3-diene first and then couples with aryl bromide.

Abstract
Asymmetric cycloaddition reactions are the most powerful tool to the expeditious construction of enantioenriched cyclic motifs in organic chemistry. In sharp contrast to well-developed cycloaddition reactions via the palladium-trimethylenemethane (Pd-TMM) intermediate, hetero (3 + 2) cycloadditions of the heteroallyl cations remain rare, largely due to their thermally forbidden nature. To the best of our knowledge, there is no example of asymmetric version leading to enantioenriched heterocycles reported so far. Herein we enabled the first example of catalytic asymmetric (3 + 2) cycloaddition of electrophilic palladium-heteroallyl zwitterion intermediate (Pd-OTMM or Pd-NTMM) with cyclic or acyclic 1,3-dienes via a pathway terminated with C-N or C-O bond formation, delivering the highly substituted or fused pyrrolidine and tetrahydrofuran rings in high yields with excellent regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity. Engineering the PC-Phos, one of the chiral sulfinamide phosphine (Sadphos) type ligands, by introducing the di-tert-butyl or/and 3,5-difluorophenyl group is a vital component in achieving excellent catalytic reactivity and enantioselectivity.
