Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202408603. [PMID: 38980976 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202408603] [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: 05/07/2024] [Revised: 06/29/2024] [Accepted: 07/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/11/2024]
Abstract
Pd(II)-catalyzed enantioselective C-H activation has emerged as a versatile platform for constructing point, axial, and planar chirality. Herein, we present an unexpected discovery of a Pd-catalyzed enantioselective cascade β,γ-methylene C(sp3)-H diarylation of free carboxylic acids using bidentate chiral mono-protected amino thioether ligands (MPAThio), enabling one-step synthesis of a complex chiral 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene scaffolds with high enantioselectivity. In this process, two methylene C(sp3)-H bonds and three C(sp2)-H bonds were activated, leading to the formation of four C-C bonds and three chiral centers in one pot. A plausible catalytic pathway starts with enantioselective β,γ-dehydrogenation to form chiral β,γ-cyclohexene. Intriguingly, this olefin serves as a norbornene-type reagent (presumably assisted by the carboxyl directing effect), relaying two successive Catellani arylation reactions and a C-H arylation reaction to furnish chiral 9,10-dihydrophenanthrenes along with meta-selective homocoupling products of iodoarene.

Abstract
For traditional metal complexes, intricate chemistry is required to acquire appropriate ligands for controlling the electron and steric hindrance of metal active centers. Comparatively, the preparation of single-atom catalysts is much easier with more straightforward and effective accesses for the arrangement and control of metal active centers. The presence of coordination atoms or neighboring functional atoms on the supports' surface ensures the stability of metal single-atoms and their interactions with individual metal atoms substantially regulate the performance of metal active centers. Therefore, the collaborative interaction between metal and the surrounding coordination environment enhances the initiation of reaction substrates and the formation and transformation of crucial intermediate compounds, which imparts single-atom catalysts with significant catalytic efficacy, rendering them a valuable framework for investigating the correlation between structure and activity, as well as the reaction mechanism of catalysts in organic reactions. Herein, comprehensive overviews of the coordination interaction for both homogeneous metal complexes and single-atom catalysts in organic reactions are provided. Additionally, reflective conjectures about the advancement of single-atom catalysts in organic synthesis are also proposed to present as a reference for later development.

Abstract
Medium-ring cyclic compounds have characteristic distortions. For alicyclic enones, conjugated enones are known to be less stable than unconjugated enones. In this study, the relative stability of cycloalkenones with varied C-C double bond positions with C6-C12 rings was theoretically investigated to reveal that C8-C12 cycloalkenones prefer the unconjugated isomer. Furthermore, direct access to distal unsaturated cycloalkenones has been accomplished by transfer dehydrogenation of cycloalkanones catalyzed by iridium complexes.

Abstract
Dehydrogenation chemistry has long been established as a fundamental aspect of organic synthesis, commonly encountered in carbonyl compounds. Transition metal catalysis revolutionized it, with strategies like transfer-dehydrogenation, single electron transfer and C-H activation. These approaches, extended to multiple dehydrogenations, can lead to aromatization. Dehydrogenative transformations of aliphatic carboxylic acids pose challenges, yet engineered ligands and metal catalysis can initiate dehydrogenation via C-H activation, though outcomes vary based on substrate structures. Herein, we have developed a catalytic system enabling cyclohexane carboxylic acids to undergo multifold C-H activation to furnish olefinated arenes, bypassing lactone formation. This showcases unique reactivity in aliphatic carboxylic acids, involving tandem dehydrogenation-olefination-decarboxylation-aromatization sequences, validated by control experiments and key intermediate isolation. For cyclopentane carboxylic acids, reluctant to aromatization, the catalytic system facilitates controlled dehydrogenation, providing difunctionalized cyclopentenes through tandem dehydrogenation-olefination-decarboxylation-allylic acyloxylation sequences. This transformation expands carboxylic acids into diverse molecular entities with wide applications, underscoring its importance.

Abstract
Introducing degrees of unsaturation into small molecules is a central transformation in organic synthesis. A strategically useful category of this reaction type is the conversion of alkanes into alkenes for substrates with an adjacent electron-withdrawing group. An efficient strategy for this conversion has been deprotonation to form a stabilized organozinc intermediate that can be subjected to α,β-dehydrogenation through palladium or nickel catalysis. This general reactivity blueprint presents a window to uncover and understand the reactivity of Pd- and Ni-enolates. Within this context, it was determined that β-hydride elimination is slow and proceeds via concerted syn-elimination. One interesting finding is that β-hydride elimination can be preferred to a greater extent than C-C bond formation for Ni, more so than with Pd, which defies the generally assumed trends that β-hydride elimination is more facile with Pd than Ni. The discussion of these findings is informed by KIE experiments, DFT calculations, stoichiometric reactions, and rate studies. Additionally, this report details an in-depth analysis of a methodological manifold for practical dehydrogenation and should enable its application to challenges in organic synthesis.

Abstract
This study presents a Pd(II)-catalyzed method for the β-C(sp3)-H arylation of N-Cbz- or N-Fmoc-protected N-methyl alanines, providing ready access to building blocks for N-methylated peptide synthesis. For this transformation, the native carboxylate was exploited as the directing group, attributing its success to the use of a monoprotected amino-pyridine ligand. Its synthetic utility was demonstrated by facile generation of nine analogues of the naturally occurring N-methylated cyclic peptide cycloaspeptide A.

Abstract
This review comprehensively analyses representative examples of Pd(II)-catalyzed late-stage C-H activation reactions and demonstrates their efficacy in converting C-H bonds at multiple positions within drug (derivative) molecules into diverse functional groups. These transformative reactions hold immense potential in medicinal chemistry, enabling the efficient and selective functionalization of specific sites within drug molecules, thereby enhancing their pharmacological activity and expanding the scope of potential drug candidates. Although notable articles have focused on late-stage C-H functionalization reactions of drug-like molecules using transition-metal catalysts, reviews specifically focusing on late-stage C-H functionalization reactions of drug (derivative) molecules using Pd(II) catalysts are required owing to their prominence as the most widely utilized metal catalysts for C-H activation and their ability to introduce a myriad of functional groups at specific C-H bonds. The utilization of Pd-catalyzed C-H activation methodologies demonstrates impressive success in introducing various functional groups, such as cyano (CN), fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), aromatic rings, olefin, alkyl, alkyne, and hydroxyl groups, to drug (derivative) molecules with high regioselectivity and functional-group tolerance. These breakthroughs in late-stage C-H activation reactions serve as invaluable tools for drug discovery and development, thereby offering strategic options to optimize drug candidates and drive the exploration of innovative therapeutic solutions.

Abstract
Selective oxidation of the γ-C-H bonds from abundant amine feedstocks via palladium catalysis is a valuable transformation in synthesis and medicinal chemistry. Despite advances on this topic in the past decade, there remain two significant limitations: C-H activation of aliphatic amines requires an exogenous directing group except for sterically hindered α-tertiary amines, and a practical catalytic system for C(sp3)-H hydroxylation using a green oxidant, such as oxygen or aqueous hydrogen peroxide, has not been developed to date. Herein, we report a ligand-enabled selective γ-C(sp3)-H hydroxylation using sustainable aqueous hydrogen peroxide (7.5-10%, w/w). Enabled by a CarboxPyridone ligand, a series of primary amines (1°), piperidines, and morpholines (2°) were hydroxylated at the γ-position with excellent monoselectivity. This method provides an avenue for the synthesis of a wide range of amines, including γ-amino alcohols, β-amino acids, and azetidines. The retention of chirality in the reaction allows rapid access to chiral amines starting from the abundant chiral amine pool.

Abstract
An elegant Pd(dba)2-catalyzed enantioselective Heck dearomative annulation of indoles and N-tosylhydrazones for the straightforward assembly of structurally diverse optically active indoline scaffolds containing the quaternary carbon centers at the C2 position has been developed. The tandem protocol, which utilized a Pd(dba)2/BINOL-based phosphoramidite ligand as the catalytic system, proceeded smoothly through successive oxidative addition, intramolecular carbon palladation, migratory insertion, and β-elimination sequences, leading to the chiral indoline derivatives in moderate to excellent yields, with excellent enantioselectivities and diastereoselectivities. In addition, the synthetic practicability of the catalytic system was underlined by a scaled-up experiment and the late-stage derivatization of the products, thus highlighting the potential applications in synthetic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and material science.

Abstract
Transition metal catalysis plays a pivotal role in transforming unreactive C-H bonds. However, regioselective activation of distal aliphatic C-H bonds poses a tremendous challenge, particularly in the absence of directing templates. Activation of a methylene C-H bond in the presence of methyl C-H is underexplored. Here we show activation of a methylene C-H bond in the presence of methyl C-H bonds to form unsaturated bicyclic lactones. The protocol allows the reversal of the general selectivity in aliphatic C-H bond activation. Computational studies suggest that reversible C-H activation is followed by β-hydride elimination to generate the Pd-coordinated cycloalkene that undergoes stereoselective C-O cyclization, and subsequent β-hydride elimination to provide bicyclic unsaturated lactones. The broad generality of this reaction has been highlighted via dehydrogenative lactonization of mid to macro ring containing acids along with the C-H olefination reaction with olefin and allyl alcohol. The method substantially simplifies the synthesis of important bicyclic lactones that are important features of natural products as well as pharmacoactive molecules.

Abstract
α,β-Dehydrogenation of aliphatic acids has been realized through both enolate and β-C-H metalation pathways. However, the synthesis of isolated β,γ-unsaturated aliphatic acids via dehydrogenation has not been achieved to date. Herein, we report the ligand-enabled β,γ-dehydrogenation of abundant and inexpensive free aliphatic acids, which provides a new synthetic disconnection as well as a versatile platform for the downstream functionalization of complex molecules at remote γ-sites. A variety of free aliphatic acids, including acyclic and cyclic systems with ring sizes from five-membered to macrocyclic, undergo efficient dehydrogenation. Notably, this protocol features good chemoselectivity in the presence of more accessible α-C-H bonds and excellent regioselectivity in fused bicyclic scaffolds. The utility of this protocol has been demonstrated by the late-stage functionalization of a series of bioactive terpene natural products at the γ-sites. Further functionalization of the β,γ-double bond allows for the installation of covalent warheads, including epoxides, aziridines, and β-lactones, into complex natural product scaffolds, which are valuable for targeted covalent drug discovery.

Abstract
We describe a catalytic cascade sequence involving directed C(sp3 )-H activation followed by β-heteroatom elimination to generate a PdII (π-alkene) intermediate that then undergoes redox-neutral annulation with an ambiphilic aryl halide to access 5- and 6-membered (hetero)cycles. Various alkyl C(sp3 )-oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur bonds can be selectively activated, and the annulation proceeds with high diastereoselectivity. The method enables modification of amino acids with good retention of enantiomeric excess, as well as σ-bond ring-opening/ring-closing transfiguration of low-strain heterocycles. Despite its mechanistic complexity, the method employs simple conditions and is operationally straightforward to perform.

Abstract
1,3-Dienes are common scaffolds in biologically active natural products as well as building blocks for chemical synthesis. Developing efficient methods for the synthesis of diverse 1,3-dienes from simple starting materials is therefore highly desirable. Herein, we report a Pd(II)-catalyzed sequential dehydrogenation reaction of free aliphatic acids via β-methylene C-H activation, which enables one-step synthesis of diverse E,E-1,3-dienes. Free aliphatic acids of varying complexities, including the antiasthmatic drug seratrodast, were found to be compatible with the reported protocol. Considering the high lability of 1,3-dienes and lack of protecting strategies, dehydrogenation of aliphatic acids to reveal 1,3-dienes at the late stage of synthesis offers an appealing strategy for the synthesis of complex molecules containing such motifs.

Abstract
An efficient approach for the direct synthesis of alkylated 4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives via a Cu-catalyzed cascade dehydrogenation/conjugate addition sequence starting from simple saturated ketones and 4-hydroxycoumarins has been developed. This protocol features excellent functional-group tolerance, easy scale-up, and a broad substrate scope including bioactive molecules. More importantly, a series of marketed drugs, such as warfarin, acenocoumarol, coumachlor, and coumafuryl, can be obtained by this method.

Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed [3 + 2] annulation of substituted aromatic amides with maleimides providing tricyclic heterocyclic molecules in good to moderate yields through weak carbonyl chelation is reported. The reaction proceeds via a dual C-H bond activation where the first C-H activation takes place selectively at the benzylic position followed by a second C-H bond activation at the meta position to afford a five-membered cyclic ring. An external ligand Ac-Gly-OH has been used to succeed in this protocol. A plausible reaction mechanism has been proposed for the [3 + 2] annulation reaction.

Abstract
PdII -catalyzed C(sp3 )-H activation of free carboxylic acids represents a significant advance from conventional cyclopalladation initiated reactions. However, developing a modular synthetic platform for diverse quaternary and tertiary carbon centers based on this reactivity, two challenges remain to be addressed: mono-selectivity in each consecutive C-H functionalization step; compatibility with heteroatoms. While the exclusive mono-selectivity was achieved by β-lactonization/nucleophilic attack, the latter limitation remains to be overcome. Herein, we report the PdII -catalyzed β- and γ-C(sp3 )-H heteroarylation of free carboxylic acids using pyridine-pyridone ligands capable of overcoming these limitations. A sequence of three consecutive C(sp3 )-H activation reactions of pivalic acid provides an unique platform for constructing diverse quaternary carbon centers containing heteroaryls which could serve as an enabling tool for escaping the flat land in medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
Ligand development has enabled rapid advances in Pd(II)-catalyzed β-methyl C(sp3)-H activation of free carboxylic acids. However, there are only a handful of reports of free-acid-directed β-methylene C(sp3)-H activation, all of which are limited to intramolecular reactions. Herein, we report the first Pd(II)-catalyzed intermolecular β-methylene C(sp3)-H arylation of free aliphatic acids, which is enabled by bidentate pyridine-pyridone ligands. The bite angle of this ligand has been discovered to play a key role in promoting β-methylene C-H activation of free carboxylic acid. This new transformation provides a disconnection for alkylation of arenes with simple aliphatic acids. A variety of free aliphatic acids, including the antiasthmatic drug seratrodast, were compatible with the reported protocol.

Abstract
Diversity-oriented synthesis is tremendously useful for expanding the explorable chemical space but restricted by the limited available toolbox of skeleton-diversification chemistry. We report herein Rh(III)-catalyzed coupling of enaminones and diazodicarbonyls for skeleton-divergent synthesis of isocoumarins and naphthalenes. The diazodicarbonyl ring size and pH dependence of the skeleton-forming process demonstrates the achievement of both substrate- and reagent-controlled skeletal diversity generation in a single type of system. An intriguing C-C bond cleavage reactivity is critical for enabling facile synthetic access to isocoumarins.

Abstract
With the large number of Pd(II)-catalyzed C-H activation reactions of native substrates developed in the past decade, the development of catalysts to enable the use of green oxidants under safe and practical conditions has become an increasingly important challenge. Notably, the compatibility of Pd(II) catalysts with sustainable aqueous H2O2 has been a long-standing challenge in catalysis including Wacker-type oxidations. We report herein a bifunctional bidentate carboxyl-pyridone (CarboxPyridone) ligand that enables room-temperature Pd-catalyzed C-H hydroxylation of a broad range of benzoic and phenylacetic acids with an industry-compatible oxidant, aqueous hydrogen peroxide (35% H2O2). The scalability of this methodology is demonstrated by a 1000 mmol scale reaction of ibuprofen (206 g) using only a 1 mol % Pd catalyst loading. The utility of this protocol is further illustrated through derivatization of the products and synthesis of polyfluorinated natural product coumestan and pterocarpene from phenol intermediates prepared using this methodology.

Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed sequential C(sp3)-H and C(sp2)-H bond diolefination reaction of o-toluidine has been realized for the first time using acetyl-protected aminoethyl phenyl thioether ligands. This novel reaction allows for preparation of the conjugated diene structure via an immediate second olefination on the basis of the first C(sp3)-H olefination in one pot. Various triflyl-protected anilines and acrylates were used as coupling partners elegantly. Furthermore, the unpurified diolefination products can be easily converted to tetrahydroquinoline derivatives.
