Abstract
The mechanism, enantioselectivity, and effect of chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) cocatalyst were investigated by the density functional theory (DFT) for the three-component asymmetric aminohydroxylation between two diazo compounds and a hydroxylamine derivative. This type of cascade process is cooperatively catalyzed by Rh2(OAc)4 and CPA. The obtained results clearly indicate that the first step of the global reaction involves a nucleophilic attack at the nitrogen center of N-hydroxyaniline by rhodium-carbene intermediates producing imines. Subsequently, an enolate intermediate was recognized as the key species generated from the second diazo compound and the leaving benzyl alcohol (BnOH) fragment of the first step and in the presence of the same dirhodium catalyst. Then, the reaction is terminated by the asymmetric Mannich-type addition, delivering the aminohydroxylation products of an S-R conformation with the assistance of chiral phosphoric acid. The distortion/interaction analysis shows that the relative distortions of CPA and the enol play a vital role in the energy ordering of the stereocontrolling transition states (TSs). Furthermore, the influence of different substituents in CPA was fully rationalized by distortion/interaction analysis. This study opens up novel synthetic possibilities and improves the reaction predictability when exploring the related types of cooperatively catalyzed organic transformations.

Chemistry 2023; 29:e202301910. [PMID: 37665257 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202301910] [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: 06/16/2023] [Revised: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023]
Abstract
The mechanism of Rh2 (S-NTTL)4 catalyzed carbene insertion into C(3)-H of indole is investigated using DFT methods. Since the commonly accepted enol mechanism cannot account for enantioinduction, a concerted oxocarbenium pathway was proposed in an earlier work using a model catalyst. However, after considering the full catalytic system, this study finds that akin to other reactions, here, too, the enol pathway is of lower energy, which now naturally raises a conundrum regarding the mode of chiral induction. Herein, a new water promoted mechanistic pathway involving a metal-associated enol intermediate hydrogen bonding and stereochemical model are proposed to solve this puzzle. It is shown how the catalyst bowl-shaped structure along with substrate-catalyst binding is crucial for achieving high levels of enantioselectivity. A stereodetermining water-assisted proton transfer is proposed and confirmed through deuterium-labeling experiments. The water molecules are held together by H-bonding interactions with the carboxylate ligands that is reminiscent of enzyme catalysis. Although several previous studies have aimed at understanding the mechanism of metal catalyzed carbene insertion reactions, the origin of high stereoinduction especially with chiral metal complexes remains unclear, and till date there is no transition state model that can explain the high enantioselectivity with such chiral Rh complexes. The metal-associated enol pathway is currently underrepresented in catalytic cycles and may play a crucial role in catalyst design. Since the enol pathway is commonly adopted in other metal-catalyzed X-H insertion reactions involving a diazoester, the presented results are not specific to the current reaction. Therefore, this study could provide the direction for achieving high levels of enantioselectivity which is otherwise difficult to achieve with a single metal catalyst.

Abstract
Unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds are the most challenging substrate class for transition metal-catalyzed C-H halogenation. Recently, the Yu group [Liu, T.; Myers, M. C.; Yu, J. Q. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed.2017, 56 (1), 306-309] has demonstrated that a CuII/phenanthroline catalyst and BrN3, generated in situ from NBS and TMSN3 precursors, can achieve selective C-H bromination distal to a directing group. The current understanding of the mechanism of this reaction has left numerous questions unanswered. Here, we investigated the mechanism of Cu-catalyzed C(sp3)-H bromination with distal site selectivity using density functional theory calculations. We found that this reaction starts with the Br-atom transfer from BrN3 to the Cu center that occurs via a small energy barrier at the singlet-triplet state seam of crossing. In the course of this reaction, the presence of the N-H bond in the substrate is critically important and acts as a directing group for enhancing the stability of the catalyst-substrate interaction and for the recruitment of the substrate to the catalyst. The required C-centered radical substrate formation occurs via direct C-H dehydrogenation by the Cu-coordinated N3 radical, rather than via the previously proposed N-H bond dehydrogenation and then the 1,5-H transfer from the γ-(C-H) bond to the N-radical center pathway. The C-H bond activation by the azide radical is a regioselectivity-controlling step. The following bromination of the C-centered radical by the Cu-coordinated bromine completes the product formation. This reaction step is the rate-limiting step, occurs at the singlet-to-triplet state seam of the crossing point, and is exergonic.

Abstract
Hammett correlation experiments were used to determine the influence of dirhodium(II,II) paddlewheel complexes with tethered, axially coordinated ligands (TACLs) on the selectivity of rhodium carbenoids in competitive cyclopropanation reactions. The results suggest that dirhodium(II,II) paddlewheel complexes with TACLs are less sensitive to changes in electronics and reduce selectivity in cyclopropanation reactions with acceptor-substituted rhodium carbenoids. Also, Hammett plots with aryl diazoacetates resulted in a nonlinear downward curvature, suggesting a change in the rate-limiting step of the carbene transfer reaction.

Abstract
Using calculations, we show that a proposed Cu(I)-mediated deconstructive fluorination of N-benzoylated cyclic amines with Selectfluor® is feasible and may proceed through: (a) substrate coordination to a Cu(I) salt, (b) iminium ion formation followed by conversion to a hemiaminal, and (c) fluorination involving C-C cleavage of the hemiaminal. The iminium ion formation is calculated to proceed via a F-atom coupled electron transfer (FCET) mechanism to form, formally, a product arising from oxidative addition coupled with electron transfer (OA + ET). The subsequent β-C-C cleavage/fluorination of the hemiaminal intermediate may proceed via either ring-opening or deformylative fluorination pathways. The latter pathway is initiated by opening of the hemiaminal to give an aldehyde, followed by formyl H-atom abstraction by a TEDA2+ radical dication, decarbonylation, and fluorination of the C3-radical center by another equivalent of Selectfluor®. In general, the mechanism for the proposed Cu(I)- mediated deconstructive C-H fluorination of N-benzoylated cyclic amines (LH) by Selectfluor® was calculated to proceed analogously to our previously reported Ag(I)-mediated reaction. In comparison to the Ag(I)-mediated process, in the Cu(I)-mediated reaction the iminium ion formation and hemiaminal fluorination have lower associated energy barriers, whereas the product release and catalyst re-generation steps have higher barriers.

Abstract
This review highlights the applications of dirhodium(II,II) paddlewheel complexes with a heteroleptic scaffold. Dirhodium(II,II) paddlewheel complexes are well known as highly efficient and selective carbene transfer catalysts. While the majority of described complexes are homoleptic, comparatively fewer studies have concerned heteroleptic complexes. Here, we emphasise the use of heteroleptic complexes in order to highlight their benefits as carbene transfer catalysts and spur future research. Methods to synthesise heteroleptic dirhodium(II,II) paddlewheel complexes are discussed as well as a categorical review of their types of heteroleptic complexes and the carbene reactions in which they have been used.

Abstract
Enantioselective protonation, delivery of a proton to a carbanion intermediate, is the most straightforward and fundamental method for the preparation of a chiral tertiary carbon stereocenter. Recent efforts for this objective have been realized through enamine catalysis, which has now become a prominent catalytic strategy enabling a range of fascinating chiral transformations. This review will summarize recent advances in the field of enantioselective enamine protonation for the synthesis of optically active carbonyl compounds. Dynamic kinetic resolutions of α-substituted carbonyl compounds through enamine intermediates will be discussed as well.

Abstract
Enantioselective control of the chirality of a tertiary α-carbon in the products of a Nazarov cyclization of enones is challenging because the reaction involves an enantioselective proton transfer process. We herein report the use of cooperative catalysis using Lewis acids and chiral Brønsted acids to control the stereochemistry of the tertiary α-carbon in the products of this reaction. Specifically, with ZnCl2 and a chiral spiro phosphoric acid as catalysts, we realized the first enantioselective construction of cyclopenta[b]indoles with chiral tertiary α-carbons via Nazarov cyclization of indole enone substrates with only one coordinating site. Mechanistic studies revealed that the chiral spiro phosphoric acid acts as a multifunctional catalyst: it co-catalyzes the cyclization of the dienone and enantioselectively catalyzes a proton transfer reaction of the enol intermediate. This new strategy of enantioselective control by means of cooperative catalysis may show utility for other challenging asymmetric cyclization reactions.

Abstract
Mechanistic insights gained through density functional theory (DFT M06 and B3LYP) computations on a three-component cooperative asymmetric catalytic reaction between a diazo ester, a carbamate, and an imine, catalyzed by dirhodium acetate and chiral phosphoric acid (Brønsted acid), are presented. The addition of the dirhodium-bound enol to the imine yielding an α,β-diamino ester is energetically more preferred over a potentially competitive protonation of the same enol leading to an α-amino ester.

Abstract
A new highly enantioselective route to α-alkenyl α-amino acid derivatives, which are important naturally occurring compounds with attractive bioactivity and synthetic utility, was developed using a N-H insertion reaction of vinyldiazoacetates and tert-butyl carbamate cooperatively catalyzed by achiral dirhodium(ii) carboxylates and chiral spiro phosphoric acids under mild, neutral conditions. This reaction has a broad substrate scope, a fast reaction rate (turnover frequency > 6000 h-1), a high yield (61-99%), and excellent enantioselectivity (83-98% ee). The chiral spiro phosphoric acid, which is proposed to realize the enantioselectivity of the insertion reaction by promoting the proton transfer of a ylide intermediate by acting as a chiral proton shuttle catalyst, can suppress several usual side reactions of vinyldiazoacetates and broaden the applications of these versatile carbene precursors in organic synthesis. To our knowledge, it is the first highly enantioselective carbene insertion reaction of vinyldiazoacetates with heteroatom-hydrogen bonds in which the heteroatom has lone-pair electrons.
