Cobalt-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of alkyl halides with allylic and benzylic Grignard reagents and their application to tandem radical cyclization/cross-coupling reactions

Details of cobalt-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of alkyl halides with allylic Grignard reagents are disclosed. A combination of cobalt(II) chloride and 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (DPPE) or 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (DPPP) is suitable as a precatalyst and allows secondary and tertiary alkyl halides--as well as primary ones--to be employed as coupling partners for allyl Grignard reagents. The reaction offers a facile synthesis of quaternary carbon centers, which has practically never been possible with palladium, nickel, and copper catalysts. Benzyl, methallyl, and crotyl Grignard reagents can all couple with alkyl halides. The benzylation definitely requires DPPE or DPPP as a ligand. The reaction mechanism should include the generation of an alkyl radical from the parent alkyl halide. The mechanism can be interpreted in terms of a tandem radical cyclization/cross-coupling reaction. In addition, serendipitous tandem radical cyclization/cyclopropanation/carbonyl allylation of 5-alkoxy-6-halo-4-oxa-1-hexene derivatives is also described. The intermediacy of a carbon-centered radical results in the loss of the original stereochemistry of the parent alkyl halides, creating the potential for asymmetric cross-coupling of racemic alkyl halides.     

Stereoselective synthesis of cyclic ethers using vinylogous sulfonates as radical acceptors: effect of E/Z geometry and temperature on diastereoselectivity

Treatment of the E-vinylogous sulfonates 1a-g with tris(trimethylsilyl)silane and triethylborane, in the presence of air, furnished the cyclic ethers 2/3a-g with good to excellent diastereoselectivity favoring the cis-isomer 2. This study demonstrated the level of stereocontrol in a 6-exo radical cyclization and may be attributed to the type of radical intermediate. Hence, the modest selectivity obtained for the cyclization of 1e may be a function of the acyl radical geometry (sp2) and high inversion barrier (29 kcal/mol) as compared to the alkyl (1 kcal/mol) and vinyl (2.9 kcal/mol) radicals. This is consistent with the acyl radical cyclization having an earlier transition state than the corresponding alkyl and vinyl radicals. The modest diastereoselectivity can be improved dramatically using the Z-vinylogous sulfonate (> or =34:1; R = Ph) to promote kinetic trapping of the s-trans rotamer I and III, respectively (Figure 1). The 5-exo alkyl radical cyclization reaction under nonreductive Keck-allylation conditions was also examined, in which 8 was formed in 91% overall yield. This transformation provides a convenient method for in situ homologation and should be applicable to target directed synthesis.     

Cascade radical cyclization/cross-coupling of halobenzamides by synergistic Cu/Fe catalysis: An access to 7-tert-alkylated isoquinolinediones

A Cu/Fe-cocatalyzed cyclization of halobenzamides with azo reagents involving regioselective radical/radical cross-coupling toward functionalized isoquinolinediones was developed. Applying azo reagents as the coupling partner, in the presence of cheap, facile and ligand-free catalytic combination of CuI/Fe(NH₄)₂(SO₄)₂·6H₂O/air, the halobenzamide radicals generated by a prior radical addition/cyclization process underwent radical/radical cross-coupling via the cleavage of C-X (X?=?F, Cl, Br, I, OMe, OBn) bond with excellent site selectivity, leading to a series of isoquinolinediones furnished dual distal α-functional quaternary moieties. In addition, the theoretical calculation on the C-X bond cleavage and the positional selectivity using unrestricted density functional theory (DFT) was also conducted.     

Synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles using exo- and endo-selective radical cyclizations onto enamides

The effect of positional change of the carbonyl group of enamides on Bu₃SnH-mediated alkyl radical cyclization leading to five-, six-, seven-, and eight-membered nitrogen-containing heterocycles was examined. A 5-exo cyclization is generally preferred over a 6-endo ring closure in systems having an alkyl radical center on the enamide-acyl side chain, whereas enamides having an alkyl radical center opposite to the acyl side chain predominantly gave 6-endo cyclization products. These results suggest that the exo or endo selectivity of radical cyclization onto the alkenic bond of enamides can be controlled by positional change of the carbonyl group. For an understanding of these selectivities, heat of formation for each transition state was calculated. 6-endo-Selective radical cyclization was applied to the radical cascade, enabling a concise synthesis of a cylindricine skeleton. A 7- or 8-endo alkyl radical cyclization, however, predominated over a corresponding 6- or 7-exo ring closure regardless of the positional change of the carbonyl group of enamides.     

Cobalt-mediated cross-coupling reactions of primary and secondary alkyl halides with 1-(trimethylsilyl)ethenyl- and 2-trimethylsilylethynylmagnesium reagents

[reaction: see text] This paper describes cobalt-mediated cross-coupling reactions of alkyl halides with 1-(trimethylsilyl)ethenylmagnesium bromide and 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethynylmagnesium bromide, respectively. The cobalt system allows for employing secondary as well as primary alkyl halides as the substrates. The reactions offer facile formations of alkyl-alkenyl and alkyl-alkynyl bonds. The reaction mechanism would include single-electron transfer from a cobalt complex to alkyl halide to generate the corresponding alkyl radical. The cobalt system thus enables sequential radical cyclization/alkenylation and cyclization/alkynylation reactions of 6-halo-1-hexene derivatives.     

Alkyl radical cyclization to vinylogous carbonates for the stereoselective synthesis of unsymmetrical dioxa-cage compounds: effect of conformation on the rate of cyclization versus reduction

An efficient strategy for the stereoselective construction of unsymmetrical dioxa-cage compounds containing ether linkages employing a 6-exo-trig alkyl radical cyclization to vinylogous carbonates is developed. The radical precursors are prepared from the diols obtained from the Diels-Alder adducts via iodoetherification followed by addition of the alcohol to the ethyl propiolate. The geometrical constrains play important role in deciding the outcome of the reaction as cyclization versus simple reduction. Formation of the mono-oxa-cage compounds via a 5-exo-trig intramolecular alkyl radical cyclization to olefin is also described. The dioxa-cages could also be assembled employing a tandem oxymercuration reduction-radical cyclization to vinylogous carbonates protocol with equal efficiency and with reduced number of steps.     

Computational Study on Chemoselective Difunctionalization of Unactivated Alkenes with Radical-mediated Remote Functional Group Migration

A computational study of the radical-mediated chemoselective difunctionalization of the tertiary alcohol substituted aliphatic alkenes is carried out employing density functional theory (DFT) and high-level coupled-cluster methods, such as coupled-cluster singles and doubles with perturbative triples [DLPNO-CCSD(T)]. Our results indicate that the cyclic vinyl radical plays an important role in the progression of the reactions. Our computations demonstrated that the chemoselective difunctionalization of unactivated alkenes with radical-mediated remote functional group migration is suitable for the 5- and 6-exo-dig cyclization, as opposite to 3- and 4-exo-dig cyclization suffering from cyclic intermediate with high energy. Our results show that the migration of nitrile group is more preferable than that of alkynyl group for the molecules including both cyano group and alkynyl group. For the 5- and 6-exo-dig cyclization, the rate-determining step is the homolysis of the C−C σ-bond in the cyclic intermediate, which results in the hydroxyl alkyl radical.

6-endo Versus 5-exo radical cyclization: streamlined syntheses of carbahexopyranoses and derivatives by 6-endo-trig radical cyclization

Three factors that can direct 6-endo radical cyclization over 5-exo ring closure: substitution at C-5, vinyl radical cyclization and ring strain, have been considered in the context of the preparation of carbapyranoses from carbohydrate derivatives. As a result, alkyl radicals in substrates containing a strain inducing 2,3-O-isopropylidene ring, and vinyl radical in non-strained compounds undergo a completely regioselective 6-endo-trig ring closure leading to carbasugar derivatives.     

Tandem polar/radical crossover sequences for the formation of fused and bridged bicyclic nitrogen heterocycles involving radical ionic chain reactions,and alkene radical cation intermediates,performed under reducing conditions: scope and limitations

It is demonstrated that phosphorylated forms of beta-nitro alcohols provide an excellent means of entry into beta-(phosphatoxy)alkyl radicals on exposure to tributyltin hydride and AIBN in benzene at reflux. These radicals then undergo heterolytic cleavage of the phosphate group to yield alkene radical cation/phosphate anion contact ion pairs which are trapped intramolecularly in a tandem polar/radical crossover sequence involving radical ionic chain reactions by allylic and propargylic amines. The substitution pattern of the alkene radical cation dictates the cyclization mode, and this may be engineered to form fused ring systems by an initial exo-mode nucleophilic cyclization or bridged bicyclic systems when the nucleophilic attack takes place in the endo-mode.
