  • Pd‐Catalyzed Regiodivergent N6 versus Cvinyl Arylation of 8‐Vinyl Adenine Nucleosides, Sequential Diarylation, Fluorescence Properties, and Computational Evaluations**
Title: Pd‐Catalyzed Regiodivergent N6 versus Cvinyl Arylation of 8‐Vinyl Adenine Nucleosides, Sequential Diarylation, Fluorescence Properties, and Computational Evaluations**
Palladium‐catalyzed aryl amination and Heck arylation reactions are complementary transformations, generally requiring a suitable catalyst combination and a base. With substrates containing both an amino group and a vinyl moiety, control of C─N versus C─C reactivity can lead to regiodivergent functionalizations. With this focus, reactions of silyl‐protected 8‐vinyl 2'‐deoxyadenosine and adenosine with aryl bromides and iodides have been studied. Pd(OAc)2, Pd2(dba)3, and preformed dichloro[1,1′‐bis(di‐t‐butylphosphino)ferrocene]palladium (II) (Pd‐118) were evaluated as metal sources. Ligands tested were Xantphos, DPEphos, BIPHEP, and DPPF, with Cs2CO3and K3PO4as bases. In toluene as solvent, the Pd(OAc)2/Xantphos/Cs2CO3combination was uniquely capable of predominantN6arylation. Aryl bromides and iodides gave comparable product yields. Replacement of Cs2CO3with K3PO4redirected arylation from the nitrogen atom to the vinyl carbon atom, and all other catalyst, ligand, and base combinations gave Cvinylarylation as well. Simply switching from Pd(OAc)2to Pd2(dba)3resulted in loss of theN6‐selectivity and Cvinylarylation was favored. Based upon these results, using two structurally similar catalytic systems sequential CvinylandN6arylations of the nucleosides were accomplished. Some of the products were converted to other novel nucleoside analogues. Because some compounds were fluorescent, their photophysical properties were assessed experimentally and computationally.  more » « less

    Herein we report the palladium-catalyzed borylation of aryl halides (iodides or bromides) under base-free conditions utilizing a commercially available Lewis acidic mediator, Zn(OTf)2. Under these conditions, an array of electronically and functional group-diverse aryl iodides and bromides undergo borylation to afford the corresponding aryl boronic esters in up to 82% isolated yield. Mechanistic investigations are consistent with Zn(OTf)2 enabling transmetalation between a cationic Pd(II)-Ar intermediate and B2pin2 via halide abstraction. Furthermore, stabilization of the cationic [ArPdII]+ complex with added [BArF4]– significantly improves reaction efficiency with electron-poor arenes.

    A highly selective palladium-catalyzed carbonylative arylation of weakly acidic benzylic C(sp 3 )–H bonds of azaarylmethylamines with aryl bromides under 1 atm of CO gas has been achieved. This work represents the first examples of use of such weakly acidic pronucleophiles in this class of transformations. In the presence of a NIXANTPHOS-based palladium catalyst, this one-pot cascade process allows a range of azaarylmethylamines containing pyridyl, quinolinyl and pyrimidyl moieties and acyclic and cyclic amines to undergo efficient reactions with aryl bromides and CO to provide α-amino aryl-azaarylmethyl ketones in moderate to high yields with a broad substrate scope and good tolerance of functional groups. This reaction proceeds via in situ reversible deprotonation of the benzylic C–H bonds to give the active carbanions, thereby avoiding prefunctionalized organometallic reagents and generation of additional waste. Importantly, the operational simplicity, scalability and diversity of the products highlight the potential applicability of this protocol.

    A modular platform for facile access to 1,2,3,9‐tetrahydro‐4H‐carbazol‐4‐ones (H4‐carbazolones) and 3,4‐dihydrocyclopenta[b]indol‐1(2H)‐ones (H2‐indolones) is described. The requisite 6‐ and 5‐membered 2‐arylcycloalkane‐1,3‐dione precursors were readily obtained through a Cu‐catalyzed arylation of 1,3‐cyclohexanediones or by a ring expansion of aryl succinoin derivatives. Enolization of one carbonyl group in the diones, conversion to a leaving group, and subsequent azidation gave 2‐aryl‐3‐azidocycloalk‐2‐en‐1‐ones. This two‐step, one‐pot azidation is highly regioselective with unsymmetrically substituted 2‐arylcyclohexane‐1,3‐diones. The regioselectivity, which is important for access to single isomers of 3,3‐disubstituted carbazolones, was analyzed mechanistically and computationally. Finally, a Rh‐catalyzed nitrene/nitrenoid insertion into theorthoC−H bond of the aryl moiety gave the H4‐carbazolones and H2‐indolones. One carbazolone was elaborated to an intermediate reported in the total synthesis ofN‐decarbomethoxychanofruticosinate, (−)‐aspidospermidine, (+)‐kopsihainanine A. With 2‐phenylcycloheptane‐1,3‐dione, prepared from cyclohexanone and benzaldehyde, the azidation reaction was readily accomplished. However, the Rh‐catalyzed reaction unexpectedly led to a labile but characterizable azirine rather than the indole derivative. Computations were performed to understand the differences in reactivities of the 5‐ and 6‐membered 2‐aryl‐3‐azidocycloalk‐2‐en‐1‐ones in comparison to the 7‐membered analogue, and to support the structural assignment of the azirine.

    A highly chemoselective iron-catalyzed three-component dicarbofunctionalization of unactivated olefins with alkyl halides (iodides and bromides) and sp 2 -hybridized Grignard reagents is reported. The reaction operates under fast turnover frequency and tolerates a diverse range of sp 2 -hybridized nucleophiles (electron-rich and electron-deficient (hetero)aryl and alkenyl Grignard reagents), alkyl halides (tertiary alkyl iodides/bromides and perfluorinated bromides), and unactivated olefins bearing diverse functional groups including tethered alkenes, ethers, protected alcohols, aldehydes, and amines to yield the desired 1,2-alkylarylated products with high regiocontrol. Further, we demonstrate that this protocol is amenable for the synthesis of new (hetero)carbocycles including tetrahydrofurans and pyrrolidines via a three-component radical cascade cyclization/arylation that forges three new C–C bonds.
