Organometallic Cross-Coupling in Synthesis

•  Organometallics play a key role in C-C bond forming reactions

•   Negatively polarized carbon-metal bond (C!- M!

+) is suited for this purpose

•  Reactivity of organometallic generlaly increases with ionic character of the C-M bond

Related to the electronegativity value EN difference between the carbon and themetal (EN = electrostatic force exerted by a nucleus on the valence electrons)

•  Ionic character (% ionicity) is related to difference between the EN values of the atoms of

the C-M bond•  EN and ionic character are affected by substituents on carbon

•  Thus, C-Li, C-Mg, C-Ti and C-Al bonds are more ionic then C-Zn, C-Cu, C-Sn, and C-B

o  Latter bonds have more covalent character

•  Special techniques are often required based on reactivity of C-M bonds

Organolithium reagents in synthesis

•  React with a wide variety of organic substrates to form C-C bonds

•  Serve as precursors for preparation of other organometallic reagents

• 

Various methods can be used to prepare organolithium species depending on substrate1.  Li metal and alkyl halides

•  Does not work for allylic, benzylic or propargylic systems (homo coupling)

•  Basicity decreases with increasing stability of carbanion

o  tBuLi > sBuLi > nBuLi

2.  Lithium-Halogen (Li-X) Exchange

•  Proceeds forward when R-Li is a weaker base (more stable carbanion) than

R'-Li

o  (E) and (Z)-alkenyl halides are configurationally stable @ low temp

o  Can react with various electrophiles

•  Aryllithium reagents

o  Li-halogen exhange is very fast @ low tempo  Use of tetramethylethylene diamine (TMEDA) to accelerate

metalation more than M-X exchange

3.  Transmetalation [Lithium-Metal (Li-M) Exchange]

•  Used to prepare allylic, benzylic and propargylic lithium reagents

@/A

•  Disadvantages

o  Cannot have hydrogens on #-carbon

o  Often requires high temp (50-160 ˚C) for couplingo  Aryl chlorides are not good substrates (react slowly)

More substituted alkenes give slower reaction

•  Scope and limitationso  Common catalysts: Pd(OAc)2, PdCl2, Pd2dba3, Pd(PPh3)4 o  Representative ligands: PAr 3, dppp, BINAP

o  X: iodide, bromide, triflate

o  Polar solvents often used: DMF, CH3CN, MeOH

o  Addition of phase-transfer catalysts help reactivity

o  Electron-releasing groups on C=C lead to increased addition to most electron-

deficient carbon (electron-poor olefins react faster)

o  Reactivity order of aryl halides in oxidative additions:!  Ar-I > Ar-OTf > Ar-Br >> Ar-Cl

o  Aryl substituents do not interfere with coupling (Cl, CN, CO2R, CHO, NMe2)

groups than R-Li or R-MgX

Tsuji-Trost Reaction

•  Allylic substrates with good leaving groups are excellent reagents for joining an allylmoiety with a nucleophile

•  Reactions are limited- competition between S N2 and S N2'

 

Pd-catalyzed nucleophilic substitution of allylic substrates allows for formation of newC-C and C-heteroatom bonds

•  Control of both regio- and stereoselectivity

• 

Use of chiral ligands for asymmetric synthesis

•  Most effective leaving groups: esters, carbonates, phosphates, OPh

• 

Soft nucleophiles give best results for C-C bond formation (malonates, enolates, etc.)

•   Nucleophilic addition usually occurs at least hindered (less substituted) site

•  Examples:

•  Stereochemical outcome: retention of stereochemistry 

Buchwald-Hartwig Amination

•  Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of amine with aryl halides 

•  Extremely powerful and efficient approach to nitrogen containing compounds and C-N bonds 

•  Has been applied to C-O bond formation as well

Olefin Metathesis

•  2005 Nobel Prize in chemistry (Chauvin, Shrock and Grubbs)

•  Allows exchange of substituents between different olefins (transalkylidenation)

•  General mechanism: 

•  Grubbs's catalysts most often used in synthesis 

• 

Ring-closing methathesis (RCM) o  Efficient formation of small-, medium- and large-sized rings
