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  (Nobel Prize 2010- Heck, Negishi, and Suzuki)

•  Organo-Pd species usually generated in situ 

 

High chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivities•  Usually low catalyst loading

: zero valent state

o  Pd(II), d8: +2 state

•  Palladium (0) complexes

o  readily accessible, easily prepared and easily handled

o  Phosphine ligands provide high electron density on the metal!  Pd-P complex favors oxidative addition 

!  Pd-P complex favors dissociation of ligand to coordinating unsaturated

complex

!  Electron-rich, nucleophilic species! 

Prone to oxidation, ligand dissociation, insertion, and oxidative coupling

reactions

•  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)

Pd-Cross Coupling with Organometallics and Borates

•  Similar to Heck except alkenyl and aryl organometallics and borates are used instead ofalkenes

Transfer of alkenyl or aryl group onto R-PdL2X in exchange for halide or triflate•  Reagents containing Zn, Al, Zr (Negishi); Boron (Suzuki); and Sn (Stille) are the most

widely used

•  Reagents are more compatible with fiunctional groups like esters, amides, nitriles, nitro

groups than R-Li or R-MgX

•  General catalytic cycle:

•  Major disadvantage: organotin reagents are highly toxic (especially alkyltin derivatives)

• 

Reactions performed in polar solvents (THF, DMF, etc.)•  Vinyl iodides react very fast (work at low temp)

•  Use 1-2 mol % Pd catalyst (Pd(II) reduced to Pd(0) by organotin compound)

•  Transfer of R' group from R'SnBu3 occurs as follows:

• 

Organotin reagents prepared in two primary ways:1. Radical Sn-H addition to alkynes to give vinyl stannane2. Transmetalation with other organometallics

•  Cross coupling Reactivity

o  Gives high yields

o  Retention of alkene stereochemical integrity

o  For allylic systems --> attack at least substituted terminus

•  When carried out in CO atmosphere --> carbonylation to give ketones

Sonagashira Reaction

•  Coupling of aryl or vinyl halides or triflates with terminal alkynes

•  Use of catalytic amount of Pd(0) or Pd(II) precatalysts

•  Often in present of cocatalyst (usually CuI)

• 

Often performed in amine solvent

•  Catalytic cycle:

•  Use of Cu: Castro-Stephens Reaction

• 

Sonagashira reaction is milder and safer alternative

•  Preparation of conjugated enynes

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:

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
