چکیده

Enantioselective intramolecular oxidative amidation of alkenes has been achieved using a (pyrox)Pd(II)(TFA)(2) catalyst (pyrox = pyridine-oxazoline, TFA = trifluoroacetate) and O(2) as the sole stoichiometric oxidant. The reactions proceed at room temperature in good-to-excellent yields (58-98%) and with high enantioselectivity (ee = 92-98%). Catalyst-controlled stereoselective cyclization reactions are demonstrated for a number of chiral substrates. DFT calculations suggest that the electronic asymmetry of the pyrox ligand synergizes with steric asymmetry to control the stereochemical outcome of the key amidopalladation step.

Mechanistic studies of Wacker-type amidocyclization of alkenes catalyzed by (IMes)Pd(TFA)2(H2O): kinetic and stereochemical implications of proton transfer.

The stereochemical course of the amidopalladation of alkenes has important implications for the development of enantioselective Pd-catalyzed "Wacker-type" oxidative amidation of alkenes. We have recently shown that the addition of base (Na2CO3) can alter the stereochemical course of amidopalladation in the (IMes)Pd(TFA)2(H2O)-catalyzed aerobic oxidative amidation of alkene. In this study, the m...

Mechanistic studies of Wacker-type intramolecular aerobic oxidative amination of alkenes catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2/pyridine.

Wacker-type oxidative cyclization reactions have been the subject of extensive research for several decades, but few systematic mechanistic studies of these reactions have been reported. The present study features experimental and DFT computational studies of Pd(OAc)(2)/pyridine-catalyzed intramolecular aerobic oxidative amination of alkenes. The data support a stepwise catalytic mechanism that...

Reversible alkene insertion into the Pd-N bond of Pd(II)-sulfonamidates and implications for catalytic amidation reactions.

Alkene insertion into Pd-N bonds is a key step in Pd-catalyzed oxidative amidation of alkenes. A series of well-defined Pd(II)-sulfonamidate complexes have been prepared and shown to react via insertion of a tethered alkene. The Pd-amidate and resulting Pd-alkyl species have been crystallographically characterized. The alkene insertion reaction is found to be reversible, but complete conversion...

Development and investigation of a site selective palladium-catalyzed 1,4-difunctionalization of isoprene using pyridine–oxazoline ligands

Palladium-catalyzed 1,4-difunctionalizations of isoprene that produce skipped polyenes are reported. Complex isomeric product mixtures are possible as a result of the difficult-to-control migratory insertion of isoprene into a Pd–alkenyl bond, but good site selectivity has been achieved using easily accessible pyrox ligands. Mechanistic studies suggest that the control of insertion is the resul...

Two-faced reactivity of alkenes: cis- versus trans-aminopalladation in aerobic Pd-catalyzed intramolecular aza-Wacker reactions.

A number of different PdII catalyst systems have been reported recently for the Wacker-type aerobic oxidative cyclization of alkenes bearing tethered nitrogen nucleophiles. This study examines the stereochemistry of the aminopalladation step with five different catalyst systems: Pd(OAc)2/DMSO (A), PdX2/pyridine [X = OAc (B), O2CCF3 (C)], Pd(IMes)(O2CCF3)2(OH2) (D), and Pd(O2CCF3)2/(-)-sparteine...
