Resolving a Reactive Organometallic Intermediate from Dynamic Directing Group Systems by Selective C−H Activation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Catalyst discovery from systems of potential precursors is a challenging endeavor. Herein, a new strategy applying dynamic chemistry to the identification of catalyst precursors from C-H activation of imines is proposed and evaluated. Using hydroacylation of imines as a model reaction, the selection of an organometallic reactive intermediate from a dynamic imine system, involving many potential directing group/metal entities, is demonstrated. The identity of the amplified reaction intermediate with the best directing group could be resolved in situ by ESI-MS, and coupling of the procedure to an iterative deconvolution protocol generated a system with high screening efficiency.

A 2-pyridone ring is a frequently occurring subunit in natural products, biologically active compounds, and pharmaceutical targets. Thus, the selective synthesis of substituted 2-pyridone derivatives through decoration and/or formation of pyridone rings has been one of the important longstanding subjects in organic synthetic chemistry. This minireview focuses on recent advances in site-selectiv...

Although the syntheses of novel and diverse peptides rely mainly on traditional coupling using unnatural amino acids, postsynthetic modification of peptides could provide a complementary method for the preparation of nonproteinogenic peptides. Site selectivity of postsynthetic modification of peptides is usually achieved by targeting reactive moieties, such as the thiol group of cysteine or the...

ABSTRACT A Ru-catalyzed mono-arylation in α-position of saturated cyclic amines is reported employing a C-H activation protocol. Substitution of the pyridine directing group with a bulky group, e.g., trifluoromethyl in the 3-position, proved to be crucial to avoid bis-arylation. This highly selective transformation can be performed with different amines and arylboronate esters. Additionally, th...

Manganese-catalyzed C-H bond activation chemistry is emerging as a powerful and complementary method for molecular functionalization. A highly reactive seven-membered Mn(I) intermediate is detected and characterized that is effective for H-transfer or reductive elimination to deliver alkenylated or pyridinium products, respectively. The two pathways are determined at Mn(I) by judicious choice o...
