  • detailed mechanistic studies on palladium catalyzed selective c h Olefination with aliphatic alkenes a significant influence of proton shuttling
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2017
    Co-Authors: Arghya Deb, Avijit Hazra, Qian Peng, Robert S Paton, Debabrata Maiti
    Abstract:

    Directing group-assisted regioselective C–H Olefination with electronically biased olefins is well studied. However, the incorporation of unactivated olefins has remained largely unsuccessful. A proper mechanistic understanding of Olefination involving unactivated alkenes is therefore essential for enhancing their usage in future. In this Article, detailed experimental and computational mechanistic studies on palladium catalyzed C–H Olefination with unactivated, aliphatic alkenes are described. The isolation of Pd(II) intermediates is shown to be effective for elucidating the elementary steps involved in catalytic Olefination. Reaction rate and order determination, control experiments, isotopic labeling studies, and Hammett analysis have been used to understand the reaction mechanism. The results from these experimental studies implicate β-hydride elimination as the rate-determining step and that a mechanistic switch occurs between cationic and neutral pathway. Computational studies support this interpret...

  • Incorporating Unbiased, Unactivated Aliphatic Alkenes in Pd(II)-Catalyzed Olefination of Benzyl Phosphonamide
    2017
    Co-Authors: Kapileswar Seth, Soumitra Agasti, Milan Bera, Massimo Brochetta, Ashis Das, Andrea Gandini, Alessio Porta, Giuseppe Zanoni, Debabrata Maiti
    Abstract:

    The use of unbiased aliphatic alkene as the coupling partner for C–H Olefination continues to be a challenging task. A suitable chelating directing group allowed ortho C–H Olefination of benzyl phosphonamide with unactivated aliphatic alkenes. The broad substrate scope with respect to variation of benzyl phosphonamides and aliphatic alkenes as well as examples of sequential hetero-bis-Olefinations offer diversity along with excellent linear/branch selectivity

  • sequential meta c h Olefination of synthetically versatile benzyl silanes effective synthesis of meta olefinated toluene benzaldehyde and benzyl alcohols
    Chemical Communications, 2016
    Co-Authors: Tuhin Patra, Rahul A Watile, Soumitra Agasti, Togati Naveen, Debabrata Maiti
    Abstract:

    Tremendous progress has been made towards ortho-selective C–H functionalization in the last three decades. However, the activation of distal C–H bonds and their functionalization has remained fairly underdeveloped. Herein, we report sequential meta-C–H functionalization by performing selective mono-Olefination and bis-Olefination with late stage modification of the C–Si as well as Si–O bonds. Temporary silyl connection was found to be advantageous due to its easy installation, easy removal and wide synthetic diversification.

  • meta selective arene c h bond Olefination of arylacetic acid using a nitrile based directing group
    ChemInform, 2015
    Co-Authors: Milan Bera, Tuhin Patra, Atanu Modak, Arun Maji, Debabrata Maiti
    Abstract:

    Phenylacetic acids (I) and (V) having a 2-hydroxybenzonitrile substituent as directing group undergo meta-selective Olefination with acrylates and vinyl ketones.

  • Palladium-Catalyzed Aryl C–H Olefination with Unactivated, Aliphatic Alkenes
    2014
    Co-Authors: Arghya Deb, Sukdev Bag, Rajesh Kancherla, Debabrata Maiti
    Abstract:

    Palladium-catalyzed coupling between aryl halides and alkenes (Mizoroki–Heck reaction) is one of the most popular reactions for synthesizing complex organic molecules. The limited availability, problematic synthesis, and higher cost of aryl halide precursors (or their equivalents) have encouraged exploration of direct Olefination of aryl carbon–hydrogen (C–H) bonds (Fujiwara–Moritani reaction). Despite significant progress, the restricted substrate scope, in particular noncompliance of unactivated aliphatic olefins, has discouraged the use of this greener alternative. Overcoming this serious limitation, we report here a palladium-catalyzed chelation-assisted ortho C–H bond Olefination of phenylacetic acid derivatives with unactivated, aliphatic alkenes in good to excellent yields with high regio- and stereoselectivities. The versatility of this operationally simple method has been demonstrated through drug diversification and sequential C–H Olefination for synthesizing divinylbenzene derivatives
