  • Mechanistic Studies of Copper-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydroboration of Alkenes
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2017
    Co-Authors: Yumeng Xi, John F Hartwig
    Abstract:

    Mechanistic studies of the copper-catalyzed asymmetric hydroboration of Vinylarenes and internal alkenes are reported. Catalytic systems with both DTBM-SEGPHOS and SEGPHOS as the ligands have been investigated. With DTBM-SEGPHOS as the ligand, the resting state of the catalyst, which is also a catalytic intermediate, for hydroboration of 4-fluorostyrene is a phenethylcopper(I) complex ligated by the bisphosphine. This complex was fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The turnover-limiting step in the catalytic cycle for the reaction of Vinylarenes is the borylation of this phenethylcopper complex with pinacolborane (HBpin) to form the boronate ester product and a copper hydride. Experiments showed that the borylation occurs with retention of configuration at the benzylic position. β-Hydrogen elimination and insertion of the alkene to reform this phenethylcopper complex is reversible in the absence of HBpin but is irreversible during the catalytic process because reaction with ...

  • Direct measurement of the thermodynamics of Vinylarene hydroamination.
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2006
    Co-Authors: Adam M. Johns, Norio Sakai, And André Ridder, John F Hartwig
    Abstract:

    The thermodynamics for intermolecular hydroamination of Vinylarenes with arylamines have been measured directly by conducting the addition processes, as well as cleavage of the addition products, under conditions in which amine, Vinylarene, and phenethylamine are all present. The reaction of N-methylaniline with styrene is exothermic by about 10 kcal/mol but nearly thermoneutral in free energy. The free energies for additions of various primary arylamines to styrene and for additions of primary arylamines to indene, dihydronaphthalene, and two Vinylarenes range from 1.3 to -3.5 kcal/mol (K = 0.16-155 M-1). The steric properties of the nucleophile significantly influenced the equilibrium constant for addition, but the electronic properties of the nucleophile had a minor effect on this equilibrium constant. These measurements have led to the first successful intermolecular addition of aniline to indene and 1,2-dihydronaphthalene and shed light on factors requiring consideration when choosing substrates and reaction conditions for this transformation.

  • a highly active palladium catalyst for intermolecular hydroamination factors that control reactivity and additions of functionalized anilines to dienes and Vinylarenes
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2006
    Co-Authors: Adam M. Johns, Masaru Utsunomiya, Christopher D Incarvito, John F Hartwig
    Abstract:

    We report a catalyst for intermolecular hydroamination of Vinylarenes that is substantially more active for this process than catalysts published previously. With this more reactive catalyst, we demonstrate that additions of amines to Vinylarenes and dienes occur in the presence of potentially reactive functional groups, such as ketones with enolizable hydrogens, free alcohols, free carboxylic acids, free amides, nitriles, and esters. The catalyst for these reactions is generated from [Pd(η3-allyl)Cl]2 (with or without added AgOTf) or [Pd(CH3CN)4](BF4)2 and Xantphos (9,9-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)xanthene), which generates complexes with large P−Pd−P bite angles. Studies on the rate of the C−N bond-forming step that occurs by attack of amine on an η3-phenethyl and an η3-allyl complex were conducted to determine the effect of the bite angle on the rate of this nucleophilic attack. Studies on model η3-benzyl complexes containing various bisphosphines showed that the nucleophilic attack was faster f...

  • intermolecular markovnikov hydroamination of Vinylarenes with alkylamines
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2003
    Co-Authors: Masaru Utsunomiya, John F Hartwig
    Abstract:

    A transition metal-catalyzed intermolecular hydroamination of Vinylarenes with alkylamines is reported. The combination of Pd(O2CCF3)4, DPPF, and TfOH was the most effective catalyst of those tested. Control experiments without palladium, acid, or ligand all occurred in low yield. The reaction of various Vinylarenes with cyclic and acyclic alkylamines in the presence of 5 mol % of this catalyst formed the corresponding arylethylamine products in moderate to high yields. For example, reactions of morpholine, 4-phenylpiperazine, 4-Boc-piperazine, isoindoline, and tetrahydroisoquinoline with styrene all occurred in 58−75% yield. Acyclic amines such as N-benzylmethylamine and n-hexylmethylamine reacted with 2-vinylnaphthalene in 63% and 53% yields, respectively. Mechanistic investigations showed that the reaction occurred through an η3-arylethyl palladium complex. The reactions of this complex with alkylamines generated product in combination with regenerating free Vinylarene, Pd(0), and ammonium salt. Thus, ...

  • Rhodium-catalyzed anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of Vinylarenes.
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2003
    Co-Authors: Masaru Utsunomiya, Ryoichi Kuwano, Motoi Kawatsura, John F Hartwig
    Abstract:

    The transition metal-catalyzed anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of unactivated Vinylarenes with a rhodium complex of DPEphos is reported. The reaction of electron-neutral or electron-rich Vinylarenes with a variety of secondary amines in the presence of catalyst forms the products from anti-Markovnikov hydroamination in high yields. Reactions of morpholine, N-phenylpiperazine, N-Boc-piperazine, piperidine, 2,5-dimethylmorpholine, and perhydroisoquinoline reacted with styrene to form the amine product in 51-71% yield. Reactions of a variety of Vinylarenes with morpholine generated amine as the major product. Reactions of morpholine with electron-poor Vinylarenes gave lower amine:enamine ratios than reactions of electron-rich Vinylarenes at the same concentration of Vinylarene, but conditions were developed with lower concentrations of electron-poor Vinylarene to maintain formation of the amine as the major product. Reactions of dimethylamine with Vinylarenes were fast and formed amine as the major product. Mechanistic studies on the hydroamination process showed that the amine:enamine ratio was lower for reactions conducted with higher concentrations of Vinylarene and that one Vinylarene influences the selectivity for reaction of another. A mechanism proceeding through a metallacyclic intermediate that opens in the presence of a second Vinylarene accounts for these and other mechanistic observations.
