Ethynylbenziodazolones (EBZ) as Electrophilic Alkynylation Reagents for the Highly Enantioselective Copper‐Catalyzed Oxyalkynylation of Diazo Compounds
radicals and nucleophiles, yet they present limited possibilities for further structure and reactivity modification. Herein, the first synthesis is reported for the corresponding ethynylbenziodazolone (EBZ) reagents, in which the oxygen atom in the iodoheterocycle is replaced by a nitrogen atom. The substituent on the nitrogen enables further fine‐tuning of the reagent structure and reactivity. EBZ reagents

Carboxylate and carboxamide ligands on dirhodium(II) catalysts can provide enormous regiocontrol in carbon-hydrogen insertion reactions of diazoacetate esters. Whereas 2,3,4-trimethyl-3-pentyl diazoacetoacetate (1) forms gamma-lactone products from insertion into primary and tertiary C-H bonds in a statistical distribution (61:39) with dirhodium(II) tetrakis(perfluorobutyrate), only tertiary C-H insertion is observed with dirhodium(II) tetraacetamide. Similar results are obtained with 2-methyl-2-octyl diazoacetoacetate (3), where competition for insertion exists between secondary and primary C-H bonds and electronic factors govern regioselection. However, with 2-methyl-3-isopropyl-3-heptyl diazoacetoacetate (2) and 2-methyl-1-phenyl-2-propyl diazoacetoacetate (4), product distributions from C-H insertion are invariant with the dirhodium(II) ligands; insertion into a secondary C-H bond is favored over tertiary C-H insertion with 2 (95:5), and insertion into a primary C-H bond is preferred to benzylic secondary C-H insertion with 4 (70:30). In such cases, which are amenable to analyses by MM2 calculations, regioselectivity is determined by conformational preferences for which C-H insertion selectivity can be as random as that found with 2 and 4. When only one C-H bond site is available for insertion to form a five-membered ring product, only one gamma-lactone is observed from reactions catalyzed by dirhodium(II) tetraacetate, and that product is not necessarily the one predicted by presumed electronic preferences.

A linear free energy analysis of substituent effects in rhodium carboxylate complexes has been conducted. Two reactions of diazo compounds involving intramolecular competition between (1) O-ylide formation and secondary C-H insertion, and (2) tertiary C-H and primary C-H insertion were studied as well as complexation effects on the IR frequencies of CO and tert-butyl isocyanide. Aliphatic and aromatic carboxylate complexes were included. Regression equations that describe these processes include contributions from sigma(alpha) (polarizability) and sigma(F) (field effects) and, for the benzoates, sigma(R) (resonance). Complexes that deviate from the LFER include rhodium trifluoroacetate and rhodium triptycenecarboxylate, and their behavior was explained through (partial) release of the free carbene. The effect of ligand polarizability on selectivity in these reactions was interpreted as evidence for the importance of backbonding from rhodium to the carbene carbon in the product-determining step. The ability of these complexes to backbond was shown through the complexation study. Higher selectivity with increasing ability to backbond is analogous to other carbenes such as difluorocarbene. Increased selectivity engendered by backbonding could occur by facilitating the reversal of an intermediate complex between the carbenoid and the C-H bond undergoing insertion. Increased selectivity engendered by field effects and polarizability could be explained by increased selectivity for electron-rich sites.
