Complete Switch of Selectivity in the C–H Alkenylation and Hydroarylation Catalyzed by Iridium: The Role of Directing Groups
摘要:
A complete switch in the Cp*Ir(III)-catalyzed paths between C-H olefination and hydroarylation was found to be crucially dependent on the type of directing groups. This dichotomy in product distribution was correlated to the efficiency in attaining syn-coplanarity of olefin-inserted 7-membered iridacycles. Theoretical studies support our hypothesis that the degree of flexibility of this key intermediate modulates the beta-H elimination, which ultimately affords the observed chemoselectivity.

CH activation: The ruthenium‐catalyzed direct sp2 CHamidation of arenes by using sulfonyl azides as the amino source is presented (see scheme). A wide range of substrates were readily amidated including arenes bearing weakly coordinating groups. Synthetic utility of the thus obtained products was demonstrated in the preparation of biologically active heterocycles.
development of the Ir(III)-catalyzed direct C-H amidation of arenes and alkenes using acyl azides as the nitrogen source. This procedure utilizes an in situ generated cationic half-sandwich iridium complex as a catalyst. The reaction takes place under very mild conditions, and a broad range of sp(2) C-H bonds of chelate group-containing arenes and olefins are smoothly amidated with acyl azides without the intervention

Iridium-catalyzed direct ortho C-H amidation of arenes has been shown to work well with sulfonyl- and aryl azides as the nitrogen source. The reaction proceeds efficiently with a broad range of substrates bearing conventional directing groups with excellent functional group compatibility under mild conditions. In addition, substrates forming not only 5- but also 6-membered iridacycle intermediates undergo the C-H amidation with high selectivity.
