Iridium-Catalyzed C-Alkylation of Methyl Group on -Heteroaromatic Compounds using Alcohols.

Org Lett

September 2020

Graduate School of Human and Environmental Studies, Kyoto University, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606-8501, Japan.

In this study, we developed a catalytic system for the C-alkylation of a methyl group on -heteroaromatic compounds, including pyridine, pyrimidine, pyrazine, quinoline, quinoxaline, and isoquinoline, using alcohols based on a hydrogen-borrowing process with [Cp*IrCl] (Cp*: η-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) combined with potassium -butoxide and 18--6-ether as the catalyst precursor.

Article Synopsis
  • Base-catalyzed C-alkylation of potassium enolates with styrenes, also known as CAKES, is a recent method for synthesizing important pharmaceutical compounds.
  • K enolates from diverse precursors like alkyl-substituted heterocycles and amides react with styrene in the presence of specific bases, yielding useful products.
  • The study utilizes computational methods, kinetics, and deuterium labeling to illuminate the reaction mechanism and propose a general mechanism applicable to other C-alkylation reactions involving enolate-type precursors.

Treatment of benzaldehyde and an acetoacetate ester with potassium carbonate in an alcohol solvent proceeds via γ-C-alkylation rather than α-C-alkylation resulting in the formation of 6-phenyl-2,4-dioxotetrahydropyran. Based upon results from deuterium exchange experiments, carbon-13 labeling experiments, (1)H NMR monitoring studies, and reactivity studies, our proposed mechanism for this reaction involves deprotonation at the α-carbon, intramolecular proton transfer to form a γ-anion, addition of the resulting γ-anion to the carbonyl carbon of benzaldehyde, and intramolecular transesterification.

An intramolecular-dehydrogenative-coupling (IDC) using "transition-metal-free" oxidation conditions has been achieved to synthesize a variety of 2-oxindoles bearing an all-carbon quaternary stereogenic center at the benzylic position. The methodology involves a one-pot C-alkylation of β-N-arylamido esters (3, 6) with alkyl halides using potassium tert-butoxide concomitant with a dehydrogenative coupling. A radical-mediated pathway has been tentatively proposed for the oxidative process.
