McCANN A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN CHEMISTRY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO OCTOBER 2015 © Lucas C. McCann, 2015 ABSTRACT Part I: An efficient method for alkyl-alkyl Negishi cross-coupling reaction of unactivated primary alkyl halides with higher-order zincate species (synthesized from dialkylzinc and a non-coordinating halide salt in situ) using Pd-PEPPSI-IPent (Pyridine-Enhanced Pre-catalyst Preparation Stabilization and Initiation) pre-catalyst has been developed. The method requires no additive (such as LiX) or use of a polar co-solvent (such as THF/DMI) and reactions proceed in THF solvent alone. The transmetalating species in alkyl-alkyl Negishi cross-coupling has been identified and the catalytic cycle has been amended to include the formation of the higher-order zincate species. Subsequent investigation into diarylzinc as reagents in Negishi cross-coupling have shown they transmetalate directly without the use of halide additive in THF alone producing arylzinc halide as a resting state. Once the dielectric of the solvent becomes sufficiently polar, coupling resumes, and the aryl moiety transmetalates to palladium. The optimized protocol using Pd-PEPPSI-IPent allowed for the coupling of a variety of alkyl- and aryl- organozinc reagents providing the corresponding products in good to quantitative yields. Moreover, the developed protocol is generally applicable and tolerant of a variety of functional groups including esters, and nitriles. Part II: An improved and efficient method for the preparation of sterically Cl Cl demanding Pd PEPPSI-IPent, IPent , IHept, and IHept pre-catalysts are presented and the results of optimization for the multi-gram synthesis of 2,6-disubstituted anilines is discussed. ii DEDICATION I wish to dedicate this work to my loving family.

  • APPLICATION of Pd-NHC COMPLEXES in CHALLENGING
    APPLICATION OF Pd-NHC COMPLEXES IN CHALLENGING AMINATION REACTIONS SEPIDEH SHARIF A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN CHEMISTRY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONOTO, ONTARIO FEBRUARY 2019 © SEPIDEH SHARIF 2019 ABSTRACT Among Pd-catalyzed carbon-heteroatom cross-coupling reactions, C-N bond formation, known as Buchwald-Hartwig amination (BHA), is by far the most studied reaction owing to the prevalence of arylated amines in pharmaceuticals, natural products, organic materials, and catalysts. Despite the tremendous progress that has been achieved with respect to improving the efficiency and expanding the scope of BHA of (hetero)aryl halides and amine nucleophilic partners, some challenges remain to be addressed. These challenges include selective monoarylation of primary alkyl amines, enantioretentive N-arylation of a-amino esters and arylation of amide nucleophiles. This research is mainly focused on evaluating the reactivity of Pd-NHC pre-catalysts, in particular Pd-PEPPSI (Pyridine Enhanced Pre-catalyst Preparation Stabilization and Initiation) complexes in such challenging BHA reactions. Pd-PEPPSI-IPentCI, was identified as one of the most reactive and selective pre-catalysts yet reported in the literature in the arylation of primary alkyl amines. The high level of selectivity that was exhibited by Pd-PEPPSI-IPentCI is assured by the use of the mild, soluble and sterically demanding sodium salt of butylated hydroxytoluene (NaBHT) as the base in this transformation. Pd-PEPPSI-IPentCl-o-picoline was shown to effectively couple a variety of amino acids as the tert-butyl ester with heteroaryl chlorides in high yields and with excellent stereoretention of the acidic proton adjacent to the ester.

Specifically, we focused on: a) coupling of sterically hindered primary and secondary amines and b) coupling of 2-aminopyridine derivatives with aryl and heteroaryl halides. Although several approaches have been developed and proven to be effective for coupling of sterically hindered amines, they have limited utility and substrate scope. Pd-PEPPSI-IPentCl (Pyridine Enhanced Pre-catalyst Preparation Stabilization and Initiation) proved to be a very effective catalyst for coupling hindered primary and secondary amines under mild reaction conditions (i.e. Na-BHT (BHT = 2,6-Di-tert-butyl hydroxyl toluene), 80 °C, DME) tolerating base sensitive functional groups such as ester, keto, and nitrile groups. While the synthesis of 2-aminopyridine derivatives is commonly carried out by metal-catalyzed coupling of 2-halopyridines with aniline derivatives, the use of 2-aminopyridine as a nucleophilic partner in Pd catalysis is very difficult as these substrates tend to bind irreversibly to the palladium center and shut down the catalytic cycle. However, Pd-PEPPSI-IPentCl has been found to resist the binding of 2-aminopyridines, making it a very active catalyst for these couplings.

Due to the great number of publications and limited space here, we made a special attempt to compile the relevant data in tables, which we hope will serve as a guide for chemists interested in these reactions.

    Uppsala University Project Thesis Suzuki coupling of functionalized arylboronic acids to a 2-Amino-5-(4-bromophenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole scaffold Supervisors: Author: Dr. Wei Berts Fredric Ingner Dr. Jonas Malmström February 21, 2015 Abstract Seven arylboronic acids, all but one containing functional groups, were cho- sen for Suzuki cross coupling to a predetermined scaffold for a contract project. The scaffold was synthesized and catalytic ability was assesed for three palla- dium catalysts: Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (Pd(PPh3)4), (1,1’- Bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene)palladium(II) dichloride (Pd(DPPF)Cl2) and PEPPSI-iPr. Library reactions proceeded with Tetrakis since it was found to be the only catalyst capable of producing product during trials. All reactions were worked up by flash chromatography, except one where preperative HPLC had to be used. Reactions and purification steps were analyzed crudely with TLC and more thoroughly through LC-MS with ESI. Structural analysis in form of 1H-NMR was made of the scaffold and two products. It was found that all but one of the seven reactions proceeded to completion with 0.1 eq of catalyst under alkali conditions at 80o C. 1 Acknowledgements I would like to thank Dr. Fredrik Lehmann for allowing me to do my thesis work at OnTarget Chemistry. I am very grateful to have been supervised by Dr. Wei Berts and Dr. Jonas Malmström, without whom this thesis would not have been possible. I also extend my gratitude to all of the employees of OnTarget Chemistry who have made me feel very much at home and as a part of the team.
