Versatility of theNegishi Reaction Mechanism of Ni-Catalzyed C-C Bond Formation Paul White Stahl Group 03/25/10
Challenges of Carbon-Carbon Cross-Coupling Strategy of Homocouplingvs Cross-Coupling Obtain a mixture Choice of X, MT, M MT: Tunable Reactivity/Functional Group Tolerance MT = B (Suzuki-Miyaura), Sn (Stille), Zn (Negishi), Mg (Kumada-Tamao), Li X: Easy to activate R-X X = Halide or Pseudohalide (e.g. –OSO2CF3) M: Rapid reaction with R-X Focus: Group 10 M (Ni, Pd, Pt) Allred-Rochowelectronegativity scale Knochel, P. et. al. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.2000, 39, 4414-4435 Pearson, R. G.; et. al. J. Am. Chem. Soc.1980, 102, 1541-1547.
Typical Mechanism for Cross-Coupling 0/+2 or +2/+4 +1/+3 (Ni) -Characteristic Pd-catalysis -Commonly proposed for Ni -1,4 conjugate additions using MT -Some Ni-containing enzymes Why Nickel? Why Not Nickel? -More affordable than Pd -More reactive than Pd towards RX • Does not always do predictable • 2e- chemistry like Pd What set of oxidation states does Ni-catalyzed R-R formation operate under? Does mechanism differ between sp2-sp2 and sp3-sp3 couplings? By understanding the mechanism, is it possible to rationalize the chemistry?
In the Beginning First nickel organic-halide coupling reaction: cod = 1,5 cyclooctadiene Immediate advantage over previous methods 1) Ullmann chemistry 2) Organo-lithium and -magnesium + M - limits range of functional groups Uses stoichiometricamount of Ni Semmelhack, M. F.; Helquist, P. M.; Jones, L. D. J. Am. Chem. Soc.1971, 93, 5908-5910
Milestone Study: Kochi’s Mechanistic Work Kochi recognized the need to evaluate the variety of mechanisms proposed to better understand the chemistry Step 1: Oxidative Addition Step 2: Three Proposed Mechanisms Disproportionation/Reductive Elimination Oxidative Addtion/Reductive Elimination Homolysis/Radical dimerization Approach of Study: Observe how ArNiIIXLn-2 reacts Tsou, T. T.; Kochi, J. K. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1979, 101, 7547-7560
Disproportionation/Reductive Elimination Proposed Pathway: Experimental Evidence Against: *No disproportionation occurs under reaction conditions*
Oxidative Addition/Reductive Elimination – NiII/NiIV Proposed Pathway: Experimental Evidence Against: Aryl scrambling Halide scrambling w/o aryl exchange *Due to NO aryl exchange, NiII/NiIV not operating*
Presence of an Induction Period Additive Effects Reduce induction period: 0.2% PEt3 MeOTf -MeOTf: methylatesphosphine -NiBr2: acts as a phosphine sink NiBr2 None Increase induction period -0.2% PEt3: >> 0.2% = no reaction Induction period involves dissociation of a phospineligand
Aryl Radical Addition/Reductive Elimination – NiI/NiIII Proposed Pathway: Evidence against: Trapping by 1,4 dihydrobenzene Experiment 1 TATM + DHB + (ArNiIIBr) Result: No change in rate of decomposition and trapping with or without ArNiIIBr Experiment 2 *Aryl radicals are NOT intermediates* 11% TATM + DHB + ArNiIIBr + PhI Result: No effect on rxn or induction period
Inhibition by 1e- Acceptors Additive: O2 10 mol% Resume once consumed Strongly retards rate Complete inhibition *Suggests an odd-electron pathway (+1/+3)*
Review of Experimental Results Previously proposed mechanisms: 1. Disproportionation/Reductive Elimination *Does not occur under reaction conditions* 2. Oxidative Addition/Reductive Elimination *NO aryl exchange observed* 3. Aryl Radicals *Aryl radicals not present in solution (trapping study)* None of the proposed mechanisms fit the data!
A New Mechanism Proposed Knowns: 1) Clearly not 2e- chemistry (+0/+2, +2/+4) 2) Affected by 1e- acceptors (+1/+3) 3) Does not involve aryl radicals 4) Phosphine dependence in induction period Proposal: Test the viability of a NiIII radical species Oxidation of ArNiIIX Reduction of ArX Achieved chemically and electrochemically Reduction potential matches induction period ArI (2 min) < ArBr (60 min) < ArCl (80 min) Initiation Event:
Proposed Mechanism – NiI/NiIII Must account for: NOTE! Not catalytic in Ni -forms NiX2 = unreactive ✓ - Halide scrambling ✓ - Aryl scrambling ✓ - No aryl exchange Radical Chain Propagation
Move Towards Catalysis Problem associated with stoichiometric Ni reactions: • 1) [NiX] generated by initiation is very small • - poor electron donors/acceptors 2) NiX2 is an unreactive form of Ni Solution: Use reducing metals (Zn, Mg, Mn) to generate/regenerate NiI Role of Zn Pathway 1: Pathway 2: Kende, A. S.; et. al. Tet. Lett.1975, 39, 3375-3368, Kumada, M.; et. al. Tet. Lett.1977, 47, 4089-4092
Negishi Reaction – Expanding Cross-Coupling Reactions Selective cross-coupling had been achieved with use of organometallics species - MT = Mg -> Kumada Reaction - MT = Li - Catalyst = Ni or Pd Negishi introduced the use of organozincs Ni works as efficiently as Pd Organozincs more functional group tolerant than RMgX or RLi Negishi, E-I.; King, A. O.; Okukado, N. J. Org. Chem.1977, 42, 1821-1823
Summary of Mechanism and Methodology Highlights Ni-catalyzed aryl-aryl couplings Mechanism Stoichiometric reaction in Ni operates via +1/+3 pathway - different than Pd mechanisms (0/+2) Made catalytic in Ni by using reducing metal (Zn) - generates/regenerates NiI Methodology – Negishi reaction Ni performs as effectively as Pd Organozincs more tolerant of functionality than tradionalorganometallics - tolerant of C=O, CN and many more

Preparation of Organozinc Compounds Direct Insertion Aryls require more forcing conditions -OH, -NO2 and -N3 not tolerated When FG-RX is unactivated at α or β, and X = Br Works with many forms of Zn - dust, granules, powder, shot Reduces I2 which then converts the RBr into a more reactive RI

Move Towards Catalysis Observations: 1) Rate dependent on [Zn] - e- transfer rate-limiting (NiII/NiI) 2) Activation parameters suggest associative mechanism -ΔH = 10 kcal/mol, ΔS = -36 eu 3) Excess halide promotes reaction 4) Bpy promotes reaction - forces aryls cisto each other
