Selective Aerobic Oxidation of Primary Alcohols to Aldehydes

, p. 1554 - 1557 (2017)
The 2-azaadamantane- N -oxyl (AZADO)- and 9-azanoradamantane- N -oxyl (nor-AZADO)-catalyzed selective oxidation of primary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes is described. The use of tert -butyl nitrite as the co-catalyst enables efficient aerobic oxidation in MeCN instead of previously reported AcOH; this is important for the selectivity of the reaction. The addition of a solution of saturated aqueous NaHCO 3 after the completion of the reaction was effective to suppress the overoxidation of the product to the corresponding carboxylic acid during the workup.

The concept of anion–π catalysis focuses on the stabilization of anionic transition states on aromatic π surfaces. Recently, we demonstrated the occurrence of epoxide-opening ether cyclizations on aromatic π surfaces. Although the reaction proceeded through unconventional mechanisms, the obtained products are the same as those from conventional Br?nsted acid catalysis, and in agreement with the Baldwin selectivity rules. Different mechanisms, however, should ultimately lead to new products, a promise anion–π catalysis has been reluctant to live up to. Herein, we report non-trivial reactions that work with anion–π catalysis, but not with Br?nsted acids, under comparable conditions. Namely, we show that the anion–π templated autocatalysis and epoxide opening with alcoholate–π interactions can provide access to unconventional ring chemistry. For smaller rings, anion–π catalysis affords anti-Baldwin oxolanes, 2-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]octanes, and the expansion of Baldwin oxetanes by methyl migration. For larger rings, anion–π templated autocatalysis is thought to alleviate the entropic penalty of folding to enable disfavored anti-Baldwin cyclizations into oxepanes and oxocanes.

In this report, we establish that a readily available nickel/bis(oxazoline) catalyst accomplishes a wide array of enantioconvergent cross-couplings of arylzinc reagents with CF3-substituted racemic secondary alkyl halides, a process that necessitates that the chiral catalyst be able to effectively distinguish between a CF3 and an alkyl group in order to provide good ee. We further demonstrate that this method can be applied without modification to the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of other families of fluorinated organic compounds.
