The Liebeskind–Srogl coupling reaction is an organic reaction forming a new carbon–carbon bond from a thioester and a boronic acid using a metal catalyst. It is a cross-coupling reaction. [1] This reaction was invented by and named after Jiri Srogl from the Academy of Sciences, Czech Republic, and Lanny S. Liebeskind from Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA. There are three generations of this reaction, with the first generation shown below. The original transformation used catalytic Pd(0), TFP = tris(2-furyl)phosphine as an additional ligand and stoichiometric CuTC = copper(I) thiophene-2-carboxylate as a co-metal catalyst. The overall reaction scheme is shown below.

The Liebeskind-Srogl coupling reaction

Liebeskind-Srogl reaction is most commonly seen with sulfide or thioester electrophiles and boronic acid or stannane nucleophiles but many other coupling partners are viable. In addition to alkyl and aryl thioesters; (hetero)aryl sulfides, thioamides, sulfanyl alkynes, and thiocyanates are competent electrophiles. [2] Virtually any metal-R bond capable of transmetalation has been demonstrated. [2] Indium derived nucleophiles require no copper or base. Note that this scope is applicable for the first generation coupling as the second and third generations are mechanistically distinct and have only been demonstrated with thioesters capable of forming the six-membered metallocycle, boronic acids, and stannanes.

ScopeofLSC.jpg

The first-generation approach to cross coupling is run under anaerobic conditions using stoichiometric copper and catalytic palladium. [1]

Second generation approach renders the reactions catalytic in copper by using an extra equivalent of boronic acid under aerobic, palladium free conditions. [3] The additional equivalent liberates the copper from the sulfur auxiliary and allows it to turn over. This chemistry is limited to thioesters and sulfides and could also be limited by the cost and availability of the organoboron reagent.

The third generation renders the reaction catalytic in copper while using only one equivalent of boronic acid. [4]

Mechanism

Generation 1

The proposed reaction mechanism for the first generation is shown below. [5] [6] The thioester 1 complexes with copper complex 3 to form compound 4. With the oxidative insertion of [Pd] into the carbon–sulfur bond, compound 5 is formed, and with transmetallation, organopalladium species 8 is formed. The transmetallation proceeds via the transfer of R2 to the palladium metal center with concomitant transfer of the sulfur atom to the copper complex. Reductive elimination gives ketone 3 with the regeneration of the active catalyst 9.

Generation 2

The mechanism for the second generation is shown below. [3] The mechanism does not follow a traditional oxidative addition-transmetelation-reductive elimination pathway like the first generation. In parallel to studies of Cu(I)-dioxygen reactions, a higher oxidation state, Cu-templated coupling is proposed. [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] Coordination of copper(I) to the thioester undergoes oxidation by air to give a copper (II/III) intermediate. Metal templating by Cu(II/III) acts as a Lewis acid to both activate the thiol ester and deliver R2 (from either boron directly or via an intermediate Cu-R2 species), which produces the ketone and a Cu-thiolate. A second equivalent of boronic acid is needed to break the copper sulfur bond and liberate copper back into the catalytic cycle.

Generation 3

The third generation renders the reaction catalytic in copper and uses only one equivalent of boronic acid by mimicking the metallothionein (MT) system that sponges metals from biological systems. [4] The thio-auxilary features an N-O motif that mimics the S-S motif in the MT biosystem, that is necessary to break the copper sulfur bond and turn over the catalyst. This generation is palladium free and under microwave conditions. The mechanism is expected to follow that of the second generation (shown as an active Cu(I)-R2 species but R2 could be delivered directly from the coordinated boronic acid) but includes the auxiliary releasing copper back into the catalytic cycle instead of additional boronic acid.

Applications in synthesis

The Liebeskind–Srogl coupling has been used as a key retrosynthetic disconnection in several natural product total synthesis.

For example, in the synthesis of Goniodomin A, the Sasakki lab utilized this chemistry to rapidly access the northern half of the natural product. [12]

The Guerrero lab used the Liebeskind–Srogl coupling to construct the entire carbon skeleton of viridin in high yield on multi-gram scale. [13]

The lab of Figadere used the Liebeskind–Srogl coupling early in their synthesis of amphidinolide F [14] by employing this reaction to construct the north eastern fragment of the macrocycle and the terpene chain.

Other

Directed difunctionalization

The Yu lab has demonstrated that in the presence of two sulfide bonds, one can be selectively functionalized in the presence of one equivalent of nucleophile if directed by a carbonyl oxygen. [15] This reaction proceeds through a five-membered palladacycle with oxidative addition taking place on this cis-thioether. Additional equivalence of nucleophile will functionalize the trans-position.

A boronic acid is an organic compound related to boric acid in which one of the three hydroxyl groups is replaced by an alkyl or aryl group. As a compound containing a carbon–boron bond, members of this class thus belong to the larger class of organoboranes.

A carbometalation is any reaction where a carbon-metal bond reacts with a carbon-carbon π-bond to produce a new carbon-carbon σ-bond and a carbon-metal σ-bond. The resulting carbon-metal bond can undergo further carbometallation reactions or it can be reacted with a variety of electrophiles including halogenating reagents, carbonyls, oxygen, and inorganic salts to produce different organometallic reagents. Carbometalations can be performed on alkynes and alkenes to form products with high geometric purity or enantioselectivity, respectively. Some metals prefer to give the anti-addition product with high selectivity and some yield the syn-addition product. The outcome of syn and anti- addition products is determined by the mechanism of the carbometalation.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hydrogen auto-transfer</span>

Hydrogen auto-transfer, also known as borrowing hydrogen, is the activation of a chemical reaction by temporary transfer of two hydrogen atoms from the reactant to a catalyst and return of those hydrogen atoms back to a reaction intermediate to form the final product. Two major classes of borrowing hydrogen reactions exist: (a) those that result in hydroxyl substitution, and (b) those that result in carbonyl addition. In the former case, alcohol dehydrogenation generates a transient carbonyl compound that is subject to condensation followed by the return of hydrogen. In the latter case, alcohol dehydrogenation is followed by reductive generation of a nucleophile, which triggers carbonyl addition. As borrowing hydrogen processes avoid manipulations otherwise required for discrete alcohol oxidation and the use of stoichiometric organometallic reagents, they typically display high levels of atom-economy and, hence, are viewed as examples of Green chemistry.

The Tsuji–Trost reaction is a palladium-catalysed substitution reaction involving a substrate that contains a leaving group in an allylic position. The palladium catalyst first coordinates with the allyl group and then undergoes oxidative addition, forming the π-allyl complex. This allyl complex can then be attacked by a nucleophile, resulting in the substituted product.

The Krische allylation involves the enantioselective iridium-catalyzed addition of an allyl group to an aldehyde or an alcohol, resulting in the formation of a secondary homoallylic alcohol. The mechanism of the Krische allylation involves primary alcohol dehydrogenation or, when using aldehyde reactants, hydrogen transfer from 2-propanol. Unlike other allylation methods, the Krische allylation avoids the use of preformed allyl metal reagents and enables the direct conversion of primary alcohols to secondary homoallylic alcohols.

In organic chemistry, the Fujiwara–Moritani reaction is a type of cross coupling reaction where an aromatic C-H bond is directly coupled to an olefinic C-H bond, generating a new C-C bond. This reaction is performed in the presence of a transition metal, typically palladium. The reaction was discovered by Yuzo Fujiwara and Ichiro Moritani in 1967. An external oxidant is required to this reaction to be run catalytically. Thus, this reaction can be classified as a C-H activation reaction, an oxidative Heck reaction, and a C-H olefination. Surprisingly, the Fujiwara–Moritani reaction was discovered before the Heck reaction.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Strained phosphorus heterocycles</span> Class of main group element compounds

Strained phosphorus containing heterocycles are a class of main group element compounds that uniquely demonstrates chemical reactivities such as oxidative addition (OA), reductive elimination (RE), and O-atom transfer, which are in general associated with transition metals. Key to their success in "main group as transition metal" are two factors: (1) The center atom phosphorus shows moderate tendency to both oxidative addition and reductive elimination. In contrast, while OA is facile with low valent group 13/14 elements such as Al(I), carbene and silylene, RE is considered very difficult. Similarly, while RE on hypervalent group 16/17 compounds such as S(IV) and I(III) is facile, the OA is challenging. Group 15 pnictogens show advantage over their neighbors in terms of their comparative ease in both OA and RE.(2) Geometry distortion due to ring strain leads to the non-degeneracy of the e set of orbitals (LUMO) in C3v symmetry. The decreased HOMO-LUMO gap enables better interaction between the molecules, leading to easier activation and novel chemistry opportunities. Additionally, the HOMO can be raised in diphosphetanes due to interaction between the lone pairs.
