A stannatrane (IUPAC: 1-aza-5-stannabicyclo[3.3.3]undecane) is a tin-based atrane belonging to the larger class of organostannanes. Though the term stannatrane is often used to refer to the more commonly employed carbastannatrane, azastannatranes have also been synthesized (prefix refers to the identity of the atom bound directly to tin center). [1] Stannatrane reagents offer highly selective methods for the incorporation of "R" substituents in complex molecules for late-stage diversification. These reagents differ from their tetraalkyl organostannane analogues in that there is no participation of dummy ligands in the transmetalation step, offering selective alkyl transfer in Stille Coupling reactions. [2] [3] [4] These transmetalating agents are known to be air- and moisture-stable, as well as generally less toxic than their tetraalkyl counterparts.

History and structural properties

The first carbastannatrane was reported in 1984 by Jurkschat and Tzschach. [5] By reaction of an amino-triGrignard reagent with tin(IV) chloride to yield the stannatrane chloride, which was treated with methyl lithium to yield the corresponding methyl stannatrane. Based on a very small methyl J(119Sn–13C) coupling constant of 171 Hz, it was determined that the tin center of methyl stannatrane was indeed pentacoordinate, indicating nitrogen coordination.

The crystal and molecular structure was explained by X-ray crystallography. [6] The X-ray diffraction study confirmed the tricyclic ring structure and gave insight toward the geometry of the complex. With a tin-nitrogen distance of 2.624 Å, the formal bond order was calculated to be about 0.46. The presence of the tin-nitrogen interaction, albeit weaker than anticipated, led to a few key discoveries: (1) the distortion from ideal trigonal bipyramidal toward monocapped tetrahedron geometry; [7] (2) the lengthening of the apical tin-methyl bond by ~ 0.1 Å (largest known value for any existing tetraorganotin compounds); (3) the observation of unusual hybridization at the apical tin-methyl bond.

Though the latter step is still commonly used for functionalization of stannatrane chloride to simple alkyl derivatives via transmetalation, Biscoe and coworkers have developed a lithiation method that provides access to a variety of enantioenriched alkyl substituents from optically active mesylates (2). [9] [10] After treatment of stannatrane chloride with lithium napthalide, a lithium carbastannatrane was quenched with the corresponding enantiopure mesylate to yield the desired enantioenriched alkyl carbastannatrane in moderate yield with high enantiomeric excess.

Applications in cross-coupling

The earliest reported use of carbastannatranes in palladium-catalyzed Stille coupling reactions in 1992 compared the efficiency of methyl stannatrane with tetramethyltin in the presence of aryl bromides and alkenyl iodides. [8] Tetramethyltin only resulted in less than five percent conversion, whereas methyl stannatrane resulted in 67% yield under the same conditions. This difference was attributed to the nitrogen lone pair lengthening the tin-methyl bond, increasing its lability toward transmetalation. A method was developed for Stille couplings of aziridinyl stannatranes with aryl electrophiles. [11]

Palladium also catalyzes Stille coupling of secondary alkyl carbastannatranes and aryl electrophiles. [12] [13] This report serves as the first example of employing chiral alkyl carbastannatrane reagents in enantioselective synthesis. Related methodology enable selective acyl substitution using enantioenriched stannatranes as an alternative to classical enolate chemistry. [9]

A stannatrane-mediated Stille coupling was utilized for the synthesis of an anti-methicillin-resistant carbapenem to incorporate an entire side-chain in a single step. [14]

In organometallic chemistry, organolithium reagents are chemical compounds that contain carbon–lithium (C–Li) bonds. These reagents are important in organic synthesis, and are frequently used to transfer the organic group or the lithium atom to the substrates in synthetic steps, through nucleophilic addition or simple deprotonation. Organolithium reagents are used in industry as an initiator for anionic polymerization, which leads to the production of various elastomers. They have also been applied in asymmetric synthesis in the pharmaceutical industry. Due to the large difference in electronegativity between the carbon atom and the lithium atom, the C−Li bond is highly ionic. Owing to the polar nature of the C−Li bond, organolithium reagents are good nucleophiles and strong bases. For laboratory organic synthesis, many organolithium reagents are commercially available in solution form. These reagents are highly reactive, and are sometimes pyrophoric.

Heck and Ei-ichi Negishi for their contribution to the discovery and development of palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings in organic synthesis. This reaction is also known as the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction or simply as the Suzuki coupling. It is widely used to synthesize polyolefins, styrenes, and substituted biphenyls. Several reviews have been published describing advancements and the development of the Suzuki reaction. The general scheme for the Suzuki reaction is shown below, where a carbon-carbon single bond is formed by coupling a halide (R1-X) with an organoboron species (R2-BY2) using a palladium catalyst and a base.

In organic chemistry, the Buchwald–Hartwig amination is a chemical reaction for the synthesis of carbon–nitrogen bonds via the palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions of amines with aryl halides. Although Pd-catalyzed C-N couplings were reported as early as 1983, Stephen L. Buchwald and John F. Hartwig have been credited, whose publications between 1994 and the late 2000s established the scope of the transformation. The reaction's synthetic utility stems primarily from the shortcomings of typical methods for the synthesis of aromatic C−N bonds, with most methods suffering from limited substrate scope and functional group tolerance. The development of the Buchwald–Hartwig reaction allowed for the facile synthesis of aryl amines, replacing to an extent harsher methods while significantly expanding the repertoire of possible C−N bond formation.

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.

In organic chemistry, the Kumada coupling is a type of cross coupling reaction, useful for generating carbon–carbon bonds by the reaction of a Grignard reagent and an organic halide. The procedure uses transition metal catalysts, typically nickel or palladium, to couple a combination of two alkyl, aryl or vinyl groups. The groups of Robert Corriu and Makoto Kumada reported the reaction independently in 1972.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Perfluorobutanesulfonyl fluoride</span> Chemical compound

Perfluorobutanesulfonyl fluoride (nonafluorobutanesulfonyl fluoride, NfF) is a colorless, volatile liquid that is immiscible with water but soluble in common organic solvents. It is prepared by the electrochemical fluorination of sulfolane. NfF serves as an entry point to nonafluorobutanesulfonates (nonaflates), which are valuable as electrophiles in palladium catalyzed cross coupling reactions. As a perfluoroalkylsulfonylating agent, NfF offers the advantages of lower cost and greater stability over the more frequently used triflic anhydride. The fluoride leaving group is readily substituted by nucleophiles such as amines, phenoxides, and enolates, giving sulfonamides, aryl nonaflates, and alkenyl nonaflates, respectively. However, it is not attacked by water (in which it is stable at pH<12). Hydrolysis by barium hydroxide gives Ba(ONf)2, which upon treatment with sulfuric acid gives perfluorobutanesulfonic acid and insoluble barium sulfate.
