ABSTRACT: A palladium-catalyzed stereospecific alkylation of allylamines with primary and secondary alkyl iodides is described. Isoquinoline-1-carboxamide (IQA) acts as directing group to generate multi-substituted olefin products in cis configuration in moderate to good yields. Mechanistic studies suggest that alkenyl C–H bond activation is the rate-determining step.

KEYWORDS: palladium, alkylation, alkenyl C-H activation, bidentate directing group, stereospecific.

Direct transition metal-catalyzed C-H alkylation1,2 has become a popular and highly efficient method for C-C bond formation. Alkylation of aromatic C(sp2)-H2,3 and aliphatic C(sp3)-H2,4 is well documented, but direct functionalization of alkenyl C(sp2)-H2 remains relatively challenging due to competing reactions involving unsaturated π bonds in alkenes. A potentially attractive solution is stereospecific synthesis of substituted alkenes via directing group-mediated C(alkenyl)-H alkylation. This approach can generate synthetically useful multi-substituted alkenes.5 Since 19951d, numerous alkylating reagents (alkenes, alkyl electrophiles and alkyl metal reagents) have been used in C(alkenyl)-H alkylations catalyzed by Fe6, Co7, Ni8, Pd9, Re10, Ru1d,11, Rh1d,12, and Ir13. Despite impressive progress in this field, success has been limited primarily to activated alkenes such as α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, vinylpyridines, α,β-unsaturated imines, enamides and enolates. In contrast, reactions with common alkenes remain largely undeveloped.14-18 Few examples have been reported of stereoselective C(alkenyl)-H functionalization of unactivated alkenes. In 2013, Li and coworkers reported Rh(III)-catalyzed alkenylation of allylamines using sulfonamide as the directing group (Scheme 1a, eq 1).14 The Zhao group later reported oxalyl amide-directed silylation of allylamines and homoallylamines (Scheme 1a, eq 2) as well as their carbonylation (Scheme 1a, eq 3).15 In 2017, Babu and co-workers used picolinamide (PA) to direct C(alkenyl)−H arylation (Scheme 1a, eq 4).16 Recently, our group reported stereoselective cross-coupling between homoallylic alcohols and electron-deficient alkenes with assistance from hydroxyl group chelation and in the presence of palladium catalyst (Scheme 1a, eq 1).17

Given our continued interest in transition metal-catalyzed oxidative alkenyl C-H functionalization,17,19 we report the palladium-catalyzed, isoquinoline-1-carboxamide (IQA)directed alkylation of allylamines with alkyl iodides.20 This reaction is more challenging than previous examples of alkenyl C-H bond functionalization, because it involves alkyl iodides that react readily with nucleophilic ligands, base and substrate, leading to the premature termination of catalytic C-H alkylation. In addition, base-promoted elimination of alkyl iodides can occur as a competing reaction, especially in the case of secondary and tertiary alkyl halides.21 a) Previous work: Chelation assisted stereoselective functionalization of alkenyl C-H bond n

desired (Z)-alkylation product 3a was obtained in 14% yield under previously developed reaction conditions22 (Table 1, entry 1). Removing the additive NaOTf improved yield to 29% (Table 1, entry 2). The promoters (BnO)2PO2H, PivOH, TsNH2, and Ag2CO3, which are frequently used in C-H alkylation,4b did not work efficiently in the alkylation. Further screening of additives (see Supplementary Tables S4 and S5)23 showed that 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) and 18-crown-6 (18-Cr-6) significantly improved yield (Table 1, entries 7 and 8). Next, various palladium catalysts, bases, and solvents were examined sequentially (see Supplementary Tables S1–S3), and they did not lead to better results. Screening of bidentate directing groups (see Supplementary Table S7) showed that IQA generated the desired (Z)-alkylation product 3a in 62% yield.

With the optimized reaction conditions in hand, we explored the substrate scope of alkenes using n-iodobutane 2a (Table 2). Various 1,1-disubstituted aliphatic alkenes such as 1a and 1d-1i with different functionalities worked well, affording the corresponding coupling products in moderate to high yields. Aryl-substituted alkenes gave the corresponding products in moderate yields (3k-3m). Unfortunately, the mono-substituted alkene afforded the desired product 3b in poor yield, while alkylation reaction was applicable to the tri-substituted cyclic alkene such as 1d. A branched allylamine also gave the desired product 3j in moderate yield (Table 2). However, the protected homoallyamine failed to work under the standard conditions (Table 2, 3n). Table 2.

ethylation were achieved, affording the corresponding cisisomers exclusively. Primary iodoalkanes with a long carbon chain or bearing various functionalities reacted smoothly with the allylamine 1h, generating the corresponding products in high yields. This reaction did not permit appreciable β-H elimination under standard conditions, since the level of elimination side-product from iodoalkane 2k was only about 2%, based on 1HNMR. The substrates 6-iodohexene (2i) and cyclopropylmethyl iodide (2j) afforded the corresponding products in good yields, without detectable amounts of rearrangement or ring-opening products. Thus, the coupling reaction does not appear to involve radical-mediated oxidative addition. Secondary alkyl iodides were less reactive than other substrates: 2-iodopropane (1q), sec-butyl iodide (1r), and iodocyclopentane (1s) gave only low to moderate yields of the corresponding products and only after increasing the loadings of catalyst and iodoalkanes (Condition C). Moreover, in the presence of 2 equivalents of KI (Condition B), alkyl bromides were similarly efficient as alkyl iodides (Table 3, 4d).

Treating 4d with NaOH in 2-propanol at 82 oC easily removed the isoquinoline-1-carbonyl group (eq 1) to yield the (Z)-2-isopropylundec-2-en-1-amine (5) in excellent yield.24 The removable protecting group enabled this alkylation protocol to synthesize the key fragment of the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor (2S,5Z)-2-amino-6-methyl-7[(1iminoethyl)amino]-5-heptenoic acid (eq 2).25 Despite the desired product 3at was only obtained in 15% yield, the direct formation of key fragment was more atomic economy compared with previous work to access a similar allylamine motif via several steps (22% yield).25b Me

To explore the mechanism of this alkylation, the reaction was conducted with N-(2-methylallyl)isoquinoline-1carboxamide 1a and its deuterated analogue 1a-D2 under standard conditions. A primary kinetic isotope effect of 3.3 was observed, suggesting that C-H bond cleavage is the ratedetermining step (eq 3). A palladium complex 6 chelated by two molecules of 1a was isolated in 92% yield, and the structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis26 (eq 4, CCDC 1873826). Complex 6 was also detected under excess 1a (1a and Pd(OAc)2 in 10:1 molar ratio, see SI 2.8 for details) (Figure 1, A). However, when the substrate 1a reacted with Pd(OAc)2 in a 1:1 molar ratio, a messy mixture was obtained (eq 5). These results suggest that excess substrate 1a favors the formation of complex 6. Replacing the Pd(OAc)2 catalyst with complex 6 allowed smooth alkylation (eq 6).

Next, we analyzed how initial reaction rate between 1a and 2d depends on [Pd], [1a], and [2d] (Figure 2, A-C). Dependence on amount of Pd(OAc)2 was first-order (Figure 2A), suggesting that the palladium catalyst participates in the C–H activation step. Dependence on [1a] or [2d] was zero-

order, indicating that residual 1a and 2d might not participate in the catalytic progression from complex 6 to the rate-determing step (Figure 2B and 2C). We also cannot exclude the possibility that fast and reversible substrate binding occurs, such that complex 7 participates in the rate-determining step, in which the dissociation step might not expect to be reflected in the global rate law.27 The concentration of product 3ad over time was measured in the presence of different additives (Figure 2D). The initial rate of alkylation was similar in the presence or absence of TEMPO, suggesting that it is not involved in the catalytic cycle. Instead, it may serve to reoxidize any stray Pd(0) lost off-cycle. In contrast, the initial reaction rate was slower in the absence of 18-Cr-6 than in its presence. It is possible that its stronger coordination ability with Pd(II) allows it to inhibit formation of unreactive PdI2 species, thereby accelerating the reaction. i

whose absolute configuration was determined. The results suggest that stereoselective coupling of iodoalkane 2u occurs via an SN2 pathway21d rather than a concerted pathway21e, in accordance with Lautens’ observation.21d On the basis of these results, we propose a plausible catalytic cycle (Scheme 2). First, the palladium complex 6 generated from Pd(OAc)2 and protected allylamine 1a isomerizes into the intermediate I or undergoes substrate dissociation to access a less-stable intermediate I’, enabling alkenyl C-H activation and subsequent concerted base-assisted metalation-deprotonation to afford an intermediate II. Oxidative addition of iodoalkane with intermediate II generates a Pd(IV) species III, which undergoes reductive elimination. The desired alkylation product 3a and catalyst 6 are generated in the presence of potassium carbonate and another molecule of allyl isoquinoline1-carboxamide 1a. In summary, we have developed a reliable method for stereospecific alkylation of allylamines via alkenyl C-H bond activation. (Z)-tri- and tetra-substituted functionalized alkenes were prepared in moderate to high yields. The isoquinoline-1carbonyl auxiliary can be removed conveniently. Detailed kinetics studies suggest that alkenyl C-H activation is the ratedetermining step.

Scheme 2. Proposed Mechanistic Pathway. To gain more insights into the mechanism, we analyzed coupling between 1h and the secondary halide (R)-2iodooctane 2u (94 % ee), prepared from commercially available (S)-octan-2-ol. The alkylation product 4u was obtained with only 5% ee under slightly modified reaction conditions (eq 7, Condition C). When a higher catalyst loading of Pd(OAc)2 (25 mol %) and a short reaction time (1 h) were employed (eq 6, Condition D), 20% ee was observed. The low ee of 4u may be due to rapid racemization of 2u induced by I- anion generated during alkylation and elimination. The product 4u was derivatized into (S)-2-methyloctyl 4-methoxybenzoate 8 (eq 8),
