Abstract

The scalable, catalytic alkoxycarbonylchlorination of alkenes from alkyloxalyl chlorides, generated in situ from oxalyl chlorides and alcohols, by a combination of 4-cyanopyridine-N-oxide and Fe(II)-bipyridine has been developed. A broad range of functional groups is tolerated with high regio- and chemoselectivity. The breadth of this protocol is demonstrated by the successful engagement of ...

The scalable, catalytic alkoxycarbonylchlorination of alkenes from alkyloxalyl chlorides, generated in situ from oxalyl chlorides and alcohols, by a combination of 4-cyanopyridine-N-oxide and Fe(II)-bipyridine has been developed. A broad range of functional groups is tolerated with high regio- and chemoselectivity. The breadth of this protocol is demonstrated by the successful engagement of activated and unactivated alkenes, including late-stage functionalization of alkenes containing pharmacophores. Control experiments and mechanistic investigations, such as NMR, EPR, and radical trapping analyses, indicate that the in situ-formed alkyloxalyl chloride-pyridine-N-oxide adduct undergoes decarboxylative photoinduced N−O bond fragmentation to generate acyl radicals, whereas the Fe(II) catalyst acts as a redox-neutral electron shuttle and assists chloride transfer via a radical ligand transfer (RLT) pathway.
