Liang S, Jensen MP. [Fe(NCMe) 6](BF 4) 2 is a bifunctional catalyst for styrene aziridination by nitrene transfer and heterocycle expansion by subsequent dipolar insertion. J Inorg Biochem 2024; 256:112551. [PMID: 38678911 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2024.112551] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2024] [Revised: 03/24/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
The solvated iron(II) salt [Fe(NCMe)6](BF4)2 (Me = methyl) is shown to be a bifunctional catalyst with respect to aziridination of styrene. The salt serves as an active catalyst for nitrene transfer from PhINTs to styrene to form 2-phenyl-N-tosylaziridine (Ph = phenyl; Ts = tosyl, -S{O}2-p-C6H4Me). The iron(II) salt also acts as a Lewis acid in non-coordinating CH2Cl2 solution, to catalyze heterolytic CN bond cleavage of the aziridine and insertion of dipolarophiles. The 1,3-zwitterionic intermediate is presumably supported by interaction of the metal dication with the anion, and by resonance stabilization of the carbocation. Nucleophilic dipolarophiles then insert to give a five-membered heterocyclic ring. The result is a two-step cycloaddition, formally [2 + 1 + 2], that is typically regiospecific, but not stereospecific. This reaction mechanism was confirmed by conducting a series of one-step, [3 + 2] additions of unsaturated molecules into pre-formed 2-phenyl-N-tosylaziridine, also catalyzed by [Fe(NCMe)6](BF4)2. Relevant substrates include styrenes, carbonyl compounds and alkynes. These yield five-membered heterocylic rings, including pyrrolidines, oxazolidines and dihydropyrroles, respectively. The reaction scope appears limited only by the barrier to formation of the dipolar intermediate, and by the nucleophilicity of the captured dipolarophile. The bifunctionality of an inexpensive, earth-abundant and non-toxic catalyst suggests a general strategy for one-pot construction of heterocyclic rings, as demonstrated specifically for pyrrolidine ring formation.

Abstract
Nitrene transfer reactions catalyzed by heme proteins have broad potential for the stereoselective formation of carbon-nitrogen bonds. However, competition between productive nitrene transfer and the undesirable reduction of nitrene precursors limits the broad implementation of such biocatalytic methods. Here, we investigated the reduction of azides by the model heme protein myoglobin to gain mechanistic insights into the factors that control the fate of key reaction intermediates. In this system, the reaction proceeds via a proposed nitrene intermediate that is rapidly reduced and protonated to give a reactive ferrous amide species, which we characterized by UV/vis and Mössbauer spectroscopies, quantum mechanical calculations, and X-ray crystallography. Rate-limiting protonation of the ferrous amide to produce the corresponding amine is the final step in the catalytic cycle. These findings contribute to our understanding of the heme protein-catalyzed reduction of azides and provide a guide for future enzyme engineering campaigns to create more efficient nitrene transferases. Moreover, harnessing the reduction reaction in a chemoenzymatic cascade provided a potentially practical route to substituted pyrroles.

[PMID: 38155653 PMCID: PMC10751768 DOI: 10.1021/jacsau.3c00670] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023]
Abstract
Detailed electronic structure and its correlation with the intramolecular C-H amination reactivity of Fe-porphyrin-nitrene intermediates bearing different "axial" coordination have been investigated using multiconfigurational complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF), N-electron valence perturbation theory (NEVPT2), and hybrid density functional theory (DFT-B3LYP) calculations. Three types of "axial" coordination, -OMe/-O(H)Me (1-Sul/2-Sul), -SMe/-S(H)Me (3-Sul/4-Sul), and -NMeIm (MeIm = 3-methyl-imidazole) (5-Sul) mimicking serine, cysteine, and histidine, respectively, along with no axial coordination (6-Sul) have been considered to decipher how the "axial" coordination of different strengths regulates the electronic integrity of the Fe-N core and nitrene-transfer reactivity of Fe-porphyrin-nitrene intermediates. CASSCF-based natural orbitals reveal two distinct classes of electronic structures: Fe-nitrenes (1-Sul and 3-Sul) with relatively stronger axial coordination (-OMe and -SMe) display "imidyl" nature and those (2-Sul, 4-Sul, and 6-Sul) with weaker axial coordination (-O(H)Me, -S(H)Me and no axial coordination) exhibit "imido-like" character. A borderline between the two classes is also observed with NMeIm axial coordination (5-Sul). Axial coordination of different strengths not only regulates the electronic structure but also modulates the Fe-3d orbital energies, as revealed through the d-d transition energies obtained by CASSCF/NEVPT2 calculations. The relatively lower energy of Fe-3dz2 orbital allows easy access to low-lying high-spin quintet states in the cases of weaker "axial" coordination (2-Sul, 4-Sul, and 6-Sul), and the associated hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactivity appears to involve two-state triplet-quintet reactivity through minimum energy crossing point (3,5MECP) between the spin states. In stark contrast, Fe-nitrenes with relatively stronger "axial" coordination (1-Sul and 3-Sul) undergo triplet-only HAT reactivity. Overall, this in-depth electronic structure investigation and HAT reactivity evaluation reveal that the weaker axial coordination in Fe-porphyrin-nitrene complexes (2-Sul, 4-Sul, and 6-Sul) can promote more efficient C-H oxidation through the quintet spin state.

Abstract
Nitrogenase is a fascinating enzyme in biology that reduces dinitrogen from air to ammonia through stepwise reduction and protonation. Despite it being studied in detail by experimental and computational groups, there are still many unknown factors in the catalytic cycle of nitrogenase, especially related to the addition of protons and electrons and their order. A recent biomimetic study characterized a potential dinitrogen-bridged diiron cluster as a synthetic model of nitrogenase. Using strong acid and reductants, the dinitrogen was converted into ammonia molecules, but details of the mechanism remains unknown. In particular, it was unclear from the experimental studies whether the proton and electron transfer steps are sequential or alternating. Moreover, the work failed to establish what the function of the diiron core is and whether it split into mononuclear iron fragments during the reaction. To understand the structure and reactivity of the biomimetic dinitrogen-bridged diiron complex [(P2P'PhFeH)2(μ-N2)] with triphenylphosphine ligands, we performed a density functional theory study. Our computational methods were validated against experimental crystal structure coordinates, Mössbauer parameters, and vibrational frequencies and show excellent agreement. Subsequently, we investigated the alternating and consecutive addition of electrons and protons to the system. The calculations identify a number of possible reaction channels, namely, same-site protonation, alternating protonation, and complex dissociation into mononuclear iron centers. The calculations show that the overall mechanism is not a pure sequential set of electron and proton transfers but a mixture of alternating and consecutive steps. In particular, the first reaction steps will start with double proton transfer followed by an electron transfer, while thereafter, there is another proton transfer and a second electron transfer to give a complex whereby ammonia can split off with a low energetic barrier. The second channel starts with alternating protonation of the two nitrogen atoms, whereafter the initial double proton transfer, electrons and protons are added sequentially to form a hydrazine-bound complex. The latter split off ammonia spontaneously after further protonation. The various reaction channels are analyzed with valence bond and orbital diagrams. We anticipate the nitrogenase enzyme to operate with mixed alternating and consecutive protonation and electron transfer steps.

Abstract
Cyclic iron tetracarbenes are an emerging class of macrocyclic iron N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes. They can be considered as an organometallic compound class inspired by their heme analogs, however, their electronic properties differ, e.g. due to the very strong σ-donation of the four combined NHCs in equatorial coordination. The ligand framework of iron tetracarbenes can be readily modified, allowing fine-tuning of the structural and electronic properties of the complexes. The properties of iron tetracarbene complexes are discussed quantitatively and correlations are established. The electronic nature of the tetracarbene ligand allows the isolation of uncommon iron(III) and iron(IV) species and reveals a unique reactivity. Iron tetracarbenes are successfully applied in C-H activation, CO2 reduction, aziridination and epoxidation catalysis and mechanisms as well as decomposition pathways are described. This review will help researchers evaluate the structural and electronic properties of their complexes and target their catalyst properties through ligand design.

Abstract
Alkene functionalization with a single-atom catalyst (SAC) which merges homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis is a fascinating route to obtain high-value-added molecules. However, C-N bond formation of alkene with SAC is still unexplored. Herein, a bimetal-organic framework-derived Co-N/C catalyst with an atomically dispersed cobalt center is reported to show good activity of chemoselective aziridination/oxyamination reactions from alkene and hydroxylamine, and late-stage functionalization of complex alkenes and diversified synthetic transformations of the aziridine product further expand the utility of this method. Moreover, this system proceeds without external oxidants and exhibits mild, atom-economic, and recyclable characters. Detailed spectroscopic characterizations and mechanistic studies revealed the structure of the catalytic center and possible intermediates involved in the mechanism cycle.

Abstract
A catalytic system for intramolecular C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H amination of substituted tetrazolopyridines has been successfully developed. The amination reactions are developed using an iron-porphyrin based catalytic system. It has been demonstrated that the same iron-porphyrin based catalytic system efficiently activates both the C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H bonds of the tetrazole as well as azide-featuring substrates with a high level of regioselectivity. The method exhibited an excellent functional group tolerance. The method affords three different classes of high-value N-heterocyclic scaffolds. A number of important late-stage C-H aminations have been performed to access important classes of molecules. Detailed studies (experimental and computational) showed that both the C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H amination reactions involve a metalloradical activation mechanism, which is different from the previously reported electro-cyclization mechanism. Collectively, this study reports the discovery of a new class of metalloradical activation modes using a base metal catalyst that should find wide application in the context of medicinal chemistry, drug discovery and industrial applications.

Abstract
Herein, we report the reactions of an Fe(II) imido complex [Ph2B(tBuIm)2Fe═NDipp]- (1) with internal alkynes and isobutyronitrile, affording the Fe amido allenyl complexes [Ph2B(tBuIm)2Fe(NHDipp)((R1)C═C═C(R2)(H))]- (R1 = Et or nPr; R2 = Me or Et, 2-5) and the Fe amido keteniminate complex [Ph2B(tBuIm)2Fe(NHDipp)(N═C═CMe2)K(THF)]n (8-K), respectively. These transformations represent the previously unknown ene-like reactivity of a metal-ligand multiple bond. Stoichiometric reactions of 2 and 8-K with DippNH2 lead to the regeneration of 3-hexyne and isobutyronitrile, respectively, with concomitant formation of the bis(anilido) complex [Ph2B(tBuIm)2Fe(NHDipp)2]- (9). These results provide the platform for 1 as an efficient catalyst for the selective α-deuteration of nitriles and alkynes by RND2. These results demonstrate a new reaction mode for metal imido complexes and suggest new avenues for using the imido ligand in catalysis.

Abstract
Treatment of Mn(N(SiMe3)2)2(THF)2 with bulky chelating bis(alkoxide) ligand [1,1′:4′,1′′-terphenyl]-2,2′′-diylbis(diphenylmethanol) (H2[O-terphenyl-O]Ph) formed a seesaw manganese(II) complex Mn[O-terphenyl-O]Ph(THF)2, characterized by structural, spectroscopic, magnetic, and analytical methods. The reactivity of Mn[O-terphenyl-O]Ph(THF)2 with various nitrene precursors was investigated. No reaction was observed between Mn[O-terphenyl-O]Ph(THF)2 and aryl azides. In contrast, the treatment of Mn[O-terphenyl-O]Ph(THF)2 with iminoiodinane PhINTs (Ts = p-toluenesulfonyl) was consistent with the formation of a metal-nitrene complex. In the presence of styrene, the reaction led to the formation of aziridine. Combining varying ratios of styrene and PhINTs in different solvents with 10 mol% of Mn[O-terphenyl-O]Ph(THF)2 at room temperature produced 2-phenylaziridine in up to a 79% yield. Exploration of the reactivity of Mn[O-terphenyl-O]Ph(THF)2 with various olefins revealed (1) moderate aziridination yields for p-substituted styrenes, irrespective of the electronic nature of the substituent; (2) moderate yield for 1,1′-disubstituted α-methylstyrene; (3) no aziridination for aliphatic α-olefins; (4) complex product mixtures for the β-substituted styrenes. DFT calculations suggest that iminoiodinane is oxidatively added upon binding to Mn, and the resulting formal imido intermediate has a high-spin Mn(III) center antiferromagnetically coupled to an imidyl radical. This imidyl radical reacts with styrene to form a sextet intermediate that readily reductively eliminates the formation of a sextet Mn(II) aziridine complex.

Abstract
![]()
Cobalt-catalyzed C–H amination via M-nitrenoid
species is
spiking the interest of the research community. Understanding this
process at a molecular level is a challenging task, and here we report
a well-defined macrocyclic system featuring a pseudo-Oh aryl-CoIII species that
reacts with aliphatic azides to effect intramolecular Csp2–N bond formation. Strikingly, a putative aryl-Co=NR
nitrenoid intermediate species is formed and is rapidly trapped by
a carboxylate ligand to form a carboxylate masked-nitrene, which functions
as a shortcut to stabilize and guide the reaction to productive intramolecular
Csp2–N bond formation. On one hand, several intermediate
species featuring the Csp2–N bond formed have been
isolated and structurally characterized, and the essential role of
the carboxylate ligand has been proven. Complementarily, a thorough
density functional theory study of the Csp2–N bond
formation mechanism explains at the molecular level the key role of
the carboxylate-masked nitrene species, which is essential to tame
the metastability of the putative aryl-CoIII=NR
nitrene species to effectively yield the Csp2–N
products. The solid molecular mechanistic scheme determined for the
Csp2–N bond forming reaction is fully supported
by both experimental and computation complementary studies. A well-defined pseudo-Oh aryl-CoIII species reacts
with aliphatic azides
to effect intramolecular Csp2−N bond formation via
a carboxylate masked-CoIII-nitrene, which serves as a shortcut
to guide the reaction to productive Csp2−N bond
formation.

Abstract
Described herein is a practical and convenient approach that enabled radical-mediated conjugate addition of unreactive alkenes to electron-deficient alkenes leading to a broad range of substituted malononitriles. These reactions are believed to proceed by Fe-catalysed hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) onto the alkenes affording carbon-centered radical intermediates with Markovnikov selectivity, followed by the capture of electron-deficient alkenes. We explored this synthesis approach under mild conditions with high efficiency and broad substrate scope and the utility is highlighted by the further synthetic transformations of the obtained substituted malononitriles.

Abstract
Amines are ubiquitous in biology and pharmacy. As a consequence, introducing N functionalities in organic molecules is attracting strong continuous interest. The past decade has witnessed the emergence of very efficient and selective catalytic systems achieving this goal thanks to engineered hemoproteins. In this review, we examine how these enzymes have been engineered focusing rather on the rationale behind it than the methodology employed. These studies are put in perspective with respect to in vitro and in vivo nitrene transfer processes performed by cytochromes P450. An emphasis is put on mechanistic aspects which are confronted to current molecular knowledge of these reactions. Forthcoming developments are delineated.

Abstract
Mixed-valence non-heme diiron centers are present at the active sites of a few enzymes and confer them interesting reactivities with the two ions acting in concert. Related (μ-phenoxido)diiron complexes have been developed as enzyme mimics. They exhibit very rich spectroscopic properties enabling independent monitoring of each individual ion, which proved useful for mechanistic studies of catalytic hydrolysis and oxidation reactions. In our studies of such complexes, we observed that these compounds give rise to a wide variety of electron transfers (intervalence charge transfer), proton transfers (tautomerism), coupled electron and proton transfers (H. abstraction and PCET). In this minireview, we present and analyze the main results illustrating the latter aspects.

Abstract
Herein we describe the synthesis and characterization of a variety of new quasilinear metal(i/ii) silylamides of the type [M(N(Dipp)SiR3)2]0,- (M = Cr-Co) with different silyl substituents (SiR3 = SiPh3-nMen (n = 1-3), SiMe2(allyl)). By comparison of the solid state structures we show that in the case of phenyl substituents secondary metal-ligand interactions are suppressed upon reduction of the metal. Introduction of an allyl substituted silylamide gives divalent complexes with additional metal-π-alkene interactions with only weak activation of the C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bond but substantial bending of the principal N-M-N axis. 1e--reduction makes cobalt a more strongly bound alkene substituent, whereas for chromium, reduction and intermolecular dimerisation of the allyl unit are observed. It thus indicates that the general view of low-coordinate 3d-metal ions as electron deficient seems not to apply to anionic metal(i) complexes. Additionally, the obtained cobalt(i) complexes are reacted with an aryl azide giving trigonal imido metal complexes. These can be regarded as rare examples of high-spin imido cobalt compounds from their structural and solution magnetic features.

Abstract
Recent research has highlighted the key role played by the electron affinity of the active metal-nitrene/imido oxidant as the driving force in nitrene additions to olefins to afford valuable aziridines. The present work showcases a library of Co(II) reagents that, unlike the previously examined Mn(II) and Fe(II) analogues, demonstrate reactivity trends in olefin aziridinations that cannot be solely explained by the electron affinity criterion. A family of Co(II) catalysts (17 members) has been synthesized with the assistance of a trisphenylamido-amine scaffold decorated by various alkyl, aryl, and acyl groups attached to the equatorial amidos. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, cyclic voltammetry and EPR data reveal that the high-spin Co(II) sites (S = 3/2) feature a minimal [N3N] coordination and span a range of 1.4 V in redox potentials. Surprisingly, the Co(II)-mediated aziridination of styrene demonstrates reactivity patterns that deviate from those anticipated by the relevant electrophilicities of the putative metal nitrenes. The representative L4Co catalyst (-COCMe3 arm) is operating faster than the L8Co analogue (-COCF3 arm), in spite of diminished metal-nitrene electrophilicity. Mechanistic data (Hammett plots, KIE, stereocontrol studies) reveal that although both reagents follow a two-step reactivity path (turnover-limiting metal-nitrene addition to the C b atom of styrene, followed by product-determining ring-closure), the L4Co catalyst is associated with lower energy barriers in both steps. DFT calculations indicate that the putative [L4Co]NTs and [L8Co]NTs species are electronically distinct, inasmuch as the former exhibits a single-electron oxidized ligand arm. In addition, DFT calculations suggest that including London dispersion corrections for L4Co (due to the polarizability of the tert-Bu substituent) can provide significant stabilization of the turnover-limiting transition state. This study highlights how small ligand modifications can generate stereoelectronic variants that in certain cases are even capable of overriding the preponderance of the metal-nitrene electrophilicity as a driving force.

Abstract
The oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reactivity of the non-heme [FeIV (2PyN2Q)(O)]2+ (2) containing the sterically bulky quinoline-pyridine pentadentate ligand (2PyN2Q) has been thoroughly studied with different olefins. The ferryl-oxo complex 2 shows excellent OAT reactivity during epoxidations. The steric encumbrance and electronic effect of the ligand influence the mechanistic shuttle between OAT pathway I and isomerization pathway II (during the reaction stereo pure olefins), resulting in a mixture of cis-trans epoxide products. In contrast, the sterically less hindered and electronically different [FeIV (N4Py)(O)]2+ (1) provides only cis-stilbene epoxide. A Hammett study suggests the role of dominant inductive electronic along with minor resonance effect during electron transfer from olefin to 2 in the rate-limiting step. Additionally, a computational study supports the involvement of stepwise pathways during olefin epoxidation. The ferryl bend due to the bulkier ligand incorporation leads to destabilization of both d z 2 and d x 2 - y 2 orbitals, leading to a very small quintet-triplet gap and enhanced reactivity for 2 compared to 1. Thus, the present study unveils the role of steric and electronic effects of the ligand towards mechanistic modification during olefin epoxidation.

Abstract
Non-heme iron complexes with cis-FeIII(OH)(SAr/OAr) coordination were isolated and examined for their reactivity with a tertiary carbon radical. The sulfur-ligated complex shows a temperature dependence on •OH versus ArS• transfer, whereas the oxygen-ligated complex does not. These results provide the first working model for C-S bond formation in isopenicillin N synthase and indicate that kinetic control may be a key factor in the selectivity of non-heme iron "rebound" processes.

Abstract
Multicomponent reactions are attracting strong interest because they contribute to develop more efficient synthetic chemistry. Understanding their mechanism at the molecular level is thus an important issue to optimize their operation. The development of integrated experimental and theoretical approaches has very recently emerged as most powerful to achieve this goal. In the wake of our recent investigation of amidine synthesis, we used this approach to explore how an Fe-catalyzed aziridination can lead to an imidazoline when run in acetonitrile. We report that the synthesis of imidazoline by combination of styrene, acetonitrile, an iron catalyst and a nitrene precursor occurs along a new kind of multicomponent reaction. The formation of imidazoline results from acetonitrile interception of a benzyl radical styrene aziridination intermediate within Fe coordination sphere, as opposed to classical nucleophilic opening of the aziridine by a Lewis acid. Comparison of this mechanism to that of amidine formation allows a rationalization of the modes of intermediates trapping by acetonitrile according to the oxidation state Fe active species. The molecular understanding of these processes may help to design other multicomponent reactions.

Abstract
As a readily available feedstock, styrene with about 25 million tons of global annual production serves as an important building block and organic synthon for the synthesis of fine chemicals, polystyrene plastics, and elastomers. Thus, in the past decades, many direct transformations of this costless styrene feedstock were disclosed for the preparation of high-value chemicals, which to date, generally performed on the functionalization of styrenes through the allylic C-H bond, C(sp2)-H bond, or the C=C double bond cleavage. However, the dealkenylative functionalization of styrenes via the direct C-C single bond cleavage is so far challenging and still unknown. Herein, we report the novel and efficient C-C amination and hydroxylation reactions of styrenes for the synthesis of valuable aryl amines and phenols via the site-selective C(Ar)-C(alkenyl) single bond cleavage. This chemistry unlocks the new transformation and application of the styrene feedstock and provides an efficient protocol for the late-stage modification of substituted styrenes with the site-directed dealkenylative amination and hydroxylation.
