Abstract

:
Iodonium ylides have recently attracted much attention on account of their synthetic applications. However, only a limited number of reports concerning the properties and reactivity of iodonium ylides exist, which is partly due to their instability. In this study, we synthesized several iodonium ylides that bear both an electron-withdrawing group and an aromatic ring with an ortho-t-BuSO2 group. Based on the crystal structures of the synthesized iodonium ylides in combination with natural-bond-orbital (NBO) calculations, we estimated the strength of the intra- and intermolecular halogen-bonding interactions. In addition, we investigated the reactivity of the iodonium ylides under photoirradiation.

1. Introduction

Iodonium ylides, a class of hypervalent iodine compounds [1], have attracted much attention due to their use as carbene precursors for C‒H-insertion and cyclopropanation reactions (Scheme 1a) [2,3]. Moreover, iodonium ylides have been used for various synthetic applications, including condensations with thioamides to produce thiazole rings in aqueous media (Scheme 1b; Nu = thioamide) [4,5], and for the introduction of 18F atoms into aromatic rings (Scheme 1c; Nu = F−) [6,7]. It has also been reported that depending on the iodonium ylide and nucleophile that is employed, the equilibrium between the T-shaped intermediates A and B can be influenced [6,7], and thus, the ratio of coupling products C and D can be controlled.
However, to date, only a limited number of reports concerning the properties and reactivity of iodonium ylides have been published, which is at least in part due to their instability (e.g., degradation via intermediates A and/or B) on account of the remaining σ-hole of intermediates A and B, which can react with nucleophiles such as water. We anticipate that the synthesis of a variety of iodonium ylides and the investigation of their properties would provide essential information for the advancement of synthetic applications such as chemoselective coupling reactions. Of particular interest to us are iodonium ylides that contain a coordinating ortho group on the aromatic ring [8], as such groups are known to stabilize iodonium ylides and other hypervalent iodine compounds [5,6,7,8,9], thus increasing their solubility via intramolecular halogen bonding (XB) [10]. In this study, we synthesized several iodonium ylides bearing both an electron-withdrawing group and an aromatic ring with an ortho-t-BuSO2 group [8,11]. Based on the crystal structures of the synthesized iodonium ylides in combination with natural-bond-order (NBO) analysis, we also estimated the strength of the intra- and intermolecular XBs [12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23]. In addition, we investigated the reactivity of these iodonium ylides under photoirradiation [24,25,26,27].

2. Results

We began by synthesizing iodonium ylides 2 via the condensation of iodosobenzene 1 [11] with a variety of active methylene compounds (Table 1). The reaction of 1 and the active methylene compounds proceeded at 0 °C in etheric solvents such as THF or Et2O to furnish the corresponding iodonium ylides (2) as precipitates with H2O, as the sole byproduct. The desired products were collected by simple suction filtration and, following an n-hexane wash, produced the pure compounds in acceptable yield (for details, see the Supplementary Materials). The major advantage that this method [28] has over the conventional method that uses iodoarene diacetate and an active methylene compound under basic conditions is that it eliminates the need to remove the formed salt (e.g., KOAc or NaOAc) with an H2O wash [29]. We tested a wide range of active methylene compounds, which produced iodonium ylides 2a–h in 27–89% yield without significant decomposition during the purification. This is presumably due to the enhanced electrophilicity of the iodosobenzene compound and the increased stability of the product due to the presence of the coordinating ortho-sulfonyl group.
We also succeeded in obtaining single crystals of 2e and 2g that were suitable for an X-ray diffraction analysis; the molecular structures of these compounds are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, while pertinent crystallographic parameters are summarized in Table 2. As expected, the distance between the iodine atom (I1) and the oxygen atom (O5) of the ortho-sulfonyl group in 2e (2.737(3) Å) is within the sum of the van der Waals radii, implying the presence of an intramolecular XB interaction [10,19]. In addition, the analysis of the packing structure suggested the presence of an intermolecular XB in the solid state, in which the carbonyl oxygen (O11) and sulfonyl oxygen (O5) interact with the hypervalent iodine atom of 2e (Figure 1A). It is probably due to these interactions that 2e aligns to form the dimeric columnar structure shown in Figure 1B. The X-ray structure of 2g, which contains a residual molecule of chloroform, shows an intermolecular XB interaction in addition to the intramolecular XB with the ortho-t-BuSO2 group seen in 2e (Figure 2). This implies that this iodonium ylide may be able to recognize the substrates in coupling reactions via XB interactions.
To estimate the interaction energies of the intra- and intermolecular XBs, we performed an NBO analysis based on the crystal structure of 2e, using the gaussian software package (Figure 3) [30,31]. The analysis demonstrated that the C14‒I1 σ* orbital of the hypervalent iodine moiety in 2e overlaps with the three types of lone pairs (LPs) of the intramolecular sulfonyl oxygen (O5) (See the Supplementary Materials for the details of orbitals). The energies of these interactions were calculated to be 3.15, 0.79, and 4.73 kcal/mol, respectively (Figure 3A). Moreover, the intermolecular XB energies were estimated to be 0.70 and 0.29 kcal/mol, respectively (Figure 3B). These interaction energies may contribute to the relative stability of this type of iodonium ylide. The corresponding results of the NBO analysis performed for iodonium ylide 2g are summarized in Figure 4. The interaction energies seem to be stronger when the interaction distance is shorter and the interaction angle is closer to 180º, which is an ideal situation for XB interactions (Table 2).
Finally, we investigated the reactivity of the synthesized iodonium ylides under photoirradiation conditions (Scheme 2) [9,24,25,26,27]. When ylide 2a and ten equivalents of N-methylpyrrole were irradiated at 365 nm, the active methylene group was introduced at the C2 position of N-methylpyrrole in 61% yield (Scheme 2a). Unexpectedly, when ylide 2e–g and ten equivalents of N-methylpyrrole were irradiated at 365 nm, the aryl group (2-t-BuSO2C6H4) of the ylide was exclusively introduced at the C2 position of N-methylpyrrole (Scheme 2b).
Based on these observations and recent related reports by other groups [7], the reaction seems to proceed via a T-shaped tri-coordinated intermediate, which is different from a free carbene species [32]. The T-shaped tricoordinated intermediate could be formed via a biradical species generated via photoirradiation [33]. The unexpected selectivity of the reductive elimination might be explained by the steric hindrance of the dimedone and Meldrum’s acid moieties in 2f and 2g, although a detailed mechanism for this transformation, including the selectivity in the case of 2e, is not clear at this stage. Iodonium ylides 2c and 2h gave the coupling product 4 in 43% and 31%, respectively, while 2b and 2d did not afford any coupling products, presumably due to degradation under photoirradiation.

3. Conclusions

We have synthesized a series of novel iodonium ylides that bear a coordinating ortho-t-BuSO2 group on their aryl rings, and we have analyzed the crystal structures of two of these molecules. Intra- and intermolecular halogen bonding (XB) interactions were observed in the crystal structures of two ylides that were structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. The synthesized iodonium ylides were found to serve as active transfer reagents of methylene or aryl groups. Further synthetic applications and mechanistic studies are currently under investigation in our laboratory.
