Insights into the Role of Transient Chiral Mediators and Pyridone Ligands in Asymmetric Pd-Catalyzed C–H Functionalization
Abstract
Mechanistic investigations uncover a novel role for 2-pyridone ligands and interrogate the origin of enantioselectivity in the (+)-norbornene-mediated Pd-catalyzed meta-C(aryl)–H functionalization of diarylmethylamines. Observations from kinetic analysis in concert with in situ ¹⁹F NMR monitoring allow us to propose that the pyridone ligand plays a role in enhancing the rate- and enantio-determining insertion of an arylpalladium species into a chiral norbornene derivative. The unprecedented features of 2-pyridone ligands in asymmetric 1,2 migratory insertion, and norbornene as a transient chiral mediator in relay chemistry, provide new insights into this ligand scaffold for future developments in stereoselective transition-metal-catalyzed C–H functionalization.
