摘要
To improve the atom-and step-economy of organic syntheses, researchers would like to capitalize upon the chemistry of otherwise inert carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds. During the past decade, remarkable progress in organometallic chemistry has set the stage for the development of increasingly viable metal catalysts for C-H bond activation reactions. Among these methods, oxidative C-H bond functionalizations are particularly attractive because they avoid the use of prefunctionalized starting materials. For example, oxidative annulations that Involve sequential C-H and heteroatom-H bond deavages allow for the modular assembly of regioselectively decorated heterocydes. These structures serve as key scaffolds for natural products, functional materials, crop protecting agents, and drugs. While other researchers have devised rhodium or palladium complexes for oxidative alkyne annulations, my laboratory has focused on the application of significantly less expensive, yet highly selective ruthenium complexes. This Account summarizes the evolution of versatile ruthenium(II) complexes for annulations of alkynes via C-H/N-H, C-H/O-H, or C-H/N-O bond deavages. To achieve selective C-H bond functionalizations, we needed to understand the detailed mechanism of the crucial C-H bond metalation with ruthenium(II) complexes and particularly the importance of carboxylate assistance in this process. As a consequence, our recent efforts have resulted in widely applicable methods for the versatile preparation of differently decorated arenes and heteroarenes, providing access to among others isoquinolones, 2-pyridones, isoquinolines, indoles, pyrroles, or alpha-pyrones. Most of these reactions used Cu(OAc)(2)center dot H2O, which not only acted as the oxidant but also served as the essential source of acetate for the carboxylate-assisted ruthenation manifold. Notably, the ruthenium(11)-catalyzed oxidative annulations also occurred under an ambient atmosphere of air with cocatalytic amounts of Cu(OAc)(2)center dot H2O. Moreover, substrates displaying N-O bonds served as "internal oxidants" for the syntheses of isoquinolones and isoquinolines. Detailed experimental mechanistic studies have provided strong support for a catalytic cycle that relies on initial carboxylate-assisted C-H bond ruthenation, followed by coordinative insertion of the alkyne, reductive elimination, and reoxidation of the thus formed ruthenium(0) complex.
