Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of photoelectric asymmetric catalysis, and particularly relates to a method for photoelectric synergistic vanadium catalytic enantioselective carbon oxidation of olefins. BACKGROUND
[0002] C(sp 3 )-H bond refers to a single bond formed by a carbon atom with an sp 3 hybridized orbital and a hydrogen atom, commonly found in alkanes (such as methane, ethane), alcohols, ethers, aliphatic compounds, etc. Such bonds are very common in bulk chemicals (such as petroleum, natural gas, basic organic raw materials). The bond dissociation energy of C(sp 3 )-H is relatively high, so it is difficult to be activated or functionalized (i.e., introducing other functional groups such as -OH, -Cl, -CN, etc.) under mild conditions. In contrast, some unsaturated bonds (such as C=C) or heteroatom bonds (such as O-H, N-H) are more easily broken or involved in reactions.
[0003] Direct high-value conversion of bulk chemical raw materials, especially direct functionalization of the ubiquitous C(sp 3 )-H bond in bulk chemicals, is a molecular construction method with high atom economy and step economy, and is also a long-term goal of academia and industry.
[0004] Taking some bulk chemicals as examples: the production of acetone in 2025 is expected to reach 83.4 million tons, pKa=26.5, C(sp 3 )-H bond dissociation energy 96 kcal / mol; the production of acetonitrile in 2025 is expected to reach 198,000 tons, pKa=31.3, C(sp 3 )-H bond dissociation energy 96 kcal / mol; the production of dichloromethane in 2025 is expected to reach 1.68 million tons, pKa=12.16, C(sp 3 )-H bond dissociation energy 95.7 kcal / mol. The above raw materials are often used as key solvents in laboratories and pharmaceutical / fine chemical industries: on the one hand, these compounds have relatively chemical inertness; on the other hand, the physical properties of these compounds affect the reaction rate, reactivity and selectivity of the chemical manufacturing process, which is often referred to as "solvent effect". However, a commonly overlooked fact is that such bulk chemicals contain the most basic chemical functional groups such as ketones, cyano groups and halogens, respectively. If a new type of catalytic system can be developed to directly convert inexpensive bulk chemicals as corresponding functional groups into higher value chiral compounds, it will undoubtedly be an extremely interesting and economically practical synthesis strategy.
[0005] Photoelectrochemistry combines electrocatalysis and photocatalysis, which can generate high-energy open-shell intermediates under mild redox potential conditions. However, the C(sp3 ) -H bond activation reagents such as chlorine radicals, tungstate salts, benzophenone, etc. will usually tend to activate the electron-rich C(sp 3 ) -H bond due to the polar matching effect, rather than the protonic C(sp 3 ) -H bond in molecules such as acetone, acetonitrile and dichloromethane. In addition, the radical species generated in situ after the activation of the C(sp 3 ) -H bond is further converted into an enantiomerically enriched molecule usually relies on another chiral metal catalyst. It is of high exploration value and challenging to use a single catalyst to achieve both processes (i.e. C(sp 3 ) -H bond activation process and asymmetric bond formation process) at the same time. The development of such a catalytic system is hindered because it is difficult to achieve two different mechanisms, two different processes from one catalyst. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a V catalyst that can achieve both the protonic C(sp 3 ) -H bond activation process (HAT) and catalyze the bimolecular radical homolytic substitution process to achieve chiral carbon-oxygen bond formation. SUMMARY

[0073] No product from Example 1 was detected without light.
[0074] Comparative Example 2: No electricity, otherwise same conditions as Example 1.
[0075] Trace amounts of product were detected without electricity, due to the fact that the 5% equivalent of vanadium catalyst, upon light, can grab the hydrogen atoms from the solvent and mediate the radical substitution of NHPI, but because there is no electricity, the vanadium catalyst cannot recycle, thus very small amounts of product (<5%) were generated.

HRMS (ESI) calcd for C 12 H 24 O2N, [M+H]+: 214.18016, found: 214.17941. Figure 8 This reflects the catalytic mechanism in the above embodiments. After photoexcitation, the vanadium catalyst can seize protonated C(sp3)-H bonds in solvent molecules, generating free radical I and a tetravalent vanadium species. This free radical adds to the olefin feedstock to give free radical intermediate II. This intermediate participates in the V-catalyzed bimolecular homolytic substitution process, forming a bond with NHPI to give product III, while simultaneously generating one molecule of tetravalent vanadium. The tetravalent vanadium is then anolyzed and regenerated into pentavalent vanadium, completing the catalytic cycle. The hydrogen evolution reagent added to the reaction is reduced at the cathode to release hydrogen gas, ensuring charge conservation in the reaction.
