Understanding the Activity and Enantioselectivity of Acetyl-Protected Aminoethyl Quinoline Ligands in Palladium-Catalyzed β-C(sp3)–H Bond Arylation Reactions

Chiral acetyl-protected aminoalkyl quinoline (APAQ) ligands were recently discovered to afford highly active and enantiose-lective palladium catalysts for the arylation of methylene C(sp3)-H bonds, and herein, we investigate the origins of these heightened properties. Unprecedented amide-bridged APAQ-Pd dimers were predicted by DFT calculations and were con-firmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Comparison of structural features between APAQ-Pd complexes and an acetyl-protected aminoethyl pyridine APAPy-Pd complex strongly suggests that the high activity of the former originates from the presence of the quinoline ring which slows the formation of the off-cycle palladium dimer. Furthermore, steric topographic maps for a representative subset of monomeric, monoligated palladium complexes allowed us to draw a unique parallel between the 3-dimensional structures of these catalysts and their reported asymmetric induction in β-C(sp3)-H bond arylation reactions. Lastly, cooperative non-covalent interactions present between the APAQ ligand and the substrate were identified as a crucial factor for imparting selectivity between chemically equivalent methylenic C(sp3)-H bonds prior to con-certed metalation deprotonation activation.
