General description

Sulfoxonium ylides are highly stable carbene precursors, serving as a safer alternative to diazo compounds as they that do not generate gases as byproducts. Sulfoxonium ylides have been shown to be effective in a wide array of transition metal catalyzed C-H functionalization and coupling reactions.

A rhodium-catalyzed annulation between ethyl benzimidates and α- aroyl sulfur ylides was developed, affording a series of pyrano[4,3,2-ij]isoquinoline derivatives in moderate to good yields with good functional group compatibility. The procedure featured dual ortho-C-H functionalization and dual cyclization in one

A ruthenium-catalysed cross-olefination of diazo compounds and sulfoxonium ylides is presented. Our reaction design exploits the intrinsic difference in reactivity of diazo compounds and sulfoxonium ylides as both carbene precursors and nucleophiles, which results in a highly selective reaction.

Rh(III)-catalyzed cascade C-H activation of benzoylacetonitriles and annulation with sulfoxonium ylides was realized, leading to selective synthesis of naphthols, 2,3-dihydronaphtho[1,8- bc]pyrans, and naphtho[1,8- bc]pyrans. This step-economic reaction proceeded efficiently under mild and redox-neutral conditions via multiple C-H activations.

Ellman Group – Professor Product Portal

The Ellman group has participated in the development of a variety of C-H functionalization methods. An electron rich phosphine ligand has proven to be very useful for a variety of Rh(I)-catalyzed C-C bond forming reactions applicable to heterocycle synthesis as exemplified in the recent Science paper “Proton Donor Acidity Controls Selectivity in Nonaromatic Nitrogen Heterocycle Synthesis.” Another useful ligand developed for the highly functional group compatible direct arylation of nitrogen heterocycles is described in a 2008 J. Am. Chem. Soc. paper “Rh(I)-Catalyzed Arylation of Heterocycles via C-H Bond Activation: Expanded Scope through Mechanistic Insight.” The Ellman group also developed the chiral amine reagent tert-Butanesulfinamide, which is extensively used in academics and industry for the asymmetric synthesis of amines. A comprehensive survey of tert-Butanesulfinamide methods and applications up through 2009 is provided in the 2010 Chemical Reviews article, “Synthesis and Applications of tert-Butanesulfinamide.”

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
