Description

Abstract
Catalytic hydrogenations are the most frequently utilized chemical reactions in the synthesis of pharmaceutical ingredients, constituting 14% of GMP reactions (oxidations = 3% of GMP reactions). Metal-catalyzed cross-coupling and carbonyl addition are the most frequently utilized methods for c-c bond formation among GMP reactions. We seek to develop a family of catalytic methods for c=x/c=c (x = o, NR) and c-x/c-y (x = y = halide) reductive c-c couplings mediated by H2, 2-proh, NAO2CH that are as clean, scalable and cost-effective as catalytic hydrogenation. This includes catalytic hydrogen auto-transfer reactions that affect direct conversion of lower alcohols/amines to higher alcohols/amines via CH-XH/c=c (x = o, NR) c-c coupling. These methods inform parallel studies on the total synthesis of polyketide natural products with anti-cancer or anti-bacterial properties. Under the NIH-mira program, our work on catalysis (R01 GM069445) and total synthesis (RO1 GM093905) will be integrated to maximize their synergy.
