Application

Developed in the Engle lab, this 2-pyridyl-8-aminoquinoline (PAQ) auxiliary is a pincer-like, removable tridentate directing group that stabilizes 6-membered palladacycles for olefin functionalization. Together with similar ligand PPA (901251), researchers demonstrated regioselective remote hydrocarbofunctionalization of alkene-containing substrate classes (e.g. 4-pentenoic acids, allylic alcohols, homoallyl amines, bis-homoallylamines) using Pd(II) catalysis.

Removable tridentate directing groups inspired by pincer ligands have been designed to stabilize otherwise kinetically and thermodynamically disfavored 6-membered alkyl palladacycle intermediates. This family of directing groups enables regioselective remote hydrocarbofunctionalization of several synthetically useful alkene-containing substrate classes, including 4-pentenoic

The Engle lab strives to invent novel catalytic alkene and alkyne functionalization methods to expedite organic synthesis. These transformations offer a powerful platform for conversion of simple, abundant, and planar starting materials into densely functionalized, stereochemically complex products in a single step. To this end, the Engle lab has developed various substrate directivity strategies in which native functional groups can be temporarily masked with auxiliaries that are capable of reversibly binding the metal catalyst, thereby enhancing kinetic reactivity, suppressing unwanted side reactions, and facilitating high selectivity. The Engle lab works with us to make synthetically enabling directing groups, catalysts, and ligands readily available to the synthetic community for reaction discovery and small-molecule synthesis.

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