研究领域

Cobalt- and Iron-Catalyzed Asymmetric Alkene Hydrogenation Asymmetric alkene hydrogenation is responsible for more than 50% of the chiral material in the pharmaceutical industry. State-of-the-art catalysts rely on precious metals such as rhodium, ruthenium and iridium. Our team has pioneered the application of more earth-abundant metals such as iron and cobalt for these transformations. With cobalt, catalysts that are more active and enantioselective compared to precious metals have been discovered. More recent efforts have focused on catalysts differentiated by a single-electron to enable distinct reactivity – most notable in the asymmetric synthesis of sitagliptin. Continuing efforts are focused on the development of new metal precursors to facilitate catalyst discovery by high throughput experimentation and expanding the scope of asymmetric transformations that are currently beyond the reach of precious metals. Iron Catalysis for a Sustainable Hydrocarbon Future Hydrocarbons are an indispensable component of modern life with applications ranging from fuels to plastics. Iron catalysts, supported by redox-active ligands, enable new transformations from the fundamental building blocks of the chemical industry. Specifically, we have developed selective iron-catalyzed [2+2] and [4+4] cycloaddition reactions of feedstock alkenes and dienes, providing pathways to upgrade bioderived hydrocarbons. In the case of cyclobutane products, the reactions are reversible opening a gateway to chemically recyclable polyolefins. Efforts are devoted to expanding the scope of iron catalysts capable of such cycloaddition transformations and to synthesize new hydrocarbon architectures towards accessing sustainable aviation fuels and chemically recyclable plastics. Iron and Cobalt Catalysts for Cross Coupling Transition-metal catalyzed cross-coupling is a transformative method for C–C bond formation that accounts for 12% of reactions conducted in the pharmaceutical industry. Next-generation cross-coupling catalysts are needed to support the greater three-dimensionality of pharmaceuticals and to reliance on precious metals in the discovery and manufacture of medicines. The Chirik group is developing catalysts based on cobalt and iron for C(sp2)-C(sp3) Suzuki coupling that rely on abundant neutral boron reagents and alkyl halide electrophiles. The mechanisms of these reactions are also investigated and involve high spin metal complexes in weak ligand fields. This intersection of state-of-the-art physical inorganic chemistry, catalysis and organic methodology drives future catalyst development. Iron and Cobalt Catalysts for Electronically-Driven, Site-Selective C–H Functionalization Metal-catalyzed C–H functionalization has emerged as an intense area of study due to its transformative impact on chemical synthesis. Catalysts for these transformations typically rely on precious metals such as palladium and iridium. The Chirik group has developed a series of C–H functionalization reactions using Earth-abundant 3d transition metal catalysts, including ortho-and meta-C–H borylation of fluoroarenes using pincer-ligated cobalt(I) complexes, and directed-ortho C–H alkylation by cationic bis(phosphine)cobalt(III) metallacycles. Ongoing efforts are towards iron-catalyzed C–H borylation and expanding the scope of C–C bond forming reactions.
