ABSTRACT
Directed functionalization of C–H bonds has emerged as a practical method for new
carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond formation. Despite the achieved successes, many
challenges still remain. First, use of the methodology for functionalization of C–H bonds in
phosphorus and sulfur-containing compounds is still rare. Second, functionalization of C–H
bonds directed by simple functional groups is limited to second and third-row metal catalysis.
This dissertation describes methods for cobalt and palladium-catalyzed, aminoquinoline-directed
functionalization of sp2 and sp3 C–H bonds in phosphinic and sulfonic amides. The use of cobalt
catalyst for simple carboxylate-directed sp2 C–H functionalization is also reported.
Directed functionalization of C–H bonds in aminoquinoline phosphinic acid amides
under cobalt catalysis was developed. A simple cobalt salt was used to catalyze the coupling of
amide C–H bonds with alkynes, ethylene, and morpholine. To our knowledge, this marks the first
example of ortho-functionalization C–H bonds in phosphinic acid derivatives using first row
transition metals. Subsequently, -arylation of sp3 C–H bonds in alkylphosphinic acid
amiquinoline amides with aryl iodides was also described.
Furthermore, cobalt-catalyzed, directed carbonylation of C–H bonds in aminoquinoline
sulfonamides was developed. Directing group removal affords saccharin derivatives.
Finally, carboxylate-directed coupling of sp2 C–H bonds with alkynes, styrenes, and 1,3dienes under cobalt catalysis was investigated. This reaction is a rare example using simple
directing groups for first row metal-catalyzed functionalization of C–H bonds.
