SNAr Regioselectivity Predictions: Machine Learning Triggering DFT Reaction Modeling through Statistical Threshold

Yanfei Guan et al.

Summary: Fast and accurate prediction of regioselectivity is important in reducing time and resources spent on unproductive transformations in the pharmaceutical industry. We introduce a prototype that combines machine learning and transition state theory modeling, by triggering resource-intensive calculations only on less confident ML predictions. The proposed workflow achieves high accuracy on both internal and public datasets, in a fraction of the time compared to conventional methods.

Li vs Na: Divergent Reaction Patterns between Organolithium and Organosodium Complexes and Ligand-Catalyzed Ketone/Aldehyde Methylenation

Nathan Davison et al.

Summary: Compared with organo-lithium chemistry, organosodium chemistry is underdeveloped, and reported organosodium complexes have similar reactivity patterns to their lithium counterparts. In this study, a rare organosodium monomeric complex [Na(CH2SiMe3)(Me(6)Tren)] (1-Na) was reported, which showed distinct reactivity patterns compared to its lithium counterpart [Li(CH2SiMe3)(Me(6)Tren)] (1-Li). Based on this knowledge, a ligand-catalysis strategy was developed for ketone/aldehyde methylenations using [NaCH2SiMe3](infinity) as the CH2 feedstock, replacing hazardous/expensive C-O methylenation methods.

Highly Reactive Hydrocarbon Soluble Alkylsodium Reagents for Benzylic Aroylation of Toluenes using Weinreb Amides

David E. Anderson et al.

Summary: Deaggregation of alkyl sodium NaCH2SiMe3 with polydentate nitrogen ligands allows the preparation and characterization of new, hydrocarbon soluble chelated alkylsodium reagents. These systems, equipped with significantly enhanced metalating power, can promote controlled sodiation of weakly acidic benzylic C-H bonds from a series of toluene derivatives under mild stoichiometric conditions. The successful isolation and determination of the structures of key organometallic intermediates provide useful mechanistic insights into these new sodium-mediated transformations.

The quest for organo-alkali metal monomers: unscrambling the structure-reactivity relationship

Nathan Davison et al.

Summary: Organo-alkali metal reagents are important tools in synthetic chemistry, and their aggregation behavior and structure-reactivity relationship have been extensively studied. This Perspective focuses on the strategies employed to isolate low aggregates and monomeric complexes of common alkali metal alkyls. The relationship between aggregation level, structure, and reactivity is also discussed.

Aggregation and Solvation of Sodium Hexamethyldisilazide: Across the Solvent Spectrum

Ryan A. Woltornist et al.

Summary: The study reports solution structures of sodium hexamethyldisilazide solvated by over 30 standard solvents, revealing ligand-modulated aggregation to give a mixture of dimers, monomers, triple ions, and ion pairs. Experimental results show that the relative abilities of solvents to compete in binary mixtures often match conventional wisdom, with some exceptions and evidence of both competitive and cooperative solvation phenomena. Crystal structures of a NaHMDS cryptate ion pair and a 15-crown-5-solvated monomer are included in the comparison with other similar compounds.
