Carbene-catalyzed atroposelective synthesis of axially chiral styrenes.

Project description:Axially chiral styrenes bearing a chiral axis between a sterically non-congested acyclic alkene and an aryl ring are difficult to prepare due to low rotational barrier of the axis. Disclosed here is an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalytic asymmetric solution to this problem. Our reaction involves ynals, sulfinic acids, and phenols as the substrates with an NHC as the catalyst. Key steps involve selective 1,4-addition of sulfinic anion to acetylenic acylazolium intermediate and sequential E-selective protonation to set up the chiral axis. Our reaction affords axially chiral styrenes bearing a chiral axis as the product with up to > 99:1 e.r., > 20:1 E/Z selectivity, and excellent yields. The sulfone and carboxylic ester moieties in our styrene products are common moieties in bioactive molecules and asymmetric catalysis.

Catalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of Axially Chiral Diaryl Ethers Via Asymmetric Povarov Reaction Enabled Desymmetrization.

Project description:Axially chiral diaryl ethers represent a distinct class of atropisomers, characterized by a unique dual C─O axes system, which have been found in a variety of natural products, pharmaceuticals, and ligands. However, the catalytic enantioselective synthesis of these atropoisomers poses significant challenges, due to the difficulty in controlling both chiral C─O axes, and their more flexible conformations. Herein, an efficient protocol for catalytic enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral diaryl ethers is presented using organocatalyzed asymmetric Povarov reaction-enabled desymmetrization, followed by aromatizations. This method yields a wide range of novel quinoline-based diaryl ether atropoisomers in good yields and high enantioselectivities. Notably, various aromatization protocols are developed, resulting in a diverse set of polysubstituted quinoline-containing diaryl ether atropisomers. Thermal racemization studies suggested excellent configurational stabilities for these novel diaryl ether atropisomers (with racemization barriers up to 38.1 kcal mol-1). Moreover, this research demonstrates for the first time that diaryl ether atropisomers lacking the bulky t-Bu group can still maintain a stable configuration, challenging the prior knowledge in the field. The fruitful derivatizations of the functional group-rich chiral products further underscore the value of this method.

Carbene reactivity from alkyl and aryl aldehydes.

Project description:Carbenes are highly enabling reactive intermediates that facilitate a diverse range of otherwise inaccessible chemistry, including small-ring formation and insertion into strong σ bonds. To access such valuable reactivity, reagents with high entropic or enthalpic driving forces are often used, including explosive (diazo) or unstable (gem-dihalo) compounds. Here, we report that common aldehydes are readily converted (via stable α-acyloxy halide intermediates) to electronically diverse (donor or neutral) carbenes to facilitate >10 reaction classes. This strategy enables safe reactivity of nonstabilized carbenes from alkyl, aryl, and formyl aldehydes via zinc carbenoids. Earth-abundant metal salts [iron(II) chloride (FeCl2), cobalt(II) chloride (CoCl2), copper(I) chloride (CuCl)] are effective catalysts for these chemoselective carbene additions to σ and π bonds.

Cobalt-catalyzed atroposelective C-H activation/annulation to access N-N axially chiral frameworks.

Project description:The N-N atropisomer, as an important and intriguing chiral system, was widely present in natural products, pharmaceutical lead compounds, and advanced material skeletons. The anisotropic structural characteristics caused by its special axial rotation have always been one of the challenges that chemists strive to overcome. Herein, we report an efficient method for the enantioselective synthesis of N-N axially chiral frameworks via a cobalt-catalyzed atroposelective C-H activation/annulation process. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions by using Co(OAc)2·4H2O as the catalyst with a chiral salicyl-oxazoline (Salox) ligand and O2 as an oxidant, affording a variety of N-N axially chiral products with high yields and enantioselectivities. This protocol provides an efficient approach for the facile construction of N-N atropisomers and further expands the range of of N-N axially chiral derivatives. Additionally, under the conditions of electrocatalysis, the desired N-N axially chiral products were also successfully achieved with good to excellent efficiencies and enantioselectivities.

Cobalt-catalyzed enantioselective C-H/N-H annulation of aryl sulfonamides with allenes or alkynes: facile access to C-N axially chiral sultams.

Project description:Herein we report a cobalt-catalyzed enantioselective C-H/N-H annulation of aryl sulfonamides with allenes and alkynes, using either chemical or electrochemical oxidation. By using O2 as the oxidant, the annulation with allenes proceeds efficiently with a low catalyst/ligand loading of 5 mol% and tolerates a wide range of allenes, including 2,3-butadienoate, allenylphosphonate, and phenylallene, resulting in C-N axially chiral sultams with high enantio-, regio-, and position selectivities. The annulation with alkynes also exhibits excellent enantiocontrol (up to >99% ee) with a variety of functional aryl sulfonamides, and internal and terminal alkynes. Furthermore, electrochemical oxidative C-H/N-H annulation with alkynes is achieved in a simple undivided cell, demonstrating the versatility and robustness of the cobalt/Salox system. The gram-scale synthesis and asymmetric catalysis further highlight the practical utility of this method.

Atroposelective Synthesis of Aldehydes via Alcohol Dehydrogenase-Catalyzed Stereodivergent Desymmetrization.

Project description:Axially chiral aldehydes have emerged recently as a unique class of motifs for drug design. However, few biocatalytic strategies have been reported to construct structurally diverse atropisomeric aldehydes. Herein, we describe the characterization of alcohol dehydrogenases to catalyze atroposelective desymmetrization of the biaryl dialdehydes. Investigations into the interactions between the substrate and key residues of the enzymes revealed the distinct origin of atroposelectivity. A panel of 13 atropisomeric monoaldehydes was synthesized with moderate to high enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee) and yields (up to 99%). Further derivatization allows enhancement of the diversity and application potential of the atropisomeric compounds. This study effectively expands the scope of enzymatic synthesis of atropisomeric aldehydes and provides insights into the binding modes and recognition mechanisms of such molecules.

Asymmetric rhodium-catalyzed click cycloaddition to access C-N axially chiral <i>N</i>-triazolyl indoles.

Project description:The copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction is regarded as a prime example of "click chemistry", but the asymmetric click cycloaddition of internal alkynes still remains challenging. A new asymmetric Rh-catalyzed click cycloaddition of N-alkynylindoles with azides was developed, providing atroposelective access to C-N axially chiral triazolyl indoles, a new type of heterobiaryl, with excellent yields and enantioselectivity. This asymmetric approach is efficient, mild, robust and atom-economic, and features very broad substrate scope with easily available Tol-BINAP ligands.

Organocatalytic desymmetrization provides access to planar chiral [2.2]paracyclophanes.

Project description:Planar chiral [2.2]paracyclophanes consist of two functionalized benzene rings connected by two ethylene bridges. These organic compounds have a wide range of applications in asymmetric synthesis, as both ligands and catalysts, and in materials science, as polymers, energy materials and dyes. However, these molecules can only be accessed by enantiomer separation via (a) time-consuming chiral separations and (b) kinetic resolution approaches, often with a limited substrate scope, yielding both enantiomers. Here, we report a simple, efficient, metal-free protocol for organocatalytic desymmetrization of prochiral diformyl[2.2]paracyclophanes. Our detailed experimental mechanistic study highlights differences in the origin of enantiocontrol of pseudo-para and pseudo-gem diformyl derivatives in NHC catalyzed desymmetrizations based on whether a key Breslow intermediate is irreversibly or reversibly formed in this process. This gram-scale reaction enables a wide range of follow-up derivatizations of carbonyl groups, producing various enantiomerically pure planar chiral [2.2]paracyclophane derivatives, thereby underscoring the potential of this method.

Organocatalytic atroposelective heterocycloaddition to access axially chiral 2-arylquinolines.

Project description:Axially chiral heterobiaryls play a vital role in asymmetric synthesis and drug discovery. However, there are few reports on the synthesis of atropisomeric heterobiaryls compared with axially chiral biaryls. Thus, the rapid enantioselective construction of optically active heterobiaryls and their analogues remains an attractive challenge. Here, we report a concise chiral amine-catalyzed atroposelective heterocycloaddition reaction of alkynes with ortho-aminoarylaldehydes, and obtain a new class of axially chiral 2-arylquinoline skeletons with high yields and excellent enantioselectivities. In addition, the axially chiral 2-arylquinoline framework with different substituents is expected to be widely used in enantioselective synthesis.
