On the Structure of Intermediates in Enyne Gold(I)-Catalyzed Cyclizations: Formation of trans-Fused Bicyclo[5.1.0]octanes as a Case Study.

ABSTRACT: The nature of cyclopropyl gold(I) carbene-type intermediates has been reexamined as part of a mechanistic study on the formation of cis- or trans-fused bicyclo[5.1.0]octanes in a gold(I)-catalyzed cascade reaction. Benchmark of DFT methods together with QTAIM theory and NBO analysis confirms the formation of distinct intermediates with carbenic or carbocationic structures in the cycloisomerizations of enynes.

Gold(I)-catalyzed formation of bicyclo[4.2.0]oct-1-enes.

Project description:Gold(I) catalysts effectively promote the Cope rearrangement of acyclic 1,5-dienes bearing a terminal cyclopropylidene. When this methodology is applied to cyclic substrates an unexpected transformation occurs, resulting in the formation of a tricyclic compound incorporating a bicyclo[4.2.0]oct-1-ene core, a portion of which is found in a number of natural products. Density functional theory calculations (M06 and M06-2X) reveal insight into the mechanism and thermodynamics of this unique transformation.

Gold-Catalyzed Reactions via Cyclopropyl Gold Carbene-like Intermediates.

Project description:Cycloisomerizations of 1,n-enynes catalyzed by gold(I) proceed via electrophilic species with a highly distorted cyclopropyl gold(I) carbene-like structure, which can react with different nucleophiles to form a wide variety of products by attack at the cyclopropane or the carbene carbons. Particularly important are reactions in which the gold(I) carbene reacts with alkenes to form cyclopropanes either intra- or intermolecularly. In the absence of nucleophiles, 1,n-enynes lead to a variety of cycloisomerized products including those resulting from skeletal rearrangements. Reactions proceeding through cyclopropyl gold(I) carbene-like intermediates are ideally suited for the bioinspired synthesis of terpenoid natural products by the selective activation of the alkyne in highly functionalized enynes or polyenynes.

Constructing chiral bicyclo[3.2.1]octanes via palladium-catalyzed asymmetric tandem Heck/carbonylation desymmetrization of cyclopentenes.

Project description:Transition-metal-catalyzed tandem Heck/carbonylation reaction has emerged as a powerful tool for the synthesis of structurally diverse carbonyl molecules, as well as natural products and pharmaceuticals. However, the asymmetric version was rarely reported, and remains a challenging topic. Herein, we describe a palladium-catalyzed asymmetric tandem Heck/carbonylation desymmetrization of cyclopentenes. Alcohols, phenols and amines are employed as versatile coupling reagents for the construction of multifunctional chiral bicyclo[3.2.1]octanes with one all-carbon quaternary and two tertiary carbon stereogenic centers in high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. This study represents an important progress in both the asymmetric tandem Heck/carbonylation reactions and enantioselective difunctionalization of internal alkenes.

Gold-Catalyzed Intramolecular Cyclizations of Cyclopropenes with Propargylic Esters.

Project description:Homogeneous gold catalysts are interesting as they can act as potent carbophilic Lewis acids to activate the π bonds of alkynes, allenes, and alkenes. Many impressive applications for the formation of C-C or C-heteroatom bonds have been found due to the excellent functional group compatibility of these catalysts and the air and moisture tolerance of their reactions. Here, we have developed gold-catalyzed novel intramolecular cycloisomerizations of nitrogen or oxygen-tethered cyclopropenes with propargylic esters. The reaction proceeded through different pathways according to different substituent styles, affording 5-azaspiro[2.5]oct-7-enes and bicyclo[4.1.0]heptanes.

Gold(I)-Catalyzed 1,6-Enyne Single-Cleavage Rearrangements: The Complete Picture.

Project description:We identify the factors that rule the selectivity in single-cleavage skeletal rearrangements promoted by gold(I) catalysts. We find that stereoconvergence is enabled by a rotational equilibrium when electron-rich substituents are used. The anomalous Z-selective skeletal rearrangement is found to be due to electronic factors, whereas endo-selectivity depends on both steric and electronic factors.

Lewis acid catalyzed [4+2] annulation of bicyclobutanes with dienol ethers for the synthesis of bicyclo[4.1.1]octanes.

Project description:Bicyclic carbocycles containing a high fraction of Csp3 have become highly attractive synthetic targets because of the multiple applications they have found in medicinal chemistry. The formal cycloaddition of bicyclobutanes (BCBs) with two- or three-atom partners has recently been extensively explored for the construction of bicyclohexanes and bicycloheptanes, but applications to the synthesis of medium-sized bridged carbocycles remained more limited. We report herein the formal [4+2] cycloaddition of BCB ketones with silyl dienol ethers. The reaction occurred in the presence of 5 mol% aluminium triflate as a Lewis acid catalyst. Upon acidic hydrolysis of the enol ether intermediates, rigid bicyclo[4.1.1]octane (BCO) diketones could be accessed in up to quantitative yields. This procedure tolerated a range of both aromatic and aliphatic substituents on both the BCB substrates and the dienes. The obtained BCO products could be functionalized through reduction and cross-coupling reactions.

Gold-catalyzed cyclizations of cis-enediynes: insights into the nature of gold-aryne interactions.

Project description:Golden aryne? Gold aryne complexes are inferred as transition states in dual gold-catalyzed cyclizations of cis-enediynes (see scheme; DCE = 1,2-dichloroethane). They are better described as ortho-aurophenyl cations, which react with weak nucleophiles and undergo facile intramolecular insertions into C(sp(3))-H bonds. Indanes, fused heteroarenes, and phenol derivatives are readily prepared using this method.

Leveraging the micellar effect: gold-catalyzed dehydrative cyclizations in water at room temperature.

Project description:The first examples of gold-catalyzed cyclizations of diols and triols to the corresponding hetero- or spirocycles in an aqueous medium are presented. These reactions take place within nanomicelles, where the hydrophobic effect is operating, thereby driving the dehydrations, notwithstanding the surrounding water. By the addition of simple salts such as sodium chloride, reaction times and catalyst loadings can be significantly decreased.

"Concerted" transition state, stepwise mechanism. Dynamics effects in C2-C6 enyne allene cyclizations.

Project description:The C2-C6 (Schmittel)/ene cyclization of enyne-allenes is studied by a combination of kinetic isotope effects, theoretical calculations, and dynamics trajectories. For the cyclization of allenol acetate 9, the isotope effect (k(CH3)/k(CD3) is approximately 1.43. The isotope effect is interpreted in terms of a highly asynchronous transition state near the concerted/stepwise boundary. This is supported by density functional theory calculations that locate a highly asynchronous transition structure for the concerted ene reaction. However, calculations of both the experimental system and a model reaction were unable to locate a transition structure for formation of the diradical intermediate of a stepwise mechanism. The stepwise mechanism and the asynchronous concerted mechanism start out geometrically similar, and the two pathways appear to have merged as far as the initial transition structure. For the model reaction, quasiclassical direct dynamics trajectories emanating from the initial transition structure afforded the diradical intermediate in 29 out of 101 trajectories. A large portion of the remaining trajectories completes hydrogen transfer before carbon-carbon bond formation, despite the advanced carbon-carbon bond formation in the asynchronous transition structure. Overall, the single minimum-energy path from starting material to product is inadequate to describe the reaction, and a consideration of dynamic effects is necessary to understand the mechanism. The implications of these observations toward questions of concert in other reactions are discussed.
