Alkynyl triazenes enable divergent syntheses of 2-pyrones.

ABSTRACT: The 2-pyrone motif occurs frequently in bioactive natural products and is appreciated as synthetic intermediates. However, only few methods allow for diversifying functional group modifications on this relevant heterocycle. The distinct properties of 1-alkynyl triazenes promote a smooth addition of propiolic acids across the triple bond. Addition of catalytic amounts of silver salt induces cyclization to 2-pyrones. Depending on the reaction temperature, either 6-triazenyl or 5-triazenyl 2-pyrones are selectively formed. The triazenyl unit is subsequently replaced by a variety of valuable groups in a one-pot process yielding for instance 2-fluoro pyrones. The substitution occurs with an intriguing 1,5-carbonyl transposition. Moreover, the triazenyl group serves as traceless activating group for subsequent Diels-Alder cycloadditions and as a constituting unit for rare fused aminopyrazole pyrone heterocycles.

Chemo- and regio-divergent access to fluorinated 1-alkyl and 1-acyl triazenes from alkynyl triazenes.

Project description:The 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethylene unit is prevalent in bioactive molecules and functional materials. Despite being in principle a straightforward strategy to access this motif, the direct tetrafluorination of alkynes involves very hazardous or inconvenient reagents. Therefore, safer and convenient alternatives are sought after. We developed a mild and operationally simple perfluorination method converting 1-alkynyl triazenes into 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoro alkyl triazenes, employing cheap and readily accessible reagents. Moreover, a judicious tuning of the reaction conditions enables access to α-difluoro triazenyl ketones. Complementary, electrophilic fluorination of alkynyl triazenes gives rise to the regioisomeric α-difluoro acyl triazenes. These three chemo- and regio-divergent protocols enable access to elusive fluorinated 1-alkyl and 1-acyl triazenes, thus expanding the chemical space for these unusual entities. Furthermore, several reaction intermediates and side products revealed insights on the reaction pathways that may be useful for further fluorination chemistry of alkynes.

Gold-catalyzed synthesis of oxazoles from alkynyl triazenes and dioxazoles.

Project description:A gold-catalyzed regioselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition of alkynyl triazenes with 1,2,4-dioxazoles was developed. The triazene group in the products could be replaced to obtain iodo-oxazoles, providing potential transformations to diverse oxazole structures. This protocol features readily available starting materials, mild reaction conditions and scalability. A plausible mechanism involving a nitrene transfer process was proposed.

Modular synthesis of aryl amines from 3-alkynyl-2-pyrones.

Project description:The synthesis of aryl amines from 3-alkynyl-2-pyrones and various amines is described. Mechanistically, the aryl amines are proposed to arise from the 3-alkynyl-2-pyrone substrates through their selective opening in a 1,6-fashion by secondary amines followed by decarboxylation and an unexpected rearrangement. The proposed mechanism is supported by quantum chemical transition-state calculations, which are consistent with the regiochemical outcome. The scope of this transformation spans a variety of 3-alkynyl-2-pyrones and a range of secondary amines. The influence of the secondary amine coupling partners on reaction efficiency was elucidated through data-driven modeling as well as scope exploration. These latter studies revealed that the steric bulk of the secondary amine coupling partner under the reaction conditions serves as a strong indicator of overall reaction efficiency.

Divergent syntheses of complex Veratrum alkaloids.

Project description:The Veratrum alkaloids are a class of highly intricate natural products renowned for their complex structural and stereochemical characteristics, which underlie a diverse array of pharmacological activities ranging from anti-hypertensive properties to antimicrobial effects. These properties have generated substantial interest among both synthetic chemists and biologists. While numerous advancements have been made in the synthesis of jervanine and veratramine subtypes over the past 50 years, the total synthesis of highly oxidized cevanine subtypes has remained relatively scarce. Building on the efficiency of our previously developed strategy for constructing the hexacyclic carbon skeleton of the Veratrum alkaloid family via a stereoselective intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction and radical cyclization, here we show the development of a unified synthetic approach to access highly oxidized Veratrum alkaloids. This includes the total synthesis of (-)-zygadenine, (-)-germine, (-)-protoverine and the alkamine of veramadine A, by capitalizing on a meticulously designed sequence of redox manipulations and a late-stage neighboring-group participation strategy.

Divergent total syntheses of (-)-aspidospermine and (+)-spegazzinine.

Project description:Divergent total syntheses of (+)-spegazzinine (1) and (-)-aspidospermine (2) and their extensions to the synthesis of C19-epi-aspidospermine and C3-epi-spegazzinine are detailed, confirming the relative stereochemistry and establishing the absolute configuration of (+)-spegazzinine. A powerful intramolecular [4 + 2]/[3 + 2] cycloaddition cascade of a 1,3,4-oxadiazole provided the pentacyclic skeleton and all the requisite stereochemistry of the natural products in a single reaction that forms three rings, four C-C bonds, and five stereocenters.

Divergent Total Syntheses of (-)-Pseudocopsinine and (-)-Minovincinine.

Project description:Herein, the first total syntheses of (-)-pseudocopsinine (1) and (-)-minovincine (3) from a common intermediate 8 are detailed, enlisting late-stage, hydrogen atom transfer (HAT)-mediated free radical bond formations (C20-C2 and C20-OH, respectively) that are unique to their core or structure. The approach to 1 features an Fe-mediated HAT reaction of the intermediate olefin 2, effecting a transannular C20-C2 free radical cyclization of a challenging substrate with formation of a strained [2.2.1] ring system and reaction of a poor acceptor tetrasubstituted alkene with a hindered secondary free radical to form a bond and quaternary center adjacent to another quaternary center. Central to the assemblage of their underlying Aspidosperma skeleton is a powerful [4 + 2]/[3 + 2] cycloaddition cascade of 1,3,4-oxadiazole 9, which affords the stereochemically rich and highly functionalized pentacyclic intermediate 8 as a single diastereomer in one step. The work extends the divergent total synthesis of four to now six different natural product alkaloid classes by distinguishing late stage key strategic bond formations within the underlying Aspidosperma core from the common intermediate 8. Together, the work represents use of strategic bond analysis combined with the strategy of divergent synthesis to access six different natural product classes from a single intermediate.

Divergent total syntheses of lyconadins A and C.

Project description:Divergent and concise total syntheses of two lycopodium alkaloids, lyconadins A and C have been developed. The synthesis of lyconadin A, having potent neurotrophic activity, features an efficient one-pot ketal removal and formal aza-[4+2] cyclization to form the cagelike core structure. A tandem ketal removal/Mannich reaction was developed to build the tricyclic structure of lyconadin C. Both lyconadins A and C were synthesized from a pivotal intermediate.

Divergent and gram-scale syntheses of (-)-veratramine and (-)-cyclopamine.

Project description:Veratramine and cyclopamine, two of the most representative members of the isosteroidal alkaloids, are valuable molecules in agricultural and medicinal chemistry. While plant extraction of these compounds suffers from uncertain supply, efficient chemical synthesis approaches are in high demand. Here, we present concise, divergent, and scalable syntheses of veratramine and cyclopamine with 11% and 6.2% overall yield, respectively, from inexpensive dehydro-epi-androsterone. Our synthesis readily provides gram quantities of both target natural products by utilizing a biomimetic rearrangement to form the C-nor-D-homo steroid core and a stereoselective reductive coupling/(bis-)cyclization sequence to establish the (E)/F-ring moiety.
