Synthesis of Carbazoles and Dihydrocarbazoles by a Divergent Cascade Reaction of Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes.

ABSTRACT: An alkylation/olefination cascade of indolecarboxaldehydes and phosphonate-functionalized donor-acceptor cyclopropanes affords functionalized dihydrocarbazoles and cyclohepta[cd]indoles in formal (3 + 3) and (4 + 3) cycloadditions. A minor modification to the reaction conditions also allows access to the fully aromatic heterocyclic scaffolds by thermal loss of an electron-rich aryl moiety.

Palladium-Catalyzed Cascade to Benzoxepins by Using Vinyl-Substituted Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes.

Project description:A palladium-catalyzed intermolecular cascade (4+3) cyclocondensation of salicylaldehydes and vinylcyclopropanes is reported. A key feature of the reaction is the use of a phosphonate group as an acceptor moiety on the cyclopropane, exploiting its propensity to undergo olefination with aldehydes. Subsequent O-allylation enabled the formation of a range of substituted benzoxepinsWith a novel chiral ligand, the products were obtained in generally good yield and with reasonable enantioselectivity.

Synthesis of β-enamino malonates through caesium carbonate-promoted reaction of nitro-substituted donor-acceptor cyclopropanes.

Project description:A caesium carbonate-promoted reaction of nitro-substituted donor-acceptor cyclopropanes (DACs) with primary aromatic amines in water provides a convenient access to β-enamino malonates under mild reaction conditions. The transformation takes place through the formation of allene intermediates from the DACs followed by the conjugate addition of various primary aromatic amines to the intermediates. The reaction proceeds more efficiently in water as compared with organic solvents and the products were isolated in good yields by filtering through a silica gel column without any prior extraction procedure.

Synthesis of Carbazoles by a Diverted Bischler-Napieralski Cascade Reaction.

Project description:An unforeseen twist in a seemingly trivial Bischler-Napieralski reaction led to the selective formation of an unexpected carbazole product. The reaction proved to be general, providing access to a range of diversely substituted carbazoles from readily available substrates. Judicious variation of substituents revealed a complex cascade mechanism comprising no less than 10 elementary steps, that could be diverted in multiple ways toward various other carbazole derivatives.

Acetoxy-Substituted Cyclopropane Dicarbonyls as Stable Donor-Acceptor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes.

Project description:A study of cyclopropanations of oxy-substituted ethenes with ethyl α-diazoaroyl acetates is described. Whereas trimethylsilyl vinyl ether and ethyl vinyl ether gave dihydrofuran products, stable cyclopropanes were isolated when vinyl acetate was used. Yields ranged from 0-87%, depending on the nature and position of the aryl ring substituent.

Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes: Activation Enabled by a Single, Vinylogous Acceptor.

Project description:A novel class of highly activated donor-acceptor cyclopropanes bearing only a single, vinylogous acceptor is presented. These strained moieties readily undergo cycloadditions with aldehydes, ketones, thioketones, nitriles, naphth-2-ols and various other substrates to yield the corresponding carbo- and heterocycles. Diastereocontrol can be achieved through the choice of catalyst (Brønsted or Lewis acid). The formation of tetrahydrofurans was shown to be highly enantiospecific when chiral cyclopropanes are employed. A series of mechanistic and kinetic experiments was conducted to elucidate a plausible catalytic cycle and to rationalize the stereochemical outcome.

(4+3) Annulation of Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes and Azadienes: Highly Stereoselective Synthesis of Azepanones.

Project description:Azepanes are important seven-membered heterocycles, which are present in numerous natural and synthetic compounds. However, the development of convergent synthetic methods to access them remains challenging. Herein, we report the Lewis acid catalyzed (4+3) annulative addition of aryl and amino donor-acceptor cyclopropanes with 2-aza-1,3-dienes. Densely substituted azepane derivatives were obtained in good to excellent yields and with high diastereoselectivity. The reaction occurred under mild conditions with ytterbium triflate as the catalyst. The use of copper triflate with a trisoxazoline (Tox) ligand led to an enantioselective transformation. The obtained cycloadducts were convenient substrates for a series of further modifications, showing the synthetic utility of these compounds.

Synthesis of 1,5-Substituted Pyrrolidin-2-ones from Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes and Anilines/Benzylamines.

Project description:We developed a straightforward synthetic route to pharmacologically important 1,5-substituted pyrrolidin-2-ones from donor-acceptor cyclopropanes bearing an ester group as one of the acceptor substituents. This method includes a Lewis acid-catalyzed opening of the donor-acceptor cyclopropane with primary amines (anilines, benzylamines, etc.) to γ-amino esters, followed by in situ lactamization and dealkoxycarbonylation. The reaction has a broad scope of applicability; a variety of substituted anilines, benzylamines, and other primary amines as well as a wide range of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes bearing (hetero)aromatic or alkenyl donor groups and various acceptor substituents can be involved in this transformation. In this process, donor-acceptor cyclopropanes react as 1,4-C,C-dielectrophiles, and amines react as 1,1-dinucleophiles. The resulting di- and trisubstituted pyrrolidin-2-ones can be also used in subsequent chemistry to obtain various nitrogen-containing polycyclic compounds of interest to medicinal chemistry and pharmacology, such as benz[g]indolizidine derivatives.

Regioselective C3-H Alkylation of Imidazopyridines with Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes.

Project description:Alkylated imidazopyridines are crucial structures for medicinal chemistry. Here, an efficient method for the C3-H alkylation of imidazopyridines was devised. Under Lewis acid-catalyzed conditions, reactions of imidazopyridines with different donor-acceptor cyclopropanes were carried out. Finally, 1,3-bisfunctionalizaton of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes was performed. In addition, synthesized C3-alkylated imidazopyridines are amenable for diverse synthetic applications.

Project description:Isocyanates, isothiocyanates, and carbodiimides are effective substrates in (3 + 2) cycloadditions with donor-acceptor cyclopropanes for the synthesis of five-membered heterocycles. These reactions exhibit a broad substrate scope, high yields, and well-defined chemoselectivity. Discussed herein are the implications of Lewis acid choice on the stereochemical outcome and the reaction mechanism.
