Stereodivergent Access to Trisubstituted Alkenylboronate Esters through Alkene Isomerization.

ABSTRACT: We report an efficient method for the preparation of synthetically valuable trisubstituted alkenylboronate esters through alkene isomerization of their readily available 1,1-disubstituted regioisomeric counterparts. Either stereoisomer of the target alkenylboronate motif can be obtained at will from the same starting material by employing different isomerization catalysts.

Photocatalytic Z/E isomerization unlocking the stereodivergent construction of axially chiral alkene frameworks.

Project description:The past century has witnessed a large number of reports on the Z/E isomerization of alkenes. However, the vast majority of them are still limited to the isomerization of di- and tri-substituted alkenes. The stereospecific Z/E isomerization of tetrasubstituted alkenes remains to be an underdeveloped area, thus lacking in a stereodivergent synthesis of axially chiral alkenes. Herein we report the atroposelective synthesis of tetrasubstituted alkene analogues by asymmetric allylic substitution-isomerization, followed by their Z/E isomerization via triplet energy transfer photocatalysis. In this regard, the stereodivergent synthesis of axially chiral N-vinylquinolinones is achieved efficiently. Mechanistic studies indicate that the benzylic radical generation and distribution are two key factors for preserving the enantioselectivities of axially chiral compounds.

Strain-Inducing Positional Alkene Isomerization.

Project description:Small, strained ring systems are important pharmacophores in medicinal chemistry and versatile intermediates in organic synthesis. However, the kinetic and thermodynamic instability of many strained organic molecules renders them challenging to prepare. Here, we report a strain-inducing positional alkene isomerization reaction that provides mild and selective access to cyclobutene building blocks from readily obtained cyclobutylidene precursors. This endergonic isomerization relies on the sequential and synergistic action of a decatungstate polyanion photocatalyst and cobaloxime co-catalyst to store potential energy in the form of ring strain. The versatility of the cyclobutene products is demonstrated through diverse subsequent strain-releasing transformations. Mechanistic studies reveal a steric basis for strain-selective product formation.

Tungsten-catalyzed stereodivergent isomerization of terminal olefins.

Project description:Catalytic alkene isomerization is a powerful synthetic strategy for preparing valuable internal alkenes from simple feedstocks. The utility of olefin isomerization hinges on the ability to control both positional and stereoisomerism to access a single product among numerous potential isomers. Within base-metal catalysis, relatively little is known about how to modulate reactivity and selectivity with group 6 metal-catalyzed isomerization. Here, we describe a tungsten-catalyzed, positionally selective alkene isomerization reaction in which tuning the ligand environment grants access to either the E- or Z-stereoisomer. The reactions employ simple, commercially available precatalysts and ligands. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the ligand environment around 7-coordinate tungsten is crucial for stereoselectivity, and that substrate directivity prevents over-isomerization to the conjugated alkene. These features allow for exclusive formation of β,γ-unsaturated carbonyl compounds that are otherwise difficult to prepare.

Stereodivergent Olefination of Enantioenriched Boronic Esters.

Project description:A stereodivergent coupling reaction between vinyl halides and boronic esters is described. This coupling process proceeds without a transition-metal catalyst, instead proceeding by electrophilic selenation or iodination of a vinyl boronate complex followed by stereospecific syn or anti elimination. Chiral, nonracemic boronic esters could be coupled with complete enantiospecificity. The process enables the highly stereoselective synthesis of either the E or Z alkene from a single isomer of a vinyl coupling partner.

Palladium-catalysed alkene chain-running isomerization.

Project description:We report a method for palladium-catalysed chain-running isomerization of terminal and internal alkenes. Using an air-stable 2,9-dimethylphenanthroline-palladium catalyst in combination with NaBAr4 promoter, olefins are converted to the most stable double bond isomer at -30 to 20 °C. Silyl enol ethers are readily formed from silylated allylic alcohols. Fluorinated substituents are compatible with the reaction conditions, allowing the synthesis of fluoroenolates. Catalyst loading as low as 0.05% can be employed on a gram scale.

Alkene Isomerization Revitalizes the Coates-Claisen Rearrangement.

Project description:The [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of allylic vinyl acetals, first investigated by Coates nearly four decades ago, is set apart from other variants of the Claisen rearrangement owing to the versatile monoprotected 1,5-dicarbonyl motif featured in the products. Unfortunately, the synthetically elusive nature of the substrates has thus far precluded the widespread application of this attractive transformation. Herein, we show that the key allylic vinyl acetals can be efficiently generated through alkene isomerization of their readily available regioisomeric counterparts (derived from allylic alcohols and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes), thus enabling the first systematic study of the substrate scope of this rearrangement, as well as the discovery of exceptionally mild conditions for its mediation by Lewis and Brønsted acids.

Olefin Functionalization/Isomerization Enables Stereoselective Alkene Synthesis.

Project description:Despite tremendous efforts aimed at devising methods for stereoselective alkene synthesis, critical challenges are yet to be addressed. Direct access to a diverse range of 1aryl(boryl)-1-methyl-functionalized tri- and tetrasubstituted trans alkenes, entities that are prevalent in many important molecules of interest, through a catalytic manifold from readily available α-olefin substrates remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that catalytic amounts of a nonprecious N-heterocyclic carbene-Ni(I) complex in conjunction with a sterically bulky base promote site- and trans-selective union of monosubstituted olefins with a wide array of electrophilic reagents to deliver tri- and tetrasubstituted alkenes in up to 92% yield and >98% regio- and stereoselectivity. The protocol is amenable to the preparation of carbon- and heteroatom-substituted C=C bonds, providing distinct advantages over existing transformations. Utility is highlighted through concise stereoselective synthesis of biologically active compounds.

Stereoselective tandem iridium-catalyzed alkene isomerization-cope rearrangement of ω-diene epoxides: efficient access to acyclic 1,6-dicarbonyl compounds.

Project description:The Cope rearrangement of 2,3-divinyloxiranes, a rare example of epoxide C-C bond cleavage, results in 4,5-dihydrooxepines which are amenable to hydrolysis, furnishing 1,6-dicarbonyl compounds containing two contiguous stereocenters at the 3- and 4-positions. We employ an Ir-based alkene isomerization catalyst to form the reactive 2,3-divinyloxirane in situ with complete regio- and stereocontrol, which translates into excellent control over the stereochemistry of the resulting oxepines and ultimately to an attractive strategy towards 1,6-dicarbonyl compounds.

Enhanced stereodivergent evolution of carboxylesterase for efficient kinetic resolution of near-symmetric esters through machine learning.

Project description:Carboxylesterases serve as potent biocatalysts in the enantioselective synthesis of chiral carboxylic acids and esters. However, naturally occurring carboxylesterases exhibit limited enantioselectivity, particularly toward ethyl 3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate (CHCE, S1), due to its nearly symmetric structure. While machine learning effectively expedites directed evolution, the lack of models for predicting the enantioselectivity for carboxylesterases has hindered progress, primarily due to challenges in obtaining high-quality training datasets. In this study, we devise a high-throughput method by coupling alcohol dehydrogenase to determine the apparent enantioselectivity of the carboxylesterase AcEst1 from Acinetobacter sp. JNU9335, generating a high-quality dataset. Leveraging seven features derived from biochemical considerations, we quantitively describe the steric, hydrophobic, hydrophilic, electrostatic, hydrogen bonding, and π-π interaction effects of residues within AcEst1. A robust gradient boosting regression tree model is trained to facilitate stereodivergent evolution, resulting in the enhanced enantioselectivity of AcEst1 toward S1. Through this approach, we successfully obtain two stereocomplementary variants, DR3 and DS6, demonstrating significantly increased and reversed enantioselectivity. Notably, DR3 and DS6 exhibit utility in the enantioselective hydrolysis of various symmetric esters. Comprehensive kinetic parameter analysis, molecular dynamics simulations, and QM/MM calculations offer insights into the kinetic and thermodynamic features underlying the manipulated enantioselectivity of DR3 and DS6.

Chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed stereodivergent synthesis of trisubstituted allenes and computational mechanistic studies.

Project description:Chiral molecules with multiple stereocenters are widely present in natural products and pharmaceuticals, whose absolute and relative configurations are both critically important for their physiological activities. In spite of the fact that a series of ingenious strategies have been developed for asymmetric diastereodivergent catalysis, most of these methods are limited to the divergent construction of point chirality. Here we report an enantioselective and diastereodivergent synthesis of trisubstituted allenes by asymmetric additions of oxazolones to activated 1,3-enynes enabled by chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) catalysis, where the divergence of the allenic axial stereogenicity is realized by modifications of CPA catalysts. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are performed to elucidate the origin of diastereodivergence by the stacking- and stagger-form in the transition state (TS) of allene formation step, as well as to disclose a Münchnone-type activation mode of oxazolones under Brønsted acid catalysis.
