Catalytic asymmetric hydrometallation of cyclobutenes with salicylaldehydes.

ABSTRACT: Chiral, substituted cyclobutanes are common motifs in bioactive compounds and intermediates in organic synthesis but few asymmetric routes for their synthesis are known. Herein we report the Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrometallation of a range of meso-cyclobutenes with salicylaldehydes. The ortho-phenolic group promotes hydroacylation and can be used as a handle for subsequent transformations. The reaction proceeds via asymmetric hydrometallation of the weakly activated cyclobutene, followed by a C-C bond forming reductive elimination. A prochiral, spirocyclic cyclobutene undergoes a highly regioselective hydroacylation. This report will likely inspire the development of other asymmetric addition reactions to cyclobutenes via hydrometallation pathways.

Multicatalytic, asymmetric Michael/Stetter reaction of salicylaldehydes and activated alkynes.

Project description:We report the development of a multicatalytic, one-pot, asymmetric Michael/Stetter reaction between salicylaldehydes and electron-deficient alkynes. The cascade proceeds via amine-mediated Michael addition followed by an N-heterocyclic carbene-promoted intramolecular Stetter reaction. A variety of salicylaldehydes, doubly activated alkynes, and terminal, electrophilic allenes participate in a one-step or two-step protocol to give a variety of benzofuranone products in moderate to good yields and good to excellent enantioselectivities. The origin of enantioselectivity in the reaction is also explored; E/Z geometry of the reaction intermediate as well as the presence of catalytic amounts of catechol additive are found to influence reaction enantioselectivity.

Catalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of Cyclobutenes from Alkynes and Alkenyl Derivatives.

Project description:Discovery of enantioselective catalytic reactions for the preparation of chiral compounds from readily available precursors, using scalable and environmentally benign chemistry, can greatly impact their design, synthesis, and eventually manufacture on scale. Functionalized cyclobutanes and cyclobutenes are important structural motifs seen in many bioactive natural products and pharmaceutically relevant small molecules. They are also useful precursors for other classes of organic compounds such as other cycloalkane derivatives, heterocyclic compounds, stereodefined 1,3-dienes, and ligands for catalytic asymmetric synthesis. The simplest approach to make cyclobutenes is through an enantioselective [2 + 2]-cycloaddition between an alkyne and an alkenyl derivative, a reaction which has a long history. Yet known reactions of this class that give acceptable enantioselectivities are of very narrow scope and are strictly limited to activated alkynes and highly reactive alkenes. Here, we disclose a broadly applicable enantioselective [2 + 2]-cycloaddition between wide variety of alkynes and alkenyl derivatives, two of the most abundant classes of organic precursors. The key cycloaddition reaction employs catalysts derived from readily synthesized ligands and an earth-abundant metal, cobalt. Over 50 different cyclobutenes with enantioselectivities in the range of 86-97% ee are documented. With the diverse functional groups present in these compounds, further diastereoselective transformations are easily envisaged for synthesis of highly functionalized cyclobutanes and cyclobutenes. Some of the novel observations made during these studies including a key role of a cationic Co(I)-intermediate, ligand and counterion effects on the reactions, can be expected to have broad implications in homogeneous catalysis beyond the highly valuable synthetic intermediates that are accessible by this route.

Catalytic Arylboration of Spirocyclic Cyclobutenes: Rapid Access to Highly Substituted Spiro[3.n]alkanes.

Project description:A method to achieve the synthesis of highly substituted spirocyclic cyclobutanes is disclosed. The reaction involves the catalytic arylboration of cyclobutenes. Depending on the substitution pattern of the cyclobutene, either a Cu/Pd- or a Ni-catalyzed reaction was utilized. In the case of the Cu/Pd catalyzed reactions, the identification of a Cu-complex for arylboration was crucial to observe high selectivity. The synthetic utility of the products is demonstrated, and the mechanistic details are discussed.

A Catalytic Asymmetric Hydrolactonization.

Project description:Despite recent advancements in the development of catalytic asymmetric electrophile induced lactonization reactions of olefinic carboxylic acids, the archetypical hydrolactonization has long remained an unsolved and well-recognized challenge. Here, we report the realization of a catalytic asymmetric hydrolactonization using a confined imidodiphosphorimidate (IDPi) Brønsted acid catalyst. The method is operationally simple, scalable, and compatible with a wide variety of substrates. Its potential is showcased with concise syntheses of the sesquiterpenes (-)-boivinianin A and (+)-gossonorol. Through in-depth physicochemical and DFT analyses, we derive a nuanced picture of the mechanism and enantioselectivity of this reaction.

Catalytic Asymmetric β-Oxygen Elimination.

Project description:A catalytic enantioselective β-O-elimination reaction is reported in the form of a zirconium-catalyzed asymmetric opening of meso-ketene acetals. Furthermore, a regiodivergent β-O-elimination is demonstrated. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions, at low catalyst loadings, and produces chiral monoprotected cis-1,2-diols in good yield and enantiomeric excess. The combination with a Mitsunobu reaction or a one-pot hydroboration/Suzuki reaction sequence then gives access to additional diol and aminoalcohol building blocks. A stereochemical analysis supported by DFT calculations reveals that a high selectivity in the hydrozirconation step is also important for achieving high enantioselectivity, although it does not constitute the asymmetric step. This insight is crucial for the future development of related asymmetric β-elimination reactions.

Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis of meta Benzene Isosteres

Project description:Aromatic rings are common elements in pharmaceutically active compounds; however, their ready oxidation can present a liability with respect to a drug's metabolic stability. Replacing these aromatic rings in pharmaceutical compounds with non-aromatic isosteric motifs can enhance properties such as potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and lipophilicity. Since the binding pockets of most pharmaceutical targets are chiral, the stereochemical configuration of the isosteric replacements are expected to have an impact on the affinity of derived ligands for target receptors. A significant impediment to this approach is the lack of simple, and scalable catalytic enantioselective syntheses of candidate isosteres from readily available precursors. In this work, we present a heretofore unknown palladium-catalyzed reaction that converts hydrocarbon-derived precursors to chiral boron-containing nortricyclanes and we show that that shape of these nortricyclanes makes them plausible isosteres for meta disubstituted aromatic rings. With chiral catalysts, the Pd-catalyzed reaction can be accomplished in an enantioselective fashion and subsequent transformation of the boron group provides access to a broad array of structures. We also show that incorporation of nortricyclanes into pharmaceutical motifs can result in improved biophysical properties along with stereochemistry-dependent activity. We anticipate that these features, coupled with the simple, inexpensive synthesis of the functionalized nortricyclane scaffold will render this platform a useful foundation for assembly of new biologically active agents.

A catalytic asymmetric route to carbapenems.

Project description:Efficient syntheses of N-acetyl thienamycin and epithienamycin A in their readily deprotected form are reported where three contiguous stereocenters are established in a single catalytic asymmetric azetidinone-forming reaction. These examples are a template for synthesizing C-5/C-6 cis or trans carbapenems with independent control of the C-8 stereocenter. A library of oxidatively and sterochemically defined azetidinone precursors to a variety of naturally occurring carbapenems and potential biosynthetic intermediates has been prepared to facilitate studies of carbapenem antibiotic biosynthesis.

Catalytic asymmetric formal synthesis of beraprost.

Project description:The first catalytic asymmetric synthesis of the key intermediate for beraprost has been achieved through an enantioselective intramolecular oxa-Michael reaction of an α,β-unsaturated amide mediated by a newly developed benzothiadiazine catalyst. The Weinreb amide moiety and bromo substituent of the Michael adduct were utilized for the C-C bond formations to construct the scaffold. All four contiguous stereocenters of the tricyclic core were controlled via Rh-catalyzed stereoselective C-H insertion and the subsequent reduction from the convex face.

The Catalytic Asymmetric Intermolecular Prins Reaction.

Project description:Despite their significant potential, catalytic asymmetric reactions of olefins with formaldehyde are rare and metal-free approaches have not been previously disclosed. Here we describe an enantioselective intermolecular Prins reaction of styrenes and paraformaldehyde to form 1,3-dioxanes, using confined imino-imidodiphosphate (iIDP) Brønsted acid catalysts. Isotope labeling experiments and computations suggest a concerted, highly asynchronous addition of an acid-activated formaldehyde oligomer to the olefin. The enantioenriched 1,3-dioxanes can be transformed into the corresponding optically active 1,3-diols, which are valuable synthetic building blocks.
