The use of chiral lithium amides in the desymmetrisation of N-trialkylsilyl dimethyl sulfoximines.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chiral base desymmetrisation of dimethyl sulfoximines could provide a general route to chiral, enantioenriched dialkyl sulfoximines with potential for use in asymmetric catalysis.

Results

Asymmetric deprotonation of N-trialkylsilyl dimethyl sulfoximines with either enantiomer of lithium N,N-bis(1-phenylethyl)amide in the presence of lithium chloride affords enantioenriched sulfoximines on electrophilic trapping. Ketones, ketimines, trialkylsilyl chlorides and activated alkyl halides may be used as electrophiles in the reaction. Furthermore, a modified Horner-Emmons methodology was investigated.

Conclusion

Simple chiral lithium amides afford products with enantiomeric excesses of up to 70%, illustrating that chiral base desymmetrisation of dimethyl sulfoximines is possible.

Lithium Enolates in the Enantioselective Construction of Tetrasubstituted Carbon Centers with Chiral Lithium Amides as Noncovalent Stereodirecting Auxiliaries.

Project description:Lithium enolates derived from carboxylic acids are ubiquitous intermediates in organic synthesis. Asymmetric transformations with these intermediates, a central goal of organic synthesis, are typically carried out with covalently attached chiral auxiliaries. An alternative approach is to utilize chiral reagents that form discrete, well-defined aggregates with lithium enolates, providing a chiral environment conducive of asymmetric bond formation. These reagents effectively act as noncovalent, or traceless, chiral auxiliaries. Lithium amides are an obvious choice for such reagents as they are known to form mixed aggregates with lithium enolates. We demonstrate here that mixed aggregates can effect highly enantioselective transformations of lithium enolates in several classes of reactions, most notably in transformations forming tetrasubstituted and quaternary carbon centers. Easy recovery of the chiral reagent by aqueous extraction is another practical advantage of this one-step protocol. Crystallographic, spectroscopic, and computational studies of the central reactive aggregate, which provide insight into the origins of selectivity, are also reported.

Highly enantioselective direct alkylation of arylacetic acids with chiral lithium amides as traceless auxiliaries.

Project description:A direct, highly enantioselective alkylation of arylacetic acids via enediolates using a readily available chiral lithium amide as a stereodirecting reagent has been developed. This approach circumvents the traditional attachment and removal of chiral auxiliaries used currently for this type of transformation. The protocol is operationally simple, and the chiral reagent is readily recoverable.

Direct enantioselective conjugate addition of carboxylic acids with chiral lithium amides as traceless auxiliaries.

Project description:Michael addition is a premier synthetic method for carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond formation. Using chiral dilithium amides as traceless auxiliaries, we report the direct enantioselective Michael addition of carboxylic acids. A free carboxyl group in the product provides versatility for further functionalization, and the chiral reagent can be readily recovered by extraction with aqueous acid. The method has been applied in the enantioselective total synthesis of the purported structure of pulveraven B.

Stereoselective synthesis of perillaldehyde-based chiral ?-amino acid derivatives through conjugate addition of lithium amides.

Project description:The Michael addition of dibenzylamine to (+)-tert-butyl perillate (3) and to (+)-tert-butyl phellandrate (6), derived from (S)-(-)-perillaldehyde (1), resulted in diastereomeric ?-amino esters 7A-D in a moderately stereospecific reaction in a ratio of 76:17:6:1. After separation of the diastereoisomers, the major product, cis isomer 7A, was quantitatively isomerized to the minor component, trans-amino ester 7D. All four isomers were transformed to the corresponding ?-amino acids 10A-D, which are promising building blocks for the synthesis of ?-peptides and 1,3-heterocycles in three steps. The steric effects of the isopropyl group at position 4 and of the ?-methyl substituent of (R)-N-benzyl-N-?-methylbenzylamine on the reactivity were also studied and, upon application of a chiral amine, excellent stereoselectivity of the conjugate addition was observed. Amino ester 11 was obtained as a single product and transformed to the corresponding amino acids 10A and 10D in good yields on the gram scale.

An experimental and theoretical study of the enantioselective deprotonation of cyclohexene oxide with isopinocampheyl-based chiral lithium amides.

Project description:The mechanism of the enantioselective deprotonation of cyclohexene oxide with isopinocampheyl-based chiral lithium amide was studied by quantum chemical calculations. The transition states of eight molecules were fully optimized at the ab initio HF/3-21G and density functional B3LYP/3-21G levels with Gaussian 98. The activation energies were calculated at the B3LYP/6-31+G(3df,2p)//B3LYP/3-21G level. We found the theoretical evaluation to be consistent with the experimental data. At the best case, an enantiomeric excess of up to 95% for (R)-2-scyclohexen-1-ol was achieved with (-)-N, N-diisopinocampheyl lithium amide.

Hydrogen-Bond-Enabled Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of Axially Chiral Amides Mediated by a Chiral Counterion.

Project description:Non-biaryl atropisomers are valuable in medicine, materials, and catalysis, but their enantioselective synthesis remains a challenge. Herein, a counterion-mediated O-alkylation method for the generation of atropisomeric amides with an er up to 99:1 is outlined. This dynamic kinetic resolution is enabled by the observation that the rate of racemization of atropisomeric naphthamides is significantly increased by the presence of an intramolecular O-H???NCO hydrogen bond. Upon O-alkylation of the H-bond donor, the barrier to rotation is significantly increased. Quantum calculations demonstrate that the intramolecular H-bond reduces the rotational barrier about the aryl-amide bond, stabilizing the planar transition state for racemization by approximately 40?kJ?mol-1 , thereby facilitating the observed dynamic kinetic resolution.

Accessing Perfluoroaryl Sulfonimidamides and Sulfoximines via Photogenerated Perfluoroaryl Nitrenes: Synthesis and Application as a Chiral Auxiliary.

Project description:Sulfonimidamides (SIAs) and sulfoximines (SOIs) have attracted attention due to their potential in agriculture and in medicinal chemistry as bioisosteres of biologically active compounds, and new synthetic methods are needed to access and explore these compounds. Herein, we present a light-promoted generation of perfluorinated aromatic nitrenes, from perfluorinated azides, that subsequently are allowed to react with sulfinamides and sulfoxides, generating achiral and chiral SIAs and SOIs. One of the enantiopure SIAs was evaluated as a novel chiral auxiliary in Grignard additions to the imines yielding the product in up to 96:4 diastereomeric ratio.

Lewis Acid Enabled Copper-Catalyzed Asymmetric Synthesis of Chiral ?-Substituted Amides.

Project description:Here we report that readily available silyl- and boron-based Lewis acids in combination with chiral copper catalysts are able to overcome the reactivity issues of unactivated enamides, known as the least reactive carboxylic acid derivatives, toward alkylation with organomagnesium reagents. Allowing unequaled chemo-reactivity and stereocontrol in catalytic asymmetric conjugate addition to enamides, the method is distinguished by its unprecedented reaction scope, allowing even the most challenging and synthetically important methylations to be accomplished with good yields and excellent enantioselectivities. This catalytic protocol tolerates a broad temperature range (-78 °C to ambient) and scale up (10 g), while the chiral catalyst can be reused without affecting overall efficiency. Mechanistic studies revealed the fate of the Lewis acid in each elementary step of the copper-catalyzed conjugate addition of Grignard reagents to enamides, allowing us to identify the most likely catalytic cycle of the reaction.

Lithium Enolates Derived from Weinreb Amides: Insights into Five-Membered Chelate Rings.

Project description:Enolization of O-methyl hydroxamic acids (Weinreb amides) in tetrahydrofuran solution with lithium diisopropylamide affords predominantly tetrameric enolates. Aryl substituents on the enolates promote deaggregation. The aggregation states are assigned by using the method of continuous variation in conjunction with 6Li NMR spectroscopy. Decoalescence of the tetramer resonance below -100 °C shows considerable spectral complexity attributed to isomerism of the methoxy-based chelates. Density functional theory calculations were used to examine the consequences of the bite angle of five-membered chelates in cubic tetramers and resulting solvation numbers that were higher than anticipated.
