Solvent-controlled intramolecular [2 + 2] photocycloadditions of alpha-substituted enones.

ABSTRACT: The regio- and stereoselectivity of intramolecular [2 + 2] photocycloadditions of 2'-hydroxyenones are shown to be solvent-dependent. In the presence of aprotic solvents, 2'-hydroxyenones undergo photocycloadditions in a manner consistent with the presence of an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the carbonyl group and the tether's hydroxy functionality. In protic solvents, intermolecular interactions appear to disrupt the intramolecular hydrogen bond, providing products with complementary diastereoselectivity. If the facial accessibility of the alpha-tethered olefin is limited, the cycloadditions proceed to give head-to-tail or head-to-head regioisomers, depending on the nature of the solvent employed.

Intramolecular Relaxation Dynamics Mediated by Solvent-Solute Interactions of Substituted Fluorene Derivatives. Solute Structural Dependence.

Project description:Several fluorene derivatives exhibit excited-state reactivity and relaxation dynamics that remain to be understood fully. We report here the spectral relaxation dynamics of two fluorene derivatives to evaluate the role of structural modification in the intramolecular relaxation dynamics and intermolecular interactions that characterize this family of chromophores. We have examined the time-resolved spectral relaxation dynamics of two compounds, NCy-FR0 and MK-FR0, in protic and aprotic solvents using steady-state and time-resolved emission spectroscopy and quantum chemical computations. Both compounds exhibit spectral relaxation characteristics similar to those seen in FR0, indicating that hydrogen bonding interactions between the chromophore and solvent protons play a significant role in determining the relaxation pathways available to three excited electronic states.

Substituted α-Alkylidene Cyclopentenones via the Intramolecular Reaction of Vinyl Cations with Alkenes.

Project description:Substituted α-alkylidene cyclopentenones are formed in up to 93% yield by the intramolecular capture of vinyl cations with pendent alkenes. An increased level of substitution at the β-position of the β-hydroxy-α-diazoketone starting material changed the course of the reaction to instead give a lactone product. A reaction path that involves bond reorganization via an acylium ion intermediate is proposed to explain these results. Substrate scope studies showed that more stable vinyl cations gave higher α-alkylidene cyclopentenone yields. This study provides a mild and efficient method to form α-alkylidene cyclopentenones that complements C-H insertion and Nazarov cyclization strategies.

Chiral Bronsted acid-controlled intermolecular asymmetric [2 + 2] photocycloadditions.

Project description:Control over the stereochemistry of excited-state photoreactions remains a significant challenge in organic synthesis. Recently, it has become recognized that the photophysical properties of simple organic substrates can be altered upon coordination to Lewis acid catalysts, and that these changes can be exploited in the design of highly enantioselective catalytic photoreactions. Chromophore activation strategies, wherein simple organic substrates are activated towards photoexcitation upon binding to a Lewis acid catalyst, rank among the most successful asymmetric photoreactions. Herein, we show that chiral Brønsted acids can also catalyze asymmetric excited-state photoreactions by chromophore activation. This principle is demonstrated in the context of a highly enantio- and diastereoselective [2+2] photocycloaddition catalyzed by a chiral phosphoramide organocatalyst. Notably, the cyclobutane products arising from this method feature a trans-cis stereochemistry that is complementary to other enantioselective catalytic [2+2] photocycloadditions reported to date.

Aggregation of α-synuclein is kinetically controlled by intramolecular diffusion.

Project description:We hypothesize that the first step of aggregation of disordered proteins, such as α-synuclein, is controlled by the rate of backbone reconfiguration. When reconfiguration is fast, bimolecular association is not stable, but as reconfiguration slows, association is more stable and subsequent aggregation is faster. To investigate this hypothesis, we have measured the rate of intramolecular diffusion in α-synuclein, a protein involved in Parkinson's disease, under solvent conditions that accelerate or decelerate aggregation. Using the method of tryptophan-cysteine (Trp-Cys) quenching, the rate of intramolecular contact is measured in four different loops along the chain length. This intrinsically disordered protein is highly diffusive at low temperature at neutral pH, when aggregation is slow, and compacts and diffuses more slowly at high temperature or low pH, when aggregation is rapid. Diffusion also slows with the disease mutation A30P. This work provides unique insights into the earliest steps of α-synuclein aggregation pathway and should provide the basis for the development of drugs that can prevent aggregation at the initial stage.

Squaramide-catalyzed enantioselective Michael addition of masked acyl cyanides to substituted enones.

Project description:Masked acyl cyanide (MAC) reagents are shown to be effective umpolung synthons for enantioselective Michael addition to substituted enones. The reactions are catalyzed by chiral squaramides and afford adducts in high yields (90-99%) and with excellent enantioselectivities (85-98%). The addition products are unmasked to produce dicyanohydrins that, upon treatment with a variety of nucleophiles, provide γ-keto acids, esters, and amides. The use of this umpolung synthon has enabled, in enantiomerically enriched form, the first total synthesis of the prenylated phenol (+)-fornicin C.

Intramolecular [2+2] Photocycloaddition of Cyclic Enones: Selectivity Control by Lewis Acids and Mechanistic Implications.

Project description:The intramolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition of 3-alkenyl-2-cycloalkenones was performed in an enantioselective fashion (nine representative examples, 54-86 % yield, 76-96 % ee) upon irradiation at λ=366 nm in the presence of an AlBr3 -activated oxazaborolidine as the Lewis acid. An extensive screening of proline-derived oxazaborolidines showed that the enantioface differentiation depends strongly on the nature of the aryl group at the 3-position of the heterocycle. DFT calculations of the Lewis acid-substrate complex indicate that attractive dispersion forces may be responsible for a change of the binding mode. The catalytic [2+2] photocycloaddition was shown to proceed on the triplet hypersurface with a quantum yield of 0.05. The positive effect of Lewis acids on the outcome of a given intramolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition was illustrated by optimizing the key step in a concise total synthesis of the sesquiterpene (±)-italicene.

Electrophilic reactivities of cyclic enones and α,β-unsaturated lactones.

Project description:The reactivities of cyclic enones and α,β-unsaturated lactones were characterized by following the kinetics of their reactions with colored carbon-centered reference nucleophiles in DMSO at 20 °C. The experimentally determined second-order rate constants k 2 were analyzed with the Mayr-Patz equation, lg k = s N(N + E), to furnish the electrophilicity descriptors E for the Michael acceptors. Cyclic enones and lactones show different reactivity trends than their acyclic analogs. While cyclization reduces the reactivity of enones slightly, α,β-unsaturated lactones are significantly more reactive Michael acceptors than analogously substituted open-chain esters. The observed reactivity trends were rationalized through quantum-chemically calculated Gibbs energy profiles (at the SMD(DMSO)/M06-2X/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory) and distortion interaction analysis for the reactions of the cyclic Michael acceptors with a sulfonium ylide. The electrophilicities of simplified electrophilic fragments reflect the general reactivity pattern of structurally more complex terpene-derived cyclic enones and sesquiterpene lactones, such as parthenolide.
