Metalated Nitriles: Stereodivergent Cation-Controlled Cyclizations1.

ABSTRACT: Stereodivergent cyclizations of gamma-hydroxy cyclohexanecarbonitriles are controlled simply through judicious choice of cation in the alkylmetal base. Deprotonating a series of cyclic gamma-hydroxy nitriles with i-PrMgBr generates C-magnesiated nitriles that cyclize under stereoelectronic control to cis-fused hydrindanes, decalins, and bicyclo [5.4.0] undecanes. An analogous deprotonation with BuLi triggers cyclization to trans-fused hydrindanes, decalins, and bicyclo [5.4.0] undecanes consistent with a sterically controlled electrophilic attack on an equatorial nitrile anion. Using cations to control the geometry of metalated nitriles provides a versatile, stereodivergent cyclization to cis- and trans-hydrindanes, decalins, and [5. 4. 0] undecanes, and reveals the key geometric requirements for intramolecular S(N)2 and S(N)2' displacements.

Metalated nitriles: cation-controlled cyclizations.

Project description:Judicious choice of cation allows the selective cyclization of substituted gamma-hydroxynitriles to trans- or cis-decalins and trans- or cis-bicyclo[5.4.0]undecanes. The stereoselectivities are consistent with deprotonations generating two distinctly different metalated nitriles: an internally coordinated nitrile anion with BuLi, and a C-magnesiated nitrile with i-PrMgCl. Employing cations to control the geometry of metalated nitriles permits stereodivergent cyclizations with complete control over the stereochemistry of the quaternary, nitrile-bearing carbon.

Metalated nitriles: SNi' cyclizations with a propargylic electrophile.

Project description:A rare 5-exo-dig SNi' cyclization with magnesiated and lithiated nitriles affords a cis-fused hydrindane bearing an exocyclic allene. The cyclization of the dilithiated nitrile pits a stereoelectronic preference for a trans-hydrindane against a cyclization through a less strained transition structure to the corresponding cis-hydrindane. Computational modeling suggests that the dilithiated nitrile cyclizes to a cis-hydrindane because the preferred transition structure positions the lithium cation in a cone of electron density that bridges the nitrile-bearing carbon, an alkoxide, and an electron-rich alkyne functionality.

C-metalated nitriles: electrophile-dependent alkylations and acylations.

Project description:Sequential carbonyl addition-conjugate addition of Grignard reagents to 3-oxocyclohex-1-ene-1-carbonitrile generates C-magnesiated nitriles whose alkylation stereoselectivities intimately depend on the nature of the electrophile. The alkylation of these C-magnesiated nitriles with alkyl halides, sulfonates, and unstrained ketones occurs with the retention of the C-Mg configuration, whereas aldehyde and acyl cyanide acylations proceed with inversion of the stereochemistry. Mechanistic probes indicate that the stereoselectivity is controlled by stereoelectronic effects for most electrophiles, except allylic, benzylic, and cyclopropyl halides where single-electron-transfer processes intervene. Screening numerous alkylations of C-magnesiated nitriles with a diverse range of electrophiles reveals the reaction scope and delineates the fundamental stereoelectronic effects responsible for the highly unusual electrophile-dependent alkylations.

Harnessing the cation-π interactions of metalated gold monolayer-protected clusters to detect aromatic volatile organic compounds.

Project description:The strong, non-covalent interactions between π-systems and cations have been the focus of numerous studies on biomolecule structure and catalysis. These interactions, however, have yet to be explored as a sensing mechanism for detecting trace levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In this article, we provide evidence that cation-π interactions can be used to elicit sensitive and selective chemiresistor responses to aromatic VOCs. The chemiresistors are fitted with carboxylate-linked alkali metals bound to the surface of gold monolayer-protected clusters formulated on microfabricated interdigitated electrodes. Sensor responses to aromatic and non-aromatic VOCs are consistent with a model for cation-π interactions arising from association of electron-rich aromatic π-systems to metal ions with the relative strength of attraction following the order K+ > Na+ > Li+. The results point toward cation-π interactions as a promising research avenue to explore for developing aromatic VOC-selective sensors.

Catalyst-Controlled Stereodivergent Synthesis of Atropisomeric Multiaxis Systems.

Project description:Molecular scaffolds with multiple rotationally restricted bonds allow a precise spatial positioning of functional groups. However, their synthesis requires methods addressing the configuration of each stereogenic axis. We report here a catalyst-stereocontrolled synthesis of atropisomeric multiaxis systems enabling divergence from the prevailing stereochemical reaction path. By using ion-pairing catalysts in arene-forming aldol condensations, a strong substrate-induced stereopreference can be overcome to provide structurally well-defined helical oligo-1,2-naphthylenes. The configuration of up to four stereogenic axes was individually catalyst-controlled, affording quinquenaphthalenes with a unique topology.

Metalated Oligosilanylstibines.

Project description:The reaction of a cyclic disilylated bromostibine with magnesium yields a rare example of a magnesium stibide that can be silylated with trimethylchlorosilane. Reaction of the thus-obtained trisilylated stibine with potassium tert-butoxide gives a potassium stibide in a clean reaction. Attempts to obtain an antimony-containing oligosilanide did not lead to the expected compound but to another potassium stibide, which presumably forms from the initially formed silanide by a 1,2-silyl shift. The synthetic potential of the obtained stibides to serve as building blocks could be shown by the preparation of stibylated zircono- and hafnocenes.

Controlled Selectivity through Reversible Inhibition of the Catalyst: Stereodivergent Semihydrogenation of Alkynes.

Project description:Catalytic semihydrogenation of internal alkynes using H2 is an attractive atom-economical route to various alkenes, and its stereocontrol has received widespread attention, both in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyses. Herein, a novel strategy is introduced, whereby a poisoning catalytic thiol is employed as a reversible inhibitor of a ruthenium catalyst, resulting in a controllable H2-based semihydrogenation of internal alkynes. Both (E)- and (Z)-alkenes were obtained efficiently and highly selectively, under very mild conditions, using a single homogeneous acridine-based ruthenium pincer catalyst. Mechanistic studies indicate that the (Z)-alkene is the reaction intermediate leading to the (E)-alkene and that the addition of a catalytic amount of bidentate thiol impedes the Z/E isomerization step by forming stable ruthenium thiol(ate) complexes, while still allowing the main hydrogenation reaction to proceed. Thus, the absence or presence of catalytic thiol controls the stereoselectivity of this alkyne semihydrogenation, affording either the (E)-isomer as the final product or halting the reaction at the (Z)-intermediate. The developed system, which is also applied to the controllable isomerization of a terminal alkene, demonstrates how metal catalysis with switchable selectivity can be achieved by reversible inhibition of the catalyst with a simple auxiliary additive.

Diastereoselective Synthesis of β-Lactams by Ligand-Controlled Stereodivergent Intramolecular Tsuji-Trost Allylation.

Project description:The diastereoselective synthesis of highly substituted β-lactams by intramolecular Tsuji-Trost allylation is reported. Judicious selection of the ligand on palladium allows selective access to either the trans isomer (in generally good to excellent yield with very high diastereomeric excess) or cis isomer (with yields and diastereoselectivity ranging from modest to excellent depending on the substrate). The reaction proceeds under exceedingly mild conditions (rt, no additives) with a broad range of substrates, which are readily accessible by the Ugi reaction.

The Bonding Situation in Metalated Ylides.

Project description:Quantum chemical calculations have been carried out to study the electronic structure of metalated ylides particularly in comparison to their neutral analogues, the bisylides. A series of compounds of the general composition Ph3 P-C-L with L being either a neutral or an anionic ligand were analyzed and the impact of the nature of the substituent L and the total charge on the electronics and bonding situation was studied. The charge at the carbon atom as well as the dissociation energies, bond lengths, and Wiberg bond indices strongly depend on the nature of L. Here, not only the charge of the ligand but also the position of the charge within the ligand backbone plays an important role. Independent of the substitution pattern, the NBO analysis reveals the preference of unsymmetrical bonding situations (P=C-L or P-C=L) for almost all compounds. However, Lewis structures with two lone-pair orbitals at the central carbon atom are equally valid for the description of the bonding situation. This is confirmed by the pronounced lone-pair character of the frontier orbitals. Energy decomposition analysis mostly reveals the preference of several bonding situations, mostly with dative and ylidic electron-sharing bonds (e.g., P→C- -L). In general, the anionic systems show a higher preference of the ylidic bonding situations compared to the neutral analogues. However, in most of the cases different resonance structures have to be considered for the description of the "real" bonding situation.

Stereodivergent Metal-Catalyzed Allene Cycloisomerizations.

Project description:Metal-catalyzed allene cycloisomerizations provide rapid entry into five-membered carbocyclic frameworks, a common motif in natural products and pharmaceuticals. While both Au(I) and Pd(0)-catalyzed allene cycloisomerizations give 5-endo-dig cyclization, Pd prefers the syn diastereomer in contrast to the anti isomer observed with Au. The change in stereoselectivity is proposed to arise from buildup of A1,3 strain during the key carbopalladation step to furnish the cycloisomerized products in moderate to good dr with yields comparable to Au(I) catalysts.
