All-carbon quaternary centers via ruthenium-catalyzed hydroxymethylation of 2-substituted butadienes mediated by formaldehyde: beyond hydroformylation.

ABSTRACT: Ruthenium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of 2-substituted dienes 1a-i in the presence of paraformaldehyde results in reductive coupling at the 2-position to furnish the hydroxymethylation products 3a-i, which embody all-carbon quaternary centers. Reductive coupling of diene 1g to paraformaldehyde under standard conditions, but employing deuterio-paraformaldehyde, 2-propanol-d(8), or both, corroborated a catalytic mechanism involving rapid, reversible diene hydrometalation with incomplete regioselectivity in advance of C-C coupling. The present method provides an alternative to the hydroformylation of conjugated dienes, for which efficient, regioselective catalytic systems remain undeveloped.

Copper-catalyzed hydroformylation and hydroxymethylation of styrenes.

Project description:Hydroformylation catalyzed by transition metals is one of the most important homogeneously catalyzed reactions in industrial organic chemistry. Millions of tons of aldehydes and related chemicals are produced by this transformation annually. However, most of the applied procedures use rhodium catalysts. In the procedure described here, a copper-catalyzed hydroformylation of alkenes has been realized. Remarkably, by using a different copper precursor, the aldehydes obtained can be further hydrogenated to give the corresponding alcohols under the same conditions, formally named as hydroxymethylation of alkenes. Under pressure of syngas, various aldehydes and alcohols can be produced from alkenes with copper as the only catalyst, in excellent regioselectivity. Additionally, an all-carbon quaternary center containing ethers and formates can be synthesized as well with the addition of unactivated alkyl halides. A possible reaction pathway is proposed based on our results.

Synthesis of quaternary carbon centers via hydroformylation.

Project description:The application of hydroformylation to the synthesis of quaternary carbon centers is reported. The synthesis of the highly substituted carbon is achieved by applying a catalytic amount of 1. Ligand 1 serves as a catalytic directing group by covalently and reversibly binding to both the substrate and catalyst. The intramolecular nature of the directing group strategy accelerates the hydroformylation reaction such that the reaction is performed at mild temperatures (35-55 degrees C) and with excellent regioselectivity (b:l > 94:6).

Hydroxymethylation beyond Carbonylation: Enantioselective Iridium-Catalyzed Reductive Coupling of Formaldehyde with Allylic Acetates via Enantiotopic π-Facial Discrimination.

Project description:Chiral iridium complexes modified by SEGPHOS catalyze the 2-propanol-mediated reductive coupling of branched allylic acetates 1a-1o with formaldehyde to form primary homoallylic alcohols 2a-2o with excellent control of regio- and enantioselectivity. These processes, which rely on enantiotopic π-facial discrimination of σ-allyliridium intermediates, represent the first examples of enantioselective formaldehyde C-C coupling beyond aldol addition.

Identical adducts are generated from acetaldehyde under related conditions employing isopropanol as reductant.

Catalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of Acyclic Quaternary Centers: Palladium-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Allylic Alkylation of Fully Substituted Acyclic Enol Carbonates.

Project description:The first enantioselective palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic alkylation of fully substituted acyclic enol carbonates providing linear ?-quaternary ketones is reported. Investigation into the reaction revealed that the use of an electron-deficient phosphinooxazoline ligand renders the enolate geometry of the starting material inconsequential, with the same enantiomer of product obtained in the same level of selectivity regardless of the starting ratio of enolates. As a result, a general method toward acyclic all-carbon quaternary stereocenters has been developed.

Enantioselective synthesis of boron-substituted quaternary carbon stereogenic centers through NHC-catalyzed conjugate additions of (pinacolato)boron units to enones.

Project description:The first examples of Lewis base catalyzed enantioselective boryl conjugate additions (BCAs) that generate products containing boron-substituted quaternary carbon stereogenic centers are disclosed. Reactions are performed in the presence of 1.0-5.0?mol% of a readily accessible chiral accessible N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) and commercially available bis(pinacolato)diboron; cyclic or linear ?,?-unsaturated ketones can be used and rigorous exclusion of air or moisture is not necessary. The desired products are obtained in 63-95% yield and 91:9 to >99:1 enantiomeric ratio (e.r.). The special utility of the NHC-catalyzed approach is demonstrated in the context of an enantioselective synthesis of natural product antifungal (-)-crassinervic acid.

Rhodium-Catalyzed Enantioselective Cycloisomerization to Cyclohexenes Bearing Quaternary Carbon Centers.

Project description:We report a Rh-catalyzed enantioselective cycloisomerization of ?,?-heptadienes to afford cyclohexenes bearing quaternary carbon centers. Rhodium(I) and a new SDP ligand promote chemoselective formation of a cyclohex-3-enecarbaldehyde motif that is inaccessible by the Diels-Alder cycloaddition. Various ?,?-bisallylaldehydes rearrange to generate six-membered rings by a mechanism triggered by aldehyde C-H bond activation. Mechanistic studies suggest a pathway involving regioselective carbometalation and endocyclic ?-hydride elimination.

Rh-Catalyzed Desymmetrization of α-Quaternary Centers by Isomerization-Hydroacylation.

Project description:We describe a Rh-catalyzed desymmetrization of all-carbon quaternary centers from α,α-bis(allyl)aldehydes by a cascade featuring isomerization and hydroacylation. This desymmetrization competes with two other novel olefin functionalizations that are triggered by C-H bond activation, including carboacylation and bisacylation. A BIPHEP ligand promotes enantioselective formation of α-vinylcyclopentanones. Mechanistic studies support irreversible and enantioselective olefin-isomerization followed by olefin-hydroacylation.

Diastereo- and enantioselective ruthenium-catalyzed hydrohydroxyalkylation of 2-silyl-butadienes: carbonyl syn-crotylation from the alcohol oxidation level.

Project description:Exposure of alcohols 2a-2j to 2-silyl-butadienes in the presence of ruthenium complexes modified by (R)-SEGPHOS or (R)-DM-SEGPHOS results in redox-triggered generation of allylruthenium-aldehyde pairs, which combine to form products of carbonyl crotylation 4a-4j in the absence of stoichiometric byproducts and with high levels of syn-diastereo- and enantioselectivity. In the presence of isopropanol under otherwise identical conditions, aldehydes 3a-3j are converted to an equivalent set of adducts 4a-4j. Whereas reactions conducted using conventional heating require 48 h, microwave irradiation enables full conversion in only 4 h. Finally, as illustrated in the conversion of adduct 4a to compounds 6a and 6b, diastereoselective hydroboration-Suzuki cross-coupling with aryl and vinyl halides followed by Fleming-Tamao oxidation enables generation of anti,syn-stereotriads found in numerous polyketide natural products.
