Origin of stereoselectivity in the imidazolidinone-catalyzed reductions of cyclic alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones.

ABSTRACT: The organocatalytic transfer hydrogenation reactions of 3-phenyl-2-cyclopentenone with imidazolidinone catalysts are evaluated using the hybrid density functional (B3LYP/6-31G(d)) theory. The origin of the preference for the (E) iminium transition state is determined, and the stereoselectivity of hydride transfer is investigated.

Catalytic asymmetric addition of diphenylzinc to cyclic alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones.

Project description:We have examined the use of our bis(sulfonamide) diol ligand (1) in the asymmetric addition of phenyl groups to cyclic alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones. Good to excellent enantioselectivities have been obtained with cyclic enones bearing alkyl substituents in the 2 position (71-97% enantiomeric excess). Furthermore, excellent enantioselectivities have been observed in the asymmetric phenylation of cyclic enones with 2-iodo and 2-bromo substituents. The results of this study broaden the scope of the asymmetric additions to ketones promoted by the titanium catalyst derived from ligand 1.

Preparation of α-Perfluoroalkyl Ketones from α,β-Unsaturated Ketones via Formal Hydroperfluoroalkylation.

Project description:Formal hydroperfluoroalkylation of enones is achieved in a two-step process comprising conjugate hydroboration and subsequent radical perfluoroalkylation. The 1,4-hydroboration of the enone is conducted in the absence of any transition metal catalyst with catecholborane in 1,2-dichloroethane, and the generated boron enolate is in situ α-perfluoroalkylated with a perfluoroalkyl iodide upon blue LED irradiation in the presence of an amine additive. Both reactions proceed under very mild conditions at room temperature.

Catalytic enantioselective peroxidation of alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones.

Project description:Despite the potential of chiral peroxides as biologically interesting or even clinically important compounds, no catalytic enantioselective peroxidation has been reported. With a chiral catalyst not only to induce enantioselectivity but also to convert a well established epoxidation pathway into a peroxidation pathway, the first efficient catalytic peroxidation has been successfully developed. Employing readily available alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones and hydroperoxides and an easily accessible cinchona alkaloid catalyst, this novel reaction will open new possibilities in the asymmetric synthesis of chiral peroxides. Under different conditions a highly enantioselective epoxidation with the same starting materials, reagents, and catalyst has was also established.

Understanding divergent substrate stereoselectivity in the isothiourea-catalysed conjugate addition of cyclic α-substituted β-ketoesters to α,β-unsaturated aryl esters.

Project description:The development of enantioselective synthetic methods capable of generating vicinal stereogenic centres, where one is tetrasubstituted (such as either an all-carbon quaternary centre or where one or more substituents are heteroatoms), is a recognised synthetic challenge. Herein, the enantioselective conjugate addition of a range of carbo- and heterocyclic α-substituted β-ketoesters to α,β-unsaturated aryl esters using the isothiourea HyperBTM as a Lewis base catalyst is demonstrated. Notably, divergent diastereoselectivity is observed through the use of either cyclopentanone-derived or indanone-derived substituted β-ketoesters with both generating the desired stereodefined products with high selectivity (>95 : 5 dr, up to 99 : 1 er). The scope and limitations of these processes are demonstrated, alongside application on gram scale. The origin of the divergent substrate selectivity has been probed through the use of DFT-analysis, with preferential orientation driven by dual stabilising CH⋯O interactions. The importance of solvation with strongly polar transition-states is highlighted and the SMD solvation model is demonstrated to capture solvation effects reliably.

Evaluation of α,β-unsaturated ketones as antileishmanial agents.

Project description:In this study, we assessed the antileishmanial activity of 126 α,β-unsaturated ketones. The compounds NC901, NC884, and NC2459 showed high leishmanicidal activity for both the extracellular (50% effective concentration [EC50], 456 nM, 1,122 nM, and 20 nM, respectively) and intracellular (EC50, 1,870 nM, 937 nM, and 625 nM, respectively) forms of Leishmania major propagated in macrophages, with little or no toxicity to mammalian cells. Bioluminescent imaging of parasite replication showed that all three compounds reduced the parasite burden in the murine model, with no apparent toxicity.

Ca(OH)2-Catalyzed Condensation of Aldehydes with Methyl ketones in Dilute Aqueous Ethanol: A Comprehensive Access to α,β-Unsaturated Ketones.

Project description:Cheap, abundant but seldom-employed Ca(OH)2 was found to be an excellent low-loading (5-10 mol%) catalyst for Claisen-Schmidt condensation of aldehydes with methyl ketones under mild conditions. It was interesting that dilute aqueous ethanol (20 v/v%) was unexpectedly discovered to be the optimal solvent. The reaction was scalable at least to 100 mmol and calcium could be precipitated by CO2 and removed by filtration. Evaporation of solvent directly afforded the product in the excellent 96% yield with high purity, as confirmed by its (1)H NMR spectrum.

Photocontrolled Cobalt Catalysis for Selective Hydroboration of α,β-Unsaturated Ketones.

Project description:Selectivity between 1,2 and 1,4 addition of a nucleophile to an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound has classically been modified by the addition of stoichiometric additives to the substrate or reagent to increase their "hard" or "soft" character. Here, we demonstrate a conceptually distinct approach that instead relies on controlling the coordination sphere of a catalyst with visible light. In this way, we bias the reaction down two divergent pathways, giving contrasting products in the catalytic hydroboration of α,β-unsaturated ketones. This includes direct access to previously elusive cyclic enolborates, via 1,4-selective hydroboration, providing a straightforward and stereoselective route to rare syn-aldol products in one-pot. DFT calculations and mechanistic experiments confirm two different mechanisms are operative, underpinning this unusual photocontrolled selectivity switch.

Metallophosphite-catalyzed asymmetric acylation of alpha,beta-unsaturated amides.

Project description:The l-menthone-derived TADDOL phosphite 6b catalyzes highly enantioselective conjugate additions of acyl silanes to alpha,beta-unsaturated amides. p-Methoxybenzoyl cyclohexyldimethylsilane adds to a variety of N,N-dimethyl acrylamide derivatives in the presence of the lithium salt of 6b. In many instances the alpha-silyl-gamma-ketoamide product undergoes facile enantioenrichment (to 97-99% ee) upon recrystallization. Desilylation with HF.pyr affords the formal Stetter addition products. Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of the desilylated gamma-ketoamides affords useful ester products. An X-ray diffraction study of 6b reveals that the isopropyl group of the menthone ketal influences the position of the syn-pseudoaxial phenyl group in the TADDOL structure. Through a crossover experiment, the silicon migration step in the reaction mechanism is shown to be strictly intramolecular.
