Lewis acid catalyzed intramolecular condensation of ynol ether-acetals. Synthesis of alkoxycycloalkene carboxylates.

Project description:Treatment of ynol ether-tethered dialkyl acetals with catalytic quantities of scandium triflate in CH(3)CN gives rise to five-, six-, and seven-membered alkoxycycloalkene carboxylates in good to excellent yields. Tri- and tetrasubstituted carbocyclic and heterocyclic alkenes may be formed by this method, and the products obtained may serve as useful intermediates for natural product synthesis.

Arene Activation through Iminium Ions: Product Diversity from Intramolecular Photocycloaddition Reactions.

Project description:While 2-alk-ω-enyloxy-sustituted benzaldehydes do not display any photochemical reactivity at the arene core, the respective iminium perchlorates were found to undergo efficient reactions either upon direct irradiation (λ=366 nm) or under sensitizing conditions (λ=420 nm, 2.5 mol% thioxanthen-9-one). Three pathways were found: (a) Most commonly, the reaction led to benzoxacyclic products in which the olefin in the tether underwent a formal, yet unprecedented carboformylation (13 examples, 44-99 % yield). The cascade process occurred with high diastereoselectivity and was found to be stereoconvergent. (b) If a substituent resides in the 3-position of the benzene ring, a meta photocycloaddition was observed which produced tetracyclic skeletons with five stereogenic centers in excellent regio- and diastereoselectivity (2 examples, 58-79 % yield). (c) If the tether was internally substituted at the alkene, an arene photocycloaddition was avoided and an azetidine was formed in an aza Paternò-Büchi reaction (2 examples, 95-98 % yield).

Lewis base catalyzed, enantioselective, intramolecular sulfenoamination of olefins.

Project description:A method for the enantioselective, intramolecular sulfenoamination of various olefins has been developed using a chiral BINAM-based selenophosphoramide, Lewis base catalyst. Terminal and trans disubstituted alkenes afforded pyrrolidines, piperidines, and azepanes in high yields and high enantiomeric ratios via enantioselective formation and subsequent stereospecific capture of the thiiranium intermediate with the pendant tosyl-protected amine.

Gold(I)-Catalyzed Nucleophilic Allylation of Azinium Ions with Allylboronates.

Project description:Gold(I)-catalyzed nucleophilic allylations of pyridinium and quinolinium ions with various allyl pinacolboronates are reported. The reactions are completely selective with respect to the site of the azinium ion that is attacked, to give various functionalized 1,4-dihydropyridines and 1,4-dihydroquinolines. Evidence suggests that the reactions proceed through nucleophilic allylgold(I) intermediates formed by transmetalation from allylboronates. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations provided mechanistic insight.

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.

Structural Mimics of Acetylene Hydratase: Tungsten Complexes Capable of Intramolecular Nucleophilic Attack on Acetylene.

Project description:Bioinspired complexes employing the ligands 6-tert-butylpyridazine-3-thione (SPn) and pyridine-2-thione (SPy) were synthesized and fully characterized to mimic the tungstoenzyme acetylene hydratase (AH). The complexes [W(CO)(C2 H2 )(CHCH-SPy)(SPy)] (4) and [W(CO)(C2 H2 )(CHCH-SPn)(SPn)] (5) were formed by intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the nitrogen donors of the ligand on the coordinated C2 H2 molecule. Labelling experiments using C2 D2 with the SPy system revealed the insertion reaction proceeding via a bis-acetylene intermediate. The starting complex [W(CO)(C2 H2 )(SPy)2 ] (6) for these studies was accessed by the new acetylene precursor mixture [W(CO)(C2 H2 )n (MeCN)3-n Br2 ] (n=1 and 2; 7). All complexes represent rare examples in the field of W-C2 H2 chemistry with 4 and 5 being the first of their kind. In the ongoing debate on the enzymatic mechanism, the findings support activation of acetylene by the tungsten center.

Lewis Acid Catalyzed Displacement of Trichloroacetimidates in the Synthesis of Functionalized Pyrroloindolines.

Project description:The pyrroloindoline core is found in many natural products. These structures often differ at the C3a position, which may be substituted with an oxygen, nitrogen, or sp(3)- or sp(2)-hybridized carbon. Utilizing a trichloroacetimidate leaving group, a diversity-oriented approach to these structures has been developed. The trichloroacetimidate intermediate allows for the rapid incorporation of anilines, alcohols, thiols, and carbon nucleophiles. This method was applied in the synthesis of arundinine and a formal synthesis of psychotriasine.

Scope of the asymmetric intramolecular stetter reaction catalyzed by chiral nucleophilic triazolinylidene carbenes.

Project description:A highly enantioselective intramolecular Stetter reaction of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes tethered to different Michael acceptors has been developed. Two triazolium scaffolds have been identified that catalyze the intramolecular Stetter reaction with good reactivity and enantioselectivity. The substrate scope has been examined and found to be broad; both electron-rich and -poor aromatic aldehydes undergo cyclization in high yield and enantioselectivity. The tether can include oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen, and carbon linkers with no detrimental effects. In addition, the incorporation of various tethered Michael acceptors includes amides, esters, thioesters, ketones, aldehydes, and nitriles. The catalyst loading may be reduced to 3 mol % without significantly affecting the reactivity or selectivity of the reaction.

Collective synthesis of acetylenic pharmaceuticals via enantioselective Nickel/Lewis acid-catalyzed propargylic alkylation.

Project description:Chiral acetylenic derivatives are found in many bioactive compounds and are versatile functional groups in organic chemistry. Here, we describe an enantioselective nickel/Lewis acid-catalyzed asymmetric propargylic substitution reaction from simple achiral materials under mild condition. The introduction of a Lewis acid cocatalyst is crucial to the efficiency of the transformation. Notably, we investigate this asymmetric propargylic substitution reaction for the development of a range of structurally diverse natural products. The power of this strategy is highlighted by the collective synthesis of seven biologically active compounds: (-)-Thiohexital, (+)-Thiopental, (+)-Pentobarbital, (-)-AMG 837, (+)-Phenoxanol, (+)-Citralis, and (-)-Citralis Nitrile.

Synthesis of Tridentate [1,2,4] Triazinyl-Pyridin-2-yl Indole Lewis Basic Complexants via Pd-Catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling.

Project description:Full closure of the nuclear fuel cycle is predicated, in part, on defining efficient separations processes for the effective speciation of the neutron-absorbing lanthanides from the minor actinides post-PUREX. Pursuant to the aforementioned, a class of tridentate, Lewis basic procomplexants have been prepared leveraging a Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling between 6-bromo-[1,2,4]-triazinylpyridine derivatives and various protected indole-boronic acids to afford functionalized 2-[6-(5,6-diphenyl-[1,2,4]triazin-3-yl)-pyridin-2-yl]-1H-indoles. A highly active catalyst/ligand system with low loadings was employed rapidly affording 26 examples in yields as high as 85%. Method optimization, substrate and indole scope, comparative analysis between coupling reagents, and a scale-up experiment are reported.
