Ruthenium catalyzed C-C bond formation via transfer hydrogenation: branch-selective reductive coupling of allenes to paraformaldehyde and higher aldehydes.

ABSTRACT: Under the conditions of ruthenium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation employing 2-propanol as the terminal reductant, 1,1-disubstituted allenes 1a- h engage in reductive coupling to paraformaldehyde to furnish homoallylic alcohols 2a- h. Under identical transfer hydrogenation conditions, 1,1-disubstituted allenes engage in reductive coupling to aldehydes 3a- f to furnish homoallylic alcohols 4a- n. In all cases, reductive coupling occurs with branched regioselectivity to deliver homoallylic alcohols bearing all-carbon quaternary centers.

Branch-selective reductive coupling of 2-vinyl pyridines and imines via rhodium catalyzed C-C bond forming hydrogenation.

Project description:Hydrogenation of 2-vinyl azines 1a-1e in the presence of N-arylsulfonyl imines 2a-2l at ambient temperature and pressure employing cationic rhodium catalysts ligated by tri-2-furylphosphine results in regioselective reductive coupling to furnish branched products of imine addition 3a-3v, which embody modest to high levels of syn-diastereoselectivity. Catalytic coupling of 6-bromo-2-vinylpyridine 1a to imine 2l under an atmosphere of elemental deuterium provides deuterio-3l, with deuterium exclusively at the former beta-position of the vinyl moiety. These data are consistent with a catalytic mechanism involving oxidative coupling of the vinyl azine and imine partners to furnish a cationic aza-rhodacyclopentane, which upon deuteriolytic cleavage releases the adduct and regenerates cationic rhodium(I) to close the catalytic cycle. These studies represent the first metal catalyzed reductive C-C couplings of vinyl azines.

anti-Aminoallylation of aldehydes via ruthenium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenative coupling of sulfonamido allenes: 1,2-aminoalcohols.

Project description:Ruthenium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of N-sulfonamido allene 1e in the presence of aromatic aldehydes 2a-f, alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes 2g-i, and aliphatic aldehydes 2j-l results in reductive coupling to furnish the corresponding anti-aminoallylation products 3a-l. Reductive coupling of allenamide 1e to aldehyde 2a conducted using 2-propanol-d(8) as the terminal reductant delivers deuterio-3a. The observed pattern of deuterium incorporation suggests reversible allene hydrometalation with incomplete regioselectivity in advance of carbonyl addition. A survey of monosubstituted allenes 1f-i was conducted. High levels of anti-diastereoselectivity were observed only when tert-butyl allene 1f was used. This protocol represents an alternative to the use of amino-substituted allylborane reagents in carbonyl aminoallylation and avoids the use of stoichiometric metallic reagents.

Direct vinylation of alcohols or aldehydes employing alkynes as vinyl donors: a ruthenium catalyzed C-C bond-forming transfer hydrogenation.

Project description:Under the conditions of ruthenium catalyzed transfer hydrogenation, 2-butyne couples to benzylic and aliphatic alcohols 1a-1l to furnish allylic alcohols 2a-2l, constituting a direct C-H vinylation of alcohols employing alkynes as vinyl donors. Under related transfer hydrogenation conditions employing formic acid as terminal reductant, 2-butyne couples to aldehydes 4a, 4b, and 4e to furnish identical products of carbonyl vinylation 2a, 2b, and 2e. Thus, carbonyl vinylation is achieved from the alcohol or the aldehyde oxidation level in the absence of any stoichiometric metallic reagents. Nonsymmetric alkynes 6a-6c couple efficiently to aldehyde 4b to provide allylic alcohols 2m-2o as single regioisomers. Acetylenic aldehyde 7a engages in efficient intramolecular coupling to deliver cyclic allylic alcohol 8a.

Enantioselective reductive multicomponent coupling reactions between isatins and aldehydes.

Project description:A metal-free stereoselective reductive coupling reaction between isatins and aldehydes is reported. The reaction relies on commercial diethyl phosphite (∼€70 kg-1) as the stoichiometric reductant. Base-catalyzed Pudovik addition and phosphonate/phosphate rearrangement achieved polarity inversion on the isatin, and the derived carbanions were trapped by aldehydes with subsequent dialkoxyphosphinyl migration. Chiral iminophosphoranes were used as basic catalysts to achieve high diastereo- and enantioselectivities with excellent yields.

Asymmetric Organocatalytic Reductive Coupling Reactions between Benzylidene Pyruvates and Aldehydes.

Project description:An organocatalytic three-component reductive coupling reaction between dimethyl phosphite, benzylidene pyruvates, and aldehydes is reported. A chiral triaryliminophosphorane catalyst promotes Pudovik addition, which is followed by phospha-Brook rearrangement to transiently generate enolates that are trapped stereoselectively by aldehydes. This reductive coupling provides vicinal polyfunctionalized stereocenters from readily available prochiral starting materials with excellent diastereoselectivity, enantioselectivity, and yield.

Enantioselective and site-specific copper-catalyzed reductive allyl-allyl cross-coupling of allenes.

Project description:A copper-catalyzed asymmetric reductive allyl-allyl cross-coupling reaction of allenes with allylic phosphates wherein allenes were used as allylmetal surrogates has been achieved for the first time. This protocol provides an efficient and straightforward route to optically active 1,5-dienes in a highly enantioselective and site-specific fashion. Furthermore, all-carbon quaternary stereogenic centers could also be constructed with this protocol. The versatility of the products is demonstrated through a diverse array of further transformations of the enantioenriched 1,5-dienes.
