N-heterocyclic carbene-initiated alpha-acylvinyl anion reactivity: additions of alpha-hydroxypropargylsilanes to aldehydes.

ABSTRACT: Highly substituted alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones are prepared by the N-heterocyclic carbene-initiated addition of alpha-hydroxypropargylsilanes to aldehydes. This strategy serves as a highly efficient alternative to the standard Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) approaches for these types of compounds. In contrast to the MBH reaction, different substitution in the beta-position of the product (R1) can be accommodated in moderate to excellent yields with a high degree of control over the resulting alkene.

N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed conjugate additions of alcohols.

Project description:An efficient intermolecular conjugate addition of alcohols to activated alkenes catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbenes has been developed. With 5 mol % of the free carbene derived from IMes·HCl, unsaturated ketones and esters are competent substrates, and a variety of primary and secondary alcohols can be employed as the nucleophile. No oligomerization is observed under these mild conditions for effective hydroalkoxylation. In addition to reactions with activated alkenes, IMes catalyzes the formation of vinyl ethers through the 1,4-addition of alcohols to ynones and promotes tandem conjugate addition/Michael cascade reactions. Preliminary data support a Brønsted base mechanism with the free carbene.

N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Promoted Rauhut]Currier Reactions between Vinyl Sulfones and α,β-Unsaturated Aldehydes.

Project description:N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) promote the addition of 1,1-bis(phenylsulfonyl)ethylene to the α-position of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. The proposed reaction pathway for this Rauhut-Currier-type reaction includes an unusual conjugate addition of an NHC to a bis-vinyl sulfone.

Silyl Anion Initiated Hydroboration of Aldehydes and Ketones.

Project description:Hydroboration is an emerging method for mild and selective reduction of carbonyl compounds. Typically, transition-metal or reactive main-group hydride catalysts are used in conjunction with a mild reductant such as pinacolborane. The reactivity of the main-group catalysts is a consequence of the nucleophilicity of their hydride ligands. Silicon hydrides are significantly less reactive and are therefore not efficient hydroboration catalysts. Here, a readily prepared silyl anion is reported to be an effective initiator for the reduction of aldehydes and ketones requiring mild conditions, low catalyst loadings and with a good substrate scope. The silyl anion it is shown to activate HBpin to generate a reactive borohydride in situ which reacts with aldehydes and ketones to afford the hydroboration product.

N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed oxidation of unactivated aldehydes to esters.

Project description:N-Heterocyclic carbenes catalyze the oxidation of unactivated aldehydes to esters with manganese(IV) oxide in excellent yield. The reaction proceeds through a transient activated alcohol, which when generated in situ allows for the selective oxidation of the aldehyde under mild conditions. These conditions successfully oxidize potentially epimerizable aldehydes and alcohols while preserving stereochemical integrity. A variety of ester derivatives can be synthesized with variation of the acylated alcohol as well as the unactivated aldehyde.

N-Heterocyclic Carbene Acyl Anion Organocatalysis by Ball-Milling.

Project description:The ability to conduct N-heterocyclic carbene-catalysed acyl anion chemistry under ball-milling conditions is reported for the first time. This process has been exemplified through applications to intermolecular-benzoin, intramolecular-benzoin, intermolecular-Stetter and intramolecular-Stetter reactions including asymmetric examples and demonstrates that this mode of mechanistically complex organocatalytic reaction can operate under solvent-minimised conditions.

Alpha'-hydroxyenones as mechanistic probes and scope-expanding surrogates for alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes in N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed reactions.

Project description:N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed reactions of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes and a variety of electrophiles allow the facile preparation of a diverse array of annulation products including trisubstituted cyclopentenes, gamma-lactams, and bicyclic beta-lactams. The substrate scope of these reactions, however, is limited by the difficulties of preparing the starting alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes. We now report that alpha'-hydroxyenones, which can be prepared in a single convenient step from aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes, can serve as efficient surrogates for enals in the annulation reactions. This protocol allows the facile preparation and use of substrates bearing nitrogen heterocycles. These reagents have also allowed us to demonstrate that, in contrast to other classes of aldehydes, the formation of the Breslow intermediate from enals and N-heterocyclic carbenes is irreversible under the reaction conditions.

Late-stage diversification of chiral N-heterocyclic-carbene precatalysts for enantioselective homoenolate additions.

Project description:A library of chiral triazolium salts has been prepared by late-state diversification of a triazolium amine salt. By utilizing a primary amine as a functional handle, a single triazolium salt can be transformed into a variety of chiral N-heterocyclic carbene precatalysts. This approach makes the preparation of chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes possible by a single-step modification of a triazolium salt, rather than the usual need for multistep organic synthesis and challenging heterocycle formation for each member of a catalyst library. We have screened these catalysts for control of diastereo- and enantioselectivity in a γ-lactam-forming reaction between α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and cyclic ketimines.

Asymmetric N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed Annulation of 2-Alkenylbenzothiazoles with ?-Chloro Aldehydes.

Project description:Diastereo- and enantioselective N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzed 1-azadiene Diels-Alder reactions of (E)-2-styrylbenzothiazoles with ?-chloro aldehydes are reported. This annulation strategy provides an efficient access to medicinally important dihydrobenzothiazolopyridin-1-ones in good to excellent yields (44-97%) with very good to excellent stereoselectivities (up to 9:1 dr, 98% ee) and tolerates quite a range of substituents.

Chiral N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed generation of ester enolate equivalents from {alpha},{beta}-unsaturated aldehydes for enantioselective Diels-Alder reactions.

Project description:The catalytic generation of chiral ester enolate equivalents from ?,?-unsaturated aldehydes with chiral N-hetereocyclic carbene catalysts makes possible highly enantioselective hetero-Diels-Alder reactions. The reactions proceed under simple, mild conditions with both aliphatic and aromatic substituted enals as substrates. Previous attempts to employ these starting materials as enolate precursors gave structurally different products via catalytically generated homoenolate equivalents. Critical to the success of the enolate generation was the strength of the catalytic base used to generate the active N-heterocyclic carbene catalyst. To complement these studies, we have investigated the enolate structure using computational methods and find that it prefers conformations perpendicular to the triazolium core.

N-Heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed deaminative cross-coupling of aldehydes with Katritzky pyridinium salts.

Project description:By employing an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyst, we developed a versatile catalytic system that enables deaminative cross-coupling reactions of aldehydes with redox-active pyridinium salts. Katritzky pyridinium salts behave as single-electron oxidants capable of generating alkyl radicals enabled by the redox properties of the enolate form of Breslow intermediates. The resultant alkyl radical undergoes efficient recombination with the NHC-bound aldehyde-derived carbonyl carbon radical for the formation of a C-C bond. The mild and transition metal-free reaction conditions tolerate a broad range of functional groups, and its utility has been further demonstrated by the modification of a series of peptide feedstocks and application to the three-component dicarbofunctionalization of olefins.
