Origins of stereoselectivity in the ?-alkylation of chiral hydrazones.

ABSTRACT: Density functional theory calculations and experiment reveal the origin of stereoselectivity in the deprotonation-alkylation of chiral N-amino cyclic carbamate (ACC) hydrazones. When the ACC is a rigid, camphor-derived carbamate, the two conformations of the azaenolate intermediate differ in energy due to conformational effects within the oxazolidinone ring and steric interactions between the ACC and the azaenolate. An electrophile adds selectively to the less-hindered ?-face of the azaenolate. Although it was earlier reported that use of ACC auxiliaries led to ?-alkylated ketones with er values of 82:18 to 98:2, B3LYP calculations predict higher stereoselectivity. Direct measurement of the dr of an alkylated hydrazone prior to removal of the auxiliary confirms this prediction; the removal of the auxiliary under the reported conditions can compromise the overall stereoselectivity of the process.

Origins of stereoselectivity in Diels-Alder cycloadditions catalyzed by chiral imidazolidinones.

Project description:B3LYP/6-31G(d) density functional theory has been used to study Diels-Alder reactions of cyclopentadiene with alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones organocatalyzed by MacMillan's chiral imidazolidinones. Preferred conformations of transition structures and reaction intermediates have been located. The dramatically different reactivities and enantioselectivities exhibited by two similar chiral imidazolidinones are rationalized.

Origins of stereoselectivity in evolved ketoreductases.

Project description:Mutants of Lactobacillus kefir short-chain alcohol dehydrogenase, used here as ketoreductases (KREDs), enantioselectively reduce the pharmaceutically relevant substrates 3-thiacyclopentanone and 3-oxacyclopentanone. These substrates differ by only the heteroatom (S or O) in the ring, but the KRED mutants reduce them with different enantioselectivities. Kinetic studies show that these enzymes are more efficient with 3-thiacyclopentanone than with 3-oxacyclopentanone. X-ray crystal structures of apo- and NADP(+)-bound selected mutants show that the substrate-binding loop conformational preferences are modified by these mutations. Quantum mechanical calculations and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used to investigate the mechanism of reduction by the enzyme. We have developed an MD-based method for studying the diastereomeric transition state complexes and rationalize different enantiomeric ratios. This method, which probes the stability of the catalytic arrangement within the theozyme, shows a correlation between the relative fractions of catalytically competent poses for the enantiomeric reductions and the experimental enantiomeric ratio. Some mutations, such as A94F and Y190F, induce conformational changes in the active site that enlarge the small binding pocket, facilitating accommodation of the larger S atom in this region and enhancing S-selectivity with 3-thiacyclopentanone. In contrast, in the E145S mutant and the final variant evolved for large-scale production of the intermediate for the antibiotic sulopenem, R-selectivity is promoted by shrinking the small binding pocket, thereby destabilizing the pro-S orientation.

Origins of stereoselectivity in the trans Diels-Alder paradigm.

Project description:The regioselectivity and stereoselectivity aspects of the Diels-Alder/radical hydrodenitration reaction sequence leading to trans-fused ring systems have been investigated with density functional calculations. A continuum of transition structures representing Diels-Alder and hetero-Diels-Alder cycloadditions as well as a sigmatropic rearrangement have been located, and they all lie very close in energy on the potential energy surface. All three pathways are found to be important in the formation of the Diels-Alder adduct. Reported regioselectivities are reproduced by the calculations. The stereoselectivity of radical hydrodenitration of the cis-Diels-Alder adduct is found to be related to the relative conformational stabilities of bicyclic radical intermediates. Overall, the computations provide understanding of the regioselectivities and stereoselectivities of the trans-Diels-Alder paradigm.

Origins of stereoselectivity in the oxido-alkylidenation of alkynes.

Project description:A mild, convenient oxido-alkylidenation of alkynes is described. The three-step sequence involves the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a nitrone and an alkynoate, oxidation of the resulting isoxazoline, and stereoselective extrusion of nitrosomethane. Quantum mechanical calculations identified the interactions of R3 with the oxidant and the preferred conformation of a diradical intermediate as major factors controlling the stereoselectivity of the oxidation and torquoselectivity of the extrusion.

Disodium Salts of Pseudoephedrine-Derived Myers Enolates: Stereoselectivity and Mechanism of Alkylation.

Project description:Pseudoephedrine-derived dianionic Myers enolates were generated using sodium diisopropylamide (NaDA) in THF solution. The reactivities and selectivities of the disodium salts largely mirror those of the dilithium salts but without the requisite large excesses of inorganic salts (LiCl) or mandated dilute solutions. The disodium salts require careful control of temperature to preclude deleterious aggregate aging effects traced to changes in the aggregate structure and intervening O-alkylations. Structural studies and density functional theory (DFT) computations show a dominant highly symmetric polyhedron quite different from the lithium analogue. No enolate-NaDA mixed aggregates are observed with excess NaDA. Rate studies show an alkylation mechanism involving an intervening tetramer-monomer pre-equilibrium followed by rate-limiting alkylation of tetrasolvated monomers. DFT computations were conducted to explore the possible influences on stereochemistry. A crystal deriving from samples aged at ambient temperature contains six dianionic subunits and two monoanionic (alkoxide-only) subunits. A new preparation of concentrated solutions of NaDA in THF solution is described.

The reaction was efficient for aryl substrates with both electron-withdrawing and -donating groups. Carboxylic acid additives were found to be necessary for optimal reaction.

An investigation of the observed, but counter-intuitive, stereoselectivity noted during chiral amine synthesis via N-chiral-ketimines.

Project description:The default explanation for good to high diastereomeric excess when reducing N-chiral imines possessing only mediocre cis/trans-imine ratios (>15% cis-imine) has invariably been in situ cis-to-trans isomerization before reduction; but until now no study unequivocally supported this conclusion. The present study co-examines an alternative hypothesis, namely that some classes of cis-imines may hold conformations that erode the inherent facial bias of the chiral auxiliary, providing more of the trans-imine reduction product than would otherwise be expected. The ensuing experimental and computational (DFT) results favor the former, pre-existing, explanation.

Mechanism and Origins of Stereoselectivity of the Aldol-Tishchenko Reaction of Sulfinimines.

Project description:Density functional theory computations have elucidated the mechanism and origins of stereoselectivity in McGlacken's aldol-Tishchenko reaction for the diastereoselective synthesis of 1,3-amino alcohols using Ellman's t-butylsulfinimines as chiral auxiliaries. Variations of stereochemical outcome are dependent on the nature of the ketone starting materials used, and the aspects leading to these differences have been rationalized. The intramolecular hydride transfer step is the rate- and stereochemistry-determining step, and all prior steps are reversible.

On the origin of the stereoselectivity in chiral amide-based ammonium ylide-mediated epoxidations.

Project description:AbstractDetailed DFT studies provide an in-depth mechanistic understanding for the use of chiral amide-based ammonium ylides in epoxidation reactions. It is shown that the used chiral auxiliary efficiently shields one face of the ylide, which thus results in an extraordinarily high stereoselectivity giving only one trans-isomer with perfect control of the absolute configuration.Graphical abstract

Diastereodivergent asymmetric Michael-alkylation reactions using chiral N,N'-dioxide/metal complexes.

Project description:A diastereodivergent asymmetric Michael-alkylation reaction between 3-chloro-oxindoles and ?,?-unsaturated-?-ketoesters has been achieved using L-RaPr2 /Sc(OTf)3 and L-PrPr2 /Mg(OTf)2 metal complexes as catalysts. Both rel-(1R,2S,3R) and rel-(1S,2S,3R) chiral spiro cyclopropane oxindoles were constructed in good yields, diastereoselectivities and ee values. The diastereodivergent control may originate from different alkylation pathways after the Michael addition, with either intramolecular trapping of the aza-ortho-xylylene intermediate or direct SN2 substitution.
