Oxidation-initiated Nazarov cyclization of vinyl alkoxyallenes.

ABSTRACT: A mild method for the diastereoselective formation of C(4), C(5)-disubstituted cyclopentenones has been developed, involving formation of a pentadienyl cation via diastereoselective oxidation of a vinyl alkoxyallene. Conrotatory electrocyclization provides the cyclopentenone product. The broad scope, mild conditions, and uncommon substitution pattern accessible through this transformation make it a useful addition to the existing repertoire of cyclopentenone synthetic methods.

Total synthesis of (±)-rocaglamide via oxidation-initiated Nazarov cyclization.

Project description:This article describes the evolution of a Nazarov cyclization-based synthetic strategy targeting the anticancer, antiinflammatory, and insecticidal natural product (±)-rocaglamide. Initial pursuit of a polarized heteroaromatic Nazarov cyclization to construct the congested cyclopentane core revealed an unanticipated electronic bias in the pentadienyl cation. This reactivity was harnessed in a successful second-generation approach using an oxidation-initiated Nazarov cyclization of a heteroaryl alkoxyallene. Full details of these two approaches are given, as well as the characterization of undesired reaction pathways available to the Nazarov cyclization product. A sequence of experiments that led to an understanding of the unexpected reactivity of this key intermediate is described, which culminated in the successful total synthesis of (+)-rocaglamide.

Nazarov cyclization initiated by peracid oxidation: the total synthesis of (+/-)-rocaglamide.

Project description:The total syntheses of aglafolin, rocagloic acid, and rocaglamide using Nazarov cyclization are described. Generation of the necessary oxyallyl cation intermediate was accomplished via peracid oxidation of an allenol ether to generate an unusual oxycarbenium ion species that undergoes cyclization. The synthesis is efficient, highly diastereoselective, and strategically distinct from previous syntheses of rocaglamide.

Conjugate addition-initiated Nazarov cyclization.

Project description:A reaction sequence involving the 1,6-conjugate addition of a nucleophile to a dienyl diketone followed by Nazarov cyclization is described. Several nucleophiles are identified as competent initiators for the sequence. A different reaction outcome is observed when catalytic amounts of nucleophile are employed, involving elimination of the nucleophile after the electrocyclization.

Cyclization reactions through DDQ-mediated vinyl oxazolidinone oxidation.

Project description:Vinyl oxazolidinones react with DDQ to form alpha,beta-unsaturated acyliminium ions in a new method for forming electrophiles under oxidative conditions. Appended nucleophiles undergo 1,4-addition reactions with these intermediates to form cyclic vinyl oxazolidinones with good levels of diastereocontrol, highlighting a new approach to utilizing oxidative carbon-hydrogen bond functionalization to increase molecular complexity.

Aza-Nazarov cyclization cascades.

Project description:Benzamides with tethered acetal groups undergo reactions in CF(3)SO(3)H to give ring-fused isoindolinones by a cyclization cascade. The reaction initially forms an N-acyliminium ion which then gives the isoindolinone by the aza-Nazarov reaction. An unusual variant also cyclizes at the allylic position.

An organocatalytic asymmetric Nazarov cyclization.

Project description:An organocatalytic asymmetric Nazarov cyclization of diketoesters that proceeds by means of a dual activation mechanism has been developed. Screening of a number of catalysts led to a new thiourea that incorporates a primary amino group. The method gives rise to cyclic products with two adjacent quaternary asymmetric carbon atoms, one of which is an all-carbon stereocenter, with complete or nearly complete diastereoselectivity and in high or very high enantiomeric excess. A brief and very convenient synthesis of the acyclic diketoester starting materials through nucleophilic addition to a ketene is also described.

Enamine-iminium ion Nazarov cyclization of alpha-ketoenones.

Project description:The mono-triflate salts of some chiral nonracemic 1,2-diamines react with alpha-ketoenones in a stoichiometric reaction to form products of the Nazarov cyclization in high enantiomeric ratios. The mechanism appears to involve rearrangement of an enamine-iminium ion.

Efficient Nazarov cyclization/Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement terminated by a Cu(II)-promoted oxidation: synthesis of 4-alkylidene cyclopentenones.

Project description:The discovery and elucidation of a new Nazarov cyclization/Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement/oxidation sequence is described that constitutes an efficient strategy for the synthesis of 4-alkylidene cyclopentenones. DFT computations and EPR experiments were conducted to gain further mechanistic insight into the reaction pathways.

Enantioselective Nazarov Cyclization Catalyzed by a Cinchona Alkaloid Derivative.

Project description:Nucleophilic catalysts for a 1,6 addition/Nazarov cyclization/elimination sequence were evaluated for their ability to induce enantioselectivity in the electrocyclization step. Of the tertiary amines examined, it was found that a cinchona alkaloid derivative was able to generate substituted 5-hydroxy ?-methylene cyclopentenones with excellent enantioselectivity. The study results suggest that successful cyclization depends upon the ability of the dienyl diketone substrate to readily adopt an s-cis conformation.

Traceless chiral auxiliaries for the allene ether Nazarov cyclization.

Project description:The key stereochemical factors that determine transfer of asymmetry from the chiral auxiliary to the cyclopentenone in the allene ether version of the Nazarov reaction have been elucidated. On the basis of the new insights into the mechanism, two highly effective chiral auxiliaries were designed and prepared.
