Multicomponent macrocyclization reactions (MCMRs) employing highly reactive acyl ketene and nitrile oxide intermediates.

ABSTRACT: An efficient synthesis of spiro-fused macrolactams by a multicomponent macrocyclization reaction (MCMR) is reported. The use of highly reactive, transient intermediates in this MCMR permits short reaction times, even at high dilution. The methods employed for this MCMR were first developed as a four-component strategy for the synthesis of ?-ketoamide isoxazolines and a new macrocyclization reaction is reported.

An efficient synthesis of spiro-fused macrolactams by a multicomponent macrocyclization reaction (MCMR) is reported. The use of highly reactive, transient intermediates in this MCMR permits short reaction times, even at high dilution. The methods employed for this MCMR were first developed as a four-component strategy for the synthesis of β-ketoamide isoxazolines and a new macrocyclization reaction is reported. ...[more]

Into the Blue: Ketene Multicomponent Reactions under Visible Light.

Project description:For the first time, a detailed study on the photophysical properties of variously substituted diazoketones and on their photoreactivity under blue LED irradiation was carried out. Despite very limited absorbance in the visible region, we have demonstrated that, independently from their structure, α-diazoketones all undergo a very efficient Wolff rearrangement. Contrarily to the same UV-mediated reaction, where photons can give rise to side processes, in this case, almost all absorbed photons are selective and effective, and the quantum yield is close to 100%. If the rearrangement is carried out in the presence of isocyanides and carboxylic acids/silanols, the photoreactivity is not affected, and the resulting ketenes can afford α-acyloxy- and α-silyloxyacrylamides through two distinct multicomponent reactions, performed both in batch and under continuous flow, with improved selectivity and broader scope. These photoinduced multicomponent reactions can be coupled with other visible-light-mediated transformations, thus increasing the diversity of the molecules obtainable by this approach.

Reactive intermediates in oxygenation reactions with mononuclear nonheme iron catalysts.

Project description:An advanced intermediate: A nonheme iron(IV) oxo complex [Fe(IV)(O)(bqen)(L)](n+) (bqen = N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-bis(8-quinolyl)ethane-1,2-diamine, L = CH(3)CN or CF(3)SO(3)(-)) activates the C-H bonds of alkanes and alcohols by a hydrogen-atom abstraction mechanism. The catalytic oxidation of these species is proposed to occur through a nonheme iron(V) oxo species, with a high reactivity in oxidation reactions (see picture).

Unsubstituted Bambusurils: Post-Macrocyclization Modification of Versatile Intermediates.

Project description:A new bambusuril derivative, (H)BU[6], lacking substituents on the ureidic nitrogen atoms, has been isolated and characterized. This macrocycle was prepared by the deprotection of bambusuril (PMB)BU[6]. (H)BU[6] is attractive for use as a starting compound for the preparation of other bambusuril derivatives, which was demonstrated via propargylation and the copper-catalyzed click reaction performed on the macrocycle.

Chirality-matched catalyst-controlled macrocyclization reactions.

Project description:Macrocycles, formally defined as compounds that contain a ring with 12 or more atoms, continue to attract great interest due to their important applications in physical, pharmacological, and environmental sciences. In syntheses of macrocyclic compounds, promoting intramolecular over intermolecular reactions in the ring-closing step is often a key challenge. Furthermore, syntheses of macrocycles with stereogenic elements confer an additional challenge, while access to such macrocycles are of great interest. Herein, we report the remarkable effect peptide-based catalysts can have in promoting efficient macrocyclization reactions. We show that the chirality of the catalyst is essential for promoting favorable, matched transition-state relationships that favor macrocyclization of substrates with preexisting stereogenic elements; curiously, the chirality of the catalyst is essential for successful reactions, even though no new static (i.e., not "dynamic") stereogenic elements are created. Control experiments involving either achiral variants of the catalyst or the enantiomeric form of the catalyst fail to deliver the macrocycles in significant quantity in head-to-head comparisons. The generality of the phenomenon, demonstrated here with a number of substrates, stimulates analogies to enzymatic catalysts that produce naturally occurring macrocycles, presumably through related, catalyst-defined peripheral interactions with their acyclic substrates.

Aryl nitrile oxide cycloaddition reactions in the presence of pinacol boronic acid ester.

Project description:An aryl substrate with dual functionality consisting of a nitrile oxide and a pinacolyl boronate ester was prepared by mild hypervalent iodine oxidation (diacetoxyiodobenzene) of the corresponding aldoxime, without decomposition of the boronate functionality. The nitrile oxide was trapped in situ with a variety of dipolarophiles to yield aryl isoxazolines with the boronate ester function intact and available for subsequent reaction.

Multicomponent Reactions: "Kinderleicht".

Project description:A demonstration experiment of the synthesis of a novel tetrazole derivative via a multicomponent reaction (Ugi tetrazole four component reaction, UT-4CR) bearing a luminol moiety and a subsequent exploitation of its chemiluminescent properties is described. A complex product is generated in just one simple step, so simple that children can do it: "kinderleicht", German for dead easy. Students are stimulated, inspired, and involved in a multilevel active learning process using the Steps to Inquiry framework as a metacognitive tool that raises student awareness regarding scientific process and prompts them to ask their own questions discussing the merits of a mechanism and evaluating its effectiveness before they start their own cycles of inquiry.

Molecular Understanding of the Catalytic Consequence of Ketene Intermediates under Confinement.

Project description:Neutral ketene is a crucial intermediate during zeolite carbonylation reactions. In this work, the roles of ketene and its derivates (viz., acylium ion and surface acetyl) associated with direct C-C bond coupling during the carbonylation reaction have been theoretically investigated under realistic reaction conditions and further validated by synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction (SR-XRD) and Fourier transformed infrared (FT-IR) studies. It has been demonstrated that the zeolite confinement effect has significant influence on the formation, stability, and further transformation of ketene. Thus, the evolution and the role of reactive and inhibitive intermediates depend strongly on the framework structure and pore architecture of the zeolite catalysts. Inside side pockets of mordenite (MOR), rapid protonation of ketene occurs to form a metastable acylium ion exclusively, which is favorable toward methyl acetate (MA) and acetic acid (AcOH) formation. By contrast, in 12MR channels of MOR, a relatively longer lifetime was observed for ketene, which tends to accelerate deactivation of zeolite due to coke formation by the dimerization of ketene and further dissociation to diene and alkyne. Thus, we resolve, for the first time, a long-standing debate regarding the genuine role of ketene in zeolite catalysis. It is a paradigm to demonstrate the confinement effect on the formation, fate, and catalytic consequence of the active intermediates in zeolite catalysis.

Catalytic pyrolysis mechanism of lignin moieties driven by aldehyde, hydroxyl, methoxy, and allyl functionalization: the role of reactive quinone methide and ketene intermediates.

Project description:The catalytic pyrolysis of guaiacol-based lignin monomers, vanillin, syringol, and eugenol over commercial HZSM-5 has been investigated using operando Photoelectron Photoion Coincidence (PEPICO) spectroscopy to unveil the reaction mechanism by detecting reactive intermediates, such as quinone methides and ketenes, and products. Vanillin shares the decomposition mechanism with guaiacol due to prompt and efficient decarbonylation, which allows us to control this reaction leading to a phenol selectivity increase by switching to a faujasite catalyst and decreasing the Si/Al ratio. Syringol first demethylates to 3-methoxycatechol, which mainly dehydroxylates to o- and m-guaiacol. Ketene formation channels over HZSM-5 are less important here than for guaiacol or vanillin, but product distribution remains similar. C3 addition to guaiacol yields eugenol, which shows a more complex product distribution upon catalytic pyrolysis. By analogies to monomers with simplified functionalization, namely allylbenzene, 4-allylcatechol, and 4-methylcatechol, the eugenol chemistry could be fully resolved. Previously postulated reactive semi-quinone intermediates are detected spectroscopically, and their involvement opens alternative pathways to condensation and phenol formation. Allyl groups, produced by dehydroxylation of the β-O-4 bond, may not only decompose via C1/C2/C3 loss, but also cyclize to indene and its derivatives over HZSM-5. This comparably high reactivity leads to an unselective branching of the chemistry and to a complex product distribution, which is difficult to control. Indenes and naphthalenes are also prototypical coke precursors efficiently deactivating the catalyst. We rely on these mechanistic insights to discuss strategies to fine-tune process conditions to increase the selectivities of desired products by enhancing either vanillin and guaiacol or supressing eugenol yields from native lignin.

Tetrazoles via Multicomponent Reactions.

Project description:Tetrazole derivatives are a prime class of heterocycles, very important to medicinal chemistry and drug design due to not only their bioisosterism to carboxylic acid and amide moieties but also to their metabolic stability and other beneficial physicochemical properties. Although more than 20 FDA-approved drugs contain 1 H- or 2 H-tetrazole substituents, their exact binding mode, structural biology, 3D conformations, and in general their chemical behavior is not fully understood. Importantly, multicomponent reaction (MCR) chemistry offers convergent access to multiple tetrazole scaffolds providing the three important elements of novelty, diversity, and complexity, yet MCR pathways to tetrazoles are far from completely explored. Here, we review the use of multicomponent reactions for the preparation of substituted tetrazole derivatives. We highlight specific applications and general trends holding therein and discuss synthetic approaches and their value by analyzing scope and limitations, and also enlighten their receptor binding mode. Finally, we estimated the prospects of further research in this field.

Acyl and amino intermediates in reactions catalysed by pig pepsin. Analysis of transpeptidation products.

Project description:The action of pig pepsin on a variety of small peptides including Leu-Trp-Met-Arg, Leu-Trp-Met, Leu-Leu-NH2, benzyloxycarbonyl-Phe-Leu and Gly-Leu-Tyr was studied. Leu-Leu-Leu was found to be the major product from the substrates Leu-Trp-Met-Arg and Leu-Trp-Met, indicating that the predominant reaction at pH 3.4 was a transpeptidation of the acyl-transfer type. Leu-Leu-Leu was also formed in high yield by amino transfer from benzyloxycarbonyl-Phe-Leu. Like the amino-transfer reactions the acyl transfer proceeded via a covalent intermediate, since [14C]leucine was not incorporated into transpeptidation products and did not exchange with enzyme-bound leucine in the presence of acceptors. With Leu-Trp-Met both acyl and amino transpeptidation products, namely Leu-Leu, Leu-Leu-Leu, Met-Met and Met-Met-Met, were formed in addition to methionine and leucine. With Leu-Trp-Met-Arg (1 mM) the pH optimum for the rates of hydrolysis and acyl transfer is about pH 3.4. At this pH the rate of acyl transfer exceeds that of hydrolysis; at pH 2, however, hydrolysis was faster than transfer. A comparison of the effect of the length of substrates and products on the reaction rates allows the conclusion that the binding site can extend over eight to nine amino acid residues. Although the experiments provide no conclusive evidence for or against the involvement of amino and/or acyl intermediates in the hydrolysis of long peptides and proteins, the high yield of transpeptidation reactions of both types observed with some substrates suggests a major role for the intermediates in pepsin-catalysed reactions. The results also show that when pig pepsin is used for the digestion of proteins for sequence work, the likelihood of the formation of transpeptidation products is considerable. In this way peptides not present in the original sequence could easily form in a reasonably good yield.
