Catalytic Asymmetric [4 + 2] Additions with Aliphatic Nitroalkenes.

ABSTRACT: We describe an unprecedented cycloaddition reaction of 2-pyrones with aliphatic nitroalkenes catalyzed by a new bifunctional cinchona alkaloid-derived catalyst bearing a bulky TIPS-ether at the 9-position. The [2.2.2] bicyclic adducts were obtained in good yield with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity. Carbon isotope effects were measured by (13)C NMR and are indicative of a stepwise mechanism. Finally, a synthetic application is demonstrated, highlighting the utility of the cycloadducts.

Enantiocomplementary Michael Additions of Acetaldehyde to Aliphatic Nitroalkenes Catalyzed by Proline-Based Carboligases.

Project description:The blockbuster drug Pregabalin is widely prescribed for the treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy. Given the continuous epidemic growth of diabetes, the development of sustainable synthesis routes for Pregabalin and structurally related pharmaceutically active γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) derivatives is of high interest. Enantioenriched γ-nitroaldehydes are versatile synthons for the production of GABA derivatives, which can be prepared through a Michael-type addition of acetaldehyde to α,β-unsaturated nitroalkenes. Here we report that tailored variants of the promiscuous enzyme 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase (4-OT) can accept diverse aliphatic α,β-unsaturated nitroalkenes as substrates for acetaldehyde addition. Highly enantioenriched aliphatic (R)- and (S)-γ-nitroaldehydes were obtained in good yields using two enantiocomplementary 4-OT variants. Our results underscore the synthetic potential of 4-OT for the preparation of structurally diverse synthons for bioactive analogues of Pregabalin.

Catalytic asymmetric cationic shifts of aliphatic hydrocarbons.

Project description:Asymmetric catalysis is an advanced area of chemical synthesis, but the handling of abundantly available, purely aliphatic hydrocarbons has proven to be challenging. Typically, heteroatoms or aromatic substructures are required in the substrates and reagents to facilitate an efficient interaction with the chiral catalyst. Confined acids have recently been introduced as tools for homogenous asymmetric catalysis, specifically to enable the processing of small unbiased substrates1. However, asymmetric reactions in which both substrate and product are purely aliphatic hydrocarbons have not previously been catalysed by such super strong and confined acids. We describe here an imidodiphosphorimidate-catalysed asymmetric Wagner-Meerwein shift of aliphatic alkenyl cycloalkanes to cycloalkenes with excellent regio- and enantioselectivity. Despite their long history and high relevance for chemical synthesis and biosynthesis, Wagner-Meerwein reactions utilizing purely aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as those originally reported by Wagner and Meerwein, had previously eluded asymmetric catalysis.

Catalytic asymmetric peroxidation of ?,?-unsaturated nitroalkenes by a bifunctional organic catalyst.

Project description:A new enantioselective peroxidation of ?,?-unsaturated nitroalkenes was realized with an easily accessible acid-base bifunctional organic catalyst derived from cinchona alkaloids. This reaction provides unprecedented easy access to optically active chiral peroxides, as illustrated by the asymmetric synthesis of ?-peroxy nitro compounds.

Catalytic asymmetric intermolecular Stetter reaction of enals with nitroalkenes: enhancement of catalytic efficiency through bifunctional additives.

Project description:An asymmetric intermolecular Stetter reaction of enals with nitroalkenes catalyzed by chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes has been developed. The reaction rate and efficiency are profoundly impacted by the presence of catechol. The reaction proceeds with high selectivities and affords good yields of the Stetter product. Internal redox products were not observed despite of the protic conditions. The impact of catechol has been found to be general, facilitating far lower catalyst loadings than were previously achievable.

Catalytic asymmetric intermolecular stetter reaction of heterocyclic aldehydes with nitroalkenes: backbone fluorination improves selectivity.

Project description:The catalytic asymmetric intermolecular Stetter reaction of heterocyclic aldehydes and nitroalkenes has been developed. We have identified a strong stereoelectronic effect on catalyst structure when a fluorine substituent is placed in the backbone. X-ray structure analysis provides evidence that hyperconjugative effects are responsible for a change in conformation in the azolium precatalyst. This new N-heterocyclic carbene precursor bearing fluorine substitution in the backbone results in significantly improved enantioselectivities across a range of substrates.

Catalytic asymmetric reductive hydroalkylation of enamides and enecarbamates to chiral aliphatic amines.

Project description:To increase the reliability and success rate of drug discovery, efforts have been made to increase the C(sp3) fraction and avoid flat molecules. sp3-Rich enantiopure amines are most frequently encountered as chiral auxiliaries, synthetic intermediates for pharmaceutical agents and bioactive natural products. Streamlined construction of chiral aliphatic amines has long been regarded as a paramount challenge. Mainstream approaches, including hydrogenation of enamines and imines, C-H amination, and alkylation of imines, were applied for the synthesis of chiral amines with circumscribed skeleton structures; typically, the chiral carbon centre was adjacent to an auxiliary aryl or ester group. Herein, we report a mild and general nickel-catalysed asymmetric reductive hydroalkylation to effectively convert enamides and enecarbamates into drug-like α-branched chiral amines and derivatives. This reaction involves the regio- and stereoselective hydrometallation of an enamide or enecarbamate to generate a catalytic amount of enantioenriched alkylnickel intermediate, followed by C-C bond formation via alkyl electrophiles.

To our knowledge, this reaction provides the first useful catalytic asymmetric access toward β-hydroxy-α-amino acids bearing alkyl substituents, which are structural motifs embedded in many natural products.

Organocatalyzed asymmetric Michael reaction of ?-aryl-?-ketophosphonates and nitroalkenes.

Project description:The first enantioselective Michael reaction of ?-aryl-?-ketophosphonates and nitroalkenes has been brealized by using a new bifunctional Takemoto-type thiourea catalyst. The primary Michael adducts obtained were converted in situ to the corresponding amides through the aminolysis. High yields, excellent diastereoselectivities (>95:5 dr), and good enantioselectivities (up to 81% ee) have been achieved for the corresponding ? ,?-disubstituted ?-nitroamides. This reaction againdemon strated that ?-ketophosphonates are interesting pronucleophiles that can be used as amide surrogates in organocatalyzed reactions.

Catalytic asymmetric Friedel-Crafts alkylation of unprotected indoles with nitroalkenes using a novel chiral Yb(OTf)<sub>3</sub>-pybox complex.

Project description:Chiral chloro-indeno pybox has served as a new ligand for the Yb(OTf)3-catalyzed asymmetric Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction of indoles with nitroalkenes. The tunable nature of pybox ligands enables the rational design of catalysts for optimal performance in terms of both activity and stereoselectivity in a Friedel-Crafts-type reaction. Good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities were obtained for a relatively wide range of substrates, including sterically hindered compounds, under optimized reaction conditions.
