Direct, redox-neutral prenylation and geranylation of secondary carbinol C-H bonds: C4-regioselectivity in ruthenium-catalyzed C-C couplings of dienes to ?-hydroxy esters.

ABSTRACT: The ruthenium catalyst generated in situ from Ru(3)(CO)(12) and tricyclohexylphosphine, PCy(3), promotes the redox-neutral C-C coupling of aryl-substituted ?-hydroxy esters to isoprene and myrcene at the diene C4-position, resulting in direct carbinol C-H prenylation and geranylation, respectively. This process enables direct conversion of secondary to tertiary alcohols in the absence of stoichiometric byproducts or premetalated reagents, and is the first example of C4-regioselectivity in catalytic C-C couplings of 2-substituted dienes to carbonyl partners. Mechanistic studies corroborate a catalytic cycle involving diene-carbonyl oxidative coupling.

Chiral-at-Ruthenium-SEGPHOS Catalysts Display Diastereomer-Dependent Regioselectivity: Enantioselective Isoprene-Mediated Carbonyl <i>tert</i>-Prenylation via Halide Counterion Effects.

Project description:The first correlation between metal-centered stereogenicity and regioselectivity in a catalytic process is described. Alternate pseudo-diastereomeric chiral-at-ruthenium complexes of the type RuX(CO)[η3-prenyl][(S)-SEGPHOS] form in a halide-dependent manner and display divergent regioselectivity in catalytic C-C couplings of isoprene to alcohol proelectrophiles via hydrogen autotransfer. Whereas the chloride-bound ruthenium-SEGPHOS complex prefers a trans-relationship between the halide and carbonyl ligands and delivers products of carbonyl sec-prenylation, the iodide-bound ruthenium-SEGPHOS complex prefers a cis-relationship between the halide and carbonyl ligands and delivers products of carbonyl tert-prenylation. The chloride- and iodide-bound ruthenium-SEGPHOS complexes were characterized in solution and solid phase by 31P NMR and X-ray diffraction. Density functional theory calculations of the iodide-bound catalyst implicate a Curtin-Hammett-type scenario in which the transition states for aldehyde coordination from an equilibrating mixture of sec- and tert-prenylruthenium complexes are rate- and product-determining. Thus, control of metal-centered diastereoselectivity has unlocked the first catalytically enantioselective isoprene-mediated carbonyl tert-prenylations.

Regioselective Biocatalytic C4-Prenylation of Unprotected Tryptophan Derivatives.

Project description:Regioselective carbon-carbon bond formation belongs to the challenging tasks in organic synthesis. In this context, C-C bond formation catalyzed by 4-dimethylallyltryptophan synthases (4-DMATSs) represents a possible tool to regioselectively synthesize C4-prenylated indole derivatives without site-specific preactivation and circumventing the need of protection groups as used in chemical synthetic approaches. In this study, a toolbox of 4-DMATSs to produce a set of 4-dimethylallyl tryptophan and indole derivatives was identified. Using three wild-type enzymes as well as variants, various C5-substituted tryptophan derivatives as well as N-methyl tryptophan were successfully prenylated with conversions up to 90 %. Even truncated tryptophan derivatives like tryptamine and 3-indole propanoic acid were regioselectively prenylated in position C4. The acceptance of C5-substituted tryptophan derivatives was improved up to 5-fold by generating variants (e. g. T108S). The feasibility of semi-preparative prenylation of selected tryptophan derivatives was successfully demonstrated on 100 mg scale at 15 mM substrate concentration, allowing to reduce the previously published multistep chemical synthetic sequence to just a single step.

Substituent effects on regioselectivity in the autoxidation of nonconjugated dienes.

Project description:Free radical oxidation of several 1,4-dienes was carried out in the presence of variable concentrations of alpha-tocopherol to investigate the effect of diene structure on product distribution. Oxidations carried out at low tocopherol concentration gave only C-1 and C-5 conjugated diene hydroperoxides, while higher concentrations of the antioxidant resulted in formation of substantial amounts of the nonconjugated C-3 diene hydroperoxide. Increasing size of the substituents at C-1 and C-5 of the diene favors kinetic products arising from oxygen addition at the nonconjugated position, C-3, of the pentadienyl radical intermediate. Substituents at C-1 or C-5 of the pentadienyl radical also have a significant effect on the regioselectivity of the conjugated diene hydroperoxides formed, larger substituents directing oxygen addition to the pentadienyl radical at the site of least steric hindrance. This trend is also observed in oxidations of omega-3 and omega-6 linolenate fatty acid esters. Groups at C-1 and C-5 of the diene can influence product distribution based upon (a) steric demand in the oxygen-radical reaction and (b) the influence of substituents on the rearrangement of the C-3 peroxyl radical to give conjugated diene products.

Probing Halogen Bonds by Scalar Couplings.

Project description:As halogen bonding is a weak, transient interaction, its description in solution is challenging. We demonstrate that scalar coupling constants (J) are modulated by halogen bonding. The binding-induced magnitude change of one-bond couplings, even up to five bonds from the interaction site, correlates to the interaction strength. We demonstrate this using the NMR data of 42 halogen-bonded complexes in dichloromethane solution and by quantum chemical calculations. Our observation puts scalar couplings into the toolbox of methods for characterization of halogen bond complexes in solution and paves the way for their applicability for other types of weak σ-hole interactions.

Ruthenium-catalyzed formal sp<sup>3</sup> C-H activation of allylsilanes/esters with olefins: efficient access to functionalized 1,3-dienes.

Project description:Ru-catalysed oxidative coupling of allylsilanes and allyl esters with activated olefins has been developed via isomerization followed by C(allyl)-H activation providing efficient access to stereodefined 1,3-dienes in excellent yields. Mild reaction conditions, less expensive catalysts, and excellent regio- and diastereoselectivity ensure universality of the reaction. In addition, the unique power of this reaction was illustrated by performing the Diels-Alder reaction, and enantioselective synthesis of highly functionalized cyclohexenone and piperidine and finally synthetic utility was further demonstrated by the efficient synthesis of norpyrenophorin, an antifungal agent.

Alkyne hydroacylation: switching regioselectivity by tandem ruthenium catalysis.

Project description:By using tandem Ru-catalysis, internal alkynes can be coupled with aldehydes for the synthesis of ?,?-unsaturated ketones. The catalyst promotes alkyne transformations with high regioselectivity, with examples that include the differentiation of a methyl vs ethyl substituent on the alkyne. Mechanistic studies suggest that the regioselectivity results from a selective allene formation that is governed by allylic strain.

Ruthenium-catalyzed intermolecular alkene-alkyne couplings in biologically relevant media.

Project description:Cationic cyclopentadienyl Ru(ii) catalysts can efficiently promote mild intermolecular alkyne-alkene couplings in aqueous media, even in the presence of different biomolecular components, and in complex media like DMEM. The method can also be used for the derivatization of amino acids and peptides, therefore proposing a new way to label biomolecules with external tags. This C-C bond-forming reaction, based on simple alkene and alkyne reactants, can now be added to the toolbox of bioorthogonal reactions promoted by transition metal catalysts.

Complementary regioselectivity in the Cu(I)-catalyzed diamination of conjugated dienes to form cyclic sulfamides.

Project description:This paper describes the regioselective diamination of conjugated dienes using inexpensive Cu(I) as catalyst and N,N-di-tert-butylthiadiaziridine 1,1-dioxide as nitrogen source. The regioselectivity of diamination is likely due to dual mechanistic pathways which are greatly influenced by reaction conditions and the nature of the diene. A variety of useful internal and terminal cyclic sulfamides can be obtained in good yield.

Catalyst-controlled regioselectivity in the synthesis of branched conjugated dienes via aerobic oxidative Heck reactions.

Project description:Pd-catalyzed aerobic oxidative coupling of vinylboronic acids and electronically unbiased alkyl olefins provides regioselective access to 1,3-disubstituted conjugated dienes. Catalyst-controlled regioselectivity is achieved by using 2,9-dimethylphenanthroline as a ligand. The observed regioselectivity is opposite to that observed from a traditional (nonoxidative) Heck reaction between a vinyl bromide and an alkene. DFT computational studies reveal that steric effects of the 2,9-dimethylphenanthroline ligand promote C-C bond formation at the internal position of the alkene.
