Asymmetric synthesis of trifluoromethylated amines via catalytic enantioselective isomerization of imines.

ABSTRACT: A new approach toward the asymmetric synthesis of optically active trifluoromethylated amines was enabled by an unprecedented, highly enantioselective catalytic isomerization of trifluoromethyl imines with a new chiral organic catalyst. Not only aryl but also alkyl trifluoromethylated amines could be obtained in high enantioselectivities.

Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis of Trifluoromethylated ?-Amino Acids through the Umpolung Addition of Trifluoromethyl Imines to Carboxylic Acid Derivatives.

Project description:Novel cinchona alkaloid derived chiral phase-transfer catalysts enabled the highly chemo-, regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective umpolung addition of trifluoromethyl imines to ?,?-unsaturated N-acyl pyrroles. With a catalyst loading ranging from 0.2 to 5.0?mol?%, this new catalytic asymmetric transformation provides facile and high-yielding access to highly enantiomerically enriched chiral trifluoromethylated ?-amino acids and ?-lactams.

Direct Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis of Trifluoromethylated γ-Amino Esters/Lactones via Umpolung Strategy.

Project description:Enabled by the discovery of new cinchonium salts and coadditives, a direct and efficient asymmetric access to trifluoromethylated γ-amino esters/lactones has been realized through the enantioselective and diastereoselective umpolung reaction of trifluoromethyl imines with acrylates or α,β-unsaturated lactones as carbon electrophiles. At 0.5-5.0 mol % catalyst loadings, the newly developed catalytic system activates a variety of imine substrates as unconventional nucleophiles to mediate highly chemo-, regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective C-C bond forming reactions. The developed synthetic protocol represents an excellent strategy to target a series of versatile and enantiomerically enriched γ-amino esters/lactones in good to excellent yields from the readily available starting materials. Additionally, we found that the epi-vinyl catalysts based on cinchonidine and quinine promote a similarly high enantioselective reaction generating the opposite configuration of chiral products in a highly efficient manner, which allows convenient access to either the R- or S-enantiomer of the chiral amine products in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities.

Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis of Chiral γ-Amino Ketones via Umpolung Reactions of Imines.

Project description:The first direct catalytic asymmetric synthesis of γ-amino ketones was realized by the development of a highly diastereoselective and enantioselective C-C bond-forming umpolung reaction of imines and enones under the catalysis of a new cinchona alkaloid-derived phase-transfer catalyst. In a loading ranging from 0.02 to 2.5 mol %, the catalyst activates a broad range of trifluoromethyl imines and aldimines as nucleophiles to engage in chemo-, regio-, diastereo- and enantioselective C-C bond-forming reactions with acyclic and cyclic enones, thereby converting these readily available prochiral starting materials into highly enantiomerically enriched chiral γ-amino ketones in synthetically useful yields. Enabled by this unprecedented umpolung reaction of imines, conceptually new and concise routes were developed for the asymmetric synthesis of nitrogen-heterocycles such as pyrrolidines and indolizidines.

Catalytic asymmetric synthesis using feedstocks: an enantioselective route to 2-arylpropionic acids and 1-arylethyl amines via hydrovinylation of vinyl arenes.

Project description:A three-step procedure for the synthesis of 2-arylpropionic acids (profens) from vinyl arenes in nearly enantiomerically pure form has been developed. Excellent yields (>97%), regioselectivities (>99%), and enantioselectivities (>97% ee) for the desired branched products were obtained in the asymmetric hydrovinylation reactions of vinyl arenes, and the products from these reactions were transformed into 2-arylpropionic acids via oxidative degradation. Subsequent Curtius or Schmidt rearrangements of these acids provided highly valued 1-arylethyl amines, including a prototypical primary amine with an alpha-chiral tertiary N-alkyl group, in very good yields.

Asymmetric synthesis of ?-alkenyl homoallylic primary amines via 1,2-addition of Grignard reagent to ?,?-unsaturated phosphonyl imines.

Project description:A series of chiral N-phosphonyl protected ?-alkenyl homoallylic primary amines were synthesized by asymmetric addition of allylmagnesium bromide Grignard reagent towards chiral ?,?-unsaturated imines. Only 1,2-adduct was obtained for all the imines with good yields and excellent diastereoselectivities. The chiral auxiliary could be easily removed under simple conditions, giving free multiple functionalized primary amines.

Catalytic asymmetric umpolung reactions of imines.

Project description:The carbon-nitrogen double bonds in imines are fundamentally important functional groups in organic chemistry. This is largely due to the fact that imines act as electrophiles towards carbon nucleophiles in reactions that form carbon-carbon bonds, thereby serving as one of the most widely used precursors for the formation of amines in both synthetic and biosynthetic settings. If the carbon atom of the imine could be rendered electron-rich, the imine could react as a nucleophile instead of as an electrophile. Such a reversal in the electronic characteristics of the imine functionality would facilitate the development of new chemical transformations that convert imines into amines via carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions with carbon electrophiles, thereby creating new opportunities for the efficient synthesis of amines. The development of asymmetric umpolung reactions of imines (in which the imines act as nucleophiles) remains uncharted territory, in spite of the far-reaching impact such reactions would have in organic synthesis. Here we report the discovery and development of new chiral phase-transfer catalysts that promote the highly efficient asymmetric umpolung reactions of imines with the carbon electrophile enals. These catalysts mediate the deprotonation of imines and direct the 2-azaallyl anions thus formed to react with enals in a highly chemoselective, regioselective, diastereoselective and enantioselective fashion. The reaction tolerates a broad range of imines and enals, and can be carried out in high yield with as little as 0.01 mole per cent catalyst with a moisture- and air-tolerant operational protocol. These umpolung reactions provide a conceptually new and practical approach to chiral amino compounds.

Catalytic enantioselective synthesis of fluoromethylated stereocenters by asymmetric hydrogenation.

Project description:Fluoromethyl groups possess specific steric and electronic properties and serve as a bioisostere of alcohol, thiol, nitro, and other functional groups, which are important in an assortment of molecular recognition processes. Herein we report a catalytic method for the asymmetric synthesis of a variety of enantioenriched products bearing fluoromethylated stereocenters with excellent yields and enantioselectivities. Various N,P-ligands were designed and applied in the hydrogenation of fluoromethylated olefins and vinyl fluorides.

Enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed isomerization of 4-iminocrotonates: asymmetric synthesis of a unique chiral synthon.

Project description:An enantioselective isomerization of 4-iminocrotonates catalyzed by a rhodium(I)/phosphoramidite complex is described. This reaction uses widely available amines to couple with 4-oxocrotonate to provide a convenient access to a central chiral building block in good yield and high enantioselectivity. Although the mechanism of this new transformation remains unclear, both Rh and the phosphoramidite play a central role.
