Synthesis and ring openings of cinnamate-derived N-unfunctionalised aziridines.

ABSTRACT: tert-Butyl cinnamates are aziridinated with high trans-selectivity by an N-N ylide generated in situ from N-methylmorpholine and O-diphenylphosphinyl hydroxylamine. The resulting N-unfunctionalised aziridines are shown to be versatile synthetic building blocks that undergo highly selective ring-opening reactions with a wide range of nucleophiles.

Synthesis of ?-substituted tryptamines by regioselective ring opening of aziridines.

Project description:Functionalized tryptamines are targets of interest for development as small molecule therapeutics. The ring opening of aziridines with indoles is a powerful method for tryptamine synthesis if site selectivity can be controlled. 4-Nitrobenzyl carbamate (PNZ)-protected aziridines undergo regioselective ring opening to produce ?-substituted tryptamines for a series of indoles. The PNZ-protected tryptamines can be further manipulated by PNZ removal under mild conditions.

Stereospecific ring expansion of chiral vinyl aziridines.

Project description:In this report, it is demonstrated that chiral vinyl aziridines can be stereospecifically ring expanded. This synthetic approach allows controlled access to chiral 2,5-cis- or 2,5-trans-3-pyrroline products from starting materials with the appropriate aziridine geometry. Twenty three ring expansion examples, most of which feature a stereospecific cyclization, are presented.

Scalable Synthesis of Orthogonally Protected β-Methyllanthionines by Indium(III)-Mediated Ring Opening of Aziridines.

Project description:Lantibiotics are a class of peptide antibiotics with activity against most Gram-positive bacteria. Lanthionine (Lan) and β-MeLan are unusual thioether-bridged, non-proteinogenic amino acids, which are characteristic features of lantibiotics. In this paper, we report the facile stereoselective synthesis of β-methyllanthionines with orthogonal protection by nucleophilic ring opening of aziridines. This method leads to an expedient access to β-methyllanthionines and allows production of over 30 g of β-methyllanthionine in a single batch.

How Lewis Acids Catalyze Ring-Openings of Cyclohexene Oxide.

Project description:We have quantum chemically studied the Lewis acid-catalyzed epoxide ring-opening reaction of cyclohexene epoxide by MeZH (Z = O, S, and NH) using relativistic dispersion-corrected density functional theory. We found that the reaction barrier of the Lewis acid-catalyzed epoxide ring-opening reactions decreases upon ascending in group 1 along the series Cs+ > Rb+ > K+ > Na+ > Li+ > H+. Our activation strain and Kohn-Sham molecular orbital analyses reveal that the enhanced reactivity of the Lewis acid-catalyzed ring-opening reaction is caused by the reduced steric (Pauli) repulsion between the filled orbitals of the epoxide and the nucleophile, as the Lewis acid polarizes the filled orbitals of the epoxide more efficiently away from the incoming nucleophile. Furthermore, we established that the regioselectivity of these ring-opening reactions is, aside from the "classical" strain control, also dictated by a hitherto unknown mechanism, namely, the steric (Pauli) repulsion between the nucleophile and the substrate, which could be traced back to the asymmetric orbital density on the epoxide. In all, this work again demonstrates that the concept of Pauli-lowering catalysis is a general phenomenon.

Efficient synthesis of ethyl 2-(oxazolin-2-yl)alkanoates via ethoxycarbonylketene-induced electrophilic ring expansion of aziridines.

Project description:Alkyl 2-diazo-3-oxoalkanoates generate alkoxycarbonylketenes, which undergo an electrophilic ring expansion with aziridines to afford alkyl 2-(oxazolin-2-yl)alkanoates in good to excellent yields under microwave heating. The method is a convenient and clean reaction without any activators and catalysts and can be also applied in the synthesis of 2-(oxazolin-2-yl)alkanamides and 1-(oxazolin-2-yl)alkylphosphonates.

Preparation and ring-opening reactions of N-diphenylphosphinyl vinyl aziridines.

Project description:Predominantly (E)-N-diphenylphosphinyl vinyl aziridines are prepared by a reaction of N-diphenylphosphinyl imines with ?-bromoallyllithium in the presence of freshly fused ZnCl2. These aziridines undergo a ring-opening reaction with a variety of carbon and heteronucleophiles, in good yield, and generally with good regioselectivity.

Copper-Catalyzed Ring-Opening Reactions of Alkyl Aziridines with B2pin2: Experimental and Computational Studies.

Project description:The possibility to form new C-B bonds with aziridines using diboron derivatives continues to be a particularly challenging field in view of the direct preparation of functionalized β-aminoboronates, which are important compounds in drug discovery, being a bioisostere of β-aminoacids. We now report experimental and computational data that allows the individuation of the structural requisites and of reaction conditions necessary to open alkyl aziridines using bis(pinacolate)diboron (B2pin2) in a regioselective nucleophilic addition reaction under copper catalysis.
