A computational study of base-catalyzed reactions of cyclic 1,2-diones: cyclobutane-1,2-dione.

ABSTRACT: The reaction of cyclobutane-1,2-dione with hydroxide was studied by a variety of ab initio (MP2, SCS-MP2, CCSD(T), CEPA/1) and density functional (M06-2X) methods. Three possible reaction paths of the initially formed tetrahedral adduct leading to either 1-hydroxycyclopropane-1-carboxylate (benzilic acid type rearrangement, path A), α-oxobutanoate (path B) or γ-oxobutanoate (path C) were considered. Although the latter two products show similar or even more negative Gibbs free energies of reaction than calculated for the benzilic acid type rearrangement, the Gibbs free energies of activation are substantially higher. According to the calculations, the only feasible reaction appears to be the formation of 1-hydroxycyclopropane-1-carboxylate, which is corroborated by previous experimental observations.

Enantioselective Michael Addition of Cyclic ?-Diones to ?,?-Unsaturated Enones Catalyzed by Quinine-Based Organocatalysts.

Project description:An enantioselective (52-98% ee) Michael addition between cyclic ?-diones and ?,?-unsaturated enones was established in the presence of quinine-based primary amine or squaramide. A variety of cinnamones were smoothly converted into the desired 3,4-dihydropyrans in moderate to high yields (63-99%). Chalcones were also suitable acceptors and gave rise to the expected adducts in satisfactory yields (31-99%). The resulting adducts readily underwent further modification to form fused 4H-pyran or 2,3-dihydrofuran.

1,2-Di-2-furylethane-1,2-dione.

Project description:The title compound, C(10)H(6)O(4), lies across a twofold rotation axis through the midpoint of the C-C bond between the two carbonyl groups. The furan ring plane and the plane through all atoms are inclined at 23.88?(1)°. In the crystal structure, weak C-H?O hydrogen bonds form sheets in the bc plane and columns down the c axis.

Enantioselective, Lewis Base-Catalyzed Carbosulfenylation of Alkenylboronates by 1,2-Boronate Migration.

Project description:A catalytic, enantioselective method for the preparation of chiral, non-racemic, alkylboronic esters bearing two vicinal stereogenic centers is described. The reaction proceeds via a 1,2-migration of a zwitterionic thiiranium-boronate complex to give exclusively anti carbosulfenylation products. A broad scope of aryl groups migrate with good yield and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99:1 e.r.). Similarly, a range of di- and trisubstituted alkenylboronic esters are competent reaction partners. This method provides access to both secondary and tertiary chiral alkylboronic esters.

One enzyme, many reactions: structural basis for the various reactions catalyzed by naphthalene 1,2-dioxygenase.

Project description:Rieske nonheme iron oxygenases (ROs) are a well studied class of enzymes. Naphthalene 1,2-dioxygenase (NDO) is used as a model to study ROs. Previous work has shown how side-on binding of oxygen to the mononuclear iron provides this enzyme with the ability to catalyze stereospecific and regiospecific cis-dihydroxylation reactions. It has been well documented that ROs catalyze a variety of other reactions, including mono-oxygenation, desaturation, O- and N-dealkylation, sulfoxidation etc. NDO itself catalyzes a variety of these reactions. Structures of NDO in complex with a number of different substrates show that the orientation of the substrate in the active site controls not only the regiospecificity and stereospecificity, but also the type of reaction catalyzed. It is proposed that the mononuclear iron-activated dioxygen attacks the atoms of the substrate that are most proximal to it. The promiscuity of delivering two products (apparently by two different reactions) from the same substrate can be explained by the possible binding of the substrate in slightly different orientations aided by the observed flexibility of residues in the binding pocket.

Asymmetric Palladium-Catalyzed Alkene Carboamination Reactions for the Synthesis of Cyclic Sulfamides.

Project description:The synthesis of cyclic sulfamides by enantioselective Pd-catalyzed alkene carboamination reactions between N-allylsulfamides and aryl or alkenyl bromides is described. High levels of asymmetric induction (up to 95:5 e.r.) are achieved using a catalyst composed of [Pd2 (dba)3 ] and (S)-Siphos-PE. Deuterium-labelling studies indicate the reactions proceed through syn-aminopalladation of the alkene and suggest that the control of syn- versus anti-aminopalladation pathways is important for asymmetric induction.

Photoredox-Catalyzed Giese Reactions: Decarboxylative Additions to Cyclic Vinylogous Amides and Esters.

Project description:An effective strategy has been developed for the photoredox-catalyzed decarboxylative addition of cyclic amino acids to both vinylogous amides and esters leading to uniquely substituted heterocycles. The additions take place exclusively trans to the substituent present on the dihydropyridone ring affording stereochemical control about the new carbon-carbon bond. These reactions are operationally simplistic and afford the desired products in good to excellent isolated yields.

Pyrrolidine catalyzed reactions of cyclopentadiene with ?,?-unsaturated carbonyl compounds: 1,2- versus 1,4-additions.

Project description:A systematic study of the reactions of cyclopentadiene with ?,?-unsaturated carbonyl compounds in the presence of catalytic pyrrolidine-H2O revealed that the reactions can either proceed with a Michael attack at the ?-carbon of enone, or 1,2-addition to the carbonyl, leadingeither to 4-cyclopentadienyl-2-butanones or 6-vinylfulvenes. The former can be isolated and/or converted to the corresponding 1,2-dihydropentalenes with base (or in one-pot at longer reaction times). Substitution pattern on the enones on the competing pathways have been studied and consistent mechanisms are proposed.

Femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy of the cyclobutane thymine dimer repair mechanism: a computational study.

Project description:Cyclobutane thymine dimer, one of the major lesions in DNA formed by exposure to UV sunlight, is repaired in a photoreactivation process, which is essential to maintain life. The molecular mechanism of the central step, i.e., intradimer C-C bond splitting, still remains an open question. In a simulation study, we demonstrate how the time evolution of characteristic marker bands (C?O and C?C/C-C stretch vibrations) of cyclobutane thymine dimer and thymine dinucleotide radical anion, thymidylyl(3'?5')thymidine, can be directly probed with femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS). We construct a DFT(M05-2X) potential energy surface with two minor barriers for the intradimer C?-C?' splitting and a main barrier for the C?-C?' splitting, and identify the appearance of two C??C? stretch vibrations due to the C?-C?' splitting as a spectroscopic signature of the underlying bond splitting mechanism. The sequential mechanism shows only absorptive features in the simulated FSRS signals, whereas the fast concerted mechanism shows characteristic dispersive line shapes.

A Computational Study of the Origin of Stereoinduction in NHC-Catalyzed Annulation Reactions of ?,?-Unsaturated Acyl Azoliums.

Project description:The origin of stereoselectivity of NHC-catalyzed annulation reactions of ynals and stable enols was studied with Density Functional Theory. The data suggest that the C-C bond formation is the stereo-determining step. Only the deprotonated pathway (containing an oxy anion and overall neutral species) was found to give rise to discrimination of the competing stereoisomers. This is due predominantly to electrostatic repulsion of the ?-stabilizing enolate functionality with the ?-cloud of the aryl group in the NHC-catalyst.

(E)-1,2-Bis(4-fluoro-phen-yl)ethane-1,2-dione.

Project description:The title compound, C(14)H(8)F(2)O(2), is a substituted benzil with an s-trans conformation of the dicarbonyl unit. This conformation is also shown by the O-C-C-O torsion angle of -110.65?(12)°. An unusual feature of the structure is the length, 1.536?(2)?Å, of the central C-C bond connecting the carbonyl units, which is significantly longer than a normal Csp(2)-Csp(2) single bond. This is probably the result of decreasing the unfavourable vicinal dipole-dipole inter-actions by increasing the distance between the two electronegative O atoms [O?O = 3.1867?(12)?Å] and allowing orbital overlap of the dione with the ? system of the benzene rings. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 64.74?(5)°. In the crystal structure, neighbouring mol-ecules are linked together by weak inter-molecular C-H?O (× 2) hydrogen bonds. In addition, the crystal structure is further stabilized by inter-molecular ?-? inter-actions with centroid-centroid distances in the range 3.6416?(6)-3.7150?(7)?Å.
