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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Lewis acid-catalyzed asymmetric reactions of β,γ-unsaturated 2-acyl imidazoles.

Project description:The investigation of diverse reactivity of β,γ-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is of great value in asymmetric catalytic synthesis. Numerous enantioselective transformations have been well developed with β,γ-unsaturated carbonyl compounds as nucleophiles, however, few example were realized by utilizing them as not only nucleophiles but also electrophiles under a same catalytic system. Here we report a regioselective catalytic asymmetric tandem isomerization/α-Michael addition of β,γ-unsaturated 2-acyl imidazoles in the presence of chiral N,N'-dioxide metal complexes, delivering a broad range of optically pure 1,5-dicarbonyl compounds with two vicinal tertiary carbon stereocenters in up to >99% ee under mild conditions. Meanwhile, stereodivergent synthesis is disclosed to yield all four stereoisomers of products. Control experiments suggest an isomerization process involved in the reaction and give an insight into the role of NEt3. In addition, Mannich reaction and sulfur-Michael addition of β,γ-unsaturated 2-acyl imidazoles proceed smoothly as well under the same catalytic system.

Chiral NHC-catalyzed oxodiene Diels-Alder reactions with alpha-chloroaldehyde bisulfite salts.

Project description:Alpha-chloroaldehyde bisulfite adducts were successfully employed in chiral NHC-catalyzed hetero-Diels-Alder reactions with various oxodienes under biphasic reaction conditions with high levels of enantioselectivity. This new protocol makes possible enantioselective additions from commercially available chloroacetaldehyde sodium bisulfite and demonstrates that this unique class of catalysts readily tolerates aqueous conditions.

Project description:Add acetic acid: A highly stereoselective N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed formal [4+2] annulation between ?,?-unsaturated aldehydes and imidazolidinones for the synthesis of imidazoles has been developed. Acetic acid serves as a key additive to achieve high chemoselectivity for the formal [4+2]?annulation product.

In the presence of a dipeptide phosphine catalyst, a wide range of highly functionalized cyclopentenes bearing an all-carbon quaternary center were obtained in moderate to good yields and with good to excellent enantioselectivities.

Alpha'-hydroxyenones as mechanistic probes and scope-expanding surrogates for alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes in N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed reactions.

Project description:N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed reactions of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes and a variety of electrophiles allow the facile preparation of a diverse array of annulation products including trisubstituted cyclopentenes, gamma-lactams, and bicyclic beta-lactams. The substrate scope of these reactions, however, is limited by the difficulties of preparing the starting alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes. We now report that alpha'-hydroxyenones, which can be prepared in a single convenient step from aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes, can serve as efficient surrogates for enals in the annulation reactions. This protocol allows the facile preparation and use of substrates bearing nitrogen heterocycles. These reagents have also allowed us to demonstrate that, in contrast to other classes of aldehydes, the formation of the Breslow intermediate from enals and N-heterocyclic carbenes is irreversible under the reaction conditions.

This procedure presents the first original approach for synthesizing chiral functionalized flavonoids at the 3-position, containing an all-carbon quaternary stereogenic center. This advancement significantly enriches the chemical toolbox for the preparation of complex nitrogen-containing compounds and opens up new avenues for further research and development in synthetic organic chemistry.

Mechanism of NHC-Catalyzed Conjugate Additions of Diboron and Borosilane Reagents to ?,?-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds.

Project description:Broadly applicable enantioselective C-B and C-Si bond-forming processes catalyzed by an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) were recently introduced; these boryl and silyl conjugate addition reactions (BCA and SCA, respectively), which proceed without the need for a transition-metal complex, represent reaction pathways that are distinct from those facilitated by transition-metal-containing species (e.g., Cu, Ni, Pt, Pd, or Rh based). The Lewis-base-catalyzed (NHC) transformations are valuable to chemical synthesis, as they can generate high enantioselectivities and possess unique chemoselectivity profiles. Here, the results of investigations that elucidate the principal features of the NHC-catalyzed BCA and SCA processes are detailed. Spectroscopic evidence is provided illustrating why the presence of excess base and MeOH or H2O is required for efficient and enantioselective boryl and silyl addition reactions. It is demonstrated that the proton sources influence the efficiency and/or enantioselectivity of NHC-catalyzed enantioselective transformations in several ways. The positive, and at times adverse, impact of water (biphasic conditions) on catalytic enantioselective silyl addition reactions is analyzed. It is shown that a proton source can facilitate nonenantioselective background reactions and NHC decomposition, requiring the catalyst to surpass such complications. Stereochemical models are presented that account for the identity of the observed major enantiomers, providing a rationale for the differences in selectivity profiles of BCA and SCA processes.
