Azaaldol condensation of a lithium enolate solvated by N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine: dimer-based 1,2-addition to imines.

ABSTRACT: The lithium enolate of tert-amylacetate solvated by N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) is shown to be a doubly chelated dimer. Adding the dimeric enolate to 4-fluorobenzaldehyde-N-phenylimine affords an N-lithiated ?-amino ester shown to be monomeric using (6)Li and (15)N NMR spectroscopies. Rate studies using (19)F NMR spectroscopy reveal reaction orders consistent with a transition structure of stoichiometry [(ROLi)2(TMEDA)2(imine)](‡). Density functional theory computations explore several possible dimer-based transition structures with monodentate and bidentate coordination of TMEDA. Supporting rate studies using trans-N,N,N',N'-1,2-tetramethylcyclohexanediamine showing analogous rates and rate law suggest that TMEDA is fully chelated.

Broad Spectrum Enolate Equivalent for Catalytic Chemo-, Diastereo-, and Enantioselective Addition to N-Boc Imines.

Project description:Alkynyl ketones are attractive but challenging nucleophiles in enolate chemistry. Their susceptibility to other reactions such as Michael additions and the difficulty of controlling the enolate geometry make them difficult substrates. Mannich-type reactions, which previously have not been reported using N-carbamoyl-imines with simple ketone enolates, became our objective. In this report, we describe the first direct catalytic Mannich-type reaction between various ynones and N-Boc imines, whose stereocontrol presumably derives from catalyst control of enolate geometry. This method produces ?-substituted ?-amino ynones with excellent chemo-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity. The products can be readily transformed into a broad range of molecular scaffolds upon further one-step transformations, demonstrating the utility of ynones as masked synthetic equivalents for a variety of unsymmetrically substituted acyclic ketones. In particular, alkynyl alkyl ketones resolve the long-standing problem of the inability to use the enolates of unsymmetrical dialkyl ketones lacking ?-branching for regio- and stereoselective reactions.

Lithium Amino Alkoxide-Evans Enolate Mixed Aggregates: Aldol Addition with Matched and Mismatched Stereocontrol.

Project description:Building on structural and mechanistic studies of lithiated enolates derived from acylated oxazolidinones (Evans enolates) and chiral lithiated amino alkoxides, we found that amino alkoxides amplify the enantioselectivity of aldol additions. The pairing of enantiomeric series affords matched and mismatched stereoselectivities. The structures of mixed tetramers showing 2:2 and 3:1 (alkoxide-rich) stoichiometries are determined spectroscopically. Rate and computational studies provide a viable mechanistic and stereochemical model based on the direct reaction of the 3:1 mixed tetramers, but they raise unanswered questions for the 2:2 mixed aggregates.

Lithium phenolates solvated by tetrahydrofuran and 1,2-dimethoxyethane: structure determination using the method of continuous variation.

Project description:The method of continuous variation in conjunction with (6)Li NMR spectroscopy was used to characterize lithium phenolates solvated by tetrahydrofuran and 1,2-dimethoxyethane. The strategy relies on the formation of ensembles of homo- and heteroaggregated phenolates. The symmetries and concentration dependencies of the heteroaggregates attest to the aggregation numbers of the homoaggregates. The structurally diverse phenols afford substrate- and solvent-dependent combinations of lithium phenolate monomers, dimers, trimers, tetramers, and pentamers. We discuss the refinement of protocols for characterizing O-lithiated species. Computational studies examine further the substituent and solvent dependencies of aggregation.

Lithium ions solvated in helium.

Project description:We report on a combined experimental and theoretical study of Li+ ions solvated by up to 50 He atoms. The experiments show clear enhanced abundances associated with HenLi+ clusters where n = 2, 6, 8, and 14. We find that classical methods, e.g. basin-hopping (BH), give results that qualitatively agree with quantum mechanical methods such as path integral Monte Carlo, diffusion Monte Carlo and quantum free energy, regarding both energies and the solvation structures that are formed. The theory identifies particularly stable structures for n = 4, 6 and 8 which line up with some of the most abundant features in the experiments.

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.

Selective acceleration of disfavored enolate addition reactions by anion-π interactions.

Project description:In chemistry and biology, cation-π interactions contribute significantly to many important transformations. In sharp contrast, reactions accomplished with support from the complementary anion-π interactions are essentially unknown. In this report, we show that anion-π interactions can determine the selectivity of the enolate chemistry of malonate half thioesters. Their addition to enolate acceptors is central in natural product biosynthesis but fails without enzymes because non-productive decarboxylation dominates. The newly designed and synthesized anion-π tweezers invert this selectivity by accelerating the disfavored and decelerating the favored process. The discrimination of anionic tautomers of different planarization and charge delocalization on π-acidic surfaces is expected to account for this intriguing "tortoise-and-hare catalysis." Almost exponentially increasing selectivity with increasing π acidity of the catalyst supports that contributions from anion-π interactions are decisive.

Vanadium-catalyzed addition of propargyl alcohols and imines.

Project description:A Mannich-type addition of propargylic alcohols and N-methoxycarbonylimines has been achieved by using a vanadium catalyst. The reactivity of the vanadium catalyst could be modulated by modifying the silanol ligands to avoid the background reaction. The strategy described herein provides an atom-economical access to beta-aryl-substituted Z-enones with an allylic amino functional group, which are not readily accessible with other methods.

Project description:A Cu(I)-catalyzed direct addition of alkynes to imines was developed. The process is simple and provides a diverse range of propargylamines in high enantiomeric excess and good yield both in water and in toluene. The absolute configuration of such addition products has been determined by x-ray crystallography.

Construction of highly functionalized carbazoles via condensation of an enolate to a nitro group.

Project description:This paper describes a novel synthesis of highly functionalized and diverse carbazoles via transition-metal-free and mild base-promoted condensations of readily available 2-nitrocinnamaldehyde or 2-nitrochalcones with various ?-ketoesters or 1,3-diaryl-2-propanones. The method selectively forms four bonds by the intramolecular conjugate addition of an enolate to the enal or chalcone bearing an o-nitro group. This group then undergoes in situ N-O bond cleavage under non-reductive conditions in a one-pot procedure. This protocol allows for the introduction of various functional groups at all positions of the newly formed aromatic ring of the carbazole moiety. The utility of this methodology is further illustrated by the concise synthesis of naturally occurring hyellazole and chlorohyellazole.

Branch-Selective Addition of Unactivated Olefins into Imines and Aldehydes.

Project description:Radical hydrofunctionalization occurs with ease using metal-hydride hydrogen atom transfer (MHAT) catalysis to couple alkenes and competent radicalophilic electrophiles. Traditional two-electron electrophiles have remained unreactive. Herein we report the reductive coupling of electronically unbiased olefins with imines and aldehydes. Iron catalysis allows addition of alkyl-substituted olefins into imines through the intermediacy of free radicals, whereas a combination of catalytic Co(Sal t-Bu, t-Bu) and chromium salts enables a branch-selective coupling of olefins and aldehydes through the formation of a putative alkyl chromium intermediate.
