Zinc-gold cooperative catalysis for the direct alkynylation of benzofurans.

ABSTRACT: The direct alkynylation of benzofurans was achieved for the first time using the hypervalent iodine reagent 1-[(triisopropylsilyl)ethynyl]-1,2-benziodoxol-3(1H)-one (TIPS-EBX) based on the cooperative effect between a gold catalyst and a zinc Lewis acid. High selectivity was observed for C2-alkynylation of benzofurans substituted with alkyl, aryl, halogen and ether groups. The reaction was also successful in the case of the more complex drug 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP).

Au-Ag Bimetallic Catalysis: 3-Alkynyl Benzofurans from Phenols via Tandem C-H Alkynylation/Oxy-Alkynylation.

Project description:The development of new methodologies enabling a facile access to valuable heterocyclic frameworks still is an important subject of research. In this context, we describe a dual catalytic cycle merging C-H alkynylation of phenols and oxy-alkynylation of the newly introduced triple bond by using a unique redox property and the carbophilic π acidity of gold. Mechanistic studies support the participation of a bimetallic gold-silver species. The one-pot protocol offers a direct, simple, and regio-specific approach to 3-alkynyl benzofurans from readily available phenols. A broad range of substrates, including heterocycles, is transferred with excellent functional group tolerance. Thus, this methodology can be used for the late-stage incorporation of benzofurans.

Gold-catalyzed direct alkynylation of tryptophan in peptides using TIPS-EBX.

Project description:The selective functionalization of peptides containing only natural amino acids is important for the modification of biomolecules. In particular, the installation of an alkyne as a useful handle for bioconjugation is highly attractive, but the use of a carbon linker is usually required. Herein, we report the gold-catalyzed direct alkynylation of tryptophan in peptides using the hypervalent iodine reagent TIPS-EBX (1-[(triisopropylsilyl)ethynyl]-1,2-benziodoxol-3(1H)-one). The reaction proceeded in 50-78% yield under mild conditions and could be applied to peptides containing other nucleophilic and aromatic amino acids, such as serine, phenylalanine or tyrosine.

Regio- and enantioselective hydroamination of dienes by gold(I)/menthol cooperative catalysis.

Project description:Alcohol is key: regio- and enantioselective hydroamination of 1,3-dienes has been achieved with the dinuclear catalyst (R)-DTBM-SEGPHOS. The rate and selectivity of the reaction are enhanced by alcohol additives like menthol, which coordinates the cationic gold(I) to generate a Brønsted acid that can participate in catalysis. Mbs=p-methoxybenzenesulfonyl.

Cooperative catalysis of cellulose nanofiber and organocatalyst in direct aldol reactions.

Project description:Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) are finding a wide range of applications in the forthcoming sustainable society because of their carbon-neutral renewability and superior physicochemical properties. Here, we first show a cooperative organocatalysis by combining TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofiber (TOCN) and proline to enhance the catalytic efficiency in a direct aldol reaction. The yields of proline-catalyzed aldol products drastically increased in the presence of catalytically-inactive TOCN. This effect was also achieved by simply adding the TOCN to the reaction conditions where various proline analogues including structurally simple pyrrolidine and piperidine were used instead of proline. TOCN was superior to physically-pulverized CNF in the organocatalytic efficiency, and the nanofibrillation of cellulose microfibrils in reaction media was essential to induce the drastic enhancement in catalytic activity. The present finding will bring a new entry in the applications of CNFs, and open up a new phase in developing highly efficient molecular transformations in green chemical industries.

Enantio- and Diastereoselective, Complete Hydrogenation of Benzofurans by Cascade Catalysis.

Project description:We report an enantio- and diastereoselective, complete hydrogenation of multiply substituted benzofurans in a one-pot cascade catalysis. The developed protocol facilitates the controlled installation of up to six new defined stereocenters and produces architecturally complex octahydrobenzofurans, prevalent in many bioactive molecules. A unique match of a chiral homogeneous ruthenium-N-heterocyclic carbene complex and an in situ activated rhodium catalyst from a complex precursor act in sequence to enable the presented process.

Direct Vicinal Difunctionalization of Thiophenes Enabled by the Palladium/Norbornene Cooperative Catalysis.

Project description:Herein we report a direct vicinal difunctionalization of thiophenes via the palladium/norbornene (Pd/NBE) cooperative catalysis. A series of mono- and disubstituted thiophenes can be difunctionalized site-selectively and regioselectively at the C4 and C5 positions in good yields, enabled by an arsine ligand and a unique amide-based NBE. The synthetic utility has been shown in derivatizations of complex bioactive compounds and an open-flask gram-scale preparation. Preliminary results have been obtained in the difunctionalization of furans and a direct C4-selective arylation of 2-substituted thiophenes.

Direct Evidence for the Origin of Bis-Gold Intermediates: Probing Gold Catalysis with Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Gold-catalyzed alkyne hydration was studied by using in situ reacting mass spectrometry (MS) technology. By monitoring the reaction process in solution under different conditions (regular and very diluted catalyst concentrations, different pH values) and examining the reaction occurrence in the early reaction stage (1-2?ms after mixing) with MS, we collected a series of experimental evidence to support that the bis-gold complex is a potential key reaction intermediate. Furthermore, both experimental and computational studies confirmed that the ?,?-bis-gold complexes are not active intermediates toward nucleophilic addition. Instead, formation of geminally diaurated complex C is crucial for this catalytic process.

Direct alkylation of heteroarenes with unactivated bromoalkanes using photoredox gold catalysis.

Project description:Although visible light photoredox catalysis has emerged as a powerful tool for the construction of C-C bonds, common catalysts and/or their photoexcited states suffer from low redox potentials, limiting their applicability to alkyl radical generation from substrates with activated carbon-halogen bonds. Radicals derived from these activated compounds, being highly electrophilic or stabilized, do not undergo efficient addition to heteroarenes. Herein we describe the photocatalytic generation of nucleophilic alkyl radicals from unactivated bromoalkanes as part of a universal and efficient cross-coupling strategy for the direct alkylation of heteroarenes using a dimeric gold(i) photoredox catalyst, [Au2(bis(diphenylphosphino)methane)2]Cl2. The method proves to be efficient for alkylation of arenes under mild conditions in the absence of directing groups.

Diastereoselective, Zinc-Catalyzed Alkynylation of ?-Bromo Oxocarbenium Ions.

Project description:We have developed a bromination/alkynylation sequence that enables efficient transformation of simple cyclic enol ethers to difunctionalized products. The success of this strategy relies on a highly diastereselective, zinc-catalyzed addition of terminal alkynes to ?-bromo oxocarbenium ions, formed in situ via ionization of acetal precursors. Using this method, trans-?-alkynyl-?-halo pyran and furan derivatives can be prepared with high diastereoselectivity and excellent functional group tolerance.

Direct asymmetric Michael addition to nitroalkenes: vinylogous nucleophilicity under dinuclear zinc catalysis.

Project description:Under dinuclear catalysis, the direct conjugate addition of 2(5H)-furanone to nitroalkenes involves the gamma-position of the nucleophile. The synthetically versatile Michael adducts are prepared in good yields, with high levels of diastereo- and enantioselectivity. A model is presented to rationalize the observed stereoselectivity.
