Asymmetric Addition of Cyanide to ?-Nitroalkenes Catalysed by Chiral Salen Complexes of Titanium(IV) and Vanadium(V).

ABSTRACT: Structurally well-defined bimetallic titanium(IV) (salen) and monometallic vanadium(V) (salen) complexes have been used as catalysts for the asymmetric addition of trimethylsilyl cyanide to ?-nitroalkenes to produce chiral nitronitriles with ee values in the range of 79-89 % and conversions up to 100 % at 0 °C. The reaction conditions (solvent, temperature, time and vanadium complex counter-ion) were optimised, and it was shown that the catalyst loading could be significantly reduced (20 to 2 mol %) and the reaction temperature increased (-40 to 0 °C) compared to previous studies that used an in situ prepared catalyst. The results are compared and contrasted with previous results obtained by using the same catalysts for the asymmetric addition of trimethylsilyl cyanide to aldehydes, and a transition-state structure for the asymmetric addition of trimethylsilyl cyanide to nitroalkenes is proposed to account for the observed stereochemistry.

Asymmetric Conjugate Addition of ?,?-Disubstituted Aldehydes to Nitroalkenes Organocatalyzed by Chiral Monosalicylamides from trans-Cyclohexane-1,2-Diamines.

Project description:Primary amine-salicylamides derived from chiral trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamines are used as organocatalysts for the enantioselective conjugate addition of ?,?-disubstituted aldehydes to arylated and heteroarylated nitroalkenes. The reaction is performed in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine as an additive in dichloromethane as a solvent at room temperature. The corresponding enantioenriched ?-nitroaldehydes are obtained with enantioselectivities up to 95%. Theoretical calculations are used to justify the reasons of the stereoinduction.

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.

Kinetics and mechanism of vanadium catalysed asymmetric cyanohydrin synthesis in propylene carbonate.

Project description:Propylene carbonate can be used as a green solvent for the asymmetric synthesis of cyanohydrin trimethylsilyl ethers from aldehydes and trimethylsilyl cyanide catalysed by VO(salen)NCS, though reactions are slower in this solvent than the corresponding reactions carried out in dichloromethane. A mechanistic study has been undertaken, comparing the catalytic activity of VO(salen)NCS in propylene carbonate and dichloromethane. Reactions in both solvents obey overall second-order kinetics, the rate of reaction being dependent on the concentration of both the aldehyde and trimethylsilyl cyanide. The order with respect to VO(salen)NCS was determined and found to decrease from 1.2 in dichloromethane to 1.0 in propylene carbonate, indicating that in propylene carbonate, VO(salen)NCS is present only as a mononuclear species, whereas in dichloromethane dinuclear species are present which have previously been shown to be responsible for most of the catalytic activity. Evidence from ⁵¹V NMR spectroscopy suggested that propylene carbonate coordinates to VO(salen)NCS, blocking the free coordination site, thus inhibiting its Lewis acidity and accounting for the reduction in catalytic activity. This explanation was further supported by a Hammett analysis study, which indicated that Lewis base catalysis made a much greater contribution to the overall catalytic activity of VO(salen)NCS in propylene carbonate than in dichloromethane.

Direct asymmetric vinylogous Michael addition of cyclic enones to nitroalkenes via dienamine catalysis.

Project description:In spite of the many catalytic methodologies available for the asymmetric functionalization of carbonyl compounds at their ? and ? positions, little progress has been achieved in the enantioselective carbon-carbon bond formation ? to a carbonyl group. Here, we show that primary amine catalysis provides an efficient way to address this synthetic issue, promoting vinylogous nucleophilicity upon selective activation of unmodified cyclic ?,?-unsaturated ketones. Specifically, we document the development of the unprecedented direct and vinylogous Michael addition of ?-substituted cyclohexenone derivatives to nitroalkenes proceeding under dienamine catalysis. Besides enforcing high levels of diastereo- and enantioselectivity, chiral primary amine catalysts derived from natural cinchona alkaloids ensure complete ?-site selectivity: The resulting, highly functionalized vinylogous Michael adducts, having two stereocenters at the ? and ? positions, are synthesized with very high fidelity. Finally, we describe the extension of the dienamine catalysis-induced vinylogous nucleophilicity to the asymmetric ?-amination of cyclohexene carbaldehyde.

Chiral Lewis Base-Catalysed Asymmetric Syntheses of Benzo-fused ϵ-Lactones.

Project description:We herein report a two-step protocol for the asymmetric synthesis of novel chiral benzofused ϵ-lactones starting from O-protected hydroxymethyl-para-quinone methides and activated aryl esters. By using chiral isothiourea Lewis base catalysts a broad variety of differently substituted products could be obtained in yields of around 50 % over both steps with high levels of enantioselectivities, albeit low diastereoselectivities only.

The reactions are performed in deep eutectic solvents as reaction media at room temperature, leading to the corresponding adducts with enantioselectivities up to 88% (for maleimides) and 80% (for nitroalkenes).

Gold-catalysed asymmetric net addition of unactivated propargylic C-H bonds to tethered aldehydes.

Project description:The asymmetric one-step net addition of unactivated propargylic C-H bond to aldehyde leads to an atom-economic construction of versatile chiral propargylic alcohols but has not been realized previously. Here we show its implementation in an intramolecular manner under mild reaction conditions. Via cooperative gold catalysis enabled by a chiral bifunctional phosphine ligand, this chemistry achieves asymmetric catalytic deprotonation of propargylic C-H (pKa > 30) by a tertiary amine group (pKa ~ 10) of the ligand in the presence of much more acidic aldehydic α-hydrogens (pKa ~ 17). The reaction exhibits a broad scope and readily accommodates various functional groups. The 5-/6-membered ring fused homopropargylic alcohol products are formed with excellent enantiomeric excesses and high trans-selectivities with or without a preexisting substrate chiral center. DFT studies of the reaction support the conceived reaction mechanism and the calculated energetics corroborate the observed stereoselectivity and confirm an additional metal-ligand cooperation.

Diastereodivergent chiral aldehyde catalysis for asymmetric 1,6-conjugated addition and Mannich reactions.

Project description:Chiral aldehyde catalysis is a burgeoning strategy for the catalytic asymmetric α-functionalization of aminomethyl compounds. However, the reaction types are limited and to date include no examples of stereodivergent catalysis. In this work, we disclose two chiral aldehyde-catalysed diastereodivergent reactions: a 1,6-conjugate addition of amino acids to para-quinone methides and a bio-inspired Mannich reaction of pyridinylmethanamines and imines. Both the syn- and anti-products of these two reactions can be obtained in moderate to high yields, diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Four potential reaction models produced by DFT calculations are proposed to explain the observed stereoselective control. Our work shows that chiral aldehyde catalysis based on a reversible imine formation principle is applicable for the α-functionalization of both amino acids and aryl methylamines, and holds potential to promote a range of asymmetric transformations diastereoselectively.
