Controlling Selectivity for Cycloadditions of Nitrones and Alkenes Tethered by Benzimidazoles: Combining Experiment and Theory.

ABSTRACT: Herein we describe a combined experimental/theoretical study on the effects of substituents on regio- and stereoselectivity in intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of nitrones and alkenes tethered by benzimidazoles. By employing a large substituent at position R2 or R3, complete selectivity was achieved for either the fused or bridged cycloadduct, respectively. In addition, these cycloadducts were formed as single diastereomers in all of the cycloadditions examined.

Stereoselectivities and regioselectivities of (4 + 3) cycloadditions between allenamide-derived chiral oxazolidinone-stabilized oxyallyls and furans: experiment and theory.

Project description:A systematic investigation of the regioselectivities and stereoselectivities of (4 + 3) cycloadditions between unsymmetrical furans and a chiral oxazolidinone-substituted oxyallyl is presented. Cycloadditions were performed using an oxyallyl containing a (R)-4-phenyl-2-oxazolidinone auxiliary (2(Ph)), under either thermal or ZnCl(2)-catalyzed conditions. Reactions of 2(Ph) with 2-substituted furans gave syn cycloadducts selectively, while cycloadditions with 3-substituted furans gave selectively anti cycloadducts. The stereoselectivities were in favor of a single diastereoisomer (I) in all but one case (2-CO(2)R). Density functional theory calculations were performed to explain the selectivities. The results support a mechanism in which all cycloadducts are formed from the E isomer of the oxyallyl (in which the oxazolidinone C?O and oxyallyl oxygen are anti to each other) or the corresponding (E)-ZnCl(2) complex. The major diastereomer is derived from addition of the furan to the more crowded face of the oxyallyl. Crowded transition states are favored because they possess a stabilizing CH-? interaction between the furan and the Ph group.

Intramolecular Chirality Transfer [2 + 2] Cycloadditions of Allenoates and Alkenes.

Project description:Intramolecular chirality transfer [2 + 2] cycloaddition of enantiomerically enriched allenoates and alkenes is presented. The use of a chiral catalyst was found to be critical to achieve high levels of diastereoselectivity compared to use of an achiral catalyst. The method developed leads to highly substituted cyclobutanes that would be difficult to prepare by alternative methods.

Au-Catalyzed Intermolecular [2+2] Cycloadditions between Chloroalkynes and Unactivated Alkenes.

Project description:The [2+2] cycloaddition is a versatile strategy for the synthesis of strained cyclobutenes of high synthetic value. In this study, two efficient intermolecular [2+2] cycloadditions between two different types of chloroalkynes and unactivated alkene are realized with gold catalysis. Of significance is that the reaction works with challenging monosubstituted unactivated alkenes, which is unprecedented in gold catalysis and scarcely documented in other metal-catalyzed/promoted reactions; moreover, the reaction exhibits excellent regioselectivities, which are much better than those reported in literature. With 1,2-disubstituted unactivated alkenes, the reaction is largely stereospecific. The cyclobutene products can be prepared in nearly gram scale and readily undergo further reactions including various cross-coupling reactions using the C(sp2)-Cl and/or C(sp2)-SPh bond, which in turn substantially broaden the scope of accessible cyclobutenes and enhance the synthetic utility of this bimolecular reaction.

Combining Theory and Experiment to Characterize the Voltammetric Behavior of Nickel Anodes in the Simons Process.

Project description:The Simons process, otherwise known as the electrochemical fluorination (ECF) method, is widely used in industry to electrolytically synthesize chemicals for various purposes. Even to this day, the exact mechanism of the ECF reaction remains unknown, but is believed to involve the formation of an anodic nickel fluoride film with highly oxidized nickel centers. In this study, experiments and density functional theory calculations are combined to characterize the initial anodic peak occurring at potentials typically required in an ECF cell. NiF2 is believed to form a passivating layer at low potentials. The calculations show that a potential of +3.1 V is required to oxidize surface Ni2+ centers to Ni3+ . This is in good agreement with the measured anodic peak at +3.57 V.

Controlling Selectivity by Controlling the Path of Trajectories.

Project description:Consideration of the role of dynamic trajectories in [1,2]- and [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements suggests a counterintuitive approach to controlling the selectivity. In our hypothesis, [2,3] selectivity can be promoted by reaction conditions that thermodynamically disfavor the [2,3] rearrangement step and thereby make the transition state later. The application of this idea has led to a successful prescription for dictating the selectivity in Stevens/Sommelet-Hauser rearrangements of ammonium ylides. A combination of kinetic isotope effects, crossover experiments, and computational dynamic trajectories support the idea that the selectivity is controlled through control of the path of trajectories.

Reactivity and selectivity in hydrovinylation of strained alkenes.

Project description:The scope of Ni(II)-catalyzed hydrovinylation has been extended to strained alkenes such as heterobicyclic [2.2.1]heptanes and cylobutenes. Reactions involving the heterobicyclic compounds are rare examples for this class of compounds where the metal-catalyzed C-C bond-forming reactions proceed without a concomitant ring-opening process. While the enantioselectivity in these systems remains modest, hydrovinylation of endo-5,6--bis-benzyloxymethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene gives excellent yield (>90%) of the product with one of the highest enantioselectivities (95-99% ee) reported for a C-C bond-forming reaction of norbornenes.

Synthesis, density functional theory (DFT) studies and urease inhibition activity of chiral benzimidazoles.

Project description:A variety of benzimidazole by the heterocyclization of orthophenylenediamine were synthesized in 69-86% yields. The synthesized compounds 3a-f and 6a-f were characterized and further investigated as jack bean urease inhibitors. Density functional theory (DFT) studies were performed utilizing the basis set B3LYP/6-31G (d, p) to acquire perception into their structural properties. Frontier molecular orbital (FMO) analysis of all compounds 3a-f and 6a-f was computed at the same level of theory to get a notion about their chemical reactivity and stability. The mapping of the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) over the entire stabilized molecular geometry indicated the reactive centers. They exhibited urease inhibition activity with IC50 between 22 and 99 μM. Compounds containing withdrawing groups on the benzene ring (3d, 6d) were not showing significant urease inhibition. The value obtained for 3a, 3b, 3f had shown their significant urease inhibition for both theoretical and experimental. Notably, the compound having S-configuration (3a) (22.26 ± 6.2 μM) was good as compared to its R enantiomer 3f (31.42 ± 23.3 μM). Despite this, we elaborated the computational studies of the corresponding compounds, to highlight electronic effect which include HOMO, LUMO, Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and molecular docking.

Rh(iii)-catalyzed tandem annulative redox-neutral arylation/amidation of aromatic tethered alkenes.

Project description:Transition-metal-catalyzed directed C-H functionalization has emerged as a powerful and straightforward tool to construct C-C bonds and C-N bonds. Among these processes, the intramolecular annulative alkene hydroarylation reaction has received much attention because this intramolecular annulation can produce more complex and high value-added structural motifs found in numerous natural products and bioactive molecules. Despite remarkable progress, these annulative protocols developed to date remain limited to hydroarylation and functionalization of one side of alkenes, thus largely limiting the structural diversity and complexity. Herein, we developed a rhodium(iii)-catalyzed tandem annulative arylation/amidation reaction of aromatic tethered alkenes to deliver a variety of 2,3-dihydro-3-benzofuranmethanamine derivatives bearing an all-carbon quaternary stereo center by employing 3-substituted 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ones as an amidating reagent to capture the transient C(sp3)-Rh intermediate. Notably, by simply changing the directing group, a second, unsymmetrical ortho C-H amidation/annulation can be achieved to provide tricyclic dihydrofuro[3,2-f]quinazolinones in good yields.
