Asymmetric homoenolate additions to acyl phosphonates through rational design of a tailored N-heterocyclic carbene catalyst.

ABSTRACT: A highly selective NHC-catalyzed synthesis of ?-butyrolactones from the fusion of enals and ?-ketophosphonates has been developed. Computational modeling of competing transition states guided a rational design strategy to achieve enhanced levels of enantioselectivity with a new tailored C1-symmetric biaryl-saturated imidazolium-derived NHC catalyst.

A highly selective NHC-catalyzed synthesis of γ-butyrolactones from the fusion of enals and α-ketophosphonates has been developed. Computational modeling of competing transition states guided a rational design strategy to achieve enhanced levels of enantioselectivity with a new tailored C1-symmetric biaryl-saturated imidazolium-derived NHC catalyst. ...[more]

Late-stage diversification of chiral N-heterocyclic-carbene precatalysts for enantioselective homoenolate additions.

Project description:A library of chiral triazolium salts has been prepared by late-state diversification of a triazolium amine salt. By utilizing a primary amine as a functional handle, a single triazolium salt can be transformed into a variety of chiral N-heterocyclic carbene precatalysts. This approach makes the preparation of chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes possible by a single-step modification of a triazolium salt, rather than the usual need for multistep organic synthesis and challenging heterocycle formation for each member of a catalyst library. We have screened these catalysts for control of diastereo- and enantioselectivity in a γ-lactam-forming reaction between α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and cyclic ketimines.

N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed conjugate additions of alcohols.

Project description:An efficient intermolecular conjugate addition of alcohols to activated alkenes catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbenes has been developed. With 5 mol % of the free carbene derived from IMes·HCl, unsaturated ketones and esters are competent substrates, and a variety of primary and secondary alcohols can be employed as the nucleophile. No oligomerization is observed under these mild conditions for effective hydroalkoxylation. In addition to reactions with activated alkenes, IMes catalyzes the formation of vinyl ethers through the 1,4-addition of alcohols to ynones and promotes tandem conjugate addition/Michael cascade reactions. Preliminary data support a Brønsted base mechanism with the free carbene.

Asymmetric N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzed addition of enals to nitroalkenes: controlling stereochemistry via the homoenolate reactivity pathway to access δ-lactams.

Project description:An asymmetric intermolecular reaction between enals and nitroalkenes to yield δ-nitroesters has been developed, catalyzed by a novel chiral N-heterocyclic carbene. Key to this work was the development of a catalyst that favors the δ-nitroester pathway over the established Stetter pathway. The reaction proceeds in high stereoselectivity and affords the previously unreported syn diastereomer. We also report an operationally facile two-step, one-pot procedure for the synthesis of δ-lactams.

Impact of solvent polarity on N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed beta-protonations of homoenolate equivalents.

Project description:N-Heterocyclic carbenes have been demonstrated to react through divergent pathways under the same conditions. Experimental and computational evidence demonstrates that the ability to favor generation of homoenolate equivalents from alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes versus the oxidation of aldehydes to esters is highly dependent upon the choice of solvent. The solvation environment plays an important role due to the mechanistic differences in these processes, with polar protic solvent favoring the oxidation process due to solvation of intermediates with greater charge separation.

N-Heterocyclic Carbene Acyl Anion Organocatalysis by Ball-Milling.

Project description:The ability to conduct N-heterocyclic carbene-catalysed acyl anion chemistry under ball-milling conditions is reported for the first time. This process has been exemplified through applications to intermolecular-benzoin, intramolecular-benzoin, intermolecular-Stetter and intramolecular-Stetter reactions including asymmetric examples and demonstrates that this mode of mechanistically complex organocatalytic reaction can operate under solvent-minimised conditions.

Acyl Donor Intermediates in N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalysis: Acyl Azolium or Azolium Enolate?

Project description:Azolium enolates and acyl azolium cations have been proposed as intermediates in numerous N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed transformations. Acetyl azolium enolates were generated from the reaction of 2-propenyl acetate with both saturated (SIPr) and aromatic (IPr) NHCs, isolated, and characterized (NMR, XRD). Protonation with triflic acid gave the corresponding acetyl azolium triflates which were isolated and characterized (NMR, XRD). Acyl azolium cations have been proposed as immediate precursors of the ester product, for example, in the redox esterification of α,β-enals. Studies with d3 -acetyl azolium triflate suggest that ester formation originates instead from an azolium enolate intermediate. Furthermore, the acetyl azolium enolate selectively reacted with alcohol nucleophiles in the presence of amines. While the acetyl azolium cation did not react with alcohols, an ester-selective reaction was induced by addition of base, by intermediate formation of the acetyl azolium enolate.

Distinguishing Competing Mechanistic Manifolds for C(acyl)-N Functionalization by a Ni/<i>N</i>-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyst System.

Project description:Carboxylic acid derivatives are appealing alternatives to organohalides as cross-coupling electrophiles for fine chemical synthesis due to their prevalence in biomass and bioactive small molecules as well as their ease of preparation and handling. Within this family, carboxamides comprise a versatile electrophile class for nickel-catalyzed coupling with carbon and heteroatom nucleophiles. However, even state-of-the-art C(acyl)-N functionalization and cross-coupling reactions typically require high catalyst loadings and specific substitution patterns. These challenges have proven difficult to overcome, in large part due to limited experimental mechanistic insight. In this work, we describe a detailed mechanistic case study of acylative coupling reactions catalyzed by the commonly employed Ni/SIPr catalyst system (SIPr = 1,3-bis(2,6-di-isopropylphenyl)-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidine). Stoichiometric organometallic studies, in situ spectroscopic measurements, and crossover experiments demonstrate the accessibility of Ni(0), Ni(I), and Ni(II) resting states. Although in situ precatalyst activation limits reaction efficiency, the low concentrations of active, SIPr-supported Ni(0) select for electrophile-first (closed-shell) over competing nucleophile-first (open-shell) mechanistic manifolds. We anticipate that the experimental insights into the nature and controlling features of these distinct pathways will accelerate rational improvements to cross-coupling methodologies involving pervasive carboxamide substrate motifs.

Cyclic ketimines as superior electrophiles for NHC-catalyzed homoenolate additions with broad scope and low catalyst loadings.

Project description:Cyclic sulfonyl imines derived from ketones were identified as stable and readily prepared compounds that serve as superior electrophiles for N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed annulations with alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes to afford highly substituted gamma-lactams. Their superior reactivity and properties are highlighted by the first example of NHC-catalyzed reactions of enals with low catalyst loadings (0.5 mol %) and broad substrate scope encompassing alkyl, aryl, and heteroaromatic substituents. These findings and supporting studies suggest an alternative, ene-like mechanism rather than the catalytic generation of a catalyst-bound homoenolate equivalent.

N-Heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed oxidative [3 + 2] annulation of dioxindoles and enals: cross coupling of homoenolate and enolate.

Project description:The N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed oxidative [3 + 2] annulation of dioxindole and enals was developed, giving the corresponding spirocyclic oxindole-γ-lactones in good yields with high to excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities. The challenging aliphatic enals worked effectively using this strategy. The oxidative cross coupling of homoenolate and enolate via single electron transfer was proposed as the key step for the reaction.
