Enantioselective direct aldol reactions catalyzed by L-prolinamide derivatives.

ABSTRACT: l-Prolinamides 2, prepared from l-proline and simple aliphatic and aromatic amines, have been found to be active catalysts for the direct aldol reaction of 4-nitrobenzaldehyde with neat acetone at room temperature. They give moderate enantioselectivities of up to 46% enantiomeric excess (ee). The enantioselectivity increases as the amide N-H becomes a better hydrogen bond donor. l-Prolinamides 3, derived from the reaction of l-proline with alpha,beta-hydroxyamines such that there is a terminal hydroxyl group, show more efficient catalysis and higher enantioselectivities. In particular, catalyst 3h, prepared from l-proline and (1S,2S)-diphenyl-2-aminoethanol, exhibits high enantioselectivities of up to 93% ee for aromatic aldehydes and up to >99% ee for aliphatic aldehydes under -25 degrees C. Model reactions of benzaldehyde with three enamines derived from the condensation of prolinamides with acetone have been studied by quantum mechanics calculations. The calculations reveal that the amide N-H and the terminal hydroxyl groups form hydrogen bonds with the benzaldehyde substrate. These hydrogen bonds reduce the activation energy and cause high enantioselectivity. Our results suggest a new strategy in the design of new organic catalysts for direct asymmetric aldol reactions and related transformations.

Direct and Enantioselective Aldol Reactions Catalyzed by Chiral Nickel(II) Complexes.

Project description:A direct and asymmetric aldol reaction of N-acyl thiazinanethiones with aromatic aldehydes catalyzed by chiral nickel(II) complexes is reported. The reaction gives the corresponding O-TIPS-protected anti-aldol adducts in high yields and with remarkable stereocontrol and atom economy. Furthermore, the straightforward removal of the achiral scaffold provides enantiomerically pure intermediates of synthetic interest, which involve precursors for anti-α-amino-β-hydroxy and α,β-dihydroxy carboxylic derivatives. Theoretical calculations explain the observed high stereocontrol.

Chiral phosphoramide-catalyzed, enantioselective, directed cross-aldol reactions of aldehydes.

Project description:Catalytic, enantioselective, directed cross-aldol reactions of aldehydes are described. The addition of isobutyraldehyde trichlorosilyl enolate 2 to various aldehydes in the presence of 10 mol % bisphosphoramide 4 provides aldol products in high yields with moderate to good enantioselectivities. The reaction works well with a wide range of aromatic, olefinic, and aliphatic aldehydes. Enantioselectivities are highly dependent on the electronic nature of the aldehyde substituent. Hammett studies reveal that enantioselectivity increases as aldehydes become either more electron rich or more electron poor.

A new class of ligands for aqueous, lanthanide-catalyzed, enantioselective Mukaiyama aldol reactions.

Project description:The development of aqueous methods for generating enantiopure ?-hydroxy carbonyl compounds is an important goal because these subunits compose many bioactive compounds and the ability to synthesize these groups in water has environmental and cost benefits. In this communication, we report a new class of ligands for aqueous, lanthanide-catalyzed, asymmetric Mukaiyama aldol reactions for the synthesis of chiral ?-hydroxy ketones. Furthermore, we have used luminescence-decay measurements to unveil mechanistic information regarding the catalytic reaction via changes in water-coordination number. The precatalysts presented here yielded ?-hydroxy carbonyls from aliphatic and aryl substrates with outstanding syn:anti ratios and enantiometric excesses of up to 49:1 and 97%, respectively.

Nanoporous Aluminosilicate-Catalyzed Telescoped Acetalization-Direct Aldol Reactions of Acetals with 1,3-Dicarbonyl Compounds.

Project description:Nanoporous aluminosilicate materials, synthesized by an evaporation-induced self-assembly process, catalyze the direct aldol reaction of acyclic acetals with a range of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to produce the corresponding aldol addition products in high yield, rather than the expected Knoevenagel elimination products. By carrying out the reaction in the presence of either dimethoxy propane or the corresponding orthoester, it is possible to capitalize on the ability of these aluminosilicate materials to catalyze the corresponding acetalization reaction leading to the development of novel telescoped, acetalization-direct aldol addition reaction protocols.

Concise Enantioselective Synthesis of Oxygenated Steroids via Sequential Copper(II)-Catalyzed Michael Addition/Intramolecular Aldol Cyclization Reactions.

Project description:A new scalable enantioselective approach to functionalized oxygenated steroids is described. This strategy is based on chiral bis(oxazoline) copper(II) complex-catalyzed enantioselective and diastereoselective Michael reactions of cyclic ketoesters and enones to install vicinal quaternary and tertiary stereocenters. In addition, the utility of copper(II) salts as highly active catalysts for the Michael reactions of traditionally unreactive ?,?'-enones and substituted ?,?'-ketoesters that results in unprecedented Michael adducts containing vicinal all-carbon quaternary centers is also demonstrated. The Michael adducts subsequently undergo base-promoted diastereoselective aldol cascade reactions resulting in the natural or unnatural steroid skeletons. The experimental and computational studies suggest that the torsional strain effects arising from the presence of the ?(5)-unsaturation are key controlling elements for the formation of the natural cardenolide scaffold. The described method enables expedient generation of polycyclic molecules including modified steroidal scaffolds as well as challenging-to-synthesize Hajos-Parrish and Wieland-Miescher ketones.

Enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-pironetin: iterative aldol reactions of thiazolidinethiones.

Project description:The enantioselective total synthesis of pironetin has been achieved in 11 steps from known aldehyde 2. The synthesis relies on the formation of 5 out of 6 stereocenters through titanium mediated iterative aldol reactions. Key steps in this synthesis include an acetal aldol reaction to establish the stereochemistry at C8 and C9, an acetate aldol reaction, and "Evans" syn aldol reaction.

Gold(I)-catalyzed enantioselective polycyclization reactions.

Project description:A series of enantioselective polycyclization reactions, catalyzed by a cationic bisphosphine gold complexes, are described. The polycyclization reactions, which employ an alkyne as an initiating group, begin with a gold-promoted 6-exo-dig cyclization and can be terminated with a variety of nucleophiles including carboxylic acids, phenols, sulfonamides, and electron-rich aryl groups. This method allows for the preparation of up to four bonds in a single operation with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity.

Aldol Reactions of Conformationally Stable Axially Chiral Thiohydantoin Derivatives.

Project description:Two novel axially chiral ortho-trifluoromethylphenyl thiohydantoin derivatives have been prepared atroposelectively from the reaction of R and S alanine methyl ester HCl salts with ortho-trifluoromethylphenyl isothiocyanate in the presence of triethyl amine. It was found that after purification of the crude product by simple recrystallization, the R amino acid esters yielded thiohydantoins having solely M axial chirality whereas the S ones returned the P isomers only. This result prompted us to perform sterically controlled aldol reactions on M and P thiohydantoin atropisomers. It was found that during the aldol reaction of 3-o-trifluoromethyl-5-methylthiohydantoins, the o-trifluoromethyl group of the M isomers efficiently shielded the Si face of the intermediate and in this way, enabled the selective formation of only the R configured aldol products at C5 of the heterocyclic ring. The P thiohydantoins, on the other hand, yielded only the S C5 configured aldol products as a result of the Re face shielding of the ortho-trifluoromethyl group of intermediate enolates. A noteworthy face selectivity of the benzaldehyde molecule was not observed (anti/syn only 3/2) during the aldolization of trifluoromethylphenyl derivatives of thiohydantoins. Aldol reactions were also done using the previously synthesized axially chiral thiohydantoins with ortho-Cl, Br, and I phenyl substituents which had predominantly P conformations (P/M ratios > 95%), and the stereochemical outcomes were compared with those of the ortho-trifluoromethyl substituted ones. 80-90% face selectivity of the benzaldehyde molecule was observed for the axially chiral o-halophenyl substituted thiohydantoins. The syntheses done with axially chiral 3-ortho-trifluoromethylphenyl- and 3-ortho-iodophenyl-5-methyl thiohydantoins enabled stereoselective formation of quaternized chiral carbon centers at C5 of the thiohydantoin ring.
