Salen promoted enantioselective Nazarov cyclizations of activated and unactivated dienones.

ABSTRACT: A novel class of chiral 5,5'-di(2,4,6-trialkyl)aryl salen-metal complexes have been developed and shown to catalyze highly enantioselective Nazarov cyclization reactions, giving rise to cyclopentenoids in 90:10-98:2 er. Significantly, the catalysts also promote, for the first time, highly enantioselective Nazarov reactions of "unactivated" dienones, producing hydrindenone products having in place three contiguous chiral centers.

Asymmetric Nazarov Cyclizations of Unactivated Dienones by Hydrogen-Bond-Donor/Lewis Acid Co-Catalyzed, Enantioselective Proton-Transfer.

Project description:We report an enantioselective Nazarov cyclization catalyzed by chiral hydrogen-bond-donors in concert with silyl Lewis acids. The developed transformation provides access to tri-substituted cyclopentenones in high levels of enantioselectivity (up to 95% e.e.) from a variety of simple unactivated dienones. Kinetic and mechanistic studies are consistent with a reversible 4π-electrocyclization C-C bond-forming step followed by rate- and enantio-determining proton-transfer as the mode of catalysis.

Stereoselective Nazarov cyclizations of bridged bicyclic dienones.

Project description:[reaction: see text] Bridged bicyclic dienones underwent silyl-directed Nazarov cyclization with generally very high diastereoselectivity. In most cases, a strong preference for cyclization to the product with an exo-disposed cyclopentenone was seen. However, the presence of additional unsaturation in the three-carbon bridge of a bicyclo[3.2.1]octadiene system caused complete reversal in selectivity with exclusive formation of the endo-cyclopentenone. The observed selectivities are believed to result from a combination of steric and electronic effects.

Asymmetric synthesis of multiple quaternary stereocentre-containing cyclopentyls by oxazolidinone-promoted Nazarov cyclizations.

Project description:Carbometalation of oxazolidinone (Ox)-substituted ynamides is used to generate highly substituted Ox-divinyl (and aryl vinyl) ketones for use in Nazarov cyclizations. The Ox-group serves as a remarkably effective chiral activating group, enabling the torquoselective Nazarov cyclization of these sterically congested substrates to be performed under mild conditions. It also serves as a charge-stabilizing group in the intermediate oxyallyl cation, suppressing undesired [1,2]-sigmatropic shifts of neighboring substituents and facilitating the regio- and stereoselective incorporation of nucleophiles to yield cyclopentanoids containing up to three contiguous all-carbon quaternary (4°) stereocentres.

Biomimetic 2-Imino-Nazarov Cyclizations via Eneallene Aziridination.

Project description:Amidoallyl cations are appealing three-carbon synthons for the preparation of complex amine-containing carbocycles; however, methods to generate and utilize these reactive species are limited and underexplored compared to those for oxallyl cations. Here we disclose a bioinspired strain-driven ring opening of bicyclic methyleneaziridines to 2-amidopentadienyl cation intermediates that readily engage in Nazarov cyclizations. Advantages of this strategy include ease of generation and improved reactivity compared to 3-pentadienyl cations, control over the ultimate position of the alkene, the potential for high dr between vicinal stereocenters, and the ability to further elaborate the products to fully substituted aminocyclopentanes. Experimental and computational studies support a dual role for the Rh2Ln complex as both a nitrene transfer catalyst and a Lewis acid promoter, insight that provides a framework for the future development of asymmetric 2-imino-Nazarov cyclizations.

Diastereospecific nazarov cyclization of fully substituted dienones: generation of vicinal all-carbon-atom quaternary stereocenters.

Project description:No vacancy: Fully substituted dienones that are highly polarized by a vinylogous carbonate group were found to undergo a remarkably rapid and diastereospecific Nazarov cyclization that led to cyclopentenones with vicinal all-carbon-atom quaternary centers (see example; SEM=2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethyl, Tf=trifluoromethanesulfonyl).

Enantioselective Nazarov Cyclization Catalyzed by a Cinchona Alkaloid Derivative.

Project description:Nucleophilic catalysts for a 1,6 addition/Nazarov cyclization/elimination sequence were evaluated for their ability to induce enantioselectivity in the electrocyclization step. Of the tertiary amines examined, it was found that a cinchona alkaloid derivative was able to generate substituted 5-hydroxy γ-methylene cyclopentenones with excellent enantioselectivity. The study results suggest that successful cyclization depends upon the ability of the dienyl diketone substrate to readily adopt an s-cis conformation.

Base-Promoted Radical Azofluoromethylation of Unactivated Alkenes.

Project description:The base-induced reaction of aryl diazonium salts with commercially available CF3SO2Na/CF2HSO2Na allows for the generation of the corresponding diazene radicals along with fluoromethyl radicals. The addition of fluoromethyl radicals to alkenes with subsequent diazene trapping provides the azofluoromethylation products in good to excellent yields. This metal-free method under mild reaction conditions has broad functional group compatibility and is applicable in the late-stage modification of various natural products and bioactive molecules.

Enantioselective copper-catalyzed carboetherification of unactivated alkenes.

Project description:Chiral saturated oxygen heterocycles are important components of bioactive compounds. Cyclization of alcohols onto pendant alkenes is a direct route to their synthesis, but few catalytic enantioselective methods enabling cyclization onto unactivated alkenes exist. Herein reported is a highly efficient copper-catalyzed cyclization of ?-unsaturated pentenols which terminates in C-C bond formation, a net alkene carboetherification. Both intra- and intermolecular C-C bond formations are demonstrated, thus yielding functionalized chiral tetrahydrofurans as well as fused-ring and bridged-ring oxabicyclic products. Transition-state calculations support a cis-oxycupration stereochemistry-determining step.

Enantioselective Nickel-Catalyzed anti-Arylmetallative Cyclizations onto Acyclic Ketones.

Project description:Domino reactions involving nickel-catalyzed additions of (hetero)arylboronic acids to alkynes, followed by cyclization of the alkenylnickel intermediates onto tethered acyclic ketones to give chiral tertiary-alcohol-containing products in high enantioselectivities, are described. The reversible E/Z isomerization of the alkenylnickel intermediates enables overall anti-arylmetallative cyclization to occur. The ring system of the products are substructures of certain diarylindolizidine alkaloids.

Magnesium-Promoted Additions of Difluoroenolates to Unactivated Imines.

Project description:Although there are many synthetic methods to produce fluorinated and trifluoromethylated organic structures, the construction of difluoromethylated compounds remains a synthetic challenge. We have discovered that unactivated imines will react with difluoroenolates under exceedingly mild conditions when using magnesium salts and organic bases. We have applied this approach to the iminoaldol reaction to produce difluoromethylene groups as α,α-difluoro-β-amino-carbonyl groups. This method provides synthetically useful quantities of difficult to access α,α-difluoro-β-aminoketones without the need of protecting groups or the use of activated imines. Moreover, we have applied this strategy to create analogues of the dual orexin receptor antagonist, almorexant, in only two synthetic steps.
