Squaramide-catalyzed enantioselective Michael addition of masked acyl cyanides to substituted enones.

ABSTRACT: Masked acyl cyanide (MAC) reagents are shown to be effective umpolung synthons for enantioselective Michael addition to substituted enones. The reactions are catalyzed by chiral squaramides and afford adducts in high yields (90-99%) and with excellent enantioselectivities (85-98%). The addition products are unmasked to produce dicyanohydrins that, upon treatment with a variety of nucleophiles, provide γ-keto acids, esters, and amides. The use of this umpolung synthon has enabled, in enantiomerically enriched form, the first total synthesis of the prenylated phenol (+)-fornicin C.

Synthesis of α-amino acid derivatives and peptides via enantioselective addition of masked acyl cyanides to imines.

Project description:A general, asymmetric synthesis of amino acid derivatives is reported. Masked acyl cyanide (MAC) reagents are shown to be effective umpolung synthons for enantioselective additions to N-Boc-aldimines. The reactions are catalyzed by a modified cinchona alkaloid, which can function as a bifunctional, hydrogen bonding catalyst, and afford adducts in excellent yields (90-98%) and high enantioselectivities (up to 97.5:2.5 er). Unmasking the addition products gives acyl cyanide intermediates that are intercepted by a variety of nucleophiles to afford α-amino acid derivatives. Notably, the methodology provides an alternative method for peptide bond formation.

Squaramide-catalyzed enantioselective Michael addition of nitromethane to 2-enoylazaarenes: synthesis of chiral azaarene-containing γ-nitroketones.

Project description:Bifunctional chiral squaramide-catalyzed highly enantioselective Michael addition of nitromethane to diverse 2-enoylazaarenes was successfully performed. This protocol provided a set of chiral azaarene-containing γ-nitroketones with up to 98% yield and 98% ee in a solvent-free catalytic system under mild conditions. Furthermore, gram-scale synthetic utility was also showcased.

Enantioselective direct Michael addition of cyanohydrin ether derivatives to enones catalyzed by chiral bis(guanidino)iminophosphorane organosuperbase.

Project description:The direct use of cyanohydrin ether derivatives as less acidic pronucleophiles was achieved for the first time in the catalytic enantioselective Michael addition reaction under transition metal free conditions. Chiral bis(guanidino)iminophosphoranes as the higher order organosuperbase facilitated the intended catalytic Michael addition to enones, giving rise to the corresponding products in high yields with moderate to high diastereo- and enantioselectivities in most cases. Further elaboration of the corresponding enantioenriched product was conducted by derivatization into a lactam derivative through hydrolysis followed by cyclo-condensation.

Enantioselective Michael Addition of Cyclic β-Diones to α,β-Unsaturated Enones Catalyzed by Quinine-Based Organocatalysts.

Project description:An enantioselective (52-98% ee) Michael addition between cyclic β-diones and α,β-unsaturated enones was established in the presence of quinine-based primary amine or squaramide. A variety of cinnamones were smoothly converted into the desired 3,4-dihydropyrans in moderate to high yields (63-99%). Chalcones were also suitable acceptors and gave rise to the expected adducts in satisfactory yields (31-99%). The resulting adducts readily underwent further modification to form fused 4H-pyran or 2,3-dihydrofuran.

Enantioenriched α-substituted glutamates/pyroglutamates via enantioselective cyclopropenimine-catalyzed Michael addition of amino ester imines.

Project description:A procedure for the enantioselective synthesis of α-substituted glutamates and pyroglutamates via a cyclopropenimine-catalyzed Michael addition of amino ester imines is described. Enantioselectivities of up to 94% have been achieved, and a variety of functional groups were found to be compatible. The impact of the catalyst structure and imine substitution is discussed. Compared to other methods, this protocol allows for a broader and more enantioselective access to pyroglutamate derivatives.

Enantioselective bifunctional iminophosphorane catalyzed sulfa-Michael addition of alkyl thiols to unactivated β-substituted-α,β-unsaturated esters.

Project description:The highly enantioselective sulfa-Michael addition of alkyl thiols to unactivated β-substituted-α,β-unsaturated esters catalyzed by a bifunctional iminophosphorane (BIMP) organocatalyst is described. The low acidity of the alkyl thiol pro-nucleophiles is overcome by the high Brønsted basicity of the catalyst and the chiral scaffold/thiourea hydrogen-bond donor moiety provides the required enantiofacial discrimination in the addition step. The reaction is broad in scope with respect to the alkyl thiol and β-substituent of the α,β-unsaturated ester, affords sulfa-Michael adducts in excellent yields (up to >99%) and enantioselectivity (up to 97 : 3 er) and can operate down to 1 mol% catalyst loading.

Asymmetric 1,4-Michael Addition Reaction of Azadienes with α-Thiocyanoindanones Catalyzed by Bifunctional Chiral Squaramide.

Project description:In this paper, the organocatalytic asymmetric 1,4-Michael addition reaction of azadienes and α-thiocyanoindanones was investigated. A series of chiral benzofuran compounds containing thiocyano group and quaternary carbon center were synthesized in moderate yields with good enantioselectivities (up to 90:10 er) and high diastereoselectivities (up to >95:5 dr). This is the first case of 1,4-Michael addition reaction using α-thiocyanoindanones to obtain a series of chiral thiocyano compounds and further broaden the scope of application of azadiene substrates. In addition, a possible reaction mechanism is also described in the article.

Iron-Catalyzed Coupling of Alkenes and Enones: Sakurai-Michael-type Conjugate Addition of Catalytic Allyliron Nucleophiles.

Project description:The iron-catalyzed coupling of alkenes and enones through allylic C(sp3)-H functionalization is reported. This redox-neutral process employs a cyclopentadienyliron(II) dicarbonyl catalyst and simple alkene substrates to generate catalytic allyliron intermediates for 1,4-addition to chalcones and other conjugated enones. The use of 2,4,6-collidine as the base and a combination of triisopropylsilyl triflate and LiNTf2 as Lewis acids was found to facilitate this transformation under mild, functional group-tolerant conditions. Both electronically unactivated alkenes as well as allylbenzene derivatives could be employed as pronucleophilic coupling partners, as could a range of enones bearing electronically varied substituents.

Project description:The enantioselective construction of densely functionalized cyclopentene bearing contiguous three stereocenters has been a challenging task in organic synthesis. Herein, we present a phoshine-catalyzed highly regio-, diastereo- and enantioselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition of γ-substituted allenoates with β-perfluoroalkyl enones, delivering a wide range of densely functionalized perfluoroalkylated cyclopentenes with three contiguous chiral stereocenters.
