Enantioselective annulations for dihydroquinolones by in situ generation of azolium enolates.

ABSTRACT: A convergent, catalytic asymmetric formal [4 + 2] annulation for the synthesis of dihydroquinolones has been developed. Carboxylic acids can be employed as precursors to NHC enolates through an in situ activation strategy. Simultaneous generation of a reactive aza-o-quinone methide under the basic conditions employed for NHC generation leads to a dual activation approach.

Enantioselective α-Chlorination Reactions of in Situ Generated C1 Ammonium Enolates under Base-Free Conditions.

Project description:The asymmetric α-chlorination of activated aryl acetic acid esters can be carried out with high levels of enantioselectivities utilizing commercially available isothiourea catalysts under base-free conditions. The reaction, which proceeds via the in situ formation of chiral C1 ammonium enolates, is best carried out under cryogenic conditions combined with a direct trapping of the activated α-chlorinated ester derivative to prevent epimerization, thus allowing for enantioselectivities of up to e.r. 99:1.

Diastereo- and enantioselective iridium-catalyzed allylation of cyclic ketone enolates: synergetic effect of ligands and barium enolates.

Project description:We report asymmetric allylic alkylation of barium enolates of cyclic ketones catalyzed by a metallacyclic iridium complex containing a phosphoramidite ligand derived from (R)-1-(2-naphthyl)ethylamine. The reaction products contain adjacent quaternary and tertiary stereocenters. This process demonstrates that unstabilized cyclic ketone enolates can undergo diastereo- and enantioselective Ir-catalyzed allylic substitution reactions with the proper choice of enolate countercation. The products of these reactions can be conveniently transformed to various useful polycarbocyclic structures.

Carbene-Catalyzed Enantioselective Decarboxylative Annulations to Access Dihydrobenzoxazinones and Quinolones.

Project description:A direct decarboxylative strategy for the generation of aza-o-quinone methides (aza-o-QMs) by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis has been discovered and explored. This process requires no stoichiometric additives in contrast with current approaches. Aza-o-QMs react with trifluoromethyl ketones through a formal [4+2] manifold to access highly enantioenriched dihydrobenzoxazin-4-one products, which can be converted to dihydroquinolones through an interesting stereoretentive aza-Petasis-Ferrier rearrangement sequence. Complementary dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) studies provided an accurate prediction of the reaction enantioselectivity and lend further insight to the origins of stereocontrol. Additionally, a computed potential energy surface around the major transition structure suggests a concerted asynchronous mechanism for the formal annulation.

A dual Lewis base activation strategy for enantioselective carbene-catalyzed annulations.

Project description:A dual activation strategy integrating N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis and a second Lewis base has been developed. NHC-bound homoenolate equivalents derived from α,β-unsaturated aldehydes combine with transient reactive o-quinone methides in an enantioselective formal [4 + 3] fashion to access 2-benzoxopinones. The overall approach provides a general blueprint for the integration of carbene catalysis with additional Lewis base activation modes.

Catalytic Enantioselective [3 + 2] Cycloaddition of ?-Keto Ester Enolates and Nitrile Oxides.

Project description:An enantioselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between nitrile oxides and transiently generated enolates of ?-keto esters has been developed. The catalyst system was found to be compatible with in situ nitrile oxide-generation conditions. A versatile array of nitrile oxides and ?-keto esters could participate in the cycloaddition, providing novel 5-hydroxy-2-isoxazolines in high chemical yield with high levels of diastereo- and enantioselectivity. Notably, the optimal reaction conditions circumvented concurrent reactions via O-imidoylation and hetero-[3 + 2] pathways.

Iridium-catalyzed enantioselective allylic substitution of unstabilized enolates derived from ?,?-unsaturated ketones.

Project description:We report Ir-catalyzed, enantioselective allylic substitution reactions of unstabilized silyl enolates derived from ?,?-unsaturated ketones. Asymmetric allylic substitution of a variety of allylic carbonates with silyl enolates gave allylated products in 62-94% yield with 90-98% ee and >20:1 branched-to-linear selectivity. The synthetic utility of this method was illustrated by the short synthesis of an anticancer agent, TEI-9826.

Phosphine-catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular [3+2] annulations to generate fused ring systems.

Project description:Substantial progress has been described in the development of asymmetric variants of the phosphine-catalyzed intermolecular [3+2] annulation of allenes with alkenes; however, there have not been corresponding advances for the intramolecular process, which can generate a higher level of complexity (an additional ring and stereocenter(s)). In this study, we describe the application of chiral phosphepine catalysts to address this challenge, thereby providing access to useful scaffolds that are found in bioactive compounds, including diquinane and quinolin-2-one derivatives, with very good stereoselectivity. The products of the [3+2] annulation can be readily transformed into structures that are even more stereochemically rich. Mechanistic studies are consistent with β addition of the phosphepine to the allene being the turnover-limiting step of the catalytic cycle, followed by a concerted [3+2] cycloaddition to the pendant olefin.

Diastereodivergent and Enantioselective [4+2] Annulations of γ-Butenolides with Cyclic 1-Azadienes.

Project description:An asymmetric annulation reaction of γ-butenolides and cyclic 1-azadienes containing a 1,2-benzoisothiazole-1,1-dioxide motif has been studied, proceeding in a tandem Michael addition-aza-Michael addition sequence. Endo-type cycloadducts bearing fused tetracyclic skeletons were isolated in fair yields and with high enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee) under the catalysis of modified cinchona alkaloid (DHQD)2PHAL. Besides, exo-type diastereomers could be produced using β-isocupreidine (β-ICD) as the catalyst, though with moderate enantioselectivity.

Carbene catalyzed umpolung of ?,?-enals: a reactivity study of diamino dienols <i>vs.</i> azolium enolates, and the characterization of advanced reaction intermediates.

Project description:Since their discovery by Bode and Glorius in 2004, N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzed conjugate umpolung reactions of ?,?-enals have been postulated to involve the formation of diamino dienols ("homoenolates") and/or azolium enolates ("enolates"), typically followed by addition to electrophiles, e.g. Michael-acceptors. In this article, we provide evidence, for the first time, for the postulated individual and specific reactivity patterns of diamino dienols (?-C-C-bond formation) vs. azolium enolates (?-C-C-bond formation). Our study is based on the pre-formation of well defined diamino dienols and azolium enolates, and the in situ NMR monitoring of their reactivities towards enone electrophiles. Additionally, reaction intermediates were isolated and characterized, inter alia by X-ray crystallography.
