Synthesis of (+)-discodermolide by catalytic stereoselective borylation reactions.

ABSTRACT: The marine natural product (+)-discodermolide was first isolated in 1990 and, to this day, remains a compelling synthesis target. Not only does the compound possess fascinating biological activity, but it also presents an opportunity to test current methods for chemical synthesis and provides an inspiration for new reaction development. A new synthesis of discodermolide employs a previously undisclosed stereoselective catalytic diene hydroboration and also establishes a strategy for the alkylation of chiral enolates. Furthermore, this synthesis of discodermolide provides the first examples of the asymmetric 1,4-diboration of dienes and borylative diene-aldehyde couplings in complex-molecule synthesis.

Catalytic Alkene Cyclization Reactions for the Stereoselective Synthesis of Complex "Terpenoid-like" Heterocycles.

Project description:A new catalytic synthesis of densely-substituted tetrahydroquinolines is described. This reaction forms up to two rings, three bonds, and three stereogenic centers with excellent stereo- and regiocontrol in a single step. Although control experiments demonstrate that the active catalyst is protic acid, Sc(OTf)3 serves as an effective and practical pre-catalyst. The scope of this reaction is demonstrated with 21 monocyclizations and 14 bicyclization reactions.

Stereoselective synthesis of highly functionalized alpha-diazo-beta-ketoalkanoates via catalytic one-pot Mukaiyama-Aldol reactions.

Project description:Methyl diazoacetoacetate undergoes zinc triflate catalyzed condensation with a broad selection of aldehydes to produce delta-siloxy-alpha-diazo-beta-ketoalkanoates in good yield, and delta-hydroxy-alpha-diazo-beta-ketoalkanoates are formed with high diastereoselectivity in reactions with alpha-diazo-beta-ketopentanoate promoted by dibutylboron triflate.

Catalytic activation of glycosyl phosphates for stereoselective coupling reactions.

Project description:Glycosyl phosphates are shown to be activated to stereospecific nucleophilic substitution reactions by precisely tailored bis-thiourea catalysts. Enhanced reactivity and scope is observed with phosphate relative to chloride leaving groups. Stronger binding (Km) to the H-bond donor and enhanced reactivity of the complex (kcat) enables efficient catalysis with broad functional group compatibility under mild, neutral conditions.

Catalytic borylation of methane.

Project description:Despite steady progress in catalytic methods for the borylation of hydrocarbons, methane has not yet been subject to this transformation. Here we report the iridium-catalyzed borylation of methane using bis(pinacolborane) in cyclohexane solvent. Initially, trace amounts of borylated products were detected with phenanthroline-coordinated Ir complexes. A combination of experimental high-pressure and high-throughput screening, and computational mechanism discovery techniques helped to rationalize the foundation of the catalysis and identify improved phosphine-coordinated catalytic complexes. Optimized conditions of 150°C and 3500-kilopascal pressure led to yields as high as ~52%, turnover numbers of 100, and improved chemoselectivity for monoborylated versus diborylated methane.

Stereoselective Multicomponent Reactions Using Zincate Nucleophiles: ?-Dicarbonyl Synthesis and Functionalization.

Project description:A general strategy for conjugate addition-C-acylation that enables the synthesis of enantioenriched ?-dicarbonyl compounds is described. A novel method for derivatizing these adducts by stereo- and site-selective zinc-catalyzed addition of alkyllithium reagents is also reported. These reactions can be performed in tandem to achieve an enantio- and diastereoselective four-component coupling. The in situ generation of weakly basic lithium zincate species is central to the success of all three transformations.

Iminium Ion Cascade Reactions: Stereoselective Synthesis of Quinolizidines and Indolizidines.

Project description:A novel iminium ion cascade reaction has been developed that allows for the stereoselective synthesis of a variety of substituted aza-fused bicycles. The combination of amino allylsilanes and aldehydes (or ketones) was used to synthesize a number of quinolizidines and indolizidines in an one-pot reaction sequence. This technology has been used to effect the facile syntheses of several indolizidine and quinolizidine natural products including, (±)-epilupinine, (±)-tashiromine, and (-)-epimyrtine. Substrate scope has been examined varying the type of amino allylsilanes (primary, secondary and conjugated) and carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) to give a variety of fused ring structures. Varying the components chosen allows for the inclusion of synthetically useful functional groups at different positions on the core structure. The methodology has been used to construct the tricyclic core structures present in the cylindricine family and halichlorine.

Catalytic stereoselective synthesis of diverse oxindoles and spirooxindoles from isatins.

Project description:A strategy for the efficient two-step synthesis of triazole derivatives of oxindoles and spirooxindoles is presented. Using a common set of N-propargylated isatins, a series of mechanistically distinct stereoselective reactions with different combinations of nucleophiles and catalysts provide access to diverse hydroxy-oxindoles, spiroindolones, and spirocyclic oxazoline structures. The resulting N-propargylated oxindoles are then converted to triazoles using copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reactions. Overall, this strategy affords a 64-member pilot-scale library of diverse oxindoles and spirooxindoles.

Catalytic discrimination between formyl groups in regio- and stereoselective intramolecular cross-aldol reactions.

Project description:Catalytic discrimination between inequivalent formyl groups was achieved using an aniline-type acid-base catalyst for the regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective intramolecular cross-aldol reactions of enolizable dials. Although l-proline gave a mixture of the regio- and stereoisomeric products in the presence of an N-containing 1,6-dial, the aniline-type catalyst afforded anti-3,4-disubstituted pyrrolidine in high regio-, and stereoselectivity beyond the background reaction, which led to the regioisomeric 2,3-disubstituted products. The mild reactivity of the aniline-type amine facilitated catalytic discrimination between the inequivalent formyl groups. Kinetic isotope effect studies and reductive amination experiments suggested that the regioselectivity was controlled under the enamine-forming steps.

Highly Regio- and Stereoselective Catalytic Synthesis of Conjugated Dienes and Polyenes.

Project description:Conjugated dienes and polyenes are typically synthesized by sequential introduction of C?C bonds. Here, we report a practical and scalable, catalytic dienylation that is highly regio- and stereoselective for both C?C bonds. The reaction is enabled by a stereoselective palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling that is preceded by a regioselective base-induced ring opening of readily available sulfolenes. The dienylation reaction is particularly useful for the synthesis of synthetically challenging dienes containing cis double bonds. We also show that the reaction can serve as a synthetic platform for the construction of conjugated polyenes.

Enantioselective Synthesis of Allenes by Catalytic Traceless Petasis Reactions.

Project description:Allenes are useful functional groups in synthesis as a result of their inherent chemical properties and established reactivity patterns. One property of chemical bonding renders 1,3-substituted allenes chiral, making them attractive targets for asymmetric synthesis. While there are many enantioselective methods to synthesize chiral allenes from chiral starting materials, fewer methods exist to directly synthesize enantioenriched chiral allenes from achiral precursors. We report here an asymmetric boronate addition to sulfonyl hydrazones catalyzed by chiral biphenols to access enantioenriched allenes in a traceless Petasis reaction. The resulting Mannich product from nucleophilic addition eliminates sulfinic acid, yielding a propargylic diazene that performs an alkyne walk to afford the allene. Two enantioselective approaches have been developed; alkynyl boronates add to glycolaldehyde imine to afford allylic hydroxyl allenes, and allyl boronates add to alkynyl imines to form 1,3-alkenyl allenes. In both cases, the products are obtained in high yields and enantioselectivities.
