Identification of the best-suited leaving group for the diastereoselective synthesis of glycidic amides from stabilised ammonium ylides and aldehydes.

ABSTRACT: In comparison to the use of sulfur ylides, the use of ammonium ylides for the synthesis of epoxides is significantly less developed. As a part of our systematic investigations concerning the use of amide-stabilised ammonium ylides for the synthesis of glycidic amides we have focused on the identification of the best-suited amino leaving group for this purpose. Whereas tertiary amines like quinuclidine or cinchona alkaloids were found to be not suited for epoxide formation, trimethylamine was found to be the leaving group of choice, yielding trans-glycidic amides in excellent yields of > 90%.

Ammonium ylides for the diastereoselective synthesis of glycidic amides.

Project description:A highly trans-selective protocol for the synthesis of glycidic amides was developed. This approach gave access to oxiranes by reacting stabilised ammonium ylides bearing an ?-carbonyl group and aromatic aldehydes in moderate to good yields.

Diastereoselective chelation-controlled additions to ?-silyloxy aldehydes.

Project description:A general diastereoselective method for the addition of dialkylzincs and (E)-di- and (E)-trisubstituted vinylzinc reagents to ?-silyloxy aldehydes is presented. This method employs alkyl zinc triflate and nonaflate Lewis acids and affords chelation-controlled products (6:1 to > 20:1 dr).

Reagent controlled addition of chiral sulfur ylides to chiral aldehydes.

Project description:The degree of reagent and substrate control in the reaction of chiral sulfur ylides with chiral aldehydes has been investigated. Specifically, the reactions of the two enantiomers of the chiral benzyl sulfonium salt 1 with glyceraldehyde acetonide were studied in detail. Of the two new stereogenic centers created, it was found that the C1 stereochemistry was largely controlled by the reagent, whereas control at the C2 center was dependent on the aldehyde used. In one case, the trans isomer was produced via reversible formation of the intermediate betaine, whereas in the alternative case, the C2 center was under Felkin Anh/Cornforth control through non-reversible formation of the betaine. Thus, the aldehyde stereocenter influenced the degree of reversibility in betaine formation, which impacted on the stereocontrol at the C2 position.

Enantioselective Spirocyclopropanation of para-Quinone Methides Using Ammonium Ylides.

Project description:The use of Cinchona alkaloid-based chiral ammonium ylides allows for the first highly enantioselective and broadly applicable spirocyclopropanation reactions of para-quinone methides. This strategy provides a straightforward protocol toward the chiral spiro[2.5]octa-4,7-dien-6-one skeleton, which is a frequently found structural motif in important biologically active molecules.

Towards a General Understanding of Carbonyl-Stabilised Ammonium Ylide-Mediated Epoxidation Reactions.

Project description:The key factors for carbonyl-stabilised ammonium ylide-mediated epoxidation reactions were systematically investigated by experimental and computational means and the hereby obtained energy profiles provide explanations for the observed experimental results. In addition, we were able to identify the first tertiary amine-based chiral auxiliary that allows for high enantioselectivities and high yields for such epoxidation reactions.

Enantioselective Synthesis of D-α-Amino Amides from Aliphatic Aldehydes.

Project description:Peptides consisting of D-amino amides are highly represented among both biologically active natural products and non-natural small molecules used in therapeutic development. Chemical synthesis of D-amino amides most often involves approaches based on enzymatic resolution or fractional recrystallization of their diastereomeric amine salts, techniques that produce an equal amount of the L-amino acid. Enantioselective synthesis, however, promises selective and general access to a specific α-amino amide, and may enable efficient peptide synthesis regardless of the availability of the corresponding α-amino acid. This report describes the use of a cinchona alkaloid-catalyzed aza-Henry reaction using bromonitromethane, and the integration of its product with Umpolung Amide Synthesis. The result is a straightforward 3-step protocol beginning from aliphatic aldehydes that provides homologated peptides bearing an aliphatic side chain at the resulting D-α-amino amide.

Enantio- and Diastereoselective, Lewis Base Catalyzed, Cascade Sulfenoacetalization of Alkenyl Aldehydes.

Project description:A catalytic, enantio-, and diastereoselective formation of sulfenyl acetals bearing multiple stereogenic centers is reported. Alkenyl aldehydes undergo a chiral thiiranium ion initiated cascade starting with intramolecular capture by a formyl group and termination by capture with HFIP solvent. This method provides a one-pot synthesis of dihydropyran and 1,3-disubstituted isochroman acetals in good to excellent yield and with high levels of diastereo- (up to >99:1 dr) and enantiocontrol (up to 99:1 er).

Asymmetric syntheses of three-membered heterocycles using chiral amide-based ammonium ylides.

Project description:The use of carbonyl-stabilised ammonium ylides to access chiral glycidic amides and the corresponding aziridines has so far been limited to racemic trans-selective protocols. We herein report the development of an asymmetric approach to access such compounds with high levels of stereoselectivity using easily accessible chiral auxiliary-based ammonium ylides. The use of phenylglycinol as the chiral auxiliary was found to be superior to Evans or pseudoephedrine-based auxiliaries resulting in good to excellent stereoselectivities in both, epoxidation and aziridination reactions.

Enzyme-specific activation versus leaving group ability.

Project description:Enzyme-specific activation and the substrate mimetics strategy are effective ways to circumvent the limited substrate recognition often encountered in protease-catalyzed peptide synthesis. A key structural element in both approaches is the guanidinophenyl (OGp) ester, which enables important interactions for affinity and recognition by the enzyme--at least, this is usually the explanation given for its successful application. In this study we show that leaving group ability is of equal or even greater importance. To this end we used both experimental and computational methods: 1) synthesis of close analogues of OGp, and their evaluation in a dipeptide synthesis assay with trypsin, 2) molecular docking studies to provide insights into the binding mode, and 3) ab initio calculations to evaluate their electronic properties.

Base-catalyzed synthesis of aryl amides from aryl azides and aldehydes.

Project description:Aryl amides have been used as important compounds in pharmaceuticals, materials and in molecular catalysis. The methods reported to prepare aryl amides generally require very specific reagents, and the most popular carboxyl-amine coupling reactions demand stoichiometric activators. Herein, we report that aryl azides react with aldehydes under base-catalyzed conditions to yield aryl amides efficiently. Mechanistic investigations support the formation of triazoline intermediates via azide-enolate cycloaddition, which subsequently undergo rearrangement to give amides by either thermal decomposition (20-140 °C) or aqueous acid work-up at room temperature. The strategy does not require nucleophilic anilines and is especially efficient for highly electron-deficient aryl amides, including perfluoroaryl amides, which are otherwise challenging to synthesize.
