Carbon-carbon bond activation of cyclobutenones enabled by the addition of chiral organocatalyst to ketone.

ABSTRACT: The activation of carbon-carbon (C-C) bonds is an effective strategy in building functional molecules. The C-C bond activation is typically accomplished via metal catalysis, with which high levels of enantioselectivity are difficult to achieve due to high reactivity of metal catalysts and the metal-bound intermediates. It remains largely unexplored to use organocatalysis for C-C bond activation. Here we describe an organocatalytic activation of C-C bonds through the addition of an NHC to a ketone moiety that initiates a C-C single bond cleavage as a key step to generate an NHC-bound intermediate for chemo- and stereo-selective reactions. This reaction constitutes an asymmetric functionalization of cyclobutenones using organocatalysts via a C-C bond activation process. Structurally diverse and multicyclic compounds could be obtained with high optical purities via an atom and redox economic process.

Enantioselective Addition of Bromonitromethane to Aliphatic N-Boc Aldimines Using a Homogeneous Bifunctional Chiral Organocatalyst.

Project description:This report details the enantioselective synthesis of ?-amino-?-bromo nitroalkanes with ?-alkyl substituents, using homogeneous catalysis to prepare either antipode. Use of a bifunctional Brønsted base/acid catalyst allows equal access to either enantiomer of the products, enabling the use of Umpolung Amide Synthesis (UmAS) to prepare the corresponding L- or D-?-amino amide bearing alkyl side chains - overall, in only 4 steps from aldehyde. The approach also addresses an underlying incompatibility between bromonitromethane and solid hydroxide bases.

Reversible Homolysis of a Carbon-Carbon σ-Bond Enabled by Complexation-Induced Bond-Weakening.

Project description:A case study of catalytic carbon-carbon σ-bond homolysis is presented. The coordination of a redox-active Lewis acid catalyst reduces the bond-dissociation free energies of adjacent carbon-carbon σ-bonds, and this complexation-induced bond-weakening is used to effect reversible carbon-carbon bond homolysis. Stereochemical isomerization of 1,2-disubstituted cyclopropanes was investigated as a model reaction with a ruthenium (III/II) redox couple adopted for bond weakening. Results from our mechanistic investigation into the stereospecificity of the isomerization reaction are consistent with selective complexation-induced carbon-carbon bond homolysis. The ΔG‡ of catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions were estimated to be 14.4 and 40.0 kcal/mol, respectively with the computational method, (U)PBE0-D3/def2-TZVPP-SMD(toluene)//(U)B3LYP-D3/def2-SVP. We report this work as the first catalytic example where the complexation-induced bond-weakening effect is quantified through transition state analysis.

Hydrogen-Bond-Enabled Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of Axially Chiral Amides Mediated by a Chiral Counterion.

Project description:Non-biaryl atropisomers are valuable in medicine, materials, and catalysis, but their enantioselective synthesis remains a challenge. Herein, a counterion-mediated O-alkylation method for the generation of atropisomeric amides with an er up to 99:1 is outlined. This dynamic kinetic resolution is enabled by the observation that the rate of racemization of atropisomeric naphthamides is significantly increased by the presence of an intramolecular O-H⋅⋅⋅NCO hydrogen bond. Upon O-alkylation of the H-bond donor, the barrier to rotation is significantly increased. Quantum calculations demonstrate that the intramolecular H-bond reduces the rotational barrier about the aryl-amide bond, stabilizing the planar transition state for racemization by approximately 40 kJ mol-1 , thereby facilitating the observed dynamic kinetic resolution.

Ketone Synthesis from Benzyldiboronates and Esters: Leveraging ?-Boryl Carbanions for Carbon-Carbon Bond Formation.

Project description:An alkoxide-promoted method for the synthesis of ketones from readily available esters and benzyldiboronates is described. The synthetic method is compatible with a host of sterically differentiated alkyl groups, alkenes, acidic protons ? to carbonyl groups, tertiary amides, and aryl rings having common organic functional groups. With esters bearing ?-stereocenters, high enantiomeric excess was maintained during ketone formation, establishing minimal competing racemization by deprotonation. Monitoring the reaction between benzyldiboronate and LiOtBu in THF at 23 °C allowed for the identification of products arising from deborylation to form an ?-boryl carbanion, deprotonation, and alkoxide addition to form an "-ate" complex. Addition of 4-trifluoromethylbenzoate to this mixture established the ?-boryl carbanion as the intermediate responsible for C-C bond formation and ultimately ketone synthesis. Elucidation of the role of this intermediate leveraged additional bond-forming chemistry and enabled the one-pot synthesis of ketones with ?-halogen atoms and quaternary centers with four-different carbon substituents.

Anion-Bridged Dual Hydrogen Bond Enabled Concerted Addition of Phenol to Glycal.

Project description:A noncovalent organocatalytic concerted addition of phenol to glycal is developed for the stereoselective and regioselective construction of biologically important phenolic 2-deoxyglycosides, featuring wide substrate tolerance. The method relies on an anion-bridged dual hydrogen bond interaction which is experimentally proved by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Ultraviolet and visible (UV-vis), and fluorescence analysis. Experimental evidence including kinetic analysis, Kinetic Isotope Effect (KIE) studies, linear free energy relationship, Hammett plot, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations is provided for a concerted mechanism where a high-energy oxocarbenium ion is not formed. In addition, the potential utility of this method is further demonstrated by the synthesis of biologically active glycosylated flavones. The benchmarking studies demonstrate significant advances in this newly developed method compared to previous approaches.

Stable gold(III) catalysts by oxidative addition of a carbon-carbon bond.

Project description:Low-valent late transition-metal catalysis has become indispensable to chemical synthesis, but homogeneous high-valent transition-metal catalysis is underdeveloped, mainly owing to the reactivity of high-valent transition-metal complexes and the challenges associated with synthesizing them. Here we report a carbon-carbon bond cleavage at ambient conditions by a Au(i) complex that generates a stable Au(iii) cationic complex. In contrast to the well-established soft and carbophilic Au(i) catalyst, this Au(iii) complex exhibits hard, oxophilic Lewis acidity. For example, we observed catalytic activation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes towards selective conjugate additions as well as activation of an unsaturated aldehyde-allene for a [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction. The origin of the regioselectivity and catalytic activity was elucidated by X-ray crystallographic analysis of an isolated Au(iii)-activated cinnamaldehyde intermediate. The concepts revealed suggest a strategy for accessing high-valent transition-metal catalysis from readily available precursors.

Complete diastereodivergence in asymmetric 1,6-addition reactions enabled by minimal modification of a chiral catalyst.

Project description:Catalytic systems that allow selective generation of any diastereomer of a reaction product bearing multiple stereocentres through minimal modification of a single catalyst scaffold remain elusive, particularly for carbon-carbon bond formations requiring simultaneous control of multiple selectivity factors. Here, we report a catalyst-directed pinpoint inversion of diastereochemical preference in the 1,6-addition of azlactones to δ-aryl dienyl carbonyl compounds with full control over other selectivities preserved. This rigorous diastereodivergence is enabled by the slight structural adjustment of a chiral iminophosphorane catalyst, providing access to all the stereoisomers with high regio-, distereo- and enantioselectivity. The utility of this method is demonstrated in the facile stereodivergent preparation of densely functionalized proline derivatives. The experimental and computational elucidation of the origin of the diastereodivergence is also reported.

Catalytic Carbon-Chlorine Bond Activation by Selenium-Based Chalcogen Bond Donors.

Project description:Chalcogen bonding is a noncovalent interaction based on electrophilic chalcogen substituents, which shares many similarities with the more well-known hydrogen and halogen bonding. Herein, the first application of selenium-based chalcogen bond donors in organocatalysis is described. Cationic bifunctionalized organoselenium compounds activate the carbon-chlorine bond of 1-chloroisochroman in a benchmark reaction. While imidazolium-based derivatives showed no noticeable activation, benzimidazolium backbones yielded potent catalysts. In all cases, syn-isomers were markedly more active, presumably due to bidentate coordination, which was confirmed by DFT calculations. Comparison experiments with the corresponding non-selenated as well as the non-cationic reference compounds clearly indicate that the catalytic activity can be ascribed to chalcogen bonding. The rate acceleration by the catalyst-compared to the non-selenated derivative-was about 10 fold.

The first chiral diene-based metal-organic frameworks for highly enantioselective carbon-carbon bond formation reactions.

Project description:We have designed the first chiral diene-based metal-organic framework (MOF), E2-MOF, and postsynthetically metalated E2-MOF with Rh(i) complexes to afford highly active and enantioselective single-site solid catalysts for C-C bond formation reactions. Treatment of E2-MOF with [RhCl(C2H4)2]2 led to a highly enantioselective catalyst for 1,4-additions of arylboronic acids to ?,?-unsaturated ketones, whereas treatment of E2-MOF with Rh(acac)(C2H4)2 afforded a highly efficient catalyst for the asymmetric 1,2-additions of arylboronic acids to aldimines. Interestingly, E2-MOF·Rh(acac) showed higher activity and enantioselectivity than the homogeneous control catalyst, likely due to the formation of a true single-site catalyst in the MOF. E2-MOF·Rh(acac) was also successfully recycled and reused at least seven times without loss of yield and enantioselectivity.

Cellulose-supported chiral rhodium nanoparticles as sustainable heterogeneous catalysts for asymmetric carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions.

Project description:Cellulose-supported chiral Rh nanoparticle (NP) catalysts have been developed. The Rh NPs, which were well dispersed on cellulose, catalyzed the asymmetric 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to enones and enoates, one of the representative asymmetric carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions, in the presence of chiral diene ligands, providing the corresponding adducts in high yields with outstanding enantioselectivities without metal leaching. The solid-state NMR analysis of the chiral NP system directly suggested interactions between the Rh NPs and the chiral ligand on cellulose. This is the first example of using polysaccharide-supported chiral metal nanoparticles for asymmetric carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions.
