N-Heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed enantioselective annulations: a dual activation strategy for a formal [4+2] addition for dihydrocoumarins.

ABSTRACT: A highly efficient asymmetric formal [4+2] annulation for the synthesis of dihydrocoumarins has been developed via an in situ activated NHC catalysis. Both electrophilic and nucleophilic species are generated in situ simultaneously whereby acyl imidazoles facilitated rapid formation of an NHC-enolate intermediate to afford the [4+2] dihydrocoumarin adducts.

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 ?,?-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.

A tandem dearomatization/rearomatization strategy: enantioselective N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed α-arylation.

Project description:In this study, the first example of the carbene-catalyzed tandem dearomatization/rearomatization reaction of azonaphthalenes with α-chloroaldehydes is described. This protocol enables the efficient assembly of chiral dihydrocinnolinone derivatives in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). Moreover, this strategy enables not only the highly enantioselective NHC-catalyzed nucleophilic aromatic substitution, but also a formal Csp2-Csp3 bond formation.

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.

Chiral N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed Annulations of Enals and Ynals with Stable Enols: A Highly Enantioselective Coates-Claisen Rearrangement.

Project description:A combination of a chiral N-heterocyclic carbene catalyst and ?,?-unsaturated aldehyde leads to a catalytically generated ?,?-unsaturated acyl azolium, which participates in a highly enantioselective annulation to give dihydropyranone products. This full account of our investigations into the scope and mechanism of this reaction reveals the critical role of both the type and substitution pattern of the chiral triazolium precatalyst in inducing and controlling the stereochemistry. In an effort to explain why stable enols such as naphthol, kojic acid, and dicarbonyl are uniquely efficient, we have postulated that this annulation occurs via a Coates-Claisen rearrangement that invokes the formation of a hemiacetal prior to a sigmatropic rearrangement. Detailed kinetic investigations of the catalytic annulation are consistent with this mechanistic postulate.

Project description:Add acetic acid: A highly stereoselective N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed formal [4+2] annulation between ?,?-unsaturated aldehydes and imidazolidinones for the synthesis of imidazoles has been developed. Acetic acid serves as a key additive to achieve high chemoselectivity for the formal [4+2]?annulation product.

N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed enantioselective Mannich reactions with alpha-aryloxyacetaldehydes.

Project description:N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) catalyze a new Mannich-type reaction to form beta-amino acid derivatives in high yield and enantioselectivity. The reaction is initiated by the addition of an NHC to an alpha-aryloxyaldehyde followed by elimination of a phenoxide anion which generates an enol/enolate. A Mannich addition to a tosylimine proceeds with excellent control over enantioselectivity. In a new carbene catalysis concept, catalyst regeneration is promoted by return, or rebound, and acylation of the phenoxide group which served as the activating component in the first step of the catalytic cycle. The activated ester products formed in situ are manipulated to form a variety of useful compounds including beta-amino acids, beta-amino amides, and peptides.

Enantioselective <i>N</i>-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed nucleophilic dearomatization of alkyl pyridiniums.

Project description:NHC-catalyzed nucleophilic dearomatization of alkyl pyridiniums has been achieved to generate 1,4-dihydropyridines with high enantioselectivity. This is a rare example of catalytic, asymmetric addition of a nucleophile to the activated pyridinium that prefers C-4 functionalization leading to the 1,4-dihydropyridine with high selectivity.

N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed Enantioselective Annulation of Benzothiazolyl Ethyl Acetates with 2-Bromoenals.

Project description:An N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzed enantioselective [3+3] annulation of benzothiazolyl acetates with 2-bromoenals has been developed. The protocol provides a direct asymmetric synthesis of dihydro-1H-benzothiazolopyridinones in good to very good yields and medium ee values. In many cases, the virtually enantiopure heterocycles are available through a single recrystallization (99% ee).

N-Heterocyclic carbene based catalytic platform for Hauser-Kraus annulations.

Project description:The venerable Hauser-Kraus annulation is an effective and convergent method for generating oxygenated polycyclic aromatic compounds. Despite its application in complex molecule synthesis, the harsh and strongly basic conditions can limit its utility in more functionalized molecular settings. We have developed the first catalytic Hauser-Kraus annulation based on N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis that proceeds under milder conditions. We demonstrate the scope of the transformation in the presence of several functional groups. We also propose a concerted mechanism for the annulation that proceeds through a non-canonical Breslow intermediate.

Highly enantioselective sulfa-Michael addition reactions using N-heterocyclic carbene as a non-covalent organocatalyst.

Project description:We report the first asymmetric sulfa-Michael addition (SMA) reactions using a chiral N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) as a non-covalent organocatalyst. We demonstrate that a triazolium salt derived NHC functions as an excellent Brønsted base to promote enantioselective carbon-sulfur bond formation. The reaction is applicable to a wide range of thiols and electrophilic olefins. Notably, quaternary chiral centers bearing both an S atom and a CF3 group were synthesized with excellent asymmetric control. Mechanistic studies suggest that the facial discrimination is likely to be guided by non-covalent interactions: hydrogen bonding and ?-? stacking.
