Short and efficient syntheses of protoberberine alkaloids using palladium-catalyzed enolate arylation.

ABSTRACT: A concise synthesis of the biologically active alkaloid berberine is reported, and a versatile palladium-catalyzed enolate arylation is used to form the isoquinoline core. The overall yield of 50 % is a large improvement over the single, previous synthesis. By design, this modular route allows the rapid synthesis of other members of the protoberberine family (e.g., pseudocoptisine and palmatine) by substitution of the readily available aryl bromide and ketone coupling partners. Moreover, by combining enolate arylation with in situ functionalization, substituents can be rapidly and regioselectively introduced at the alkaloid C13 position, as demonstrated by the total synthesis of dehydrocorydaline. The avoidance of electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions to make the isoquinoline allows direct access to analogues possessing more varied electronic properties, such as the fluorine-containing derivative synthesized here.

Palladium-catalyzed ?-arylation of benzylic phosphonates.

Project description:A new synthetic route to access diarylmethyl phosphonates is presented. The transformation enables the introduction of aromatic groups on benzylic phosphonates via a deprotonative cross-coupling process (DCCP). The Pd(OAc)2/CataCXium A-based catalyst afforded a reaction between benzyl diisopropyl phosphonate derivatives and aryl bromides in good to excellent isolated yields (64-92%).

Palladium-catalyzed arylation of cyanamides.

Project description:The cross-coupling of alkyl cyanamides with a number of aryl, heteroaryl, and vinyl halide and pseudohalide coupling partners has been developed via a modification of Pd-catalyzed amidation methods. The reactions proceed selectively under mild conditions with reasonable reaction times in moderate to excellent yields.

Palladium-Catalyzed Arylation of Fluoroalkylamines.

Project description:We report the synthesis of fluorinated anilines by palladium-catalyzed coupling of fluoroalkylamines with aryl bromides and aryl chlorides. The products of these reactions are valuable because anilines typically require the presence of an electron-withdrawing substituent on nitrogen to suppress aerobic or metabolic oxidation, and the fluoroalkyl groups have steric properties and polarity distinct from those of more common electron-withdrawing amide and sulfonamide units. The fluoroalkylaniline products are unstable under typical conditions for C-N coupling reactions (heat and strong base). However, the reactions conducted with the weaker base KOPh, which has rarely been used in cross-coupling to form C-N bonds, occurred in high yield in the presence of a catalyst derived from commercially available AdBippyPhos and [Pd(allyl)Cl]2. Under these conditions, the reactions occur with low catalyst loadings (<0.50 mol % for most substrates) and tolerate the presence of various functional groups that react with the strong bases that are typically used in Pd-catalyzed C-N cross-coupling reactions of aryl halides. The resting state of the catalyst is the phenoxide complex, (BippyPhosPd(Ar)OPh); due to the electron-withdrawing property of the fluoroalkyl substituent, the turnover-limiting step of the reaction is reductive elimination to form the C-N bond.

Enantioselective total syntheses of (-)-taiwaniaquinone H and (-)-taiwaniaquinol B by iridium-catalyzed borylation and palladium-catalyzed asymmetric α-arylation.

Project description:We report a concise, enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-taiwaniaquinone H and the first enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-taiwaniaquinol B by a route that includes asymmetric palladium-catalyzed α-arylation of a ketone with an aryl bromide that was generated by sterically controlled halogenation via iridium-catalyzed C-H borylation. This asymmetric α-arylation creates the benzylic quaternary stereogenic center present in the taiwaniaquinoids. The synthesis was completed efficiently by developing a Lewis acid-promoted cascade to construct the [6,5,6] tricyclic core of an intermediate common to the synthesis of a number of taiwaniaquinoids. Through the preparation of these compounds, we demonstrate the utility of constructing benzylic quaternary stereogenic centers, even those lacking a carbonyl group in the α-position, by asymmetric α-arylation.

Palladium-Catalyzed ?-Arylation of ?-Keto Esters.

Project description:A catalyst system derived from commercially available Pd2(dba)3 and PtBu3 has been applied to the coupling of ?-keto ester enolates and aryl bromides. The reaction provides access to an array of ?-stereogenic ?-keto esters. When the air-stable ligand precursor PtBu3·HBF4 is employed, the reaction can be carried out without use of a glovebox. The derived products are of broad interest given the prevalence of the ?-keto acid substructure in biologically important molecules.

Palladium-Catalyzed ?-Arylation of Aryl Nitromethanes.

Project description:Catalytic conditions for the ?-arylation of aryl nitromethanes have been discovered using parallel microscale experimentation, despite two prior reports of the lack of reactivity of these aryl nitromethane precursors. The method efficiently provides a variety of substituted, isolable diaryl nitromethanes. In addition, it is possible to sequentially append two different aryl groups to nitromethane. Mild oxidation conditions were identified to afford the corresponding benzophenones via the Nef reaction, and reduction conditions were optimized to afford several diaryl methylamines.

The optimization of the reaction was guided by High-Throughput Experimentation (HTE) techniques.

Palladium-Catalyzed Regioselective Arylation of Unprotected Allylamines.

Project description:Palladium-catalyzed organometallic transformations of free amines are often unsuccessful due to side reactions, such as oxidation, that can occur. However, the ability to furnish the free amine products from these reactions is important for improving the utility and sustainability of these processes, especially for accessing their potential as medicinal and agrochemical agents. Notably, the 3,3-diarylallylamine motif is prevalent in a variety of biologically relevant structures, yet there are few catalytic approaches to their synthesis, and none involving the free amine. Herein, we describe a simple protocol for the arylation of cinnamylamines and the diarylation of terminal allylamines to generate a diverse group of 3,3-diarylallylamine products using a PdII precatalyst. Key features of the method are the ability to access relatively mild conditions that facilitate a broad substrate scope as well as direct diarylation of terminal allylamine substrates. In addition, several complex and therapeutically relevant molecules are included to demonstrate the utility of the transformation.
