Synthesis of cyclic alkenylsiloxanes by semihydrogenation: a stereospecific route to (Z)-alkenyl polyenes.

ABSTRACT: Cyclic alkenylsiloxanes were synthesized by semihydrogenation of alkynylsilanes-a reaction previously plagued by poor stereoselectivity. The silanes, which can be synthesized on multigram scale, undergo Hiyama-Denmark coupling to give (Z)-alkenyl polyene motifs found in bioactive natural products. The ring size of the silane is crucial: five-membered cyclic siloxanes also couple under fluoride-free conditions, whilst their six-membered homologues do not, enabling orthogonality within this structural motif.

Convergent and stereospecific synthesis of complex skipped polyenes and polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Project description:Skipped polyenes (that is, 1,4-dienes and higher homologues) are stereodefined components of a vast array of biologically important natural products, including polyunsaturated fatty acids. Although widespread in nature, these architectures are generally considered to represent significant barriers to efficient chemical synthesis. Partial reduction of skipped poly-ynes provides a pathway to a subset of such structures, but general chemical methods for the preparation of skipped polyenes that contain varied stereochemistries and substitution patterns are lacking. Here, we describe a metal-promoted reductive cross-coupling reaction between vinylcyclopropanes and alkynes (or vinylsilanes) that provides stereoselective access to a diverse array of skipped polyenes through a process that establishes one C-C bond, generates up to three stereodefined alkenes, and can be used to introduce stereogenic centres at the central positions of the skipped polyene motif. We also demonstrate the significance of the present bond construction by preparing substituted and stereodefined polyunsaturated synthetic fatty acids.

Synthesis of Cyclic ?-Silylalkenyl Triflates via an Alkenyl Cation Intermediate.

Project description:Trimethylsilylalkyne derivatives are transformed into cyclic ?-silylalkenyl triflates through cationic cyclization and subsequent trapping of the alkenyl cation by a triflate anion. ?-Silylcyclohexenyl triflates and 3-trimethylsilyl-1,4-dihydronaphth-2-yl triflates are generated efficiently using this methodology. These products provide ready access to substituted cyclohexynes, exemplified by a concise total synthesis of ?-apopicropodophyllin.

Exploring a Route to Cyclic Acenes by On-Surface Synthesis.

Project description:A route to generate cyclacenes by on-surface synthesis is explored. We started by synthesizing two tetraepoxycyclacenes by sequences of Diels-Alder cycloadditions. Subsequently, these molecules were deposited onto Cu(111) and scanning-tunneling-microscopy(STM)-based atom manipulation was employed to dissociate the oxygen atoms. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) with CO-functionalized tips enabled the detailed characterization of the reaction products and revealed that, at most, two oxygens per molecule could be removed. Importantly, our experimental results suggest that the generation of cyclacenes by the described route might be possible for larger epoxycyclacenes.

Total synthesis of lissodendoric acid A via stereospecific trapping of a strained cyclic allene.

Project description:Small rings that contain allenes are unconventional transient compounds that have been known since the 1960s. Despite being discovered around the same time as benzyne and offering a number of synthetically advantageous features, strained cyclic allenes have seen relatively little use in chemical synthesis. We report a concise total synthesis of the manzamine alkaloid lissodendoric acid A, which hinges on the development of a regioselective, diastereoselective, and stereospecific trapping of a fleeting cyclic allene intermediate. This key step swiftly assembles the azadecalin framework of the natural product, allows for a succinct synthetic endgame, and enables a 12-step total synthesis (longest linear sequence; 0.8% overall yield). These studies demonstrate that strained cyclic allenes are versatile building blocks in chemical synthesis.

Stereospecific cross-coupling of alpha-(thiocarbamoyl)organostannanes with alkenyl, aryl, and heteroaryl iodides.

Project description:Racemic and scalemic PTC-protected alpha-hydroxystannanes cross-couple with alkenyl/aryl/heteroaryl iodides in moderate to good yields using copper(I) thiophene-2-carboxylate (CuTC) in THF at or below room temperature. Simple aryl iodides and 1-iodocyclohexene, two classes of electrophiles that typically react sluggishly, are also good substrates. Cross-couplings proceed with retention of configuration at the alkenyl- and stannyl-substituted stereocenters.

Alkenyl Isocyanide Conjugate Additions: A Rapid Route to γ-Carbolines.

Project description:Isocyanides are exceptional building blocks, the wide deployment of which in multicomponent and metal-insertion reactions belies their limited availability. The first conjugate addition/alkylation to alkenyl isocyanides is described, which addresses this deficiency. An array of organolithiums, magnesiates, enolates, and metalated nitriles add conjugately to β- and β,β-disubstituted arylsulfonyl alkenyl isocyanides to rapidly assemble diverse isocyanide scaffolds. The intermediate metalated isocyanides are efficiently trapped with electrophiles to generate substituted isocyanides incorporating contiguous tri- and tetra-substituted centers. The substituted isocyanides are ideally functionalized for elaboration into synthetic targets as illustrated by the three-step synthesis of γ-carboline N-methyl ingenine B.

Synthesis of 2-Alkenyl-Tethered Anilines.

Project description:Three general routes for the synthesis of (E)-2-alkenyl-tethered anilines have been developed. The first route involves a 3-aza-Cope rearrangement of N-allylic anilines in the presence of a Lewis acid. The requisite N-allylic anilines were prepared by the addition of vinyl-magnesium reagents to the corresponding aldimines. The second route details a direct cross-metathesis of 2-allylic or 2-homoallylic anilines with styrenes. The third route involves a palladium-catalyzed C-N cross-coupling of aryl halides. Taken together, these three strategies allowed access to the requisite aniline substrates with pendant alkenes at the 2-position with excellent trans selectivities.

Borylation and rearrangement of alkynyloxiranes: a stereospecific route to substituted α-enynes.

Project description:1,3-Enynes are important building blocks in organic synthesis and also constitute the key motif in various bioactive natural products and functional materials. However, synthetic approaches to stereodefined substituted 1,3-enynes remain a challenge, as they are limited to Wittig and cross-coupling reactions. Herein, stereodefined 1,3-enynes, including tetrasubstituted ones, were straightforwardly synthesized from cis or trans-alkynylated oxiranes in good to excellent yields by a one-pot cascade process. The procedure relies on oxirane deprotonation, borylation and a stereospecific rearrangement of the so-formed alkynyloxiranyl borates. This stereospecific process overall transfers the cis or trans-stereochemistry of the starting alkynyloxiranes to the resulting 1,3-enynes.

An Economical Route to Lamivudine Featuring a Novel Strategy for Stereospecific Assembly.

Project description:An economical synthesis of lamivudine was developed by employing a new method to establish the stereochemistry about the heterocyclic oxathiolane ring. Toward this end, an inexpensive and readily accessible lactic acid derivative served the dual purpose of activating the carbohydrate's anomeric center for N-glycosylation and transferring stereochemical information to the substrate simultaneously. Both enantiomers of the lactic acid derivative are available, and either β-enantiomer in this challenging class of 2'-deoxynucleoside active pharmaceutical ingredients can be formed.
