Catalyst-Free Synthesis of Borylated Lactones from Esters via Electrophilic Oxyboration.

ABSTRACT: A catalyst-free oxyboration reaction of alkynes is developed. The resulting borylated isocoumarins and 2-pyrones are isolated as boronic acids, pinacolboronate esters, or potassium organotrifluoroborate salts, providing a variety of bench-stable organoboron building blocks for downstream functionalization. This method has functional group compatibility, is scalable, and proceeds with readily available materials: B-chlorocatecholborane and methyl esters. Mechanistic studies indicate that the B-chlorocatecholborane acts as a carbophilic Lewis acid toward the alkyne, providing a mechanistically distinct pathway for oxyboration that avoids B-O ? bond formation and enables this catalyst-free route.

Catalyst-Free Formal Thioboration to Synthesize Borylated Benzothiophenes and Dihydrothiophenes.

Project description:The first ring-forming thioboration reaction of C-C ? bonds is reported. This catalyst-free method proceeds in the presence of a commercially available external electrophilic boron source (B-chlorocatecholborane) in good to high yields. The method is scalable and tolerates a variety of functional groups that are intolerant of other major borylation methods. The resulting borylated benzothiophenes participate in a variety of in situ derivatization reactions, showcasing that these borylated intermediates do not need to be isolated prior to downstream functionalization. This methodology has been extended to the synthesis of borylated dihydrothiophenes. Mechanistic experiments suggest that the operative mechanistic pathway is through boron-induced activation of the alkyne followed by electrophilic cyclization, as opposed to S-B ? bond formation, providing a mechanistically distinct pathway to the thioboration of C-C ? bonds.

Direct Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis of Trifluoromethylated γ-Amino Esters/Lactones via Umpolung Strategy.

Project description:Enabled by the discovery of new cinchonium salts and coadditives, a direct and efficient asymmetric access to trifluoromethylated γ-amino esters/lactones has been realized through the enantioselective and diastereoselective umpolung reaction of trifluoromethyl imines with acrylates or α,β-unsaturated lactones as carbon electrophiles. At 0.5-5.0 mol % catalyst loadings, the newly developed catalytic system activates a variety of imine substrates as unconventional nucleophiles to mediate highly chemo-, regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective C-C bond forming reactions. The developed synthetic protocol represents an excellent strategy to target a series of versatile and enantiomerically enriched γ-amino esters/lactones in good to excellent yields from the readily available starting materials. Additionally, we found that the epi-vinyl catalysts based on cinchonidine and quinine promote a similarly high enantioselective reaction generating the opposite configuration of chiral products in a highly efficient manner, which allows convenient access to either the R- or S-enantiomer of the chiral amine products in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities.

Oxyboration with and without a Catalyst: Borylated Isoxazoles via B-O σ-Bond Addition.

Project description:Herein we report an oxyboration reaction with activated substrates that employs B-O σ bond additions to C-C π bonds to form borylated isoxazoles, which are potential building blocks for drug discovery. Although this reaction can be effectively catalyzed by gold, it is the first example of uncatalyzed oxyboration of C-C π bonds by B-O σ bonds--and only the second example that is catalyzed. This oxyboration reaction is tolerant of groups incompatible with alternative lithiation/borylation and palladium-catalyzed C-H activation/borylation technologies for the synthesis of borylated isoxazoles.

A green, economical synthesis of β-ketonitriles and trifunctionalized building blocks from esters and lactones.

Project description:The acylation of the acetonitrile anion with lactones and esters in ethereal solvents was successfully exploited using inexpensive KOt-Bu to obtain a variety of β-ketonitriles and trifunctionalized building blocks, including useful O-unprotected diols. It was discovered that lactones react to produce the corresponding derivatized cyclic hemiketals. Furthermore, the addition of a catalytic amount of isopropanol, or 18-crown-6, was necessary to facilitate the reaction and to reduce side-product formation under ambient conditions.

Electrophilic reactivities of cyclic enones and α,β-unsaturated lactones.

Project description:The reactivities of cyclic enones and α,β-unsaturated lactones were characterized by following the kinetics of their reactions with colored carbon-centered reference nucleophiles in DMSO at 20 °C. The experimentally determined second-order rate constants k 2 were analyzed with the Mayr-Patz equation, lg k = s N(N + E), to furnish the electrophilicity descriptors E for the Michael acceptors. Cyclic enones and lactones show different reactivity trends than their acyclic analogs. While cyclization reduces the reactivity of enones slightly, α,β-unsaturated lactones are significantly more reactive Michael acceptors than analogously substituted open-chain esters. The observed reactivity trends were rationalized through quantum-chemically calculated Gibbs energy profiles (at the SMD(DMSO)/M06-2X/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory) and distortion interaction analysis for the reactions of the cyclic Michael acceptors with a sulfonium ylide. The electrophilicities of simplified electrophilic fragments reflect the general reactivity pattern of structurally more complex terpene-derived cyclic enones and sesquiterpene lactones, such as parthenolide.

Stereoselective Synthesis of Highly Substituted 1,3-Dienes via "a la carte" Multifunctionalization of Borylated Dendralenes.

Project description:Despite the high relevance of 1,3-dienes, stereoselective methods to access tetrasubstituted conjugated dienes are still scarce. We here report an efficient and modular approach that provides access to multifunctional tetrasubstituted 1,3-dienes with excellent levels of regio- and stereoselectivity. This methodology is based on a tetracomponent reaction between a borylated dendralene, an organolithium reagent and two different electrophiles. Mechanistic studies reveal that this transformation proceeds through a regio- and stereoselective carbolithiation/electrophilic trapping of an in situ formed dendralenic boron-ate complex, followed by a stereoretentive halodeborylation. The ease in which complex structural dienes can be accessed and their synthetic versatility highlight the importance and utility of this method.
