Copper-Catalyzed Borylative Aromatization of p-Quinone Methides: Enantioselective Synthesis of Dibenzylic Boronates.

ABSTRACT: In this report, we establish that DM-Segphos copper(I) complexes are efficient catalysts for the enantioselective borylation of para-quinone methides. This method provides straightforward access to chiral monobenzylic and dibenzylic boronic esters, with enantiomeric ratios up to 96:4, using a commercially available chiral phosphine. Standard manipulations of the C-B bond afford a variety of chiral diaryl derivatives.

Enantioselective addition of boronates to o-quinone methides catalyzed by chiral biphenols.

Project description:Chiral biphenols were found to catalyze the enantioselective asymmetric addition of aryl- or alkenylboronates to o-quinone methides. Substituted 2-styryl phenols were obtained in good yields (up to 95%) with high enantiomeric ratios (up to 98:2) in the presence of 10 mol % 3,3'-Br(2)-BINOL. A two-step synthesis of (S)-4-methoxydalbergione in good yield and selectivity was achieved.

Enantioselective Copper-Catalyzed Borylative Cyclization for the Synthesis of Quinazolinones.

Project description:Quinazolinones are common substructures in molecules of medicinal importance. We report an enantioselective copper-catalyzed borylative cyclization for the assembly of privileged pyrroloquinazolinone motifs. The reaction proceeds with high enantio- and diastereocontrol, and can deliver products containing quaternary stereocenters. The utility of the products is demonstrated through further manipulations.

Copper-Hydride-Catalyzed Enantioselective Processes with Allenyl Boronates. Mechanistic Nuances, Scope, and Utility in Target-Oriented Synthesis.

Project description:Synthesis of complex bioactive molecules is substantially facilitated by transformations that efficiently and stereoselectively generate polyfunctional compounds. Designing such processes is hardly straightforward, however, especially when the desired route runs counter to the inherently favored reactivity profiles. Furthermore, in addition to being efficient and stereoselective, it is crucial that the products generated can be easily and stereodivergently modified. Here, we introduce a catalytic process that delivers versatile and otherwise difficult-to-access organoboron entities by combining an allenylboronate, a hydride, and an allylic phosphate. Two unique selectivity problems had to be solved: avoiding rapid side reaction of a Cu-H complex with an allylic phosphate, while promoting its addition to an allenylboronate as opposed to the commonly utilized boron-copper exchange. The utility of the approach is demonstrated by applications to concise preparation of the linear fragment of pumiliotoxin B (myotonic, cardiotonic) and enantioselective synthesis and structure confirmation of netamine C, a member of a family of anti-tumor and anti-malarial natural products. Completion of the latter routes required the following noteworthy developments: (1) a two-step all-catalytic sequence for conversion of a terminal alkene to a monosubstituted alkyne; (2) a catalytic SN2'- and enantioselective allylic substitution method involving a mild alkylzinc halide reagent; and (3) a diastereoselective [3+2]-cycloaddition to assemble the polycyclic structure of a guanidyl polycyclic natural product.

Isothiourea-Catalyzed Enantioselective α-Alkylation of Esters via 1,6-Conjugate Addition to para-Quinone Methides.

Project description:The isothiourea-catalyzed enantioselective 1,6-conjugate addition of para-nitrophenyl esters to 2,6-disubstituted para-quinone methides is reported. para-Nitrophenoxide, generated in situ from initial N-acylation of the isothiourea by the para-nitrophenyl ester, is proposed to facilitate catalyst turnover in this transformation. A range of para-nitrophenyl ester products can be isolated, or derivatized in situ by addition of benzylamine to give amides at up to 99% yield. Although low diastereocontrol is observed, the diastereoisomeric ester products are separable and formed with high enantiocontrol (up to 94:6 er).

Copper-Catalyzed Enantioselective Borylative Allyl-Allyl Coupling of Allenes and Allylic gem-Dichlorides.

Project description:A catalytic asymmetric reaction between allenes, bis(pinacolato)diboron, and allylic gem-dichlorides is reported. The method involves the coupling of a catalytically generated allyl copper species with the allylic gem-dichloride and provides chiral internal 1,5-dienes featuring (Z)-configured alkenyl boronate and alkenyl chloride units with high levels of chemo-, regio-, enantio-, and diastereoselectivity. The synthetic utility of the products is demonstrated with the synthesis of a range of optically active compounds. DFT calculations reveal key noncovalent substrate-ligand interactions that account for the enantioselectivity outcome and the diastereoselective formation of the (Z)-alkenyl chloride.

Harnessing quinone methides: total synthesis of (±)-vaticanol?A.

Project description:Although quinone methides are often postulated as intermediates in the biosynthesis of many polyphenolic natural products, deploying their power in a laboratory setting to achieve similar bond constructions has sometimes proven challenging. Herein, a total synthesis of the resveratrol trimer vaticanol A has been achieved through three instances of quinone methide chemistry. These operations, one of which succeeded only under very specific conditions, expediently generated its [7,5]-carbocyclic core, afforded a unique sequence for dihydrobenzofuran formation, and concurrently generated, in addition to the target molecule, a series of diastereomers reflective of many other isolates.

Synthesis of cyclic chiral ?-amino boronates by copper-catalyzed asymmetric dearomative borylation of indoles.

Project description:A copper(i)-catalyzed dearomative borylation of N-alkoxycarbonyl protected indole-3-carboxylates has been developed. The boron addition in this reaction occurred regioselectively at the 2-position of indoles followed by diastereoselective protonation, affording the corresponding stable cyclic chiral ?-amino boronates (2-borylindolines) in moderate to good yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities. The product 2c could be used as a versatile precursor to undergo subsequent stereoselective transformations, delivering highly functionalized 2,3,3-trisubstituted chiral indolines.
