Chromium photocatalysis: accessing structural complements to Diels-Alder adducts with electron-deficient dienophiles.

ABSTRACT: A chromium-catalyzed, visible light-activated net [4 + 2] cycloaddition between dienes and electron-deficient alkenes is described. Gathered evidence, via control experiments, isolated intermediates, and measured redox potentials, points to several converging reaction pathways that afford the cyclohexene adducts, including a photochemical [2 + 2] cycloaddition/vinylcyclobutane rearrangement cascade and a substrate excitation/oxidation sequence to a radical cation intermediate. Notably, the accompanying mechanistic stipulations result in a process that yields regioisomeric compounds from those generated by traditional Diels-Alder cycloadditions.

Chiral cyclopropenyl ketones: reactive and selective Diels-Alder dienophiles.

Project description:The synthesis and Diels-Alder reactions of cyclopropenyl ketones are described. Cyclopropenyl ketones are highly reactive dienophiles that can engage a range of cyclic dienes and 2,3-dimethylbutadiene. The strategy of using cyclopropenyl ketones to facilitate Diels-Alder reactions is not limited to products that contain three-membered rings, as reductive opening by SmI2 can be used to produce a product that lacks a cyclopropane but retains a quaternary stereogenic center.

Acylammonium salts as dienophiles in Diels-Alder/lactonization organocascades.

Project description:α,β-Unsaturated acylammonium salts, generated in situ from commodity acid chlorides and a chiral isothiourea organocatalyst, comprise a new and versatile family of chiral dienophiles for the venerable Diels-Alder (DA) cycloaddition. Their reactivity is unveiled through a highly diastereo- and enantioselective Diels-Alder/lactonization organocascade that generates cis- and trans-fused bicyclic γ- and δ-lactones bearing up to four contiguous stereocenters. Moreover, the first examples of DA-initiated, stereodivergent organocascades are described delivering complex scaffolds found in bioactive compounds. The origins of stereoselectivity are rationalized through computational studies. In addition, the utility of this methodology is demonstrated through a concise approach to the core structure of glaciolide and formal syntheses of fraxinellone, trisporic acids, and trisporols.

Vinylazaarenes as dienophiles in Lewis acid-promoted Diels-Alder reactions.

Project description:Described are the first examples of Lewis acid-promoted Diels-Alder reactions of vinylpyridines and other vinylazaarenes with unactivated dienes. Cyclohexyl-appended azaarenes constitute a class of substructures of rising prominence in drug discovery. Despite this, thermal variants of the vinylazaarene Diels-Alder reaction are rare and have not been adopted for synthesis, and Lewis acid-promoted variants are virtually unexplored. The presented work addresses this gap and in the process furnishes increased scope, dramatically higher yields, improved regioselectivity, and high levels of diastereoselectivity compared to prior thermal examples. These reactions provide scalable access to druglike scaffolds not readily available through other methods. More broadly, these studies establish a useful new class of dienophiles that, based on preliminary mechanistic studies, should be amenable to conventional strategies for enantioselective catalysis.

Halocycloalkenones as Diels-Alder dienophiles. Applications to generating useful structural patterns.

Project description:Halocycloalkenones are demonstrated to function as potent dienophiles in inter- and intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloadditions. We have found 2-brominated cycloalkenone dienophiles to be both highly endo selective and significantly more reactive than their nonhalogenated parent compounds. A method for the facile conversion of brominated cyclobutanone DA adducts to synthetically useful cyclopropyl functional handles is described.

Hetero-Diels-Alder reactions of hetaryl and aryl thioketones with acetylenic dienophiles.

Project description:Selected hetaryl and aryl thioketones react with acetylenecarboxylates under thermal conditions in the presence of LiClO4 or, alternatively, under high-pressure conditions (5 kbar) at room temperature yielding thiopyran derivatives. The hetero-Diels-Alder reaction occurs in a chemo- and regioselective manner. The initially formed [4 + 2] cycloadducts rearrange via a 1,3-hydrogen shift sequence to give the final products. The latter were smoothly oxidized by treatment with mCPBA to the corresponding sulfones.

Radical cation Diels-Alder cycloadditions by visible light photocatalysis.

Project description:Ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes promote the efficient radical cation Diels-Alder cycloaddition of electron-rich dienophiles upon irradiation with visible light. These reactions enable facile [4 + 2] cycloadditions that would be electronically mismatched under thermal conditions. Key to the success of this methodology is the availability of ligand-modified ruthenium complexes that enable rational tuning of the electrochemical properties of the catalyst without significantly perturbing the overall photophysical properties of the system.

Visible light photocatalysis of intramolecular radical cation Diels-Alder cycloadditions.

Project description:Intramolecular radical cation Diels-Alder reactions can be conducted under photocatalytic conditions using visible light irradiation. The photocatalyst system involves the use of a Ru(bpy)(3) (2+) chromophore and methyl viologen as a co-oxidant. These reactions enable the cycloaddition of substrates whose thermal Diels-Alder cycloadditions are electronically mismatched and thus require forcing conditions. Nevertheless, the radical cation cycloadditions can be conducted on gram scale using ambient sunlight as the only source of irradiation.

Diels-Alder Adducts of Morphinan-6,8-Dienes and Their Transformations.

Project description:6,14-ethenomorphinans are semisynthetic opiate derivatives containing an ethylene bridge between positions 6 and 14 in ring-C of the morphine skeleton that imparts a rigid molecular structure. These compounds represent an important family of opioid receptor ligands in which the 6,14-etheno bridged structural motif originates from a [4 + 2] cycloaddition of morphinan-6,8-dienes with dienophiles. Certain 6,14-ethenomorphinans having extremely high affinity for opioid receptors are often non-selective for opioid receptor subtypes, but this view is now undergoing some revision. The agonist 20R-etorphine and 20R-dihydroetorphine are several thousand times more potent analgesics than morphine, whereas diprenorphine is a high-affinity non-selective antagonist. The partial agonist buprenorphine is used as an analgesic in the management of post-operative pain or in substitution therapy for opiate addiction, sometimes in combination with the non-selective antagonist naloxone. In the context of the current opioid crisis, we communicated a summary of several decades of work toward generating opioid analgesics with lesser side effects or abuse potential. Our summary placed a focus on Diels-Alder reactions of morphinan-6,8-dienes and subsequent transformations of the cycloadducts. We also summarized the pharmacological aspects of radiolabeled 6,14-ethenomorphinans used in molecular imaging of opioid receptors.

Diels-Alder exo selectivity in terminal-substituted dienes and dienophiles: experimental discoveries and computational explanations.

Project description:The Diels-Alder reactions of a series of silyloxydienes and silylated dienes with acyclic alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones and N-acyloxazolidinones have been investigated. The endo/exo stereochemical outcome is strongly influenced by the substitution pattern of the reactants. High exo selectivity was observed when the termini of the diene and the dienophile involved in the shorter of the forming bonds were both substituted, while the normal endo preference was found otherwise. The exo-selective asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions using Evans' oxazolidinone chiral auxiliary furnished a high level of pi-facial selectivity in the same sense as their well-documented endo-selective counterparts. Computational results for these Diels-Alder reactions were consistent with the experimental endo/exo selectivity in most cases. A twist-asynchronous model accounts for the geometries and energies of the computed transition structures.

Micro-flow photosynthesis of new dienophiles for inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder reactions. Potential applications for pretargeted <i>in vivo</i> PET imaging.

Project description:Pretargeted PET imaging has emerged as an effective two-step in vivo approach that combines the superior affinity and selectivity of antibodies with the rapid pharmacokinetics and favorable dosimetry of smaller molecules radiolabeled with short-lived radionuclides. This approach can be based on the bioorthogonal inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction between tetrazines and trans-cyclooctene (TCO) derivatives. We aimed to develop new [18F]TCO-dienophiles with high reactivity for IEDDA reactions, and favorable in vivo stability and pharmacokinetics. New dienophiles were synthesized using an innovative micro-flow photochemistry process, and their reaction kinetics with a tetrazine were determined. In vivo stability and biodistribution of the most promising 18F-radiolabeled-TCO-derivative ([18F]3) was investigated, and its potential for in vivo pretargeted PET imaging was assessed in tumor-bearing mice. We demonstrated that [18F]3 is a suitable dienophile for IEDDA reactions and for pretargeting applications.
