Diels-Alder reactions of myrcene using intensified continuous-flow reactors.

ABSTRACT: This work describes the Diels-Alder reaction of the naturally occurring substituted butadiene, myrcene, with a range of different naturally occurring and synthetic dienophiles. The synthesis of the Diels-Alder adduct from myrcene and acrylic acid, containing surfactant properties, was scaled-up in a plate-type continuous-flow reactor with a volume of 105 mL to a throughput of 2.79 kg of the final product per day. This continuous-flow approach provides a facile alternative scale-up route to conventional batch processing, and it helps to intensify the synthesis protocol by applying higher reaction temperatures and shorter reaction times.

Continuous flow of nitroso Diels-Alder reaction.

Project description:Our flow reaction systems have provided quantitative yields of nitroso Diels-Alder products with no byproducts in cases of cyclic dienes without temperature and pressure controls. Additionally, the reaction times were significantly shortened by using homogeneous catalyst (CuCl) or heterogeneous reagent (MnO2) in comparison with batch reaction.

How Ionization Catalyzes Diels-Alder Reactions.

Project description:The catalytic effect of ionization on the Diels-Alder reaction between 1,3-butadiene and acrylaldehyde has been studied using relativistic density functional theory (DFT). Removal of an electron from the dienophile, acrylaldehyde, significantly accelerates the Diels-Alder reaction and shifts the reaction mechanism from concerted asynchronous for the neutral Diels-Alder reaction to stepwise for the radical-cation Diels-Alder reaction. Our detailed activation strain and Kohn-Sham molecular orbital analyses reveal how ionization of the dienophile enhances the Diels-Alder reactivity via two mechanisms: (i) by amplifying the asymmetry in the dienophile's occupied π-orbitals to such an extent that the reaction goes from concerted asynchronous to stepwise and thus with substantially less steric (Pauli) repulsion per reaction step; (ii) by enhancing the stabilizing orbital interactions that result from the ability of the singly occupied molecular orbital of the radical-cation dienophile to engage in an additional three-electron bonding interaction with the highest occupied molecular orbital of the diene.

Syntheses of new spirocarbocyclic nucleoside analogs using iminonitroso Diels-Alder reactions.

Project description:N-Cbz- and Boc-protected spirocyclic dienes were prepared by dialkylation of cyclopentadiene. These dienes coupled efficiently in a series of iminonitroso Diels-Alder reactions to produce a series of new spirocyclic adducts. Hydrogenolysis of these adducts afforded new spirocycles that contain multiple handles for further functionalization. Furthermore, stereocontrolled dihydroxylation and reductive cleavage of the spirocyclic adducts generated versatile scaffolds for the syntheses and derivatization of novel spirocyclic carbocyclic nucleoside analogs.

Dual Activation of Aromatic Diels-Alder Reactions.

Project description:The unusually fast Diels-Alder reactions of [5]cyclophanes were analyzed by DFT at the BLYP-D3(BJ)/TZ2P level of theory. The computations were guided by an integrated activation-strain and Kohn-Sham molecular orbital analysis. It is revealed why both [5]metacyclophane and [5]paracyclophane exhibit a significant rate enhancement compared to their planar benzene analogue. The activation strain analyses revealed that the enhanced reactivity originates from 1)?predistortion of the aromatic core resulting in a reduced activation strain of the aromatic diene, and/or 2)?enhanced interaction with the dienophile through a distortion-controlled lowering of the HOMO-LUMO gap within the diene. Both of these physical mechanisms and thus the rate of Diels-Alder cycloaddition can be tuned through different modes of geometrical distortion (meta versus para bridging) and by heteroatom substitution in the aromatic ring. Judicious choice of the bridge and heteroatom in the aromatic core enables effective tuning of the aromatic Diels-Alder reactivity to achieve activation barriers as low as 2?kcal?mol-1 , which is an impressive 35?kcal?mol-1 lower than that of benzene.

Intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions of cyclopropenone ketals.

Project description:The first intramolecular cycloaddition reactions of cyclopropenone ketals with tethered electron-deficient, electron-rich, and neutral 1-substituted dienes are reported, constituting inverse electron demand, normal, and neutral Diels-Alder reactions, that provide exclusively the exo [4 + 2] cycloaddition products without the intervention of [1 + 2], [3 + 2], or [3 + 4] cycloadducts in reactions whose courses do not depend on the reaction conditions, the diene activating substituent, or the nature of the tethering.

How Lewis Acids Catalyze Diels-Alder Reactions.

Project description:The Lewis acid(LA)-catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction between isoprene and methyl acrylate was investigated quantum chemically using a combined density functional theory and coupled-cluster theory approach. Computed activation energies systematically decrease as the strength of the LA increases along the series I2 <SnCl4 <TiCl4 <ZnCl2 <BF3 <AlCl3 . Emerging from our activation strain and Kohn-Sham molecular orbital bonding analysis was an unprecedented finding, namely that the LAs accelerate the Diels-Alder reaction by a diminished Pauli repulsion between the π-electron systems of the diene and dienophile. Our results oppose the widely accepted view that LAs catalyze the Diels-Alder reaction by enhancing the donor-acceptor [HOMOdiene -LUMOdienophile ] interaction and constitute a novel physical mechanism for this indispensable textbook organic reaction.

Efficient and Accurate Description of Diels-Alder Reactions Using Density Functional Theory.

Project description:Modeling chemical reactions using Quantum Chemistry is a widely used predictive strategy capable to complement experiments in order to understand the intrinsic mechanisms guiding the chemicals towards the most favorable reaction products. However, at this purpose, it is mandatory to use reliable and computationally tractable theoretical methods. In this work, we focus on six Diels-Alder reactions of increasing complexity and perform an extensive benchmark of middle- to low-cost computational approaches to predict the characteristic reactions energy barriers. We found that Density Functional Theory, using the ωB97XD, LC-ωPBE, CAM-B3LYP, M11 and MN12SX functionals, with empirical dispersion corrections coupled to an affordable 6-31G basis set, provides quality results for this class of reactions, at a small computational effort. Such efficient and reliable simulation protocol opens perspectives for hybrid QM/MM molecular dynamics simulations of Diels-Alder reactions including explicit solvation.

Continuous-flow retro-Diels-Alder reaction: an efficient method for the preparation of pyrimidinone derivatives.

Project description:The syntheses of various pyrimidinones as potentially bioactive products by means of the highly controlled continuous-flow retro-Diels-Alder reaction of condensed pyrimidinone derivatives are presented. Noteworthy, the use of this approach allowed us to rapidly screen a selection of conditions and quickly confirm the viability of preparing the desired pyrimidinones in short reaction times. Yields typically higher than those published earlier using conventional batch or microwave processes were achieved.

High stereoselectivity on low temperature Diels-Alder reactions.

Project description:We have found that some of the usually poor dienophiles (2-cycloenones) can undergo Diels-Alder reaction at -78 degrees C with unusually high stereoselectivity in the presence of niobium pentachloride as a Lewis acid catalyst. A remarkable difference in reaction rates for unsubstituted and alpha- or beta-methyl substituted 2-cycloenones was also observed.

Diels-Alder Reactions During the Biosynthesis of Sorbicillinoids.

Project description:The sorbicillinoids are a class of biologically active and structurally diverse fungal polyketides arising from sorbicillin. Through co-expression of sorA, sorB, sorC, and sorD from Trichoderma reesei QM6a, the biosynthetic pathway to epoxysorbicillinol and dimeric sorbicillinoids, which resemble Diels-Alder-like and Michael-addition-like products, was reconstituted in Aspergillus oryzae NSAR1. Expression and feeding experiments demonstrated the crucial requirement of the flavin-dependent monooxygenase SorD for the formation of dimeric sorbicillinoids, hybrid sorbicillinoids, and epoxysorbicillinol in?vivo. In contrast to prior reports, SorD catalyses neither the oxidation of 2',3'-dihydrosorbicillin to sorbicillin nor the oxidation of sorbicillinol to oxosorbicillinol. This is the first report that both the intermolecular Diels-Alder and Michael dimerization reactions, as well as the epoxidation of sorbicillinol are catalysed in?vivo by SorD.
