Selective synthesis of unsymmetric dibenzo[a,e]pentalenes by a rhodium-catalysed stitching reaction.

ABSTRACT: A rhodium-catalysed stitching reaction between 2-(silylethynyl)arylboronates and 2-(silylethynyl)aryl bromides has been developed for the synthesis of unsymmetric dibenzo[a,e]pentalenes. The introduction of appropriately sized silyl groups on the starting substrates led to a high crossover selectivity without using an excess amount of either substrate. The present stitching reaction could produce a variety of unsymmetric dibenzo[a,e]pentalene derivatives, including those with electronically different substituents on the fused benzene rings as well as heteroarene fused compounds. Desilylative halogenation was also demonstrated to synthesise the corresponding halogenated dibenzo[a,e]pentalenes, which can be used as building blocks for further chemical transformations.

Rhodium-catalysed selective C-C bond activation and borylation of cyclopropanes.

Project description:Transition metal (TM)-catalysed directed hydroboration of aliphatic internal olefins which facilitates the construction of complex alkylboronates is an essential synthetic methodology. Here, an efficient method for the borylation of cyclopropanes involving TM-catalysed directed C-C activation has been developed. Upon exposure to neutral Rh(i)-catalyst systems, N-Piv-substituted cyclopropylamines (CPAs) undergo proximal-selective hydroboration with HBpin to provide valuable γ-amino boronates in one step which are otherwise difficult to synthesize by known methods. The enantioenriched substrates can deliver chiral products without erosion of the enantioselectivities. Versatile synthetic utility of the obtained γ-amino boronates is also demonstrated. Experimental and computational mechanistic studies showed the preferred pathway and the origin of this selectivity. This study will enable the further use of CPAs as valuable building blocks for the tunable generation of C-heteroatom or C-C bonds through selective C-C bond activation.

Completely N1-selective palladium-catalyzed arylation of unsymmetric imidazoles: application to the synthesis of nilotinib.

Project description:The completely N(1)-selective Pd-catalyzed arylation of unsymmetric imidazoles with aryl halides and triflates is described. This study showed that imidazoles have a strong inhibitory effect on the in situ formation of the catalytically active Pd(0)-ligand complex. The efficacy of the N-arylation reaction was improved drastically by the use of a preactivated solution of Pd(2)(dba)(3) and L1. From these findings, it is clear that while imidazoles can prevent binding of L1 to Pd, once the ligand is bound to the metal, these heterocycles do not displace it. The utility of the present catalytic system was demonstrated by the regioselective synthesis of the clinically important tyrosine kinase inhibitor nilotinib.

Merging rhodium-catalysed C-H activation and hydroamination in a highly selective [4+2] imine/alkyne annulation.

Project description:Catalytic C-H activation and hydroamination represent two important strategies for eco-friendly chemical synthesis with high atom efficiency and reduced waste production. Combining both C-H activation and hydroamination in a cascade process, preferably with a single catalyst, would allow rapid access to valuable nitrogen-containing molecules from readily available building blocks. Here we report a single metal catalyst-based approach for N-heterocycle construction by tandem C-H functionalization and alkene hydroamination. A simple catalyst system of cationic rhodium(I) precursor and phosphine ligand promotes redox-neutral [4+2] annulation between N-H aromatic ketimines and internal alkynes to form multi-substituted 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines (DHIQs) in high chemoselectivity over competing annulation processes, exclusive cis-diastereoselectivity, and distinct regioselectivity for alkyne addition. This study demonstrates the potential of tandem C-H activation and alkene hydrofunctionalization as a general strategy for modular and atom-efficient assembly of six-membered heterocycles with multiple chirality centres.

Rhodium-catalysed ortho-alkynylation of nitroarenes.

Project description:The ortho-alkynylation of nitro-(hetero)arenes takes place in the presence of a Rh(iii) catalyst to deliver a wide variety of alkynylated nitroarenes regioselectively. These interesting products could be further derivatized by selective reduction of the nitro group or palladium-catalysed couplings. Experimental and computational mechanistic studies demonstrate that the reaction proceeds via a turnover-limiting electrophilic C-H metalation ortho to the strongly electron-withdrawing nitro group.

Selective Synthesis of N-Acylnortropane Derivatives in Palladium-Catalysed Aminocarbonylation.

Project description:The aminocarbonylation of various alkenyl and (hetero)aryl iodides was carried out using tropane-based amines of biological importance, such as 8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-one (nortropinone) and 3α-hydroxy-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane (nortropine) as N-nucleophile. Using iodoalkenes, the two nucleophiles were selectively converted to the corresponding amide in the presence of Pd(OAc)2/2 PPh3 catalysts. In the presence of several iodo(hetero)arenes, the application of the bidentate Xantphos was necessary to produce the target compounds selectively. The new carboxamides of varied structure, formed in palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation reactions, were isolated and fully characterized. In this way, a novel synthetic method has been developed for the producing of N-acylnortropane derivatives of biological importance.

Exploiting rhodium-catalysed ynamide hydroacylation as a platform for divergent heterocycle synthesis.

Project description:The first examples of ynamide hydroacylation are described. Using rhodium catalysis, linear ?-enaminone products are generated in high yield and excellent regioselectivity from the combination of aldehydes and ynamides. The enaminone products are subsequently used as a platform to construct a diverse array of substituted pyrazoles, pyrimidines, and isoxazoles in a two-step, one-pot sequence. It was found that with judicious choice of catalyst system it was possible to overturn the regioselectivity of the hydroacylation reaction to generate ?-enaminone products.

Rhodium-catalyzed endo-selective epoxide-opening cascades: formal synthesis of (-)-brevisin.

Project description:[Rh(CO)2Cl]2 is as an effective catalyst for endo-selective cyclizations and cascades of epoxy-(E)-enoate alcohols, thus enabling the synthesis of oxepanes and oxepane-containing polyethers from di- and trisubstituted epoxides. Syntheses of the ABC and EF ring systems of (-)-brevisin via all endo-diepoxide-opening cascades using this method constitute a formal total synthesis and demonstrate the utility of this methodology in the context of the synthesis of marine ladder polyether natural products.

Copper-catalysed low-temperature water-gas shift reaction for selective deuteration of aryl halides.

Project description:The introduction of deuterium atoms into organic compounds is of importance for basic chemistry, material sciences, and the development of drugs in the pharmaceutical industry, specifically for identification and quantification of metabolites. Hence, methodologies for the synthesis of selectively labelled compounds continue to be a major area of interest for many scientists. Herein, we present a practical and stable heterogeneous copper catalyst, which permits for dehalogenative deuteration via water-gas shift reaction at comparably low temperature. This novel approach allows deuteration of diverse (hetero)aryl halides with good functional group tolerance, and no reduction of the aromatic rings or other easily reducible formyl and cyano groups. Multi-gram experiments show the potential of this method in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry.
