Enantioselective Synthesis of ?-Fluoro Amines via ?-Amino ?-Fluoro Nitroalkanes and a Traceless Activating Group Strategy.

ABSTRACT: Preparation of a range of enantioenriched ?-fluoro amines (?,?-disubstituted) is described in which the nitrogen and fluorine atoms are attached to sp3-hybridized carbons. The key finding is a chiral bifunctional Brønsted acid/base catalyst that can deliver ?-amino-?-fluoro nitroalkanes with high enantio- and diastereoselection. A denitration step renders the nitro group "traceless" and delivers secondary, tertiary, or vinyl alkyl fluorides embedded within a vicinal fluoro amine functional group. A synthesis of each possible stereoisomer of a ?-fluoro lanicemine illustrates the potential ease with which fluorinated small molecules relevant to neuroscience drug development can be prepared in a stereochemically comprehensive manner.

Enantioselective Synthesis of Allenes by Catalytic Traceless Petasis Reactions.

Project description:Allenes are useful functional groups in synthesis as a result of their inherent chemical properties and established reactivity patterns. One property of chemical bonding renders 1,3-substituted allenes chiral, making them attractive targets for asymmetric synthesis. While there are many enantioselective methods to synthesize chiral allenes from chiral starting materials, fewer methods exist to directly synthesize enantioenriched chiral allenes from achiral precursors. We report here an asymmetric boronate addition to sulfonyl hydrazones catalyzed by chiral biphenols to access enantioenriched allenes in a traceless Petasis reaction. The resulting Mannich product from nucleophilic addition eliminates sulfinic acid, yielding a propargylic diazene that performs an alkyne walk to afford the allene. Two enantioselective approaches have been developed; alkynyl boronates add to glycolaldehyde imine to afford allylic hydroxyl allenes, and allyl boronates add to alkynyl imines to form 1,3-alkenyl allenes. In both cases, the products are obtained in high yields and enantioselectivities.

Simple strategy for synthesis of optically active allylic alcohols and amines by using enantioselective organocatalysis.

Project description:A simple organocatalytic one-pot protocol for the construction of optically active allylic alcohols and amines using readily available reactants and catalyst is presented. The described reaction is enabled by an enantioselective enone epoxidation/aziridination-Wharton-reaction sequence affording two highly privileged and synthetically important classes of compounds in an easy and benign way. The advantages of the described sequence include easy generation of stereogenic allylic centers, also including quaternary stereocenters, with excellent enantio- and diastereomeric-control and high product diversity. Furthermore, using monosubstituted enones as substrates, having moderate enantiomeric excess, the one-pot reaction sequence proceeds with an enantioenrichment of the products and high diastereoselectivity was achieved.

Traceless Redox-Annulations of Alicyclic Amines.

Project description:Amines such as 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline undergo redox-neutral annulations with ortho-(nitromethyl)benzaldehyde. Benzoic acid acts as a promoter in these reactions, which involve concurrent amine α-C-H bond and N-H bond functionalization. Subsequent removal of the nitro group provides access to tetrahydroprotoberberines not accessible via typical redox-annulations. Also reported are decarboxylative annulations of ortho-(nitromethyl)benzaldehyde with proline and pipecolic acid.

Nitroalkanes as Versatile Nucleophiles for Enzymatic Synthesis of Noncanonical Amino Acids.

Project description:C-C bond-forming reactions often require nucleophilic carbon species rarely compatible with aqueous reaction media, thus restricting their appearance in biocatalysis. Here we report the use of nitroalkanes as a structurally versatile class of nucleophilic substrates for C-C bond formation catalyzed by variants of the ?-subunit of tryptophan synthase (TrpB). The enzymes accept a wide range of nitroalkanes to form noncanonical amino acids, here the nitro group can serve as a handle for further modification. Using nitroalkane nucleophiles greatly expands the scope of compounds made by TrpB variants and establishes nitroalkanes as a valuable substrate class for biocatalytic C-C bond formation.

Enantioselective synthesis of biphenols from 1,4-diketones by traceless central-to-axial chirality exchange.

Project description:A method for the enantioselective synthesis of biphenols from readily prepared 1,4-diketones is reported. Key to the success of this method is the highly selective transfer of central to axial chirality during a double aromatization event triggered by BF(3)·OEt(2). On the basis of X-ray crystallographic data, a stereochemical model for this chirality exchange process is put forth.

Traceless Rhodium-Catalyzed Hydroacylation Using Alkyl Aldehydes: The Enantioselective Synthesis of β-Aryl Ketones.

Project description:A one-pot three-step sequence involving Rh-catalyzed alkene hydroacylation, sulfide elimination and Rh-catalyzed aryl boronic acid conjugate addition gave products of traceless chelation-controlled hydroacylation employing alkyl aldehydes. The stereodefined β-aryl ketones were obtained in good yields with excellent control of enantioselectivity. Good variation of all three reaction components is possible.

Project description:A new approach toward the asymmetric synthesis of optically active trifluoromethylated amines was enabled by an unprecedented, highly enantioselective catalytic isomerization of trifluoromethyl imines with a new chiral organic catalyst. Not only aryl but also alkyl trifluoromethylated amines could be obtained in high enantioselectivities.

Diastereo- and Enantioselective Synthesis of Homoallylic Amines Bearing Quaternary Carbon Centers.

Project description:A Cu-catalyzed method for the efficient enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of chiral homoallylic amines bearing a quaternary carbon and an alkenylboron is disclosed. Transformations are promoted by a readily prepared (phosphoramidite)-Cu complex and involve bench-stable γ,γ-disubstituted allyldiborons and benzyl imines; products are obtained in up to 82% yield, >20:1 dr, and >99:1 er. Reactions proceed via stereodefined boron-stabilized allylic Cu species formed by an enantioselective transmetalation. Utility of the 1-amino-3-alkenylboronate products is highlighted by a variety of synthetic transformations.

Enantioselective Synthesis of Chiral Amines via Biocatalytic Carbene N-H Insertion.

Project description:Optically active amines represent highly valuable building blocks for the synthesis of advanced pharmaceutical intermediates, drug molecules, and biologically active natural products. Hemoproteins have recently emerged as promising biocatalysts for the formation of C-N bonds via carbene transfer, but asymmetric N-H carbene insertion reactions using these or other enzymes have so far been elusive. Here, we report the successful development of a biocatalytic strategy for the asymmetric N-H carbene insertion of aromatic amines with 2-diazopropanoate esters using engineered variants of myoglobin. High activity and stereoinduction in this reaction could be achieved by tuning the chiral environment around the heme cofactor in the metalloprotein in combination with catalyst-matching and tailoring of the diazo reagent. Using this approach, an efficient biocatalytic protocol for the synthesis of a broad range of substituted aryl amines with up to 82% ee was obtained. In addition, a stereocomplementary catalyst useful for accessing the mirror-image form of the N-H insertion products was identified. This work paves the way to asymmetric amine synthesis via biocatalytic carbene transfer, and the present strategy based on the synergistic combination of protein and diazo reagent engineering is expected to prove useful in the context of these as well as other challenging asymmetric carbene transfer reactions.

Single-Step Enantioselective Synthesis of Mechanically Planar Chiral [2]Rotaxanes Using a Chiral Leaving Group Strategy.

Project description:We report a one-step enantioselective synthesis of mechanically planar chiral [2]rotaxanes. Previous studies of such molecules have generally involved the separation of enantiomers from racemic mixtures or the preparation and separation of diastereomeric intermediates followed by post-assembly modification to remove other sources of chirality. Here, we demonstrate a simple asymmetric metal-free active template rotaxane synthesis using a primary amine, an activated ester with a chiral leaving group, and an achiral crown ether lacking rotational symmetry. Mechanically planar chiral rotaxanes are obtained directly in up to 50% enantiomeric excess. The rotaxanes were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry, chiral HPLC, single crystal X-ray diffraction, and circular dichroism. Either rotaxane enantiomer could be prepared selectively by incorporating pseudoenantiomeric cinchona alkaloids into the chiral leaving group.
