Chiral Bronsted Acid-Catalyzed Asymmetric Synthesis of N-Aryl-cis-aziridine Carboxylate Esters.

ABSTRACT: We report a multi-component asymmetric Brønsted acid-catalyzed aza-Darzens reaction which is not limited to specific aromatic or heterocyclic aldehydes. Incorporating alkyl diazoacetates and, important for high ee's, ortho-tert-butoxyaniline our optimized reaction (i.e. solvent, temperature and catalyst study) affords excellent yields (61-98?%) and mostly >90?% optically active cis-aziridines. (+)-Chloramphenicol was generated in 4 steps from commercial starting materials. A tentative mechanism is outlined.

Ni-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of N-aryl imino esters for the efficient synthesis of chiral α-aryl glycines.

Project description:Chiral α-aryl glycines play a key role in the preparation of some bioactive products, however, their catalytic asymmetric synthesis is far from being satisfactory. Herein, we report an efficient nickel-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of N-aryl imino esters, affording chiral α-aryl glycines in high yields and enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee). The hydrogenation can be conducted on a gram scale with a substrate/catalyst ratio of up to 2000. The obtained chiral N-p-methoxyphenyl α-aryl glycine derivatives are not only directly useful chiral secondary amino acid esters but can also be easily deprotected by treatment with cerium ammonium nitrate for further transformations to several widely used molecules including drug intermediates and chiral ligands. Formation of a chiral Ni-H species in hydrogenation is detected by 1H NMR. Computational results indicate that the stereo selection is determined during the approach of the substrate to the catalyst.

Enantioselective synthesis of anti- and syn-homopropargyl alcohols via chiral Bronsted acid catalyzed asymmetric allenylboration reactions.

Project description:Chiral Brønsted acid catalyzed asymmetric allenylboration reactions are described. Under optimized conditions, anti-homopropargyl alcohols 2 are obtained in high yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities from stereochemically matched aldehyde allenylboration reactions with (M)-1 catalyzed by the chiral phosphoric acid (S)-4. The syn-isomers 3 can also be obtained in good diastereoselectivities and excellent enantioselectivities from the mismatched allenylboration reactions of aromatic aldehydes using (M)-1 in the presence of the enantiomeric phosphoric acid (R)-4. The stereochemistry of the methyl group introduced into 2 and 3 is controlled by the chirality of the allenylboronate (M)-1, whereas the configuration of the new hydroxyl stereocenter is controlled by the enantioselectivity of the chiral phosphoric acid catalyst used in these reactions. The synthetic utility of this methodology was further demonstrated in highly diastereoselective syntheses of a variety of anti, anti-stereotriads, the direct synthesis of which has constituted a significant challenge using previous generations of aldol and crotylmetal reagents.

Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of chiral allylic esters.

Project description:Trichloroacetimidate derivatives of prochiral (Z)-2-alken-1-ols react at room temperature with carboxylic acids to give chiral 3-acyloxy-1-alkenes in high enantiopurity in the presence of di-mu-acetatobis[(eta5-(S)-(pR)-2-(2'-(4'-methylethyl)oxazolinyl)cyclopentadienyl,1-C,3'-N)(eta4-tetraphenylcyclobutadiene)cobalt]dipalladium (COP-OAc) or its enantiomer. This reaction has broad scope, proceeds with predictable high stereoinduction, is accomplished at room temperature using high substrate concentrations and low catalyst loadings, and likely proceeds by a novel mechanism.

Higher-Order Cyclopropenimine Superbases: Direct Neutral Bronsted Base Catalyzed Michael Reactions with ?-Aryl Esters.

Project description:The synthesis and characterization of six new classes of higher-order superbases, including five that incorporate cyclopropenimine functionality, has been achieved. We propose a nomenclature that designates these as the CG2, GC2, PC3, PC1, C3, and GP2 classes of superbases. The pK(BH+) values were measured to be between 29.0 and 35.6 in acetonitrile. Linear correlations of ten superbase basicities vs that of their substituents demonstrated the insulating effect of the cyclopropenimine core. The molecular structures of several of these materials were obtained by single-crystal X-ray analysis, revealing interesting aspects of conformational bias and noncovalent organization. The types of superbasic cores and substituents were each reliably shown to affect selectivity for deprotonation over alkylation. Higher-order cyclopropenimine and guanidine superbase stability to hydrolysis was found to correlate to basicity. Finally, a GC2 base was found to catalyze conjugate additions of ?-aryl ester pronucleophiles, representing the first report of a neutral Brønsted base to catalyze such reactions.

A concise asymmetric synthesis of cis-2,6-disubstituted N-aryl piperazines via Pd-catalyzed carboamination reactions.

Project description:A concise, modular, asymmetric synthesis of cis-2,6-disubstituted piperazines from readily available amino acid precursors is described. The key step in the synthesis is a Pd-catalyzed carboamination of a N1-aryl-N2-allyl-1,2-diamine with an aryl bromide. The products are obtained in 14-20:1 dr, with >97% ee, and the key cyclizations are the first examples of six-membered ring formation via Pd-catalyzed carboamination reactions of unsaturated amines with aryl halides.

Chiral N-salicylidene vanadyl carboxylate-catalyzed enantioselective aerobic oxidation of alpha-hydroxy esters and amides.

Project description:A series of chiral vanadyl carboxylates derived from N-salicylidene-L-alpha-amino acids and vanadyl sulfate has been developed. These configurationally well defined complexes were examined for the kinetic resolution of double- and mono-activated 2 degrees alcohols. The best chiral templates involve the combination of L-tert-leucine and 3,5-di-t-butyl-, 3,5-diphenyl-, or 3,4-dibromo-salicylaldehyde. The resulting vanadyl(V)-methoxide complexes after recrystallization from air-saturated methanol serve as highly enantioselective catalysts for asymmetric aerobic oxidation of alpha-hydroxyl-esters and amides with a diverse array of alpha-, O-, and N-substituents at ambient temperature in toluene. The asymmetric inductions of the oxidation process are in the range of 10 to >100 in terms of selectivity factors (k(rel)) in most instances. The previously undescribed aerobic oxidation protocol is also applicable to the kinetic resolution of C-13 taxol side chain with high selectivity factor (k(rel) = 35). X-ray crystallographic analysis of an adduct between a given vanadyl complex and N-benzyl-mandelamide allows for probing the stereochemical origin of the nearly exclusive asymmetric control in the oxidation process.

Gold-Catalyzed Synthesis of Chiral Cyclopentadienyl Esters via Chirality Transfer.

Project description:Efficient access to chiral cyclopentadienyl esters from readily accessible chiral enynyl ester substrates is developed. Typically high levels of chirality transfer realized in this homogeneous gold catalysis are attributed to the intermediacy of a chiral bent allene gold complex. Cyclopentadienyl esters can be prepared in good yields and with excellent enantiomeric excesses. The synthetic utilities of the chiral cyclopentadienyl esters are demonstrated by the Diels-Alder reactions, fluorination, alkylation, and epoxidation without any notable erosion of enantiopurity.

Chiral (acyclic diaminocarbene)gold(I)-catalyzed dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation of propargyl esters.

Project description:A highly enantioselective transformation catalyzed by chiral (acyclic diaminocarbene)gold(I) complexes is reported. The enantioselective synthesis of 2-substituted chromenyl pivalates from racemic phenol-substituted propargyl pivalates was developed. Rearrangement of the substrates in the presence of cationic gold gave allene intermediates, whose cyclization resulted in formation of enantioenriched product through a dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation.

Dual Ni/photoredox-catalyzed asymmetric cross-coupling to access chiral benzylic boronic esters.

Project description:The flourishing Ni/photoredox-catalyzed asymmetric couplings typically rely on redox-neutral reactions. In this work, we report a reductive cross-coupling of aryl iodides and α-chloroboranes under a dual catalytic regime to further enrich the metallaphotoredox chemistry. This approach proceeds under mild conditions (visible light, ambient temperature, no strong base) to access the versatile benzylic boronic esters with good functional group tolerance and excellent enantioselectivities.

N,N-DIIsopropyl-N-phosphonyl imines lead to efficient asymmetric synthesis of aziridine-2-carboxylic esters.

Project description:Highly diastereoselective asymmetric synthesis of chiral aziridine-2-carboxylic esters is reported for 20 examples with good yields (51-87%) and excellent diastereoselectivities (>99:1 dr for most cases). The modified N-phosphonyl imines have proven to be superior to previous imine auxiliaries for the aza Darzens reaction by using a secondary isopropyl group to replace the primary benzyl group for N,N-diamino protection. In the meanwhile, a special operation by slowly adding the pre-cooled imine solution at -78 °C into the preformed ?-bromo lithium enolate mixture at this temperature in the presence of 4 Å molecular sieves was found to be crucial in terms of yields and diastereoselectivity. The present method can provide an easy and general access to ?-hydroxy ?-amino acids and other important amino building blocks.
