Copper-catalyzed cyanothiolation to incorporate a sulfur-substituted quaternary carbon center.

ABSTRACT: Sulfur-containing nitriles have important research value in the life sciences due to their diverse biological activities resulting from the sulfur and cyano functional groups. Herein, a copper-catalyzed cyanothiolation of N-tosylhydrazones with thiocyanates to generate ?-arylthioalkanenitriles bearing sulfur-substituted quaternary carbon center atoms has been described. This novel protocol involves the procedure of copper carbene species promoting S-CN bond cleavage and C-CN/C-S bond reconstruction to introduce both sulfur and cyano groups onto a single carbon center. This cyanothiolation reaction will greatly enhance the synthetic utility of carbenoid species as new entries for the construction of diverse heteroatom-containing nitriles via cyanofunctionalization of metal-carbene species.

Enantioselective Construction of Acyclic Quaternary Carbon Stereocenters: Palladium-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Allylic Alkylation of Fully Substituted Amide Enolates.

Project description:We report a divergent and modular protocol for the preparation of acyclic molecular frameworks containing newly created quaternary carbon stereocenters. Central to this approach is a sequence composed of a (1) regioselective and -retentive preparation of allyloxycarbonyl-trapped fully substituted stereodefined amide enolates and of a (2) enantioselective palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic alkylation reaction using a novel bisphosphine ligand.

All-carbon quaternary centers via ruthenium-catalyzed hydroxymethylation of 2-substituted butadienes mediated by formaldehyde: beyond hydroformylation.

Project description:Ruthenium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of 2-substituted dienes 1a-i in the presence of paraformaldehyde results in reductive coupling at the 2-position to furnish the hydroxymethylation products 3a-i, which embody all-carbon quaternary centers. Reductive coupling of diene 1g to paraformaldehyde under standard conditions, but employing deuterio-paraformaldehyde, 2-propanol-d(8), or both, corroborated a catalytic mechanism involving rapid, reversible diene hydrometalation with incomplete regioselectivity in advance of C-C coupling. The present method provides an alternative to the hydroformylation of conjugated dienes, for which efficient, regioselective catalytic systems remain undeveloped.

Iodine-catalyzed electrophilic substitution of indoles: Synthesis of (un)symmetrical diindolylmethanes with a quaternary carbon center.

Project description:A novel, versatile approach for the synthesis of unsymmetrical 3,3'-diindolylmethanes (DIMs) with a quaternary carbon center has been developed via iodine-catalyzed coupling of trifluoromethyl(indolyl)phenylmethanols with indoles. In contrast to previously reported methods, the new procedure is characterized by chemoselectivity, mild conditions, high yields, and scalability to obtain gram amounts for biological studies. Selected compounds were found to display affinity for cannabinoid receptors, which are promising drug targets for the treatment of inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases.

Enantioselective synthesis of allylboronates bearing a tertiary or quaternary B-substituted stereogenic carbon by NHC-Cu-catalyzed substitution reactions.

Project description:Allylic substitutions that afford alpha-substituted allylboronates bearing B-substituted tertiary or quaternary carbon stereogenic centers are presented. C-B bond-forming reactions, catalyzed by chiral bidentate Cu-NHC complexes, are performed in the presence of commercially available bis(pinacolato)diboron. Transformations proceed in high yield (up to >98%) and site selectivity (>98% S(N)2'), and in up to >99:1 enantiomer ratio. Trans- or cis-disubstituted alkenes can be used; alkyl- (linear as well as branched) and aryl-trisubstituted allylic carbonates serve as effective substrates. Allylboronates that bear a quaternary carbon center are air-stable and can be easily purified by silica gel chromatography; in contrast, secondary allylboronates cannot be purified in the same manner and are significantly less stable. Oxidation of the enantiomerically enriched products furnishes secondary or tertiary allylic alcohols, valuable small molecules that cannot be easily obtained in high enantiomeric purity by alternative synthesis or kinetic resolution approaches.

Enantioselective synthesis of boron-substituted quaternary carbon stereogenic centers through NHC-catalyzed conjugate additions of (pinacolato)boron units to enones.

Project description:The first examples of Lewis base catalyzed enantioselective boryl conjugate additions (BCAs) that generate products containing boron-substituted quaternary carbon stereogenic centers are disclosed. Reactions are performed in the presence of 1.0-5.0?mol% of a readily accessible chiral accessible N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) and commercially available bis(pinacolato)diboron; cyclic or linear ?,?-unsaturated ketones can be used and rigorous exclusion of air or moisture is not necessary. The desired products are obtained in 63-95% yield and 91:9 to >99:1 enantiomeric ratio (e.r.). The special utility of the NHC-catalyzed approach is demonstrated in the context of an enantioselective synthesis of natural product antifungal (-)-crassinervic acid.

Formation of vinyl-, vinylhalide- or acyl-substituted quaternary carbon stereogenic centers through NHC-Cu-catalyzed enantioselective conjugate additions of Si-containing vinylaluminums to ?-substituted cyclic enones.

Project description:A catalytic method for enantioselective conjugate addition (ECA) of Si-containing vinylaluminum reagents to ?-substituted cyclopentenones and cyclohexenones is described. Reactions are promoted by 1.0-5.0 mol % of a bidentate NHC-Cu complex, which is prepared from air-stable CuCl(2)•2H(2)O and used in situ, and typically proceed to completion within 15-20 min. The requisite vinylmetals are generated efficiently by a site-selective hydroalumination of an alkyne with dibal-H. The desired products, containing a quaternary carbon stereogenic center, are obtained in 48-95% yield after purification and in 89:11 to >98:2 enantiomer ratio (er). The vinylsilane moiety within the products can be functionalized to afford acyl, vinyliodide, or desilylated alkenes in 67% to >98% yield and with >90% retention of the alkene's stereochemical identity. The utility of the catalytic process is illustrated in the context of a concise enantioselective synthesis of riccardiphenol B.

Rhodium-Catalyzed Enantioselective Cycloisomerization to Cyclohexenes Bearing Quaternary Carbon Centers.

Project description:We report a Rh-catalyzed enantioselective cycloisomerization of ?,?-heptadienes to afford cyclohexenes bearing quaternary carbon centers. Rhodium(I) and a new SDP ligand promote chemoselective formation of a cyclohex-3-enecarbaldehyde motif that is inaccessible by the Diels-Alder cycloaddition. Various ?,?-bisallylaldehydes rearrange to generate six-membered rings by a mechanism triggered by aldehyde C-H bond activation. Mechanistic studies suggest a pathway involving regioselective carbometalation and endocyclic ?-hydride elimination.

Copper Catalyzed Oxidative Arylation of Tertiary Carbon Centers.

Project description:We describe herein a Cu(OTf)2 catalyzed oxidative arylation of a tertiary carbon-containing substrate including aryl malononitriles, 3-aryl benzofuran-2-ones, and 3-aryl oxindoles. In some cases, the nitrile groups of the aryl malononitriles undergo further reactions leading to lactones or imines. These reaction conditions are applicable for a range of arenes, including phenols, anilines, anisoles, and heteroarenes. Mechanistic studies support the formation of a cationic intermediate via a two-electron oxidation.

Copper-Catalyzed Formal [4+2] Cycloaddition of Enoldiazoimides with Sulfur Ylides.

Project description:Enoldiazoimides, a new subclass of enoldiazo compounds, generate enol-substituted carbonyl ylides whose reactions with sulfur ylides enable an unprecedented formal [4+2] cycloaddition. The resulting multifunctionalized indolizidinones, which incorporate sulfur, are formed in good yields under mild reaction conditions. The uniqueness of this transformation stems from the role of the silyl-protected enol, since the corresponding acetyldiazoimide failed to provide any cross-products in metal-catalyzed reactions with sulfur ylides. This copper-catalyzed cycloaddition is initiated with the generation of enol-substituted carbonyl ylides and sulfur ylides from enoldiazoimides and sulfonium salts, respectively, and proceeds through stepwise six-membered ring formation, C-O and C-S bond cleavage, and silyl and acetyl group migration.
