Synthesis of 1,3-cis-disubstituted sterically encumbered imidazolidinone organocatalysts.

ABSTRACT: A variety of novel imidazolidinone-based organocatalysts with bulky substituents were synthesized under mild reaction conditions starting from easily accessible substrates. Different natural and unnatural amino acid methyl amides were cyclized with aromatic carbaldehydes to yield two diastereomeric MacMillan-type catalysts. Special emphasis was put on bulky residues such as mesityl and pyrene moieties.

Synthesis and Characterization of a Sterically Encumbered Homoleptic Tetraalkyliron(III) Ferrate Complex.

Project description:Homoleptic iron-alkyl complexes have been implicated as key intermediates in iron-catalyzed cross-coupling with simple iron salts. Tetraalkyliron(III) ferrate species have been shown to be accessible with either methyl or benzyl ligands, where the former complex is S = 3/2 and distorted square planar while the latter is a S = 5/2 distorted tetrahedral species. In the current study, a new tetraalkyliron(III) complex is synthesized containing modified methylene substituents that incorporate large trimethylsilyl (TMS) groups to further probe steric and electronic ligand effects in tetraalkyliron(III) complexes by increasing the electron-donating ability of the ligand while retaining steric bulk. Detailed structural and DFT studies provide insight into electronic structure and bonding of the four-coordinate trimethylsilylmethyl iron(III) complex compared to the previously reported analogs containing methyl and benzyl ligands.

Copper-catalyzed synthesis of allenylboronic acids. Access to sterically encumbered homopropargylic alcohols and amines by propargylboration.

Project description:Tri- and tetrasubstituted allenylboronic acids were prepared via a new versatile copper-catalyzed methodology. The densely functionalized allenylboronic acids readily undergo propargylboration reactions with ketones and imines without any additives. Catalytic asymmetric propargylborylation of ketones is demonstrated with high stereoselectivity allowing for the synthesis of highly enantioenriched tertiary homopropargyl alcohols. The reaction is suitable for kinetic resolution of racemic allenylboronic acids affording alkynes with adjacent quaternary stereocenters.

A sterically encumbered photoredox catalyst enables the unified synthesis of the classical lignan family of natural products.

Project description:Herein, we detail a unified synthetic approach to the classical lignan family of natural products that hinges on divergence from a common intermediate that was strategically identified from nature's biosynthetic blueprints. Efforts toward accessing the common intermediate through a convergent and modular approach resulted in the discovery of a sterically encumbered photoredox catalyst that can selectively generate carbonyl ylides from electron-rich epoxides. These can undergo concerted [3 + 2] dipolar cycloadditions to afford tetrahydrofurans, which were advanced (2-4 steps) to at least one representative natural product or natural product scaffold within all six subtypes in classical lignans. The application of those synthetic blueprints to the synthesis of heterolignans bearing unnatural functionality was demonstrated, which establishes the potential of this strategy to accelerate structure-activity-relationship studies of these natural product frameworks and their rich biological activity.

Copper Hydride Catalyzed Enantioselective Synthesis of Axially Chiral 1,3-Disubstituted Allenes.

Project description:The general enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral disubstituted allenes from prochiral starting materials remains a long-standing challenge in organic synthesis. Here, we report an efficient enantio- and chemoselective copper hydride catalyzed semireduction of conjugated enynes to furnish 1,3-disubstituted allenes using water as the proton source. This protocol is sufficiently mild to accommodate an assortment of functional groups including keto, ester, amino, halo, and hydroxyl groups. Additionally, applications of this method for the selective synthesis of monodeuterated allenes and chiral 2,5-dihydropyrroles are described.

Mononuclear, Nonheme, High-Spin {FeNO}7/8 Complexes Supported by a Sterically Encumbered N4S-Thioether Ligand.

Project description:The synthesis of a new nonheme iron NO binding complex, [FeII(CH3CN)(N3Py2PhSEtCN)](BF4)2 (1), is reported. Complex 1, which contains two sterically encumbering phenyl substituents, exhibits a high-spin (hs) FeII (S = 2) ground state in contrast to the S = 0 ground state for unsubstituted [FeII(CH3CN)(N3PySEtCN)(BF4)2. Reaction of 1 with NO(g) in CH3CN yields an {FeNO}7 (S = 3/2) complex 2, which slowly decays at 25 °C with loss of NO• to regenerate 1. One-electron reduction of 2 with Cr(C6H6)2 at -40 °C yields the metastable, S = 1?{FeNO}8 complex 3. The nitrosyl moieties in thioether-ligated 2 and 3 are significantly less activated than in thiolate-ligated [Fe(NO)(N3PyS)]+/0, a structurally analogous pair of hs {FeNO}7/8 complexes. Calculations reveal that reduction of 2 is iron-centered, which may be a general property of hs {FeNO}7/8 complexes.

Lewis Acid-Catalyzed Vinyl Acetal Rearrangement of 4,5-Dihydro-1,3-dioxepines: Stereoselective Synthesis of cis- and trans-2,3-Disubstituted Tetrahydrofurans.

Project description:Lewis acid-catalyzed rearrangements of 4,5-dihydro-1,3-dioxepines have been investigated. Rearrangement of vinyl acetals under a variety of conditions resulted in cis- and trans-2,3-disubstituted tetrahydrofuran derivatives in a highly stereoselective manner. Rearrangements at lower temperatures typically provided the cis-2,3-disubstituted tetrahydrofuran carbaldehydes. At higher temperatures, the corresponding trans-2,3-disubstituted tetrahydrofuran carbaldehydes are formed. The requisite substrates for the vinyl acetal rearrangement were synthesized via ring-closing olefin metathesis of bis(allyoxy)methyl derivatives using Grubbs second-generation catalyst followed by olefin isomerization using a catalytic amount of RuCl2(PPh3)3. We examined the substrate scope using substituted aromatic and aliphatic derivatives. Additionally, the rearrangement was utilized in the synthesis of a stereochemically-defined bis-tetrahydrofuran (bis-THF) derivative, which is one of the key structural elements of darunavir, an FDA-approved drug for the treatment of HIV/AIDS.

Iridium-Catalyzed Silylation of C-H Bonds in Unactivated Arenes: A Sterically Encumbered Phenanthroline Ligand Accelerates Catalysis.

Project description:We report a new system for the silylation of aryl C-H bonds. The combination of [Ir(cod)(OMe)]2 and 2,9-Me2-phenanthroline (2,9-Me2-phen) catalyzes the silylation of arenes at lower temperatures and with faster rates than those reported previously, when the hydrogen byproduct is removed, and with high functional group tolerance and regioselectivity. Inhibition of reactions by the H2 byproduct is shown to limit the silylation of aryl C-H bonds in the presence of the most active catalysts, thereby masking their high activity. Analysis of initial rates uncovered the high reactivity of the catalyst containing the sterically hindered 2,9-Me2-phen ligand but accompanying rapid inhibition by hydrogen. With this catalyst, under a flow of nitrogen to remove hydrogen, electron-rich arenes, including those containing sensitive functional groups, undergo silylation in high yield for the first time, and arenes that underwent silylation with prior catalysts react over much shorter times with lower catalyst loadings. The synthetic value of this methodology is demonstrated by the preparation of key intermediates in the synthesis of medicinally important compounds in concise sequences comprising silylation and functionalization. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that the cleavage of the aryl C-H bond is reversible and that the higher rates observed with the 2,9-Me2-phen ligand are due to a more thermodynamically favorable oxidative addition of aryl C-H bonds.

Synthesis of 1,3-disubstituted bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes via directed bridgehead functionalization.

Project description:Bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs) are increasingly valued as intermediates in 'strain release' chemistry for the synthesis of substituted four membered rings and bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes, with applications including bioconjugation processes. Variation of the BCB bridgehead substituents can be challenging due to the inherent strain of the bicyclic scaffold, often necessitating linear syntheses of specific BCB targets. Here we report the first palladium catalyzed cross-coupling on pre-formed BCBs which enables a 'late stage' diversification of the bridgehead position, and the conversion of the resultant products into a range of useful small ring building blocks.

Enantioselective synthesis of a hydroxymethyl-cis-1,3-cyclopentenediol building block.

Project description:A brief, enantioselective synthesis of a hydroxymethyl-cis-1,3-cyclopentenediol building block is presented. This scaffold allows access to the cis-1,3-cyclopentanediol fragments found in a variety of biologically active natural and non-natural products. This rapid and efficient synthesis is highlighted by the utilization of the palladium-catalyzed enantioselective allylic alkylation of dioxanone substrates to prepare tertiary alcohols.
