Control of chemoselectivity in asymmetric tandem reactions: Direct synthesis of chiral amines bearing nonadjacent stereocenters.

ABSTRACT: This paper describes the mechanistic insight-guided development of a catalyst system, employing a phenolic proton donor catalyst in addition to a cinchonium-derived phase-transfer catalyst, to control the chemoselectivity of two distinct intermediates, thereby enabling the desired asymmetric tandem conjugate addition-protonation pathway to dominate over a number of side-reaction pathways to provide a synthetic approach for the direct generation of optically active amines bearing two nonadjacent stereocenters.

Direct Catalytic Asymmetric Mannich Reactions for the Construction of Quaternary Carbon Stereocenters.

Project description:Herein, we report a Zn-ProPhenol catalyzed Mannich reaction using ?-branched ketones as nucleophilic partners for the direct enantio- and diastereoselective construction of quaternary carbon stereocenters. The reaction can be run on a gram-scale with a low catalyst loading without impacting its efficiency. Moreover, the Mannich adducts can be further elaborated with complete diastereocontrol to access molecules possessing complex stereotriads.

One-Step Asymmetric Construction of 1,4-Stereocenters via Tandem Mannich-Isomerization Reactions Mediated by a Dual-Functional Betaine Catalyst.

Project description:The construction of chiral motifs containing nonadjacent stereocenters stands out as a major challenge as they are usually constructed in separate steps utilizing different chiral catalysts. Therefore, the development of new strategies to streamline the construction of such complex motifs has become a major focus of asymmetric synthesis. We report here an unprecedented asymmetric tandem Mannich-isomerization reaction that allows the direct construction of 1,4-stereocenters in a highly stereoselective manner. This asymmetric transformation demonstrated the potential of a tandem nucleophilic addition-isomerization reaction as a broadly useful strategy for the efficient construction of 1,4-stereocenters. Notably, this tandem reaction was mediated by a single chiral betaine as a dual-functional catalyst, promoting first an enantioselective intermolecular C-C bond forming reaction and next a stereoselective intramolecular 1,3-proton transfer reaction.

Asymmetric petasis reactions catalyzed by chiral biphenols.

Project description:Chiral biphenols catalyze the enantioselective Petasis reaction of alkenyl boronates, secondary amines, and ethyl glyoxylate. The reaction requires the use of 15 mol % of (S)-VAPOL as the catalyst, alkenyl boronates as nucleophiles, ethyl glyoxylate as the aldehyde component, and 3 A molecular sieves as an additive. The chiral alpha-amino ester products are obtained in good yields (71-92%) and high enantiomeric ratios (89:11-98:2). Mechanistic investigations indicate single ligand exchange of acyclic boronate with VAPOL and tetracoordinate boronate intermediates.

Catalytic asymmetric reductive hydroalkylation of enamides and enecarbamates to chiral aliphatic amines.

Project description:To increase the reliability and success rate of drug discovery, efforts have been made to increase the C(sp3) fraction and avoid flat molecules. sp3-Rich enantiopure amines are most frequently encountered as chiral auxiliaries, synthetic intermediates for pharmaceutical agents and bioactive natural products. Streamlined construction of chiral aliphatic amines has long been regarded as a paramount challenge. Mainstream approaches, including hydrogenation of enamines and imines, C-H amination, and alkylation of imines, were applied for the synthesis of chiral amines with circumscribed skeleton structures; typically, the chiral carbon centre was adjacent to an auxiliary aryl or ester group. Herein, we report a mild and general nickel-catalysed asymmetric reductive hydroalkylation to effectively convert enamides and enecarbamates into drug-like α-branched chiral amines and derivatives. This reaction involves the regio- and stereoselective hydrometallation of an enamide or enecarbamate to generate a catalytic amount of enantioenriched alkylnickel intermediate, followed by C-C bond formation via alkyl electrophiles.

The Asymmetric Synthesis of Amines via Nickel-Catalyzed Enantioconvergent Substitution Reactions.

Project description:Chiral dialkyl carbinamines are important in fields such as organic chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, and biochemistry, serving for example as bioactive molecules, chiral ligands, and chiral catalysts. Unfortunately, most catalytic asymmetric methods for synthesizing dialkyl carbinamines do not provide general access to amines wherein the two alkyl groups are of similar size (e.g., CH2R versus CH2R1). Herein, we report two mild methods for the catalytic enantioconvergent synthesis of protected dialkyl carbinamines, both of which use a chiral nickel catalyst to couple an alkylzinc reagent (1.1-1.2 equiv) with a racemic partner, specifically, an α-phthalimido alkyl chloride or an N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHP) ester of a protected α-amino acid. The methods are versatile, providing dialkyl carbinamine derivatives that bear an array of functional groups. For couplings of NHP esters, we further describe a one-pot variant wherein the NHP ester is generated in situ, allowing the generation of enantioenriched protected dialkyl carbinamines in one step from commercially available amino acid derivatives; we demonstrate the utility of this method by applying it to the efficient catalytic enantioselective synthesis of a range of interesting target molecules.

Pipecolic acid-catalyzed direct asymmetric mannich reactions.

Project description:Mannich reactions between aldehydes and N-p-methoxyphenyl-protected alpha-imino ethyl glyoxylate have been performed using (S)-pipecolic acid as catalyst. The reactions give both syn- and anti-products (dr=1.4-2:1) with high enantioselectivities (>98% ee). In contrast, (S)-proline-catalyzed reactions give mainly syn-products with high enantioselectivities. Computational studies reveal that the energetic preference between the transition structures involving the s-cis-enamine and the s-trans-enamine is smaller for the pipecolic acid as compared to proline, yielding the (2S,3R)-anti and the (2S,3S)-syn Mannich product in nearly equal amounts.

Asymmetric Petasis Borono-Mannich Allylation Reactions Catalyzed by Chiral Biphenols.

Project description:Chiral biphenols catalyze the asymmetric Petasis borono-Mannich allylation of aldehydes and amines through the use of a bench-stable allyldioxaborolane. The reaction proceeds via a two-step, one-pot process and requires 2-8 mole % of 3,3'-Ph2 -BINOL as the optimal catalyst. Under microwave heating the reaction affords chiral homoallylic amines in excellent yields (up to 99 %) and high enantioselectivies (er up to 99:1). The catalytic reaction is a true multicomponent condensation reaction whereas both the aldehyde and the amine can possess a wide range of structural and electronic properties. Use of crotyldioxaborolane in the reaction results in stereodivergent products with anti- and syn-diastereomers both in good diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities from the corresponding E- and Z-borolane stereoisomers.

Nickel-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of ?-acylamino nitroolefins: an efficient approach to chiral amines.

Project description:An efficient approach for synthesizing chiral ?-amino nitroalkanes has been developed via the Ni-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of challenging ?-amino nitroolefins under mild conditions, affording the desired products in excellent yields and with high enantioselectivities. This protocol had good compatibility with the wide substrate scope and a range of functional groups. The synthesis of chiral ?-amino nitroalkanes on a gram scale has also been achieved. In addition, the reaction mechanism was elucidated using a combined experimental and computational study, and it involved acetate-assisted heterolytic H2 cleavage followed by 1,4-hydride addition and protonation to achieve the nitroalkanes.

Secondary amines as coupling partners in direct catalytic asymmetric reductive amination.

Project description:The secondary amine participating asymmetric reductive amination remains an unsolved problem in organic synthesis. Here we show for the first time that secondary amines are capable of effectively serving as N-sources in direct asymmetric reductive amination to afford corresponding tertiary chiral amines with the help of a selected additive set under mild conditions (0-25 °C). The applied chiral phosphoramidite ligands are readily prepared from BINOL and easily modified. Compared with common tertiary chiral amine synthetic methods, this procedure is much more concise and scalable, as exemplified by the facile synthesis of rivastigmine and N-methyl-1-phenylethanamine.
