Chiral Bronsted acid-catalyzed enantioselective Friedel-Crafts reaction of 2-methoxyfuran with aliphatic ketimines generated in situ.

ABSTRACT: An enantioselective Friedel-Crafts reaction with aliphatic ketimines generated in situ from hemiaminal ethers catalyzed by a chiral Brønsted acid was investigated. The reaction of 2-methoxyfuran with (thio)hydantoin-derived hemiaminal methyl ether proceeded under the influence of a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst to afford the corresponding adduct possessing a quaternary stereogenic center in high yield with high enantioselectivity. Theoretical studies were also conducted to clarify the mechanism of the stereochemical outcome and the major factors contributing to the efficient enantioselection.

The enantioselective construction of tetracyclic diterpene skeletons with Friedel-Crafts alkylation and palladium-catalyzed cycloalkenylation reactions.

Project description:Due to the profound extent to which natural products inspire medicinal chemists in drug discovery, there is demand for innovative syntheses of these often complex materials. This article describes the synthesis of tricarbocyclic natural product architectures through an extension of the enantioselective Birch-Cope sequence with intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions. Additionally, palladium-catalyzed enol silane cycloalkenylation of the tricarbocyclic structures afforded the challenging bicyclo[3.2.1]octane C/D ring system found in the gibberellins and the ent-kauranes, two natural products with diverse medicinal value. In the case of the ent-kaurane derivative, an unprecedented alkene rearrangement converted four alkene isomers to one final product.

Regio- and Enantioselective N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed Annulation of Aminoindoles Initiated by Friedel-Crafts Alkylation.

Project description:Chiral indoles annulated on the benzene ring are unique and significant in natural and medicinal compounds. However, accessing these enantioenriched molecules has often been overlooked. The present study introduces an organocatalytic protocol to access these compounds efficiently, demonstrated by substrate scope, functional group tolerance, and using only 1 mol % of a chiral conjugated acid catalyst. Additionally, the study explores regioselectivity, gram-scale reactions, and follow-up transformations, underscoring the method's potential.

Enantioselective access to chiral aliphatic amines and alcohols via Ni-catalyzed hydroalkylations.

Project description:Chiral aliphatic amine and alcohol derivatives are ubiquitous in pharmaceuticals, pesticides, natural products and fine chemicals, yet difficult to access due to the challenge to differentiate between the spatially and electronically similar alkyl groups. Herein, we report a nickel-catalyzed enantioselective hydroalkylation of acyl enamines and enol esters with alkyl halides to afford enantioenriched α-branched aliphatic acyl amines and esters in good yields with excellent levels of enantioselectivity. The operationally simple protocol provides a straightforward access to chiral secondary alkyl-substituted amine and secondary alkyl-substituted alcohol derivatives from simple starting materials with great functional group tolerance.

Synthesis of Benzyl Amines via Copper-Catalyzed Enantioselective Aza-Friedel-Crafts Addition of Phenols to N-Sulfonyl Aldimines.

Project description:A new copper-catalyzed enantioselective aza-Freidel-Crafts reaction between phenols and N-sulfonyl aldimines that provides chiral secondary benzylamines in good to excellent yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) is disclosed. In particular, excellent scope with alkylimines was observed for the first time. The synthetic utility of the products was demonstrated in the first enantioselective synthesis of a dual orexin receptor antagonist, a compound that contains an amine-bearing stereocenter adjacent to a bis- ortho-functionalized arene.

Enantioselective Nazarov cyclization of indole enones cooperatively catalyzed by Lewis acids and chiral Bronsted acids.

Project description:Enantioselective control of the chirality of a tertiary ?-carbon in the products of a Nazarov cyclization of enones is challenging because the reaction involves an enantioselective proton transfer process. We herein report the use of cooperative catalysis using Lewis acids and chiral Brønsted acids to control the stereochemistry of the tertiary ?-carbon in the products of this reaction. Specifically, with ZnCl2 and a chiral spiro phosphoric acid as catalysts, we realized the first enantioselective construction of cyclopenta[b]indoles with chiral tertiary ?-carbons via Nazarov cyclization of indole enone substrates with only one coordinating site. Mechanistic studies revealed that the chiral spiro phosphoric acid acts as a multifunctional catalyst: it co-catalyzes the cyclization of the dienone and enantioselectively catalyzes a proton transfer reaction of the enol intermediate. This new strategy of enantioselective control by means of cooperative catalysis may show utility for other challenging asymmetric cyclization reactions.

Tandem Friedel-Crafts-Alkylation-Enantioselective-Protonation by Artificial Enzyme Iminium Catalysis.

Project description:The incorporation of organocatalysts into protein scaffolds holds the promise of overcoming some of the limitations of this powerful catalytic approach. Previously, we showed that incorporation of the non-canonical amino acid para-aminophenylalanine into the non-enzymatic protein scaffold LmrR forms a proficient and enantioselective artificial enzyme (LmrR_pAF) for the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of indoles with enals. The unnatural aniline side-chain is directly involved in catalysis, operating via a well-known organocatalytic iminium-based mechanism. In this study, we show that LmrR_pAF can enantioselectively form tertiary carbon centres not only during C-C bond formation, but also by enantioselective protonation, delivering a proton to one face of a prochiral enamine intermediate. The importance of various side-chains in the pocket of LmrR is distinct from the Friedel-Crafts reaction without enantioselective protonation, and two particularly important residues were probed by exhaustive mutagenesis.
