Enantioselective fluorination of α-branched aldehydes and subsequent conversion to α-hydroxyacetals via stereospecific C-F bond cleavage.

ABSTRACT: The highly enantioselective fluorination of α-branched aldehydes was achieved using newly developed chiral primary amine catalyst 1. Furthermore, the C-F bond cleavage of the resulting α-fluoroaldehydes proceeded smoothly under alcoholic alkaline conditions to yield the corresponding α-hydroxyacetals in a stereospecific manner. Accordingly, the one-pot conversion of α-branched aldehydes into α-hydroxyacetals was achieved for the first time in high enantioselectivity.

Enantioselective organocatalytic α-fluorination of cyclic ketones.

Project description:The first highly enantioselective α-fluorination of ketones using organocatalysis has been accomplished. The long-standing problem of enantioselective ketone α-fluorination via enamine activation has been overcome via high-throughput evaluation of a new library of amine catalysts. The optimal system, a primary amine functionalized Cinchona alkaloid, allows the direct and asymmetric α-fluorination of a variety of carbo- and heterocyclic substrates. Furthermore, this protocol also provides diastereo-, regio-, and chemoselective catalyst control in fluorinations involving complex carbonyl systems.

Enantioselective alpha-trifluoromethylation of aldehydes via photoredox organocatalysis.

Project description:The first enantioselective, organocatalytic alpha-trifluoromethylation and alpha-perfluoroalkylation of aldehydes have been accomplished using a readily available iridium photocatalyst and a chiral imidazolidinone catalyst. A range of alpha-trifluoromethyl and alpha-perfluoroalkyl aldehydes were obtained from commercially available perfluoroalkyl halides with high efficiency and enantioselectivity. The resulting alpha-trifluoromethyl aldehydes were subsequently shown to be versatile precursors for the construction of a variety of enantioenriched trifluoromethylated building blocks.

Synergistic Peptide and Gold Catalysis: Enantioselective Addition of Branched Aldehydes to Allenamides.

Project description:The combination of a peptide catalyst and a gold catalyst is presented for enantioselective addition reactions between branched aldehydes and allenamides. The two catalysts act in concert to provide γ,δ-enamide aldehydes bearing a fully substituted, benzylic stereogenic center - a structural motif common in many natural products and therapeutically active compounds - with good yields and enantioselectivities. The reaction tolerates a variety of alkyl and alkoxy substituted aldehydes and the products can be elaborated into several chiral building blocks bearing either 1,4- or 1,5- functional group relationships. Mechanistic studies showed that the conformational features of the peptide are important for both the catalytic efficiency and stereochemistry, while a balance of acid/base additives is key for ensuring formation of the desired product over undesired side reactions.

Iron-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrosilylation of Vinylcyclopropanes via Stereospecific C-C Bond Cleavage.

Project description:An iron-catalyzed highly anti-Markovnikov selective, enantioselective hydrosilylation of vinylcyclopropanes with PhSiH3 was reported for the preparation of valuable chiral allylic silanes via stereospecific C-C bond cleavage. Simultaneously, difficultly prepared chiral VCPs could be also obtained with moderate to excellent enantioselectivity via this kinetic resolution pathway. The chiral Z-allylic silanes could be converted to various chiral allylic derivatives. A possible mechanism via an iron-silyl species was proposed based on experimental and computational studies.

A Simple Primary Amine Catalyst for Enantioselective ?-Hydroxylations and ?-Fluorinations of Branched Aldehydes.

Project description:A new primary amine catalyst for the asymmetric ?-hydroxylation and ?-fluorination of ?-branched aldehydes is described. The products of the title transformations are generated in excellent yields with high enantioselectivities. Both processes can be performed within short reaction times and on gram scale. The similarity in results obtained in both reactions, combined with computational evidence, implies a common basis for stereoinduction and the possibility of a general catalytic mechanism for ?-functionalizations. Promising initial results in ?-amination and ?-chlorination reactions support this hypothesis.

Stereospecific Electrophilic Fluorination of Alkylcarbastannatrane Reagents.

Project description:We report the use of isolable primary and secondary alkylcarbastannatrane nucleophiles in site-specific fluorination reactions. These reactions occur without the need for transition metal catalysis or in situ activation of the nucleophile. In the absence of the carbastannatrane backbone, alkyltin nucleophiles exhibit no activity towards fluorination. When enantioenriched alkylcarbastannatranes are employed, fluorination occurs predominately via a stereoinvertive mechanism to generate highly enantioenriched alkyl fluoride compounds. These conditions can also be extended to stereospecific chlorination, bromination, and iodination reactions.

Branched intermediate formation stimulates peptide bond cleavage in protein splicing.

Project description:Protein splicing is a post-translational modification in which an intein domain excises itself out of a host protein. Here, we investigate how the steps in the splicing process are coordinated so as to maximize the production of the final splice products and minimize the generation of undesired cleavage products. Our approach has been to prepare a branched intermediate (and analogs thereof) of the Mycobacterium xenopi DNA gyrase A (Mxe GyrA) intein using protein semisynthesis. Kinetic analysis of these molecules indicates that the high fidelity of this protein-splicing reaction results from the penultimate step in the process (intein-succinimide formation) being rate-limiting. NMR experiments indicate that formation of the branched intermediate affects the local structure around the amide bond that is cleaved during succinimide formation. We propose that this structural change reflects a reorganization of the catalytic apparatus to accelerate succinimide formation at the C-terminal splice junction.

Combining asymmetric catalysis with natural product functionalization through enantioselective alpha-fluorination.

Project description:An examination into the derivatization of various natural products using newly developed alpha-fluorination methodology is disclosed. An activated ketene enolate, generated from an acid chloride, is allowed to react with an electrophilic fluorine source (NFSi). Quenching the reaction with a nucleophilic natural product produces biologically relevant alpha-fluorinated carbonyl derivatives of select chemotherapeutics, antibiotics, and other pharmaceuticals.

Enantioselective catalytic alpha-alkylation of aldehydes via an SN1 pathway.

Project description:Primary aminothiourea derivatives are shown to catalyze enantioselective alkylation of alpha-arylpriopionaldehdyes with diarylbromomethane. Evidence for a stepwise, S(N)1 mechanism in the substitution reaction induced by anion binding to the catalyst is provided by catalyst structure-activity studies, kinetic isotope effects, linear free-energy relationship studies, and competition experiments.

Enantioselective Synthesis of D-α-Amino Amides from Aliphatic Aldehydes.

Project description:Peptides consisting of D-amino amides are highly represented among both biologically active natural products and non-natural small molecules used in therapeutic development. Chemical synthesis of D-amino amides most often involves approaches based on enzymatic resolution or fractional recrystallization of their diastereomeric amine salts, techniques that produce an equal amount of the L-amino acid. Enantioselective synthesis, however, promises selective and general access to a specific α-amino amide, and may enable efficient peptide synthesis regardless of the availability of the corresponding α-amino acid. This report describes the use of a cinchona alkaloid-catalyzed aza-Henry reaction using bromonitromethane, and the integration of its product with Umpolung Amide Synthesis. The result is a straightforward 3-step protocol beginning from aliphatic aldehydes that provides homologated peptides bearing an aliphatic side chain at the resulting D-α-amino amide.
