Reusable and highly enantioselective water-soluble Ru(II)-Amm-Pheox catalyst for intramolecular cyclopropanation of diazo compounds.

ABSTRACT: A reusable and highly enantioselective catalyst for the intramolecular cyclopropanation of various diazo ester and Weinreb amide derivatives was developed. The reactions catalyzed by a water-soluble Ru(II)-Amm-Pheox catalyst proceeded smoothly at room temperature, affording the corresponding bicyclic cyclopropane ring-fused lactones and lactams in high yields (up to 99%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). After screening of various catalysts, the Ru(II)-Amm-Pheox complex having an ammonium group proved to be crucial for the intramolecular cyclopropanation reaction in a water/ether biphasic medium. The water-soluble catalyst could be reused at least six times with little loss in yield and enantioselectivity.

?-Bromodiazoacetamides - a new class of diazo compounds for catalyst-free, ambient temperature intramolecular C-H insertion reactions.

Project description:In this work, we introduce a new class of halodiazocarbonyl compounds, ?-halodiazoacetamides, which through a metal-free, ambient-temperature thermolysis perform intramolecular C-H insertions to produce ?-halo-?-lactams. When carried out with ?-bromodiazoacetamides bearing cyclic side chains, the thermolysis reaction affords bicyclic ?-halo-?-lactams, in some cases in excellent yields, depending on the ring size and substitution pattern of the cyclic amide side chains.

Polyether macrocycles from intramolecular cyclopropanation and ylide formation. Effect of catalyst and coordination.

Project description:The use of catalytic metal carbene methodology with diazoacetates for the construction in high yield of polyether macrocycles having ring sizes greater than 25 has been achieved by preventing access to gamma-C-H positions for intramolecular insertion. Cyclopropanation is the exclusive outcome of reactions performed with dirhodium(II) catalysts, and product yields of greater than 70% are obtained without resorting to high dilution with solvents. With copper(I) catalysts having multiple sites for polyether coordination, intramolecular oxonium ylide formation occurs at the terminal oxygen, followed by [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of the pendant allyl group, in competition with cyclopropanation. Sodium ion coordination with the reactant diazo compound inhibits oxonium ylide formation in copper-catalyzed reactions. The composite results are consistent with copper serving as a template for the substrate as well as the site in the ether complex for diazo decomposition and subsequent metal carbene reactions.

Highly diastereoselective and enantioselective olefin cyclopropanation using engineered myoglobin-based catalysts.

Project description:Using rational design, an engineered myoglobin-based catalyst capable of catalyzing the cyclopropanation of aryl-substituted olefins with catalytic proficiency (up to 46,800 turnovers) and excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity (98-99.9%) was developed. This transformation could be carried out in the presence of up to 20 g L(-1) olefin substrate with no loss in diastereo- and/or enantioselectivity. Mutagenesis and mechanistic studies support a cyclopropanation mechanism mediated by an electrophilic, heme-bound carbene species and a model is provided to rationalize the stereopreference of the protein catalyst. This work shows that myoglobin constitutes a promising and robust scaffold for the development of biocatalysts with carbene-transfer reactivity.

A transition-metal-free & diazo-free styrene cyclopropanation.

Project description:An operationally simple and broadly applicable novel cyclopropanation of styrenes using gem-diiodomethyl carbonyl reagents has been developed. Visible-light triggered the photoinduced generation of iodomethyl carbonyl radicals, able to cyclopropanate a wide array of styrenes with excellent chemoselectivity and functional group tolerance. To highlight the utility of our photocyclopropanation, we demonstrated the late-stage functionalization of biomolecule derivatives.

Highly Stereoselective Synthesis of Fused Cyclopropane-γ-Lactams via Biocatalytic Iron-Catalyzed Intramolecular Cyclopropanation.

Project description:We report the development of an iron-based biocatalytic strategy for the asymmetric synthesis of fused cyclopropane-γ-lactams, which are key structural motifs found in synthetic drugs and bioactive natural products. Using a combination of mutational landscape and iterative site-saturation mutagenesis, sperm whale myoglobin was evolved into a biocatalyst capable of promoting the cyclization of a diverse range of allyl diazoacetamide substrates into the corresponding bicyclic lactams in high yields and with high enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). These biocatalytic transformations can be performed in whole cells and could be leveraged to enable the efficient (chemo)enzymatic construction of chiral cyclopropane-γ-lactams as well as β-cyclopropyl amines and cyclopropane-fused pyrrolidines, as valuable building blocks and synthons for medicinal chemistry and natural product synthesis.

Diastereoselective three-component synthesis of ?-amino carbonyl compounds using diazo compounds, boranes, and acyl imines under catalyst-free conditions.

Project description:Diazo compounds, boranes, and acyl imines undergo a three-component Mannich condensation reaction under catalyst-free conditions to give the anti ?-amino carbonyl compounds in high diastereoselectivity. The reaction tolerates a variety of functional groups, and an asymmetric variant was achieved using the (-)-phenylmenthol as chiral auxiliary in good yield and selectivity. These ?-amino carbonyl compounds are valuable intermediates, which can be transformed to many potential bioactive molecules.

Stereodivergent Intramolecular Cyclopropanation Enabled by Engineered Carbene Transferases.

Project description:We report the development of engineered myoglobin biocatalysts for executing asymmetric intramolecular cyclopropanations resulting in cyclopropane-fused γ-lactones, which are key motifs found in many bioactive molecules. Using this strategy, a broad range of allyl diazoacetate substrates were efficiently cyclized in high yields with up to 99% enantiomeric excess. Upon remodeling of the active site via protein engineering, myoglobin variants with stereodivergent selectivity were also obtained. In combination with whole-cell transformations, these biocatalysts enabled the gram-scale assembly of a key intermediate useful for the synthesis of the insecticide permethrin and other natural products. The enzymatically produced cyclopropyl-γ-lactones can be further elaborated to furnish a variety of enantiopure trisubstituted cyclopropanes. This work introduces a first example of biocatalytic intramolecular cyclopropanation and provides an attractive strategy for the stereodivergent preparation of fused cyclopropyl-γ-lactones of high value for medicinal chemistry and the synthesis of natural products.

Diazo Compounds as Highly Tunable Reactants in 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition Reactions with Cycloalkynes().

Project description:Diazo compounds, which can be accessed directly from azides by deimidogenation, are shown to be extremely versatile dipoles in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with a cyclooctyne. The reactivity of a diazo compound can be much greater or much less than its azide analog, and is enhanced markedly in polar-protic solvents. These reactivities are predictable from frontier molecular orbital energies. The most reactive diazo compound exhibited the highest known second-order rate constant to date for a dipolar cycloaddition with a cycloalkyne. These data provide a new modality for effecting chemoselective reactions in a biological context.
