Arynes and Cyclic Alkynes as Synthetic Building Blocks for Stereodefined Quaternary Centers.

ABSTRACT: We report a facile method to synthesize stereodefined quaternary centers from reactions of arynes and related strained intermediates using ?-ketoester-derived substrates. The conversion of ?-ketoesters to chiral enamines is followed by reaction with in situ generated strained arynes or cyclic alkynes. Hydrolytic workup provides the arylated or alkenylated products in enantiomeric excesses as high as 96%. We also describe the one-pot conversion of a ?-ketoester substrate to the corresponding enantioenriched ?-arylated product. Computations show how chirality is transferred from the N-bound chiral auxiliary to the final products. These are the first theoretical studies of aryne trapping by chiral nucleophiles to set new stereocenters. Our approach provides a solution to the challenging problem of stereoselective ?-ketoester arylation/alkenylation, with formation of a quaternary center.

We report a facile method to synthesize stereodefined quaternary centers from reactions of arynes and related strained intermediates using β-ketoester-derived substrates. The conversion of β-ketoesters to chiral enamines is followed by reaction with in situ generated strained arynes or cyclic alkynes. Hydrolytic workup provides the arylated or alkenylated products in enantiomeric excesses as high as 96%. We also describe the one-pot conversion of a β-ketoester substrate to the corresponding enan ...[more]

Enantioselective synthesis of highly oxygenated acyclic quaternary center-containing building blocks <i>via</i> palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic alkylation of cyclic siloxyketones.

Project description:The development of a palladium-catalyzed enantioselective decarboxylative allylic alkylation of cyclic siloxyketones to produce enantioenriched silicon-tethered heterocycles is reported. The reaction proceeds smoothly to provide products bearing a quaternary stereocenter in excellent yields (up to 91% yield) with high levels of enantioselectivity (up to 94% ee). We further utilized the unique reactivity of the siloxy functionality to access chiral, highly oxygenated acyclic quaternary building blocks. In addition, we subsequently demonstrated the utility of these compounds through the synthesis of a lactone bearing vicinal quaternary-trisubstituted stereocenters.

Assembly of protein building blocks using a short synthetic peptide.

Project description:Combining proteins or their defined domains offers new enhanced functions. Conventionally, two proteins are either fused into a single polypeptide chain by recombinant means or chemically cross-linked. However, these strategies can have drawbacks such as poor expression (recombinant fusions) or aggregation and inactivation (chemical cross-linking), especially in the case of large multifunctional proteins. We developed a new linking method which allows site-oriented, noncovalent, yet irreversible stapling of modified proteins at neutral pH and ambient temperature. This method is based on two distinct polypeptide linkers which self-assemble in the presence of a specific peptide staple allowing on-demand and irreversible combination of protein domains. Here we show that linkers can either be expressed or be chemically conjugated to proteins of interest, depending on the source of the proteins. We also show that the peptide staple can be shortened to 24 amino acids still permitting an irreversible combination of functional proteins. The versatility of this modular technique is demonstrated by stapling a variety of proteins either in solution or to surfaces.

Synthesis of Stereodefined 1,1-Diborylalkenes via Copper-Catalyzed Diboration of Terminal Alkynes.

Project description:A copper-catalyzed method for the E-selective 1,1-diboration of terminal alkynes is described. The tandem process involves sequential dehydrogenative borylation of the alkyne substrate with HBdan (1,8-diaminonaphthalatoborane), followed by hydroboration with HBpin (pinacolborane). This method proceeds efficiently under mild conditions, furnishing 1,1-diborylalkenes with excellent stereoselectivity and broad functional group tolerance. Taking advantage of the different reactivities of the two boryl moieties, the products can then be employed in stepwise cross-couplings with aryl halides for the stereocontrolled construction of trisubstituted alkenes.

Selective Catalytic Synthesis of 1,2- and 8,9-Cyclic Limonene Carbonates as Versatile Building Blocks for Novel Hydroxyurethanes.

Project description:The selective catalytic synthesis of limonene-derived monofunctional cyclic carbonates and their subsequent functionalisation via thiol-ene addition and amine ring-opening is reported. A phosphotungstate polyoxometalate catalyst used for limonene epoxidation in the 1,2-position is shown to also be active in cyclic carbonate synthesis, allowing a two-step, one-pot synthesis without intermittent epoxide isolation. When used in conjunction with a classical halide catalyst, the polyoxometalate increased the rate of carbonation in a synergistic double-activation of both substrates. The cis isomer is shown to be responsible for incomplete conversion and by-product formation in commercial mixtures of 1,2-limomene oxide. Carbonation of 8,9-limonene epoxide furnished the 8,9-limonene carbonate for the first time. Both cyclic carbonates underwent thiol-ene addition reactions to yield linked di-monocarbonates, which can be used in linear non-isocyanate polyurethanes synthesis, as shown by their facile ring-opening with N-hexylamine. Thus, the selective catalytic route to monofunctional limonene carbonates gives straightforward access to monomers for novel bio-based polymers.

Stereocontrolled alkylative construction of quaternary carbon centers.

Project description:Protocols for the stereodefined formation of alpha,alpha-disubstituted enolates of pseudoephedrine amides are presented followed by the implementation of these in diastereoselective alkylation reactions. Direct alkylation of alpha,alpha-disubstituted pseudoephedrine amide substrates is demonstrated to be both efficient and diastereoselective across a range of substrates, as exemplified by alkylation of the diastereomeric pseudoephedrine alpha-methylbutyramides, where both substrates are found to undergo stereospecific replacement of the alpha-C-H bond with alpha-C-alkyl, with retention of stereochemistry. This is shown to arise by sequential stereospecific enolization and alkylation reactions, with the alkyl halide attacking a common pi-face of the E- and Z-enolates, proposed to be opposite the pseudoephedrine alkoxide side chain. Pseudoephedrine alpha-phenylbutyramides are found to undergo highly stereoselective but not stereospecific alpha-alkylation reactions, which evidence suggests is due to facile enolate isomerization. Also, we show that alpha,alpha-disubstituted pseudoephedrine amide enolates can be generated in a highly stereocontrolled fashion by conjugate addition of an alkyllithium reagent to the s-cis-conformer of an alpha-alkyl-alpha,beta-unsaturated pseudoephedrine amide, providing alpha,alpha-disubstituted enolate substrates that undergo alkylation in the same sense as those formed by direct deprotonation. Methods are presented to transform the alpha-quaternary pseudoephedrine amide products into optically active carboxylic acids, ketones, primary alcohols, and aldehydes.

Synthesis of quaternary carbon centers via hydroformylation.

Project description:The application of hydroformylation to the synthesis of quaternary carbon centers is reported. The synthesis of the highly substituted carbon is achieved by applying a catalytic amount of 1. Ligand 1 serves as a catalytic directing group by covalently and reversibly binding to both the substrate and catalyst. The intramolecular nature of the directing group strategy accelerates the hydroformylation reaction such that the reaction is performed at mild temperatures (35-55 degrees C) and with excellent regioselectivity (b:l > 94:6).

Four-dimensional micro-building blocks.

Project description:Four-dimensional (4D) printing relies on multimaterial printing, reinforcement patterns, or micro/nanofibrous additives as programmable tools to achieve desired shape reconfigurations. However, existing programming approaches still follow the so-called origami design principle to generate reconfigurable structures by self-folding stacked 2D materials, particularly at small scales. Here, we propose a programmable modular design that directly constructs 3D reconfigurable microstructures capable of sophisticated 3D-to-3D shape transformations by assembling 4D micro-building blocks. 4D direct laser writing is used to print two-photon polymerizable, stimuli-responsive hydrogels to construct building blocks at micrometer scales. Denavit-Hartenberg (DH) parameters, used to define robotic arm kinematics, are introduced as guidelines for how to assemble the micro-building blocks and plan the 3D motion of assembled chain blocks. Last, a 3D-printed microscaled transformer capable of changing its shape from a race car to a humanoid robot is devised and fabricated using the DH parameters to guide the motion of various assembled compartments.

Access to a new class of synthetic building blocks <i>via</i> trifluoromethoxylation of pyridines and pyrimidines.

Project description:Since the first synthesis of trifluoromethyl ethers in 1935, the trifluoromethoxy (OCF3) group has made a remarkable impact in medicinal, agrochemical, and materials science research. However, our inability to facilely incorporate the OCF3 group into molecules, especially heteroaromatics, has limited its potential across a broad spectrum of technological applications. Herein, we report a scalable and operationally simple protocol for regioselective trifluoromethoxylation of a wide range of functionalized pyridines and pyrimidines under mild reaction conditions. The trifluoromethoxylated products are useful scaffolds that can be further elaborated by amidation and palladium-catalysed cross coupling reactions. Mechanistic studies suggest that a radical O-trifluoromethylation followed by the OCF3-migration reaction pathway is operable. Given the unique properties of the OCF3 group and the ubiquity of pyridine and pyrimidine in biologically active molecules and functional materials, trifluoromethoxylated pyridines and pyrimidines could serve as valuable building blocks for the discovery and development of new drugs, agrochemicals, and materials.

Project description:A convergent synthesis of highly substituted and stereodefined skipped polyenes is described from the reductive cross-coupling of substituted 1,5-diene-3-ols with alkynes. The control of site selectivity in functionalization of the substituted diene is a central feature of this complex fragment union reaction.

Amine-Functionalized Spin Crossover Building Blocks.

Project description:Bistable spin crossover complexes such as [Fe{HB(pz)3}2] (pzH = pyrazole) show promise for sensor applications and electrically-controlled data storage units, but exploiting their potential hinges on their integration into a functional environment. We here present a system enabling such covalent post-functionalization steps in both symmetric and asymmetric patterns, based on the amine-functionalized complex [Fe{HB(4-NH2pz)(pz)2}2], obtained by reduction of the nitro analogue. The building block aspects of [Fe{HB(4-NH2pz)(pz)2}2] are showcased by its transformation into amide, imine and azo derivatives, which are structurally and magnetically characterized. All tris(pyrazolyl)borate complexes retain the spin crossover properties of their parent compound, with spin crossover temperatures ranging from 350 to 430 K. The transition parameters are correlated with the electronic properties of the functionalizing group, opening the possibility of fine-tuning the spin crossover properties of the building block as it is integrated in the environment of choice.
