Divergent Reactivity during the Trapping of Benzynes by Glycidol Analogs: Ring Cleavage via Pinacol-Like Rearrangements vs Oxirane Fragmentations.

ABSTRACT: Hydroxy-containing cyclic ethers react with thermally generated benzynes to produce aryl ethers. Diverse reactivity was observed. Cleavage of the cyclic ether was involved in most of the pathways. The transformations are rationalized via initial formation of oxonium ion-containing 1,3-zwitterions arising from preferential nucleophilic attack on the benzyne by the ether oxygen. Pinacol-like rearrangements, including ring expansion, to yield aldehydes or ketones and oxirane fragmentations to generate aryl enol ethers were main competing events.

Sulfonamide-Trapping Reactions of Thermally Generated Benzynes.

Project description:Reactions of tethered, tertiary sulfonamides with thermally generated benzynes are reported. Typically, the N-S bonds in the substrates cleave, and saturated heterocycles [tetrahydroquinolines ( n = 2) and indolines ( n = 1)] are formed. The process is accompanied by either sulfonyl transfer or desulfonylation from a zwitterionic intermediate, with the favored pathway being largely dependent upon the size (5- vs 6-membered) of the N-containing ring in the zwitterion.

Tipping the balance: theoretical interrogation of divergent extended heterolytic fragmentations.

Project description:Herein we interrogate a type of heterolytic fragmentation reaction called a 'divergent fragmentation' using density functional theory (DFT), natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD), and external electric field (EEF) calculations. We demonstrate that substituents, electrostatic environment and non-statistical dynamic effects all influence product selectivity in reactions that involve divergent fragmentation pathways. Direct dynamics simulations reveal an unexpected post-transition state bifurcation (PTSB), and EEF calculations suggest that some transition states for divergent pathways can, in principle, be selectively stabilized if an electric field of the correct magnitude is oriented appropriately.

Tactics for Probing Aryne Reactivity: Mechanistic Studies of Silicon-oxygen Bond Cleavage During the Trapping of (HDDA-generated) Benzynes by Silyl Ethers.

Project description:We report mechanistic aspects of the trapping of thermally (HDDA) generated benzyne derivatives by pendant silyl ether groups, which results in net insertion of the pair of benzyne Csp-hydribized carbon atoms into the silicon-oxygen sigma bond. Cross-over experiments using symmetrical, doubly labeled bis-silyl ether substrates established that the reaction is unimolecular in nature. Competition experiments involving either intramolecular or intermolecular dihydrogen transfer clock reactions (from within a TIPS isopropyl group or cyclooctane, respectively) vs. the silyl ether cyclization were used to gain additional insights. We evaluated effects of the steric bulk of the silyl ether trapping group and of the ring-size of the cyclic ether being formed (furan vs. pyran). These types of competition experiments allow the relative rates of various product-determining steps to be determined. This previously has only rarely been possible because aryne formation is typically rate-limiting, making it challenging to probe the kinetics of subsequent trapping reactions. Solvent effects (polarity of the medium) and computational studies were used to probe the question of stepwise vs. concerted pathways for the Si-O insertion.

Arylhydrazine Trapping of Benzynes: Mechanistic Insights and a Route to Azoarenes.

Project description:Arylhydrazines (ArNαHNβH2) are ambident nucleophiles. We describe here their reactivity with benzynes generated in situ by thermal cyclization of several multiynes. Products arising from attack of both the alpha- and beta-nitrogen atoms are observed. These competitive modes of reaction were explored by DFT calculations. Substituent effects on the site-selectivity for several substituted phenylhydrazines were explored. Interestingly, the hydrazo products from beta-attack (ArNHNHAr') can be oxidized, sometimes in situ by oxygen alone, to give structurally complex, unsymmetrical azoarenes (ArN═NAr'). Toluenesulfonohydrazide and benzohydrazide analogues were each demonstrated to undergo similar transformations, including oxidation to the corresponding benzyne-trapped azo compounds.

Divergent Asymmetric Total Synthesis of All Four Pestalotin Diastereomers from (R)-Glycidol.

Project description:All four chiral pestalotin diastereomers were synthesized in a straightforward and divergent manner from common (R)-glycidol. Catalytic asymmetric Mukaiyama aldol reactions of readily-available bis(TMSO)diene (Chan's diene) with (S)-2-benzyloxyhexanal derived from (R)-glycidol produced a syn-aldol adduct with high diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity using a Ti(iOPr)4/(S)-BINOL/LiCl catalyst. Diastereoselective Mukaiyama aldol reactions mediated by catalytic achiral Lewis acids directly produced not only a (1'S,6S)-pyrone precursor via the syn-aldol adduct using TiCl4, but also (1'S,6R)-pyrone precursor via the antialdol adduct using ZrCl4, in a stereocomplementary manner. A Hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of similarly available mono(TMSO)diene (Brassard's diene) with (S)-2-benzyloxyhexanal produced the (1'S,6S)-pyrone precursor promoted by Eu(fod)3 and the (1'S,6R)-pyrone precursor Et2AlCl. Debenzylation of the (1'S,6S)-precursor and the (1'S,6R)-precursor furnished natural (-)-pestalotin (99% ee, 7 steps) and unnatural (+)-epipestalotin (99% ee, 7 steps), respectively. Mitsunobu inversions of the obtained (-)-pestalotin and (+)-epipestalotin successfully produced the unnatural (+)-pestalotin (99% ee, 9 steps) and (-)-epipestalotin (99% ee, 9 steps), respectively, in a divergent manner. All four of the obtained chiral pestalotin diastereomers possessed high chemical and optical purities (optical rotations, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and HPLC measurements).

The Phenol-Ene Reaction: Biaryl Synthesis via Trapping Reactions between HDDA-Generated Benzynes and Phenolics.

Project description:Benzynes produced thermally by the cycloisomerization of triyne-containing precursors [i.e., by the hexadehydro-Diels-Alder (HDDA) reaction] react with phenols at the carbon ortho to the hydroxyl in an enelike fashion. Following tautomerization of the intermediate cyclohexadienones, this produces biaryl derivatives. DFT calculations of model reactions support this mechanistic interpretation. Substituted, unsymmetrical phenols and bis-phenols react in a fashion that can be explained by engagement of the most readily available (non-hydrogen-bonded) hydroxyl in the phenol-ene process.

Divergent synthesis of thapsigargin analogs.

Project description:Thapsigargin (3) is a potent inhibitor of the SERCA-pump protein, with potential for application in a variety of medicinal areas. The efficient and scalable syntheses of thapsigargin (3) and nortrilobolide (2) have been disclosed previously. To demonstrate the modularity of the previous routes, three natural products (compounds 6, 13, 15) and four analogs (compounds 17-20) have been divergently prepared from a common building block featuring varied acyl chains at the C2, C3, and C8 positions. Biological tests revealed that all of the compounds prepared displayed promising activity profiles.

Trapping Reactions of Benzynes Initiated by Intramolecular Nucleophilic Addition of a Carbonyl Oxygen to the Electrophilic Aryne.

Project description:We describe here reactions in which a carbonyl oxygen atom initiates cascade reactions by nucleophilic attack on a covalently attached benzyne. The benzynes are produced by thermal cyclization of triynes via hexadehydro-Diels-Alder reaction. The initially produced oxocarbenium/aryl carbanionic zwitterion is protonated in situ by an external protic nucleophile (NuH) of appropriate acidity. The resulting ion pair (oxocarbenium+/Nu-) collapses through several different mechanistic manifolds, adding to the diversity of structural classes that can be generated.

Oxa-Michael-based divergent synthesis of artificial glutamate analogs.

Project description:Herein we report stereoselective generation of two skeletons, 1,3-dioxane and tetrahydropyranol, by oxa-Michael reaction as the key reaction from δ-hydroxyenone. The construction of the 1,3-dioxane skeleton, achieved through hemiacetal formation followed by oxa-Michael reaction from δ-hydroxyenone, was exploited to access structurally diverse heterotricyclic artificial glutamate analogs. On the other hand, formation of a novel tetrahydro-2H-pyranol skeleton was accomplished by the inverse reaction order: oxa-Michael reaction followed by hemiacetal formation. Thus, this study succeeded in showing that structural diversity in a compound collection can be acquired by interchanging the order of just two reactions. Among the skeletally diverse, heterotricyclic artificial glutamate analogs synthesized in this study, a neuronally active compound named TKM-50 was discovered in the mice in vivo assay.

Dichlorination of (hexadehydro-Diels-Alder generated) benzynes and a protocol for interrogating the kinetic order of bimolecular aryne trapping reactions.

Project description:The efficient dichlorination of benzynes prepared by the hexadehydro-Diels-Alder (HDDA) reaction is reported. Cycloisomerization of a triyne substrate in the presence of dilithium tetrachlorocuprate is shown to provide dichlorinated products A by capture of the benzyne intermediate. A general strategy for discerning the kinetic order of an external aryne trapping agent is presented. It merely requires measurement of the competition between bimolecular vs unimolecular trapping events (here, dichlorination vs intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) reaction to give A vs B, respectively) as a function of the concentration of the trapping agent.
